Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Don't be hard on yourself. Typos happen. 3nodding ))

((Yeah, if it weren't for Firefox my posts would probably be full of typos. I love it so. whee ))

((*pokes everyone* I'm still alive, just had inventory over the weekend at work, so i've been busy, should be back to posting tomorrow...))

((Quite understandable, I trust the two of you had fun?))

Sasha's dark eyes had fluttered closed after a few sips, and she had reached the point of practically purring. She savored each taste, slowly relaxing from the mental strain she had to endure earlier. Understanding Nicky would take time, and she'd do it later, but right now: coffee. She could feel the warmth it caused filling her body. She preferred to feel not think. Especially at what time was it, two in the morning? Dakota had better be good in bed, otherwise Sasha was strangling her for this.

The faint click pulled her from her mixture of homical and other fantasies. Though she could not place it, she instinctively knew that she had heard the sound many times before. So her head moved in a fluid motion towards it, and a faint smile crossed her lips when she saw Isaac open his trusty notebook. After placing her mug behind her, Sasha slid closer towards him in a practiced motion. From behind, she wrapped her arms around him, and it seemed like she couldn't help but nuzzle his neck. She could easily peer over his shoulder and managed to catch the word 'life' before the black cover concealed the page. She whispered softly into his ear, nipping at it playfully, "What were you writing, Isaac?"

((Sorry it took me so long to reply, and for it being short. My connection sucks and it's disconnected before it'll post. And therefore, I've had to rewrite this twice. Ugh.))

((I'm glad, and yeah...I've learned. The second time, I was just trying to preview it so I didn't think about it.

And that's helpful for me too. Especially in considering what their relationship is like.))

It made Sasha smile as his body relaxed against hers. It was the most wonderful moment: sharing another’s heat. Her arms tightened their grip minutely upon hearing the answer. She never understood what the books’ true purpose was, but from what she had seen it was to remind him of depressing thoughts. Nuzzling his neck caringly, she questioned in a curious voice, as if any answer he gave was fine, “Don’t you prefer the consistencies?” She felt that she was beginning to grow closer to Isaac than the rest of her ‘friends with benefits.’ From being aware of other’s reactions to her flirtations, she could easily tell something was always on his mind. She understood privacy though, and was just grateful for what he did share with her. It was odd; she would find herself pondering what was bothering him. No reasonable suggestion had come to her, so clueless as she was, she could do no more than keep him calm and positive. The latter was difficult occasionally, more frequently when they weren’t alone because she couldn’t distract him.

((I'm sorry this is really short, if you want me to I'll edit it tomorrow morning.))
Sasha gave him a sweet smile and as she kissed his cheek. She said in a teasing voice, “Then write about that instead, silly.” She wondered where his thoughts were leading to because she could feel his muscles tense as he mentally drifted off. Her fingers began to lightly stroke at his abs discreetly, as she doubted he’d want public comfort. She closed her eyes as she waited for him to focus once more, simply focusing on his smell. Almost as an example, she relaxed completely against him, her breath coming at a steady rate. She took his addition as a sign that he’d come back to normal and was aware of his surroundings. She ddin’t really have anything else to say to him, but the thought of letting go wasn’t very appealing. So she stayed there, simply relaxed silently against him without purpose. .

Zenith tried his best to completely ignore Sasha's brief and flirtatious invasion of his personal space. However, he couldn't help but flinch slightly as she pulled him close. Her perfume was strong, and it clouded his judgement for a brief moment. He shook it off mentally, and stared blankly over her shoulder as she kissed his neck. When she backed away, he made a very slight shudder to express his discontent with her action. He brushed off his shoulder lightly as though he head leant in something nasty. Returning his attention to the coffee without a word, he sipped absently at the intense mixture, leaning back against the kitchen counter and averting his gaze from the woman. He rolled his eyes as she switched her target to Isaac, and turned to see that Dakota had remained strangely silent during the last few minutes. "Don't you want your coffee?" He asked with a small grin. "I'll have it if you don't, so hurry whilst it's still there."

Zenith sipped again at the coffee, and finding that it had cooled slightly he took a larger take on the drink. After a couple of minutes he had finished his, and placed the cup on the counter beside him before continuing to lean idly. He felt a craving for nicotine begin to take hold of him, and swallowed uncomfortably. He had not let anyone in the mansion discover that he was a smoker yet, as he often received criticism for his habit and preferred to avoid this scenario. He tried to let the social situation distract his attention, but had little success due to the fact that it wasn't exactly a very engaging one. Sasha appeared to have Isaac wrapped around her finger, he was trying not to think about that, and Dakota had been quiet since they had arrived in the kitchen. He wondered what she was thinking, but her thoughts were just as much of a mystery as Isaac's often were. It seemed that Sasha was the only transparent individual in the mansion. He thought about his own behaviour, and wondered whether he was an easy person to read. It was an interesting idea, and he let this distract him from the incessant bother of his addiction.

((Sorry that I'm hardly ever online at the same time as you guys. Seems like I'm only posting once a day because everyone is offline. Time zones are a pain.))
