Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lin was slightly dazed after that amazing kiss. No matter how many times Dymetri kissed her... well, wait. They actually hadn't kissed like that very often since they had just finally accepted their feelings for each other recently. But she had a feeling that even years from now, when hopefully she was still feeling those kisses he gave her, they would still have that incredible effect on her.

She still managed to smile up at him, though. "Well, I hope that whatever it is, it will involve me receiving another incredible kiss like that."

When Dymetri spoke of that memory, Lin, too, was teleported back to that time. She really had loathed him, but even then, there was something about him that had drawn her to him. She still had wanted to be around him, even though she didn't admit that to herself. She just thought that any reason she even considered being around him was due to his vampire hunting charm that allowed him to lure his prey to him.

But now she knew that wasn't the case. She loved him. Her soul had known that before her brain had even allowed her to even consider that notion.

A newborn kitten, though?! While the image was adorable, it hardly applied to her! She was a fierce warrior!! Well... she was quite fierce with a bow and arrow and could even light the arrow on fire just by brushing it against her lips!

But she quickly forgot about her irritation when Dymetri suddenly placed his lips upon hers in a soft kiss. In response, she wrapped her arms around Dymetri's neck and made the kiss deeper, pressing her lips harder against his.

However, as she kissed him, his last words finally registered in her brain once they got past the fog. With those words now ringing in her mind, she pulled away from Dymetri slowly and a frown formed on her face.

Lin started to shake her head slowly. "No, Dymetri. I will not fight you, not even to spar, simply to find out who is stronger. If you accidentally end up biting me, we both perish. My blood kills you and your fangs kill me. If the spring water around my neck comes in contact with you in its full concentration, which I often use in battles, it will kill you. It is far too dangerous to simply squelch a simple curiosity!"

Wow. Normally, hearing a vampire growl like that would bring out the fight in her and turn her into a warrior faster than a human could blink. But with Dymetri... it had the opposite effect.

Sure, it caused her blood to race, but not due to fear. The fact that he was so passionate about what he was saying, how he was so commanding that a growl escaped his mouth just entranced her. And he had cursed! He hardly ever did that in front of her... well, directed at her. And the sick part was, she actually liked it! What was this gorgeous creature doing to her?!

And almost as quickly as his words and growl had ignited her, his next words and actions calmed her down immediately. It was as if her heart was getting whiplash from all the quick changes Dymetri was causing in her.

She smirked at what he said about how Elves tasted and she wrapped her arms around his neck again. "Oh yes, we do. All woodsy, full of life, innocence, light... things I am certain you would detest. However, there are other ways to get a taste without tasting my blood."

She leaned her forehead away from Dymetri just slightly so that she could bring her wrist up in front of his mouth.

But almost as soon as she had done that, her normal instincts on social decorum came flooding back. She gasped softly and pulled her wrist back quickly. She held it to her stomach.

"Oh Dymetri... I... I am... please forgive me. That was so forward of me and highly inappropriate, even for us and our relationship."

Lin had her hair done in one of her favorite styles. The color was a dark brown and the front sections of her hair were pulled up and pinned to the back of her head. So when she looked down at her lap in embarrassment, some of the strands of her hair that were pulled back fell to hang in front of her face.

"The face?" He seemed to forget momentarily. "Ah yes, the form you were accustomed to was but an illusion. This is the true Alphonse. And to be perfectly honest, I did peg you as a bit of a slacker." He laughed a bit. Were it not for his voice it would be impossible to tell what mood this man was in; human eyes are far too accustomed to reading facial expressions, a terrible habit when one lacks a visible face. "So how have you been kid? As you can see some raunchy happenings have occurred in the last few years."

"Ahh dame it Danni!," Night moaned following Her with a graceful hove above the ground. "I think he's a show off. Besides how the hell dose one man even do that alone?" Night sighed weaving through the Nervous Kids Danni passed. "I think your freaking the fresh meat out," Night said glumly looking at the fearful kids.

Kai chuckled placing his hand against The wall of the School feeling coldness too the touch. "Such a horrible yet comforting past, no matter how many times it is rebuilt it will always hold this emotion." He took his hand away looking around. "Now ... Where's Ialo?" He closed his eyes as his mind swept the school grounds finding no trace of the dragon. He expanded his search for miles, Then a larger area finding him nowhere close. He muttered too himself deciding to Search Ialo's main building. His mind swept over the building like a hurricane over the land probing every nook and cranny of the establishment until There was a familiar if not faint sign of his friend. He opened his eyes, immediately sprouting his Light and dark wings, That had grown to an amazing length since he died, Taking off immediately. sweeping over the land at breakneck speeds.

A sharp intake of breath was heard from Dymetri.

Was she offering to him what he thought she was offering?

His lips were tight over his mouth. Unlike Lin, his 'warrior' self was kicking in. In reality, it was an animalistic state. He was fighting it though. Trying to.

If he were to even slightly lick her skin, he knew, especially in this state her wrist would cut open. He would have attempted at doing it, too, if she hadn't pulled down her arm.

"Lin, I haven't fed in a few days," he confessed. His voice was low and he was trying his best not to be so blunt. "I forgive you, but you must remember when I am in this state, I'm highly uncontrollable."

He sighed, his urge slowly fading. "When I'm acting as a predator, my saliva is almost like an acid. Not only can my teeth cut into flesh, but so can my tongue. I could have ripped into your skin right now. I could have killed you."

He ran a hand through his hair, sighing loudly. Why did it always end up as a lesson when he was with her? Well, might as well not find out the hard way.

Dymetri looked at Lin for a long moment before lifting her head up to face him. "Hey, it's all right, okay? Don't try and push things, love. Just take it all as it comes and we'll be fine."

He proceeded to hug her until he felt a strange sense of insecurity. They were about to be caught. "Uh oh," he said involuntarily.
