"I like you, chere..." He smiled and turned his head, kissing her ear softly. "But I wouldn't mind seeing what else you are thinking of wearing." She could see the wink if she was still looking in the mirror. His arms around her squeezed for a moment longer before sliding back, his hands pushing in the material of the dress against her skin before sliding away.

Owle laughed. "If you'd like."
She managed to pull the zipper of the dress down on her own, and pulled one arm out of a sleeve before turning to look at Rafe.
"I suppose it's no use asking you to turn around?"
The tone of her voice was teasing.

He feigned a look of hurt, much like the one he had done with Flare, even as he staggered back. "Chere, would you deny a man about to go blind, the chance to see true beauty for one last time?"

Owle chuckled. "Alright, alright...it's not like its anything you haven't seen before, anyway."
But, as she let the dress slide off her, it was. Instead of the plain cotton skivvies she'd been wearing before, a somewhat fancier pair adorned her...she'd picked the lacy thing up a long time ago, because it was on sale and caught her eye.

He looked and smiled and plucked at the waistband, almost curiously watching it snap back to her skin. "Neat trick, chere." He then laughed like a schoolboy fascinated with something. But the look he gave her when he looked up at her was anything but innocent, it was downright devilish.
"Easy in, easy out?"

"Eep!" Owle exclaimed, jumping in exaggerated shock as the waistband slapped against her.
"Now, now, I thought you wanted to see the rest of what I'd picked out on me..."
And she reached for the skirt that had first caught her eye in the window.

He grinned and leaned over again, kissing her cheek before he leaned back against the wall, still looking her over. "Your wish is my pleasure, chere."

She smiled, giving him a quick peck on the cheek in return before returning to her dressing.
"I was afraid you weren't going to be here at all, during these days..." Owle said as she absently pulled on the skirt, then began rifling through her selections for the cute shirt that had matched it.

He smiled and placed his hand on the spot on his cheek that she had kissed as if to treasure it. "I had thought not as well." He smiled as he watched her scurry about. "Most of the players have behaved themselves it seems..." He looked outside.
"Rather odd, that..."

"Well, Flare's already burned something down," Owle said from somewhere within the cute shirt. She sounded more than a little annoyed at her older/younger sister. Her arms poked out of it a moment later, followed quickly by her head. "But since when has random destruction ever been against the rules?"

"Random destruction is not..." He turned back and smiled at her. "but..." He looked her over, even going so far as to wander around her, inspecting as he thought.
"It's too quiet.." he smiled and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "And you are too beautiful."

She smiled back at him, following him with her eyes as much as she could without turning her body.
"You shouldn't flatter me so much..." Owle said, embracing him in return. She stared up into his golden eyes. "I could get used to it."

"Getting used to the truth is a problem?" He looked guinuinely puzzled at her expression but smiled back at her. He slid his hands back and rubbed at her shoulders for a few moments.
"Stolen moments..."
He leaned down and for a few moments, Owle's vision would get fuzzy as he lifted back up, holding a poppy flower out to her, he looked like Rafe...kinda...more like felt like him...but he was in the clothing like her dream...
"Goddess Isoho?" He was holding a basket of clothing as well as the poppy. "I brought you a change of clothing..." The man looked younger somehow but still the same. If Owle would look at herself, she would see herself drenched in blood. Her own grecian gown soaked to the skin in blood.

Owle only chuckled at that. She had little more to say. And then...then everything was getting much too fuzzy...what was happening?
"Rafe?" she called out, suddenly afraid.
Oh, good, he was still there. Different now, but he was still there. Trying to calm her racing heart, she accepted the poppy flower from him. What...why was he calling her that? And what...clothing? What would she need a change of...?
And then she noticed the blood. "Oh, gods..." The familiar swear was off her lips before she'd truly comprehended what was going on. She began stripping the gown off, fumbling with the unfamiliar clasps that held it on her...
Whose blood was it? Not hers, she was uninjured...what had happened? Oh, gods, what had happened? Where was she? This wasn't the dressing room any more...
"Rafe, what's going on?"

As just soon as it started. It stopped. Leaving Owle standing in only her underwear in the dressing room, her shoulders being held by Rafe as he gently shook her. "Owle....Chere....Little bird..." He then grabbed her head in his hands and forced her to look into his eyes, as he held his own face only an inch from her.
"Stay with me..."
