Her hands loosened their grip on his shirt as his answered, finding their way back to his chest. His answer was more than enough, she understood it's meaning all too well. Tilly could feel his heart beating in his chest, hear it fill her ears.
Is it nice.. He asked. The small muse moved a bit.
"Yes..." A faint giggle. "I really like it.."
In that moment, a thought crossed her mind. It was something she had wanted for a long time, but was never given. Brushing her lips over his chest, she moved slowly to look up. And when her opal eyes met those bright green iris' of his, she smiled very shyly, her blush seeming to deepen. Confidence swelled in her chest, her hands moving to his shoulders, fidgeting before gripping his tan skin.
"Damion? Will.. Would you.. Would you kiss me, please...?"

HonoRaven Tomorrow "Hey." John said, looking her in the eye. "What do I have to worry about? Whats the potentials for this to all go pear-shaped? Do you think that lump of s**t in my head is what caused me to 'flame out', or could there be another explenation?" " There could always be another explanation, my counterpart is the one who makes the tough diagnosis... but I really think it is plausible." She took the water jug away from him and quickly filled it up again to return it o him. " When we were in the bar, I tried to heal you! I am a very good healer, capable of things your friend Hono'o can not manage due to a simple lack of power.... Now, when I tried to heal you, your power tried to kill me... In most beings clean healing power does not trigger any internal defense powers or spells... it is why sleep spells are still so effective even against enemy mages! At any rate, if 'Andi had not been there your power would have killed me, and likely everyone else in that building.. and you were working up to that before we stepped in to help!" She looked over her notes again in the file, frowning at how small they really were. He sighed irritably, looking down at his left shoulder and the metal plate embedded on it. "Everywhere I go, that day comes back to bite me in the a**...""Are there tests we can do?"

Her response thrilled him, a tingling wave of pleasure running down his spine and across his skin where she touched. Damion found he enjoyed that, the feeling of her skin on his was pleasant in ways he had thought could be matched only in a fight. And then she was moving slightly against him and he was forced to lift his head away from her as she looked up at him. A doglike expression of confusion passed his face, a slight tilt of the head, a quirking of the lips and eyebrows, until she was talking again and making her request. Almost without preamble and without much thought behind it he leaned close to her and found her lips without pause or reangling. His touch was gentle, his lips to hers almost like the ghost of a touch, and then he applied alittle more pressure to let her feel it.
No jolt of electricity burst through his body, no fireworks went off in the sky for him, but Damion found he enjoyed her kiss. Faintly he could taste and smell the sweet smell of candy on her breath and on her lips from where she had been eating it before and he wanted to taste more of it. His tongue remaind firmly behind his own lips however and the taste was simply secondary to the natural smell and taste of her. Briefly he wondered how she felt about it until he broke the kiss at what felt like a premature time, lifting his head just alittle bit, enough to speak softly.
" Like that?"
Even his voice sounded breathy, as if the act of speaking and breathing were one and he looked into her eyes with naked curiousity, waiting and hoping for a favorable response. There was no crowd to cheer and let him know he was doing a good job and only sounds and feelings to tell him the same. His goal hadn't been to break anything or make her bleed and that made it all the harder.

Tomorrow "...I...I'd had a difficult conversation with a man I consider my brother...there were things revealed to me that i didn't understand, I... I have been through some difficult things the past few years..."He sighed irritably, looking down at his left shoulder and the metal plate embedded on it. "Everywhere I go, that day comes back to bite me in the a**...""Are there tests we can do?" " Yes, but most of them would have to involve 'Andi... her ability is similar enough to yours that it would be very hard for you to hurt her even under the most stressful of conditions... and that is the best sort of test that comes to mind!" Her gray-green eyes were very earnest as she looked into his blue eyes. " Stress tests would allow you to see your own ability to cope with every day stressors, as well as the uncommon ones like you mentioned happening in the bar... and she is very good at stressing people out, as I know first hand." sweatdrop

A gentle hum escaped her as he kissed her, her instinct telling her to move her arms about his neck, her hands tangling loosely with each other. it gave her a little leverage to help raised herself up a bit, move properly into his lap. Heaven knew she was small enough. It was all just as she imagined a kiss to be, and even better than that. Damion's nature made her want a little more, but his gentleness sated her.
When he pulled away, her soft eyes opened halfway before looking up to him. Tilly nodded her head a little.
"Yeah..." Closing her eyes once more, she smoothed her lips over his, whispering. "Just like that..."
What she did next was a big step up in confidence for the little muse. Pulling her body to his, she pressed herself to him, the bare skin of her soft belly sliding against whatever skin he had exposed. Moving in, she hesitated before locking her lips to his.

There was no resistance, no recoil in his body, just a slow enclosure as they pressed back into one another, his hands sliding to press against her lower back and hold her against him. His stomach and hers pressed against one another and he delighted at the feeling of her bare skin, holding her in his lap and pressing abit more against her as his own boldness returned. This felt good and right and he wanted it to last. An entirely different thrill from the kind he got from a fight, where the adrenaline amped up his senses to painful degrees, this eased him into that state in a gentle way. Damion became aware of the way she felt against him, the way her armor pressed against his chest and the way his clothes rubbed between their skin.
As with his blood lust he lost himself in the swirl of feelings and senses and drunk it all in like a fine wine. His left hand lifted from her lower back alittle and instead pressed against the middle of her back, fingers curling to press fingertips into flesh. Every time he breathed in through his nose her smell, clean and sweet, came in with it. His heart thumped painfully strong in his chest and felt constricted there behind his ribs until he pulled his head back alittle to look down at her again with wide eyes.
She wasn't the only one discovering things today it seemed and while he didn't blush it was clear Damion was enjoying himself and her.

When they pulled away from each other, Tilly smiled kindly, her eyes flickering about his face, taking him in before settling her gaze back into his eyes. There were no words for a while, a long, pregnant pause full of emotion. But Tilly had no trouble figuring it out. It was a familiar feeling, this.
Skimming her fingers over his cheek and lower lip, the muse looked down shyly.
"Beautiful.. isn't it."
Her eyes went back to his, searching for what to say next. while she recognized her feelings, she couldn't quite put them into words, give them meaning in a proper sentence. The muse had an aura of longing to her, as if it might have been there for quite some time.
"I.." Tilly stopped her lips from quivering, her hand cupping his cheek as her fingers flowed down his neck. "..Thank you..."

He pressed into her hand gently, turning his head enough to kiss her palm and still see her face, her eyes. It was all commited to memory but he still did not want to stop looking, felt the need to see it all. He could only nod when she called it beautiful and felt no need to correct or change her statement. It was beautiful, beautiful in the way that waterfalls were beautiful, or mountains with the sun hitting them just right. This moment was beautiful and despite that he could feel its encroaching death approaching and found himself wanting to fight it.
" Don't."
He shook his head and frowned slightly as she thanked him.
" Don't thank me. Don't make it seem like it was a favor, or something I wouldn't have done otherwise."
Thank you's made things cheap, made them less than what they were. They were the verbal equivalent of buying something and he felt no need to make their kiss seem like a service. Damion had wanted to do it and was glad for it and glad for the chance to do so.
" If you really want to thank me...come up with something better than words."
He smiled alittle at that and leaned his forhead in to rest it against hers the way he had seen people do before. His left hand traced small designs on her back where it rested, the idle nature of the moment given voice through his hands. He had no worries or cares to ruin it now and the entire world seemed distant to his mind.

"Is one of her powers the ability to rub people the wrong way?"He ran his fingers through his hair in irritation and frustration before taking up the jug again, drinking the contents a little deeper then before. He placed the jug down and lifted his hand, watching as a little static arced between his fingers. The heart monitor connected to his chest buzzed for a second, the read-out blinking out before coming back on again, his heart beating a little harder then before. "Test me. Do it. I dont care anymore." He muttered, dropping his hand onto his blanket. "...Whats on the menu? I'm going to need a lot of food, i eat more then most."

"Turkey, soup, and jello..." She looked him up and down. "Triple portions, and I will get a menu card for you to fill out for dinner and the rest of the week. We have a fairly good menu, although we are very strict about fat, salt, sugar, and acids... that is why most people think hospital food is horrible. It tends to lack the " sweatdrop She took the jug and refilled it once more, frowning at how much water he was drinking as she thought about his unusual blood characteristics from his earlier tests.
"I will schedule the first test for after lunch, until then I would appreciate it if you would try not to electrocute anything, or any one.. if you can help it! Do you think you need to have your power drained again?" Grace didn't want him to have to put up with 'Andi again too soon, but she worried over her nurses.. and her hospital xp

"Yes ma'am." John said with a nod, his face sour. He didn't expect it to happen so soon, but...no pain no gain.
"Dr. Sarona...thank you for your troubles." He said. "...And the troubles to come. I'm not sure what might happen if you push me...too far. I'll try to restrain myself."

As their foreheads touched, Tilly shook her head very slightly, her eyes opened with determination.
"N-no, Damion you don't understand.. I thanked you because you make me want to fight for myself.. Like I.. Have a reason to now.." She paused and sighed very softly, her tiredness began to show. "Remember.. How I said that if I feel a certain way, and if my Master were to find out? I.."
She began to shake a bit, fearing that somehow he was going to go away, or leave her behind. Tilly wrapped her arms around his middle, hugging him tight to herself. She was so afraid to let go.
"I don't have much time left until she comes to claim me.. But I don't want to leave." Clenching her eyes shut, she nuzzled into him, remembering all that was said between her and Vargus. Her next words were strong, but soft. "Damion, I don't have to go.. I'm just so tired of being scared for my life.."

" So they are coming to find you?"
This now was less a question and more a statement, Damion's mind already working. He didn't want her to leave either now that he had her and that she was feeling more empowered. He would miss her greatly, everything about her would be gone and this warm feeling would be lost. With as close as she was she would easily feel the tension that began to build up across his body even as he wrapped his arms around her protectively.
" Then they can deal with me and I can take their true measure."
He sounded so confident. So sure that no matter the strength of Vargus he would be able to take them on. And in his head this was simply the truth, that he would tear them apart if they tried seperating her from him now. It would be safe to say that few people got so attached so fast or that few people were so very defensive when it came to their friends and whatever Damion and Tilly had become.
" So do not worry, ok?"
Now he smiled and replaced the serious face with a happy one, confident and assured and hoping that it would bleed off on her. This would allow him to focus on the other issue of her tiredness and either ask about it or fix it in some fashion he had yet to determine. One problem at a time here in the light of a dying sun. That broke through his focus, head turning to face the bay again and few the sun sinking onto the horizon, 3/4ths of that blazing ball of light still visible above the water line and the tempature dropping with it.

Tilly managed to nod her head, though, her mind was still in other places. However, she still hung on tight to him, easily dwarfed due to her small stature. Damion puzzled her, the fact that he'd want to keep her safe, keep her close. But she really liked it, and not only because it was affection. She genuinely liked Damion more so than she thought she could like someone the day they had met. Turning her head, Tilly watched the sun fall, she smiled.
"I always loved the sunsets here in Latent."
She hoped this wouldn't be her last one she had gotten to see. But if it was-- Tilly looked up to Damion with a sweet, sad smile-- she would be okay with it. Giving a shiver, the small muse clung a bit more to him, hoping to gain a little warmth. She wasn't wearing much, after all.
"Doohh it's getting so cold..."

" You should see the sunsets back on my home island. Nothing but sea infront of you, and the sun sets it all a bright red. Like the water itself is on fire."
He had always enjoyed that particular fact about the island and it was something his new home lacked. There was no sun to speak of really, and only the oppressive cloud cover to act as any judge of season or time. When she shivered in his arms they tightened somewhat and his attention was once again directed to her.
" Are you staying some place?"
He didn't want her to go yet, didn't want to let her go, and it was obviously harder to protect someone if you weren't there with them. Damion had no intention of letting this Vargus person come snatch her away in the night while his back was turned. That was just underhanded. He would have to go and collect his things from his campsite but that wouldn't take longer than 2 hours tops at a full run and he would be back in time to ensure her safety by then.
" Not with Ryugi I hope?"
That would just be awkward for everyone. Not that Ryugi wasn't one of his best friends, it was just that this had become a rather more complicated situation.
