Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jack smirked at Remy's immediate reaction. Then, when the kiss came, Jack was much more enthusiastic to say the least. His left arm snaked it's way around Remy's lower back as his right hand once again found it's way to the back of Remy's neck. His tongue moved around playfully in Remy's mouth and he pressed his body against Remy's.

Jack was shocked, figuratively, and almost wanted to cry. What an upset. He let out a hefty sigh and released Remy. "Well...it was great while it lasted..." he said, licking his lips. It was sad not to be able to even kiss Remy like he wanted to. What kind of sick b*****d made that rule anyway? "I guess we'll just have to wait until I free you tonight to continue." he said with a bit of a grin. It was half forced, but the sheer anticipation of picking up where they left off made it easier.

Jack blushed wildly and looked around shyly. He had completely forgotten that there were people around. "Ehe...I think we should move too..." he said. He quickly turned and started to power-walk into the castle. He was really just trying to get away from everyone who had seen them. He was too shy to do something like that in front of others, and he was too embarrassed to stay after the performance.

Jack smiled, but kept walking. "I just don't usually show that I like men in front of other people." he said. "It's embarrassing. Don't you think so?" he asked. It really wasn't just embarrassing. It was that he was different from everyone else. He wanted to be like them. He wished he liked women, but he just didn't. And everyone looked at it funny, and said that it's sinful to like a person of the same gender. All of that combined is what made Jack not want to show his sexuality.

"Embarassing? Well, no. Not really," the djinn said, once more sounding as if he hadn't put much thought into the idea. Remy liked men and Remy liked women. In short, if it was good looking, Remy liked it. It wasn't that he was shallow or anything, basing everything solely on looks. He just.. appreciated beauty. The only thing to turn him away would be someone with a truly down-to-the-core rotten personality. It surprised him sometimes how many people like that existed in this world. With the short (short through his eyes) time they have to live, who had time to be mean when there was so much fun to be had?

"I guess I can blame that on my not caring what others think," he concluded. "But I guess I'll try to control myself when I'm out in public with you. I will limit myself to only a small amount of groping and quick make-outs as to not embarass you. Sound like a plan?"

If there had been even a hint of a smirk at Aurora's gender confusion, the sea prince would have picked up on it. Instead, this other prince seemed to show no regard for concealing his glee at the host royal's expense. Ryland's lips easily curved into a grin, pearly whites revealed and all. He really was liking this prince from Dsurion more by the second.

... But as easily as his smile had come, it vanished at the mention of the evening. Balthier more than likely thought he actually planned to attend the wedding. It wasn't as if Ryland had any desire to watch the flighty, vapid, annoying Aurora finally tie the knot with whoever he had looped into being his One and Only, but the sea prince also didn't have the option. Unless in those amazing plans for the festivities tonight, the King and Queen randomly thought a 200-gallon aquarium might be a nice touch to the decorations in the ballroom, Ryland wouldn't be anywhere near here. Well, perhaps not 200 gallons, but he didn't think it was very princely to be submerged in a bathtub in the middle of a reception room either.

"Well, perhaps I'm a bit of an extreme person?" he offered suggestively before explaining, "I'm not exactly attending the wedding. I'm.. I was just passing through town today and heard about the event. I can't stay this evening, but I wanted to come and offer my congratulations to Prince Aurora... and I'm guessing Sir Nicholas. I can't seem to find either of them though." Glancing at the other "prince" a little sheepishly, he admitted, "I'm actually pretty lost. This castle is really different from my home."

"One would think, but this particular one I haven't quite scoped out completely yet. I've been living here for only a day now," Remy said, rolling over in the air onto his back, hands behind his head. It looked as if he were floating away on a lazy river. "But so far hardly anyone is taking the time to have any fun with me. Everyone being so busy with Aurora's wedding plans and all. It's all going to be a waste, though. There's no way he'll go through with getting married, even if it is supposed to be with that Nic person.. But either way, the party should be great!"

That smile offered to the sea prince resulted in Ryland staring unconsciously long at the other's lips. He snapped himself back into focus a few moments later, trying to recover from an act which might have seemed impolite while piecing together Algernon's sentence and filling in the fragments he missed from zoning out.

"Mhm, that sounds like an excellent plan," he agreed, returning his fingers to the edge of the doorway and taking a step back from the raven-haired "prince." A chuckle left him at the mention of drinks and a prolonged stay. "A drink or two, you say? My, you must be pretty confident in your persuasive tactics. You don't know anything about me... who's to say I don't turn into an hideous ogre at night? See, then you'd be keen on letting me leave in peace... or with a couple pitchforks in my back. I'm not sure." Ryland replied in a playful tone, adding a shrug at the end for emphasis.

[[Ogre at night... pahaha. sorry. Shrek reference. lolol]]
