Phraktos watched her rather fondly as she continued her work, and finished a few seconds after him. She definitely was an intrigueing female..to say the least. He could no...no thinking about that now. Phraktos shook the thought out of his head as he stood up from the chair and stretched out to full length to get the stiffness out of his limbs.
"Oh well then I guess I should go then." he replied, sounding as disappointed as he felt in having to leave so soon. Perhaps..she would escort him to the front door and he would be able to kiss her goodnight. However..he wasn't about to broach the subject with her..he didn't want to seem too pushy or too eager.
He picked up his paper and waved it around in the air to aid in the drying process a bit more. Then he ran a fingernail across the edge of one letter on the bottom of the page. Thankfully the ink was dry enough that none came up.
"I'd like to meet up again before I go back to Gaullidurth..what day would be best for you?" He asked, pausing at the door of her apartment.

Izzayne was aware of the eyes on her as she worked and fought back the colour wanting to try and stand out on her dark cheeks. She looked up at him with a mellow expression and after testing to see if the page was dry, handing her copy of the recipe over. "Do this aswell for me?" She asked, standing. She felt a pang knowing that he was going, but still. This needed to be treaded on lightly.
"It is late..." She supplied, trying not to sound at all eager, but at the same time not bothered by it. A difficult mix, she barely passed for the second and the first wasn't there at all. She had no idea of his intention as she followed him across the room to the door. Maybe she would have stayed put. She wasn't sure on what she would have done because she wasn't aware she was supposed to be thinking about outcomes.
"I'm a little busy for the next couple of weeks. So after then?" It was a long time, she supposed. Maybe she'd miss him and crack with the need to see him. Maybe he'd miss her and crack with th need to see her. They'd meet again definitely though. it was an odd thing, this feeling. It had her second-guessing herself and filling it things automatically. Her hand rested on the wood of the door as she leaned against it slightly, her eyes on him still.

"Of course." He replied taking the paper from her and rolling it up to prevent wrinkles in the paper.
he regarded her closely, as she replied. There was something going on with her emotions..that much was apparent to him. He didn't argue or say anything for a few moments...he just stood there his head cocked to the side as he thought over her words.
"Alright..but when will you be wanting to retrieve your copy from me? Surely you're not going to wait for weeks to get it back are you?" Phraktos asked, a gleam of suspicion in his eyes.
"You're just trying to get rid of me." He teased, leaning towards her, with an accusatory glare. "well that's not going to happen..unless you give me a proper fare well."

Izzayne stood leaning against the door by now, her hand grasping the handle. He was looking thoughtful, might as well get comfy if he was going to take a while, she was in no hurry to kick him out. She was curious onto what he was thinking though. "I..hadn't given it much thought..as soon as I can, I suppose." She answered, looking confused at the suspicion in his eyes. She wasn't like that...well she was! But not to him so far!
"Eh..?" She was startled at his next words, so much so that her brain jolted to a halt for a few seconds as she registered what he said. Had he been the close before? She leaned back against the door, all of a sudden finding it to be too in the way. Stupid door. Her temperature rose with her embarrassment, her face clearly one of embarrassment.
"Well.." She swallowed, already knowing the answer to her question in her mind. "What sort of farewell...?" Like the children following the Pied Piper, Izzayne had fallen into Phraktos' teasing with ease.

"Well then." He replied, crossing his arms and leaning back against the door to prevent her from opening it and making him leave before he was good and ready.
"So..your business isn't so pressing then. I mean..you'd give up an hour or so just to retrieve a piece of paper from me. And yet you won't give up a few hours to spend with me? I'm hurt Izz. I thought you liked me more than that." He teased..seeing how well his teasing had worked for him before.
When she stepped into his trap, a feeling of triumph welled up inside of him.
"Do you need a demonstration? I can do that if you wish." He replied, his hands already moving slowly towards her until they were gently resting on either side of her face. Then he tilted her face up a little and leaned down closer, inches away from her luscious red lips and breathed.
"Surely you haven't forgotten our kiss already? Do you need a bit of reminding?" He teased gently..his fingers stroking her hair gently.

Izzayne stared at Phraktos, feeling five kinds of flustered as she stared at him. What was his deal? Was he being serious or playful? She stared at him, feeling the truth in his words. Ah. Yeaaah, she could see where that could go wrong. "Uh.." It took a few moments with her brain to catch up with her mouth so she could talk coherently. "Well...I do..it's just...uh.." Izzayne would have punched him for making her stumble like this if she wasn't afraid of damaging herself more. Punches never bore anything good when she threw them.
Demonstration? Her fingernails dug into the grain of the wooden door, gripping. She couldn't look anywhere else, she continued to stare at him, looking slightly more flustered by the minute. She froze when his hands cupped her face and allowed him to do so, her hands too preoccupied with keeping her on her feet by gripping the door. Brilliant. What did he do to her? " . . . " She shut her eyes when he leaned down, an automatic reflex.
"I.....yes?" Like hell was she going to initiate a kiss with him. She wasn't sure if she could move at the moment. Stupid Phraktos and being the only male interested in her ever. She was thoroughly unprepared mentally for these feelings.

Phraktos smiled at her encouragingly as she stumbled over her words..he didn't make any attempt to tease her over it. He could tell that he had hit the nail on the head with what he had said to her and she had found it rather unnerving. She looked half surprised, half furious with him as though she wanted to punch him in the stomach so he was surprised when she restrained herself.
She definitely was better mannered about the whole matter than he would have been..he had to give that to her. He watched the emotions spread over her face and how tightly she was holding onto the door handle. It was as though she were hanging on for dear life.
Phraktos felt ten times a jerk for messing around with Izzayne's feelings like this..but he didn't move his hands or pull back. He had gone this far..he might as well go all the way or she might get furious with him for playing her like this and not following through.
At her next words, Phraktos leaned in and lightly placed a kiss on her lips..just barely touching them. It felt almost like an air kiss. He pulled back and smiled at her roguishly and started to pull away.
"Good night Izzayne, sleep well." he told her softly.

Izzayne's hands moved when she found strength in her legs to stand without having to support herself. The clung to his shoulders, her eyes zeroed in on his. This whole thing was just...going to make her a blathering idiot. She still wasn't used to showing anything other then stoic or indifference to others. Letting Phraktos in was new. Her grip on his shoulders tightened reflexively.
She had been expecting something...more. Like the kiss back in the tavern. Her eyes opened when he pulled away and she stared at him, her breathing evening. That wasn't a kiss, not at all really. Her hands tightened on his shoulders and she drew her bottom lip into her mouth, looking thoughtful.
"Oaf." She murmured, colour rising in her cheeks as she tugged him back towards her, leaning up to press a fuller kiss to his lips. Oh, she was going to die of something once this was over. Kissing was new. She couldn't help it though. It was something she could do without feeling too swarmed by what was going on.

Phraktos took her weight easily on him easily enough..she was only a few pounds shy of 90ish..so she felt as light as a feather to him. He kept his eyes focused on her deep red ones, afraid that if he broke contact that she would withdraw and the moment would be lost.
He could tell that she was a bit disappointed when he withdrew, but if things were to go as he hoped..she would have to be the one to make the move not him. Even though his body and mind urged him to go in for another pass. It was the tightened hands on his shoulders and her biting her bottom lip that made him realize, much to his delight that she was going to fall for the carefully laid plan.
"Oaf." echoing through his ears, he lost himself in her embrace, his lips meeting hers in an endless kiss that threatened to drown his senses and all manner of gravity and physics.
It was as though all time had stopped and they were suspended in time and space and they were all that existed in that moment in time. He sighed, fully satisfied and satiated. Though he was rather reluctant to pull away and end the moment..he knew he had to leave or he would sully her reputation in the wrong way. He eased out of the lip lock, bending his head to breath in her scent to have something to remember the moment by. Then he kissed her a few times on her throat, and the side of her mouth before releasing her, and pulling her hands from his shoulders and keeping a hold of them in his own.
"Izz.."He murmured huskily, kissing her hands and then went on. "That was amazing. I wish I didn't have to go, but I have your reputation to think of." He made a sweeping bow to her, and pulled the door open and backed out of the room.
"Madam, sleep well! I shall wait with bated breath and laboring heart til I see your lovely face once more! " And before she could say anything or try to prevent him from leaving he turned and dashed off into the the early hours of the morning.
Once he was a good block or so away from her apartment building, he began to whistle happily as he jauntily strode through the grimy back streets. He felt like he was on top of the world, and that the whole world was in his back pocket! Nothing could get him down or put him in a bad mood..especially not after tonight! His chest thrummed with excitement and intense feelings so much that it felt as though it were going to explode at any moment.
Ah..life was good indeed! He finally had someone to love...and cherish. What else was life for than to love and care for someone as beautiful, intriguing and sassy as Izz? Truly...this was the best night...day of his life! He felt like screaming in triumph..but figured he'd probably get accosted by the peacefully sleeping drow in anger if he did. Instead he whistled..and whistled in merriment and joyousness.

Izzayne's decision had been made, due to her being indecisive and not one to think things through. The kiss was better then before, probably because she knew it was coming. It engulfed her a little and she was hard pressed to not pull away. It wasn't that she didn't want it. It was just the intensity. She stayed though until it broke.
She leaned against the door, her eyes slightly hazy in the aftermath of the kiss. She felt the extra kisses placed and smiled blearily at Phraktos. Damn head rushes. She stayed where she was, nodding when he spoke. He had to go home obviously. "I'll see you again." She murmured, not even bothering to get flustered over the implications of his words. She seemed to be getting used to it. She shook her head with a smile at his parting words.
Once he had left she locked the door and finally moved away from the wall she had been leaning against. What did he do to her? She wasn't supposed to be this into it. No, but she couldn't help it. She wandered into her bedroom and through herself on her bed, a smile on her face. Today had been an awesome day. Happiness secretly bubbled in her chest.
