Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bisera's eyes blinked slowly before he continued into the deeper water, sinking into it, and leaned back so that he could soak down his long hair. As he did so the zanteer along with Fractis went passed him and he found himself sitting up a bit taller to watch the pair. It really was cute, wasn't it? That Fractis found someone of the beast variety to hang out with. It meant that he was growing up though which was a little bit sad if you asked him... but at the same time it was likely good for him.

Turning to look over Xarnith he said, "So long as he is having fun... and is being careful." He looked back at the kitten again for a moment. After making sure that he was alright with his new friend Bisera took in a breath and went under the water, swimming along the bottom toward Xarn's legs, giving them both a little poke as he went by.

As he came up out of the water Bisera gave a little chuckle, amused that he'd been able to poke Xarnith in the leg in such a manner without retaliation. Standing up right he shook herself off before gazing up at him. He found himself debating over something for a moment as he starred up at his friend, a friend that could be more, before he lifted up his hands toward him. He felt that this was important, that it was sort of... turning point. He he took a step forward it could lead to something amazing! It was like when he'd first left Sauti and stepped into the world, it was terrifying but exhilarating.

After a moment of hold his hands hovering in front of his friend he took a deep breath, reached up to catch hold of two handfuls of flaxen hair, and pulled him down for a kiss. It was time for him to get this figured out, something that would be done if someone took that first step forward. Xarnith seemed to be hesitant so he supposed he could do it.

Bisera's cheeks started to burn when the kiss shared with Xarnith was broken and he found himself starring up at the bigger warrior, "I... ahh... yes, I felt that it was just... time." He murmured, not liking that the two of them had been dancing around one another for so long because of so much uncertainty. He wanted to be closer to Xarnith, wanted to be friends with him, and... more. It was something that made his blush just seem to spread, cover his neck and the tips of his ears.

"Ahh... yes, of course it's okay. I wouldn't have kissed you if it wasn't." He said, then his eyes went wide, "It's... okay with you too, right? I mean... I wasn't overstepping my bounds, was I?"

Giving a nod of his head he stepped in closer to him, leaning into him, eyes closing as he rested his forehead against Xarnith's broad chest. Once he did that he murmured in an embarrassed tone of voice, "It's a pleasant thing being this close and... I feel like it's alright, that it's my choice and not just me being confused. You know?"

Bisera looked up at Xarnith again, a look of relief on his face, "Good... I'd rather not find out that things had changed since back when you said that you liked me." He murmured, knowing that he'd taken a lot of time to come around to where it all made sense to him. He wanted to make sure of things before he said anything, he didn't want to hurt him, so he wanted to be careful.

"I... thank you, I know that you can. I mean you did wait this long for me to really get a handle on my feelings. I never wanted to hurt you, I just wanted to... figure it out. To make sure what I was thinking and feeling wasn't colored by what you were thinking and feeling, I wanted my feelings for you to be genuine." He murmured as he looked up at Xarnith, watching him closely, before he drew back a little. Now that he was this close to him, now that he was holding onto him, he found himself worrying. Was he alright?

Giving a soft humming sound he asked, "Are you alright? What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" His past? That seemed rather foreboding, didn't it? Something that left him a bit worried as he was lead along to sit on an underwater ledge that Xarnith found for them. He settled down there, looking up at Xarnith, while toying with a wet lock of his own hair.

He listened intently at what he was told and found himself going a little wide eyed. The group was described as one that made him a bit shocked. He wouldn't have expected that someone like Xarnith could come from a group like that. What worried him more was the one that he mentioned, the warrior that Xarnith might have ended up with. A thought that he didn't like the idea of. If Xarnith had been with that man then the two of them would never have met. Where might Bisera be then? Possibly alone? Traveling still? Would he have ended up just going back home? It was hard to say really since so much if his life for a while now had been him with Xarnith.

Reaching out he took one of Xarnith's hands in his, giving it a squeeze, before he said, "I... we will just keep you away from him, so he doesn't think to take you away with him." As though someone of Bisera's build could actually keep a warrior at bay.

Bisera glanced up at Xarnith before leaning back against his chest, eyes sinking half shut as he sat there on his friend's lap. No... not friend, more then that, what was he now? He found himself looking at Xarnith he found himself asking of him, "Ahhh... what are we now? We're still friends, right? But... something more as well?" He didn't think they were 'lovers' because that involved a lot more then just snuggling. Was it a right to call Xarnith his boyfriend even though Xarnith hadn't exactly asked him out.

"Huh? Oh! No, don't be sorry. It's all really nice. I'm just still figuring things out since I am not exactly good with things that involve people. You're the one that has put up with me the best and for the longest after all." He didn't think anyone else at the fortitude and stamina that he did.

Bisera starred up at him, waiting as Xarnith seemed to be trying to figure out the same word puzzle that Bisera had been stuck on. What were they? It was difficult to figure out since they were just starting forward, right? That made it a bit on the difficult side in his mind but after a time it seemed that Xarnith had it figured out. He gave a slow nod of his head as he said, "Alright, I like the sounds of that." So they were boyfriends... and this was a date? One that Xarnith didn't want to call a date because it started out in the manner that it had.

Giving a nod of his head he relaxed against his friend, no boyfriend, and gave a smile, "I like the sounds of that... so... sure! We can be that. I just feel that I should apolgize for taking so long so... sorry."

After giving Fractis a glance he looked up at Xarnith for a long moment, then lifted a hand to tug on a big of his hair and asked of him in a mock serious voice, "Shouldn't you be calling me cute in this moment, Xarnith?"
