 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ It was Asten's turn to blush again when he pulled her back onto relatively-shallower water and kissed her. It was different than how he'd kissed her before and she returned it carefully, not really used to this sort of affection from anyone. Especially from Gunji, who was so...energetic and bouncy. And a little rough, too, even though she knew he never meant it. He hadn't hurt her, though - she was a shifter and not nearly as fragile as she looked. They really were a good match in that respect, she mused.
Feeling Gunji trace his hands over her tattoos, she shivered a little. It felt...odd, him being so gentle and careful with her. Leaning into him, she gently traced over the one on his chest, wondering if it meant anything or if he'd just liked the design. Enjoying the peaceful moment while Gunji explored her tattoos, she made a mental note to ask him later when they got home and she could look at them all better. She liked them, knowing they had to have hurt, especially the ones on his neck and hands. Hers had hurt worst going over her shoulder blades, but it had been worth it.
Asten hopped after Gunji when he pulled them from the water suddenly, dropping onto his lap obligingly, having completely forgotten about sunscreen. "If you could, that would be great, please," she said agreeably. "I can put it on your back after if you need help with it," Asten offered with a smile.

Gunji smiled when she said she would like his help and nodded. He quirted some sun screen into his hands and rubbed it onto as much as Asten's skin as he needed to so that she wouldn't get burned. He took time to trace her tattoos again, completely fascinated by the detailed wings. They were so real down to every single feather and Gunji liked that a lot. He was happy to see Asten had some ink on her and simply loved her tattoo. If he hadn't loved Asten enough to begin with, Gunji loved her even more now that he had discovered the back wings on her back.
When he was done putting sunscreen on Asten and all of himself but his back, he moved a little so that Asten was off his lap, turning so his back was to her. "Do it for me too then," Gunji said, smiling happily. His hair was tied up so it wouldn't be in Asten's way when she put sunscreen on her.
Gunji waited patiently as she did what she had to as he reached over to their back of buckets and shovels. "Let's make a sand castle!" he suddenly exclaimed as he pulled buckets and little shovels out of the bag for himself and Asten. People glanced over at Gunji, a look of sympathy falling on their faces when they looked at Asten. They probably thought Gunji was "special" and Asten had to take care of him. Maybe their situation was a little like that but Gunji didn't seem to care. "Do you want to do that? It'll be fun~" he purred.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ The shifter relaxed as Gunji rubbed the sunscreen into her back. The motions were soothing and she let out a happy sigh, closing her eyes and feeling his fingers trace her wings. Most people were fascinated with them if they saw them. The detail had been excruciating to go through, the entire tattoo taking over a year to complete, but it was worth it. It made her feel a little better about being in her human form, still having them there, and if she was going to have a tattoo she'd insisted that it was going to be damn good. She'd have to get it touched up at some point, since it had been quite a while, but since it was all black at least it wouldn't fade as fast as color would.
Smiling when Gunji finished and turned around, she squirted out some sunscreen and began to run her small hands up and down his back as she rubbed it in. He was so happy it was infectious, even with the heat and sand everywhere. Asten didn't linger too long, moving away when she was done and rubbing her palms on her knees and down her legs for a moment to get the sunscreen off her hands.
"A sand castle sounds fun, you'll have to show me how to do it," she said cheerfully, ignoring the looks and focusing on Gunji entirely. She'd never really played at the beach before, the times she had come she'd simply stretched out under an umbrella and baked for a while, soaking up the heat and trying not to burn. She grinned at his tone of voice, folding her legs underneath her and watching him. "I'll do whatever you want to do, I told you. I'm happy right now," she added with a smile, glad she'd gotten lucky enough to have Gunji be the one to come across her and buy her.

Gunji smiled when Asten agreed to make the sand castle. "Come help me fill some buckets up with sand then. It needs to be a little bit wet so that the sand sticks together," he said as he grabbed the shovels and buckets, leading Asten to the water. He quickly filled the first bucket with sand, guessing that they could make the sand castle over by their spot on the beach. He seemed far too excited about making their sand castle than a full grown man should. Gunji didn't notice though and once they had their buckets of sand, he helped carry them back to their spot on the beach.
He had a bucket of water and poured it out to make a damp spot for their castle, patting down the wet sand. "Turn the bucket upside down and pat the bucket so that the sand comes out," he said as he did exactly that, pulling the bucket up to reveal the first tower for their castle. Turning around, Gunji smiled at Asten and moved so that she had room to sit with him. "Want to put a tower here?" he asked, patting a spot on the sand where he wanted her to put the sand. "And then we can find shells and decorate the castle," Gunji said, grinning at Asten happily. He really was having the time of his life here with Asten. Coming again wouldn't be a bad idea.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ Asten watched him obediantly, not surprised he knew how to make one, and the smile only widened as he kept up his antics. Rather than annoying, she found them endearing - if a bit exhausting. She was sure she'd learn to keep up in time, although he didn't really seem to expect her to do much other than just...exist. It was odd, as she'd been told a slave had to keep their masters entertained, do this, do that, earn their keep, all sorts of things. And really all Gunji seemed to need her to do was sit there and be happy. It was a bit of a shock still whenever the realization crossed her mind, like she was dreaming and had pinched herself to wake up. The last thing she'd ever want to do would be to leave, she knew that. She was lucky, in lots of ways, not just because she'd gotten a master like Gunji but because it was Gunji. Maybe this was karma's way of repaying her, she thought.
When he got up to get more water, Asten leaned back a bit and looked around curiously. She was comfortable enough to enjoy her old habit of people-watching and hummed softly to herself. The sound abruptly died in her throat, turning to a whimper instead as the color left her face. She had recognized someone, and it had not been a friend of hers. Rather, the young man ambling across the beach had been someone she'd known in high school that didn't know what 'no' meant and hadn't kept his hands to himself until she'd broken his fingers to get him away from her. It was the only time she'd used her superior strength as a shifter against anyone, at least until she'd been made a slave.
She turned, but her tattoos gave her away and she flinched when she heard his laugh. "Well, hasn't it been a long time, precious," he remarked in amusement, wandering over and dropping into a crouch next to her. His arm went to drape over her shoulders and she flinched, desperately wishing Gunji was back. "What, no hello for an old friend?" he asked, a bit mockingly.
"I'm here with someone, Rio," Asten told him through a set jaw. She realized he didn't know what had happened and that was the only relief she had - it hopefully meant that no one she had known had heard about what had happened to her.
He laughed and patted her shoulder, perhaps a little too hard. "So? I can't say hi?" the man returned with a grin, having the unmistakable air of a predator that made the bird in Asten cringe in fear.

Gunji played in the sand a little then ended back to get more sand and water as well as shells and rocks for the castle. He spend a little while collecting everything he needed and ignored the strange looks that fell on him. When he finished gating his things, he turned around and headed back towards the spot on the beach that Asten was waiting. Gunji stopped though. Who was that man sitting with his arm around Asten's shoulder. He looked the man over then looked at Asten, narrowing his eyes when he saw her look of discomfort.
Walking over, he put down the buckets and moved closer to the man. "No, you can't say hi!" Gunji said. He slapped the man's arm away from Asten and threw a hard punch directly at his face. Gunji narrowed his eyes at the man and walked over, pulling his head up by his hair and holding his face less than an inch away from the stranger's. "Who the hell are you?" Gunji hissed. "And why are you touching my Asten?" the blond boy growled. He glanced around and frowned when he realized he hadn't brought his claws.
"Oh well... I don't really care who you are. No one said you could touch Asten so go away. I don't want you here," Gunji said, getting bored. He simply pushed the man aside by his head and moved over to Asten, pulling her up so he could wrap his arms around her protectively. "Asten is mine. Don't touch her," Gunji said, glaring down at the stranger.
"Did he do anything to you?" Gunji asked. "I'm sorry I left you alone... I'll never leave you alone again, I'm so sorry," he added, seeming very apologetic. "If he was bothering you I'll beat him up even more. I didn't bring the claws though.. Sorry," Gunji murmured, brushing hair away from Asten's face. He glanced towards the man, waiting to see if he was going to go away and leave them alone now. "Does he know you?" Gunji asked. Concern was all over his face and anger flashed in his eyes. He was upset that while he was gone someone had touched Asten and pissed off that the man had enough guts to touch something that belonged to Gunji.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ Rio grunted when Gunji went after him, though he knew better than to put up a fight with the man. There was something dangerous about him that warned anyone with a sense of self-preservation to stay down when he put you there. It didn't keep him from seething in humiliation, however, as he got to his feet and made sure to stay out of arms' reach of the man. Although it didn't seem to matter, as he was already over with the shifter like he was going to protect her. What a joke. The guy probably didn't even realize he was with a freak who turned into an oversize goose. Shaking sand from his eyes, the young man glared over at her. "You've got some nerve, siccing your boyfriend on me," he snarled.
Asten just burrowed further into Gunji, feeling all right with him there holding her. "Thank you," she whispered into his chest, relieved that he hadn't gotten mad and thought she was up to something with the man. She wasn't sure what she would have done then, since it had certainly looked like there was something going on between the two of them for a moment and she knew it.
There was something off about the way the guy was so possessive and calling her 'his', but Rio couldn't quite put his finger on it. Instead he growled and stalked off with one last "b***h" muttered under his breath. He was amazed the girl had even showed up again, everyone had thought she was dead in some sordid affair with her manager or something like that. It had seemed the most plausible thing, after all. And here she was, playing on the beach with a lunatic. What the hell was he talking about, claws?
The shifter let out a sigh of relief when the man was gone and nodded a little, finally registering Gunji's question. "He's someone I used to know," she told him quietly, though it was obvious it wasn't a friend. She was surprised he had apologized, since he hadn't done anything in her eyes anyway.

Gunji sighed and pulled away from Asten. He wasn't in the mood to play on the beach anymore after meeting that weird person. In fact he was really tired from playing outside in the hot sun. "Let's go home for today. We can come back to the beach another day. I'm tired," Gunji said with a yawn. They had been at the beach longer than he thought. He packed up their things and once they were ready to go, he called the house to have someone pick then up. "Let's go home and take a nap. And then we can do something fun again," Gunji said, smiling at Asten.
He took her hand and their things and lead them towards the parking lot where the limo had already arrived. The driver got out of the car to help Gunji get his things back into the car. Getting inside the car, he looked to Asten and smiled. "Did you have fun? At least until... You know," Gunji still looked sorry about what happened. "Next time we should go to a different beach... A nicer one. Or I could even take you on a trip to a warmer place!" Gunji said, bouncing on his seat.
When they got home, Gunji went inside with Asten and yawned again. "Are you sleepy?" he asked, pulling his hair out of it's pony tail. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to shower quickly then nap. Come nap with me when you're ready" Gunji said. He went into his room and headed into the shower for a quick rinse and then changed into sweats. He towel dried his hair and then flopped down onto his bed, yawning.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ Asten felt guilty, like she'd been the one to ruin his fun, although she felt a little better when he yawned. He didn't seem the sort to pretend to be tired to spare her feelings and she had to assume he really was tired if he said he was. She returned his smile with a small one of her own, trying to help pack up their things and twining her fingers through his once she'd pulled the shirt back on over her to cover up a little. "I had a lot of fun," she promised, climbing inside the limo after him and moving so she was practically curled up on the seat. To her surprise, she was tired as well, the heat and excitement having worn her out. It was still a lot to get used to after four years of sitting in cages and she was a little annoyed she was tired so easily. At least Gunji wouldn't mind her napping a lot, she felt almost sure of it.
By the time they were home, she was yawning as well and nodded to his question. "I'll be there soon," the shifter told him, going into her own bathroom and stripping off the wet bathing suit with a grimace. She hated that feeling, it was another reason she preferred to just swim in the nude. That wasn't an option at the beach, though. Getting in under the spray, she scrubbed off the sand and salt with a face, glad the soaps and body washes all smelled so good.
Braiding her hair once she was out and dried off, Asten pulled on underwear and the shirt of Gunji's she'd worn the night before, yawning again. She padded into his room and climbed over him onto the bed, crawling under the covers. "It's nice and warm in here," Asten murmured happily, snuggling under the blankets and into the pillow before turning to look at Gunji expectantly, clearly waiting for him before she got comfortable.

Gunji smiled when Asten came to join him for his nap. "Even warmer now that you're here," Gunji purred. He snuggled closer to Asten and wrapped his arms around the girl to pull her close. "You look better in my shirt than I do," he giggled before yawning and closing his eyes. Gunji nuzzled the top of Asten's head and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before he settled down and fell asleep with a happy smile on his face.
Gunji woke up first from their nap and looked down at Asten. He smiled and let go of her before he crawled out of bed. Gunji stopped a staff member in the hall way and whispered in her ear. The woman gave Gunji an unsure look and the male just nodded and shooed her off before he headed down into the living room. Gunji moved furniture around so that the centre of the living room land lots of space and a few tall lamps and bookshelves. Closer to the edges of the room were the chairs and couches. Soon a bunch of staff arrived in the living room with blankets, bedsheets and pillows and flashlights, making Gunji grin and thank them before telling them they could go back to work.
He spent the next hour so giggling and tossing the blankets over the lamps and the book shelves he'd pulled into the centre of the living room to help hold the sheets up. He used couches as walls for pathways and anchored the corners of the blankets down with pillows so that they didn't sink down into the middle of the living room. When he was done, he tossed the remaining pillows into the giant fort. The edge of the giant fort was like a maze that lead to the centre of the fort where the "ceiling" was higher up. In the middle there was a bed made of pillows and a few blankets tossed on top. Gunji turned a few of the lamps in the centre on so that it was just dimly lit.
Gunji crawled out of the fort and found lots of colourful christmas lights. He used them to light up all the tunnels and made sure to cover the ceiling of the centre with them so that it was nice and colourful. Gunji had all the other lights inside and near the living room were turned off so that the fort seemed to glow.
Giggling to himself again, Gunji told a maid to have the kitchen staff prepare snacks and leave them outside the fort entrance. He went upstairs to his bedroom to see if Asten was awake yet.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ Once Gunji was in bed and settled, Asten curled up against him happily. There was a smile on her own lips as she fell asleep, feeling safe and wanted in the bed with him. He was erratic at best, but she knew he cared about her and would keep her safe. So there was no need to sleep lightly, to keep waking up and checking the room. Instead she just drifted off into a sound sleep.
Asten didn't stir when the young man got up and left her. She simply shifted to roll over into the space he'd left, looking for the body heat, and hugging his pillow to her instead. A few cats were draped on the mattress and over her while she slept. As no one woke her up and there was no reason to move, she didn't bother waking up and getting around like Gunji had. Instead she indulged her lazy side, simply settling in and being comfortable for a while longer.
When she did wake up, she yawned and stretched, sitting up and pushing off a few cats still on her. "Get off me," she muttered cheerfully, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and getting up. Figuring Gunji was up and about, or even gone to work, the shifter padded off to her room to shower and dress in actual clothing, pulling on a deep red dress that made her think of the color of a woodpecker's crest.
Hearing Gunji come up the stairs as she left her hair to dry down her back, Asten perked up and came out of the bathroom. "Morning!" she said cheerfully, even though it was far from morning. She jumped up to hug him, knowing she wouldn't knock him over. "What have you been up to?" she asked him happily.

Gunji grinned when he saw Asten awake and hugged Asten happily. "I'll show you," he said as simply lifted lasted and carried her bridal style down to the living room which was lit with tons of Christmas lights. Snacks had been placed outside the fortress and Gunji let Asten down gently, grinning the whole time. "I was making this!" he explained, practically hopping up and down. Gunji smiled and went towards the main entrance.
"Follow closely so you don't get lost," Gunji said. He grabbed the snacks and made sure Asten was behind him before he began to crawl into the fort, going through different twists and turns easily. He seemed to have the way though the maze memorized already. When they got to the middle, Gunji sat down on the bed of pillows and set the tray of different cheeses, dips, and crackers down. There were a few cats prowling around the fort already and Gunji simply brushed them aside if they tried to get to the food. "Do you like it? Tonight I don't need to work so we can sleep in here. I'll drag a smaller TV into here and we can have a movie marathon!"
Gunji seemed pretty excited about the idea. "Does it sound good?" he asked, grinning at Asten. Gunji picked up one of the cats and set it in his lap, letting the cat until it purred and snuggled against him. ”Next time you can help me build the fort if you want but this time I wanted it to be a surprised for you," Gunji explained, a big grin on his face. He set the cat aside and went over to pull Asten in his lap. Kissing her cheek, he smiled. "I want you to have lots of fun and smile a lot while you’re with me. We can do whatever you like."

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ Asten squeaked in surprised when Gunji just picked her up and began to carry her, her arms going around his neck reflexively. Her eyes widened when she saw the fort in the living room - she used to make them when she was little, but nothing like this. Certainly not so huge, for one thing! And all the lights appealed to her birdy sense of 'shiny'. She looked over at him as he hopped up and down, giggling a bit and getting down on her hands and knees to crawl in after him.
She hadn't done anything like this in years and was surprised at how complicated a simple fort could be when Gunji did it. Sitting down next to him, the shifter petted one of the cats and nodded eagerly when he asked if she liked it. Her expression brightened more when he said he didn't have to go to work tonight, since that just meant she got him all to herself. "Watching movies in here sounds fun!" she agreed, crossing her legs to sit on them as she looked around. The lights were her favorite thing about the fort, if he asked, all the colors making it look like something out of a fairy-tale.
As he pulled her into his lap, Asten obligingly curled up against him, the smile still on her face as he talked and kissed her cheek. She thought it was sweet that he said he wanted her to smile with him, although she doubted she would be able to do much more than that. "It was definitely a surprise, a nice one," she told him, before he could think she didn't like it. "And I don't care what we do, as long as I get to be with you. I'm happy here," Asten told him honestly, returning the kiss with one of her own to his cheek, snuggling up against him with a happy noise.

Gunji was glad that Asten liked the fort. He wrapped his arms around her as they sat in the giant fort and giggled softly when she said she liked his surprise and said she just wanted to be with him. The blonde man felt himself blushing at the kiss on his cheek. He sat there and enjoyed the feeling of Asten snuggled up against him for a while before he kissed her head and pulled away a bit. "I'm going to go get the TV and movies. I'll be right back," he said as he gently moved Asten off his lap.
He crawled out of the fort and headed off to grab one of the smaller televisions and DVD players from a guest room. He grabbed a bunch of movies as well and then returned to the living room. He got a cover for their snacks as well since he knew the cats would be getting into it. He had to weave and extension chord through the fort so that he could get the TV and DVD player set up but once it was all done he flopped down beside Asten onto the makeshift bed and showed her the stack of movies. He swatted some cats away from the food and slapped the cover over the food. "Pick something that sounds good to you," Gunji said, putting his head into the girl's lap. He didn't really care what they watched. As long as Asten liked it, Gunji was fine with whatever she chose.
He rolled onto his back and one of the closer cats crawled onto his chest and got comfortable as Gunji pet it. Another plopped itself down onto Gunji's face, making him sputter when fur got into his mouth then giggle at the cat as he pet it as well. The man was soon covered in cats who wanted attention and he groaned at the weight of the cats. "Pick anything yet?" he asked, moving a cat so that he could at least see Asten. He sat up suddenly, tossing cats all over the place. Despite that they all hurried back to the makeshift bed for some more cuddling. He ignored them for now and peeked over Asten's shoulder curiously, wrapping his arms around the girl's waist. Gunji nuzzled Asten's neck and kissed her cheek affectionately. He could care less about the movie really. He would have been satisfied with cuddling with Asten the whole time but didn't want her to be bored.

 ⋠ คsten ⋡ ╚══════════════╝ While Gunji went to go get the snacks, Asten occupied herself by playing with the cats and thinking over things. She was happy here, she knew, more happy than she had thought she could be with a master. Gunji certainly wasn't like any master she'd heard of or had thought she might end up with, that much was certain. How she got so lucky, the shifter wasn't quite sure, but wasn't about to go complaining to anyone. The entire estate was amazing, the staff were nice and didn't look down on her at all, and all the strays was fun, even if the cats did think she was a chew toy sometimes. And Gunji even let her fly, which was more amazing than anything she could have imagined, since she could so easily fly away. But then, where would she even go, she had to wonder. Maybe he just let her fly because he knew she had nowhere else?
...that didn't seem like Gunji at all, the swan decided with a shake of her head.
She looked up when he came back in with all the stuff, a bit surprised he was dragging it in and then wondering why she was surprised. When he told her to pick a movie, she nodded and obediently began to sort through the pile he'd brought. In truth, she'd be happy just cuddling, but having a movie on wouldn't bother her much either. After a few minutes she glanced over her shoulder to see Gunji covered in cats and giggled. "You look ridiculous," she told him with a laugh, even as he sat up and shook the cats off of him. They complained quite a bit before just going back to the blankets to curl up and sleep on while he cuddled her. She shifted so she was in his lap and showed him a comedy she'd found. Probably better than the horror one, at least she hoped so.
"Can we watch this?" Asten asked him, tipping her head back with a light blush on her cheeks. She was still getting used to the affection and intimacy, in all honesty, though she gave him a quick peck on the cheek to at least try and reciprocate. Being bored around Gunji would take some practice, she was certain of it, and didn't think it would ever actually be possible. There was always something happening, something going on, to keep her from sitting and staring at the ceiling. Besides, she'd been locked up for four years, everything was new and shiny to the shifter now. And now she had someone to share it all with, Asten though with a slight laugh.
