Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo looked down, "justin is a good boy. he is very kind, and he does what he can to make people around him happy." he looked at the master, "he didn't exactly meet you under the best of cercomstances, master. he had been tripped naked in front of three people he couldn't even dare to disobey and then nearly forced into women's clothing. you may not know how it feels to be treated as such, but please believe me that his reaction was nothing if not warrented." he spoke with a little force, defending the boy, but he took in a slow breath to calm himself. "forgive me, i did not mean to speak so."

Nix was thinking about the shoes still, but she didn't miss what Leo said. she was careful to stay out of his mind, though. she didn't want to see what made him speak like that. "you don't like your height, do you?" she asked Elliot out of the blue. "there is a way to make you taller, you know."

Nix grinned, "just eat the fruit of the evergrow trees. they don't give their fruit to just anyone though. they are harvested by the giants in the north, see, but they would give me one if i asked. they like me. think i'm cute, like a little doll." she winked before finishing her meal. "if you change your mind just ask."

Leo still felt like he'd stepped out of line speaking to the master in that way, but the man really seemed to be ok with it. "if we are finished, i think it is about time for the meeting. we will be holding it in the same place where we ate before so everyone can attend. but after that several representitives will be returning to their people for a time so we will-" he paused, "we will have to talk about whether Nix can come with us or not."

Leo stood when the master said his body heat was too high, "then you should change." he grabbed the man's arm and looked over to Nix, "Will you tell them i might be a second? i need to convince the master to wear something he wont overheat in."

Nix nodded, "There are clothes in your room. they had to guess, but they are close to both of your sizes." she took the dishes to the sink and went to dress as well, "try to hurry though, ok? they wont want to start until you are there."

Leo smiled and nodded, "Thanks." he drug the master up to his room and easily found the piles of clothing. he took out the shorter set and held the out to the master, "here, change. you wont do anyone any good if you over heat."

Leo lifted an eyebrow and put his hands on his hips, standing to his full height. "Forgive me, master but i must point out that i am bigger and a bit stronger than you. if i say that you should change, you should change." he smirked before moving closer to the man, "but my strength is not the only means i have of getting you undressed." he untied the cord at his middle that was keeping his loose underdress closed and let it fall to the ground. his dress opened just enough to give teasing glimpses before he moved to rub his hands up the master's chest, to his hair, and kiss him deeply.

while the master was distracted he slide his hands down and started to open the man's shirt, his hands exploring every inch of newly exposed skin, teasing the man in the places he knew he loved.

Leo was determined. he didn't let the master push his hands away, instead it only made him more forceful. the other's shirt was completely open now and leo pulled it down off his shoulders so it would tangle up with his arms.that gave him enough time to open the man's pants and slide them to the ground. "i wont let you say no-" he followed the pants down and knelt , nuzzling his way down the master's stomach. "You know you want to. Nix is already heading down." he wouldn't let the man use her as an excuse." his hands tugged on the master's shirt and pulled it the rest of the way off. "i wont stop, not until you put on the clothes my people so kindly prepared for you."

Leo frowned and in one swift movement he was sitting across the master's hips, his backside pressed to the other's front. "fine, you don't want to play then we wont play." he leaned down and kissed the master before standing up and gathering the man's only set of clothing. he moved to a window and without second thought, threw them out. "see? i'm not playing anymore. wear the outfit or go naked. your choice." he crossed his arms, "but remember this before you protest. my people were trying to be kind and considerate when they brought that set of clothing up for you. what kind of prince would you be if you ignore their efforts? did you once think of how they will feel if you ignore their feelings and then end up passing out from the heat just because of your stubborness?" he shook his head before gathering up his belt and starting to dress himself. he was putting on his dress when his hands still and he swallowed. if the prince was going to wear the outfit of his people then he should too, right? Leo glanced at the master before grabbing the clothes and moveing to the bathroom.

with shaking hands leo started to change. the pants were loose and had a draw string so he could get them tight enough to stay on. they were tight, clinging to his long legs and hips, esantuating the curves. the shirt had criss crossing ties on the side that could be tightened or loosened and he pulled it on, tightening them with ease. they were short sleeved, and wearing it made him look like the native he was. Leo felt positively ill wearing them and yet right at the same time. he was breathing hard, and far too much cold sweat covered his body for what little heat there was. "i can't" he whispered, shaking his head and ripping off the pants throwing them to the side.

he'd tried, he'd really and truely tried, but he was too weak. he fell to his knees and worked on slowing his breathing to a normal level. when he was back in control of himself he stood and was going to go back to the bedroom when a long thin skirt was pushed under the bathroom door. Nix. she hadn't left after all. or had come back. he felt faint with releif and slid the skirt into place. it was just wide enough for him to take a full step and made of the same floral scented material as the shirt.

he nodded and head out, going back to the bedroom and lifting an eyebrow at the master, "you are the one holding us up now."

Leo was still a little pale and shaken, but he smiled at the master and moved to kiss him, "you look good in those. and i am sorry too, i shouldn't have through your things out the window."

Nix giggled, "We'll get them back for you, Elliot. everyone is waiting, but they are eating so i came up to see how you were doing." she was glad she had too. Leo hadn't been in any shape to face his mate before she gave him the skirt.

Leo kissed her cheek, "Thank you, dear. we'll go down now." his own clothes were green with a golden and red weave that rippled like water around his waist and they matted Elliot's which made his smile widen. he took the prince's hand before heading outside with Nix leading the way. "don't worry about having to say anything, master. they might ask you a few questions about her safety, but nothing more."

Leo looked down at the mention of Tsume, "i do not know if Ipo is with him, but he's down waiting for us." he could still feel the rage coiling within his familiar and he knew it was his fault. he'd never wanted Tsume to find out. they reached the bottom and Tsume stepped out from the shadows, but he was silent as he turned and lead the way to where the people had gathered.

Leo sighed softly before following after. "it'll be ok." he promised more himself than anyone else
