Welcome to Gaia! ::

She spoke after what seemed like an eternity and Surtr turned to glance at her. He could see that Saga had burnt her top and he sighed. Though it was a sigh of relief, he was just glad she hadn't been hurt. He moved so he was in front of her now as she turned to leave. He would slip from the cloak her wore and drape it over Kami using it so she wouldn't have to cover herself with her hands. The cloak would be warm and smell of Surtr something he surmised she'd enjoy greatly.

The little light in Surtrs hand would be watching her intently now as if wary of this ones presence. "It's fine.... I just didn't want her to hurt you." Surtr said calling the little ball of fire a heart. It was certainly brighter now no longer dull and dwindling. Kami's mission had been complete but it appeared it came at a cost. Though in honesty quite a minor one. "You are ok right? Just your clothes burnt up?" Surtr inquired looking her up and down as if to answer his own inquiry. He needed to make sure she wasn't hurt. He had been careless and in a moment of weakness he had let something slip.

Surtr chuckled as he gently placed his lips upon her forehead. "Saga knows you didn't mean to.... It can't help it. It is designed to protect itself..." He said softly as his left hand gently caressed her cheek. "This little light can't go out unless I die..." Surtr said softly looking to her now. "It dims and grows with my mood which is why it looked soo so pitiful earlier." He said with a half hearted chuckle. It was obvious he was trying to make light of his mood, something he wasn't very good at doing apparently.

"I apologize for putting you in that position." Surtr said with a long sigh once again sitting down slumping down against a tree. Tonight had not been a good day, something Surtr was hoping would have gotten better and it seemed he was destined to remain in this day prolonging his anguish as long as possible.

As she claimed to know what Saga was and asked him why he would do something like that he chuckled softly. "A great many reasons. It is up to you which you'd like to hear..." Surtr said looking to her now as she sat in his lap. His left arm would fall to the ground its hand holding Saga while his right would wrap around her lower waist. He was obviously a bit down, a melancholy air about the man it being obvious he was not pleased.

His eyes were dim not their normal luminescent appearance, their conversation had became so serious and once they left here Surtr would be forced to return to the real world. Neither thing was very desirable something though it appeared he would be forced to walk both paths. This world seemed insistent upon making his life harder and for the first 5000 years it had succeeded. Every step Surtr had taken was harder than the last. He was so close to reaching the peak of the mountain and now he had been thrown back down arguably to its base. He could not freely explore the world, he could no longer do as he pleased. His words, his actions, his expression all of it reflected upon his kingdom upon his people and so he would endure this pain for their sake. At least until he could find someone to pass this wretched crown to.

He sighed as she asked for whatever he would spare. He took a few moments to collect himself before speaking. "I am like Icarus cursed to attempt to reach the sun, helpless to it's call I craft wax wings knowing they will melt and try to fly higher and higher." He said realizing while the imagery was nice it was likely a cryptic response that provided little help. "I developed this technique, I spent 3000 years learning how to combine three different disciplines to pull it off. I have done what no other has, I did it because I had to.... like Icarus I had to touch the sun." He said looking to Saga now and watching as it seemed to burn brighter as if proud by what Surtr had to say about it.

"In addition I gave my heart away once.... A mistake I will not make again." He said plainly. That response seemed more silly to some perhaps but Surtr was serious. The act of tearing out his own heart and placing it in Saga somehow implied to him that he was now incapable of love. Surtr looked to her now waiting to see what she would say. He wondered what she would say would she ask more questions how would she respond?

Surtr smirked. "No Sacrifice, no victory." He said softly looking to her as he did. It was true he had a wonderful strength but a great weakness. He had done well in disguising the weakness. It wasn't very easy to discover and even if the did discover it they would have to take it from him. "This weakness can be countered, though once done the changes are.... irreversible." Surtr said softly as if to hint there was a final part to this spell a final act to the trick that once done could not be undone.

She spoke of not wanting love and Surtr would smirk softly before lunging forward so that she was now on her back and he atop her. His hands would gently slide beneath his own coat that she had wrapped around her caressing the skin that lay beneath. She asked to help and while the gesture was sweet Surtr shook his head. "You are too free for that." He said playfully before bringing his lips to her neck and giving her a gentle n**. He would not burden her with such things, this was his cross to bare. He dare not cage another bird. He would ensure that she be free to fly wherever the wind takes her.

After a playful nuzzle her would pull back now atop her looking into her eyes and wondering if she was done with the melancholy and ready for some fun. The light had returned and seemed to beam in the night now as if somehow she had managed to pull him from the darkness.

An hour or so had passed and Surtr's coat now lay on the ground with the duo on top of it. Both panting rather heavily from their adventures. Saga had been sitting on the ground a few feet away and the earth upon which she sat was now scorched a clear indicator to what had just happened. Kami lay atop Surtr as his hands would gently caress up and down her back his fingers deftly rubbing out any knots they found during their scan. It would likely be odd for Kami if she lay on his chest she would hear no heartbeat she would only hear the sound of his breathing. They were steady quiet and long signaling whatever worries he felt had before had been washed away by the passion of their exploits.

Surtr had obviously waste no time from when she had given him permission and the two would have gotten quite the workout. A thin layer of sweat on both only causing their skin to glisten in the moonlight. Despite their lack of clothes and cool n** of the night air neither would be cold. Surtr's warmth would be at a high point now enveloping the two and giving both parties a very comforting feeling. His muscles had relaxed his body worn from the stresses and physical activities of the day he would just lay with her draped atop him smitten with how the day decided to end.

His gaze was up at the stares but every so often he would shift his head a bit to bring his nose against her hair and take a nice deep breath allowing Kami's sweet scent to fill himself. A very nice night indeed.
