 Located down several twisting and tight streets you come upon a door sitting simply on wall. There's no cut out, there is no indication it's there till you spy the handle and a dust riddled sign. The opens easily and as the sweet aroma meets your sense's you forget the shabby outside when you enter this wonderland. Incenses burn in several corners of the lavish bar, the smoke twisting and turning in the air. This is not your ordinary Tavern. Here at the Aethral's Kiss they make you feel as though you're royalty and not just coming in off of the street. The waiters and waitresses are a friendly flirty bunch, even the ones that aren't Aethrals. Games of chance can be found all around as well as private nooks for those who wish to be a bit more secluded. There's a polished bar that stretches across the room and at it you can find almost anything you desire. The Bartender is a wonderful man who will listen too all your worries. In the center of the room is a large stage where dancers offer entertainment. Upstairs are several rooms you may rent, they go for either the night or the hour depending on your pleasure. The Aethral's kiss is run by a team. A Swordmaster named Jathe has watched the shop since the founder was killed and his wife left for a bit. He is a calm fellow but don't cause problems in his bar. Behave and you won't find his sword at your throat. He is the bartender here. The other is a young Aethral, Vesinn, who's parents started this place. A few years ago he returned and Jathe was willing to partnership with him. Vesinn is the top dancer here and lives on the third floor. The two make a good team and both strive to please their clientele. Care to come in?

  Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher priceThe beat rolled through the tavern. A singer stood amongst the band members, the song rolling from his lips in a native tongue in the desert. While some paid attention to him most were drawn to the stage. Upon the polished surface moving gracefully from side to side was a tall, lithe dancer. Long braided raven hair flowed with him as he moved his body in ways the most had never seen and for some never dreamed. There wasn't a beat he missed nor a movement out of place. A gentle jingling could be heard with the music as the jewelry he wore moved with him. Sweat glistened on sun kissed skin as he picked up his speed. This was living. There was only two things in his life that had ever made him feel so alive and dancing was one of them. Vesinn couldn't help but smile when he saw the entranced faces around him. He knew part of it was his races natural ability to draw a person in but in truth he believed that most of it was the art he worked so hard to master. When the song drew to a close Vesinn bowed to the group grinning at the calls. Retreating out the back of the stage a laugh left the Aethral. That had gone well. Moving into a close by dressing room he quickly cleaned up and changed. Now in his normal attire of a midriff shirt and silky Arabian styled pants he came out a side door moving towards the bar. "Looking good like always." Jathe said the tan swordmaster cleaning a glass as he looked at his young partner. "Thank you very much. Looks like a full house tonight." Vesinn answered smiling. The Swordmaster set a glass of water that had fresh slices of lemon in it in front of the boy. "Yeah. We're gunna be busy. Don't worry bout it. We'll be fine. Take a bit of break. I'll send someone over to get you when it's time for your next show." Jathe continued. He got another pretty smile and a soft kiss on the cheek as Vesinn scooped up the cup. Moving across the room, there was a soft sway in his hips. As he reached his normal alcove the Aethral slipped inside. Sighing as he sank onto the pillows that cover the area. Turning his eyes outside, ruby eyes watched the sun setting across the sand. Humming a little as he turned back Vesinn let his eyes close has he relax. The evening was still young. He couldn't help but wonder what was in store for the rest of it. At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet

______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________ The swordmaster entered the tavern slowly. He did not want to seem suspicious but he also wanted to be prepared encase anything were to go amiss once he entered. Upon entering with no incidence he smiled and made his way to a table. The place looked like a nice relaxing spot to just sit and cool off. Well for some of them. It seemed that an act had already gone on and a few of the others in the tavern seemed a little bothered. This caused him to chuckle. His eyes moved away from the other guests and wondered around the room. It was nicely decorated. Unlike most taverns in the desert this one was thought through very well. It would be difficult to put away but that really wasn't the point.
After a few moments passed he wondered who worked here and if he'd ever get service. Perhaps it was self service and he was supposed to go to the bartender. He sighed. Although his legs were not nearly as sore as one would expect them to be after journeying through the desert all day, he still didn't want to get up again. Looking this way and that he finally found what he believed to be the owner. It took him a moment of looking but Raesis realized that the man before him was of his kind, a swordmaster. Far from home it is always pleasant to run into others of your own breed.
"Excuse me sir" he said with a loud enough tone to be heard but not so loud as to be shrill. "Do I come over there for a drink or can I remain here?" he questioned him. He hoped that his manner was not coming off as snobbish. The dry desert heat and long trek had tired him slightly, if not physically but mentally and he wished for just a nice cold drink to get his mind back in order. If the man was at all insulted by his manner then he would be sure to apologize.

The brown haired Swordmaster looked up when a voice called to him. A twitch of a smile crossed his face when he saw the pale man. He knew what he was in an instant. Always nice to have another Swordmaster around. Some people just didn't get what it meant to be one. "I can bring you somethin'. What's your poison?" Jathe called back. At Aethral's Kiss they were about service not anything else.
Lounging among the mound of pillows still, Vesinn looked up when he heard Jathe talking to a customer. He recognized the tone in Jathe's voice. There was someone out there that interested the Swordmaster. Now the Aethral was curious. Rarely did he heard that tone in his long time friend. Standing, the soft silk of his clothes whispering lightly as he moved, the long haired man moved to peek out of the curtain that normally hid him from view.
The man he seemed to be talking to was a new comer. He'd never seen one like this. He was pale...very pale. Hair, eyes...skin...Vesinn had never seen someone like that out in the desert. Back in Tornac's home yes but here was strange. For a moment Vesinn worried that something bad might happen. Shaking his head lightly he chidded himself for considering it. Jathe was comfortable that's all that mattered. If the Swordmaster was nervous then Vesinn knew it was time to worry.
Waiting for the pale man to answer Jathe's question, Vesinn took the time to look him over. He had to be a fighter like Jathe. There wasn't any doubt in him mind. The man's face was soft but handsome. Several people were eying the white haired man. As soon as Jathe set the glass down Vesinn went into action. Calmly walking across the room to the bar, the Aethral snatched up the glass with a playful wink to his bartender. Taking it over to the pale man he smiled. "Welcome to the Aethral's Kiss. I hope you find your stay, be it long or short, pleasurable." Vesinn said softly as he place the glass in front of the man with a small bow.

______________________________________________________________________ Raesis had quickly answered the man asking for a relatively strong but nice freezing cold drink. He frankly didn't care what it was as long as it was good and cold. He looked around the room as he waited for the man to prepare it. As he glanced around he noticed a few people looking at him and then their eyes moved away quickly when his met theirs. This made him chuckle. He was a rather bright and glaringly obvious spectacle being such a pale person out here in the desert.
He was about to retrieve the glass himself but he was beaten to it by a very lovely creature. He found his eyes moving on their own as he looked over his whole body. Every inch seemed perfect and smooth. An odd gift for someone who lives in the desert. Either he rarely goes into the sun or he is gifted with such nice skin. His eyes were captivating and he found it difficult to move away from them once locked there. After he placed the glass down Raesis stared at him for what seemed like ages before he forced himself to turn and take a drink. A pleased hum left him as the cold drink made it's way down his parched throat. Turning he smiled.
"I shall" he said as he couldn't help a smirk rising on his face. He knew what this man was now. At first it had stumped him but it came to him as he felt the attraction and urge to just be near him grow.Aethral. Those devilishly beautiful creatures that have been the downfall of many men. This one was different though. Were the men to have horns? It was strange that this one did not. Perhaps he was still young. Or maybe a half breed. So many possibilites were floating from his head but they were all dashed as his eyes locked again with his.
"Do you know where I can find a place to stay for a few days?" he questioned with a smile. It took all he had to not reach out and pull him in closer. Curse their natural seduction. Even he could not resist. "Oh, and thanks for the drink" he said winking then taking a sip. The wink made him cringe inside a little as he is not the kind to do such things but he had to keep reminding himself it was not his own doing.

A musical laugh left Vesinn when the man winked at him. There was something about the man that eased the young Aethral. He didn't seem to be giving in, which was already a bonus with Vesinn. The pale man seemed to have a friendly air about him and that helped a lot. It was almost like Jathe's only there was the air of unfamiliarity about the pale man.
When the man asked for a place to stay Vesinn smiled again. This was good. If the man willingly stayed here then he might get a chance to speak more with him. The Aethral found him interesting and couldn't help but want to learn more about the stranger. Unlike most Aethral's, Vesinn wasn't interested in getting the man in bed. Sure if things lead that way then maybe, but really he was just interesting.
"Well you are in luck sir. Aethral's Kiss in not only a bar but an inn. You may rent a room for however many days you want. We offer very nice clean rooms and lots of entertainment." Vesinn slipped a little into business mode as he spoke. He had to earn his keep after all and show Jathe he was good. Red eyes watched the pale male with a soft look. "Would you to room here?" He asked smiling a little.

Raesis could not resist the sigh that left him when Vesinn laughed. Such a beautiful voice. Damn them those Aethrals. Despite this natural attraction that comes with the beings he noted that Vesinn was not actually trying to seduce him. If the boy had turned on that charm then he really would be screwed...literally. They really knew how to get to people.
"Before I accept anything may I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking to. I do not believe you have introduced yourself. As I have not either" Raesis said shifting so his body faced the Aethral. He placed a hand across his chest and bowed lightly "I am Raesis Belvorenth" he smiled when he looked back up. Saying his own name was a bit of a power trip for him. He could never explain why but when ever he spoke it he felt a surge of pride and strength flow through him. The smile never faded as he awaited to hear the name of the angel in front of him.

Oh yes he liked this one. He was the right amount of honesty and playfulness. Vesinn had to keep an eye on how much he relaxed around this man. Tornac would frown upon him giving in so easily. Oh but he was tempting. Very tempting. The way he carried himself in just the simple movements he had spoke volumes to the Aethral. It wouldn't be hard to...no bad Vesinn behave.
"I beg your pardon Master Belvorenth. I am Vesinn Yvoru, one of the owners of this establishment. It is a pleasure and an honor to meet you." Vesinn said with a smile. It felt strange to use his last name. Most of the time he only used his first name but it felt wrong to introduce himself without it. Now hopefully the man would stay.
The whole time, the steady eyes of Jathe watched his younger partner talk to his fellow Swordmaster. He trusted the Aethral to be able to talk his way out of a problem but that didn't mean he wasn't going to take a chance that he would absolutely be able too. Quietly cleaning a glass his gaze was a constant reassurance to the raven haired beauty.

______________________________________________________________________ The name he spoke made him shiver. The way the words just rolled out of his perfectly soft lips made him want to melt and give in to the angel...no the god that sat before him. "Vesinn Yvoru" he began by repeating the name" It is a wonderful name.Now that we are more acquainted I shall ask if I may have a room. How large are your rooms and by how much do they go for?" he questioned as he went through his pack to retrieve his coins. He had quite a bit of money so that was no issue what so ever. The King did support his wanderings which have so far been rather fruitful. The money was just a perk.
From the corner of his eye and of his attention he saw the bartender watching the two carefully. It was nice to see him being so protective of his partner. With someone with such beauty and charm it is only natural that one feel such an urge. Even he, who had only known Vesinn for mere minutes felt the need to protect the delicate desert rose.

"Thank you very much." Vesinn smiled widely at not only the compliment but the fact that he was staying. This was wonderful. He couldn't help but want to know where the man was from and what brought him to Meyeser? There were a lot of questions bouncing around his head. Hopefully he'd get to ask him without bothering him too much.
"Our rooms vary depending on the need and the length of the stay. Do you know how long you will be in town? As for payment we'll worry about that in the morning, sound fair?" Vesinn couldn't help the playful wink that slipped out of him. Nor could he really resist the slightly suggestive comment. It was just too tempting to ignore. After all he was an Aethral and temptation was his gift.
Standing up he crooked a finger in a becoming motion as he wandered over towards the bar. Moving around the bar he made his way towards the book they keep for room records. It looked as though they had several open for long stays. Only a couple for short. Vesinn chuckled when he noticed their hourly rooms were almost completely booked. Really they needed to watch that.

______________________________________________________________________ Raesis stood and followed as if another force was compelling him to follow. With his small motion he could feel much of his control slip but he desperately clung to what he could so as to remain civil. Once to the destination the Aethral had led him too he leaned on the bar and waited for him. It took a moment to remember that Vesinn had asked him a question earlier.
"Oh forgive me. I plan to stay for at least a week" he said as he tried to figure if there was more he needed to do here. "I could possibly be here longer if the weather was to pick up near the end of my stay" he said wondering what this man had planned for him. He knew that if this lovely thing wanted anything from him that he would not be able to resist. Yet he also felt he would not mind either. But for now, as long as he can resist it he would do so with all his strength. He felt that such actions done on a whim are meaningless. There should at least be some feelings between the two before such is done. He cleared his throat and looked away. Why did he have to start thinking about that now.
"Is there any room openings for that time?" he said trying to distract his mind on something else.

"One week? Hm....." Vesinn hummed softly as he looked across their vacant rooms. A painted nail traced the lines on the parchment as he read. "It looks like we have several open right now. The question is where too put you?" He said looking up at Raesis a moment to smile before looking back down. He wanted to make certain that the pale man's stay here was as wonderful as possible. Vesinn took his clients pleasure very seriously.
There was the soft sound of leather boots on stone as Jathe made his way over. After all the books were kept behind his bar. Leaning on the polished wood next to Vesinn he looked down at the book. "How about the room near the east tower? The one next to the third floor stair well?" Jathe suggested tapping the line that indicated the room.
Vesinn tapped one finger against his lips. That should work. He didn't see why not. "Yes I agree. It has some wonderful views out over the city. I hope it's to your liking. That will be 140 gold for the week. Does that sound reasonable?" He asked reaching for the key to the room. The Aethral had to stretch to get the key and even on his tip toes he felt like he was barely able to reach it. Jathe seemed to love keeping things high.

______________________________________________________________________ Raesis nodded. "The room will be fine. I can sleep anywhere. I do suppose though that a bit of luxury for once will not be all that bad" he said with a small chuckled before rising. He stepped to the side motioning to the Aethral to lead the way.
The way they had spoken of his rooms sounded as though it was rather nice. He wondered how much they could get away with crappy rooms if Vesinn "influenced" them more often. As he followed he did all he could to not stare at the lower rear end of the graceful body that was in front of him. He knew he didn't do such things on purpose (yet) but it still made it hard.
Once they made it to the room he stepped to the side and waited. The hall had been nicely decorated as had the bar area. One could spend all day here and not think twice of going outside. It was even cool here. Away from all the heat and crowds you could easily lose yourself here. If he could he'd live here. That thought he passed out of his mind and refocused it on the door.

Vesinn hummed softly as he lead the man towards his room. Several people called to him as he passed and he answered in a friendly way but never stopped moving. The Aethral had learned a long time ago, if you pause you get drawn away and released when Jathe cuts the hand off the one who removed your shirt. Slipping through a curtain he lead the man up the stairs to the second floor.
Most of the rooms on this floor were for long stays. All of them were rather large. As he came up to the ornate door he unlocked it and lead the way in. "Here you go Mister Belvorenth. I do hope you like it. We serve breakfast everyday from dawn to 9. This place is pretty tame during the day. At night though we offer all sorts of entertainment." He explained as walked into the spacious room.
There was a king size bed settled against the back of one wall. Sheer curtains were tied back around the four poster bed revealing a plush comforter that was laded with pillows. On the wall opposite of the bed was a large window that looked out over the city. A small door lead into a beautifully tiled bathroom. The large tub was set in a grove of the floor that drained any extra water away keeping the majority of the floor dry.
"Well sir what do you think?" Vesinn asked turning around to look back at Raesis. The Aethral did his best to make certain each room was clean and in very good condition. He expected things to be perfect and when they weren't he himself would work to fix it. He wasn't scared to get his hands dirty. That is when Jathe let him do it. Silly Swordmaster.

______________________________________________________________________ The swordmaster was a little taken back by the extravagance inside. He continued to look around the room in wonder as he slowly fumbled for the gold. He only looked away for a brief moment to get the correct amount and give it to Vesinn. His gaze shifted back to the room and he began to wander it slowly. The bed was amazing. It looked far nicer than ANYTHING he'd ever slept on in his whole life. In fact he felt it was too nice. He would not say it but he'd probably end up sleeping on the hard floor that night. Especially with as dusty and sweaty as he was. No way did he want to ruin anything in this room.Even thought there was a bath there he didn't even want to ruin that with his filth. After at least ten minutes of gawking he finally turned back.
"This room is magnificent thank you" he said with true gratitude and added his bow. "I can't say I'd even want to leave the room. But perhpas when I am rested I will come down and see what entertainment it is you offer." he smiled.
"you must be busy I will not keep you any longer. Thank you again for your help. You are quite the good host" Raesis said setting his things down. The place did have a full house and by the look of things it was not going to slow down any time soon. It also didn't look like there were many others working there so the amount of things he must have to do must be staggering. That is from his perspective anyway.
