Bellatrix is outside of the cave. It is night, and she is having quite a nice conversation with a group of snakes. They are all around her, slithering and coiling slowly as they hiss.
She is smiling, obviously in her element. And, she feels that she is so very close to her goal. She can almost taste it. All of her hard work is about to pay off! And, armed with this new knowledge, and her more mature form, she feels that she is ready to try and take the next step.
Which might require her doing something that she really doesn't want to do. . . .
But, right now, she will not focus on that. Instead, she is going to focus on the information she is gathering from those who knew Negi, and her plotting. . . .

Signis was coming back to the cave from a hard day of work at the forge. He was working on something for himself this time, a new set of hammers... He'd gone and broken a few a few days back, and had finally gotten around to fixing them.
When he got within sight of the Cave though he froze, his eyes darting to where Bellatrix communies with her snakes. He makes not a sound, he really can't, considering that the moment he saw her his vocal cords had tighted into a knot and were clenched tight. His mouth was open, but no sound came from it.
My gods, she's glorious! Whend did this happen? When did I miss this? Did it happen today? Oh my... Oh dear... This complicates things a bit...
Already parts of Signis that he had held at bay by using the excuse that Bellatrix was still not ready for such action were begging to break free, his only excuse to himself - that she was still not physicaly mature - was gone, leaving him with a ture blue woman before him; talking to her snakes.
He stood there, hammer on his shoulder, and just stared, his eyes wide and a bit glassy, just... staring.

Bellatrix frowns when she is told of someone approaching. She glances up, brushing the bangs out from in front of her eye. Smirking at the look on Signis's face, she returns her attention to the snakes before her.
"He's harmless," she hisses. "He lives here. Which means that, regretably, I will have to take my leave. I am sorry. But, can we all meet again tomorrow?" When she gets the replies that she wishes, she adds, "Please, bring whomever else you think might be helpful to me. I don't think I can go any further without more knowledge."
Bellatrix stands, and watches the snakes dart off into the trees around the cave, and back to their homes. She wipes some dirt off of the black leather of her dress before looking over at Signis. She quirks a brow, and clasps her hands behind her back. With amusement added to her wicked smile, she asks, in a more mature voice, that carries a hiss to it, "Are you just going to stand there and look like an idiot all night, Signis?"

"Huh-wha-huh?" Signis blinked, tilting his head, then shaking it. His mind started to boot up slowly and his face began to grow a deeper red.
"Erm, uh... No... I just was uh... taken by suprise!" His free hand came up and started to scratch the back of his head, blinking a little bit as his brain was in the painful process of trying to sort itself out after having pretty much shut down.
"So uhm... How was... your uh-uh... Day! That's it! Day!"

Bella shakes her head, and brings a hand up to cover her mouth as she chuckles.
"Aside from the slightly painful start? It has been most. . . . Productive. And you, Signis?" she asks, tilting her head to the side.

"Pro-duc-tive... to do stuff..." Signis blinked a few times and shook his head, "S-sorry... I'm just... GAH!" He turned around and took a deep breath. "I didn't think I would have this much of a problem talking to you when you became an adult... But good god! You're absolutely stunning!" Not looking at her made it easier for him to communicate, as his brain didn't mushify.

Bellatrix smirks when Signis turns. Oh? Well. . . . Far beit for her to pass up an opportunity such as this one!
She strides over to Signis, tossing her wavy hair over her shoulder. When she reaches him, she places a hand on his shoulder, and walks the few steps it takes to face him. "Darling," she says, pouting,and doing a good job of looking slightly hurt. "I thought you thought that I was stunning before?"

"I did... do... damnit!" Signis shut his eyes tight when she came into view, taking a deep breath to try and still her nerves, which of course were bouncing all around his skull.
"Listen, you have always beens stunning, and gorgeous and all of that. But now..." He took a deep breath. "Now there is no reason for me to not... Take oure relationship to the next step..." He opened his eyes and looked down at her. "I had been keeping myself... in check... Waiting for this day..."
"I didn't care about living with you and all that, we behaved ourselves... I wanted to make this special... for you..." He looked down between them. "For me..." he whispered.

"Hmmmm," Bellatrix says, sliding her hand off of his shoulder, and putting it behind her back again. No reason to play coy anymore. "So, you look at me, and you automatically think of sex? My, Signis," she says, the corner of her lips twitching a little. "I don't know whether to feel flattered, or whether to call you a pig. . . ."
She turns her twinkling eyes away from his face, and conceals the amusement she is feeling over his discomfort, and the workings of his. . . . we'll say mind, for now.

"No! No! It's not like THAT!" He sighed and took a step back, looking down at her and holding his breath again, he kept his eyes on her for a bit, watching her and getting used to what he saw... All of what he saw, before he spoke again.
"Yes, a part of me does instantly think of sex when I see you... But that's a male thing, trust me, all men think about sex all the time, it's nothing new..." He sighed and shook his head. "But it's something else too... I mean... you're a fully grown woman now... You could have any man on the isle right now, they would probably bow down and kiss your feet... But look at me... I'm an old, used, damaged blacksmith, who already has kids from a prievious relationship..." He sighed. "I guess part of me is scared you might want an upgrade... if... well... we take the next step, and you don't find me to your liking after that..."

Bellatrix sighs, almost exhasperated at this point. She turns to Signis, and narrows her eyes. "Must I continue to defend my choice to you? I have stuck around through all of the crap, which included this conversation once before, by the way, and something about babies. If you keep it up, Signis, I just might get so tired of it that I will kick you out of my cave, and find someone who doesn't care about that sort of thing."
Straightening her dress, even though she really doesn't need to, her face relaxes. "It is not my intention to argue with you this evening. I'm in too good of a mood, and do not wish it to be soured," she pauses. "I just want that conversation put behind us. Can we at least agree on that?"

Signis just nods his head and he hold out his hand to her. "Come here..." He said gently, his eyes just looking at her like they always have, but now, there was no leash. He would just let her dictate what happened and when it was the only way.
"I want to thank you for sticking with me through all of my crap,"

Bellatrix eyes his hand, warily a little, before her eyes glance up to study Signis's. After a moment, she nods, and takes his hand, stepping a little closer to him.
"Least I could do," she says, the wicked smile returning to her lips. "Besides, I am a b***h. I know I am. You've dealt with your fair share from me, so I guess we are even."
Her smile widens into a grin, and her eyes twinkle once more. "So. . . . You like the new look, then?" she chuckles.

Signis smiled back at her, his own eyes flashing a little, the corner of his mouth becoming a smirk. "You a b***h? Since when?" He joked, giving her a wink, and slowly slid an arm around her back pulling her against him.
"To say that I like it would not do justice you, or the feelings I have for it." He chuckled and leaned in, giving her a nice firm kiss before pulling his lips away from hers. "I love it, adore it, absolutely am enthralled by it." He laughed, a light and happy laugh. "Hell, you turned me into a completely gibbering fool..." He kept his arm around her to keep her close.
"So yeah... I like it..."

Bellatrix laughs into the kiss, and is still laughing softly when it is over. "I think I liked you as a gibbering fool," she says, winking back at him as her tail moves lazily behind her.
"Ah, I feel I must warn you of something. . . ." she starts, looking away from Signis again. "Lenore has agreed to . . . well, Nyoka has agreed, actually, to take Voldemort for a week. I am not going to be home much, starting tomorrow evening, and continuing on. Actually, I might not be coming home at all. . . . Some information has come to me, and I have to investigate a little more so that I can fully understand it. And, it would be impractical of me to hike from home every morning to collect it." She pauses a moment. "Right now, the information is just buzzing around in my head like an annoying fly, and I have to do this in order to get it to stop."
She then smirks a little. "So, whatever we plan on doing tonight and tomorrow, we might want to get to it sometime in the near future. . . ."
