And You'll Get Burned

[Sidian SaDiablo]

For the briefest moment as he leaned down it looked like he was going to kiss her and Anaya's breath stilled. Her heart started to race a little and as he instead leaned to kiss her hand she flushed a bright red, evident against her pale skin. His lips were warm against her skin and the gesture was so old world gentleman that it made her smile again despite the blushing.

When Koren leaned back to stand straight again, he looked at her face and could see the evident blushing. He became more self conscious of what he did and felt a bit silly, smiling alongside her. After the moment had transpired, he looked her over once more and rubbed his head lightly. It was already getting rather late and he was just now starting to feel like he was overstaying his welcome. He knew his cloths were dry and had been for quite a bit of time now, but he felt as though he didnt want to leave. But he also knew that it would be rude to ask to stay.

"As it has gotten rather late, i should probably get my cloths and look into finding a place to stay for the night. I would imagine after the night youve had, rest would be a welcome release from everything and i could only imagine the lack there of rest you would get if i stayed."

"As it has gotten rather late, i should probably get my cloths and look into finding a place to stay for the night. I would imagine after the night you've had, rest would be a welcome release from everything and i could only imagine the lack there of rest you would get if i stayed."

Anaya tilted her head, her eyes suddenly shifting to having a vivid teal iris while maintaining the slit pupil. Her eyes only lost color completely when she was extremely weak, and now that she was feeling a little better after playing her music, her eyes sparkled mischievously. She chuckled a little, not removing her hand from his as she looked up at him with a playful grin and an eyebrow raised. Cocking a hip slightly she arched her back just a tiny bit, looking sassy.
"Oh yeah, what kind of lack thereof rest are you thinking?" she teased him, her fangs flashing in the dim lighting in good humor while her tone was both playful and suggestive.

[DJ Merenth]

Koren watched her react and move a bit to what he had said and saw her cock slightly to one side before speaking. He blinked a moment, trying to process what she was suggesting, but it took only that moment to put two and two together. Chuckling, he decided to play along with her teasing as he spoke back. "Come now. You think i havent noticed your averting eyes from time to time? And there could be no mistake in my own aversion."

He smiled a little more toothy when he spoke again. "Besides, If nothing else, even just the thought of sharing the room with someone else i imagine would be rather stimulating for the both of us. Not having been around anyone for several millennia can do that to someone."

[Sidian SaDiablo]

Her eyes widened and her face lit up as he actually teased her back, though her gaze carried heat at his words. She chuckled, biting her lip a little and intentionally looking at him from the bottom up as her wings fluttered behind her back just once.
"To be fair, one would have to be kind of dead to not notice when you're walking around mostly naked. I am neither dead nor a saint by any means so of course I can appreciate. And two...holy shit a few millenia? and I thought a century or so for me was a dry spell" she commented, finally removing her hand from his though she trailed her nails lightly along his palm as she did so.
"I'm going to go snag your clothes so you can be more comfortable while we talk and I am not even touching that second comment....for now" she said over her shoulder as she sauntered to the laundry area.
Gathering the pile of clothes she folded them quickly and carried them back out to him.
"If for whatever reason you've suddenly become shy, the bathroom is the door I just came from if you want to change. Or, actually use it" she joked. "For tonight, the least I can do for everything you've done for me is let you stay here. There's a rather large bed up in the loft, and I sleep down here all the time if us sharing the same room..." she semi sarcastically gestured to the fact they had been in the same room together all night. "would be too.. stimulating?" she commented, gesturing to the large and incredibly soft looking blanket under the bench by the window. The bench was obviously large enough for her to sleep on it, being almost as wide as a twin bed.

[DJ Merenth]

When her face lit up a bit, he couldnt help but chuckle a little. He watched her look him from toe to head and couldnt help but do something similar to her as she wasnt paying attention. Her first comment made him smile genuinely, feeling more confident in his own looks a bit. When she commented on her own dry spell, he couldnt hold in his chuckle. The way she pulled her hand from his gave his body a soft chill, as he felt something he thought long dead inside him.

As she commented and walked away towards the room she had his cloths in, he couldnt help but once again stare at her sauntering hips. When he had first seen her, he thought nothing of her figure or anything. But after seeing her with little inhibitions holding her back, he started to see her more and more as someone more than just a random person he knew. He moved back to the spot they had been sitting in, looking out the window over the city scape. When he heard her padding back towards him, he turned around and looked at her.

He took his cloths in hand and chuckled some at her next remark before setting his cloths down on the table by them. When the final remark came, he looked at her. He thought about his answer for a moment before chiming in his thoughts. "Well, Ive yet to be shy, and lets just say, im the one with less cloths on at the moment. And im never one to turn down an offer to stay somewhere where i feel comfortable. So, if its not to.... Stimulating for you, i think im rather comfy in what im wearing now if your ok with me continuing to wear it. But as for being in the same room, well... Im sure we can adjust to it if we feel the need or want to."

[Sidian SaDiablo]

Anaya nodded at his decision, nodding her head upward to indicate the ladder.
"I think after the initial shock I've gotten over you walking around in practically nothing. That being said, I haven't slept next to someone in..... well...honestly I'm not sure" she trailed off, her gaze thoughtful and slightly perturbed for a moment. After a moment she shrugged and looked at him.
"To be honest I don't know if I've ever really slept next to another person, not really. I can show you why I wasn't that concerned though" she offered, moving to the ladder and indicating him to follow her.
Easily she climbed the ladder, the muscles in her shoulders and back flexing as she did so. Once she got to the top she stepped to the side, leaning against the steel railing as she waited for him to join her. The upper loft was split into two sections by a smoky glass divider; a workspace with a desk and a ladder leading up to a hatch in the ceiling that was bolted from the inside, and a large bedroom with a walk in closet type area.

The bedroom was beautiful, the back wall a mural of the mountains with a full moon hanging in the sky. The stars in the painting were astrologically correct, and a mist hung over the mountains with fireflies in the foreground. A large rug with runes over it covered much of the hardwood floors, tucking under an absolutely massive, larger than california king style bed with an artistically designed steel frame with scrollwork throughout the headboard and footboard. The colors on the bed were dark, broken up by several large and overly soft looking blankets tossed over it. A smaller bookcase stood next to the bed on one side, along with a light clearly placed to be able to read. Along the far wall, away from where anyone might be able to see into the room was another bank of gridwork windows overlooking the waterfront, where more lights danced in a reflection. The rain had finally stopped, leaving beads of moisture all over the glass. Adjacent to the walls was an almost hidden fogged glass door leading elsewhere.

Koren raised a brow lightly at the comment of sleeping next to one another, as he thought more just in the same room, but was actually quick to shrug the thought away because he was once again reminded of Lilith and her mischevious deeds when she was with his clan. More often than not, he would find her curled up by him in his own bed after a nap or slumber. After shrugging it off completely, he looked back at her as she offered to show him what she was talking about. He was soon following her to the ladder.

When he got to the ladder and looked up, he saw a little more than he expected. But he kept himself behaved and simply focused on something else as he followed. When she stepped to the side, he pulled himself up with a slight huff and glanced around at the loft. The colors and design of the area's he saw were very simple in idea and execution, but worked very well for the aesthetically pleasing sight and simplicity of living alone. Everything was deliberate in its location and he could tell she put much thought, effort and work into making it work exactly the way she wanted it to.

Koren smiled as he looked down at her. "I can see why you would say being in the same room would be nothing to worry about. Everything is placed well and works with the overall warmth."

[Sidian SaDiablo]

Anaya raised an eyebrow at him and chuckled.
"Honestly I meant that the bed is gigantic but I'm glad you like the aesthetic. I've had a long time to work on it" she said casually.
"If sleeping near each other is an issue, like I said I can always sleep downstairs. I fall asleep down there a lot when I'm reading or...tired. However, I have a bit of a ritual after it's rained like that. You can get some rest if you like, or join me though it would mean getting wet again."

Without much of an explanation she stepped into the walk in closet area, shutting the door. Only a few moments later she reappeared in a bathing suit, a cover up wrapped around her waist and hiding down to her knees, though a slit in the side where it tied flashed skin when she moved. The bathing suit top left little to the imagination, a series of small rings holding the straps and revealing a flowing tattoo that snaked up her shoulder, curving down her back and wrapping around her side into the inside of her hip.

She smiled a little self consciously, tilting her head to the fogged door.
"Hot tub" she explained simply, heading for that door. "Make yourself at home" she said warmly over her shoulder.

[DJ Merenth]

Koren heard her speak and smiled some as he listened. He had come to figure she had the soul of Lilith residing in or around her, and that was why he felt so at home being around her. Whether it was the truth or not, he cared little about finding out. For now, they were here in the present, and he tried to keep himself there as well. After she told him about what she planned on doing and disappearing into the walk in, he thought hard for a moment if he should take up her offer. He had nothing else to wear besides his underwear.

When she returned a moment later, he glanced her over and was once again enveloped with her appearance. He liked everything he saw and felt he couldnt think much beyond how stunning she looked. But after the initial shock of her look passed, he glanced down at his waist where the blanket hung. "Well... I wouldnt mind joining, but i dont have anything besides what im currently wearing, and if i use that, then im left with nothing after." He debated once more the thought of simply saying fuck it, and looked at her back now as she moved towards the other door. "But if you dont mind that, i wouldnt mind joining."

[Sidian SaDiablo]

Anaya paused at the door, looking back at him with an amused smile.
"Well....tell you what. If you want to join me the jets will cover anything.." she glanced down at the blanket "private. And i promise to close my eyes while you get it. I won't even peek through my fingers" she finished, her tone teasing on the last bit.
Opening the door she stepped out on her patio, which was actually a section cut out of the side of the building so it was entirely sheltered from view. Potted bamboo covered up the brick walls, with candles hanging and scattered over the area. She flicked her hand and lit them, the only bit of basic magicks she knew. In the middle of the patio sat a large hot tub, which she turned the jets on before untying her cover up, revealing a bikini bottom that the sides were cut away into three stripes. Stretching her arms upwards she smiled at her serene little hideaway.

[DJ Merenth]

Chuckling, Koren slowly started following her after her remark. He undid the blanket and left it outside the door before walking into the door and looking around. The scene before him was peaceful and serene, already working itself to unnerve and unwind any who entered. When the candles lit with a soft light, it added to the ambiance of the room. When the jets turned on, he glanced back over at her and smiled some at when she undid her cover, revealing what was underneath. He knew she was teasing him with her comments and cloths, but he was enjoying it, and took it all in. He slowly moved over to the side of the tub as he spoke lightly. "No need to shy away from looking or staring if you dont want to. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of."

[Sidian SaDiablo]

Anaya chuckled at his statement, bending over slightly to test the temperature of the water with her fingers. As she did her wings vanished, revealing the smooth expanse of her back and the entirety of the tattoo that curved gracefully down it. Bars and notes of music were somehow both smoky and distinct with letters in ancient Babylonian interspersed in them. Few could read the text or knew what it meant, it was a gift to herself many many years ago and she considered herself lucky that time had not worn the ink. She didn't mind her wings usually but they got in the way of relaxing sometimes. A soft breeze wafted in over the waters of the bay next to her building, drifting over the strong glass railing to the balcony and kissing across her skin.
Gracefully, she stepped up into the hot tub and settled down into the steaming waters with a contented sigh. Leaning her head against the back edge of the tub she shifted so a jet pulsed against the muscles in her back and groaned almost inaudibly as the muscles loosened up. She kept her eyes closed as she said she would, though she opened one to look over at him with a playful smile.

"I suggested more out of politeness than actually believing you might be shy at this point" she commented, closing her eyes again.

[DJ Merenth]

Koren watched her move, and glanced her over again when she bent over to test the water. When her wings disappeared, he was able to see clearly a tattoo that covered most of her back and smiled some at its artistic perfection. He could tell it was very well done and took much time to get the details down. He appreciated tattoos to a level most wouldnt as it was a very solid print being put onto ones skin. While immortals and creatures of the dark were capable of removing or killing tattoos from their skin, it was always a pleasure to see something that has actually stood the test of time because of the skill or meaning behind it. The soft breeze from the bay close by broke him of his trance and a soft smell wafted over him.

He closed his eyes for a moment and breathed heavily of the smell of the bay, grass and buildings that were between them. In his own vision, he could almost see the colors of each smell and they painted a vivid, yet unknown picture in his mind. He just stood there, enthralled by the smell, so much so that he didnt hear the comment she made after entering. His body moved a bit closer to the balcony, though only by a few steps and he once again inhaled deeply of the air that slid past him from the bay. More colors, more smells.

Once he had inhaled deeply a third time, a soft and very subtle deep forest green hue could be seen around his body, forming a Celtic glyph that spanned his entire upper body and the softest of vibrations began to echo thru the air. The vibrations were not menacing or indicated any evil in them, but sent chills down any creature who had never felt as such. Almost the equivalent of a human getting goose bumps, but deliberately. The vibrations continued as he inhaled one last time, this time completely filling his lungs to capacity. Even his own were in awe of this as Koren stood there for almost ten full minutes from the time he started the last inhale, to when he finally exhaled. The hue and glyph slowly dissipated with his breath, the vibrations also coming to a halt when the last bit of oxygen left his lips.

He opened his eyes finally and instead of their normal color, they were a deep forest green with the faintest of golden rings splitting the green. He looked back at her with a soft smile as he moved towards the hot tub, his movement more subtle now. His steps fell quieter, the weight fainter, and even his body rotation being calmer. As he stepped into the hot tub and made his way to the middle of it before sitting down, a soft vibration emitted from his chest. The water acted almost in terror of what had happened, becoming so quiet that it was as if it wasnt even running, even when you could visibly see it still bubbling and moving like normal. It fell completely silent and soon every muscle in both his own body and hers began to soften and recover.

[Sidian SaDiablo]

When he didn't enter the tub quickly Anaya opened her eyes slightly before twisting her body to rest her arms and head on the edge of the tub, watching Koren. He seemed so immersed in the scents on the breeze, just like he had been in the rain earlier. As the green glow began and the vibrations echoed through the air the fine hairs on her body felt like they stood on end and she sat up straighter, her eyes locked onto his form as he held the final breath. Her admiring gaze shifted to a single raised eyebrow as he continued to hold in his breath and she found herself wishing she had her phone on her to time this out as it had started to feel like forever.

When he finally released his breath and the very air seemed to let out any sort of tension she studied his movements without blinking, taking it all in and storing it away for later. The silence as even the water quieted was deafening even for the moment and she tore her gaze from him as he entered the water, blowing air towards a chime hung in the corner just outside their little hideaway. It immediately sounded, a symphony of clear, ringing and echoing notes that didn't break the peacefulness but enhanced it as she leaned back on her seat, her head back against the edge again. Looking at him again through lowered lashes she smiled.
"You sir, are absolutely fascinating" she commented, her voice soft.
