Trouble in the Forest (Private Sayrn, Ardere.)

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere watched as the woman poured her coffee, and put something in it that he could not tell what it was. Nice to meet you Sayrn. Tapping his fingers inside of his pockets, he would lean against the wall slightly to listen to her as she talked. She was quite experienced in her field, and he respected that. Nodding and smirking slightly at his being correct at her guild, he noted that he had never actually met a Lamia Scale mage. It was strange to think of it like that, but first impressions about them seemed alright so far. Looking around the room as she mentioned it being messy, he shrugged slightly. It's fine, I've seen worse. Trust me. Unstrapping his sword, which was red with bits of white and orange, leaned it up against the table. He would then take off his white jacket, and roll up the sleeves of his black shirt. Laying the jacket on the chair next to his sword, his blood red Sabertooth tattoo was now visible on his right forearm. Stepping into the living room, he rubbed the back of his neck at the sight of the couch.

He tapped his chin for a moment, then turned to her after her question. Truthfully he wasn't in the mood to clean, but he was a polite person so he obliged. I suppose if I'm going to be staying the night, I might as well pitch in. Ardere had come to the conclusion that Sayrn was a nice girl, and she had just saved that man's life so the least he could do was some summer cleaning. He began to pick up some stuff, and throw it away. They're lucky you didn't catch them, I know if I had I would've kicked em halfway across Hargeon. Cleaning up the couch was his first priority, since that would be where he was sleeping for the night. He didn't mind, but he was still worried about the man. Keeping that Rune Knight mentality was not something he had intended to do, it just sort of happened. She posed another question, which she seemed to have a lot of. I was actually on my way back to Sabertooth from a mission. I just so happened to be walking the same path as that poor guy. Tossing some trash in a bag, he looked around to see what else needed done.

She was quite the mysterious girl, at least in his eyes for the moment. She seemed to have things going on in the background of her life, but it was none of his business so he would not pry. Looking towards the alarm, he was still a bit shook by the man who was bitten, but he kept his cool. After finishing cleaning the couch and it's surrounding areas, he would plop down on it lightly and exhale deeply. So what do you like to do around here aside from save people's lives? Ardere figured if he was going to be here for the night, he might as well get to know the woman. My guess is you live out here by yourself right? The fire mage folded one leg over the other. Oh and would you mind if I had some coffee? He generally preferred to drink sake during his leisure time, but a nice cup of coffee wasn't bad once in a while.

Ardere averted his eyes away from her for a moment. Oh, I see. While he was a more serious man, he did like to have fun every once in a while. If he didn't have fun, he might not be such a good person. Being a mage, he had seen some dark things in his time. Nonetheless, Sayrn was an interesting young woman. He had guessed as much that she was a researcher, the amount of papers in her house and the lab in the back kind of gave that away. Smiling a little bit after her comment, he gladly accepted the cup of coffee. I imagine it has to get lonely out here sometimes. Lifting up the cup to his mouth, he took a sip of the warm coffee. It wasn't the best cup of coffee he had ever had, but it wasn't bad at all. Taking another sip he would lean back a bit. Her cabin was nice and comfortable he found, even though it had been a bit messy just a minute ago. The fire mage took a few moments to look around the room and examine things while they had their conversation, still staying by the couch though.

I can imagine. Seems like you need some sort of security system in here. He had been raised by thieves, so he knew their thinking and their tactics. Not all security systems were the most efficient, but with a cabin here in the middle of the woods it was the least he thought she could do. Ardere had taken a liking to the young woman, she seemed like a nice enough person. He was a bit short on friends, especially ones that were women. He took a sip just as she posed her question on what he would do with his time, almost spitting out his coffee, he swallowed it quickly so he didn't look like an idiot. Well I mean, you're an attractive young woman, it wouldn't be hard to be interested. You are quite the intelligent one as well. I'm not a weirdo though I promise. I figured I would spend my time reading, I tend to do that a lot. It was obvious he was not that experienced with women, but he was a laid back guy who was experienced with people in general. Smirking at her slightly, he appreciated her bluntness. It was not a trait he found in most people these days, at least not in a good way. Waiting a few moments as she stepped out of the room, he noticed her new outfit quickly. His eyes scanned her for a moment, not in a perverted manner, but as any normal person would do when they saw someone in a new outfit. He wasn't sure exactly why she had changed, probably because she wanted to feel more at home or be casual with her guest. Either of the two options he respected.

Yet again she posed a question, she was quite the inquisitive one he thought. Perhaps that was a good trait, too many people chose not to question things. I feel like I'm being interviewed, haha. Well actually, I'm a Flame God Slayer. Holding his hand out for the moment, he generated small black flames in his hands then twirled them between his fingers with ease. Closing his hand tightly, he dispersed the flames. Since you're in Lamia Scale, I assume you also use a magic. What would that happen to be? Ardere was always interested in acquiring new information, and he couldn't imagine what kind of magic she had. Perhaps it was one of the healing sort? It was just a guess after all. You wouldn't mind me asking what you planned to do while I was here would you? I don't mind sitting around and talking for a while, but if you had something you needed to do I wouldn't intrude.

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere shrugged slightly. Well, I do train often but I'd need quite a bit of room for that. Corrupted flames tend to get a bit out of hand ya know. Taking another sip of his coffee, he exhaled slightly heavily. He did sort of miss training back at the guild, but he would be home soon enough. This young woman was distracting him thoroughly anyways, which was a feat in itself. Placing down his cup off coffee, his interest was peaked at her magic. What a coincidence, I've only met one other god slayer before. He was earth actually, not a bad guy. Crossing one leg over the other, he thought to himself that he would have never expected her to be a god slayer, let alone the ice one. Looking back over to the man after her comment, he seemed to be doing fine. It was the right decision to bring him here, a hospital might not have reacted fast enough. What made him curious was how the hell a snake with a venom on that level got out here, it's color did not fit. Dismissing the though, he put it in the back of his mind. His current focus was on the lovely young woman who was letting him stay the night while he looked after the sick man.

He stood up for a moment as she seemed to walk over to her kitchen. The smell of food instantly hit his nose, causing his stomach to make a slight noise while rumbling. He had to admit, he was a bit hungry. Traveling for so long without a snack was not a good idea. Ardere was quite grateful that she offered to feed him, it was not often someone cooked for him. I'm not allergic to anything that I know of, but I'm sure we'll find out if I blow up like a balloon. Chuckling a bit, he would stay out in the living room. She didn't want him to enter the kitchen, which he didn't mind. Looking around the room a bit out of boredom, he would reach into his jacket pocket and pull out a pocket sized book on herbs. Beginning to read the book, he took in a deep breath of the aroma that came from the food. The fire mage read his book as she was cooking, flipping through the pages quickly as a speed reader.

Soon after, his host would re-enter the room with a delicious looking plate of food. Thank you very much. Taking it, he would take a deep breath before digging in. Ardere didn't go at it like some sort of savage wolf, but he was quite hungry. This is pretty good, thanks again. Continuing to eat it, having a nice home cooked meal made him happy. No one has cooked for me in....well...ever.. Being kidnapped by thieves and taken from his family as a toddler, he never got any real home cooked meals. He found it quite unfortunate, but at least he had this moment now. Pretty, smart, and a good cook. What the hell are you doing out here alone? He chuckled slightly, and even though he was making a nice little joke, the fire mage was serious. A young woman like this should have plenty of friends, or at least some. Finishing up his plate, he bowed to the lovely host. I suppose we should go check on our guy yeah? Standing up, he would walk over to the man who had been bitten and check on him.

Ardere would stare through the glass for the moment at the man, even though the machines kept an accurate monitor on him, he still preferred to see with his own eyes. Feeling slightly responsible for the man, it was in his nature to want to check on him. As much as he enjoyed the company of the young scientist, he was easily distracted by his own sense of duty at times. Exhaling slightly, he tapped his foot against the floor in a bit of anxiousness. He noticed Sayrn leaving the room, obviously for personal reasons and as such he would not pry. Folding his arms, the fire mage watched the man breathing heavily in his condition, then walked back to the couch. Seeing the young woman exit the room after a few minutes, her hair color had changed. Widening his eyes a bit in confusion, he quickly shrugged it off. Ohh. He was slightly intrigued as to why her hair color had changed like that, but perhaps she didn't like the dye she was using.

Standing near her, he couldn't help but notice the large amount of cleavage she seemed to be showing, choosing not to stare his manly instincts were saddened, but as a respectful person he did not mind at all. Responding to her statement, he seemed a bit more calm about the situation. You do your job well from what I've seen, so I'm sure he'll be fine. I just worry too much. Looking back to her hair, he nodded. Yeah it looks nice, still suits you of course. He did actually like the green, but if she was comfortable with the pink then it worked perfectly fine. Ardere still viewed her as an attractive woman either way, pink or green hair was irrelevant. Turning to her as she made another comment, he slid his hands into his pocket. Of course, I've done my fair share of reports in my time. Smiling a bit at her, he put one hand on the table as support for his leaning against it. Her log cabin was quite nice, and his horrendous posture needed support sometimes. He was surprised after being in the Rune Knights after so long that he didn't keep the posture, but perhaps he was too free spirited for that.

Looking back to the man, he straightened up a bit. Show me the paperwork, and I'll get it done.Waiting on the paper work, the fire mage tapped his fingers on the table for a moment. His foot touched hers as he walked over, but after a few seconds he quickly moved his foot back. If she turned to get the papers, his eyes would scan her entire body for the first time in a little while since they had met. He was not the perverted type in any way, but her intelligence with the attractiveness was intriguing. Ardere had dated women before, but never in a truly serious relationship. Traveling so much and being a mage was a pain for a while. In fact he rarely found himself just checking out women, normally he noticed for a moment as any guy would then moved on. Even though the two had only met earlier in the day, he had developed what he would hate to refer to as a bit of a "crush" on her. Unsure what to say to her, since he was actually not used to being taken so aback by a woman's features both physically and mentally. He was a calm and confident man, with decently valid social skills after all. I know you live out here alone, but you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend do you? He felt kind of awkward about saying it, but the way he said it portrayed confidence and genuine curiosity, which he did feel as well. As antisocial as he was, he seemed to be able to hold longer conversations with her than anyone else, perhaps other than his best friend Vendredi.

Ardere nodded. Oh, well then- He heard some voices outside, primarily due to his slayer like senses. As he began to fill out the paperwork, the voices began to clear. It got to the point to where even a person with normal hearing would be able to tell someone was talking outside. He could tell they were talking about Sayrn, almost as if they came to rob this place. The men obviously worked for someone, someone who wanted venoms. From what he could tell, this sort of thing seemed to happen to the young woman often. Fortunately for her, he was used to these kinds of situations. In fact he thrived in them. Reaching his hand over to his sword, the fire mage gripped it tightly. Clarent was a powerful blade, and he had not lost a battle with her yet. It was unfortunate he wold have to engage in battle with someone in front of the girl he was beginning to become interested in. Nodding to her, he hated to lie even without using words. Even before he was a Sabertooth mage, he could not leave someone alone to go fight an enemy, especially in their own home. That sort of thing was just not in his nature, but it did kind of harsh the nice laid back vibe he generally kept.

Sliding to the door, hopefully without her noticing. He watched as she defended her home, knocking the man into the tree. Arching an eyebrow, he sighed slightly. These men had no idea what they were walking into, two god slayers on the defensive. You unfortunate bastard. She was using her ice to defend herself, quite impressively too, but it was not enough. Noting her slow movements, he came to the conclusion this man had some sort of slowing ability. Ardere shook his head, the sad thing about magics like that was if they were surprised by an enemy they didn't even know was there, they were toast. Being a former Combat Corps Rune Knight, he was proficient in combat. He noted that Sayrn could defend herself, but she would need help, and that he could provide. Slamming his palm into the door, a burst of flames came from his hand, blasting through the door. The door split into multiple pieces due to the destructive nature of his flames, and the man was launched back as both the door and flames hit him.

Sorry about the door, needed the element of surprise. The man was rubbing his head, and groaning in pain slightly. The fire mage went to bolt towards him, but after a shimmer, he felt his body slow down. However his body was not as slow as Sayrn's was, for he was naturally faster than mages even of his own rank. Moving to avoid a knife that was coming towards him, he was in a bit of danger as he heard a squawk. Flames rained down upon the man as a phoenix flew by, causing the man to scream slightly. As the bandit or whatever he was, was hit by the flames, he felt the slowing effect wear off. Smacking the man with the flat side of his blade, he was flung into a tree with his buddy. The majestic phoenix had multiple tails, and her body glowed like a flame. Thanks Celica, go fly around the area and make sure no one else is coming. Ardere commanded the phoenix, and she nodded. Alright, I'll leave you and your lady friend to it. He could feel the sarcasm coming from his phoenix's tone, and sighed as she flew off. Walking over to Sayrn, he reached out a hand for her to grab. Sorry about that, are you okay? Ardere had grown to like the woman throughout the past few hours he had known her, and he didn't want to see her get hurt, especially since he owed her for saving the man's life in her home.

Ardere nodded at her observation as he helped her up. Yeah, I got the same idea. She seemed fine, a bit shook but quite capable of handling herself. Even so, less shook but more disappointed. She probably didn't want the fire mage to get involved in her affairs, but unfortunately it was in his nature. A sense of shock had been sent through his own body however, as the man got back up. What the..? He was positive he had hit the man with enough force to stop him, but perhaps he was wrong. Tch. Clutching his sword tightly, it seemed Sayrn wanted to take him on. Perhaps it was for the best, as their opponent resurrected his fallen comrade. The man lunged at him, but he was prepared. Putting one foot to the right, he pivoted and spun, causing his blade to go with him. Slashing horizontally at the man's chest, he saw sand come out of his body. Narrowing his eyes at this opponent, he noticed two strikes coming his way, blocking with the flat side of his blade, he pivoted again. Turning to avoid the next strike, he repeatedly stabbed his opponent. It was not in his nature to just kill, but it seemed at this point if he didn't, he would be killed himself. Sucking it up, he went into his combative state. Focusing only on his opponent, the flame god slayer's black aura began to show.

At this point, his opponent was just a zombie. Dodging another strike, he slid his blade in between the strikes of his opponent, stabbing it into his throat. Spinning around, Ardere decapitated the zombie, thus effectively defeating him. On it. After defeating the zombie man, he maneuvered around to help the pink haired woman. Whoever this man was, he wasn't going to harm her. He had failed to reach one person in time already today, that would not happen again. Running towards Sayrn, he slid around a tree to surprise his opponent and maneuvered himself behind her. He jumped over her just as the man went to strike at her with his dagger. Moving to toss a punch, he felt the shimmer slow him down, but unfortunately it was already too late for the man with daggers. As soon as he maneuvered his body to punch he would burst into flames that would launch him even faster than normal. Being fired like a rocket, black flames encased his body as his punch knocked the man through the forest and into the air. Normally the slowing would have worked, but the flames propelling him helped significantly. His body may have been slowed, but being fired like a rocket sort of canceled that. Soaring through the air, the man's body was smashed through several trees. There was a stream of flames left in his wake, but they began right where his punch connected, so Sayrn would not be harmed by them.

Looking at the man, his eyes were white. Sorry. Cracking his knuckles, he stretched his arms before following the path of destruction his spell left. Looking back to Sayrn, he made his way over to her quickly. I think that guy is taken care of, wanna go back inside? Hopefully no one else bothers you. The two men had been defeated, but there were more where they came from, he was sure. The forest around them had been scorched, with two bodies laying in her yard. I hope I didn't disturb the zen vibe your "yard" had, kinda messed up the trees a bit. Rubbing the back of his neck, he re-sheathed his sword. Fire and ice, an interesting pair he noted.

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere rubbed the back of his neck a bit, he was slightly embarrassed that he had caused such a ruckus. Sayrn however, seemed not as bothered by it, and froze the bodies of their former assailants. It's no problem Sorry about the mess again, but at least I didn't go all out, I'd have blown the whole damn thing. If Sayrn was smart, which he knew she was, she was noticed that the trees were less scorched, and more disintegrated. Black flames, the kind that came from a god, were destructive and almost corrosive. As he got stronger, he had noticed that his flames caused skin to wither away rather than just burn. Luckily he had been training to control this, or he would be even more destructive. Cracking his neck slightly, the two mages made their way back into the log cabin. He was a gentleman, so he opened the door for her, but she seemed quick to enter. Sliding in as she entered, the door was slammed. Acting slightly awkward, he tossed his sword onto the couch. Are you alright? She was acting quite strange, rushing to her lab. Dashing in to follow her, he was slightly faster than she was. He stood by the door, watching her. His eyes narrowed down, as he saw her attempting to close a wound, He couldn't exactly tell what was happening, but was slightly confused at what she said. Her blood was frozen, he thought. It was certainly possible considering her magic, but why would she do such a thing? She mentioned a cure, perhaps she was freezing her blood to slow down some disease. The thought made him respect her even more, being as clever as she was. Acting as if he heard nothing, he stood by the door.

Nodding, he shrugged. It's no problem, I've got it. Walking over to the man, he held him down. Sorry about this pal, but it's for your own good. His mind was still stuck on what he heard her say, but he didn't make it obvious he was dwelling on it. He held the man down as she administered the agent to wake him. As soon as he was given it, he popped up. Ardere kept him held down so he did not hurt anyone or himself. It's fine, just calm down. The man was breathing heavily. Just slow down, it's okay. He would relax slightly, then looked to the fire mage. I saw you on the trail. What happend?! He was obviously concerned, but the god slayer consoled him a bit. You were bit by a snake, I brought you here. You're going to be fine. The man's breathing calmed down slightly. Just take it easy, you're still in the woods. We'll get you back into town soon, you won't be here long. The man nodded. How long have I been here? I need to get back to my camp by sundown. The saberooth mage patted him on the shoulder. You haven't been here too long, you'll be back in no time. I can tell my phoenix to contact someone if you wish. The man nodded, an laid back. I'll be right outside, if you need anything just call. Looking to Sayrn, he walked out of the lab.

So how long does he have to stay here? Leaning against the wall, he asked the simple question. His eyes went to her wound, then back to her eyes. It was hard not to think about it, but the man had amply distracted him from it. Also, thanks for the help. I don't know what I'd do without you. He offered his hand to shake, which if she accepted would be the first time they would touch. As an ice mage, she would probably note that his body was warmer than most. For a man, his skin would be soft to the touch, a bit of a genetic thing as far as he could tell. Looking into her eyes, his had a fire in them, which would be commonly referred to as conviction. He was a highly motivated man, and he intended to keep it that way.

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere nodded, he found the answer she gave acceptable, and the man probably would too. Alright, an hour, not bad. Sounds good then. Looking back at the man through the glass, he seemed to be alright at the moment. The fire mage was thinking about what he had heard earlier, but he was sure she thought he didn't see or hear anything, and he intended on keeping it that way. Unless she decided to reveal something, he was more concerned about this man, and a little bit about gaining her attention. He was almost hurt that she didn't return his handshake, but he had been distracted by her smile. She seemed busy with her work anyways, the man in the room next to them was the important one anyways. Shaking his head, he tried to shake off the distraction from her smile. Keep yourself together Ard, he thought. His mind being unclear was very strange, he had always been good at being calm of mind, having meditated with monks in Midi after all. Remembering he had to fill out the paperwork, he got to it while she was in the lab helping the man. He had started it before, but there was still some to do, considering those jack asses interrupted it with their attempted robbery. Once he was done, the man seemed to be done as well. Take care of yourself pal, watch out next time you go hiking.

Waving the man off, he turned back to Sayrn. Well, yeah it is a bit late so I suppose I could stay for the day. He healed up even sooner than I thought, you are better than I had hoped. Following her, he watched as a door would open. Ardere was quite interested to know what they were trying to steal, but as a polite person he had not asked, it probably didn't help he was into the woman they were trying to rob though. He imagined they were powerful venom, perhaps the kind that could be weaponized. Looking around inside of the freezer, he was not affected by the cold luckily. I see. You probably get a lot of that crap then, a lot to put up with being out here by yourself. Nodding, he put his hand on her shoulder for a moment. It's good what you do out here. Smiling slightly, he took his hand off her, and walked over to the couch. Nodding and exhaling heavily, he shrugged. It's fine, the couch is comfy enough anyways. Giving a slight wave as she walked off, he tossed a pillow onto the couch for himself and prepared to sleep. Taking off his shirt, he stretched his arms for a moment. His pale yet very muscular physique, and tattoo were now completely revealed, flames traveling down his cheek, to his neck, and onward to his chest. Many people thought it was some kind of strange birthmark, but it was a magically imbued tattoo he got a while back. It shimmered in the light sometimes, providing an increase to both his fire magic and his reaction time. Things moved slower to him than other people sometimes, and as he got stronger he noticed this increased.

Assuming Sayrn had gone to bed, he kept his shirt off to sleep and was going to sit down. Then he noticed her enter the room, and to his surprise only in a bra and panties. He had seen women in bathing suits plenty of times before, so it was not strange, he was just surprised that she had come out as such. Ardere widened his eyes for a moment, then shook it off. Much to his liking, she wrapped her arms around him for a hug. Her body was cold, but it was actually nice. He had been warm for so long, he forgot what it was like to be nice and cool. The fire mage actually enjoyed the two temperatures clashing, running his fingers across her back slightly as they let go for the hug. It's no problem, especially for a smart good looking woman like yourself, but I think the hug certainly makes up for it. Leaning back on the couch, he put his arms over the back of the couch in a leisurely manner. Looking at her body, he tried his hardest not to stare at the parts covered by her bra and panties. I imagine it's nice and quiet out here sometimes. The Sabertooth guild hall is always...rambunctious. He looked into her eyes, pushing his hair behind his ear a bit with a pale finger. The bandits who kidnapped me as a child were very noisy as well, they used to beat me when I read. All the yelling and fighting, I kind of grew an affinity for relaxing and reading. Plus gaining knowledge is the greatest power, and as much as I try to deny it, I do enjoy a good fight. Looking deep into her eyes, he noted to himself that he didn't often reveal things about his past to people, only to Vendredi and Raven, being his friends. He also noted that he had unknowingly moved his body a bit closer to hers.

Every wound will shape me,

Ardere shook his head. That must've been hard, always on the run. He was going to make another comment, before he froze for a moment at her mention of touching the lovely body she possessed. He was not frozen with fear, he was rather amused at how forward she was. I dont mind- Then his hand was taken to her breast, and she used his own hand to squish it. Surprisingly he was calm, rather than getting over-excited he was relieved that she would allow him to do this. Using a bit of his own force, he felt her soft breast, biting the inside of his own cheek a bit. Her body felt lovely, and it had been a while since he had touched a woman. Chuckling a bit at her comment, this time he could not stop looking into her eyes. I swear, I've never met anyone like you. And I mean that in a good way, mostly. Smirking a bit, he continued to listen to her story. He was a very good listener, even though he could talk he preferred to listen. Noting the seriousness in her tone, he responded amply. Of course. Scout's honor. Nodding, he allowed her to speak.

Arching an eyebrow as she cut herself, he reacted instinctively, jolting a bit as if to go for the wound. Then when he saw what happened, he stopped. Ardere watched as rather than blood gushing out, it kind of stayed at the top, moving slowly. He had theorized she froze her own blood to stop some sort of disease, and it seemed he had been partially correct. He didn't talk too much, he just listened. I see. Perhaps Sayrn would find it strange, but the fire mage did not seem disinterested or weirded out by anything that she said. He was focused, and his body was still close to hers. Then he widened his eyes a bit at her really long tongue, it seemed to be something she could conceal, but still existed. It was a strange thought, but other than that she still seemed to be fine, and still attractive in his eyes. Being handed a folder, he skimmed through it a bit. The young pink haired woman was very devoted to fixing this problem, he could imagine why, and respected her for it. She was quite the genius after all, and that was something he liked. Hmm. He felt bad for her, she was constantly able to save people's lives and fix their problems, but she didn't seem to be able to fix her own.

You're a genius you know, freezing your own blood. But as a god slayer, it's a bit more corrupted and complex than that, and even corrosive. Perhaps you should experiment with the properties of god slayer elements a bit more, rather than just the temperature aspect. I could teach you a bit about it, an actual Godly being did train me after all. And I read so much, I've done my research. Looking deep into her eyes, there was a blazing passion in his own. I have a job as a mage, but I can visit often if you'd like, to help. Plus I can help beat off those assholes that try to steal your work. I've been alone for so long. I hate talking about it, but you get it at least. Moving closer to her, he put his right hand on her soft side. There's nothing wrong with you, you're fine just the way you are. Leaning in, he would attempt to place his lips onto hers, for a kiss. If she accepted, she would find that his body was even warmer than before. You make me want to talk a lot, it's weird. I usually don't do that. Keeping his body close to hers, he stayed looking into her eyes.

Ardere pulled back for a moment. It's alright. Wrapping his hands around her sides, he rubbed them with his thumbs. Her skin was cold to the touch, but it was softer than he had expected. Kissing her yet again, the mix of temperatures felt strange to his body. He had been with women before, but ironically not mages. He was actually a bit nervous for once, which was a strange feeling to the man made of conviction. Chuckling a bit at her statement, he pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Of course, we can. Smiling, the tattoos on his body shimmered a bit as he felt his internal heat rise. As she removed her bra, his eyes scanned down her gorgeous body. Fingers running down her sides, the god slayer bit her lower lip. Smiling ever so slightly, he replied. How about we find out? Then pulled her body close to his.

~Fade to Black~

With messy hair, and a slightly sore body, Ardere had his arms wrapped around Sayrn. The two god slayers had shared a night together, probably the best one he had in a long time. Smiling up at her a bit, he ran his fingers across her spine playfully. I would like that, very much. Planting his lips against hers, they shared another kiss. Watching her get dressed, he slid back on his boxers and pants. Looking around for his shirt, he seemed to have misplaced it. Damn-Uhh yeah sure. I like coffee, lots of sugar though. Thanks. I'll stick around for a bit if you don't mind, I've got some hours to kill before Raven gets pissed at me for being gone too long. Looking under the couch, his pale muscular physique still showing, the fire mage spotted his shirt. Snagging up the shirt, he began to button it back up. Walking over to the pink haired woman as he buttoned up his shirt, he slid his arms to her sides. Holding them for a moment, he planted soft kissed on her neck. Spinning her around, planting a kiss on her lips again, he waited for his coffee to be finished. I guess it's a good thing none of those guys came back, or else they would have come upon a sight not so pleasant for them. Finishing buttoning his shirt, he heard the noise signalling that the coffee was finished. Looking back over, he saw that his sword was still sitting near the couch. It was a habit to constantly check on it, at least he deemed it as such.
