Good to be back?

[Samaena]

Cassandra_GreySeerer: Time spent on earth with Alex had been time well spent indeed. A new place, a new life and everything had changed. It didn't change the person she was but there were so many tings she took into consideration now, how long had it been now? So much time, so much water passed under the bridge and there was so much more to learn. Her choice to remain was settled within hr mind, but there was still something she needed to do. Ties needed to be severed, a past needed to be forgotten before she could truly settle here. "Alex?" celled through the house above the sounds of the TV and the other varying noises the house made during the hours of the day. "I need a favour" she was speaking a little louder than the norm, looking for him as she paced rather casually from room to room. "Just a little one" already a smile was beginning to bloom upon her face, her grey eyes lighting with the premise of the simplicity of hr favour. What was he up to?

alexander_kheinmor* Time indeed had passed and it had indeed been a nice break away from the norm. The modern world was an escape from the idiocy and the difficulties that came from a world where there were no laws, no guidelines and the idiocy seemed to reign more so than the civility that seemed to exist with more cultured individuals. Since when did Alex care about culture? It was an odd thing to consider, but nevertheless he had thoroughly enjoyed relaxing upon the earthen plane. At the moment he was enjoying another modern triviality. A nice hot shower. The water careened down against his form and in the distance or so it seemed he heard the voice of Cassandra. It had been nice. A warm body to lie next to at night. All in all it was a wonderful bit of time spent. The shower was turned off and he stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. "A favour?" he inquired as he grabbed a smaller, hand towel. He began to dry his face and his hair as he paced out of the fog filled bathroom. It was difficult however. In the world of Ayenne, it was far easier to stand for your beliefs. To thwart the evils that lurked and threatened. Here on earth everything was guarded and bound by laws built by human men. Human individuals who felt that death was not to be determined by one, but by many. Their flawed system bothered him, but he was not the hero that many would picture him as. The name of a Kheinmor was more of a burden than it was a blessing. At least that was what he thought. He paced out and sat himself down upon the edge of the bed and draped the towel over his shoulder. Both azure eyes ascended towards the doorway of the bedroom. Their bedroom. Were they together? Did it truly matter? She was here and he had indeed done his best to take care of her. To provide for her and to keep her safe. However the smaller details did not seem important.

Cassandra_GreySeerer: "Mhmm" half a purr really as she walked in upon a half wet, half naked male. "Just a little one" already she was gesturing with forefinger and thumb as she made her approach. He looked good and smelled good and if this one thing hadn't been on her mind she might have taken advantage o the whole situation…then again, she grinned a very real and genuine grin as she amused herself with her thoughts. They had all the time in the world didn't they? In the time she had spent here she had become a different person, there were more smiles, less drama, more peace and quiet and the best part…she had Alex to talk to, be with, love; and know that he'd be there at the other side of the bed, warm and unconscious as he might have been, there was always that lazy arm to ward away the memories. - The shadows always remained, there was no discarding those, they had spoke to her of the things here on earth, they had taught her and coached her so her transition was so much easier. It hardly mattered at the moment. "Remember how you brought me here?" Her weight making her presence very well felt aside him on the bed, but she curled herself around him. Taking up the towel over his shoulder to tease away the drops of water from his muscular back. Gawd, he looked good.

alexander_kheinmor* A slender, blonde brow ascended high upon the surface of his forehead as he leaned his head to the side. A rather inquisitive look passed over his countenance as he watched her draw closer. She looked wonderful as always. A treat for the eyes indeed. However there was a matter at hand and he did listen. Even as she flirted and toyed with him. He leaned away from her and ran his tongue over his lips. "Hmm... of course I remember. It's a nice way to get around," he offered calmly. "What's your point?" he inquired. He was blissfully unaware. Things had been so calm, so at ease that not once had he thought that she might want to go back to the hell hole. To the bad, to the idiots, to the lack of nothing and the burden that seemed to be everything. Slowly he leaned forward and stood to his feet. The small towel was snatched back teasingly and he dried his hair as he ventured to the dresser. Boxers, slacks, and a shirt. All were tossed onto the bed as he dropped the towel and began to dry off. The body of a god, of course. Well built, well formed. Finely tanned flesh, his blonde hair was smoothed back along his head. His features were as youthful and beautiful as always. His father's son indeed. His frame was cut, chiselled perfectly. A fine specimen of a man indeed. The only problem was that he knew it. It wasn't so much that he was arrogant. It was that he was confident and arrogant. It was easy to mix the two up. He slid the boxers on and then began to tug the khakis up onto his lower frame. He arched his back and stretched out his arms. "Hmm... well... “He offered as he slid his hands down to the shirt. It was slung over his shoulder as he awaited her response.

Cassandra_GreySeerer: That was just a tease. She was only trying to be helpful…drying his back and all, wasn't she? As he stood she threw herself back onto the bed they shared and looked to the heavens…blowing a strand of hair away from her nose, failing in her attempt; Her hand coming then to rub at her face, to bring her from those torturous thoughts no matter how good they were. Cass simply rolled onto her stomach and kicked up her legs to watch Alex dress…Damn flirt. But wasn't that how they were? Half the fun, the chase? There were no qualms over watching him at all, no shame in letting her eyes roam his form…loving him just that little bit more as she stood so casually and questioned her point once again. "Uhm…” he really knew how to distract her didn't he?”Yeah that was it" hurriedly covering her distraction, rolling back and then sitting to put herself before him. Oh yes, Earth had done her well enough so far. She had colour, she smiled more, she looked and felt better in herself, there was no family to interfere…but it was just another tie she had to sever, wasn't it. "I'd like you to show me how to do it." Ebon was coaxed away from her face and behind her ear. She was as serious as a heart-attack as she had asked. "I need to see the end of a few things. I don't want to go back to stay but it gives me another choice. I love it here"- with that a smile came once more and she reached to tease away from his face a rogue strand of that dirty blonde. "That is if you'll let me have a permanent place here" yes she knew she could not bind him to his own home, nor did she want to…but the same went for both of them didn't it?

alexander_kheinmor* That same brow arched high upon his brow. "It's not something I can exactly teach you...” he offered.”I gained it from an avatar...” he paused and considered his words carefully. "Call it a ... blessing." he said with a shake of his head as he tugged the black shirt on. It was long sleeve, no collar. It looked good on him He definitely knew how to dress. He sat down on the bed and began to put his socks on. When she mentioned that she had to head back he chuckled a bit and sighed. "Well I suppose it's about that time. Are you sure that you want to head back?" he inquired. "I can take you if you'd like. And if you want to come back that's fine." he stated. "Besides I should head back and see how the old man's doing anyway," he offered as he began to lace up his black shoes. He slid his hands down the surface of the pants and leaned forward. He stood to his feet and ventured towards his dresser to dab on some cologne. "Hmm...” he thought inwardly as he glanced back towards her. "Sure... that's fine. We can leave when you're ready." he offered rather easily. As he put the top back onto the small bottle and sat it back onto the surface of the dresser. "Do you know where you're going once we get back?" he inquired. The concept of her going back to her family seemed almost ridiculous after all. As many issues and troubles that they brought to the table. However he wouldn't bring that up. Not now at least. It was just as well, he wasn't going to keep her here against her will.

Cassandra_GreySeerer: There was no hiding the disappointment she felt as her request was declined. So she could not be taught…or blessed with the gift herself but he was ready and willing to take her. It wasn't as though she wanted to involve him in anything at all to do with her family. She was done with them, all of them and that included her one true love. Her Angel. Did she regret what she had done? The expression on her features changed from those of light to something that resembled the dark…the dark she knew so well. In fact she turned away from him for the moment. "No. I'm not sure" but there were things unsaid, things left undone and things she had to be free of. "I'd need to go back to The Grove" her voice was fading; as those memories creased her brow with the frown she had been trying to hide "Let me get my jacket" she was moving from the room then. She'd left it on the back of the couch when she had come back last and that was where she'd find it. Did she really want to go back? Despite what she knew she had to face? - When push came to shove did she really have to go? It was a want, a curiosity she had to quench…and Alex had said he had to see how his family were so…going over the thoughts she weighed up the pro's and the cons'. The stairs were taken two at a time, her jacket slung over her shoulder as she strolled languidly back into the room now drenched with the scent of his cologne. "Ready…but I don't want to stay too long. I just want to deal with it and be done" Yes she wanted to come back here…a place she was beginning to grow comfortable with calling her home. Even more comfortable knowing there was someone to come 'home' to. Small luxuries her kind rarely afforded.

alexander_kheinmor* There was more drama back there, but his family was there as well. With father no longer having a family he wondered deeply how he was doing. Just the same it would be good to see his own father. The features of his face were contemplative at best. "Well then I suppose we go," he offered as he watched her venture off to get her jacket. Just the same he ventured to his own closet and retrieved his duster. His blade just the same was gathered up and held within his grasp. When she returned he was ready. The jacket upon his frame and his blade in hand. "ready?" he inquired with a faint smile. He took hold of her by the waist, tugged her close against his frame and pressed his mouth to hers ever so gently. And by the time that the kiss was finished. She would be standing nearly half a mile away from the grove. The winds could be felt upon his face. The release of power, as the shackles of the modern world were diminished. "Good to be back," he said sarcastically as he looked around him. "I'll wait here for you," he said as he descended and took a seat in the tall grass. He would wait for her patiently. However he had no intentions of going with her to her family. However if she did ask it of him. Indeed he would go. It was not out of obligation, it was out of concern, it was out of care. Indeed he did trust her, there was affection. Even love, no he would not let her go alone. Though as far as he knew it. She truly needed to do this alone.

Cassandra_GreySeerer: It was all drama she didn't need back where she came from, where they came from and she was not about to start creating it now before she had even set foot back on home turf. Nodding and stepping close as she stated he was ready, there was no hesitation to wrap her arms around his neck, nor was there any recoil from the kiss, a kiss she gave everything she could, the little things she never could seem to be able to say. Why did it always seem quicker on the way home? Maybe she had wanted that kiss to last a little longer…but as the winds caught her hair and the familiarity of the atmosphere of the place…even half a mile away was enough to have her release Alex and take a good look around. Find her bearings…but her gaze lay where she knew the Castle stood in the distance. Alex's words were almost lost to her but she was disagreeing. "Not really” good to be back? She didn't feel it at the moment but what she had left behind was once again becoming known to her. The whispers in the shadows, the stirring in the earth and the lure of the Grove, calling to her. "No" she turned to face him. Even crouching to meet him at his level so he could see and feel the sincerity she wanted him to, needed him to. "Go see Jao, I'll come find you when I'm ready" she was asking him really though her tone lacked the question. This time it was her turn to lean closer to give the last of her warm within a small kiss placed firmly upon his lips. "Please?" the question completed as she pulled away. She wasn't sure how long it would take but the quicker they got things sorted, each their own businesses. The sooner they could go home.
