You again?

[Guest]

Oh Gelemorte! How long had it been since she visited the place of sweet air? A tourist indeed for the warming weather. Part of being a pirate was exploring such fun and random regions! Her heartbeat fluttered and she took in another swallow of the fresh air, though slightly salty as the whole country was. A bitter taste in her mouth cleared away by the sweetest taste of a beverage in her hand. Fruity drink and umbrellas, a sun hat, daisy duke shorts and a tied, plaid red top completed a rather odd look. Her sleeves were rolled up to her upper arms, pinned to keep them off of her skinny arms. Even her hair was pulled into a sort of foreigner look, pigtails she had forced her curly strawberry-blond hair into. Freckles looked as if her creator simply sprinkled them over her cheeks and nose. Heels sported her dainty feet, completing the ensemble with straw-colored straps on heels of a tan color, three inches high, tipping to her painted toe nails. A band of gold on her wrist and painted fingernails.

Her son was away for now. Her sister had taken him claiming Katyuun needed to let the boy stay alone with family more often and get out and do something fun. Well, she had a little problem with that and sure she missed her son, but she'd been shoved away so the boy could be taken to a park with his uncle and aunt. Kata was told to go look around the shops and so far she found the shades on her face and the sunhat, not to mention her fruity drink that tasted like heavenly nectar. Oh the way the sun rolled down her exposed skin was simply divine and the heated feeling made her feel generally happy. At first the lack of humidity was a bit of a startle, but she'd been down here before, long ago. It was not that new to her, on occasion she'd visit her sister and her husband to sight see. Today just happened to be on her own.

Her blue eyes swayed back and forth over buildings with intrigue. Sweet sights filling her irises from couples to small animals. This place was definitely one of her favorites. She considered for a moment finding a summer home here, but the farmhouse in Carraig was plenty enough for her. The smile played at her lips, natural and a gentleness in the sway of her each step. Tightly clung; a bag to her shoulder of cream color. Today was good.

Click, click. Her heels hit the road as she crossed the street to look at a nearby fruit-stand. The delectable sweet and tartness was tempting. Maybe one would suffice. A conversation later and she gave a man the money for it. Of course her terrible Rouenian was leaving the vender almost in tears. She blushed and found her own terrible linguistics just as amusing, before she walked away with a wave. A bit of fruit later and she was savoring it ALMOST as much as her nearly empty drink. Her taste buds were simply VIVID with flavors each unique. Her stomach did a jump and she felt an overwhelming joy. Oh how she loved simple things like this.

[Bronze Degan]

HE WAS FINALLY BACK!! It may have taken, almost a year to get home again but he had managed it!!! Ohh god how he had managed it!! Now the only question was should he go visit the palace... Or not?See Bronze knew people would expect him to do things as soon as he got there, and in all honesty he just wanted to kick back and relax for a few days before he had to deal with any sort of responsibility SOOOOO Bronze had decided to spend the next few days just chilling. Wolfy would TOTALLY understand! Its wasn't like the guy actually knew when he was coming and going! Soo... A few days of leave would not be the end of the world. Though maybe more coherent higher ups would be a tad peeved... But eh he was in good with the king kinda sorta. Or at least he thought he was! And since thinking was half the battle he was already half way to being right!! His mom would be proud... He was putting the power of positive thought to work!

So he had wondered off the boat, caught a train to vaingloria and hit up his favorite haunts. That had been almost a week ago and he still felt no need to go see his king! Did that make him a deserter? No. It just made him lazy, at least to lazy to go and deal with the real world.'But it was getting to about the time he should have checked in..."fuck it one more day wont hurt them or me that much."

At least he hoped so! Ether way he found him self wondering around one of the little market areas, with everyone shouting and yelling about their wears, it was one of those things he could just not get enough of. "Tis the simple pleasures that make life so worth living!" His voice was raised to the heavens and a moment later the heavens answered back.

They answered in the form of a remarkable beauty who caught his eye from across the square. Now the fact that he skipped over more skimpy dress ladies said a whole hell of a lot!! Those eyes, that skin HER HAIR!! It just screamed "COME TALK TO ME!!" though she didn't looks like she was from around here... So his reputation wouldn't precede him! Ohh yes...Now that made him smile!

So with a smile and a little bit of a dance he made his way towards her, grabing an apple along the way just so he had something rather random in common with her. He wore mostly nondescript cloths, a bare of black jeans, a plain green tee-shirt and a green hoody jacket with fake fur trim around the hood. As he reaches her he gives her a once over and makes a rather fast judgment call."Well hello there, im not sure if you know me but my names Bronze, and im not really that big of a deal." He smiles and holds out his hand to shake hers. "I totally hope im not making a complete ass of my self, but it would be great to meet your acquaintance" Ohh god he hoped she spoke this language....

[Guest]

Just as Katayuun was walking, a man came up to her. His hair a dark brown, pulled back, dark green clothes, black pants. The oddest marking on his face.. something about him.. spoke familiarity. She lowered her shades a moment, watching his lips move while he spoke. "Well hello there, im not sure if you know me but my names Bronze, and im not really that big of a deal. I totally hope im not making a complete ass of my self, but it would be great to meet your acquaintance" His hand was offered to her, to shake. Of course she wouldn't say no, but it amused her that he assumed the language she knew. What a judgmental choice! Stereo-typing? Honestly! It made her want to speak in a separate language altogether, just to throw him off. However, most people were multi-tongued. So she decided to just switch it up a bit.

"How rude! Assuming I am Creig." She spoke with mock insult, yet her eyes glittered with amusement. Her obvious accent was obvious and the way she smiled told a secret shared only between the two. Now if she could just place that face. Her brow furrowed and she thought a bit before smiling a bit more, "Bronze you say?" She switched back to Creig, more comfortable with the language. Besides in every language she knew, there was that accent that haunter her sentences. It was pretty obvious she was Creig, after all, she had red hair, freckles and green-blue eyes. Her lips pulled into a soft smile.

She found him kind of cute. The way he went out of his way to speak to her, though why she wouldn't know. Men were kind of odd from her experiences. Taking another bite of her fruit, she looked at his own. Was he a fruit lover too? That was always a good thing. A hand brushed her bangs aside and she released the grip on his hand. "Not an asshole, sir. It's.. endearing to know you're observant." Her words flowed sweetly before she continued. "My name is Katayuun. It is a pleasure to meet you, Bronze." The way she smiled was a bright one. She thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. The wind blew and she pulled her sunglasses away from her eyes and placed them in her back.

Sun licked at her skin some more. The day was getting hot and she wanted to not stay in the same spot. Her hand motioned as she spoke once more. "Walk with me?" She still wanted to look around after all. There was a lot more she hadn't seen. A lot more to actually see. Maybe he'd be a little tour guide for her? Her hand pulled the strap higher on her shoulder and her eyes looked around at the bustling city. "It's been a while and I'm still unsure what is all around here."

[Bronze Degan]

She took his hand and for a second Bronze thought he was in the clear, at least until she started speaking that is."How rude! Assuming I am Creig." His smile almost left his face, had he made a mistake? Was he wrong? And thats when he realized she had an accent!! Not just any accent but a cerig one!! "Well i guess i deserved that now didn't I?" Her grips was strong yet delicate, and he had to wonder how such dainty hands could manage that!! He would chuckle a little and dancing green eyes, bet dancing green eyes. Now that he was closer and had managed a good look at her... Something seemed familiar about her. But for what ever reason he could not put her face to a name!! "Bronze you say?" He smiled and nodded his smile growing a little as he looked at her."Well my names Marcus but people have been calling me bronze for the longest time.... This may sound just a tad bit odd, but have we met before?" He could have sword he would remember a woman as pretty as this, but everyone had an off day or two in their lives so that must have been it.

She lets go of his hand and looked at the apple he held gripped in his hand, and he had a moment of internal victory! It had been a long shot but it seemed that the apple had served its true purpose, well one of them at least! He was just getting more hungry as he snaked on it! "Not an asshole, sir. It's.. endearing to know you're observant." Ohh he was endearing now was he? Well that was by far better then being an ass hole!! It seemed he some how managed to get on this lovely ladys good side!! As well as make one hell of a first impression! "My name is Katayuun. It is a pleasure to meet you, Bronze." Katayuun? Well that tickled his brain in the oddest way... But he still could not place her. It kinda bothered him but meh he wouldn't let it show."I can honestly say Katayuun, that the pleasure is all mine." He winks and bows a tiny bit then, his eyes never leaving hers.

AS the sun cleared the clouds over heard, he couldn't help but think of how beautiful this woman was... He had seen many a pretty girl before, but something about this ones aura(As his mother would have said) made him feel alive. Well more alive then he usually did! "Walk with me?" Blink. Well that was usually his line!! He had to stop him self from jumping u and down with what would have been childish joy! Finally a woman who wasn't bashful! He chuckled a little and straitened his smile growing a tad bit larger. She adjusted her cloths some before going on. "It's been a while and I'm still unsure what is all around here."

Well if that wasn't an opening he didn't know what was!! Still he couldn't seem TOO eager."Well i could show you around a little if you like, in fact id love to!! But i have to go check in at the palace... If you wouldn't mind walking with me there, i can take you on a grand tour of this fair city!" He winks again his bronze hallowed eyes glittering in the sunlight "And trust me when i say, ill give you the best tour you can find~If you like to have fun that is~"

[Guest]

"Well my names Marcus but people have been calling me bronze for the longest time.... This may sound just a tad bit odd, but have we met before?" It was one thing for just her to feel that way, but if he was too- Then that meant something more was here. Had they bumped into each other before? Had they actually known each other. The name Marcus was so familiar and yet- Why couldn't she place it? Her eyes dipped and her brow furrowed. She couldn't- recall. This left her deep in thought, wondering what it could be that was appealing to her memory. What was that familiar voice, scent the eyes?

Walking didn't ease her mind. It was bothering her, completely and full-heartedly. She wanted to know. Half of his words were lost to the wind while her mind strained to remember. So many people, she had met and yet, why did this one stand out so? "If you wouldn't mind walking with me there, i can take you on a grand tour of this fair city! And trust me when i say, ill give you the best tour you can find~If you like to have fun that is~" He had winked at her. Wait- where had they been going? She smiled warmly, belying her chaotic mind-frame. It was second nature to smile, submit into the sweet warmness that came with every day. Darn it! She murmured in her head. Why was he so familiar and yet- so long ago that-- Wait...

Her eyes lit up a moment and for a second she wondered. Was it out of blue? Completely. But her heart told her to follow these slight whims she had. It wasn't normally in her nature, but she stopped walking. Her head turned and she stared at him with an analyzing look. As if frustrated or upset. However she wasn't at all. Her hand moved to rest on his cheek and she smiled for a fleeting moment before speaking. "That's all fine, but- I need to test something. Hold still.." She leaned in, her lips neared his own, but at last moment-

She couldn't do it. What if she was wrong? Her heart raced and everything collapsed. It felt like theft, something she shouldn't do and suddenly a pain slid into her chest. Was it his fault? Was it hers? Nothing made sense. Well so much for an enjoyable vacation. Caught in the realm of memory with the key and chest, not the courage to unlock it. Red covered her face as a growing sea while she pulled her hand away, whole body attached. "Sorry.. You had something on your cheek." It was only sort of a lie. She had her hand on his cheek.. but they both knew that's not what she meant. "I should probably go." Her voice spoke, stiffening as she turned away. The pain sank more. Faintest memories how could she have not recalled the face sooner?

Her arms crossed tighter to her chest. That wasn't something she wanted to talk about, something she'd locked up for a while. A bad decision and probably a broken heart. It all had come rushing back, the arguments, the kisses, holding hands and- experimenting...Her face reddened further and she found she wasn't moving, she'd just turned away. How foolish she felt. Did he know? Clearly not, it was long ago, now. The whole game ended as soon as HE had come into the picture.. yet she couldn't hate that man no matter how hard she tried. She took a shaky breath and bit into her fruit once again, the taste more bitter than it had been. A conflict within she didn't want to face and altogether the man was not in her mind. If only for a few seconds, she forgot he was even there. "Marcus Degan.." She would murmur, wincing the feeling if it on her lips.

[Bronze Degan]

Shining. Thats the next thing he noticed as they moved down the street, neck in neck, their foot falls coming at the same time. It was odd, they seemed to fall into a grove so easily, with what seemed like no effort. But they where strangers, or where they? That feeling just seemed to grow as they moved, and it nagged at him. Was it the way she moved? Spoke? Looked? A combination of all three? Or was he just high and didn't know it? A combination of all four? So many questions and so few answers to be found. Though the most important question he could think of right then and there was, Why the hell was he so fixated on this tiny memory glitch?!?! It wasn't like him, it wasn't like him at all. Though he guess they all had their off days, when one did things that where both unexpected and off the wall. "That's all fine, but- I need to test something. Hold still.." What? WHAT!? She was leaning in close, and his eyes locked on hers and for the first time in a long time, he froze. Was she going to kiss him? It was so random, so out of the blue, so random. But that had never, ever stopped him, or froze him in place like this.

His eyes where hungry, and he saw a faint blush come to the womans face. Her hand on his cheek felt so odd, was there a tingle? A jolt? Her lips where so close, if only he could lean in and let his lips meet hers. But no, he was stunned. "Sorry.. You had something on your cheek." She pulls her hand away and with it she moved away. What had changed? "And here i was thinking you just wanted a taste of my apple, sad day!" He sounds a tad confused but he manages to mask most of it.

"I should probably go." No. That just wasn't an option!! Not when this feeling kept nagging at him! Most definitely not when he had the attention of such a beautiful woman! He would never have forgiven him self if he let that happen! So he moved after her as she started away."Im sorry to say i cant let you go!! I promised to show you around the city! And i never break a promise!" His voice was joking and fun and he had a twinkle in his eye."You dont want to turn me into a lair now do you?"

She says his name then... Why does it sound like it causes her pain?"Heh mst people don't like Marcus, so just call me Bronze!! Hell come up with your own name for me if you want! Just don't leave me hanging all by my lone some!" Yet again his voice was joking, and calming. Trying to put her at ease.
e hopped it would work.

Katayuun...Youd think that such an interesting name would stick out in his mind. But no. Not this time, and he would be damned if he let her escape before he knew how he knew him!!! Once his mind was set to something, nothing in hell or earth could get him to fail.

[Guest]

"And here i was thinking you just wanted a taste of my apple, sad day!" Haha. He was a cutie. Those words made her giggle some, just over how.. cute he sounded. It was one of the oddest things to say after an almost kiss. Almost as if he was trying to smooth out any awkwardness. His eyes had been hungry, wanting the kiss, longing for it and in all honesty she had too. Perhaps that was why she felt so uncomfortable. She WANTED to kiss him, but she wasn't sure- Paranoia, it didn't normally eat at Katayuun, but when it did, it sure messed things up. She second guessed herself and retreated from the idea.

"Im sorry to say i cant let you go!! I promised to show you around the city! And i never break a promise! "You dont want to turn me into a lair now do you?" Wasn't he such a dear. He wanted to keep a promise. It seemed so odd. He certainly was the talker though. A simple fact of life that she was entranced by his rather perky attitude. Even after she spoke his name in a dark way, it was all null to the simple eagerisms from this man. The twinkling eyes, the sweet smiles. It was hard to tell him no.

"Heh most people don't like Marcus, so just call me Bronze!! Hell come up with your own name for me if you want! Just don't leave me hanging all by my lone some!" Well.. that wasn't exactly what she had been thoughtful on. The more he spoke, the more familiar he seemed. Was this man who she thought he was? Was her mind just messing with her? Those eyes though.. They looked familiar, so unique. Her heart sort of fluttered. The way he spoke made her comfortable, almost melting her. Her cheeks warmed some and she stared into his eyes. Those gorgeous eyes. She managed a smile at him, through her vivid blush.

Though she had felt awkward. The man was someone from her past, she was sure, but who he was- that was something else. She couldn't leave. "Alright." Katayuun spoke softly. Her eyes closed a moment, then reopened a second later. If he wanted to show her around still after the awkward moment, who was she to say no? Laughing a little, she grabbed his hand with both of hers and smiled a bit. "Lead the way, Marcus." It felt good. The way his name rolled off of her tongue. It was exciting nonetheless. Normally her tour guide was her older sister who ranted about the importance of every single thing. This one seemed more promising, not to mention he was rather soothing on the eyes (of course that was an inner thought).

[Bronze Degan]

That sweet, sweet smile was almost enough to send him threw a metaphoric loop. It seemed his words had helped change her mind and if anything her blush had gotten all the brighter!! Now why was that? He had not said or done anything remarkably blush worthy... Yet. So he had to wonder why she was acting this way. But the mystery's of a woman's mind where far from being comprehensible to Bronze(Him being a man and all that) so it was best to just not dwell on this that where just plain IMPOSSIBLE to understand. Though that didn't stop him from wondering at what made women tick. Or what made them so damn irresistible, he honestly wanted to know!! It had to be more then nature just HAD to be!! Ahh well he could throw it up to magic, or alchemy, or something else for now... But before he died he would know just why he loved women so!! "Alright." She took his hand in hers, with eyes that seemed to shine. Well he would have fallen over, but she was holding on to him and it was just plain rude to pull someone down with you!! So like the boss he was he managed(If just barely) to keep his feet.

"Lead the way, Marcus." Her words sent shivers threw his spine and he couldn't help but smile and laugh just a little, his own eyes shining as he stared into hers."Well i can never resist a lady." So with his hand in hers he started to pull her along with him. He knew he said he had important business at the palace... But he didn't want to deal with that right then!! "You know what? All work and no play makes Marcus a dull boy... So why dont we go play hmm?"

He honestly didn't see this woman saying no to a little wild partying but hey, one never really knew how another would react so one had to take chances. IF there was one thing Bronze just loved to take(Aside from drugs of course) it was CHANCES! Hence his mild disdain for all things safety related. From seat belts to condoms he just hated using them!!

Now he really didn't have any destination in mind but as he walked with her he committed on random important and not so important places. He told her about the people he knew, and what people thought they knew about the people he knew. All in all he gossiped and had a remarkably good time.

By the time an hour had passed they found them selves outside a rather... Rocking cafe. The place seemed to be jam packed with people of almost every verity, and Bronze could just make out why. It seemed that people where jaming out and playing music all over the little bar!! He could see people dancing, laughing and having all sorts of fun. So with a smile and a wicked look in his eye he look at Kata."Looks like our type of place... Care to check it out?"

[Guest]

"Well i can never resist a lady." Oh wasn't he cute? Unable to resist a lady? Some things never changed. From what she could recollect, Marcus was always one to try and impress the ladies, even how many years ago was it? Eight years.. Nine? She couldn't really tell how long ago it was, anymore, nor did it matter. It was the now time. Though, some things really DID never change. It was kind of a sad situation, but it was oddly amusing at the same time. He couldn't recall and yet, she could.Though, she was amazed that she could remember. It was never a thing before for her (remembering).

That strong hand began to lead her away into the Gelemortian city. "You know what? All work and no play makes Marcus a dull boy... So why dont we go play hmm?" With that said he smiled and led her off into a whole separate direction than the palace. Her laugh resonated a moment as she followed, not arguing wit the change of mind. After all, she was always up for fun, which could involve a drink or two. THAT was never a bad thing. Though she could go without alcohol, that didn't mean she couldn't indulge when the time came (even though she had the problem of not knowing when to stop). Her eyes gazed upon the world with interest, taking in his foreign land to her memory.

A whole hour had passed like nothing, though she couldn't help but comment on how he didn't seem like he knew where he was going. A playful prod and a walk full of conversation. Kata was having a remarkable time, hanging out with an old flame. She never imagined missing someone that had been gone for so long, but somehow it happened. Only by hanging out with him, did she realize how much she missed hanging out with him. Her hand was still held within his.

He led them to a rather interesting looking cafe. Something she wasn't one to go to dressed like-like THIS. She looked at him with a sort of self conscious gaze. Her mind raced as she felt concerned. Could she go in a cafe dressed like this? This was not her dining outfit! She looked so- regular! Her nose scrunched with her thinking face. Well it wasn't like, she'd be coming there often. After all, she was just a tourist, so she would likely just be a face for them all and a memory that would be faded with drugs and alcohol.

"Looks like our type of place... Care to check it out?" She laughed softly and smiled. "Alright, sounds good." Her stomach growled a bit loudly and her eyes dipped to her reddened cheeks. "Aha. Walking around with you, sure has gotten me an appetite, anyways. I could use a translator. Some of these people laugh at my Rouenian. It really is terrible!" Her arm moved from holding hands to wrapped around his arm, head rested on his shoulder. She didn't need anything much, but something more than nothing!

[Bronze Degan]

"Alright, sounds good." Well dfuh it sound good to her!! He could tell she was a girl who liked to drink, party and just have a fun time!! That would be like asking him if he wanted to toke up!! It was just common sense, plain and simple! But what was it his grand daddy used to say? Common sense aint so common? Bronze thought about that for a second a let out a tiny laugh. The old man was so right. though he would never tell him that to his face. The man was old and had an inflated openion of him self(Kinda like Bronze) And it just didn't need to be fed any more. The old man was a fun enough guy... He just took him self a little TO seriously. It was more then a tad annoying at times... Why was he thinking about his grandfather at a time like this? Was he flustered? WAS HE?! No of course not!! He Was Marcus Degan, international man of mystery! A super spy like him just couldn't be flustered... "Aha. Walking around with you, sure has gotten me an appetite, anyways. I could use a translator. Some of these people laugh at my Rouenian. It really is terrible!" He thought back to the few things he had heard her say and laughed a little! No he more then laughed, he chuckled and it happened to be a deep belly chuckle."It's bad is i? Well its a good thing i can speak it well enough for both of us you sweet sweet girl!!" The flawless way he switched from language to language was just a tad impressive "but anyways i think we can grab a bite to eat here..."

He opens the door into the crowded bar and fallows her in his eyes scanning for some sort of open table, but the bar being as crowded as it was he had a better chance of winning the lottery, or finding a live Banana Man inside the walls of Vaingloria!! Though what made his hackles rise was the fact that every red blooded male seemed to be staring with hungry eyes towards his would be date.

So if they liked pretty things well.... With a flick of his wrists he made a tiny bright flash of light right where Katas ass would be, and was rewarded with socked cries and curses. Chuckling to him self he spots what may have been a diamond in the rough. A table that had just then been vacated. He hurried over and sat down before any of his would be competitors swooped in and stole it!!

"And now...We wait for a waitress to get her lazy bum over here!!" Ahh well he leaned back took a deep breath and suddenly the words SERVICE NEEDED appeared above their heads."If that doesn't get their attention, nothing will and we are doomed to waste away and become shallow husks!"

Okay maybe he was being just a tad dramatic but that was who and what he was and he wasn't going to try and hide it! Hell his drma added spice to peoples daily lives and in the end they ether cursed him, or praised him and in all honesty he didn't care which."Heh i still can't shake the feeling that i know you... IS their something your not telling me?" His words where playful and just a tad bit teasing.

[Guest]

"C'est grave? Eh bien c'est une bonne chose que je peux parler assez bien pour nous deux que vous sweet girl sweet!"

Ehhh? She got some of that. It sounded like a very cheesy line though and she laughed a bit, covering her lips. Though, initially she was stunned by the way he so fluently spoke the words. Truly Rouenian was a romantic language, but in this instance, it just sounded kind of.. silly! Oh well, she didn't mind. It was frustrating though that she could hear such a fluent language and only catch a small bit of it. Some words were obvious but most of them flew over her head and made her look at him almost pathetically. A look that said ''I have no clue what you just said."
"But anyways i think we can grab a bite to eat here..." Such a show off. The way he was switching languages was impressive, but did she feel so much.. less than him. She wished she had something she could be flashy about and yet.. all she could really respond to was if there was a bar fight. Or someone shouting 'IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE'. Everything else she could do was better left in the bedroom behind closed doors. Not like she had a lot of well she had but not as far as THAT. Private dancing was a practice and she didn't like to do it in front of lots of people. It could get embarrassing at times.

For some reasons the men were all groaning and hissing and Marcus was smiling, for what reason, she didn't know. Kata gave him an odd and confused look, but didn't really notice anything. Her eyes focused at looking around at the various tables and people behind them. The couples happy and not so happy were enjoying their meals and casting rude glances as if they were nudists at a formal event. Not that she really cared, haters gonna hate, was that the phrase? Maybe not.. it sounded really odd coming from herself, so she didn't say a word about it. Instead, she acted as if her mind never said a thing.


"And now...We wait for a waitress to get her lazy bum over here!! If that doesn't get their attention, nothing will and we are doomed to waste away and become shallow husks!" Pfffffttt.. He was just a show off. Then again, he always had been. Her eyes looked at the sparkling lights that spelled 'service needed' in all capitals and simply shook her head. What was she supposed to say to that? He really was a card worth laughing at. How amusing, he was just so.. odd and random. As if he were foreign to the rules of society. Oh well, she was enjoying herself. In the end, that was all that mattered.. right? Hm.. she wasn't so sure.

"Heh i still can't shake the feeling that i know you... IS their something your not telling me?" Aaa... he was finally catching onto that too? Her eyes batted twice and she smiled sweetly, as if hiding something. "I don't know, maybe?" She winked at him and laughed softly as the waitress approached with a disgruntled look. Katayuun have almost a challenging look to Marcus, wondering what he would think now. Would he figure it out on his own or would she have to literally spell it out for him? Most amusing.. "A water please." Kata spoke softly in Cretan, forgetting that the woman probably didn't speak at it.

[Bronze Degan]

A batting of eye lashes and a sweet(MAybe to sweet) smile could only mean one things. She was gonna play coy. GOD DAMN IT SHE WAS GOING TO PLAY COY!"I don't know, maybe?" Was that a wink? GOD DAMN IT!! SHE WINKED!! She was playing coy... Some days Bronze just... JUST hated being right and today seemed to be one of those days. But it could be worse... She could order water to drink. "A water please." GOD MAN IT!! No... That wasn't right. GOD DAMN IT!! He had jinxed him self. Jinxed him self yet again and as he started to order for him self he noticed the waitress blinking dumbly. This was his chance to strike!!"The lady will have a screwdriver~~And ill take a Rum and coke please~~" He could just say he didn't hear her right...Ya that was believable right? Right. So he turned his smile back to his rather carming companion and let his eyes roam the soft curves of her body before quickly returning to her eyes."Did i already ask why you've graced our most charming nation with your rather flowery presence? Because most wemon i know would rather go vacation in Esparia for what ever reason..."

As he spoke their drinks where set on the table between them and Bronze stopped speaking fora moment to just saver the taste of that most godly of drinks."Ohh and you said you wanted a bite to eat right? Anything in particular in mind or should i surprise you?" Now as playful as he was being(Which was to say vary) he made sure that she knew all his attention was on her. Now he knew that didn;t work for some ladies, but the vast majority really enjoyed being the center of attention if only for a little while, and as the man well its was kinda his job to make the woman feel like the center of attention. Otherwise his chances for nookie drastically fell.

Not that he was just looking for nookie, but it sure as hell helped motivate him and any other male and most females took advantage of that when ever they could manage. That plus the fact that she was playing coy made him think his chances for some sinful indulgence where higher then normal. Bronze was more then fine with that.

He could feel his blood quicken as she moved her body, every small motion accenting another part of her. It was as if every move she made was made to entice him, and if that wasn't the case when she tried he would be doomed to fall for it."But really... What little secret are you hiding, im just dying to know."

[Guest]

"Did i already ask why you've graced our most charming
nation with your rather flowery presence? Because most wemon i know
would rather go vacation in Esparia for what ever reason..." Err... Esparia wasn't so great. It was one of those few places that Katayuun didn't visit. She didn't have any family there, oddly enough. Not even the slightest inkling of language was in her vocabulary. Except maybe taco. She didn't count that, though. "My sister lives around here." Katayuun admitted with ease. "I come to visit a few times a year."

"Ohh and you said you wanted a bite to eat right? Anything in particular in mind or should i surprise you?". She had to think a few minutes on it. Her drink had been delivered and the delicious taste of not-water was on her tongue. She captured the straw easily and tried it again, to no avail, still tasted like alcohol. Well okay then, she wasn't going to complain. After all, the drink had been purchased already, might as well enjoy it. As the straw pulled free, Katayuun looked thoughtful. What did she want to eat? "I'll just take a club sandwich." She stated the first thing that had come to mind. It was common as a food, so it was likely they'd have some type. She'd get the man to split it with her, likely. The club sandwiches were normally huge at restauraunts.

"But really... What little secret are you hiding, im just dying to know." Her eyes lit up a bit, devilish glint behind them. He wanted to know the secret? How bad, she wondered. Slipping from her seat she would walk over to him. Her body leaned forward, pumping her chest basically in his face while she grinned at him. "You really want to know?" She asked rhetorically. Her hand moved, one upon the table, fingers spread, the other rested on his cheek. Oh, how much fun she could have with this man. It was almost TOO good for her. Kata had many years to perfect teasing and tonight she could put it to work. Torture the poor fool. Not that she minded, he was as hot as he'd always been in her memories and yet-

"Let me remind you~." She cooed, as her thumb slid along his cheek. Gently, achingly so, forward. Subtle curves pressed to his in a deep embrace. Pink upon his own lips while she pulled him almost roughly towards her. A knee moved as if on its own, to rest on his lap. She half-straddled him, moving to rest her other arm on his shoulder. Her bosoms, now pressed to his chest tightly. After a second, her eyes looked at him, lidded and deeply. A smirk playing as she gave a flicker of a challenge. "Bed, sheets ripped in my hands... The way your hair was such a mess and my cloth scattering the floor? The way I moaned your night, both of us terrified that our parents could walk in at any second." Again she swallowed his lips into another kiss. As she pulled away, she'd mock moan for him.

"You remember yet? Or do I need to 'remind' you a bit more?" Her right hand moved, down his neck and chest. Soft circles upon his torso, while her eyes seemed to undress him seductively. At that time, her body sat completely on his lap. Of course, she couldn't help but wonder if how he was going to respond to this. He seemed to be a bit of a player now, but she was fine with that. She'd put wilder men on a leash. That was an interesting thought.. Though that was a thought for later, maybe.

[Bronze Degan]

"I'll just take a club sandwich." MY wasn't she just sooo... Adventurous? She comes to the culinary center of Gele and she orders something you can find on the menu any where in the world. Well there was something to be said about playing it safe, he thought she would throw caution to the wind and order a nice large bowl of grafisk and bread. Though now that he thought on it he was more then glad that she hadn't... He didn't want to be kissing someone who had so much as been near that stuff. He looked up from Kata and smiled at the waitress. "Care to get us a club sandwich of some sort? Just for the lady mind you im not hungry enough to eat~ and anyways i have to keep an eye on this girlish figure of mine." The young woman smiled before turning on a heel and bouncing off a slight skip in her step."She may enjoy her job just a tad to much~ though if one is going to work they might as well enjoy it no?" He let his accent slip into his speech for the first time, letting drop one of the masks he habitually wore when outside his own country.

Then suddenly there where boobs in his face, not that it bothered him all that much, but it took him a few seconds to raise his eyes to hers and see that wicked gleam in her eyes as she reached out and touched him gently on the cheek. "You really want to know?" Well the answer had been yes before this, now it was a HELL TO THE YES! If getting her to talk about it made her like this well, that was the only answer he could give. His smile widened and he leaned back some looking like nothing more then a smug cat who had just gotten into the cream."Ohh i think that would be fairly obvious Kata... Theres not a thing your hiding that i don't want to know... Im nosy like that" He winked then, his oddly colored eye seeming to smile its self. He saw a wicked and some would say evil glint come to the woman's eyes... And it made him shudder in what could only be expectation. "Let me remind you~." she ran her thumb along his jaw then suddenly, almost roughly she pulled him to her and pressed her lips to his and he laughed into it. Charm he had in spades, but never before had this happened so quickly with a woman who wasn't completely off her rocker.

He felt her curves, and his arms instinctively went around her. His hands exploring just a little, and as her knee went over his and she was all but siting on him well, his fingers started to trail up her leg. well wasn't this an interesting position he found him self in? He was glad he had decided to put off going to work."I usually make people buy me dinner before we get this far~~" His playful words met heated eyes and it almost made him blink, almost. Instead he just returned the same stare. "Bed, sheets ripped in my hands... The way your hair was such a mess and my cloth scattering the floor? The way I moaned your night, both of us terrified that our parents could walk in at any second." Blink. What? What was she going on about? Parents? Sex? He was to confused to even notice the moan...To confused to move really, and even when the waitress came back by to drop of their order he didn't look, smile, flirt. He did nothing, it seemed like he was in fact stunned.

She was that girl? That girl from so many years ago? No. No it couldn't be, could it? True he had felt an odd attraction to her since they had met. But whats more he had felt like he had known her. Could he have forgotten? Maybe... Time did odd things to ones memories. "You remember yet? Or do I need to 'remind' you a bit more?" He shook his head and cleared his thoughts. He wasn't acting like him self. How come he was letting this woman get to him? He was Bronze friend to kings, commander of men and hero of Gelemort. He was Marcus father of three, friend to the down trodden and an artist. "Ohh i don't know, i think my memory needs a bit more jogging"

He took a little control back then and pressed his lips back to hers biting gently."Where you the one who licked it gentle and loving..." He set his hands gently on her ass and squeezed some, his nails digging in gently. Or where you the one who liked it passionate and dangerous?"His fingers trained up her ass lightly spanked her before kissing her gently one more time. " Or maybe it was both hmmm?" His voice was low and playful as always but it had a hidden heat in it. Lucky for them, none but there waitress seemed to take notice of what they where doing... It was one of the wonders of a crowded bar.

[Guest]

Ohh i don't know, i think my memory needs a bit more jogging" .Lip pressed to hers. Delicious flesh flitting over her mouth and taking in her very soul, leaving nothing else than uttermost passion. His mouth closed upon her lower of lips and bit gently. Oh sweet tantalizing lust that burned warmly into her body. She sighed softly and closed her eyes. It felt nice, so perfect. His arms embraced her like a fortress and kept a wall up from the world almost. Such an odd sensationalism. She didn't fight as he took control back. It seemed the temporary lease had caught him off guard, but he was back now and stronger than before.

"Where you the one who licked it gentle and loving... Or where you the one who liked it passionate and dangerous?" Sweet lord, the man new how to move his body. Touches that slid up to her waist, up her legs and to her ass all felt like silk on her flesh. Teasing words, questionable attentions and utmost in extremism made the moment so enticing. The nails dug into her subtle, curved flesh as he spoke with his own heated words. Kata wasn't one for public affection, but what she would pay just to have that man take her right then and there. The pleasureful pain mixed with passionate vigor, she wasn't sure WHAT it was that turned her on most. A moan on her lips again.

" Or maybe it was both hmmm?" Mmm.. he had that right. Her eyes closed and she sighed heavily on his ear. "Getting a bit frisky, are we?" Katayuun giggled and bit down on his lower lip again, before swallowing his lips in a deep kiss. It felt great to be with this man. To be kissing him, to be wrapped around him. She wasn't sure why, maybe she was just lonely? Maybe it was a fond memory? She didn't now anything more than the fact, this man had her dying for more of him. That charm, those hands. It was as if this moment she was starved for him. That was something she'd never felt before, and if she did it was a long time ago.

The waitress was watching like a pervert, but Katayuun ignored her. This was her moment, a reuniting moment for her. A flame from the past that was so tempting to touch again. "Hmm maybe we should go somewhere more private? I'd hate to see you kicked out." Kata's voice, sweet and innocent as it usually sounded was drowned in a sexual vigor for once. A rather odd combination for even herself.

[Bronze Degan]

A sigh in his ear and he was all but ready to fallow her home like a lost puppy. It was sad really, it hadn't been that long since he had tasted the fruits of human sexuality, but he might as well have a man dying of thirst and she was obviously a oasis in the desert of his mind. You'd think a man of his experience would be better able to play this game, but she had just counted his brilliant move with nothing but a sigh. He was hopeless and he was fighting what could only be called a loosing battle."Getting a bit frisky, are we?" She bites her lip and he actually gulps. GULPS. Maybe she didn't notice? Maybe? He knew he was deluding him self by thinking that but still false hope was better then no hope at all right? Suddenly her lips where on his and he could feel him self FLUSH! Him blushing like some sort of school girl! Ohh the inhumanity!! Was the world ending? Was he about to die? HE HAD KISSED GIRLS BEFORE AND HE HAD LIKED IT!! But never, ever before had he flushed, blushed or any of that other nonsense. Maybe he was high? No. No right then the only thing he was intoxicated by was the smell of her, and that scared him more then anything else.

"Hmm maybe we should go somewhere more private? I'd hate to see you kicked out." That voice! THAT VOICE!! It was like sex, but with his ears which sounded gross but it wasn't. In fact it might have been the next best thing to REAL sex... Which may have been rating it a tad high but bronze wasn't thinking strait and how could one expect him to? He would like to see any other man react better when a woman of this caliber threw them selves at him. So with a quick wave of his hand he looked over at the waitress."Ill take that check now, and the faster you are about it the bigger tip you get." He glanced over at Kata and smiled, completely forgetting about his reddened face."We can eat later! Let me just wrap this up really quick hmm?" Okay he may have been talking quickly but he was sure she fallowed, at least he hopped she fallowed other wise he would look like a fool and nothing turned a woman off more then a foolish man. He knew this from personal experience! Was he rambling?

Hell he didn't wait for her to finish ringing him up, he just dropped some bills on the table and stood, scooting the woman off his lap and taking her by the hand before hurrying out the door."Keep the change!!" He yelled over his shoulder as the door swung closed. "Did you have anyplace in mind or did you just want to find some secluded spot in a park?" Well the park idea might not have been the best idea, but why the fuck did he care? DANGER! Danger made any sexual experience better! He gazed at her with heated eyes and crossed his arms finally managing to bring some composure back into his stance and voice. It shouldn't have been so hard, but it had been and it had taken this long to heart his heart beat back under control. " I mean what did you have in mind hmm?" Ohh yes he was mister cool alright. Mr fucking cool.

Mr.Cool took a deep breath, ran his fingers through his hair and winked, trying to play off his actions as something less then what they had been. He doubted it worked but one did not admit to being flustered if one was a man. Ohh yes all that had been a show, and he tried to shove those thoughts into Katas mind. But he wasn't a mind reader, and he doubted she was ether so yet again his brilliant plan shattered against the cold hard walls of logic and reality. Mr.Cool indeed.

[Guest]

"We can eat later! Let me just wrap this up really quick hmm?" The man barely waited for her to get up, before he was standing and throwing money on the table. Something Rouenian was shouted at the waitress and then his hand was wrapped about hers. Eh? He started pulling her away, Kata barely grabbed her purse while they bolted out the door. Well, that escalated quickly.. Her eyes gleamed an amused green while the man gathered himself outside. So much excitement. He was practically oozing excitement as he stood there a moment. After gathering himself a bit, he sped through the words like a man in a hurry.

"Did you have any place in mind or did you just want to find some secluded spot in a park?" She blinked a couple times. However, she hadn't time to speak. The man attempted to control his anxiety. He winked and ran a hand through his hair. Now, he was going to play cool? It took her a moment to adjust, but a hand covered her lips and she giggled. It was kind of cute, the way he didn't want to seem like he was excited as all hell. " I mean what did you have in mind hmm?"Yes, the man was now pretending like the whole 'let's just have sex now' thing hadn't happened. Though, she'd let it slide. After all, it wasn't like she was ready to just sit andd do nothing.

Trying to play it off as nothing? That didn't work. She smiled at him, arching her brow a bit. A look that asked if he was serious, but she was merely teasing him. "Hm? Well, I could take you to where I'm staying, or we could go back to your place." A pause as she leaned in and bit his chin, soft and playful. "Or.." That voice drained into a whisper. "If you can't wait we can just duck into an alleyway or somewhere else you had in mind~?" Maybe the park wasn't such a bad idea? A little frisking there could excite the moment further, risk of being caught feeding the adrenaline. Her fingers tapped lazily on his hand.

"It's your call, honey." She stated as a challenge. What would he chose? It made her so curious. Green eyes raised to meet him with a smirk playing at her lips.

[Bronze Degan]

Okay that look, that look COULD spell trouble for Bronze, he just had to see what looks accompanied that reaction. "Hm? Well, I could take you to where I'm staying, or we could go back to your place." Okay well those words where good words and it made Bronze and some what smaller Bronze happy to hear them. "Or.." Her voice dropped into a low whisper. "If you can't wait we can just duck into an alleyway or somewhere else you had in mind~? Okay so some what smaller Bronze got a little bit bigger at that, and bronze could feel him self grinning ear to ear. Little Bronze would have as well but he didn't have a mouth per say. This was a rather sweet turn of events, though she could just be fucking with him but at this point he didn't care, what he cared about right then was not the most honorable of things but it was part of human nature. Right then he cared about getting lucky, getting laid, making the beast with the two backs. That was what every single once of energy he had was focused on.

"Well we can warm up in the park, or if you like it a little more dangerous we can start in the ally... But i think we should end our little sexcapade at your place~" Rule number one in Bronzes play book, neer take a woman home before seeing her place. You never know if a woman is just sexy or some sort of crazy bitch tell you see the inside of her closet. IF its all god go ahead and make a more serious move, but if shes got a spiky something or other siting on a coat hanger tuck your tail and RUN! Unless your a fan of painful sodomy.

He leans in close and rests his lips by her ear, his soft breath warming her flesh and his eyes shining in the setting sun light."Ether way... Im sure we would both enjoy it." He let his words tickle her ear then gently nibbled on it as his hands circled her wait. It was more then obvious that he had no IDEA how to react to her... It showed in the scatter brained way he acted.

[Guest]

What an interesting turn for the day. Going from simply walking around town to taking a man home; one that she knew before nonetheless, but still. The excitement he illuminated was interesting to say the least. She couldn't help but laugh inwardly. It seemed so cliche yet she would never complain. Not today, not with this man. His lips curved in the brightest smile, he clearly either didn't know what he was getting into or he knew enough that he was ready for it.

Hands wrapped around her and pulled her towards him. His breath hot and heavy on her ear. She couldn't help it, she blushed. She had asked if HE could make it, and yet she could barely hold herself back. Soft and shaky breaths full of lust were brought from her mouth. She leaned in and pressed her soft lips to curve of his neck. Where to go? For a first time? Or was it technically an uncounted time? She was well-grown now unlike back then when puberty had just began. But she wasn't the only one. He had height on him, now. Something she had never expected not that he was short back then. Her hazel eyes shone and she smirked at the words he had said."Well we can warm up in the park, or if you like it a
little more dangerous we can start in the ally... But i think we should
end our little sexcapade at your place~"

"Ether way... Im sure we would both enjoy it." The moment- unexpected combines with want and yet still is ruled by morals. Was it okay- to? GAH! She just chose to not care at this time. With a playful grin, she twisted and shoved him lightly. She half-pushed him over and into the nearby alleyway. It seemed sort of exciting and in fact she liked the idea. It had been too long. Her body pressed up to him, both near a wall. Lips met lips in a passionate fervor. Hands searching over his body as if trying to find some sort of sweet treasure and then found themselves at his waist. Red flew over her cheeks and she grinned up from under her eyes wondering what was going to happen next. She knew though, there was no kidding anyone. "I think right here, is good for starts." A gentle wink at him as she gauged his reaction.

[Bronze Degan]

Tonight was a night for tug-o-war it seemed. The night had started with her pulling on him, drawing him closer with a flashed smile a heated word, a kiss. Every time she had almost had him, and every time he had managed to pull back and regain his balance and maybe, just maybe throw her off just a tiny bit. But this last literal shove sent him over the edge and then he was lost in a frenzy of lips and teeth. Where they in an ally? He didn't know. All he knew was that there was a wall to his back and a woman pressed tight against him. It seemed like his hands where every where at once and he knew then that he had lost that game of tug-o-war. Did Bronze care? No not really. What had he really lost? The answer was nothing, infact he may have lost that little battle of wills, but he had won a much larger and more important war. A war that would dictate the way things would go for the rest of that night, for the rest of that week even. He would try to keep her around that long at least, though he wasn't sure how successful he would be at that.

Katas cheeks where as red as his felt, they almost glowed in the darkness of what in fact turned out to be an ally. But his eyes weren't locked on her cheeks, ohh now his eyes looked deeply into hers and saw the same playfulness that was almost always reflected back at him when he looked in the mirror. That just wasn't something he was used to oh no! "I think right here, is good for starts." That wink, that smile!! Where had this woman been all his life? Ohh yes... With some other man. Now that was an unpleasant thought to say the least. Why was it unpleasant? Hell if he knew, good thing those thoughts where soon driven from his mind by another flurry of kissing and pawing hands. They both seemed so... Needy. Yes needy was the only word for it. They both needed attention, and intimate touch, a knowing smile. Whats more he could feel all those pent up emotions boiling inside him slowly dwindle as to nothing, even if it was only for these oh to brief moments.

"The only problem i see..." His voice was a rough whisper as he bit and suckled at her neck and ear." are these shorts of yours..." His hands went to her waist and his finger slipped just under the waist ban of her daisy dukes. " It would be so awkward for you if someone walked in on us.." He laughed a little and looked at the nearby side walk only a few steps away. " But if you don't mind putting on a show well i think we can get started."

This had all happened so fast, and Bronze was not sure just how he had arrived there, and he still wasn't sure if he had met her before. Had she been teasing him? MEssing with him? It had happened before, but oddly he didn't care. So what if she lied to him, in the end it wouldn't matter." What is it they say in Creta?" His voice turned wicked and he slowly started to undo her shorts."Lights, Camera, Action?"

[Guest]

HUff, stuttered breath and a gentle moan was released from her mouth. The motion of his lips barraging her body in pleasurable routine made her face bloom into a full-out rose color. He roughly suckled, biting and bulling at her neck and to her ear. Such a raising tension in her body that showed in haggard breathing outwards. "Mm.." Her voice cooed as her head tilted to give him more room. "The only problem i see...are these shorts of yours..." The fingers of his wiggled just under the top of her shorts, tugging at them. Hushed whispers that transformed into almost a hungry growl on her ear. Was she really going to do this? Sure she was used to doing things a bit crazy, but even this- seemed a bit more than her usual.

" It would be so awkward for you if someone walked in on us.. But if you don't mind putting on a show well i think we can get started." His eyes turned to look at something, but Kata could care less. Her only interest at that time was the appeal of thrill that this man so pursued. Oh man, was he alluring when he was trying to seduce her. It was working though. She was soon all over him and in a public place forshame on both o them but sometimes.. self restraint could wait. A show? Her lips curved into a sort of grin. He wanted a DANCE? Right then and there? Such an odd request. "Lights, Camera, Action?" She giggled.

A hand was fidgeting at her shorts. "Or is it a race? Ready, set, go?" Her lips pressed to his chin, sliding down to his neck, before the real show started. "Brace yourself baby, it's going to be a rough ride." She winked at him before starting to pull at her top's tie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once the deed in the alley had been completed, Kata pulled herself back together. Her entourage being once again upon her body. Of course her hair was a mess by now and her body felt a bit awkward from the excess fluid now upon her. She contained her composure and tooka deep breath. Her heart was still racing. With a quick turn (on the catwalk), her voice was heard once more. "To my place then?"

[Bronze Degan]

"Or is it a race? Ready, set, go?" Ohh yeees. YES! He loved the way this girl thought, add that to the way she moved and well you got something he could actually write home about(Not that he would, he doubted his grandparents wanted to hear about that)! But no he was surprised at the intensity of her reactions, it was almost like she had a sex drive equal to HIS!! Which was ridiculous wasn't it? "Brace yourself baby, it's going to be a rough ride." He smirked then as her top drop and his hungry eyes roved over her body taking ever pleasure in the perverse feeling that was creeping over him." Rough? And here i thought you had been broken in... What a pleasant surprise ~" And it was. He liked his ladies feisty and able to make him fight for what he wanted. He had a feeling she was just that type of lady... Otherwise they wouldn't be where they where right then.

Cloths hit the ground and time seemed to both speed up and slow down at the same time. It was an odd sensation, and one that Bronze enjoyed every time he felt it, one that he would seek out like it was the purest drug. He was a man defined by his hungers and his passions, he was a man who at the same time lacked and exhibited self control in almost everything he did, and random encounters like this where what he lived for. The cloths hit the ground, and the chill air hit his skin, then he lost him self and any inhibition he may have had.

~~~TIME SKIP~~~

Bronze was... Relaxed. He was standing with his pants around his ankles in the middle of an ally and he was RELAXED. Was there something odd about that? Maybe. But as he managed to get his cloths back on and he gazed at the woman he had just danced with well, he didn't care. Cause that night was going to take a turn for the better and he knew it even if she didn't. "To my place then?" He smiled and ran a hand through his hair, trying to tame it but it was a loosing battle."Tis closer then mine, and i don't know about you but im not even close to being done for the night~"
