[Gobbo]

Eli paused for a moment outside the door, before leaning against the wall as he sat down. Her last words echoed in his head, but he wasn't sure what to make of them... This was exactly why he kept to himself most of the time. Part of him wanted to go back inside and talk it over, even if he wasn't sure what he would say. Sighing deeply he took a long drink from the bottle, letting the wine wash away his pain. The only thing he wished for was to figure out why he was so attracted to her...

 

[Shura]

Iris finished her glass giving further into the pull of inebriation before shuffling over to the bed unsure of what to make of the nights events. She curled up on the bed staring at the door wondering if she did the right thing. She knew she liked him, more than she would like to admit. But she'd never really delt with anyone outside of her family or guards. She growled softly not like being confused but she wasn't sure what to do.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli sighed quietly, gulping down more wine. He was lost in his thoughts, and after a long while he finally stood, stumbling for a moment. He knew he liked her, that much was for sure... But after she claimed him and then hit him that hard, he was confused. Shaking his head he nearly tripped, drinking down a large amount of the wine before walking back inside. He glanced over at her for a moment before sitting the wine bottle down on the table, heading over to the couch. He laid down on it with a heavy sigh, wiggling a bit as he tried to get comfortable.

 

[Shura]

Iris had been in a state of half sleep by the time he made it back inside. Her ears twitched slightly at the sound of the sound of the door opening and opened her eyes. She watched him flop onto the couch and watched him as he got settled wondering if she should say anything.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli got settled and sighed deeply. Though he was tired, his mind was too busy to sleep any time soon. He glanced over at her for a moment before looking away, folding his arm under his head with a small frown. The way things were going, he was considering leaving as soon as the bracelets were off again. For a while he was going to see about sticking around her, but until things got figured out he decided it would be best if he just left.

 

[Shura]

Iris watched him a moment seeing him trying to get to comfortable and frowned. "You don't have to sleep over there." She muttered words slurred slightly.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli glanced over at her again when she spoke. She managed to confuse him more, but the longer he laid on the couch the more uncomfortable it was. He sat up with a little sigh, feeling his heart sink again for some reason. "Are you sure?" he asked quietly, standing shakily. He stumbled over to the bed, swaying a little when he got over to her.

 

[Shura]

"Yes...." She muttered watching the reflection of emotions in his eyes. "I dont hate you...." She said. "I don't even dislike you..." she added softly

 

[Gobbo]

Eli smiled a little at her words, they certainly helped. At least it cleared up some of the confusion. "I'm glad... Hey, I'm sorry for before..." he said as he sat down on the edge of the bed, turning to look at her. "I got... confused. I didn't realize that you bit me to try to get me off of you."

 

[Shura]

Iris blushed softly. "I didn't know your race did that to claim eachother...." she muttered softly. "I'm not sure how I feel towards you" she added softly toying with the edge of the fabric. "I only kicked because the last time someone tried to get that close to me was Erickson...." She muttered softly

 

[Gobbo]

Eli smiled a little when he saw her blush. "It's... It's actually a very intimate gesture. Even more than kissing someone." he explained, his fingers brushing the mark she left on his neck. It had stopped bleeding, but he could still feel the punctures. He nodded when she mentioned her fiance, frowning a little. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again... I don't want to bring back bad memories for you."

 

[Shura]

Iris smiled softly "Thank you ..." She muttered softly tail swaying back and forth "Hm..... I did feel good though..." she thought aloud not evening realizing it as she felt a fain tingle along her neck. She touched where he had bitten her not really realizing there was a mark just yet.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli flushed red when she said that, looking at her neck for a moment. He reached out and touched the marks he left, smiling a little. "I left marks..." he pointed out, smiling a little. "When you bit me, I... I don't know. I felt weird... But I liked it."

 

[Shura]

Iris blushed seven shades darker and looked off not realizing her had even left one, or spoke her thoughts aloud. "I could tell..." she muttered softly her hand brushing against his as she moved her hand away from her neck. His fingers left a warm tingling sensation where he touched making her shift and tilt her head slightly.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli smiled softly, watching her tilt her head towards his touch. "You're a weird one, you know that?" he asked with a little laugh, scooting so he could lay down next to her. His fingers lingered on her neck for a moment before he reached up and started scratching her ears with a smile.


"I don't know what to make of you."

 

[Shura]

Iris closed her eyes and purred softly as he scratched er ears. She shifted closer to him nuzzling his hand. "Hm.... I don't even know." she muttered softly. "Things are so different out here... I've been pushed into some kind of mold my whole life... I really don't know my self..."

 

[Gobbo]

Eli couldn't help but smile, watching her reaction to his petting. "Well... The world's a big place. You've been given a chance that many people would kill for. You're a fresh slate... Take your time to find out who you really are." he said softly, sliding his fingers along her chin.

 

[Shura]

"Fresh Slate...." She muttered softly closing her eyes as his hand moved to her chin, purring never faltering. She sighed ever so softly as she started to fall more and more into a relaxed state, the full effect of the wine starting to kick in. She shifted closer to the dark elf still purring. "I guess..." she murmured softly. "But... I know I do like being around you..." She nuzzled him gently. "Your scent is nice too...." She yawned

 

[Gobbo]

Eli smiled softly, his fingers slowing for a moment. His touch turned to a light caress on her cheek. He moved a little closer to her and put his other arm around her, smiling.


"I don't mind your scent either... It's very calming." he said, his face flushing a little. His eyes met hers as he brushed her cheek, the empty hole in his chest slowly vanishing as he held her close.

 

[Shura]

Iris sighed softly feeling warm and secure in his arms. Nuzzled her face into his chest. "Hm lavender is calming..." she stated purring softly as she tucked her head under his chin. Her tail sway lazily back and forth slowly coming to a rest as she fell asleep cuddled close to Elias.

 

[Gobbo]

"It is..." he said quietly, brushing his fingers through her hair as he held her. Soon enough she fell asleep in his arms, leaving him time to stop and think. He started to wonder if leaving her was such a good idea after all... He figured at the very least he'd stay with her until she was ready to go off on her own, bracelets or no. As she slept he hummed quietly, a soothing song to help her sleep. After a long while the humming stopped and he fell asleep, nuzzling his face in her hair.

 

[Shura]

Iris purred softy in her sleep, every so often nuzzling closer or twitching. She remained in a deep sleep through most of the evening and all through the day hours. At some point She wrapped and arm around Elias to hug him close and bury her face into his chest. She started to wake just as the sun was starting to set. She groaned softly as her head throbbed in pain due to a nasty hang over. She burried her face more into Elias's chest wanting to go back to sleep but her head was having none of it, punishing her for drinking so much wine the night before.

 

[Gobbo]

Eli slept deeply, murring quietly when she pulled him closer. When she woke up his eyes fluttered open with a wince. He groaned quietly and buried his face between her ears, holding her close. "My head is killing me..." he said softly, sighing deeply. Once he realized that she was so close he blushed a bit, but still held her close.

 

[Shura]

Iris nodded slightly "Mine two..." she muttered softly slowly becoming aware to her surroundings. Her ears twitched slightly when she felt a pressure at the top of her head and opened her eyes seeing she was very close to Elias. She blushed heavily letting out a small squeek but the sudden tension made her head throb more. She groaned softly closing her eyes and resting her head against his chest. "Too much wine..."

 

[Gobbo]

Eli nodded slowly, pulling away from her for a moment. "It's a good thing we're not leaving for another day or two... I'd hate to have to travel with this headache." he said quietly, smiling softly as he watched her. "How much of last night do you remember?" he asked.
