Re: [M] Assassination Limited (Saviour)

Damien had stopped eating for the time being, and so he watched her casually as she enjoyed more of the meal. When she repeated his words, a frown softened his features and turned his lips downward. "What's wrong with you?" He countered, his voice sharp but not menacing or angered. He returned to the food, taking a bite of one of the sides they had recently added. He wasn't used to the flavor, it was peculiar and sweet. However, he chewed and swallowed. Only then did he decide he wasn't going to eat anymore of it. A nonchalant as possible, Damien took a drink of his cool water to rid himself of the flavor.

Athea was thrown off kilter by Damien's words and she thought for a moment after finishing the venison. What was wrong with her? Even she had no idea. Other then the emotion of being unwelcomed in the cabin. But she couldn't tell him that, now could she? Thoughts swam through her mind before she looked at Damien. "Got me, there," she said with a shrug, "I guess that just makes us both strange," she said before trying one of the side dishes. It was different from what she was used to, but she didn't complain. Afterall, throughout her training, she had been taught to eat anything she could. Not to be picky. However, she had noticed how Damien decided he didn't like one of his side dishes and used the water to try and hide it. She gave a soft smile before she took another bite, deciding not to mention anything. No need. If he didn't like it, he could leave it out. It was up to him.

Once they had both finished and it was paid for, Athea stood up and walked out, the cool breeze hitting her exposed skin. She looked over at the trees, where Kai had vanished to and she gave a soft sigh. He'd get over it soon enough. Athea ran a hand through her black hair and glanced at the night sky before looking over at Damien.

Damien smirked triumphantly at her final reply, and chuckled a bit. Her words offered a sort of connection between them, and for some reason he found that comforting. They finished their meal eventually, and he noticed that while he still had a full siding on his dish, she had nothing. Selfish, he thought to himself. He didn't dwell on it long, and briskly paid for the dinner. When they stepped out into the night, the cool air was like meeting a long lost friend. Relieving and soft, something almost indescribable. He let out a contented sigh, but he heard Athea sigh as well. Hers didn't sound quite so amused, though. He turned his eyes to her, and found that she had done the same. A moment passed, and he quickly looked back out into the night. "Walk with me?" He asked after a pause, and turned back to her.

by Tayssi Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:47 am

Athea's brown eyes met his blue ones and she gave a soft smile before he looked away and then asked if she'd walk with him. She gave a soft shake of her head and then shrugged. "Sure," she replied lightly as they started to walk. May as well make the time between them longer. Soon enough, he'd go back to stay at Addie's for the night. Damien thought she either found was or was going to find one, but that was a lie. She was just to go to Kai, obviously make up with hima nd stay with him for the night.
The silence passed between them, but Athea didn't think it was awkward or uncomfortable. On the contrary, she found it a confoting silence. And she didn't want to ruin it by saying something that shouldn't be said.

by Saviour Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:00 am

Damien walked beside her, but he led her about the town at night. They passed by a few homes, but mainly the small stores that were necessary for the natives to live. He watched his feet as he walked, and felt the silence closing in on him. He felt as though he should say something, but he couldn't bring himself to conversation. Several moments passed before he decided it had been long enough. "Have you decided on a place to stay tonight?" he asked her, trying to sound as casual as possible. He folded his arms and looked over at her.

by Tayssi Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:10 am

Athea watched as Damien looked at feet as he walked as they passed small stores and huts. About 5 minutes later, Damien spoke, asking if she had found a place to stay for the night. Athea looked up at him and nodded. "Yeah, I have," she lied and gave a light smile. He did not need to know whether she had or not, as either way, she was staying with Kai whether Damien liked it or not. She didn't belong in this village. At all. And she never would, so what was the point in getting to know someone and staying at their place for a night or two? "And you're staying at Addie's, right?" she asked, looking away for a moment.

by Saviour Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:20 am

Damien nodded, not quite believing her words. He told himself that she would've said something if she wanted his help in finding a place. He frowned and looked away a moment, but her question stung the air. Something about it made his blood run cold, and he looked over at her quickly. Damien tried to find some sort of judgement in her eyes, but he couldn't find any. He looked ahead once again and forced a shrug. "Maybe. Something's different, I can't figure it out" he answered honestly. If he didn't stay there, he would stay with the elderly woman who was more a mother to him than anyone else.

by Tayssi Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:44 am

Athea looked at Damien and cocked her slightly at his words, confused. Something was differnet? What did he mean by that? Obviously some things would be different, they hadn't seen eachother for a couple years. Yet, his words seemed to have more meaning then what she thought. She looked up at him, "What do you mean something seems different?" she asked him, studying the man for a moment before looking away. What did it matter to her? But, for some reason, his words had made her heartrate pick just the slightest bit.

by Saviour Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:47 am

Damien ran a hand through his hair when she asked what he meant. His next breath was heavy, and he contemplated the possible ways he could answer her. "I just... I don't know. It's like I don't even know her. That, of course, doesn't make sense. She hasn't changed..." He sighed, and looked over at Athea. She probably wouldn't understand, he didn't even understand. His boots crunched and a twig snapped beneath him. He took this as an excuse to look away, and he watched the path in front of him as he walked now. Damien's eyes were able to forget the problems in his future, but his mind as free to wander.

by Tayssi Sat Aug 18, 2012 2:06 am

Athea listened to Damien's words and she glanced up at him again, not quite understanding his words but nodding anyway.She looked ahead as he stood on the twig and she sighed. By now, it was near midnight. The moon was nearly at it's peak, it's soft white light seeming to make Athea's dark hair glow and her eyes become alight with white fire. She stopped for a moment and looked at the ground. "What are you going to do, then?" she asked softly, referring to him staying at Addie's. She shouldn't really care, but for some reason, she did.

by Saviour Sat Aug 18, 2012 2:31 am

Damien glanced over at Athea, and hesitated. It seemed like each shade of darkness that passed the sky made her look even more captivating and beautiful. He looked forward again when she asked a question, and shook his head. "I don't know, stay with the elder woman probably..." he trailed off. He lifted his eyes to search the dark forest they had neared, and he stopped. "Well.. I guess there isn't as much town as I thought there was..." he chuckled, and his gaze flicked up to meet hers.

by Tayssi Sat Aug 18, 2012 2:35 am

Athea looked up at Damien as he spoke and she gave a soft nod before giving him a smile. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter where you stay.. As long as you're comfortable, right?" she said lightly. When he spoke again, commenting about the town, Athea gave a soft laugh. "Oh well, that doesn't matter," she said softly, meeting his gaze for a long moment before looking away.

by Saviour Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:40 pm

Damien nodded and chuckled softly as she did. His eyes narrowed as she turned to look the other way, and his stomach fluttered slightly. Everything felt unnervingly real at that moment, as though the sky was falling and the ground was grabbing up at it. Damien lifted his hand slowly, then tentatively brought it to her hair. He brushed a satin strand to the side and tucked it back, bringing her face back to look at him as he did. After a slight hesitation, Damien let his hand fall back to his side. He didn't know what else to say, or do, so he stepped closer to her. "I don't know what it is about you, Athea," he chuckled. "But you've managed to turn my life upside down, and forced me to like it." Damien admitted, and let his eyes trail to her lips. They returned to her eyes just as he felt her breath tickle against his jaw and neck.

[[ I hope I didn't interfere with how your charrie would've reacted, if so then just ignore the parts after she reacts haha ]]

by Tayssi Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:17 pm

Athea was surprised when she felt Damien lift a strand of her dark hair. He tucked it behind her ear and turned her head to look at him. Athea's eyes widened ever so slightly, confused, especially as he stepped closer. She could feel his warm breath upon her face. When he spoke, Athea was thoroughly surprised. She didn't know what to say and his words struck her in the heart. And she had no idea why. "The same goes for you, Damien," she said softly, "you've changed me. I don't how, but you have," she was hesitant to tell him, and she didn't know why. She noticed his gaze shift to her lips and a blush crept over her and she shifted her gaze away for a moment. However, she looked back up with an almost shy smile before she reached up on her toes and brushed her lips against his. A moment later, she realised what she had done and she stared at him before she looked away. "Um, i'm sorry," she said softly, looking down, her gaze resting on his chest.

by Saviour Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:36 pm

As Damien drowned out the entire world just to hear her words, he felt himself lost in her eyes. He had never felt this way before, it was strange and alien yet warm and comforting. He saw the blush that tasted her cheekbones and almost smiled, but her lips touched his before he could. It was just a touch, a brush, but it seemed like forever. Her lips were soft against his, sweet. Damien opened his eyes when she pulled back and he furrowed his brows softly, biting at his lip. He was suddenly terrified that she would reject him, that he had done something wrong and she would leave him standing there in the dark. He shifted on his feet when she apologized and shook his head. "Did I offend you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" Damien stopped talking and mentally cursed at himself.

by Tayssi Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:51 pm

Athea's eyes widened at his words and she shook her head, looking up at him for a moment, "no! You haven't done anything," she said quickly and then shifted her gaze away. "It's not you.. I just.. Don't know what to do. My whole life, I was told that I could never harbor any feelings for anyone," she said softly, "I just don't know what I should do," she repeated with a sigh and looked back up at him, hoping that he wouldn't leave her in the dark. She didn't know what she would do if he did do that. She was already feeling lost and confused she didn't know what she would do if he left her right at that moment.

by Saviour Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:58 pm

Damien listened to her and shook his head. When she stopped talking, he smiled softly and chuckled. "Do what you want, Athea." He told her, leaning closer. "Do this," he added, and tucked his hand under her chin. Damien pulled her lips up to his, carefully of course. He was afraid she might shove him back. Why was he feeling this way? All his life he had dated women and done much more than that, but now, with Athea, he was terrified. Her lips were soft against his, and warm. They were full, and fit perfectly against his thin ones.

by Tayssi Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:06 am

Athea heard him chuckle and she looked away, thinking he was about to leave her there. However, when he spoke, his words were soft and she looked up at him before adding two words. 'Do this' and he pulled her lips to his in a kiss. It was soft and careful, almost cautious and Athea was taken by surprise, completely not expecting him to do that. She froze for a few moments, before she relaxed and leaned into it, hesitantly kissing him back.
She was scared. Scared of him tossing her to the side once he was done with. However, she was more scared of letting her feelings for Damien grow. What if something happened? What if he ended up rejecting her? She didn't know what she would do. And it scared her. Scared her to look into the future, to see Damien leaving her.

by Saviour Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:12 am

Damien felt her relax and moved his hand to her back, pulling her closer to him. Everything he was thinking before vanished, and he focused on her and her alone. The way she had to stand up straighter to reach him, and the way he brushed back the dark strands of her hair. Damien pushed the kiss deeper, tasting her, and wanting more. Reluctantly, he pulled back to catch his breath. His eyes opened slowly, searching her face for her reaction. Damien didn't let her go, he still held her close to his chest. He could feel her pulse in her neck where his palm rested, and her hot breath trickled down his neck. The night that felt cold before was now warm and comfortably so.

by Tayssi Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:25 am

Athea felt his hand rest on her back and then pull her closer to him, pressing her against his chest. However, she didn't care, no matter how scared she was, right at that moment, she just wanted to be closer to Damien. He deepened the kiss, and she did not mind one bit. She moved her hands to rest upon his biceps. He was gentle, but firm, with a touch of roughness to it. She knew he wanted more. Athea opened her eyes as he pulled away and another blush crept up as he watched her, waiting for a reaction. Her heart was beating fast. She could feel it, and she knew he could, with his hand resting upon his neck. Athea watched him for a moment before she rested her forehead in the crook of his neck. "This is all so strange," she whispered, "who thought we'd end up like this?"

by Saviour Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:34 am

Damien felt her slouch against him, resting her head against his neck. He leaned against he as well, inhaling deeply and smiling at her words. It was true. He'd have never guessed he'd fall in love this the girl who was sent to murder him. Damien absently traced circled against her spine and chuckled quietly. "I obviously didn't, you know, with the daggers and attacking and all," the jest was all in good humor, but he regretted saying it afterwards. This moment was like an eggshell, a glass sculpture that was one wrong tap away from shattering to the floor. He feared the comment might aggravate her, and that he may never get a chance with her again.

by Tayssi Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:52 am

Athea smiled softly as he traced circles along her spine and she sighed at his last few words. "I'm sorry about that, Damien," she said softly, pulling back to look up at him. "If I had known what you were really like, I would've rejected the job," she said and looked away, suddenly feeling bad that she had tried to kill him. Deep down, Damien probably hated her for it. That thought terrified her.

(Sss)

by Saviour Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:40 pm

Damien shook his head and let her go when she pulled back. "No, I'm glad you took the job. If you hadn't, we wouldn't have met." He told her, pushing his hands into his pockets and smiling softly.

[[ Gah, I'm REALLY sorry for this ]]

by Tayssi Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:06 pm

Athea couldn't help but smile at his words and she looked up at him. "I guess you're right, but it would've been better if we had met on normal circumstances and not trying to kill you," she said lightly. She looked to the side to see Kairav coming towards them, tail lashing as he stared at Damien and then sitting down a couple metres from them. "What's wrong?" Athea asked, confused as to why he was here after earlier. Kai turned his glare onto Athea and hissed, "nothing," before he looked at Damien again. Athea knew he hadn't seen what had happened, or he wouldn't just be sitting there.

(it's fine)

by Saviour Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:19 pm

Damien cleared his throat and stepped back the moment he heard the beasts thundering footsteps. Sure enough, Kai stepped from the forest and sat down, tail twitching. The man glanced at Athea in confusion, then turned back to Kai. "Did you fail to find yourself a place to sleep?" Damien snorted, teasing the creature. It was all in good fun of course, he would never insult Kai so blatantly. Not only because he was a shrimp next to him, but because Damien actually considered Kai a sort of friend. It was a strange yet comforting thought to him. The only friends Damien had were Sadie and Addie, and latter was a rather rocky relationship.
