The Outlook

[DarkWarrioress]

He nods, "Would you like me to whisper to you again m'lady?" he asks hand coming up to cover hers on his face.

"I would be pleased if you did so, Glad."

 

[The_gladiator]

"I would be pleased if you did so, Glad."

He leans in close lips brushing the tip of an ear one arm sliding around her waist to better balance.

She chuckled warmly, "I take it that's a yes?" Her free hand slid up his arm and came to rest there.

he begins to share with her the struggles he has been faced with, knowing sharing with another friend will help him to share the burden. "Is that a yes to what?" he asks in a louder voice.

She cleared her throat, turning her face slightly and kissed his cheek, "Forget it. Your whisper just reached me. Shall we walk more or sit?"

She cleared her throat, turning her face slightly and kissed his cheek, "Forget it. Your whisper just reached me. Shall we walk more or sit?"

"Which would you prefer?" he asks softly smiling at her kindness.

She glanced up at the dark sky. It was filled with stars, all of them twinkling brightly. The ocean was softly lapping not far from their feet. The moon hadn't risen yet. Perhaps tonight was a dark night. She looked back at him, squeezing his hand again. "I have an idea, crazy as it may sound. But it's something that always helps me."

He can't help smirking the humor actually reaching his eyes at the wickedly sinful thoughts that run through his head at her words. color creeps into his cheeks and he glances away shyly before he controls himself and looks back at her, "Oh?" he says pausing to clear his throat, "What is that?"

She laughed, "Now I wonder what thought or thoughts crept into that Elven mind of yours and brought on that lovely color in your cheeks? I propose a late night swim. The night air is warm, so catching a chill is unlikely," she canted her head slightly to one side as she regarded him, "Are you game? I find the water cleansing. Especially if I want to clear my head and my mind."

he laughs, "I was thinking of some of the things I often deal with stress." Chuckles a bit.

The smile grows again, "A swim sounds lovely... if you are not afraid to let me see you naked m'lady." he teases. His hands already moving to lift the tunic over his head, revealing the lean form of his upper body. Stretching, already feeling the warm breeze lick over his skin.

She cocked a brow, "Afraid? Should I be?" Her eyes roamed over his upper body appreciatively before her fingers reached for the straps of her dress, pushing them off her shoulders and letting it fall to her feet in a puddle. She wore nothing under it. Stepping free of her dress, she ran for the water, calling over her bare shoulder, "Last one in pays for the next round of drinks."

He laughs and quickly moves to strip out of his pants, "Cheater!" he calls after her, "I was holding out for you to take off my pants for me." he jokes running to catch her, long strides eating up the distance. Strong arms close around her curvaceous form from behind stopping her just before she reaches the water, laughing now. "You're trapped now." he says in her ear.

She laughed as he caught her, "Talk about cheating! You're stopping me from getting into the water first and I had a head start." She tipped her head back against his shoulder, laughing up at him, "And as for waiting for me to remove your pants, you say that to all the ladies."

"But... I mean it with you!" he says laughing kissing the top of her head.

"I actually don't believe I've said that to anyone else." I say with a smile... "You go in first I don't mind buying the next drink.... just check your glass first." he teases. still not releasing her enjoying the playfulness of the moment.

"Oh, I've heard you say it to, Thyri," she laughed again, "and why should I check my glass, sir?" She reached back and tickled his ribs.

"Oh, I've heard you say it to, Thyri," she laughed again, "and why should I check my glass, sir?" She reached back and tickled his ribs.

pretends to look offended, "When Have I ever told Thyri I wanted her to take off my pants?" I say giggling, and then actually remembering the moment in question the day before laughter growing. "Ok so maybe I did... dang I'm really out of practice with flirting if I am repeating the same bad pick up lines more than once." he says releasing her to walk into the water with her, feeling the water slip over his legs, the lapping already calling to him urging him in deeper.

She laughed delightedly, then watched him enter the water, her laughter turning into a content smile. The ocean was affecting him, she could see it. She moved out further before diving into a wave. It was glorious. Breaking the surface, she slicked back her hair and looked around for Glad.

"I need better pick up lines doncha think?" he teases surfacing from diving into a wave beside her, rolling onto his back letting the water carry him, "Things like baby if I said you had a nice body... would you hold it against me?" he grins and then a wave dunks him under making him come up spluttering, "Ok so maybe that was fate telling me to never use that line..." he says...

She laughed, spraying water at him but too late, the wave took him under. "You see? Even the Fates are listening or Neptune at best." She struck out for deeper water then simply tread it for a bit before diving down deeply, feeling the water temperature become cooler before she kicked upward toward the surface.

he smiles and swims after her enjoying the feel of the water caressing his skin. He catches her as she surfaces. arms sliding around her to bring them intimately close grinning down at her. "I seem to have captured you again." he said his own feet able to touch the ground easily but seeing she was shy by a couple inches.

She made a small sound as she surfaced then relaxed and smiled, "So, it would seem." She rested her hands lightly on his arms as she looked up at him, "Feeling any better?" She lifted a hand to brush back a strand of his hair, her fingertips brushing against one of his ears as she did so.

He smiles, "Actually yes I am. you are very good company." he sucks in his breath in a slight moan escapes as her fingertips brushed that delicate elven ear. Did she know of the invitation that often could be in elven culture, or was it merely an accident or innocent exploration. His eyes fill with something undefineable but it is not the sadness he wore before she started talking and playing around with him.

She smiled, letting her fingers drift back down to the side of his face, "It grows late, Milord Elf. I think we should head back. A new day is just over the horizon and it brings a host of promises with it."

He nods and leads her back to shore. Where he conjurstwo towels to dry them off with. Slowly he then moves to pick back up his clothing, although not before giving her lovely body a long appreciative look. Dressing, he steps close to her, a hand coming up to stroke her cheek, "Thank you my lady for your company this evening." he said and lays a gentle kiss on her full lips, tasting the salt of the sea mix with her natural sweetness. "Good night sweet warrior. I hope to share time with you tomorrow or some other time soon." he says softly.

The kiss she accepted in the manner it was meant and returned it, "Good Night, Glad. I'll see you sometime tomorrow." She finished drying her body and dressed, waving and disappearing into the night.
