<span style='color:gray'> The presence of the ashen male sat at a table nearby was strong, but Tapokaj chose to ignore it. At this rate, she'd be back out in that heat, and in search of another Tavern. Where on earth was Xizor? Not only was she in dire need of that Vodka & Orange, but she'd feel just that little bit safer with another trustworthy male companion at the table. For now though, Tyael would do. His repeated kiss of her hand, as sweet as it was, indicated that he would probably stand up for her in any troublesome events. 'Twas doubted that he was strong or brave enough to fight for her, but even so - Xizor most likely would. And he was worthy enough of scaring pretty much any 'dragon, in Tapokaj's opinion. At the gently placed kiss, sweetest of smiles grows gently on slender lips, curling into one that shows a light sly expression. Keeping eye-contact with the magnificent beast before her, Tapokaj winks softly, her foot beginning to trace one of Tyael's legs once more, a more seductive touch to it this time. She could only hope, that he was enjoying it..</span>
(My apologies.. haven't been able to get online lately..) Xizor stared at the line in front of him... Good god! How much longer will this take? Risking a glance back to Tapokaj, he smirked as he saw her playing with the male. Amusing... Xizor himself had no real lust feelings for her, just a comrade/friend feeling. The line in front of him didn't move... Xizor started to get annoyed.... annoyed = mad = .. boom! With that, Xizor pushed, shoved, and tossed people out of the way to get to the front. Getting to the front, he was about to yell for the barkeeper, when he noticed he wasn't there... Good god! How can a barkeeper abandon his post in times like this? Scanning the room for the barkeeper, he found him giving a black bag to Tapokaj... Was everyone but him attracted to her? STill a bit angry, XIzor simply leaped over the bar, and got the drinks for himself. Threading his way back to the table, he said "My apologies for the delay... There was some line troubles.." OOC: This post is crappy.. very crappy.. ah well.
<span style='color:gray'> A sigh of relief emitted from delicate throat, as Xizor neared the table with his apologies for being delayed. Line troubles, hm? Probably because a certain someone had kept the bar keeper 'busy'.. "No problem, old friend. And don't worry, I'll get the next round." Lightly the feline grins up at her companion, reching for her tall glass with one hand, the other still wrapped around Tyael's. Lifting it to her lips, she knowcks back a good half of the twisting mixed drink of alcohol and orange. Anyone could see why it's more common nickname is the 'screwdriver'. With a light shake of her long tresses, feline settles, letting the stimulating liquid burn and roll it's way down the back of her throat. Letting it settle, she places glass back upon the table, looking from the pair of her friends.</span>
"And I the next..." thought Tylael, as he surreptitiously felt for his purse. He hoped he had enough with him... It would be rather embrarrassing otherwise. "Thanks", he said to Xizor as he took his drink. He looked at it warily, wondering how he would ever be able to finish it. He knew it's taste, and he rather liked it, but he had only had a sip from the Boss's glass the last time. Would one glass get him drunk? He dearly hoped not. Tapokaj didn't seem to have such problems. In fact, he wondered how she could down so much in one go. Would it appear as weakness if he only drank his cocktail, one sip at a time? Carefully lifting the tall glass, he brought it to his lips, tilted it slightly, allowing only a few drops to make contact with his tongue. At first, it seemed to burn a little, but finding it far from unpleasant, he tilted it some more, drinking as much as he could. It was only when he had placed the glass back on the table that he realised he had drank slightly more than half in a go. Perhaps a little too much, a little too fast... Already, he was feeling slightly merrier than only instants before, and his head slightly heavier... Perhaps he should wait before drinking any more. Perhaps the dizziness would go away if he did just that.
<span style='color:gray'> Slender fingers of one hand were still wrapped silently around the tall glass, swirling the liquid within slowly, softly. Amber gaze seemed to focus in on in silently, watching the cool colours within, that near matched the light dots on her coat. The alcohol that had already burnt it's way down her throat was now settling in her stomach, warming her all over, light bubbles tickling her insides. The tantalizing liquid appeared to be having it's effect already, making her all the more happy, as she sat, already content - paw in Tyael's. Looking up to the dark emerald male, she studied his cocktail. Hmm, fancy taste, in her opinion. The one before her appeared all the more classy with a delicate cocktail placed before him - 'twas a sigh she could easily get used to seeing.. And she intended on it. She wouldn't be leaving this tavern without her male she seeked.. He'd already downed just over half of the liquid already, which came as a suprise to the orange seductress. He certainly didn't appear the sort that would get drunk, but even so - if he did, it would be quite amusing.. And of course, Tapokaj would take care of him. If her were too drunk to get home, she'd of course have to take him back to her place.. A light grin plays over her features, as she thinks of the possibilities that may come to pass.. If only enough alcohol was put in place.</span>
Sieben shook his head a bit then closed his eyes suddenly as a black arua began to come forth from his body, rolling off like a black mist of sorts. He opens his eyes once more then reaches his hand up removing his shades looking to the notie that he saved from before. She gazed upon him as he did her then smirked as he reached his hand out to the girl then places it against the back of her free hand that was resting peacefully against the table. Her eyes jolt as the arua of darkness began to consume her and cause the same bodily effect. Sieben shook his head at the girl as her eyes began to fade from a light green to a bright red arua that was continuously getting brighter. He rose up from the table holding the girl's hand then she rose as well. Moments into this transaction the girl began to change physically and become more adult right before all's eyes. Sieben turned his eyes back to the orange female, looking to her with his bright blue glowing eyes, consuming her with every look. The girl that was now a young lady turns her red glowing eyes towards the orange seductress's pal that was on the opposite side of the table then smirks looking upon him.
<span style='color:gray'> Feeling the cold gaze of bright blue eyes upon her, Tapokaj turns her head slightly, not suprised to find the ashen male staring at her once more. It appeared though, that he'd already found a new lady friend, one with dazzling, and somewhat creepy, glowing scarlet eyes. But, had she not seen him re-enter the tavern with a child..? Perhaps not, maybe it was someone else. Oh well, as long as this ashen male was pleased with his new catch, perhaps he'd stay away from the orange seductress.. But no, it seemed there was something else planned. This young lady didn't appear at all interested in the large ashen one that stood before her, but more so in Tyael.. Her piercing gaze was all over him, maw plastered with a smirk. What was she planning..? She appeared to be interested in the handsome, dark green male.. Well. She couldn't have him. The gorgeous creature sat on the opposite side of the table belonged only to Tapokaj, whether the red-eyed beast liked it or not. And, she'd make sure of that. The slow, delicate tracing of Tapokaj's foot continues gently up and down Tyael's leg, a pure, seductive touch added slyly. This one was hers.. She felt something for him, and wanted nothing more then for it to grow. Keeping fingers wrapped gently around emerald paw, the speckled one leans in, her lips a mere half-inch from his ear. Near silently she whispers, enough to send a shiver down his spine. "It seems I'm not the only one attracting attention.."</span>
Sieben shook his head slowly then turned his eyes away from the orange seductress. Why did I bother to waste my time...," he spoke turning away from her then sighs a bit looking to his new found compaion then away going out to the exit of the tavern. "Comeon my daughter...he will be free when that seductress is done with him." He spoke coldy then the female turned her eyes away from the male casting out an artic lash of her tail slapping him on the shoulder as she turns to follow him. Sieben whispers forth to the orange female once more about how they will cross once more out of life then he closes his eyes walking out of the building as the female followed. ooc: sorry, I'm going to end myself in this thread...-.- Sorry for such a poor time.
<span style='color:gray'> ooc| Only leave if you really think it's necessary, Sieben.. I thought your last post was really good, like the ashen male had created a slave to try and pull Tyael away from Tapokaj.. But, if you feel you need to leave, then okay. The choice is yours.</span>
Well, he had defnitely been wrong. The dizziness had not gone away, and, if anything, it was even stronger than before. Trying to shake off the virtigo, Tylael closed his eyes, his paw still firmly in Tapokaj's. Her touch both above and under the table seemed to have an appeasing, soothing effect on him. He didn't think he'd ever experienced anything like it. And, in a way, he was glad that to have consumed alcohol, for he didn't have to think about the consequences of his actions. Well, not just yet anyways. He still seemed rather in control, if not of his thoughts, at least of his actions. He hadn't gone any made a fool of himself. "It seems I'm not the only one attracting attention.." "Hmm ?" he uttered, his eyes flying open, immediately focusing on those of his loved-one. Once his brain registered her words he gave her a puzzled look, raising his head slightly to see what she had been talking about. there was the Ashen male. Again. What was he up to this time? And next to him was... The most beautiful being he had ever seen. "Huh?! I did NOT just think that. Tapokaj is, by far, the most beautiful being I have ever seen." And yet... Though he did not know this, his eyes began to glow, if only slightly, and then to darken. Somehow, he felt as though his confused mind was being pushed down by someone else's will, forced into silence and impotence. What was going on?! "This is wrong. So very wrong ! Come on, you know that is the little niotie from before... He's just trying to get you to fall for that... Exquisite creature." No. No. NO. He would not tolerate these mind games. Quickly, and slightly reluctantly, breaking eye contact with the young girl. In an instant, he was almost back to his former self, though an invisible force seemed to be trying to get him to look after the two 'dragons as they got up to leave... OOC: Like Xestri said.
<span style='color:gray'> Her beloved's eyes flashed open, the cutest of puzzled expression playing about his face for a mere few seconds. Perhaps the alcohol was having a slight effect on him.. She was probably right in thinking that he didn't drink often. But still, even if the drink did take an unatural effect on his body, the orange seductress would be more then happy to take care of him. Silently she focused in on his eyes, as they glancd to the ashen male's company. He'd see nothing in her, surely? Simply roll his eyes and look away? Focus back in on their little drinking session.. Tapokaj couldn't have been more wrong. Tyael's fantastic, golden-rimmed optics seemed to widen at the sight of the scarlet-eyed female, locking onto her thin, curvacious body, and mesmorising glowing gaze. How could he do this to her? How could he sit, and practically druel at the fresh meat that was eyeing him so? Was he the type to fall for anything on a pair of long legs? Amber gaze seemed to soften, the faintest expression of sadness swirling somewhere deep within them. It wasn't often that a male would get to her, but Tyael certianly had. Soft ears fell back slightly, showing her no longer enthusiastic mood. Fingers slipped from Tyael's hand gently, wrapping around her tall glass. Leaning back into the bench, the rest of the liquid was downed in an instant, a glare of pure hatred flashed at the scarlet-eyed femme as she left the tavern.</span>
Don't look at her. Just, don't. Don't. Don't. Don't he repeated over and over... Was he under some kind of spell? He must be. If so, how could he fight it? Eyes still firmly shut, lest they might stray where he wished not, Tylael tried not to think of the two pretty femmes. He had to be strong he thought, relishing in the warmth of Tapokaj's paw. He would not give in to these mind games... But, just as he was beginning to think of a way of resisting the invisible force, his loved one quickly withdrew her paw, leaving his cold and weak. It was as if someone had just severed a vital link, one that provided him the strenght and the will to go on, to resist. Once again, his eyes grew wide, uncomprehending. Why?! A look of concern, of longing and of despair consuming his bight orbs, he looked up at her, questioningly. What was wrong? Had she seen? Did she think... But no, no, NO! SHE was the one he loved... Couldn't she see that? didn't she know that she was all his heart desired, that he had not wanted to feel anything for any other as he did for her? He was hers... All hers... He'd do anything just to be able to run away with his sweet seductress ! Groping, as would a young Nioti his mother's arm, he quickly grabbed her paw, a look of urgency apparent on his face. As soon as his skin made contact with hers, he seemed to relax, his features less tensed, though his eyes still questioned, still begged for forgiveness, for understanding. It was her, and not other that he loved. Her tresses, her eyes, her lips, that was all he wished to dream about for the rest of his days.
<span style='color:gray'> Amber gaze full of hurt and upset flickered quietly back to Tyeal, searching his optics for some sign of his emotions. Surely he had not been leading her along all this time? Surely he saw nothing in the cruel scarlet-eyed femme that had near ruined everything within a mere second. She needed another drink. A strong one. Dark green paw was soon right back on hers, grabbing it, and clinging to it helplessly. The handsome one was aware that she had seen his glimpse of lust for the other. Good. It had hurt her, all within the slightest instent, a flash of want for the other in golden-rimmed, emerald optics. Usually at this point, the orange seductress would've snuffed her company. Cruelly turned her nose away, and let him plead embarrassingly for forgiveness in front of all others present. But, the urgency that lay within his features, the need that swirled in his eyes.. She couldn't bring herself to do such a thing to her beloved. He was special, and had to be treated so. Titlting her head a little, Tapokaj looks deep into the eyes of the one sat opposite her. She keeps a light grip on his paw, as though not wanting him to run off after the other, but her form stays leant back against the bench protruding from the wall. Whispering tones seem a little horse, slightly shocked, and laced with a mixture of sadness and frustration. ".. You want her, don't you?"</span>
Xizor noted all this with a slight unease. He was never to good with females, and never really could understand them. But then again, what male could? He watched as Tyael eyes flicked to the new female.. Wow, he sure got distracted easily. And poor Tapokaj (did I spell that right?) was attracted to the new guy too... How easily the world changes. You want her, don't you? As these words were said, Xizor's unease grew a bit. He felt that he was slightly out of place... "Right, well, I think I need a breath of fresh air. I'm going to step out for a bit.." OOC: Its like 5:30 here.. actualy 5:50.. but I've been up since four trying to make up work... so sorry for the badness of this post..
OOC: Are the Ashen male and the girl still in the tavern? BIC: ".. You want her, don't you?" He felt like bursting out and yelling a loud 'NO' that would drown all other noise, but he knew that it would be lie. Though he did not want to want the stranger, he felt strangely compelled to her, as if she had somehow tied a leesh around his neck and was forcing him to look at her. He would have liked to kneel there and then and beg forgiveness, to swear her eternal love an loyalty. But how could he trust the veracity of his love if a speel could so easily break it? "Right, well, I think I need a breath of fresh air. I'm going to step out for a bit.." Nodding gratefully to Xizor, he let his free paw mess his already messy hair. "Tapokaj. Against my will I want her. But I love you, and you only." Somehow he felt what he had said had not come through as he would have liked it to, but he couldn't have cried out that he thought he was under some kind of spell the Ashen male might have cast either. Why did everything have to be so confusing? His throat felt dry as he spoke, and without realising what he was doing, he drank what remained of his drink.
<span style='color:gray'> ooc| Nope, I don't think they're in the tavern anymore.. ic| Silently the feline watched, as her dear companion Xizor left. It was no suprise to her, he probably felt frightningly uncomfortable throughout the whole situation.. His brief exit would most likely be for the best, whilst the pair sat opposite one another fixed their problems. Gaze locked onto Tyaels, as Tapokaj listened quietly to his words. So, he did want the other. But, what did he mean by wanting her against his own will? There was something odd about the other, her sudden appearance, and creepy, glowing scarlet optics. Perhaps she was using magic? Either that, or.. The Ashen male was. He did appear to want her prior to her discovery of Tyael, perhaps this scarlet-eyed feline was his solution? To split the new pair.. But I love you, and you only. Had she heard correctly? The words almost came out of no where, a decleration of the dark green male's true emotions. Was he speaking the truth, though? Did he mean it? The pleading look in his captivating eyes seemed to tell her yes, that his words were not false. Her amber gaze widens ever so slightly for a few mere seconds, but then soften, accompanied by a warm smile. "..I love you, too." These words were also true, as the orange seductress had never felt such strong emotions for any other. He was the one, and now, she knew, that he was hers. And in turn, she now belonged to him.. Both glasses, once filled with sweet alcohol, were empty, and the feline suspected that the pair of them could probably both do with another drink or two. Gently she pulls her fingers from his hands grasp, lifting the two glasses that resided quietly upon the wooden table. It was her round as she had said before, and she would keep her word, and order two of the same again. Quietly she stood, making her way around the edge of the table, gaze still focused on that of her beloved. Hesitating for a few moments, she leans down towards Tyael, placing a small and quick yet gentle kiss on his lips, not staying long enough for him to retaliate with one of his own. With that she slid towards the bar, leaving the darkened male wanting more. </span>
Had she understood? That he truly loved her and that nothing else mattered, not the evil temptress who had tried to steal him away, not anyone ! He loved her and her only. He thought she did, and his latent smile widened. He was about to say something when she got up and silenced him with a kiss. And what a kiss... Short and sweet. A little 'avant-gout' of what, he hoped would come later... As she went to the bar to order more drinks, he marvelled at the softness of her lips, the perfection of her features... She was the epitome of perfection. Understanding, forgiving, gentle... So... "Feminine." he decided. Twas strange how he could pass from anger, to confusion, sadness and finally bliss again. Was it the alcohol that had this affect on him? That made all of this feel so surreal...
<span style='color:gray'> Leaning quietly against the bar, slender figure highly exaggerated in a smooth curve, a small grin had curled it's way into Tapokaj's lips. The taste of the dark green God was still faint on them, in fact leaving the feline wanting more of the same. Unknowning that Tyael was thinking the same, she too was in the hopes of the kiss being just a little taster of what was to come. Orange seductress was aware of the handsome male's love for her, but was his lust as strong? Hers certainly was.. It would be interesting to see what kind of lover the fantastic beast made.. As these near erotic thoughts ran swiftly across her mind, Tapokaj's gaze had absent mindedly drifted to Tyael, looking each visable inch of his body up and down, over and over. He wasn't a very forward male, in the sense of most others in Bhim - huge, cocky, and full of themselves. Feline was used to beasts like that. But no, Tyal wasn't exactly the bulkiest, muscliest of creatures, but, in opinion of the love-struck seductress - he came well equipped with a great body. Trim, and well kept, covered in a beautiful layer of darkest emerald fur. She had felt it when holding his hand. He certainly did have a soft touch. Feline couldn't help but ponder whether these delicate hands would be useful elsewhere.. Light grin grew slightly at this thought, Tapokaj shaking her head lightly, to control her ever-growing aroused feeling. If she didn't start concentrating on her surroundings, then the almost-horny female could see herself tackling the gorgeous creature sat at the table, pinning him to the bench, and taking him. Would he stop her? Or would they.. do it, right there in the bar? Shaking her head once more, to throw these sexual images from her mind, Tapokaj turns back to the bar, ordering more drinks. Two of the same - Tyael's classy cocktail, and her vodka & orange. Though, more vodka, this time. More alcohol might help gain confidence.. Not that it was her that needed any. She had thought about asking for a higher content of alcohol in Tyael's drink, but decided against it. One, he may not've been able to stomach it. And two, it was rather mean. Best to keep a strong level of trust between the two of them. Nodding to the barkeeper, and placing the right amount of silver coins in his hand, Tapokaj lifts the two drinks, weaving this way and that, threading her way back to their table, back to her beloved. Quietly smiling she sits, pushing Tyael's glass towards him. She appeared sly, as though pretending that she hadn't boldly kissed the handsome green male quickly before.</span>
His head was still dizzy, and it had been so for so long he was almost used to it, the vertigo was almost a part of him. It was strange how when he tilted his head slightly, the world would suddenly blend, to blur on the edges, only to sharpen again after a few seconds. It amused him, and his head seemed to be floating on a cloud of happiness. What was on his mind however, were not the effects of his drinking... Closing his eyes, he entered an entirely different world, far from reality, far from everything. A silent beach, the only noise coming from the low murmur of the turquoise waves as they came and went. And there she was, his loved one. Tresses flying in the wind, fingers playing with them lazily as she lay in the sand. Lifted by her sight, walking towards her, he felt his heart beat quicker with every step. Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump thump thump. He had reached her, and before he knew what he was doing he leaned close to her, whispering softly to her ear... "Tapokaj, I love y-" Opening his eyes and thus leaving his dream world, he prepared to face the harshness of reality. None of what he had dream would ever happen. Or could it? There she was, tresses framing her beautiful face, and in her paws... More alcohol. Taking his 'Swarajan' and softly thanking her, he wondered what he should do. To drink or not to drink, that is the question... Or would have been, had he been able to think properly. Instead, he brought the glass to his still dry throat, tilting it back and drinking a fair bit. Instantly, he felt his insides burn, then warm up. His vision blurred slightly, and before he knew what he was doing, he had brought his paw to her cheek and leaned forward, muzzle inches from her ear, and had said the very same words he had been about to tell her in his dreams... "I love you."
<span style='color:gray'> Sat quietly at the table, feline directed bright amber gaze to her beloved, watching his every movement. His eyes had closed, perhaps he was tired? No.. The way his expressions were twitching and and moving every so slightly - he was daydreaming. But, what about? Quite a mystery, and one that intruiged the trim seductress quite a bit. The thoughts of her loved-one, sifting this way and that through his brilliant mind. Eyes soon opened once again though, the daydream, whatever it may have been about, over. Beautiful emerald optics, rimmed with finest gold, had focused on hers right away. His gaze seemed so strong, so powerful, so loving. A thanks was directed for the drink, and almost immediately, the handsome creature before slender feline had downed a lot of it. Perhaps she had been wrong - maybe Tyael was a drinker.. Lifting her glass, she too poured burning liquid down her throat, waiting for it to settle in a warm feelign in her stomach. "I love you." Such strong words, representing even stronger emotions, had been repeated for the second time from Tyael's lips.. Surely he meant them - such a thing couldn't be lied about. And of course, best of all, feelings were mirrored in the heart of orange seductress. "I love you, too.." A gentle smiled plays silently about Tapokaj's feline features, as once more, she leans forward, placing the softest of affectionate kisses on Tyael's lips. This one lingers though, lasting longer than the last. Afterwards, she hesitates, licking her lips gently, as though to savour the taste of her beloved. "..What were you thinking about before?"</span>
