Talk Floral to Me - Kila - 01-09-2018
Thread Status: Closed
Players involved: Kila, Hera
Characters involved: Charlie, Kurai
Setting: Conquest Fortress, War Fortress, and the lands between
Time: Current - early morning, shortly after sunrise
Weather: A bit rainy
Over the past six weeks, Charlie had come to the Conquest Fortress on a few occasions. Or rather, whenever her training would allow her. She was constantly exhausted, and the bags under her eyes grew darker and darker with each visit. With the death of another oracle, she'd been given a chance to slip away. Things would be too busy at home, and it provided her with a well needed reprieve from her near constant training. She was a normal woman here--at least, normal enough.
She lifted her hood to reveal her face at the fortress' doors, and was allowed entry. The servants here no longer questioned her presence. They knew she had a place in their master's bed, and none would dare question him. One of the servants took her damp cloak as she ascended the stairs to Kurai's room. Today, she decided, was going to be a good day. She was going to see Kurai, she was going to get some rest, and it would be good.
Servants side-stepped out of her way as she walked through the halls, grateful for the warmth of the fortress as it seeped its way into her bones. Today would be a good day.
Without knocking, she opened the dor to Kurai's chambers and walked inside.
"You won't believe what's happening," she said with a sigh. "But at least it let me get away for a while."
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Achera - 01-09-2018
The day had seemed to be filled with commotion with the news of yet another oracle falling despite the oracle supposedly having protection. While each oracle's death brought more chaos to the world around them, the lord paid little attention to the matter. First it was a human, then a wolf. Now it was one of the dragon's, but why was he supposed to care? Their god had already assured all monarchs that it meant little to them and even gifted them with the presence of their oracle.
A sharp tsk came from the male as he remembered more about her. A beautiful woman, eyes slit like a dragon. She was no purebred demon, but what did that matter to him? It was her demonic blood that mattered and unfortunately, he lost that to Death. "Another one for dear Razor, of course," Kurai growled to himself as he sat up in bed, his latest conquest curled up into his side desiring his touch. However, he gave no mind to her. His mind was still on the events of the demons' meeting and how he couldn't even claim the oracle as his own. With little notice, Kurai swiftly jumped from the bed, causing the female to whine in protest. "I'll be in the bath," was all he said before disappearing into his bathroom to wash himself of his latest toy.
Behind closed doors, the lord rested with his head on the edge of the tub, letting the water warm him. From the bed rested his play toy, happily curled up where he once resided. The peace was soon shattered as the main doors were thrown open. Kurai's eyes shot up, infuriated for a moment as to who would dare to enter without his explicit permission, but the following voice calmed the disgruntled lord as he laid back into the water. "This will be fun," he mused to himself as he just listened to what Charlie had to say and what the girl in bed would do.
The girl meanwhile had no idea who would come in, for no one ever disturbed them unless Kurai asked for a servant. The sight of another woman though left the girl a bit uneasy. Who did she think she was? Able to come into the lord's chambers as if she owned the place? The girl, however, simply sat up a bit; using her forearm to support her weight as she looked to the newcomer.
"If you're looking for master, he's in the bath." It was all she said before laying back down to enjoy the rest of her relaxation. Kurai would set things straight. A pet who didn't know their place would be discarded soon enough.
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Kila - 01-09-2018
"Oh good," Charlie replied to the woman coolly. "Be gone by the time I come back. You bore me." She waved the other demon off dismissively as she walked past the bed, already removing her clothing--except her mask--and discarding them on her way to the bathroom.
She turned the knob and, finally shedding her mask, entered like it was the most natural thing in the world. The lord was, of course, enjoying a nice soak, and she had every intention on joining him.
"So a dragon bit the dust this time," she said dryly as she climbed into the water across from the man. Kurai likely already knew. "And all the cacophony gave me time to slip away from home, so I came here." She stood in the water, stretching as she got comfortable. Her body was visibly thinner, with her spine and ribs tugging at her skin, and there were dark circles under her eyes. With a sigh, Charlie sank into the water up to her neck. "Your little pet out there is obnoxious, by the way. Acting like she's better than me. I'd like to cut out her tongue and let the birds peck at her eyes." She, of course, wasn't serious, but there was a glimmer in her eyes that said she'd love to teach that little wench who was in charge.
Charlie gave another sigh, all too heavy for one so young, and leaned back against the edge of the tub. She didn't need to explain to Kurai that she was tired, or why she was there. All that mattered was that she came, and that this was her reprieve from, well, everything.
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Achera - 01-09-2018
An arched eyebrow appeared as the lord saw heard the first notions of the doorknob turning. It seemed as if his toy was dealt with swiftly by his pet. As if he weren't surprised by the outcome of that. What he wasn't so sure would happen would be for his little kitten to come to his bath. Surely it would be for a scolding over the woman that was in his bed. Thankfully her verbal onslaught started off with the oracle, but that only brought out a groan of annoyance from the Lord. The last thing he wanted to talk about was the oracle. At least the odd phenomenon had brought him a nice treat.
Kurai studied the girl's body as she stretched, running his eyes over every inch of her. He had seen her a few times, yes, but each time brought a frailer version of the woman who had intrigued him so much the first time. Bone was beginning to show and sure enough, those bags under her eyes darker than the last time. It looked like War did take training their heirs a bit more seriously than he first imagined, but why so late in her age? She was still a baby in comparison to him, but most of this training was already done with his son by the time he finished his first hundred years. Never had his son looked this... frail.
"You come into my room, much less my bath, and no kiss? I thought I trained you better than that Kitten," he mused, watching the frail woman as she slumped into his bath. He paid no mind to the other comments. If she was to be in his domain, she knew the rules. The first of which involved some sort of treat to her master.
He beckoned her with a motion of his hand. "Come Kitten. You're too far away from me."
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Kila - 01-09-2018
"Have you washed the stink of whore off yourself?" she replied with a tease, her lips pulling into a smile, though her eyes were tired. Without further complaint, Charlie slipped across the bath and met Kurai's lips with her own in a long and deep kiss. Settling down at his side, once more completely submerged in the bath's soothing water, Charlie allowed herself to sigh and her eyes to close.
I'm sorry you have to see me like this, she wanted to say. Kurai would call her weak and send her away. Her chest ached again, as did her entire body. She could feel herself wasting away, but eating had become a chore, and most of what she ate came back up anyways. There was no point, so Charlie had taken to throwing her meals to the birds outside her window. Her constant anxiety made her nauseous. Her training gave her headaches. And the Lunaria he was made to drink did nothing but fog her mind instead of 'deepening her connection to her magic', or whatever bullshit her aunt fed her.
Kurai had become her reprieve. Her one solace in her current life, but Charlie could feel his eyes on her body as she rotted. They were filled with nothing but pity for her weakness. It isn't my fault! she wanted to scream, but she knew better. The words would do her no well here. Or anywhere. So he princess bit her tongue and swallowed her feelings. It just meant she would have to work harder to learn control magic. She had to. Failure. Was not. An option.
Her eyes had closed, and she'd slipped deeper into the water, which was now just under her lower lip. "I'm glad to see you." Her voice was soft and far away, like mist. It was as weak as she would allow herself to be.
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Achera - 01-09-2018
Kurai chuckled a bit at the comment, but he didn't say anything otherwise. He figured she wouldn't be pleased walking in on him with another, but at least they weren't in the act. Maybe it would have been better if they had been. My, would he have loved to see that. The male met her lips with his own, enjoying the moment as she gave what energy she could to give him a proper greeting.
However, he couldn't let her simply go to the side. No, the conquest demon guided the girl by her waist and situated her between his legs with her back towards him so she could rest against his chest. He let her slip into the water, careful to watch to make sure that she didn't go too far down and no longer could breath. He gave a small smile, knowing she couldn't see him. "I'm glad you slipped away," he replied back in a faint voice. He leaned down to kiss the top of her head before pulling her body into his a bit from her waist. She had become so frail... It was almost as if she were of Death and not War.
"So what is it you're looking for today Princess? You never visit without a reason." Generally it was sexual with them, but her body was weak. Even the last few visits had been questionable, but what would she want today?
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Kila - 01-10-2018
Why did everything have to be about what she wanted? The reminder of what her father had said, and her perpetual lack of an answer, left a sour taste in her mouth.
"Can't I just want to visit without some ulterior motive?" Her voice came out sharper than she'd intended, and Charlie pinched the bridge of her nose. She groaned, "Sorry, it's just...ugh." Resting her head against his chest, Charlie reached up to play with the ends of Kurai's hair. "It'll probably sound stupid to you." As much as she wanted to keep her reasons to herself, Kurai always seemed to have a way of drawing them out of her.
Probably because she was weak for his affection.
"I just really wanted some company, is all." Her words hid so much when she spoke. Home has been awful. She could never admit that, not to another lord. Making her kingdom look weak was a sin. A mistake. I can't use my magic. She couldn't admit that, either. I don't know what I want. No. Being at home is literally killing me. No. I can relax when I'm around you. Gods no! I don't feel so sick here. No. No.
No.
She had taken her hand away from Kurai's hair at some point, and ducked it back beneath the water. For a moment tears stung her eyes, and Charlie ran wet hands over her face to conceal them. She was so tired. Vaerath made a mistake and she wasn't living up to the expectations of a god or even her father.
Charlie focused on her breathing in an effort to keep herself from breaking. It was working, for now at least. It as a small mercy.
"I also brought you something."
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Achera - 01-10-2018
Kurai just watched as she went through another of her fits, similar to how she had been the first time they met. It was interesting to watch, seeing how she knew how much he hated her self doubt, but this time it was different. She had a sting in her words almost like venom that hadn't been there the first time. No, she was fighting. He could see that, but had it all become too much for that small body of hers?
He dipped his head down, pushing her head towards the side so he could give her neck a few light kisses. His arms held her snuggly in place as he gave a few tender kisses, mixed with a nip here and there. Kurai gave another kiss, but this time he opened his mouth to let his fangs run along her neck as she spoke. She seemed to seek his attention, how could she not? It bothered the lord little to give it to her and besides, he got his favorite toy in his arms. "Well it's not natural for another kingdom's royal to come so often to a lord's domain," he replied as he gave her neck another tender kiss. "If you wanted company, that's still an ulterior motive."
The lord gave a faint smirk as his kisses were soon replaced with a long lick of her neck; trailing from the base towards her chin. He pulled away from her afterwards. He was done messing with the girl for now. Kurai was a simple man when it came to women and it typically involved preoccupying himself with their bodies. For now though, he was satisfied with his small teasing. The lord gave another kiss on the top of her head as he pulled her closer into his body, letting the two of them rest against the edge of the tub.
"Is that right kitten? What did you bring for me today?"
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Kila - 01-10-2018
"You and your semantics," the princess said, rolling her eyes as she enjoyed the lord's kisses. "What matters is that I'm here, no? So let's just enjoy it." She gave a throaty chuckle as she rested herself against his body. He was such a tease, but she supposed that was one of the things she liked about him. As long as she could relax, Charlie was happy, and gave a contented sigh.
She ignored his question, for now. It'd be more fun to draw it out. Get a little bit of what she wanted.
Turning around to straddle him, Charlie looked up at the lord with big, wide eyes, her lips in a pout. "But where would the fun be if I just told you?" She placed her hands on his chest and kissed his jaw softly. "There wouldn't be any fun at all," she pouted, pressing herself against him.
"And," she began, "I'm rather hungry, if you can believe that. So I propose we share a nice meal. And when the food gets here I'll give you your present then." Charlie gave him a wink as she pulled away from his lap. She'd have to evade his sticky fingers, but that was certainly fun in and of itself. Charlie pulled herself from the bath, and already she was looking better; healthier. Color had returned to her face, and a sparkle to her eyes.
"Don't keep a lady waiting."
RE: Talk Floral to Me - Achera - 01-10-2018
My, the tease as always. At least she was remembering some of her lessons from here, even if she wasn't visiting with the intention to have any lessons. Even now she knew how to try to get him, letting her body straddle his; only to tease at him even more. Before he could pull her in for a more intimate time, Charlie was out of his grasp and already teasing him once more. Even in her frail state, she was still as beautiful as ever.
"Go put in an order with the servants," he replied as his eyes skimmed over ever curve of her body. "I believe someone said I still have to wash the scent of whore off of me." His iridescent eyes soon caught hers. She had some life back in her, that was good. A smirk appeared as he playfully challenged the girl a bit. Would she do as he said or still request he got out now?
"Go make yourself at home Kitten. I'll be out soon."
