Deadly Situation (Alastin)

[Alastin]

Alastin returned the hug with her letting her old him tightly as he lightly nuzzled her neck for a moment enjoying the warmth. It wasn't one of those short hugs either it was a long hug and Alastin sighed softly and contently. He felt so warm and content in that hug in a way also save should he ever get afraid of something he felt that Ziare would be able to just banish it at a single touch. He blinked at that thought for a moment. Why did he just think about that right then? It wasn't like they were a couple or anything that close. He shook his head mentally but, in reality he was nuzzling into her a bit more savoring the warmth. He nuzzled her a bit more as they stayed like that. For several long minutes they stayed in the center of the room in that embrace and then he looked up. He saw her pulling away and he reluctently let go himself but, he smiled at the thank you.

"It's not a problem. It never was," he said softly as he watched her head to the bed and walked with her over to the bed seeing her sit down. Twiddling her thumbs and then looking up at him as if asking what to do. As if she wanted him to tell her what to do with her time and that made him blink.

What am I supposed to do?!

~Suggest something.~

Alot of help you are...

~Don't be so surly.~

Why?

~Doesn't make you cute.~

Alastin got onto the bed but, he layed down beside Zi his head near her leg as he hummed in thought. What for her to do he really didn't know what she used to do before all of this happened. He tapped his fingers against the blanket and looked up for her.

"Hmmmmm maybe take up a craft hobby. I do model-kit building in my spare time. Maybe you could make jewelry or something like that. Orrrrr do writing. Sometimes writing helps alot." he said with one of those innocent smiles.

[Ziare]

Jewelry making? Could she do something so intricate? She leaned against the wall for a moment thinking it over. She would have to go shopping which meant to leave the safety of the school and her room. Thus far she hadn't left her room much unless it was to go to Alastin's for help. She loved her room and she loved the quiet serinity that came with it. She had changed a lot and now where once she had loved being around people and meeting new ones she had turned into more of a recluse than anything.

As for writing she did that anyway but right now her only ideas were sad and dark ones so she wanted to wait a bit longer before she tried to work on her stories again. Silently she stood and went into her large closet grabbing some things before she disappeared into the bathroom. She wasn't going to go out on the town looking like death warmed over.

She silently undressed setting her things aside. This was taking the utmost of courage. Pulling up a pair of jeans where the waist was now a bit too big she buttoned and smoothed them around her body. Pulling on a white but slightly fuzzy sweater that too hugged her curves she smoothed it down. It was a stretchy sweater so it actually looked like it fit. She slipped on her black high heeled boots and put her jeans over them smoothing them down again before she took the biggest step since speaking.

She reached up and took her hair down. The platinum blonde lockes fell down around her thin body like silk as she ran her brush through them to smoothe them out a bit more. With that finished she swallowed hard and blushing she stepped out of her bathroom nodding towards the door. If she was taking up a new hobby she needed to go shopping. She grabbed her purse trying not to cringe at the thought of going outside.

[Alastin]

Alastin smiled at her and watched her stand up going to go change in her bathroom. He didn't really see what she grabbed before she dissapeared in the bathroom leaving him with nothing to do but, wait at the moment. He studied her room for a few more moments but, he was quickly gaining a note of boredom and he finally stood up and walked over to where his shoes were. He slipped them on and hummed softly but, saw Kaladra on one of the perches in the room. His fingers itched to stroke her feathers gently as he walked over to where the pheonix was perched. Lightly and with a careful hand he reached out feeling the radiating warmth of the firebird. Alastin gave another of those innocent smiles but, Kaladra had so far trusted him so he couldn't help it. Lightly his fingers touched the beautiful plummage of the chest feathers. Slowly they went through the beautiful and warm feathers lightly touching and stroking them.

"Such beautiful feathers and so warm..." Alastin said softly as he lightly touched Kaladra's chest feathers in gentle stroking and touching motions. It felt so wonderful and so nice to feel these feathers. Feeling their radiating warmth. It was soft and had that comforting warmth though Alastin was pretty sure Kaladra could heat them up if she chose.

"You must be very proud of these feathers they're so wonderful," Alastin said with a bright smile as he heard the bathroom door open and turned. Yet again Ziare had shown a new surprise and he almost wanted to gaze in awe for a moment. Silken locks fell down around her like a curtain the shimmering color even more pronounced when she stepped in the light. A sweater that fit her wonderfully and showed off her delicate curves. He was seeing an image of what Ziare was before the tragedy that had happened to her. Soft jeans hugged her hips a bit loosely yet at the same time they fit her so wonderfully showed what she was like truly. Alastin gave a soft smile not missing the boots either that seemed to round out the outfit totally as he saw her grab her purse and look a bit afraid. He couldn't blame her he hadn't seen her really go out much or heard of it.

"You look nice," he said softly to her as he took her hand gently and walked to the door with her opening it and letting her go out first and closing the door behind her. Slowly they began the downward trek but, Alastin stayed by her side as they continued.

"Ok more then nice you look very beautiful right now," Alastin said warmly to her and nudged her semi-playfully to try and distract her from her nervousness.
