Fate Does The Wierdest Things (Invites)

[Alastin]

Alastin had gone shopping today.

Something that was surprising of the young healer since he was almost always found at Ziare's side ever since he came to the Academy. It was a choice he never regrettted since he started that commitment to her. She was more then worth it and had made him a very happy young man in the process once they got past those little barriers. He was humming softly as the cold meant he was wearing a lavender scarf that matched his hair and he looked more like the cliche healer in this regard with the long jacket and the same gentle demeanor that he was noted for.

He was humming to himself lightly as he entered a certain Ice Cream shop his cheeks flushing when he remembered the inside and what had happened a time ago in here. Yeah that first time they had done something more then light touches or even the mention of something further. Still the cold and wind of the outside hid the real reason why his cheeks were red as he ordered a brownie sundae. He was a healer he knew when he could treat himself with the bad stuff so nyah! He soon had his ice cream and was sitting in the window seat happily eating the ice cream savoring bite by bite and seriously considering taking some home with him to share with Ziare....maybe get some hot fudge and then...

[Phae]

((Lexi and I wrote this post together so it would work just a tad better for our first post))

Phae and Lexi giggled softly. Walking arm in arm they must have been some sight. Firstly and foremostly, there was the gothic girl dressed in a short black skirt those long high socks and a black and red torn and safetypinned button down shirt. Her black and marroon hair hund down to her shoulders. On this girl's arm, one Lexi Giovanni, was one red headed Phae Weiss. Of course Phae was naturally Lexi's opposite but perhaps that was why they got along so well. Phae of course being her normal preppy sexy self was dressed in a short denim skirt with white high socks like Lexi's black ones that came all the way up their pale thighs stopping just short of the hem of their skirts. A soft lavender button down shirt minus the safety pins was on her top along with a sweater tied around her shoulders of a soft white fabric. Her long red hair fell down to her hips as she and Lexi walked through the city of Babylos.

They had met the first time during a mission, and then had gotten closer by talking a few times when catching each other in the halls and now Phae and Lexi were close friends. For Phae it was nice for bashing people and the things around her that pissed her off. Lexi offering her a nice therapy session. And for Lexi it seemed that she enjoyed Phae's rants as well as getting Phae to listen to her own. The two girls were rarely serious because they just had too much fun together.

Today the girls had been out shopping together. Making scenes wherever they went the mismatched pair of them. Phae giggling and Lexi smirking offering her more sarcastic comments instead of being like Phae and her delightfully happy self. Most often on topic were their men. Richard Price and Xavier Macallister.

"So he finally popped the question?" Phae asked Lexi.

"Psh yeah, bout freaking time too. I mean Jesus Christ how long does a girl have to wait?" Lexi rolled her eyes. "Hey what about
that Cocky bastard you date?"

"Blacky? Definatly not. He's probably going to propose when he's thirty and getting gray hair." she giggled at that thought. "No no, he won't let himself go grey, he'll dye it!"

Lexi chuckled and Phae laughed as they continued down the street. Phae had bags from the local more.. preppy clothing stores and Lexi carried the dark black bags from her gothic wanna be stores.

"Hey so is Xav gonna give you puppies soon?" she nudged winking knowing exactly what she meant. Lexi smirked.

"Ha, as often as he wants it, I'm lucky I don't have a litter already." she chuckled.

"That often?!" Phae asked astonished her eyes big.

"Oh please, you know you and Blacky keep up half the dormitory wing nightly." she nudged back a bit harder and Phae blushed.

"Shut up!" Phae joked and Lexi laughed. There were now two people in this world that could make her laugh and Phae was the newest one. But Lexi felt like Phae was more of a long lost sister the way they got along.

Suddenly though, Phae spotted someone in a lavender scarf and lavender hair. Looking into an icecream shop. She tapped Lexi's shoulder and pulled her back so that they could watch from the other side of the street. Sure enough, Alastin Skylark went into the icecream shop alone to buy a tasty treat. Phae looked at Lexi and Lexi looked at Phae. They nodded at the same time both with bright smiles on their faces.

"Wonder what ol Al is doing?" Phae asked.

"I dunno but healer boy is awfully fun to play with." Lexi chuckled getting that michevious look to her.

"What do you mean?" Phae asked cocking a brow.

"Ohhhh.. I think little healy man isn't too keen on sex talk."

"Oh reaaaaally now?" Phae grinned. "I've got dirt."

"So do I." Lexi grinned.

They giggled as they entered the shop. Arm in arm they both went up to the counter and with Phae's money bought two bowls of a brownie fudge surprise and went to sit across from Alastin. Both Phae AND Lexi winked at him as they sat down.

"Hey Healy man. Gettin' any?" Lexi asked as she seductivly locked eyes with him and began licking the icecream from her plastic spoon.

[Alastin]

A bell was the sound that was always made when people went in and out of this store and Al was paying no attention he had his ice cream which he was savoring a a medical text on the table opened and his eyes pouring over it. Ritual healing...heady stuff and definantly required a bit more channeling then Alastin had ever messed around with. Well there was one time but, that was a rare instance and Ziare was there keepinghis mana fueled he couldn't rely on her all the time to refuel his mana. He had to learn to control the resources that he was born with more efficiently if he truly wanted to be a healer that helped others. Still the reaction that Phae and Lexandra had gotten was MOST appreciative of the mostly male crowd in this place that were suddenly drooling and dropping their jaws. And just as suddenly crushed when they sat across from the book worm!

Movement from across the table was the only thing that caught Alastin's attention the young healer looking up and his face suddenly went pink. It sure as hell wasn't from the windy cold as he found himself facing Lexandra and Phaedra two good friends but, damned if they didn't send him stammering as often as Ziare seemed to. Still his breathing was suddenly a tad unsteady as both of them gave devestating winks at him the poor boy not good at handling such things. And then Lex just had to pop one of those bloody questions of hers. She and Phae knew just how deep he had been getting with Ziare as of late it was probably a common fact throughout the Academy now the way he stayed curled against Ziare or her laying against him that they were a couple.

"Ph-ph-phae....Le-x-ex....wha-what are you two doin...." Al stammered out but, well yeah then Lex was getting seductive and dropped that bomb of a question and his mouth closed his jaw snapping shut.

Needless to say...

Misae was amused by all of this.

[Phae]

((another joint post, it just makes this easier on us))

Phae raised her brow as she sat down and crossed one high socked leg over the other. Lexi had Al under control for the moment Phae was going to get a bit more.. physical with their fun time. This was going to be sooooo much fun. She turned to Lexi and smirked.

"I didn't know your name had so many syllables. You've been keeping things from me." she said. Lexi smirked.

"Ahh well a girl has to have her secrets." she grinned.

"Oh dear, good thing Alastin isn't a girl." she chuckled.

Both turned their eyes back to Alastin. One hazel and one sparkling blue set of eyes boared right into him. The way he had slammed his mouth shut was classic. Phae chuckled as she lifted her foot from under the table and began to run it up and down his leg while Lexi had him locked in that gaze of hers with those slow seductive winks and that cleavage shot just baaaaarely there.

"So invested in silk sheets yet? Red is a beautiful color." she mentioned.

"Mmmm feels soooooo perfect on skin don't you think Lexi?" Phae asked locking her gaze on Alastin too.

"Oh most definatly. Good for a night of.. passion." she whispered the last word with a wink.

"Mmm unbridled passion." Phae interceded her foot still running up and down his leg smoothely as both women grinned at him.

[Alastin]

The exchange of comments between the two was fairly evil and Alastin was starting to wonder if silence was going to be a safe path for him or if it was just going to get him in more trouble. He shifted for a moment his eyes meeting them and his breathing well what breathing? Yeah Al had officially forgotten to breath the poor guy as he kept his mouth shut as the two exchanged a glance and a giggle. More penis envy was going around the single guys in the place as Alastin was trying his best to keep from stuttering now. Then well yeah...he felt Phae's foot began to rub up and down his leg and he suddenly gave a jump from the intimate touch. His spoon hitting the table the table jolting as he bang his knee into it and well the healer looking MORE THEN A BIT OFF-BALANCED!

Girls 1.

Alastin 0.

The slow seductive winks weren't helping either and Al got a glimpse of some...well...yeah...He....

He jerked his gaze away looking outside the window yes the window was safe his cheeks red as hell. No no no no no he shouldn't be thinking any of that he was with ZIARE!

He heard the questions of red silk...

HAH HE TURNED REDDER THEN RED SILK!

A crab would be envious at his red.

"N-n-no...I...I haven't even mov-v-ved in with h-h-her yet...." Al mumbled barely loud enough for them to year as he shivered just a bit from that damnidable foot going up and down his leg.

[Xavier]

Xavier hummed softly as he made his way through the bustling city of Babylos. He loved being out doors and one would think that, as a druid, he would enjoy being on the outskirts of the city in the forests. However if he were to be honest he'd have to say he enjoyed the city quite a bit, if not as much as he enjoyed the quiet, serene frests on the outskirts of the floating sland that housed the Academy and the city of Babylos. He had just been to the jeweler to check upo on the engagement rings. Xavier had finally gotten around to asking Lex to marry him. It had taken him awhile but he head finally done it and of course she loved it, remarking in her own patented sarcastic way that it had taken him long enough. But Xav had known her long enough that he knew she really had been waiting for that moment for quite a while and that she was happy that he had finally asked.

He had decided to check on how the rings were progressing that day. They had left them at the jeweler's to be engraved so that they each could have a personal message on the other's ring. He knew she had gone out and so he figured it would be the best opportunity he could have to just go check on the ring and get a few more things. To suprise Lex he had gone ahead and gotten two piercings in his right eyebrown and four in his right ear. They weren't exactly permanent yet because the piercing parlor guy had given him a spell word to remove them if she didn't like them. But Xavier had a good feeling that she was going to love it.

As he walked through the crowded, bustling city, a pair of faces in the crowd caught his eye. He grinned as he recognized the two faces as belonging to his future wife Lex and Phae. Xavier grinned a little more when he saw the shopping bags, he could only imagine what sexy little outfits Lex had picked out to tease him with. Xavier watched as they stopped outside an ice cream parlor and started giggling as one of them pointed to a certain purple-haired healer. He couldn't help but shake his head wiht a soft chuckle as he noticed the oh so mischevious grin on Lex's face before they headed inside. Poor Al was going to be in for some serious teasing at the hands of those two.

Xavier made his way into the ice cream parlor not long after the two of them. Mostly he was interested in seeing what the two girls were going to do to poor little innocent Alastin. He sat down on a stool across from their table. The light glinted gently off of the leash ring of his collar as he ordered a sunade, with all the toppings. He grabbed a spoon and started to eat his sundae as he watched the merciless teasing commence in front of him.

"You girls..." he said, shaking his head and tsking playfully as he took his stool and moved it over to the end of their table. He sat down as he looked from Phae and Lexi to Alastin and chuckled, eating another spoonful of his ice cream.

[Phae]

((joint))

"OOooooo they haven't moved in YET." Lexi said to Phae with a wink having caught the near whisper.

Phae of course giggled merclessly when Alastin jumped at the fact that her foot was running up and down his leg. It was so fun to tease him she could see easily why Ziare endeared herself to the rather innocent little guy. He was so timid you wanted to bake him a set of cookies and wipe his tears away. Like the kind of kid that needed his scooby do bandaid and a kiss from mommy before he was okay to go back outside and play again. Phae chuckled and leaned over whispering something in Lexi's ear who just grinned.

"So there's a running bet around campus. Someone caught you and Ziare in the library all pushed up against the shelving units. We want to know if there is any truth." Lexi said with a grin.

Neither she nor Phae had noticed Xavier coming in and they chuckled softly as they looked at each other. It was odd how good of friends they had become together but it had just happened.

"Yeah and when is the big day? I mean come on; you do her right? So why not make it official?" Lexi pushed enjoying watching him blush. Phae resumed her leg and foot time fun

It was then Xavier pulled a stool over and Lexi looked up. She smiled at him and stood up smoothing down her skirt she pulled herself up in his lap. She loved sitting in his lap it was comfortable and more so than that it meant he belonged to her and no one else. Not ANY of the single girls in the joint checking out her man. This was HER MAN hence the colar. She noticed the piercings with a grin. She was rubbing off on him and it was nice to know she could taint the good hearted. She touched the piercings gently and smirked. She liked them. She dipped her finger in the fudge on his sundae and ran it across his lips seductively with a smirk.

"How nice to see you today lover." she whispered with one of those soft slow winks that could have had Alastin blow in his pants but on Xavier it tended to just serve to arouse.

"Awww so not fair!" Phae whinned. "I don't have a lap to sit in OR a boy to torture with fun sexual icecream time." she pounted. Lexi chuckled. Phae grinned.

"Ohhhh Alllaassssttiinnnn, can I come sit in your lap?" Phae pouted and batted her beautiful red eyelashes at him. Her full red lips pursing out just slightly.
