Alastin hummed softly as he checked his calendar making sure that today was the day. Today they were going to go to Rosewood to visit Ziare’s family so they wouldn’t have to send someone up here to check on her. Alastin gave a small smile at that promise that they had made a couple weeks ago in the city as he made sure that everything was packed for this trip. Rosewood was said to be a beautiful place and he was still packing warm clothes since it was the fall. After all Alastin though being of the ice element could still catch chill so it was a better safe then sorry sort of thing in his mind. He gave a soft smile as he hummed and made sure that the duffle bag with his stuff was packed. He was taking a large duffle bag, his satchel, and another messenger bag of his things for this trip wanting to stay light on the stuff. After all it wasn’t like they were going to be there for a week or so it was only a few days if he recalled correctly.
~You’re in a good mood.~
I am!
~Looking forward to this trip?
You know it!
Alastin smiled happily as he hummed and but, his duffle bag over his shoulder finally having everything. Finally he was ready for this as he hummed and headed to the front entrance of the Academy with Ziare. He sighed softly for a moment and gave a blush. He hadn’t quite forgotten what had happened after the party they had gone to together as he tapped the floor gently. That had to have been the craziest stuff that he had even done. He shook his head for a moment as he looked up at the sky it was a beautiful morning if cold that was for sure. He zipped up his windbreaker jacket as he waited. Alastin was wearing dark blue slacks, a long-sleeve blue shirt with hood and silver trim, dark-blue windbreaker jacket with white trim, and black tennis shoes. He hummed softly as he shifted from foot to foot while he waited. He had never been to England before so he was really looking forward to this trip.
I just hope I fit in.
Not to mention Alastin got to meet the people that Ziare called her family but, that was always known to him as he hummed a little tune.

You're taking the boy?
Yes, I am.
And Jyo?
Well I haven't talked to him recently. I've been so busy.
You've been making yourself busy.
Drop it Armenius I don't want to fight today okay?
Fine but the longer you wait..
I know..
It was morning and the train left in two hours. She loved taking the train through London to her home. They would spend one night in the train itself and then they would arrive in early morning. It would be beautiful this time of year and she couldn't wait to show Alastin everything.
She shoved the last thing in her large bag and was done. She smiled softly as she looked around her tower room for a moment before she sighed. Well packing was done. She pulled a sweater over her thin frame and tugged it down around her body. She was dressed in a blue jean skirt something Alastin had never seen her in that fell to her thighs. Tights that were black covered her legs against the chill but still let the skirt do it's job. Over her frame was a long sleeve lavender shirt which was currently covered up by a very form fitting periwinkle blue sweater that hwas a turtle neck.
She wore cute little white tennis shoes. Two white gold bracelets on her right arm. One from Jyo one from her father. Silver hoops in her ears and her hair had even been curled a little bit to make it look nicer. She picked up her bag and began to make her way down the long and seriously winding stairs that kept her up in the tower.
Alastin waited looking rather cute she thought for her at the entrance. She walked down the stairs and stood in front of him with a warm smile on her face.
"Ready?" she asked softly.

Alastin hummed softly as he shifted from foot to foot while he waited for Ziare. Yet he was in just such a good mood right then having been looking forward to this trip ever since she said that she would take him. He gave a soft little hum as he turned on his MP3 player and let himself relax against the doorframe. Music began playing and he closed his eyes nodding his head downwards his hair fall in front of his face. Bad Luck, Nittle Grasper, Yngwie Malmsteen, and a few other bands that just relaxed him were on his play list as he relaxed. Just relaxed and let the time go by. They had really been through a lot already and yet here they were doing something new that was important to Alastin. He wanted to meet Ziare’s family and put on a good impression. The party still reminded him of the words that he had said to Ziare and he let that steel his resolve where he would normally be nervous and fidgeting a little. Hands in his pockets as he let things go by.
”Before the drowsy noise blurs away tomorrow, Chase after those ambitiously resounding footsteps. That unfulfilled emotion that never settles down somewhere—“
The sound of resounding footsteps and people going silent as Ziare came on the scene looking as beautiful as ever. Alastin looked up at the sounds of those footsteps that seemed to perfectly go with the song that he was listening to. His hair moving away from his eyes as he turned to face Ziare with open eyes to gaze upon her beauty. She was wearing a skirt this time and he noticed that giving a smile as he saw the tights underneath them for a moment. Ever since that night Alastin had been a little bolder in things with Ziare as he tucked his hair behind his ears for a moment. There she was standing in front of him to the gawk of the others that were in this hallway as well as Alastin couldn’t help but, give a bright smile and gave her a quick hug. A nosebleed effect for the guys looking on wishing they were in Alastin’s place as he smiled up at her warmly for a moment before letting go.
”Just decide to ignore it, than overtake it.”
“Yup, I have everything packed up and I’m ready to go, this will be my first train ride so I’m kind of excited,” Alastin said with a bright grin as he walked with Ziare to the teleporter but, paused and looked up into her eyes. They were so beautiful those ice-blue eyes that he could always lose himself in those depths. Yet for him they were at times protective when he was in danger. The difference in their abilities quite obvious.
”Aim for the loophole in this shy, trembling society.”
He leaned forward gently and kissed her on the lips gently as he ran his fingers gently through her hair. She was always so beautiful and so wonderful to be around.
”For the place we keep struggling towards. I want a new world.”
He opened his eyes and gave a smile at her gently. “You truly are beautiful,” he said with a soft smile to her as he took her hand and ran to the teleporter with her. At the teleport base he hummed and walked with Ziare to the London teleporter which was in a cover-front building. Truthfully Alastin didn’t know where to go after that as he looked up at Ziare with that look that said it was up to her now. He did entwine his fingers with her as they entered the streets of London and Alastin could only gawk in awe. THIS PLACE WAS SO FREAKING COOL! He looked around smiling happily man this place was just wayyyyyy too cool.

Ziare saw Alastin waiting on her. She smiled. He was a very sweet boy and she found that after her molestation that he was the one that she was able to get close to. She had tried for Jyo but it was near impossible she just felt so pressured and she didnt' know why. With Alastin she felt little to no pressure and many times that was what she needed. Under her healer's guidance and support she was damn near back to who she had been and she even smiled and rarely cringed these days.
Alastin hugged her and she hugged him back nuzzling into his neck one of her favorite places to be. She smiled at him because he was the best guy in the world so very often. They had taken things past best friends not too long ago and they were sort of still in that awkward should we shouldn't we stage. She kissed his cheek oblivious to the gaping men around them. She looked up as he led her to the teleporter saying he was all packed and ready to go. She chuckled. He seemed so excited she only hoped that Thomas behaved himself this time. She didn't know if he would or not but regardless Alastin was about to find out.
He leaned in and kissed her she blushed softly a bit more shy than she used to be about such things. She kissed him back and felt his hands working through her hair. Pulling back she kissed his cheek again. He told her she was beautiful and they stepped through the portal him basically running and her giggling and following behind.
England, London.
It was the place where she had been many times and they were only a block away from the station. She hoisted her bag a bit more over her shoulder and took Alastin's hand. Leading him out of the alley she led him across the street where the huge station sat. London Station went damn near everywhere if there were tracks and a station including the small town of Rosewood.
"Okay we're spending the night on the train. I got us a nice room and we'll be sharing a bed. But as we've done that before I didn't see a problem with it." she informed him.
She led him through the station ignoring the people and the other trains that they were passing. There was only one number she needed and that was Platform 9 Train 34. Finally she found it and the great steaming engine sat expelling its steam as it waited for the passengers. She took his hand and led him onto the train and down to the conductor who stamped their tickets and pointed in the direction of the room.
"That way please." he said.
"Thank you very much." Ziare said.
"Any time, miss."
Soon she found their room number 42 and she slid open the door to the compartment. Inside it was a soft yellow color and white trim. She closed the door behind him and looked around. White bed covers on the queen sized bed. A white armiore, white lace curtains, a glass table and two chairs below the window to eat on. A small door led to the tiny bathroom. It wasn't much but it would be comfy and it would be enough for the rest of today through the night and part of the morning tomorrow.
"Here we are." she said placing her stuff in the armiore and plopping down on the large soft bouncy bed.

He found his hand in her soft one humming to himself as Ziare led her out the alleyway and into the bustling madness of London. She used to it and Alastin not wanting to turn his head everywhere trying to take in everything at once as she led him across the street. He had been to a train station before when his parents took him with them to pick up his grandfather but, this was HUGE. There were so many trains and platforms that he wanted to just stand there gawking and looking like an idiot so to speak. So many places connected to the London Station that he was slightly boggled in the mind so to speak as he continued walking with Ziare keeping his hand firmly in hers.
“No I don’t mind at all,” he said with a soft smile at her as he continued walking with her. She seemed to know exactly where they needed to go so he could assume that she has made this trip before several times. He was glad that she knew where they were going because he was already lost and mind-boggled from the sheer sign of this train. Ah yes there was Platform 9 now as they were walking towards the train that they needed to board. And yes there was Train 34 right on schedule. Wait. Platform 9 and Train 34? Was this someone’s idea of a really bad book joke? I mean come on Alastin was a book worm HE GOT THE JOKE! Very funny whoever’s humor was at work upstairs.
He blinked when he heard her speaking with a conductor indicating their room where they were boarded and stamping their tickets. Good thing Ziare had them he would have already forgotten where he put his had she had him hold it. They boarded the train and began walking down the narrow hallways Alastin mumbling a prayer of thanks to the heavens that he wasn’t claustrophobic because this sure as hell would make you. They soon reached the room where they were staying again Alastin seeing a book reference joke. The room forty-two made him snort slightly wondering again if someone upstairs was letting their sense of humor run wild. It made you have that little feeling that someone was controlling your life from far away and watching the results. Now isn’t that some crazy stuff? Alastin gave a huge smile at the room looking around and soaking up the soft beauty of the room. Like Ziare he put his bags in the armoire and then flopped down onto the bed right beside her kicking off his shoes easily.
“It’s a great room if you ask me I’ll defiantly be comfortable since I’m with you Zi,” Alastin said with a smile having just made up her nickname on the spot right there as he ran his fingers through her hair gently. It was something that he never got tired of, running his fingers through her hair. If you said that Alastin could do this for eternity without a care in the world he would probably be content. Ziare had soft and lush hair that was rich in tone and color. You could lose your fingers in the soft and silky strands that she had without even repeating yourself. He shifted himself lightly and kissed her neck softly before moving up and kissing her cheek. For the last kiss he placed it on her lips gently he sitting up and leaning his torso over her lap. One hand on the other side of her lap the other hand running through her hair. His eyes gazing into her beautiful ice blue ones that he never got tired of gazing into. The perfect eyes for a dictator yet at the same time the most beautiful eyes to fall in love with.
“I’ll never get tired of looking into your eyes, you could give me an eternity with you and I don’t think it would be enough,” he said softly to her. Alastin had become a bit braver and confident when he was alone with Ziare after that night. He truly wanted to be the one that dated her and did things with her. To be just more then her healer and her angel. He shifted for a moment and gave a smile as he ran his fingers through his own hair for a few moments.
"So tell me about your family I mean I partially know about Thomas from what you told me back in the city but, I really want to know what to expect so I don't mess up," he shifted a bit nervously.

In the room Alastin put his bag down as well. He came over to the bed and climbed up on it and looked down at her she could only smile as she looked up at her lavender headed best friend. Though it was more than that now but they hadn't discussed what it was exactly just yet. Perhaps they would talk about it when she took him to some of the secret places in her life when they got to Rosewood. She wanted to show him everything and everything all at once it was going to be hard to get it all in there during one visit but she was sure as heck going to try.
He leaned down and kissed her neck and she sighed softly. It felt good to have him close to her. Friend or more it mattered little all that was really important was that he was in her life. She closed her eyes gently and he began to kiss her cheek and finally placed a small kiss on her lips. He looked down at her and looked into her eyes as he stroked her hair she loved the feeling of his hand in her hair. It was one of those things that made her feel good and relaxed. He was the one that after the brutal rape on prom night had not only healed her but he had even helped her become a part of what she had been before. He had made her come back to trust men and not mind to be touched.
"Oh you spoil me." she chuckled softly as she opened her eyes to look up at him after he told her eternity was not enough. She wondered then how he felt about her. Only because sometimes he said the sweetest things and they made her think that he had fallen in love with her.
They had done so much together that it was hard not to think she loved him too. She wasn't ready to admit it at this moment of course because well.. she didn't want him to be scared away or to think her too fast. What she really wanted more than anything was just to live her life and be with him. For now that was enough but it was alreayd running out. She was already wanting more out of what they had and perhaps this vacation was where it would come from. She reached up and tucked his beautiful hair behind his ears gently as he asked her about her family and she nodded.
"Well I have five brothers and only one is what I would call wee, well he was when I left. And two sisters again only one younger." she said. "I'll tell you thier names and stuff so you won't be surprised. In order of birth there is; Thomas, Laurence, John, Caster, Nita, me, Mylie, and Quint. Mylie and Quint are the ones that are sweet but shy and just for the record you'll hear most of them call me Zi or Zianna. Because my full name is Ziare Annabelle Langely. So just so you know." she chuckled.
"As for Thomas himself well he looks after me more than anyone else. As my eldest brother he was often put in charge of looking after me. I'm adopted which I'll have to tell you that story while we're there because we'll be going to visit my real mother's grave. Anyway, he tested Jyo when I brought him here. Because of my mother and who she was, and because of who I am he is worried about my protection. He wants to make sure the man I marry or am with will and can protect me at all costs. So if he tests you in some way I'm sorry. It tends to include being cruel to me. So just do your best to act how you would if someone other than Thomas was doing it. Don't hold back but think with a clear head and he'll be fine. If he tests you and you pass you pass for life so you won't have to worry about it. My whole family is great, I wish you could have met my father I'm told that I am most like him in demeanor. The rest of my family will greet you with open arms and we will probably share my attic bedroom. So don't worry you'll be fine."
"I have so many places I want to show you, Al. So many. A grove that my family has so many memories with and one that is just my own. It's quite a hike to the private one so we'll probably spend the night out there at that time. But it's beautiful with the stars above us and the grass below us. There is the farm, and Grampa's house. He isn't my real grandfather nor is he related but he is old and wise and he is just like a grandfather to me." she said softly. "Oh I just.. can't wait. Is there anything you would like to see or know about while we are there. if so I'll try to work it in I don't want to forget anything but there is so much I want to share."
Her eyes had sparkled through all this with happiness and thinking back to her years growing up in rosewood. A cute little blonde headed girl with no shoes and dirty clothes because she was always getting into everything. Curious about everything and an avid reader it was amazing just how much she had done as a child. She couldn't wait to share it with Alastin.

A small content sigh escaped her wonderful lips as Alastin saw the look of contentment that dominated her expression at this very moment. She was so content at the moment and he sure as heck wasn’t going to do anything to spoil the moment. In fact there were some thoughts of perhaps going further in things but, he would have to take that carefully. He already knew that he felt something for Ziare that far exceeded the bonds of best friend relations. He’d have to find a way to admit to Ziare what he was really thinking but, he was still unsure of her condition. Would it be too soon since her rape to say such a thing to her? Was the Jyo issue finally settled so that he would finally have a chance to be with her? He chewed his lip for a moment at the thought of that but, shook it away from his head furiously for a moment. Now was not the time to be thinking about it they had a full vacation ahead of them. Well visit but, to Alastin you might as well call it vacation since before he left for Arcane Academy he had never been outside his home town.
She said he spoiled her. He gave a small smile over that. He didn’t really spoil her he was just being himself, and he was glad that she liked it. He just enjoyed letting her know that he always wanted to make her feel good be it the little things to help her relax or the soft words that lovers exchange. He was just who he was always liking to help people even if it meant he had to overcome his shyness. Yet with Ziare he wasn’t as shy as he normally was taking a small edge of bravery. Key word of course being small. Alastin wasn’t the bravest person in the world he just stood up for what he believed was right and tried not to have too big of an image around other people. Laying low was the name of the game in Al’s opinion since he knew attention my make him a little too much of an ego-filled person. He listened closely when Ziare described her siblings and family humming softly as she spoke each word. She described Thomas in-depth Alastin guessing that she was really close to him as far as sibling love could go so he took her advice in wanting to be careful and just be himself around Thomas.
“I guess I have a lot of things to learn then so that way I can past Thomas’ test no doubt Misae and Laelaps will come out or at least Laelaps will to help me,” Alastin said with a wary smile. It was just the thing Misae could tap into his magic whenever she wanted to and that sometimes was a real problem with some things. Because dragons certainly viewed threats and tests in a different manner then people die and he would have to be careful or Misae would do something totally crazy and impulsive. He gave a mental sigh about that as Misae only gave him that mental little chuckle that said she was up to something. Great now what was Misae up to? He shook his head for a few moments trying to figure out without delving too deeply but, Misae’s mental barriers were up on that one. Which unless Alastin wanted to just outright prod his way into the mind then he wasn’t going to figure out anytime soon without Misae knowing. He shifted forward and laid beside Ziare his fingers lightly running through her hair as he listened to her talk. So many things she wanted to share and do with him.
Truthfully he was looking forward to it all.
“I’m sure you’ve got the best qualities of both of your parents you’re a terrific person Ziare and I just enjoy the time we have together,” Alastin said with a bright smile at her as he leaned forward a bit kissing her neck softly for a moment. He smiled again when she told him that they he would be welcomed and they would get to share her room. That was a good thing really because Al was pretty sure he was getting way too used to snuggling against Ziare at night.
“It’s a good thing then that they’ll welcome me I’m afraid I’m too used to snuggling against you,” Alastin said with a grin as he shifted for a moment. “Everything sounds like so much fun I’m just seriously glad we decided to take the time off from classes and make this trip. Sure we had a good reason to do that but, hell I think having an excuse is the best reason to do these things,” Al said with another of those bright full face smiles. He shook out his hair again for a moment before nuzzling his head into Ziare’s neck lightly. “So, do we get to cook for ourselves sometimes?” he asked with a grin.

The train began to disembark from the station. It was time to get the trip underway and Ziare was excited. She had sent a letter to them rather quickly by magic means and they should definatly know of their arrival at any time now. She was sure that they probably had Mylie and Quint running down to the station every time the train stopped there just to see if they had come yet or not. The news of Ziare bringing a new friend home pleased them because though Jyo had been well recieved they wanted to meet more of her friends.
The train gathered speed as she and Alastin lay on the rather comfy but somewhat lumpy bed in their small compartment. She was kinda glad it was an over night ride because it meant that they could spend time together alone on this vacation. Alastin was the sweet one. The one that every girl would dream of dating because he always knew the right things to say at the right moments. Perhaps it came from him being a healer all his life being trained with and without magic or perhaps it was just his gentle nature. But regardless of what it was, she was happy to have him accompanying her on this trip.
He told her that she probably had the best of both parents within her and she smiled. That was a very nice thing to say though she knew that she was as much like her father as she was different from her mother. She was her father's daughter through and through. She had his laugh and his smile or so she had been told even if he wasn't her real father she had adopted many of his mannerisms by being around him so much. He had been the one she followed around all the time like a shadow and people though she was so cute her eyes filled with wonder as she watched her father work or do his business about town.
"I'm glad you enjoy my company so much Alastin. Because if not for one I would be very lonely and for two I would be bugging the hell out of you as often as I come to visit." she chuckled softly.
He kissed her neck talking about how addicted he was to cuddling with her at night already and she chuckled again. She too was guilty of the same. She found that at night when they were in their own dorms often times one would come to the others for some lame excuse and then they would find themselves asleep together in the morning. They had that morning cuddly thing going on over breakfast and even had each others routines down. He knew she got the first shower and while she dried her hair and got dressed it was his turn. They had it set it was like they were married or something but they weren't even dating.
Cooking breakfast together was another thing they did. If he stayed at her place she cooked and if she stayed at his he cooked. Unless they were playing surprises which they had done before. It was fun to wake up next to Alastin and the first thing you saw to greet the day was his warm and friendly smile. She turned her head back in his direction at his question on cooking.
"Really, my mom will cook basically everything. That is what she feels is one of her jobs. But she retires to bed early because she gets up with the cows to milk them with my brothers. Oh and one rule. Girls serve the boys food. It's just the way it is in my house so since you are MY guest I'll be serving you. Meaning food wise not like 'hey Zi go get me a towel' but at dinner I'll be serving you your food. Anyway, when we go camping in my secret spot, we'll grill some fish over a campfire. I'm gonna show you how to camp Al." she chuckled softly.
"Hey! You ever been fishing or camping before?" she asked rather excitedly as she began to run her fingers through his lavender hair over and over again stroking it with her pale but dexterous fingers.

"Nah, I'm sure I would have came around eventually with your cute and adorable looks, your award-winning personality, and that heart-stopping smile you seem to wield," Alastin teased softly as he shifted and looked into those beautiful ice blue eyes once more not able to tear his gaze away. Like he wanted to not where Zi was concerned. "You're always on my mind even when I'm alone I long to feel your gentle touch, your calming personality, and even your joyous laughter," he continued with a warm smile as he looked down at her slightly above her at the moment. One hand tangling into that long hair that he had already grown addicted to. He couldn't help it really it was something that he couldn't stop himself from doing.
They were close like a couple was both knowing the other's needs and quirks to the point that it was a science. Oftentimes he would think of some lame excuse of checking up on her progress, wanting to make sure she slept well, or anything else he could hash out that would sound legitimate to anyone else. All for the purpose of coming to her room or having her stay at his he knew she was guilty of it as well. It was that innocent kind of guilty neither having really said anything one how they really felt about each other. It was awkward at times since this was so new and unexplainable but, both wanted to be togeather. Perhaps that was the catalyst for them building a strong relationship that they could live off of.
Both of them enjoyed cooking that much was obvious from the way either could cook up a storm of food or munchies for them to eat or snack on depending on their moods. They often switched off who did the cooking based on which place they were sleeping at. He blinked when she said she would be serving him at meals while they were there at the house. He tilted his head at that now that was a very odd rule if you asked Alastin raised in a house where guys just as often served the girls. Still he was going to be the guest there so it was a practice he would just have to accept. He was alittle dissapointed that he wouldn't be able to cook at the house there but, blinked at her next question.
Camping? Fishing? When both parents were indoorsy and he was a book worm himself?
He blinked but, gave one of those content sighs when he felt her fingers working into his hair. If he was a cat he'd be purring right about now with her fingers in his hair like that finally laying down his chest against hers and his head hovering over hers as he gave a small smile. That excited tone she had clearly said it was worth learning though.
"I can honestly say I have done neither before," Alastin said and he gave a small tragic sigh as he gave her a mischevious look. "I will require a maiden's grace and help to guide me through such a difficult thing oh wherever will I find such a maiden who is willing to teach me?" Alastin said playfully as he leaned forward and kissed her romantically in that brief little romantic kiss that couples often gave each other. "Maybe this beautiful girl is willing to teach me..." he murmured as he ran his free hand along her side for a moment.
"Maybe if I ask her nicely..." he murmured again as he kissed her on the lips again this kiss lasting a bit longer and his golden eyes were locked with her blue ones.
"Would you be willing to take this poor little healer and teach him how to fish and camp?"

So he had never been fishing. She smiled softly. All the things she could teach him and he wanted to learn how to fish and to camp. She chuckled at the thought. He was so cute and innocent she wondered at times why he was with her at all. She had been tainted by that man.. the one that didn't have any reason in her life except to try to ruin it. And he had changed it greatly. Thalo. A name that would never leave her mind one that would haunt her nightmares as long as she lived. the man that had definatly changed Ziare and she was still not sure ifr it was for the better yet or not. But it had enabled her to get close to Alastin and while she and Jyo were having a lot of problems she and Alastin seemed to be growing closer and closer.
Fishing and camping was something that Ziare had always enjoyed. Finding that you could support yourself without having to worry or lean upon modern technology. She was always one that loved working with her hands and fishing and camping was the best in her mind. Setting up your own tent and fishing in the little stream. Starting your own fire to cook your fish wrapped up in the maple leaves with fresh seasoning fresh picked from the campsite. To place your fish on a stick or burry them underneath the fire for a while to cook them. To go swimming in the stream in that small spot where it widened just enough. Where you could see the stars up in the clear country sky. Seeing them shimmer and sparkle a magic all of their own.
"Of course I would teach you. You are sweet and how in the world could I deny you so much fun. You have no idea how much fun it is to go camping and fishing. We could go hunting but I'm not as good at that. Usually girls arent allowed on hunts but my brother Thomas took me and I had a lot of fun. But daddy wouldn't let me go again. He was always really protective of me." she chuckled.
She sighed softly as she tuned on her side supporting herself on her elbow and looked down at him with a smile. She stroked the side of his face gently with the back of her fingers. She was falling she was sure of it. It was getting to where they rarely spent a day apart from each other and she loved it. She loved the fact that he was always there for her no matter what. It was true sometimes she wish he would take control for a moment. Just hold her and kiss her or tell her they were doing somthing instead of being so timid all the time. She wanted to see him grow as a person and a man. But she knew too that they weren't dating quite yet. She got up and stretched.
"Well I"m changing into jammies because I want to be comfy on this ride I don't know about you." she chuckled and grabbed a few things from her bag and went into the bathroom. She came out some fifteen minutes later with her hair pulled up in a pony tail, a lavender tank top on and some cute teal and purple plaid flannel pants on. She smiled. "Well.. is this okay?" she asked softly.

Alastin look up at her with a bright smile when she said that she would teach him and he liked that he really did. Ziare was the one person that he always found himself with all the time and a part of him wanted to take it a step further. To just emerge just once and be aggressive to see where it went. To see if his feelings would be returned or if he was just dreaming. He looked up at her as he remembered the words they had said back at the Halloween party at Phae's room. How they wanted to become steady when the question was put to them. No she did feel for him he knew that much they just needed a catalyst to really spark it. And by God it wasn't going to be alcohol this time even if it did lead them doing something that well uhh...that is...it was...nice yeah nice....very nice...
"It all sounds like so much fun though I'm not much good at hunting either. My dad taught me how to shoot beginning a trick shooter himself but, he always lectured on how it was to be used for self-defense only," he said with a grin as he assumed one of those parental poses for a moment with the shaking finger and the squinting eyes as if they were looking from behind glasses. Oh yeah trust Alastin to poke a little fun now and then at something to lighten the mood. It was just how he was he never did like those tense moments himself always prefering the light-hearted moments where everyone was happy and laughing. And who better to share those moments then the person who he loved nuzzling into every night that they had the chance to. Every night that they made some dumb excuse.
"Right changing," he said with a blink when he realized the moment of cuddling was broken and he wanted to tear his hair out over that. He was damn comfortable when she did was touching and petting him like that. Who wouldn't be? I mean honestly Ziare was just one of those girls that could take you from any excited mood and make you relaxed and refreshed. There was just something about her that you could always trust. Sure she had some troubles with things now and then but, she was the most loyal friend that you would ever find. Alastin watched her dissapear in the bathroom and he got up changing himself. Wearing navy blue sweatpants and a matching navy-blue shirt he shifted and shook out his lavender hair letting it fall for a moment. He remembered how Ziare protected him.
She protected him afraid of him getting hurt.
~She wants you to take control.~
Excuse me?!
~Ziare wants you to take an active stance and take control of the situation.~
And how would you know this?
~It's a woman thing.~
Alastin blinked for a moment and was about to growl something but, the door opened and he saw Ziare wearing a cute outfit and he smiled but, he noticed that her hair was up in a ponytail! No way she couldn't do that no that wasn't going to slide. Alastin didn't say anything yet just walked over to her and gently undid her ponytail to let her hair down again. He tilted her head up and pressed his lips against hers in a serious kiss. I mean this wasn't just any kiss Alastin was taking control during this kiss as his lips were against hers demandingly. His arms were around her sweetly and tenderly his fingers caressing up and down her back. He broke the kiss after a full minute and looked into her ice blue ones with his shimmering golden ones. Why he had did that he wasn't sure maybe it was Misae's little taunt.
"I prefer your hair down Ziare," Alastin whispered to her his fingers going through her hair again. He licked his lips but, then he spoke in a serious tone.
"And if you'll allow me the chance...I want to be more to you then just your best friend. I want to date you, go out with you, enjoy more times with you without having to come up with some corny excuse. To enjoy your company openly and with smiles and laughter being exchanged..." Al continued as he held her eyes never breaking the gaze.
"I want to be able to express the feelings that reside in my heart everytime I see you," Alastin continued his lips a mere inch from hers.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is..."
He paused.
"I want to be the one you love. And give you the love that's been building for you these past few weeks." Alastin said softly.
Another pause.
"Will you let me have that chance to be at your side?"

Ziare watched with a shy smile as Alastin walked to her. He had changed while she was gone and he looked more comfy in his sweatpants and shirt. They even seemed to play off his hair giving it a warm lavender hue at the moment. She looked up at him when he reached behind her and took her hair down. She felt her platinum lockes fall down around her body and shoulders and she blushed softly.
But before she knew it she was pulled into a deep and passionate kiss. Her arms instantly going around Alastiins neck as he held her tightly to him. Taking control and she nearly moaned. You would think after being raped you wouldn't want the man you were.. no had fallen for to take control but he knew her boundaries and he seemed to somehow have figured out what she needed in her life was not just some timid sweet cuddly man but a strong man that new how to get what he wanted and knew that sometimes it was good to take control or else nothing happened.
This was what she had been waiting for Alastin to do. Just kiss her. Not under some alcohol thing after a party but truly just take charge and kiss her. He had to know that she could break it if she wanted. She was a realtively strong girl but her magic even more so. Hell she could probably summon Misae for herself to kick his ass, that was how powerful a summoner Ziare actually was.
The kiss broke and she looked up into those fantastic golden eyes and smiled. That had been the best kiss EVER. She wasn't going to tell him that but deep down inside she knew it was true. He told her that he wanted her hair down and she blushed. She looked up at him into his eyes.
"Down it is then." she said softly.
He told her that he was tired of being her best friend and she smiled softly that knowing and happy smile. She was happy he was finally taking a stand she thought about playing with him for a moment. Seeing how far he would take it. But he was taking the first steps and it might not be the best idea to play with him already. He finished and she smiled in that cute, 'I'm playing with you' sort of way. She stepped out from his grasp and smiled.
"Ill think about it." she toyed wondering what his next move was. She wanted to be sure while Alastin was still her cuddly and cute buddy that he knew when to take charge when to be strong and persistant this was a test and if he passed.. then things would happen.

Alastin if anything was a perceptive young man even though he was new to the whole dating scene being a healer made him clever. Not clever as in oh my god I know everything but, clever as in he knew when someone was pulling his chain. Ziare was pulling on that chain percisely at this moment testing him. She was testing him? He blinked for a moment at the 'I'll think about it' comment that she had so casually dispensed on him and tapped his foot for a few seconds. Well screw it all to hell Alastin had patience in some things but, when he went around his usual personality and took an aggressive stance he wanted to know the bloody results! Alastin took a step forward and took her hand pulling her back against him as he walked backwards to the bed and fell back on it pulling her with him.
"What if I said that I wanted an answer right now? That I wanted to know what you really thought about me? That I wasn't in the mood to have my chain jerked around," Alastin said softly but, his tone was firm as he took that aggressive stance still and decided to play the aggressive card a step forward. Damn it to hell he wanted to have an answer and by God he was going to take control this very instance. In a completely un-Al move no doubt about it but, there were some moments when a man just had to be persistant. You don't just spend nearly every day with a girl and expect that 'I'll think about it' comment oh no you wanted to know what she was really thinking. You wanted to know where you really stood with that girl. Alastin didn't want to make excuses anymore. He wanted to know where he really stood with Ziare.
Well damn it to hell I just went and did something that just doesn't seem like me and she decides to toy? I don't think it'll slide right now...
"I want to know where I really stand in this instance with you," Alastin said softly as he pressed a heated kiss to her neck and bit into it leaving a small mark as his fingers trailed through her hair. He looked up at her and pressed another heated kiss to her lips. Another demanding and posessive kiss like the first one his arms around her tightly. He wasn't going to let go and she sure as heck wasn't going to let her squirm out without an answer if she was going to toy with him like that. Toying with a guy who just took a stand? No sir that just didn't fly if you expected to get away scott-free. No no no she would have to live with the aggressive response that was for sure. The kiss he held agianst her lips had that tender element still that belonged to Alastin alone as he made this one even longer. When he broke the kiss his eyes were meeting hers as he waited for an answer.

Her hand was taken and she was pulled back into the warm arms of Alastin. She blushed and leaned against him wanting him to pull her back. But it seemed he wasn't done and she felt herself being pulled back to the bed as he walked with her and fell back with her onto the bed. She smiled up at him but her smile soon fell away as he began to speak to her that look in his eyes told her that he was serious and didn't like what she had just done. She instantly felt bad but she had to know.
He asked her what would happen if he wanted to know right now and she looked up at him. Yet, he bit her neck hard and she gasped she knew that it had probably left a mark but she didn't care. He wanted to know right now where he stood and she nodded softly. She would tell him but right now she was busy kissing him back. He bombardered her with another heated and sexy kiss. She moaned loudly as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer letting the kiss last for some time. she couldn't believe what he was doing to her. Changing how she felt and finally coming to get her.. playing for her trying to show what she meant to him and that was what she wanted.
Soft words were wonderful but the problem was ever since they had met it had been nothing but kind and soft words. She wanted to know that she was wanted and needed that she wasn't a friend but something he was willing to fight for. That was what she wanted and that was what he was now giving her. The kiss broke and she looked up at him her blue eyes meeting with his golden ones.
"I'll tell you right now Alastin. I want a man that will fight for me and with me. One that is dedicated and will not waver. I want a man that will show me what he wants sometimes and other times just hold me and cherish me. I was abandoned once.. I don't want that again. So my dearest Alastin, if that is something you can offer then I.. I want to be by your side. I want to be the girl you come home to. I want to be YOUR girl." she said as she looked up at him letting him think that over for a few minutes and decide on his answer.

Alastin listened to Ziare's response as he had her in his arms holding her closely against him. She was his grand treasure the prize that he had sought after for the past months now. Though at first it was to help heal her he had been developing and growing feeligns for her despite Jyo being around. He didn't care about what others wanted anymore this is what he wanted and he wanted Ziare. He wanted to be the one she ran to every night, he wanted to be the one that she said 'my man', and he wanted to be the one that she wanted to share intimate moments with. Nobody else. He knew that she was attached to him like he was attached to her it was shown when she had returned that kiss. He loved the feel of her arms around her neck and there was a part of him that loved it when she was shivering from his touch and any pleasure he was giving to her.
So it's time that I finally show Ziare what she really means to me and quit being cute or at least...all the time anyways...
He heard her finish and he opened his eyes to look into hers. Where many would need several minutes Alastin already knew the answer to her words. She had said it. She said if he could deliver she would be HIS girl. HIS Ziare. HIS woman that he held every night. She wanted to be the girl he came home to. She wanted to be the girl at his side. Golden eyes gazed into ice blue ones and he spoke as he kissed her on the cheek right near her lips and spoke.
"Whenever you need me I'll come as fast as I can. Whenever you're in danger I'll do my damndest to rescue you or fight alongside you. Whenever you're alone I'll be at your side and draw you close to me. And you will NEVER be abandoned again. My solemn word. When I want something I'll tell you. I'll cherish you and hold you tight every night that I have you. Just as you are MY girl I am YOUR man." He whispered softly but, in that serious tone as he gazed into those eyes intensely.
"And a healer never breaks his word," he whispered again as he kissed her lightly on the lips his arms still around her waist as he held her against him.
"I love you Ziare...for the past month I've pretty much fallen for you, your laughter, your smile, your creativity, every moment I'm asleep against you I feel content. I want that for the rest of my life. To be with you."
