Xavier smiled gently as they walked along in the woods. The soft rustling of the wind through the leaves was rather soothing as he walked along with his arm around the waist of the girl he had grown so affectionate for. His serene expression rippled a little with a mix of feelings, anger, sadness, and handful of others at the mention of his family.
"My family well, it's not exactly a pleasant tale," he said, his voice had taken on a rather unexpected tone. His voice sounded empty, emotionless, only with a hint of sorrow and rage, "My mother died when she gave birth to me and my father, well the only thing he could do to cope with it was drink and beat me," he said, his eyes seemed to glaze over as he gazed out at the landscape as if seeing past it entirely.
"The only real family I ever had was Magus, my teacher and his clan of Druids," he said with a ghost of a smile on his now emotionally withdrawn face, "But they're gone too, slaughtered by my father and group of specially trained Druid killers. They were outcasts, all they wanted was to be left alone but he wouldn't have it. He wouldn't let me live with a hint of happiness," Xavier said, his eyes narrowing with a barely contained fury and his voice dripping with bitterness, "That night, the night he led the attack on Magus and my clansmen, that was the night I tore that bastards throat out," he said with a grim smile.
It was then he noticed the change in his demeanor and shook his head a little with a sigh, "Sorry I didn't mean to go all dark and angsty Xavier on you," he said with a faint grin, "I just kind of get like that whenever I start talking about my past," he said and then his grin brightened a little as he tried to get away from the subject, "So what about you, what about your family?"

The tone he took was an immediate change. A Xavier she had never heard of nor seen before. In ways it scared her as he spoke this way of his family. She hadn't known this happy go lucky Xavier had come from such a terrible back ground. She had assumed it would be Mom's great sends cookies every wednesday and dad fishes on the weekends. But she hadn't expected what she had gotten.
"I'm sorry for bringing it up. I didn't realize. I.. I hope you'll forgive me Xavier." she said softly and turned his head laying a gentle kiss on his lips.
They continued walking and she heard his question but it didn't seem she did. Truth was not something that she had an abundance of and so she played Xavier and decided that changing the subject was a good idea. She walked and they broke out into a clearing. The wide area was vast and Drake lay in the center.
"Come on lets take a break. Tell me how you and Biz met up. I'd like to know. He seems... nice." she chuckled as she lay down in the grass and waited for the next story.

Xavier smiled faintly and returned the gentle kiss as they continued on their way, "Don't worry about it, I'd have to tell you sooner or later right? Better to get past it now rather than somewhere down the road," he said with his typical bright, good-natured grin.
He noticed with a sigh that she seemed to want to avoid talking about her own family. Xavier continued on as if he had never asked the questioned. No need to push her into talking about her own uncomfortable memories. She would talk about it when she was ready to and this was not that time, he could wait. He would wait.
He chuckled and lay down beside her, letting the sun wash over him. It washed over him and erased the darkness of his past, well not erased entirely but at least it kept it at bay for now. The tale of how he and Birazcir met, surprisingly enough it really wasn't all that interesting. But he was not one to want to disappoint Lex so he would tell her anyway.
"Ah, well Birazcir you see, he was a lone cub. For some reason, he has yet to tell me and I'm not sure if even remembers, he was abandoned by his pack. He survived on his own for a long time, raiding nearby villages. Biz had quite the reputation by the time I found him they called him the Ghost Wolf because he was able to kill and slip away without hardly a sound," Xavier said, pausing to chuckle a little, "He had only botched one raid and that was the raid in which he suffered a serious arrow wound to his paw. Without proper attention the paw would've become useless, and winter was coming soon. I found him and tended to his wound, for some reason he followed me. The first chance I had we were bonded as Druid and Animal Companion by Magus," he said with a grin, remembering the ceremony fondly.

Lexi pulled herself up on her elbow and put her head in her hand as she looked down at Xavier. He was cute the way the sun shown down on him and she smiled softly. She let her free hand run over to him and run over his chest gently as her eyes stayed on his face listening to his story.
"I like Biz. But sometimes I don't think he likes it when you and I are together." she admitted.
She hoped that if Biz did indeed not like her that he wouldn't leave her just for that. He was the only one that brought her true happiness.
"Bah it's not like I really care. I mean for all I care the dog can go lick himself." she said trying to be sarcastic self again.
She leaned down and nuzzled into his neck before she kissed him on the lips gently. Her bangs fell and brushed his face as she kissed him gently but romantically. Putting all the feelings she had for him into her soft lips her eyes closed as she kissed him. Lexi's free hand came up and ran over his cheek and through his hair letting it deepen a little. It wasn't one of those kisses that asked for other things. But one that told him how much she felt for him.

He smiled as the kiss broke, pulling away very slowly so as to savor the test of her lips. He shook his head a little, she was good at making him feel like he was going to melt with every kiss. He didn't know how she did it but every time they kissed he felt short of breath and his legs felt like jelly. Xavier grinned a little, just another one of the ways she was able to get him to do practically anything she wanted.
"Don't worry about Biz, he's usually a rather grumpy old wolf," he said with a chuckle, "He acts like an old man so much I think he is," he said, shaking his head a little, "I honestly don't know how old he is and I don't think he knows either, there isn't much he remembers about his past," Xavier explained as he nuzzled into her cheek gently.
"But we share a connection he knows just how much I care for you," he said, his hand gently cupping her cheek as he kissed her again, returning the feelings she had expressed in her kiss. He broke it again, slowly as he did before, "So, you never answered my question from before what about your family?" he asked with a soft smile.

Lexi smiled down at him and gave him a gentle wink with her soft hazel eyes. Only he got to see the softer side of Lex. Everyone else saw the hardcore goth girl that was ready to bite your head off rather than try to be your friend. She felt him kiss her again and her eyes slid closed as she kissed him back. These soft kisses always made her body go tingly. In a more numb can't move kind of tingly.
She was glad that he thought Biz did indeed like her. Because she honestly enjoyed the wolf and his personality. They tended to be a lot a like. He asked about her family again and she lay on the ground again. How could she tell him that? He'd think she was nuts.
"Hey, I think it's time to cook that fish!" she said getting up she whistled and Drake came running and she smiled at her puppy. "Come on lets go get some food boy!"
She began heading back towards the game trail. Maybe he would drop it. Maybe he was hungry and he might want food instead of her history.

He grinned at the wink as he kissed her. She only let him see her softer side and he felt privelleged. It was like some hard to get into club, only a few exclusive people go to go into the VIP lounge. Xavier was grateful that she was willing to allow him to be so close as to be the only person, he knew of, to have witnessed this softer side of hers.
He sighed as she tried to avoid the conversation about her family again. He knew she probably didn't want to talk about it, but he didn't want there to be any secrets between them. Xavier grabbed her gently by the wrist as she stood up and tried to walk away. He pulled her down into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Dinner can wait," he said softly with a grin, "Now I know you probably don't want to tell me about your family, but I want to hear. I told you about my past, even though I got all dark and angsty on you. It's not like I'm going to think less of you just because you had a rough past or anything," he said with an earnest smile as he kissed her cheek, "Now come on, spill the beans."

Lexi felt her wrist caught. She was spun around quickly and pulled down into Xavier's lap. She looked into his eyes and listened as he spoke. He didn't understand but she would have to tell him anyway because he did deserve to know. She swallowed hard and she blinked but still the tears fell down her pale cheeks.
She wiped them away and her wet hazel eyes looked up at Xavier. She was so very vulnerable right now. Even more so than she had ever been. Her black lashes lay against her white cheeks as she closed her eyes for a moment gathering her strength.
"I.. can't remember." she whispered as the tears fell down her pale cheeks.
"The very first thing I can remember. Is waking up about a year ago in a hospital. The doctors told me my name was Lexandra Giovanni but I don't remember having ever heard it before in my life. I can't remember my parents or my life before a year ago. They taught me archery which it seemed I had a knack for. But I don't know if I knew it before or if they had done something to me and I just knew it now." she said softly.
"I woke already knowing magic but I don't know how I learned but they, the doctors, they sent me to this man that taught me how to fletch and I spent most of the last year doing that. Then they sent me here to learn more about magic. But they haven't contacted me since so I really don't.. don't know anything."
She looked into his eyes and began to cry softly as she hugged him. Sometimes she just felt so lost. She didn't really know who she was and often times the attitude was defense. She didn't know what to do she wasn't used to things.
"Lately... well twice now... I've had flashbacks. At least that's what I think they are. Of a little girl that looks just like me and of her doing things. One had her with a mom and a dad. But.. I don't know if that's me Xavier." she cried harder and held onto him tightly her tears running down onto his shirt. He had touched a very sore subject for her and now he knew why.

He listened to her and hugged her tightly as she cried and explained to him her situation. Xavier could understand why she would rather not talk about it, she literally had no past. At least not a past she could remember. He hugged her to him tightly, stroking her hair soothingly as she talked and opened herself up to him. Now he knew why she was always sarcastic and all attitude, it was a defense, she couldn't remember anything at all and it scared her.
"It's okay Lexandra," he said with a warm smile as he kissed her forehead sweetly, "I'm here for you and now I understand why you didn't want to bring up your past. I'll help you," he said with a resolute tone in his voice, "I'll help you find out if those flashbacks are of you, I'll help you find your past," he said with a resolute grin as he cupped her cheeks, stroking her stray tears from her eyes with his thumbs.
"I promise Lex we'll find your parents, we'll find out where you came from," he said with his old warm grin, "We'll find out your past...together," he said, squeezing her against him gently and kissing her lightly, "Together, you and me," he whispered, leaning his forehead against hers and looking in her eyes with a warm, caring smile.

Lexi felt him told her tight and it was all she really needed. To be reassured that he still cared for her even though her past was non existant. He pulled her back and cupped her cheeks wiping the tears away. She looked into his eyes and nodded softly. So Xavier would help her. He was willing to go into the past with her and try to figure out who she really was.
"Thank you." she whispered as their foreheads came together gently and she looked into his eyes.
It would take quite a bit of research before they found anything as she had tried here and there but found nothing about a Lexandra Giovanni having ever been born. But that didn't mean she wasn't born under some other name and in fact she had a feeling that Lexandra was not her real name. It was a great name but somehow she never thought of herself as that. It was Lex or Lexi but never the full Lexandra.
"Xavier, I know that a lot of times I get.. well mean and I just want to appologize. I can't help it. I try to keep people away but you. You're a persistant one and you got in. And I'm glad I can share my life with someone and make memories." she whispered before she kissed him with a gentle passion.

He returned her kiss, pulling her closer against him. Xavier sighed softly as he pulled away from the kiss, with a smile. He knew that her ususal attitude was somewhat of a sfety mechanism. But he also knew that it was part of who she and he wouldn't change that for the world. He had fallen in love with Lex and that meant all of Lex, the good and the bad. Besides her sarcastic, biting nature had begun to grow on him.
"There's no need to apologize for being who you are," he said with a grin, "Besides I fell in love with Lexandra Giovanni, that means all of you even your sarcastic side," he said with a grin as he kissed her again. He let this kiss last, showing her that he did indeed care for her no matter how she acted. He pulled her tightly against him, wrapping his arms around her waist as he deepened the kiss.

Lexi looked into Xaviers eyes as he spoke to her and she smiled softly. He really was a sweet guy most of the time. Even when he was annoying as all hell he was mostly sweet and heck he put up with her. He should probably get a medal or something for just such a thing.
He kissed her softly showing her all the feelings his words could not covey and she melted. There was just something about Xavier and his kisses that seemed to make her weak at the knees. She returned the kiss and when he deepened it she went along with it too. Pulling her closer to him she wrapped her arms around his neck tighter keeping herself close. Her tongue moved into his mouth returning the kiss that showed her one feelings for him once again.
Slowly using the muscles in her body she pushed them back slowly so they lay down in the grass once more as her hand cupped his cheek. Her thumb stroked it gently. Her other hand reached up taking her hair down for him as she continued the kiss. Her black silken hair fell down around his face. Placing the tie back around her wrist and let that hand run through his hair. She wanted to tell him that she loved him again but he already knew that it was all in her kisses and touches right now.

Xavier sighed softly into the kiss as he felt her push him back into the grass. He felt like his body was on fire and he squirmed faintly as her tongue pushed its way into his mouth. His tongue wrestled with hers as he slipped his arms snuggly around her waist. His hands massaged the small of her back as he let the kiss last for what he felt was a lifetime.
Finally, out of necessity to breath, he broke the kiss. He was wordless and breathless, panting gently he looked into her eyes with a soft smile. He started kissing her neck gently as his hands ran up and down her back. Xavier never wanted to be without Lex she was highly addictive, she really should have come with a warning.
He kissed at her neck gently and then teasingly blew on the skin. He grinned as he did so, this was one of the few occassions where she was willing to hand him control. So of course he exploited it for all it was worth. Xavier enjoyed teasing her in situations like this because he liked testing the limits of how much control she was willing to give him before taking it back from him.

Xavier's hands went up and down her back and she moaned softly. There was something about his hands and when he took control over her that made everything seem perfect. She continued to kiss him for some time. Her hand softly stroked his hair he was so wonderful in everything that he did.
He broke the kiss and she opened her eyes and smiled down at him locking eyes with him for a moment. He reached down and began to kiss her neck and her eyes slid closed enjoying his lips on her senstive skin. He blew cold air on her and she shivered with a smile.
"You like taking control don't you?" she asked softly.
She grinned and wondered if she took it back if he would fight her for it. She leaned down and nibbled on his neck pulling down the collar of his shirt slowly and nibbling on his collar bone sucking it and nibbling alternatively. 'Take it back Xav.' she thought to herself as she began running her hands up under his shirt feeling his soft skin underneath.

"Taking control of you is my favorite past time," he said with a soft laugh as she asked him if he liked taking control. He grinned as she shivered under the attention he was giving her. She seemed so untouchable and aloof that taking control of her like this was certainly exciting. To control that which had seemed son uncontrollable.
He closed his eyes and moan faintly as she started sucking and nibbling on his collar bone. Damn, one minute he was in control, the next she was able to totally swap places with him. But he couldn't give in just yet. Just for the fun of it he decided to try and wrestle control back from her. He wondered how much she would fight back once he made a vie for dominance.
He shivered again as he felt her hands running under his shirt and across his skin. Xavier almost regretted taking control back because she was so damn good at being in control. With a quick movement he had flipped their places, literally. He stared down at her with a smirk as he leaned in and kissed her hard and heatedly as his hands slipped under her shirt, caressing their way up her stomach to her chest.
