Following Kalithera:
So the companions settled into camp for the night. The female companion was feeling a little grimy from the activities that day. So, she decided to tell the others that she needed to relax her muscles and take a nice long bath in the lake they passed on thier way. The men nodded to themselves. The taller one said to his female companion Who i'm gonna give her the name of Dorian who will also be a elf warrior....if that's ok? "Well I suppose that means we have to take first watch then? Thanks for that, getting yourself out of it."
She replied in a little teasing manner "Well, if your gonna ****** and moan about it, you could always join me." As she quirked an eyebrow at her very handsome companion. (Name Tanis)
"Errr, umm, that's ok i'll take my watch." he said with a blush.
He watched as she grabbed her towel and soaps and headed for the lake. She was very beautiful, he thought to himself with her long dark hair, and crystal blue eyes. He shook the thoughts from his mind and concentrated on the forrest in front of him and his other companion. (Name Jared)
Jared watched Tanis and smiled. "You kinda fancy her don't cha?"
"I don't know what your talking about. Mind your business." He shot back
"I will not! I saw you watching her. She is lovely for an elf. She has the curves in all the right places ya know."
Tanis stared at him, almost in a manner of being very protective of Dorian. She was a beautiful creature. But, he thought I'm a shem and her an elf....it may not work that way. although they would flirt time to time with each other. Did she like him? It drove him crazy. He wanted to tell her how he felt. But how?
"I need to take a walk." he exclaimed as he strolled through the forrest plain.
He came upon the lake. He saw Dorian putting her clean clothes on, then moving to sit on the large oak log staring at the moon reflection on the lake.
Tanis watched her as he moved to a nearby tree folding his arms in front of him watching her from a distance.
Her elven ears perked up. Little did he forget that how well the elves hearing is. Without turning her head she spoke. "Are you gonna just stand there and stare at me? Or are you going to join me?"
He shuttered. "Um, sorry about that I didn't mean..."
She giggled, and slowly turned to face him. "It's quite alright Tanis. Come sit with me."
She looked at him with her blue eyes gazing at hazel ones. She watched him walk over. She scanned his features....how handsome he was for a shem. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes, a nice smile. all the what if's crossed her mind. "The night is a beautiful one isn't it?" She asked sighing to herself.
He sat next to her fumbling a little with his fingers. "Yes, yes it is." He replied while looking at her.
"Um, Dorian? Can I ask you a question? It's kinda silly. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
"What is it? If it's coming from you, I don't think it will be silly at all. Now from Jared, that's another story there." She playfully replied.
He laughed at the remark. "Yeah he can ask the dumbest things at times. Well this might be too, I don't know. Don't take it the wrong way ok?" Stumbling to find the words, he knew he had to tell her how he felt. He only prayed that it didn't ruin thier friendship.
"Well, uh." Dammit why is this so hard! I'm a man for crying out loud he thought.
Dorian cocked her head a puzzled look on her face. "Wow what is he trying to spit out?" she thought. "Are you going to spit it out?" she finally said. While touching his hand.
He looked down at her hand on top of his. How soft her touch felt. He wondered if her lips were even softer.
"Shems. Do you really despise all of us? I know we aren't your favorite race, well beside the dwarves. Have you ever thought about, well, you know. Have you ever thought about us, I mean, shems, in a romantic light?" He could just throw up now if he could. "That was such a dumb question! She is really gonna think your dumb now!" He thought of himself.
She laughed "Well now, I have never been asked a question like this before. If you are asking if I ever looked at a shem as, hmmm, attractive? Well, yes I have. Many in fact. I know it is not likley for a elf or a human to be romantically involved. But, seriously if that human respected me and cared for me, then I see no harm in it. So, did that answer your question my dear?" She scooted a little closer to him in the response to his question.
"Yes, I guess it did. Ok well I got that cleared up." As he smiled at her blushing a little. "Damn I wish I knew how you felt about us." He thought to himself.
She moved a little closer to him. He felt her shoulder resting against his. Blood was rushing through his body at the contact.
"Why? Why, are you asking me this? Do you think about us?" Dorian whispered so close to his ear he could feel her breath upon it.
He shifted a little as the goosebumps were apparent on his arms now.
"Yes, I mean....no, no Dorian your my friend I couldn't possibly, I mean....ugh, nevermind." He replied a little embarassed.
He stood up suddenly and moved toward the tree to lean against it. He shook his head. "You stupid bumbling idiot! Just tell her! It's now or never. accept the consequences after!" He shouted at himself.
Dorian moved toward him and slinked her arms around his waist drawing him close, so close that thier lips were almost touching.
"It's ok Tanis. I have been thinking alot about you and I for quite some time now."
"Y-you have? Really? I have been wanting to tell you, for so long, but I could never find the words Dorian. I being human, and you an elf, I just never thought..." He was suddenly silenced with a finger to his lips.
"Shhh, well, let me show you right now how I feel."
She moved in a drew him into a long lingering kiss. She tilted her head to let the kiss deepen, with such passion and desire for the man standing in front of her.
"Wow he thought, her lips are softer than her touch."
She snaked her hand up toward his face placing one hand behind his head, the other still around his waist. He ran his fingers through her silky dark hair each kiss deeper and more ardent than the last. She pressed her body tightly against him. He wrapped his strong arms around her drawing her closer, so close as if thier bodies were one. Tanis's mind raced as each kiss got faster and more passionate. How he just wanted to take her right then and there, but the kiss broke. Both of them deasperate for air. Dorian gazed into his hazel eyes. He looked down at her, stroking her cheek lightly with his hand as he placed some of her hair behind her ear.
"You are so beautiful, you know that?" He said to her while gazing into those blue eyes. He could get lost in those eyes.
Dorian giggled a blush creeping onto her face all the way up to the tips of her elvish ears.
"Your not so bad yourself." She replied.
"We better get back to camp now, Jared is probably having a fit." He whispered into her ear, as he lightly kissed the tip of it.
"So, soon. can't we just stay like this a little longer?" she asked while giving him a mischevious smile.
Ok, ok, i'll stop! got a little carried away. Ok ready for the next person to add to this: Be creative now. *Evil grin* >
