15 May 13, 01:46 AM
Marco: -sitting on the lawn on a flat stone, watching the clouds, journal in his pocket of his jacket on the ground-
15 May 13, 01:55 AM
Giana: She exits the school, headed for the courtyard when she spots Marcos, tilting her head, she approaches him, curling up with her legs underneath her next to him before she speaks. "Knut for your thoughts?"
15 May 13, 01:59 AM
Marco: -glances over as she joins him, smiles even though his thoughts have been heavy of late- Hey Giana, how's your day going? -grimaces slightly- That much? I think you could get a few stories ut of me for less then that -chuckles-
15 May 13, 02:01 AM
Giana: She shrugs, "same as usual I guess, keeping Nadya and Luca out of too much trouble while I try to keep up with all the reading" she laughs softly. "So tell me a story then"
15 May 13, 02:06 AM
Marco: Keep up with? You have trouble reading? -playfully elbows her lightly, much more at ease with her in the last few weeks- A story. All right. -remembers what her sister had said about fairy tales- There was once this very beautiful princess, though quite properly she had no idea how pretty she really was which just shows she really was royalty. She lived in her father's large manor house where he was living while the castle was being built anew. A dragon -ppoints at a cloud- they had fought had destroyed their old one. She had a lot of time on her hands, mostly weaving things on a loom.
15 May 13, 02:20 AM
Giana: Her eyes widen, first in amusement and then in genuine interest as she listens. She hadn't actually expected him to tell her a story. She grins, "Did you just make that up?" She looks vaguely impressed. "That's cool, Marcos." She smiles shyly at him. "You'll have to tell me how it ends sometime." She holds up the book she'd been holding. "Ancient runes assignment...I really /hate/ ancient runes."
15 May 13, 02:24 AM
Marco: -grins- Maybe.... -notes she isn't wanting to hear more- Really? Why? I thought that was an elective class. You do realize you could drop it if you asked one of the teachers? -smiles at the idea of a Ravenclaw dropping any chance to learn something- And sure, Giana, anytime. I can't say how weird it might get though, it will depend on the clouds I think -winks at her-
15 May 13, 02:26 AM
Giana: She flushes lightly, but manages to smile shyly up at him again. "I'm not sure what I want to do yet, so I'm taking it just in case" she shrugs, "I want to be prepared for anything." She glances up at the sky. "Do you cloud gaze a lot?"
15 May 13, 02:30 AM
Marco: -wonders if she would flush if it was someone else beside him or just any boy as Nadya had said- Oh I see. -seems a bit taken aback- No idea at all? Really? What's your favorite thing besides reading to do? -chuckles and pats the book in his jacket pocket- I was writing actually, but I have to get outside every day for a tleast a little while. Really, I wish I was allowed to go hiking, but they frown on me in the forest by myself. -sighs wistfully-
15 May 13, 02:32 AM
Giana: "There are things besides reading" she widens her eyes at him before she grins. "Kidding, I just haven't narrowed it down yet. There are too many things to like." She tilts her head. "You write? Like stories or like journaling?" She laughs softly, "when has that ever stopped you?"
15 May 13, 02:38 AM
Marco: -she almost fools him, but his faces turns into a "I-see-what-you -did" smirk- Ah ha! Little mynx -laughs- Oh really? What have you narrowed it down too, I'm curious. Maybe it will help me in figuring out my own direction besides traveling. -shrugs, glancing down at the book briefly- Um, not so much stories though I have written some before. It's kind of silly, but I write my best friend from summer in the book about what all happens to me, but she is muggle so I can never show it to her. -frowns- seems a bit unfair really. My real letters to her are always so dull. -smiles mollyfied- Well let's say I have some teachers who have been after me about the forest to begin with so it'd have to be better then just wanting to go hiking. I need my outdoors.
15 May 13, 02:50 AM
Giana: She grins cheekily at him, "am not!" she tries to look offended and fails. "I was thinking maybe something in publishing actually" she admits, "but that might change tomorrow." She nods as she listens. "I'd like to see those, your stories I mean." She tilts her head, smiling softly, "So that's what you're doing? Getting your outdoors?"
15 May 13, 02:56 AM
Marco: -likes this Giana as much as the shy one, laughs softly- Oh publishing. that's a good one! I bet they make good money and you'd get to see the books before others did. Good thought. -thinks on that a second, looking up at the clouds- Oh um, really? -thinks about whether there is anything about her in them- I can find those tonight and get them for you I guess. I'm not probably book material though -rueful glance- Oh yes, I love the outdoors! Swimming, boating, climbing, hiking, I adore it! -takes her hand- here, do this with me. -leans back and lies down on his backin the grass waiting for her to join him- Now, smell that grass, see the world passing by over us? -didn't let go on purpose-
15 May 13, 03:05 AM
Giana: She grins, "exactly!" She looks proud of herself. "Oh...I ddn't mean...you don't have to go to any trouble" her voice is soft as her eyes drift from him to the sky. She smiles softly, "I like swimming too, but I haven't done much of the others" she shrugs, then blushes dark when he takes her hand. "I o-okay" she agrees, wrapping her fingers around his hesitantly as she lays back, wondering if she should let go. She closes her eyes and inhales, before she opens her eyes to gaze at the sky. "Yes, I see..." She wonders where he's going with this.
15 May 13, 03:10 AM
Marco: -gives her a fon smile- It's not a problem, Giana, really! I'm kind of tickled you think they are worth reading really. -watches her from the side of his eye as he helps her lie back, puts himself closer so he can lie on his side and look up as he uses his hand towards the sky- Now just think if the sky is that big, so huge, how much there is out there in the world? That's why I have to get out each day and at least feel nature around me, feel like I'm part of it. -chuckles- Otherwise I'd be tempted to go on a hike which never stops. Thirty or forty years of wandering the world is very tempting to me sometimes... -eyes watch her taking in the clouds going by-
15 May 13, 03:15 AM
Giana: She nods, "I-if you're s-sure" she agrees. She gazes up at the sky, trying to see the world through his eyes. "I..see what you mean" she says softly after a moment. "It's kind of the same with me and books. When I read...I can be anywhere...anyone, so its like travel in a way." She blushes, embarrassed to have revealed so much. "A hike which never stops" she repeats, "sounds like a story I'd want to read" her voice is soft, almost teasing, but she's gazing at the sky instead of at him.
15 May 13, 03:19 AM
Marco: -watches her, knowing his next letter in his journal is going to be LONG, thinks she is so cute- I want to see everything one day, just like you want to read it all, yep -he agreed with her still holding her hand- Well if you ask really really nicely, maybe one day you can convince me to write it for you -looks up at the sky for a minute, wondering what he can say next-
15 May 13, 03:22 AM
Giana: She smiles, "Seeing it would probably be better than reading about it" she admits, "maybe I should just go see everything and then write my own book" she contemplates. Turning her head, she smiles at him. Her tone takes on an intentionally over-dramatized feel. "Oh /please/ Marcos? Pretty please?" She starts laughing, "was that nice enough?"
15 May 13, 03:28 AM
Marco: -grins- yes! I can so see you writing, being a famous author. And I'll be able to tell everyone I've laid in the grass with you and stared at the sky whileI gave you the idea. -grins at the thought, then hears her plead and turns his head to meet her eyes with a broad smile, lifts her hand to his lips and kisses the back of it- Why certainly, M'lady, I am ever at thine service. I shall start on it first thing! -eyes twinkling at her, very warmly, looks back up at the sky as he lowers he hand back towhere it was without letting go- Of course, i may need occasional reminders tho, you know, to keep me working on it without forgetting. -puts other hand on his forehead and retends faint- homework is such a distraction -he fake whines-
15 May 13, 03:33 AM
Giana: She blushes, but looks pleased. "You r-really think so?" Her eyes light up, "Maybe I r-really could.." Her eyes take on a dreamy expression. "Oh I would credit you of course, in my first famous novel" she grins playfully, seeming to relax over the subject. She thinks he sounds like one of the characters from her books, and the thought has her biting her lip. He was her sister's ex, not some fairy tale prince, so why then, was she so happy to be holding his hand? He kisses the back of her hand and her eyes fly up to meet his, widening as she blushes dark again, but there is a small smile on her face. "At m-my service hmm?" She tries for teasing, "I will see what I can come up with to remind you." She shakes her head, "it isn't a distraction, its important!" She insists, before she seems to realize he was joking, "oh, sorry..."
15 May 13, 03:41 AM
Marco: -sees the blush and her pleased look and likes the fact he seems to be going the right way- Of course you can, Giana, I have faith in you. -laughs- Well good! I'd love to see the dedicatin in my name too of course, let people wonder who I am... -sees the blush intensify suddenly, a good warning he's on the edge- Of course! And I appreciate inventiveness, so I'm sure you will be a wonderful guide to keep me on track. You're hired. -laughs silently and squeezes her handly lightly with affection in mind- Don't appologize, Giana, I know I don't see it as easy as you do, but I won't forgt it's importance I promise.
15 May 13, 03:46 AM
Giana: She beams at him, "thanks Marcos, that...means a lot." She laughs softly, "yes, let them wonder" she agrees. She nods without looking at him, "well, as long as you promise." This time her tone really is teasing. "Do you know what you want to do yet?
15 May 13, 03:51 AM
Marco: -he can see her going far with her smarts, but her comment about wondering actually bothered him slightly; did others think he was anything but a troublemaker? Another thing to write in unfortunately he thought- Something with travel, that's all I know right now. I am fairly sure that you have me beat for grades. Maybe something in exploration? I don't really have anything to tie me to any one place so going out in the wilds of South America for instance wouldn't be any issue for long times.
15 May 13, 03:55 AM
Giana: She sees the change in his expression and hears it in his tone. She releases his hand and brushes her fingertips over his arm. "Marcos...did I...say something wrong?" She bites her lip looking uncertain. She nods when he tells her about his plans. "Maybe you could be a travel writer" she suggests, looking hesitant and somewhat sheepish now, the ease gone from her expression. "That way you could still write, but also travel and explore too."
15 May 13, 04:00 AM
Marco: -when she realeases his hand his head turns to look at her directly- You? No love, you're fine. I just... -hesitates then gives in- I just don't know if I am going to be any good at stuff. i mean, I don't feel that i have much direction right now. You spoke about being a publisher and it's a great idea and the best i have is I want to travel. -frowns down at himself- I wish I did have some great talent or something -thinks about the triplets secret, but he can't talk about that- I think you will be successful at almost anything though, Giana, -gives her a warmer smile, trying to push the uncomfort away for her sake- Travel writer? -grins- See, you must be a publisher, you're already trying to get me to give you all my stories now and later- teases-
15 May 13, 04:07 AM
Giana: She hears him call her 'love' and she wonders for a brief moment what that means. Nadya said it all the time to boys she liked, so it was possibly just a casual thing he did, she was probably over-analyzing anyway. She frowns at him before she rolls onto her side to look into his eyes. "I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit" she says rather bluntly. "We're fifteen, we've got time to figure out what we want to do in life, my goals might change a hundred times before I graduate, and Nadya and Luca don't even /have/ plans yet" she shakes her head. Hesitating for a brief moment, she grasps his hand and squeezes lightly. "You know what you want to do, and that's half the battle, now you just have to figure out how to get paid for it" her eyes are dancing with a teasing glint before it fades in light of his praise. "I...don't know about a-anything...but I know I want to do something big, worthwhile, you know?" She grins at him teasingly, "is it that obvious?"
15 May 13, 04:14 AM
Marco: -surpringly, she turned on him at his words with a frown, rolling closer and taking his hand again; he felt his heart skip a beat as she focused on him, very much out of character from what he knew- Yes, well that is thr tricky part... -stronger smile at her finishing words, raises her hand to his lips again, this time not taking his eyes off hers- I think you just did, Giana, thank you for those words. -sighs and shakes his head- I have to hang around you a lot more if you are going to keep me in line. -grins and keeps her hand near him, not back at her side- Ha, already seeking people to promote, I'll have to start polishing up all my old stuff. -winks-
15 May 13, 04:18 AM
Giana: She flushes, but doesn't roll away from him after he kisses her hand. "I...d-didn't d-do anything. I just told you what you should already know." She manages to grin, "it will probably take more than me to keep /you/ in line." She shakes her head when he winks at her in a way that clearly says 'you're hopeless' but she's smiling. "I"m sure its fine just the way it is."
15 May 13, 04:22 AM
Marco: Yes you did, Giana, you made me think. And apparently I needed that! -lightly sqeezes her hand again, then laughs at her next words- Yes true, i am a mess aren't I? -eyes twinkling- I would point out you have already assigned me a book, promised to keep me on it, gotten me to hand over my older stories, and given me something to think about, love, I think you seem to handle me quite well on your own. So far you've been right all along. -nods- Oh no, I must read through it all and make sure I didn't give away too many secret thoughts in the process -grins-
15 May 13, 04:25 AM
Giana: She raises her head, propping it on her arm. "Glad to be of service then" she tells him somewhat cheekily. "A mess" she agrees grinning, "but that's not necessarily a bad thing." She shakes her head again, "I don't /handle/ anyone" she reminds him, "that's Nadya's job." Realizes how that sounds and she lowers her eyes, embarrassed. "I...didn't mean that the way it s-sounded." She raises her eyes again to give him a curious look. "Secret thoughts?"
15 May 13, 04:35 AM
Marco: -feeling emboldened by her acceptance of what he said he agreed- A mess, yes, see I need a manager. Can I hire you? I pay well. -her expression changed and he nodded to himself- But I agree in a way, you are right, Giana. She will always have some kind of hand in who I become just because she was such a part of my life even if for a short time. -there, can't say he was a free agent better then that; blushes as she picks up on the last part- Um...well some of those stories started in here -pats the book with his other hand- and might be about certain people. I shouldn't let those get out of course so I just need to um, look through them a bit and remove those.
15 May 13, 04:39 AM
Giana: She laughs softly, "what would you pay me in exactly?" She shakes her head, "I don't think you need a manager Marcos, I think you'll be fine with a wand and a little common sense" she teases. Her expression sobers when he refers to Nadya. "Yeah, she tends to leave her mark on everyone she meets" She sighs, but doesn't keep on the subject as the next one peaks her interest. "Certain people?" She hesitates, biting her lip. "A-am I in any of th-them?"
15 May 13, 04:47 AM
Marco: -laughs- Well, we could negotiate that part I guess. But I was thinking books might be what you would want -winks- Oh? Well it's true, I do seem to lack a lot of common sense on some things... -doesn't like the way she reacts to the mention of Nadya- Hey, my turn now! -touches her chin to lift her eyes to him- Yes, she does leave her mark but who am I here with right now? She is not the only one who is memorable, Giana, no knocking yourself now. I happen to think you are pretty special yourself. -smiles warmly again until her other question- Um. Maybe. -the way he answers makes it clear she is- I promise not in a bad way at all, but it is from my mind and that's... well. -doesn't know what else to say-
15 May 13, 04:54 AM
Giana: She pretends to look offended. "Why does everyone always assume I can be bribed with books?" She scowls for a moment before it melts into a grin. "Might work" she admits, laughing softly, though she blushes slightly when he winks at her. Her eyes widen, "your turn to wha---" SHe breaks off, staring into his eyes as though transfixed when he lifts her chin. His touch is warm, and a foreign tingling sensation, that spreads over her skin radiates out. She bites her lip, "I...w-wasn't k-kn-knocking m-myself" she insists, but she stumbles over the words. "J-just st-st-stating a fact." Her expression radiates obvious disbelief. "Y-you th-think I'm s-s-special?" She's so distracted by this thought she misses his admission about the stories entirely, seeming to have zoned out.
15 May 13, 04:58 AM
Marco: -delighted at her blush and book addiction admittance, he feels really good about the progress he is making here- Yoou might see it as a fact, love, but I have to admit that sisters are often very similar. And yes, you are as special as she is. She is just much more loud about it, but I see it in your eyes, your heart, and the fact you care about people even when they don't think they are worth much. -puts his hand from her chin to her bangs and pushes the hair back before it falls, tucking it deftly behind her ear with a care in his eyes-
15 May 13, 05:02 AM
Giana: She opens her mouth, closes it again, and repeats the motion a couple of times before giving up entirely for a moment, looking utterly at a loss. "I...th-thank y-you, M-Marco...y-y-you're v-v-very sw-sweet."
15 May 13, 05:08 AM
Marco: -smiles at his effect on her, seeing she very much is interested in him- Sweet? Well thank you, Giana, but you can ask anyone I think in the school and more then half of them would say you were the sweet one and I am one of those. I like you very much. But don't forget -makes a teasing movement and touches her nose on the tip with a grin- You have to keep me in line for that book, you promised. -again without breaking her eye contact he lifts her hand and kisses it lightly but THIS time pulls her hand to him and rests the back of her hand in the middle of his chest, holding her lightly there against his shirt-
15 May 13, 12:37 PM
Giana: She is momentarily distracted by his smile, the warmth of it has her smiling back reflexively. She blushes, lowering her eyes. "I a-am...j-just m-m-me" she almost mumbles, looking embarrassed. "I-I l-like y-y-you too." He taps her nose and she grins back. "I promised" she repeats, nodding. He kisses her hand again and she breaks eye contact, a small, shy smile on her face. When she raises her face again, her eyes are shining, and though she's tense, she doesn't move her hand away from his chest. "Th-this is f-fun, maybe I sh-should c-come outside to s-study more often."
15 May 13, 04:20 PM
Marco: -feeling they are on the edge of something very big, a breakthrough, he smiles back as warmly- Well "just you" is a wonderful person to be around so I would like it very much if you came out with me more often. -means it the double way but assumes she won't get that part- Maybe I should start pestering you till you come with me everytime I go out here?
15 May 13, 04:27 PM
Marco: -wonders what Nadya would think if she saw them so close lying in the grass together only a foot apart as he holds her hand and enjoys the idea of being with a girl who sees him as something more worthwhile then he is and is coming out of her shell for him in a way-
15 May 13, 09:53 PM
Giana: She bites her lip, "th-thank you, I am g-glad you think so." She appears very much at a loss for what to say at that moment. "I w-would not mind that...if y-you do not mind the b-books." She realizes she's left the one she was holding laying off in the grass. "So much for that" she smiles. She smirks, and for the moment looks a bit more like her sister. "You can try, but do not forget, I live with Nadya and Luca."
15 May 13, 09:58 PM
Marco: I do say. I'm not feeding you any lines, Giana, I really am telling you the truth. -chuckles at the book comment- You know, Giana, two people can sit in the grass reading beside each other and be good company even so. Especially if they don't mind talking in between. -grimaces- Okay that might be a bit more of a challenge, but I bet i can find a way you won't expect.
15 May 13, 09:59 PM
Giana: She shakes her head at him. "I never said you were feeding me lines" she points out, grinning at him. She nods, "oh I know, but its becoming a lost art these days I think." She arches an eyebrow. "I'll take that bet."
15 May 13, 11:19 PM
Marco: Lost art? Hmm, well then we need to be it's proponents and keep it going! I can lay here in the grass and write and you can lay here beside me -patting the grass right next to him- and read! And in between you can check my writing to make sure I'm not making mistakes you don't approve of, how about that? -grins at the idea of having a bet on this idea- Ah, I think I can do better then that actually. If I gave you something to wear, Giana, would you wear it for me always? I don't have it today, but I bet I can get it in the next day or two. -runs his thumb over the hand in his his against his chest, softly-
15 May 13, 11:59 PM
Marco: -remembers the chain and hidden moon locket pair his mother had in her old box she never wore these days, knows he can convince her to let him have them-
16 May 13, 06:05 AM
Giana: The image he's painted comes unwittingly to mind, and she bites her lip, glancing at the ground. She didn't know if Nadya still had feelings for Marcos, because if she did, she never mentioned them. Still, it seemed like the ultimate in cliche to have a crush on her sister's ex. Still, what he was suggesting was harmless enough wasn't it? She could study and he would write, there was nothing wrong with that was there? Just two friends studying together....right, nothing wrong at all. "Sure" she murmurs softly, "we could do that." She arches an eyebrow, looking at once curious and wary. "S-something to w-wear? I d-don't k-know about always. W-what is it?" He runs his thumb over her knuckles and the strange tingling sensation runs up her arm again, making her shiver unconsciously. She wonders absently if this is normal.
16 May 13, 06:09 AM
Marco: -notices it take her a minute to think about this, possibly because this was making her think of Nadya he was fairly sure- Good! I look forward to next time, I'm not ready to let you go quite yet here -soft smile- Aw, not even for me? Ah well, that's a secret, I'll show you when it arrives, but don't worry it's nothing embarassing and it won't show much. Trust me, I'm not trying to make you wear it, just hoping you will for me.
16 May 13, 06:12 AM
Giana: She tilts her head, looking as though she's trying to figure him out. "Okay, it's a date....err well..not a /date/ but like a....an appointment...no...wait...that's not right either..." She flushes dark, "merlin..." She smirks at him a moment later, "Maybe", she allows softly, "it depends on what it is." She wonders what he could possibly be so keen to have her wear.
16 May 13, 06:21 AM
Marco: -laughs friendly- Don't worry, Giana, I'm not going to pick at you for a word, my silly Raven! -grins- I promise it's nothing embarassing, I am glad you were willing to think about it. I'll show you when it gets here. Maybe I'll show it to you as a break between our books and writing even!
16 May 13, 06:24 AM
Giana: Normally, it should have been glaringly obvious to someone like Giana what he was doing, and it would have been, if he hadn't been doing to her. As such, her judgment, and naturally observant tendency was clouded. She blushes, "o-okay" She mumbles, trying not to think too much about being 'his Raven'. She smiles, "I-I'm not sure wh-when I'll be o-out next" she tells him. "I p-promised Nadya I would help h-her with h-her Arithmacy."
16 May 13, 06:27 AM
Marco: -knowing the blush is because of him or about him makes him feel more confident and rathr proud he gets the reaction- Well, then how much longer do we have out here? You want to do soe more reading or talking?
16 May 13, 06:31 AM
Giana: She considers this, "This is my free period" she says softly, "I only have one this year, but I should have a while yet." The words are out before she can consider them, "doesn't matter." In truth, she was enjoying just being out here with him far more than she would ever have admitted.
16 May 13, 06:33 AM
Marco: All right then! -continues to enjoy her hand- Is there anything you wanted to ask me? Or pick a subject to talk about?
16 May 13, 06:36 AM
Giana: She studies him from under her lashes, trying to look interested in the lake instead of focusing on his face. "Umm" truth be told she already knew far more than was probably appropriate thanks to her sister, but she didn't want to discuss any of those things. "I'd really like to know about that thing you want me to wear" but her tone is teasing as she smiles at him.
16 May 13, 06:43 AM
Marco: -rolls eyes as he smiles- Ah curioisty. All right, I'll explain the idea then if that's okay, but not the look. Will that satisfy? Here, I'm going to roll back over first -loosens her hand till he is back on his back right beside her and then recaptures it, replacing it on his chest as he looks up at the clouds- It's a type of locket my mom has that she rarely wears anymore, I'm sure she will let me borrow it. But it has a mate in another locket. When you tap them with a wand, you can open them, insert a message on a piece of paper and close it, and the other will warm up. Then you can get the message out. See why I'd like to give it to you?
16 May 13, 06:48 AM
Giana: She has to bite off the urge to stick her tongue out at him when he rolls his eyes at her, a conditioned response thanks to her brothers. She considers his compromise and nods. "It will do." He rolls closer to her and her heartrate picks up slightly but she doesn't answer. She listens as he explains, intrigued. "So...like a miniature vanishing cabinet?" Her voice is hesitant. "I read about them in a book on magical artifacts."
16 May 13, 06:50 AM
Marco: -nods, should have known a Ravie would get that quickly- A very limited one, yes, but cool. They are very old. Think my mom got them as a gift long ago, but she's never had a reason to use them. But yes, just little notes, nothing long or large, just small scraps of paper
16 May 13, 06:55 AM
Giana: She nods, "That sounds...very interesting actually. Sure, I'll wear it." It would be fun being able to pass notes like that, especially with him. "Seems awfully handy to have, you're sure your mother won't mind?"
16 May 13, 06:58 AM
Marco: -nods- It's not much because it's limited so I don't think she will mind a bit. It's in a box of stuff which mostly catches dust, but she told me about them.

Nadya: She looks sad, but also guarded now. "Yes something, a very special, very important something." The look in his eyes causes a pang in her chest. "I know you did so did I, what happened that night was real, and I wouldn't change it." She stands, "I just can't give you what you want, Marco, I'm sorry." She darts toward the door in time to bump into GIana. With a meaningful, almost pleading look at her sister, she motions toward Marco and then leaves the compartment.
8 Jul 13, 07:25 PM
Marcos: -bit of hope at the word important, crushed when she says she can't return it- But...why? -watches her quickly leave, turns away towards the window as a tear forms and he fights to keep from letting something else go, feeling betrayed by someone he knows he deserves to lose anyway cause he himself is a proven asshole, hands wipe away a tear, pulls knees up to chin on the seat, pushes face into them-
8 Jul 13, 07:31 PM
Giana: Having caught enough of the end of the conversation to have a generally good idea what had just happened, she considers walking out, but then remembers her sister's unspoken plea. "M-Marcos?" she takes a couple of steps into the compartment and closes the door her sister left ajar. "A-are you all right?"
8 Jul 13, 07:35 PM
Marcos: -hearing her enter then her voice, tries harder to conceal the damage- No. I'm not. -deep shuddering sigh before he looks up out window but not at her, hand ready to hide his face if she walks around- it's all right, Giana, I deserve it.
8 Jul 13, 07:43 PM
Giana: She frowns, shaking her head vehemently and then realizing he can't see her. She goes and takes the seat next to him, but doesn't try to convince him to look at her. After a moment's hesitation, her desire to comfort wins out. "N-no, Marco, you don't." She hesitates, laying a hand softly on his shoulder. "I h-heard...m-most of it..I'm sorry. I d-didn't mean to."
8 Jul 13, 07:46 PM
Marcos: -hears her sit behind him and debates on leaving for the bathroom, hears her words and speaks back hastily, but not cruel- No. I was an @ss last year. I did this to her and now I'm getting it back. She's right not to give me what I want. I earned this. -tears in voice prompted by another hand wipe, still not looking-
8 Jul 13, 07:49 PM
Giana: She sighs, shakes her head at his back and then speaks again, sounding sad and agitated at the same time. "What just happened has very little to do with you Marcos. It has to do with..." She hesitates, considers, "something that happened before you got there this summer."
8 Jul 13, 07:50 PM
Marcos: [[grabs second while wife getting ready]]
8 Jul 13, 07:52 PM
Marcos: -looks back at her now tear streaked face red and angry at himself not her- Yes because I hurt her before the summer. I was a jerk and wasn't thinking and I sent her off hurt. I'm just as much as fault as whatever the guy did. Don't pretend to give me innocenses in this Giana, I know I'm to blame for some of it
8 Jul 13, 09:46 PM
Giana: Frustrated to the point of angry herself now, she rounds on him. "Did you lie to her? Manipulate her?" She's glaring, not at him, but at something in the distance. "Did you sweep into town, tell her you loved her just so she'd sleep with you, do whatever you wanted for a couple of months and then disappear without so much as a goodbye?" Eyes wide, she slammed both hands over her mouth and closed her eyes tightly. "Oh Merlin..." she mumbled through her fingers. After several seconds she exhales. "No, Marcos, you didn't. Please don't tell Nadya I told you, she'll kill me."
8 Jul 13, 09:54 PM
Marcos: -glares back- No I lied to myself, then tried to change her without thinking of who she was, Giana -eyes widen as she interupts and blabs it all out, face goes pale- He...He what? I....No, no, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere, she didn't say anything about... -sees her face, his eyes go even more miserable- Oh F*ck, what have I done...
8 Jul 13, 10:07 PM
Giana: She refuses to open her eyes, but her hands fall away. "What you've done?" she murmurs, "what do you mean what have /you/ done?"
8 Jul 13, 10:55 PM
Marcos: -eyes closed, shakes his head still stunned by what she just told him- If I hadn't told her goodbye at the end of the summer without warning, cut her adrift like that, she wouldn't have been easy prey for that jerk either. She got one-two punched, first by someone she -voice breaks a bit- trusted, and then messed up worse by another right after. It might not be my fault what he did, Giana, but I made it possible for him. -opens eyes and looks at her, pain in his eyes-
8 Jul 13, 11:01 PM
Giana: She gives him a sardonic look, trying to keep in mind how upset he is. "So, just to clarify, because you broke up with her, something millions of teenagers do /daily/, you blame yourself for what some jerk from Bulgaria did?" She reaches out, taking his face in her hands gently. "You're being entirely too hard on yourself."
8 Jul 13, 11:05 PM
Marcos: -doesn't resist her hands, but frowns at her words, giving her a look which says 'convince me'- Oh really? Think back to how she looked when she told you what I did first and keep that in mind when you try and tell me I am too hard on myself. -his eyes remember her from then quite clearly- I remember the pain, Giana, I did that, I was that jerk, that @ss. You might forgive me for that, but I don't think I deserve to be forgiven for it. -eyes sad-
8 Jul 13, 11:10 PM
Giana: She hesitated, but did as he asked. Her face went rigid for a moment, remembering how Nadya had cried the most of the rest of that day off and on. She had snuck into the Snake's dorm. "So you made a mistake, is every bad choice she makes from now on your fault? Will you blame /her/ for what happens to you because she ran out on you just now?" She releases his face, but keeps her eyes on his. "If I can forgive you, if she can, that I think its past time you forgave yourself."
8 Jul 13, 11:14 PM
Marcos: -frowns hearing partial reason in her words- No. But I don't blame her, Giana, I think I deserved it. I'm not asking her to forgive me. -looks away, much softer voice- But it hurt worse than I thought which makes me feel worse for what i did, especially because of what it led her to later. That is my fault. Not what she decides after.
8 Jul 13, 11:17 PM
Giana: She takes his hand and squeezes it the way she does with Luca when he's in a mood like this. However, unlike her brother, the warmth of his palm causes her cheeks to flush, and she looks puzzled for only a moment before the expression changes. "I can't change the past, Marcos, if I could I would do it for both of you."
8 Jul 13, 11:22 PM
Marcos: -her hands feels cool to the touch and he frowns, gives her a rough smile for only a moment- Thanks, Giana, I'd do a lot to try and take back what I did, but now I have to live with it and it sucks. -holds the back of her hand against his forehead a moment- Merlin, is your hand always this cool? You must catch a lot of colds. -takes her hand in both of his and rubs to warm hers up while glancing at her seeing the blush with a curious look- Are you okay? -seems ironic his tearstained cheek and sad eyes worrying about how she feels-
8 Jul 13, 11:25 PM
Giana: She tilts her head and smiles sadly at him. "Everyone has to live with their mistakes, Marcos, you, me, Nadya, welcome to the human race." When he raises her hand to his forehead she watches the movement, her eyes widening slightly in surprise as she seems to come back to herself. "I-I um...I'm n-not sure." The light blush darkens and spreads over her skin as he rubs her hand. Feeling vulnerable, she lowers her eyes quickly. "Oh...o-oh yes, I'm f-f-fine."
8 Jul 13, 11:31 PM
Marcos: -snorts at human race comment, hears the change in her voice and looks at her more carefully before he realizes it's because of him, glances back at her hand in surprise- Uh...well if you are sure. -looks back at her now holding her hand with both of his, smiles a bit better then before- Thanks for staying around, it might not seem like much but it did help, Giana. I might need to talk with you again though, if you will let me...
8 Jul 13, 11:35 PM
Giana: She releases his hand, clenching her own in her lap. What in Merlin's name was going on? This was Marcos, as in her sister's ex, as in...oh Merlin..."Y-you're w-w-welcome, M-Marcos." She nods, though she's still not looking at him, "S-sure w-whenever." The words are nervous and oddly breathy. She stands quickly. "I sh-should go check on N-Nadya, I will s-s-see you later."
8 Jul 13, 11:39 PM
Marcos: -every stutter now making him more sure, feels all confused in his head now- You are a good friend, Giana, your sister is very lucky to have you on her side. -touches her shoulder just for a moment and wipes his eyes before he smiles at her- You do that, I'm sure she wants to hear from you. I-I don't think I'm going anywhere -voice drops- for a long time... -glances out the window after she leaves, mind awhirl-

Marcos: -walks towards the party, spots Gia by the surf edge, walks up but not too close- hey Gia, what are you doing out here by yourself?
9 Nov 13, 01:20 AM
Gia Valerio: She looks a bit lost, but she sees Marco the relief is palpable. "There was this boy, but he wanted to s-see my tattoos and I told him n-no and he went away" she explained though not very well.
9 Nov 13, 01:21 AM
Marcos: "Tried to see your tattoos?" -shakes his head- "How did he learn you had one in the first place?"
9 Nov 13, 01:23 AM
Gia Valerio: She shrugged, "he mentioned having them, so I mentioned having them" she said this as though it was the most natural thing in the world. "Then he wanted to see."
9 Nov 13, 01:23 AM
Marcos: Nods. "Okay well if you mention you have them most people will want to see it assuming you are offering them a chance i think
9 Nov 13, 01:25 AM
Gia Valerio: She frowned, "I w-wasn't offering him anything. He asked to take a walk, and Nadya's distracted by some guy so I said yes." She glares at the sand, "why are boys so weird?"
Marcos: Still surprised by what Gia is wearing, steps over to the sand where it's dry and sits "You want the long answer or the short?
9 Nov 13, 01:29 AM
Gia Valerio: She sits next to him in the sand, legs folded. "I've got time" she murmurs. "Tell me both."
9 Nov 13, 01:30 AM
Marcos: laughs. "Okay, first off, guys are much simpler then girls in the way they think and hormones are doing the thinking. That's the short version." waves over in Madden's direction when he sees him "For the long version, I'm going to use my brothers, all right?"
9 Nov 13, 01:31 AM
Gia Valerio: She glances in Madden's direction as well and nods. "Explain away."
9 Nov 13, 01:33 AM
Marcos: "Madden has the hormones up the most because he doesn't resist them. That means every girl he sees he thinks is pretty, he's more then just interested in if you get my meaning" points at self- Now I've got a bit more self control. I love girls and still have the full hormones, but I prefer to know someone well, like who they are before I can go much farther."
9 Nov 13, 01:33 AM
Gia Valerio: She listens and nods, "and Maddox has hormones and no idea how to use them" she grins. "Am I close?"
9 Nov 13, 01:34 AM
Marcos: "Now Maddox, he's got the best self control. He's always cool and collected, but no one knows who he is interested in either. But he's not even slightly weird. Now, whoever it was who was asking about your tats, probably is close to somewhere betwene me and Madden. He was hoping to get you to talk and spend time with him so he could learn something about you, but still had high hopes you might show him something he could drool about." shrugs.
9 Nov 13, 01:35 AM
Marcos: chuckles
Gia Valerio: She nods, "so same basics but different reactions" she summarizes, "makes sense." She lays back on the sand. "He seeemed kind of put out, g-guess I know why now."
Marcos: "To be honest, we're tripllets so we poke fun at each other all the time, Madden would give me noogies if he knew what I was saying, but he can't deny the control issue." Grins "He's getting better though I think. But most guys who might seem weird to you are probably reacting to hormones." shrugs, gives her a glance. "Sorry, it's the way we're wired up."
9 Nov 13, 01:39 AM
Gia Valerio: She laughs, "and here I thought you were normal." She blushes lightly, "I trust you though. I don't trust them."
9 Nov 13, 01:41 AM
Marcos: "Ah, but you see you have your sister to keep an eye on me you know, she has permission to slap me upside the head if I get out of line, Gia, you are very safe with me." laughs softly "Not that i would ever hurt you, Gia, just know that." almost unheard he says "i learned my lesson.'
9 Nov 13, 01:44 AM
Gia Valerio: She nods emphatically. "I know that" she repeats, trying to reassure him. She reaches over, squeezes his hand and then releases him. "Come on, lets go walk...or something."
9 Nov 13, 01:45 AM
Marcos: Stands up. "Yes Ma'am," he teases, "Gosh, my mom would wonder why i was out with a classy lady dressed like you." Smiles at her "Where you want to talk?"
9 Nov 13, 01:48 AM
Gia Valerio: She shrugs, "I'm not sure, its nice and I love walking on the sand." She slips off her sandals and carries them in one hand. "It feels good." She glares down at the dress and murmurs one word like a curse. "Nadya."
9 Nov 13, 01:48 AM
Marcos: Nods, takes her hand and motions for her to turn around once before he speaks, "It's not your normal outfit by any means, but it's got a certain elegance to it. It does look nice on you, But I like you in your normal clothes too. They are more...you, I guess." Walks in a random direction up the beach pacing her, putting his hands in his pockets. "So how did you all get to talking before the tattoos?
9 Nov 13, 01:51 AM
9 Nov 13, 01:58 AM
Gia Valerio: She shrugs, "I was sitting with Avery, and she mentioned that he was 'checking me out'" She looks embarrassed to admit this. "He came up a few seconds later and bought me a drink." The whole thing had felt a bit odd to be honest. "The rest came after that."
9 Nov 13, 02:00 AM
Marcos: Hears s girl moaning nearby, tries not to laugh, but watches Gia out of the corner of his eye to see what she does "Oh really? Out of curiosity, what kind of drink? How was it?"
9 Nov 13, 02:03 AM
Gia Valerio: She looks like she's thinking about it. "I think he called it a Captain and Coke...something like that...it wasn't bad." She glances down the beach and her eyes widen almost comically. "Are they....I mean really...doing what I think they're doing?"
9 Nov 13, 02:05 AM
Marcos: Shrugs "Don't know it, I hardly ever drink. Mom sometimes gives us some water down wine, but that's about it." Glances over and steers her around the rather amerous and undressing rapidly couple. "About to, yes. Remember that part about how hormones were in control? That's a great example."
9 Nov 13, 02:07 AM
Gia Valerio: She flushes dark red to the roots of her hair and picks up her pace for a moment before her foot catches a rock in her haste and she goes tumbling into the sand. "W-well...that was g-graceful." Still embarrassed about the couple on the beach, she's almost at a loss for words now.
9 Nov 13, 02:11 AM
Marcos: gets a nice eyefull, but still manages to bend down and offer her a hand. "Oh don't worry, Gia, you don't have to try and cover. I'm pretty sure that was hard for you to walk past. I understand." Helps her up as he squats then adds "I've seen it from both sides, and I remember how embarassing it was early on. I wish they would pick somewhere besides the middle of the beach though." glares back over his shoulder.
9 Nov 13, 02:15 AM
Gia Valerio: She nods, still blushing as she flips her hair, trying to rid herself of sand, she was really getting sick of this dress. Sighing, she crosses her arms and pulls it over her head, revealing a bikini very similar to something Nadya might wear. "There, much better" she leaves both the dress and sandals laying in the sand. "Its Nadya's, she won't miss it if it isn't here when we get back." She grins.
9 Nov 13, 02:21 AM
Marcos: Can't help but look, wants to curse Nadya for telling him she likes him and he has to be patient, evil girl. "Ah, so she never borrows things of yours? Only makes you wear some of her things sometimes?" Can't help but glance a few times when he thinks she isn't looking "Must be nice not to worry about that sort of thing, your dress getting stollen" said teasingly
9 Nov 13, 02:23 AM
Gia Valerio: She laughs, oblivious to his staring. "It'll teach her to play dress up with me" she sounds a bit sulky. "Besides, this makes more sense on a beach I would think." She shrugs, "I might go swimming later."
9 Nov 13, 02:26 AM
Marcos: Nods, glances down her form this time looking at the bikini itself. "So this is more your style then? I like the color the most I think." Sighs inwardly and tries not to let himself react. "It'd be hard to do that since she isn't around to go buddy system with you and I didn't actually bring a swim suit. If you decide on swimming, we'd either have to disturb her with whoever she is with" twitches slightly " or you'd have to wait while I change."
9 Nov 13, 02:28 AM
Gia Valerio: She shrugs, "Or I can go in all by myself and you could go change and come back" she looks up at him cheekily, and maybe a bit offended. "I'm a very good swimmer thank you."
9 Nov 13, 02:29 AM
Marcos: Holds up a finger at her with a smile. "Oh come on, you know the rules about beaches, Gia, it's not about how strong a swimmer you are. Rip tides and under tow get the best swimmers around, that's why everyone has to have someone with them. And what, you expect me to leave you by yourself in the water? You know Nadya would beat me senseless if she found out." gives her a puppy dog face "Would you really do that tome?"
9 Nov 13, 02:33 AM
Gia Valerio: She glances toward the bar and knows Nadya's gone. "She's gone off by now, with Seth or someone else." She shrugs, "if it bothers you that much, I'll wait." She crosses her arms, "but seriously, who doesn't wear swim trunks to a beach party?"
9 Nov 13, 02:36 AM
Marcos: glances back at the party. "This kind of party? Gia, everyone there was planning on stripping to skin, but not for swimming I think. So no, I think it depends on the party probably." Motions slightly up the beach. Okay, wel lwait for me here a minute, I'll change over there." goes about fifteen feet away, conjures a changing screen, goes behind it and does find a bathing suit to slip into from a transformation of his clothes.
9 Nov 13, 02:38 AM
Gia Valerio: She nods, turning to watch the water and resisting slightly against a foreign urge to turn back to see him. She blushes lightly as the wind picks up, tossing her hair. She stepped to the edge of the surf, letting the water rush over her ankles. She really loved the ocean, especially in the early evening on nights like this.
9 Nov 13, 02:40 AM
Marcos: -comes back out in bathing suit and fastens his wand on his lower leg "Okay! How far out were you thinking of going?"
9 Nov 13, 02:41 AM
Gia Valerio: She hesitates, takes his hand and walks into the surf. "I'll let you know when we get there." She seems to lose her nerve and releases him a moment later. "Do you trust me?" For all the focus on her trusting him, it's quite possibly the first time she's asked him this question.
9 Nov 13, 02:44 AM
Marcos: Grins when she takes his hand, holds it firmly till she lets go in the surf. "Allright, your choice. Of course I trust you, Gia, trust is a two way street and I know you trust me! What's up?"
9 Nov 13, 02:46 AM
Gia Valerio: She continues until she's about chest deep. "Nothing" she said softly, "just realized I'd never asked before."
9 Nov 13, 02:48 AM
Marcos: Seems a tad surprised. "Oh. Well that is true I guess. hadn't thought of it, just kind of assumed you knew. I probably shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion, sorry." it only comes to just below his nips here.
9 Nov 13, 02:51 AM
Gia Valerio: She smiles up at him, "don't be, I guess it should have been assumed I just...thought it needed saying" she shrugs, "I've never been swimming with a boy before" she confesses in a throwback to her old self. "I'm not really sure what the rules are."
9 Nov 13, 02:53 AM
Marcos: Laughs. "Rules? Uh, never thought about it, we just always went swimming." Shrugs. "I think you can trust me not to skinny dip, I promise to keep my hands to myself unless you try dunking me, and swimming should be fine otherwise." shakes his head amused 'If you think of other ones later, we can always add them in. But no splashing, salt water hurts the eyes."
9 Nov 13, 02:55 AM
Gia Valerio: She doesn't listen, splashing him lightly in response, but not enough to get in his face. "Sounds like copping out to me" she teases, "how in the world did you grow up with two brothers?"
9 Nov 13, 02:57 AM
Marcos: -twists head to the side as she splashes, holds his hands up- "Hey, with my borhters all rules are off. That would be to ofar for you, silly one." laughs
9 Nov 13, 03:00 AM
Gia Valerio: She grins playfully. "I'm not worries, I grew up with Luca and Nadya, I think I can handle it." She splashes him again, eyes glinting mischievously. "Bring it on."
9 Nov 13, 03:03 AM
Marcos: ducks under disapears, surfaces right in front of her and shakes his hair which gets her back. "Gia, Maddox once distracted me with wrestling in the surf while Madden stole my swim trunks and tossed them away and i had to wait till he was talking to a girl to swim up and yank his ankle out from under him to steal HIS trunks to wear to get out on the beach again. When I say no rules, I meant it" he laughs at her expression. "Hence why I assumed you didn't want to roughhouse like most brothers do."
9 Nov 13, 03:06 AM
Gia Valerio: Her eyes widen, and she shakes her head. "Sounds like something Luca would do" she admits. She blushes, but manages to mostly keep composure. "I think as long as we agree the clothes stay on, I could still take you" she looks defiant now.
9 Nov 13, 03:07 AM
Marcos: Looks impressed "Oh so we're playing rough housing then? All right, since you are challenging, I'll let you make the first move, Gia..."
9 Nov 13, 03:09 AM
Gia Valerio: Eying him for a brief moment, she nods, and without any further warning, launches herself at him, hoping to catch him off balance and send him tumbling into the water.
9 Nov 13, 03:11 AM
Marcos: -lets her push him off balance, does a swim flip under water and pulls her feet out from under her from behind, surfaces and shakes th e water out of his eyes
9 Nov 13, 03:12 AM
Gia Valerio: It takes her a moment to get her bearings, when she does, before she resurfaces, she pushes out for all she's worth against the backs of his knees, surfacing to catch her breath a moment later. Chest heaving and grinning widely. "I think that was the first, second, third, and fourth" she announces triumphantly.
9 Nov 13, 03:15 AM
Marcos: As she surfaces, he repeats her move with a twist, leaping at her, but scooping her up in his arms and holding her up above his head out of the water. "Ah well I think this counts for more then one" laughs and tosses her into the next wave then quickly moves so as to not be an easy target
9 Nov 13, 03:17 AM
Gia Valerio: She grabs for him unsuccessfully as he lifts her out of the water and she squeals. "Marcos! Put me..." he tosses her with annoying lack of effort into the waves, and she surfaces spluttering, arms crossed. "That was dirty."
9 Nov 13, 03:18 AM
Marcos: "hey," he shouts back farther away "You said yourself as long as clothes stayed on it was all good!" grins back at her and sticks out his tongue
9 Nov 13, 03:19 AM
Gia Valerio: She dips under, righting her hair and resurfaces, nodding. "I did" she puts her entire body into sending a wave of water his way, taking advantage of his distracted moment to climb on his back, grabbing his arms, she throws her weight forward in an attempt to off balance him.
9 Nov 13, 03:21 AM
Marcos: lets her crawl on top, enjoying the feel of her legs and arms, simply kicks his legs out so they both sink under together
9 Nov 13, 03:22 AM
Gia Valerio: As he sends them both under she holds on tight, when he resurfaces, she releases him and finds her way back into the water. Though it annoys her, she shakes her head, throwing water. "Truce" she murmurs, "I'm going to be tasting salt for a month."
9 Nov 13, 03:24 AM
Marcos: Shrugs, "truce, I'll go with that. Though really that's half the point of being at the ocean, getting that taste of salt on the tongue so you know it's not really fresh water." Runs hands over his head smoothing his hair back " So then what next?"
Gia Valerio: "You go back to the beach and let me drown in peace?" She teases him lightly, still getting her bearings and rubbing at her now-burning eyes. "That would be the gentlemanly thing to do wouldn't it?"
Marcos: Frowns "Drowning? No, sounds very ungentlemanly. Here, I'll make it up to you." Steps over, scoops her up in his arms and holds her chest height, moves off deeper till it's up to his neck. "Now, you want to dive off my shoulders? I make a decent platform."
9 Nov 13, 03:34 AM
Gia Valerio: She flushes dark, buries her head in his chest to hide her face then seems to realize this compounds rather than eases the problem. "I...I um..." Truth to tell , she'd have rather just stayed there. "Y-you make a decent float too" she points out shakily, still flushing crimson.
9 Nov 13, 03:37 AM
Marcos: -sees her reaction. "hey Gia, it's me. You trust me, right? I'm not going to do anything bad to you, all right?" Looks concerned. "You can take your time, I don't mind being a firm support too. It's past the big waves so I'm not going to drown." Looks around and sees no one around. "Although it's getting dark, I don't want to stay out too late, not that your sister will be looking yet."
Gia Valerio: She takes a deep breath and nods, relaxing slightly. "Yes...you" she seems to come to this realization too and the tension goes out. "I just...I'm not u-used to." She quiets and looks frustrated with herself when the words wont' come out right. She turns her head to meet his eyes from where her head is still resting on his chest. "I trust you." The moment is charged, but it shatters a moment later. "D-do you think we should head back?" She feels disappointed for some reason she can't quite place.
9 Nov 13, 03:40 AM
Marcos: Glances back a bit more. "How about just close in enough we can find the beach in the light of th e stars, okay? I can head that way slowly." Still carrying her in his arms, he starts a slow walk back, smiling into her eyes. "Next time we ought to pick earlier in the evening to head out. I'll try to be more prompt next time" Grins
9 Nov 13, 03:43 AM
Gia Valerio: She leans back slightly, watching the sky. It really was a beautifuil night, and here she was, in the arms of a boy...who'd have thought something like that? She blushes lightly, very aware of him in that moment. "I don't think you can time coming to someone's rescue every time, Marco" she points out a bit cheekily. "But we can try."
9 Nov 13, 03:46 AM
Marcos: In the dark he can't see the blush, but holding her in his arms feels very nice "Well...you could send me a note or an invite next time so I knew where I was coming for a rescue. That might help"
9 Nov 13, 03:49 AM
9 Nov 13, 03:51 AM
Gia Valerio: She smirks up at him, "I'll try to be more considerate next time I need a hero" she murmurs. He was warm, really warm, and she could feel his skin against hers in places he'd never touched before. In places that no one had ever touched before, she blushed darker. "I th-think I can m-make it from here, Marco."
9 Nov 13, 03:54 AM
Marcos: "You sure?" Hesitates, but doesn't want to upset her either. 'Well if you are sure, you're sure." tilts his arms so he can let her go in the water. "There you go, my dear, But whenever you need me, I'll be near at hand" he promises, knowing she probably won't realize what he is saying."
9 Nov 13, 03:55 AM
Gia Valerio: She giggles then, and nods, heading for the shore she grabs his hand again. "I know."

Marcos: walks in from the building, looks at the long pool and sits down on the side of it to take his shoes off. 10 Nov 13, 09:37 PM Giana Valerio: Walks in a few minutes after Marcos and glances around before her eyes find him. Walking up behind him, she taps his shoulder. When he turns, she smiles a bit shyly. "Hi" link 10 Nov 13, 09:41 PM Marcos: Turns at the tap, had bene listening at the footfalls "hey Gia, have a seat and join me! Was just going to sit with my feet in the water." removed other shoe and wands both of them up on the roof edge. 10 Nov 13, 09:43 PM Delilah Nott: okay!) 10 Nov 13, 09:43 PM Harper: She struts into the party, wearing a sexy red swimsuit. She hoped to draw the attention of someone at the party.. 10 Nov 13, 09:43 PM Seth Cole: le click 10 Nov 13, 09:44 PM Fernando: Runs into the party, immediately running towards the pool like the goof that he was. "Cannonball!!" he shouts, before jumping into the pool. 10 Nov 13, 09:44 PM Brier Summerby: She walks out, raising her face to the breeze and smiles. She loves the water, and in a very short time she's stripped down and in the pool, dipping under, she resurfaces a few seconds later. link 10 Nov 13, 09:44 PM Maximus Redstrum: -struts along the beach and up to the home of the current party, smirk lighting his face as he sees a certain sexy woman just arriving as well. His knee length swim trunks swaying with each step he takes towards the party- 10 Nov 13, 09:44 PM Lux Cole: clicky 10 Nov 13, 09:45 PM Nadya Valerio: She walks out, takes one look at her sister and Marcos and heads for the bar to order something stronger than she should. link 10 Nov 13, 09:46 PM Madden Jimenez: clik 10 Nov 13, 09:46 PM Harper: She tosses her long brown hair over her shoulder as she moves towards the edge of the pool, sitting and dipping her slender feet into the cool water. 10 Nov 13, 09:46 PM Delilah Nott: t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS7Lolm06SNUUUpfIRAVC6oa3XvwZP1CKHxGJMglJ9z2-SyX4O7sTAZfsc outfit 10 Nov 13, 09:47 PM Macaila Marquette: look We're just gonna pretend that's a bikini ]] 10 Nov 13, 09:47 PM Marcos: (9 lol ))10 Nov 13, 09:48 PM Maximus Redstrum: -quietly Maximus struts up behind the sexy girl, bringing a hand over both eyes slowly- Guess who gorgeous? 10 Nov 13, 09:48 PM Lux Cole: Lux hops in with her brother not trailing far behind, when she spots Nadya. "Try not to run off and have sex with her tonight. Or at least wait until I found someone." She mumbled to her brother as she skipped over towards Nadya, and playfully taps her arm. 10 Nov 13, 09:48 PM Delilah Nott: -walks around and grabs herself a drink and sits down by the pool and dips her legs in. Takes a sip of her drink- 10 Nov 13, 09:48 PM Demyan Redstrum: He eyes the crowd from his spot at the bar, smirking at each new face. A lot of choices tonight, he decides, decisions decisions. link 10 Nov 13, 09:49 PM Seth Cole: Sighing as he follows his sister, he turns hearing an obnoxious cannon bal. Of course Alencar would here. He follws walking towards the bar, standing next to Lux and Nadya, he orders himself a rather strong drink. 10 Nov 13, 09:49 PM Fernando: Surfaces from under the water, a goofy grin on his face. He loved pool parties. 10 Nov 13, 09:49 PM Brier Summerby: She felt the splash, and pulled a face, narrowing her eyes at the boy. She knew him, or knew of him, Hufflepuff, no common sense, pining endlessly for some girl she couldn't quite be bothered to remember the name of. 10 Nov 13, 09:51 PM Harper: She laughs, automatically leaning back into the person who was covering her eyes. "I'm guessing someone sexy, based off the tone of his voice," she joked, knowing full well who it was. 10 Nov 13, 09:51 PM Delilah Nott: -glamces around and spots Seth and half smiles and glances over at the hott boy at the bar blushing- 10 Nov 13, 09:51 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, sitting next to him and sliding off her own shoes. "Nadya learned her lesson, I got to dress myself today." 10 Nov 13, 09:51 PM Fernando: He ignores the glare from the other person in the pool, too determined to have a good time. 10 Nov 13, 09:52 PM Macaila Marquette: Macaila wanders over to the bar, ordering a cranberry vodka along with a shot, she was in the mood to have some fun tonight, and what better way to accomplish that than by starting off with the right amount of alcohol. 10 Nov 13, 09:52 PM Marcos: Chuckles as he puts his feet in. "Dress disapeared eh? And I thought you were risking it. Nice move then." Smiles 10 Nov 13, 09:52 PM Maximus Redstrum: -lowers down and kneels behind Harper, lips inches from her ears as he whispers huskily- Damn straight gorgeous. 10 Nov 13, 09:52 PM Demyan Redstrum: He notices the blonde who was currently watching an equally attractive option across the way. Deciding to take his first shot for the night, he approaches (Delilah) "Hello love, I don't believe we've had the pleasure." 10 Nov 13, 09:53 PM Autumn: [[ test? ]] 10 Nov 13, 09:53 PM Harper: She shivers at his closeness, closing her eyes. "I knew it.": 10 Nov 13, 09:54 PM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head, "no, she only thinks it did, she'll find it back in her closet in a couple of weeks." She smiles at him, looking pleased with herself. 10 Nov 13, 09:54 PM Maximus Redstrum: -feels her shiver and smirks, letting his hands slide back off her head and through her hair, pulling slightly before releasing and sitting beside her. Smirking once before hopping in and moving to be in front of her- 10 Nov 13, 09:55 PM « prev · 1 – 100 · Marcos: Laughs out loud, loking down into the water. "Clever! Must be the raven in you. Way to go, I won't say a word." Glances around and sees Nadya getting a drink. "Is it me or is her drinking picking up?" WOnders if it's because of him and then frowns slightly turning back around. 10 Nov 13, 09:56 PM Lux Cole: Lux shifted in between Nadya and Seth and looked to the side noticing Macaila. She scruched her face slightly, not particularly ever getting along with the girl, but decided to have fun tonight. "Hey there Mac." She smirked. 10 Nov 13, 09:56 PM Delilah Nott: "I don't think we have either. That's a shame. - smirks and slips into the pool looking up at him.- care to join me? 10 Nov 13, 09:56 PM Giana Valerio: She turns from him, glancing at Nadya and frowns, biting her lip as she nods. "She's been at it a lot lately, I haven't been able to talk sense into her and Luca hasn't tried, though she seems to be starting earlier than usual tonight." 10 Nov 13, 09:57 PM Harper: She relaxes as he tugs a little on her hair, thinking back to the last time she saw him. When he hops into the pool, she starts to pull back, but keeps herself there as he ends up in front of her. Her hands move to brush through his hair once with a smile. 10 Nov 13, 09:58 PM Fernando: He shakes his head, getting some of the water out of his hair before climbing out of the pool and sitting at the edge. 10 Nov 13, 09:58 PM Macaila Marquette: Hearing a voice, Macaila instantly tossed the shot back before turning to the girl, she would need every ounce of alochol to remain civil tonight, "Hi Lux," she replies with an overly sweet smile, she wasn't sure why she and Lux didn't get along, maybe it was because they were too much alike..."Care for a shot?" she asks as she slides one towards her, knowing she'll accept. 10 Nov 13, 09:59 PM Demyan Redstrum: His eyes brighten, taking on a slightly darker edge as he smiles in return. Oh, he was going to like this one. Without much hesitation, he slides into the water a few inches from her and turns to face her. Taking her hand, he lifts it to his lips and brushes over her knuckles. "Shame indeed" He looks down at her, his gaze intense. 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Autumn: She walked from the house to the patio, a simple black bikini on and a pair of flip flops. Looking around she spotted a couple familiar faces, one being Lux. She smiled and walked over, oblivious to any prior conversation. "Hey guys," she greeted, sitting close to Lux. 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Brier Summerby: ((>>)) 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Maximus Redstrum: -eyes watch the hands as they move through his hair and smirks- You like my hair love? -shakes head and then dips into the water, coming back up and sighing softly- 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Lux Cole: Lux eyed the shot for a minute, before looking up and smiling widely and cheeky at Macaila. "Oh thak you love. So nice of you." She said taking the shot and throwing it back. "But then you are one to give things away huh?" 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Fernando: He looks around the area, his eyes catching a glimpse of Autumn as she entered. She was gorgeous as always, and Fernando sighed. 10 Nov 13, 10:00 PM Marcos: Doesn't like what he hears at all, sighs. "Okay, I'll try and talk to her soon then. How did she talk you into coming out tonight?" 10 Nov 13, 10:01 PM Nadya Valerio: She turns her head to smile at both Lux and Seth before smirking at the girl Lux had just greeted. She murmured softly to Lux, "friend of yours?" 10 Nov 13, 10:01 PM Harper: She grins at his question. "I thought you would have figured that out the last time we met," she murmurs, her voice a little quiet at the memory. When he goes under the water, she watches the water droplets run down his chest. 10 Nov 13, 10:01 PM Giana Valerio: She blushes lightly, "sh-she didn't...I had f-fun at the l-last one...so I th-thought I'd p-press my l-l-luck." 10 Nov 13, 10:02 PM Seth Cole: Seth eyed as Autumn entered smiling at her. He walked up behind her and inched to her ear whispering, "You are looking quite sexy tonight." 10 Nov 13, 10:02 PM Demyan Redstrum: He would have flinched if this sort of thing hadn't happened before. "It was the eyes, love, eyes like that could make a man forget anything else. He smiled winningly at her. As he pulled her close, "let me make it up to you?" 10 Nov 13, 10:03 PM Maximus Redstrum: -smirks at her watching him, most specifically his well equipped chest and moves closer, hands on her knees- That is something that was to be private. -massages and holds her knees at same time- 10 Nov 13, 10:03 PM Autumn: She smiled, knowing his familiar whisper. She turned to see him and winked. "I was hoping I'd see you here," she told him quietly. 10 Nov 13, 10:03 PM Harper: She chuckles at his comment. "I'm not exactly shouting anything out to the world." She moves her hand up to touch his wet chest, running her fingers down it along with the water droplets. 10 Nov 13, 10:04 PM Lux Cole: Lux smiled at Autumn who joined them. She didn't care for many badgers, but this girl seemed to capture Seth's attention. It meant there was something special about her. Turning back to Nadya, "Oh Mac?" She asked smirking, "A troll mostly." 10 Nov 13, 10:04 PM Fernando: He glares as Seth approaches Autumn, frowning before looking away. He really hated that bastard. 10 Nov 13, 10:04 PM Nadya Valerio: She laughs softly and nods, darting a glance at the girl. "You think so too? I taught her boyfriend to swim a few nights ago" she turns to the girl and winks. 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Macaila Marquette: A smile remained on her face as Lux accepted the shot, she knew the girl would, alcohol practically ran through her veins 24/7, though her next comment almost causes her face to fall into a frown, almost. "I like to give, and I like to take," she replies with a shrug, "Though I don't expect you to understand, it's hard when you're constantly the giver..." she says with a smirk. 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Marcos: Looks at her surprised, but pleased, momentarily forgetting his worry. "Really? Well that's nice to hear because I enjoyed it for once too. I'm not much in for the drinking part, but I do like being around people. I had a very good time last time so glad to hear you say that." pretends he doesn't see the blush as he swishes his feet underwater 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Maximus Redstrum: -slowly trails his left hand up her leg, moving slowly and massaging its way up her leg- So, Do you swim Miss Harper? -raises eyebrow- 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Lux Cole: Lux smirked and laughed. "Really? Who is her boyfriend?" 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Delilah Nott: -smirks at him and feels his touch and wraps her arms around his neck.- It is. but I think Ivs seen you before though. At my house perhaps. 10 Nov 13, 10:05 PM Nadya Valerio: She grins, "Troy's his name I think, cute, a bit awkward, but cute." She smirks, "hell of a swimmer." 10 Nov 13, 10:06 PM Harper: She shivers at his touch, her eyes closing momentarily before she locks her bright blue eyes with his. "No, not really." 10 Nov 13, 10:07 PM Lux Cole: She turned back to Macaila, her eyes darting. "Hm...right." She mumbled. Hearing Nadya say it was Troy Lux smiled. "Oh..that's cute you taught him how to swim. I taught him how to screw." She said to Nadya while still facing Macaila smirking. 10 Nov 13, 10:07 PM Giana Valerio: She takes a breath and nods. "I d-don't drink much either. I leave that to Nadya and Luca." She glances out at the water. "Think you might be up for a rematch?" 10 Nov 13, 10:07 PM Fernando: He stands, moving towards the bar to get a scotch. 10 Nov 13, 10:07 PM Maximus Redstrum: -licks lower lip ever so slowly, his eyes meeting hers- Would you do it for me? -raises left arm a bit higher up her thigh- 10 Nov 13, 10:08 PM Seth Cole: Seth smiled turning Autumn around, "Oh were you?" He eyed her, "Is that why you look like that?" 10 Nov 13, 10:09 PM Harper: She watches him lick his lip, a frown on her face. "I-I really don't know how..." 10 Nov 13, 10:09 PM Troy Marshall: Troy wasn't really in a party mood at all but for the same reason, he decided that it might be nice to get out instead of dwelling on everything that was on his mind. Honestly he hated showing up to get togethers alone but he didn't have a girlfriend so there wasn't much he could do. As he walked in and looked around, he wanted to die. Nadya, Lux, and Macaila seemed to be talking, the three people he would prefer not talk. Quietly he slipped over to the bar, attempting to hide. 10 Nov 13, 10:09 PM Demyan Redstrum: He remembered her now, she'd been one of the first ones he noticed the night he'd met Rhiley. He smirked to himself, he'd thoroughly enjoyed that night. "Ah, of course, how could I possibly forget?" He takes her chin between two fingers. "Won't happen again." 10 Nov 13, 10:09 PM Macaila Marquette: Her eyes widened as Troy's name was brought up, biting onto her lip as Lux loudly and proudly announced that she taught him to screw, of course she had... "Hm, I think he might've learned a few extra tips from myself the other night...while I was screwing your brother," she says with an expressionless face. 10 Nov 13, 10:09 PM Maximus Redstrum: -Massages her upper thigh- I can teach you, You trust me do you not -his voice was silky smooth as his other hand began moving up her other leg- 10 Nov 13, 10:10 PM Nadya Valerio: She glances between Lux and Macaila, and laughs. "I'd like to teach him a thing or two....how was he?" 10 Nov 13, 10:10 PM Marcos: "Ah so they make up for your not doing it huh? I do drink, I just prefer to have my wits about me with this crowd or going swimming." He didn't care much for alchol but it fits sometimes. Her slight challenge delivered, he glanced at her with a grin. "Funny you should saythat, when I was getting ready I made sure to have my trunks on. Seems a good choice then." grins "Did you want to go at it now or just sit for awhile first?" 10 Nov 13, 10:10 PM Harper: She struggled to focus with his hands caressing her thighs, gulping quietly before looking at him. "I trust you." 10 Nov 13, 10:11 PM Giana Valerio: She slid into the water and gave him a challenging grin. "How about now?" 10 Nov 13, 10:11 PM Autumn: "Indeed it might be," she said playfully. "I'm thirsty, can I get you a drink?" she asks, squeezing Seth's hand softly. She turns away from him to get a drink from the bar, walking among the crowd until she reaches the bottles. She spots Fernando and quickly looks away. "Hello." she greets, not wanting to be rude. She picks up a bottle of vodka and pours a large amount into a glass for herself while reaching for the ice. 10 Nov 13, 10:11 PM Fernando: Approaches the bar, grabbing his customary scotch before looking at the group of women... It looked like a catfight was going to happen, and Fernando was not about to miss this! 10 Nov 13, 10:11 PM Lux Cole: Lux laughed a bit, "Well my brother has screwed the school, so you might wanna get yourself tested. Or you know..not consider yourself lucky atleast." Lux rolled her eyes and turned back to Nadya. "No offense.." She sort of had forgotten she and her brother were sometimes...whatever. "Oh it was so long ago." She waved off referring to Troy. 10 Nov 13, 10:11 PM Delilah Nott: -grins and looks up into his eyes and smiles- Well I know what could make you not forget. -says teasingly and brushes her lips softly against his- 10 Nov 13, 10:12 PM Fernando: He grins as Autumn comes near, his eyes soft. "Hey Autumn, what's up?" he pretends like he wasn't disappointed with her for being with Seth. 10 Nov 13, 10:12 PM Maximus Redstrum: -Both hands slide up to cup her arse, bringing her to him and sliding her into the water in front of him, One hand moving to her head and holding the back of it to keep her close and steady, intent gaze on her eyes- 10 Nov 13, 10:12 PM Delilah Nott: (if I dissappear my phone died lol)) 10 Nov 13, 10:12 PM Marcos: Caught off guard he stares down at her and then realizes where his gaze is. "That's-- that's a swimsuit? I thought that was a dress you stinker! You got me..." laughs and pulls shirt off, setting it beside him and then standing to strip off his shorts revealing his bathingsuit underneath 10 Nov 13, 10:12 PM Nadya Valerio: She laughed, she couldn't help it. "I'll take my chances, I'm not worried about what your brother does with his..." she waved toward Mac "free time." 10 Nov 13, 10:13 PM Seth Cole: Seth smirked and nodded about being thirsty. He could definitely use another drink. Holding her hand he followed Autumn to the bar, as she greeted Fernando. Instinctively, Seth draped and arm aroun Autumn's shoulders as he reached for the vodka bottle Autumn had and poured himself a glass. 10 Nov 13, 10:14 PM Autumn: She overhears what is being said between the girls and frowns, looking at Seth. She didn't like knowing who he was with, and hearing it right in front of him made it really awkward. She avoided eye contact with everyone, suddenly wishing she hadn't come here at all. "Oh ya know... just gonna go drown myself now," she told Fernando. 10 Nov 13, 10:14 PM Giana Valerio: She shrugs, "it is a dress, but its a cover, made to handle water. She peels it off and tosses it onto the chair, revealing the bikini from the other night. "Feel better now?" She's giving him a look that says she has no idea how her words could be taken. 10 Nov 13, 10:14 PM Demyan Redstrum: He leans forward, brushing his lips over the spot just below her ear. "Do you now?" he whispers, "I'd like to remember." 10 Nov 13, 10:15 PM Harper: Finds his gentleness incredibly hot, and isn't afraid to tell him so. "I've never seen you so gentle, Maximus," she comments, though she lets him hold her because she was a bit frightened of the water. 10 Nov 13, 10:15 PM Macaila Marquette: She rolled her eyes hearing Lux's comment, sometimes she wished she could tape the girls mouth shut as she reached for her drink, though someone caught her eye as she looked over, offering a small smile, "Didn't think I'd see you here..." she says quietly to Troy, hoping Lux and Nadya could occupy each other for the rest of the night since she sure as hell wasn't going to. 10 Nov 13, 10:15 PM Fernando: He sees Seth put his arm around Autumn and frowns, but doesn't turn away. "You do realize that he isn't taking your affection as seriously as you deserve right?" 10 Nov 13, 10:15 PM Marcos: With his shorts off, he slips his wand under a band around his calf, glances up at her suddenly and then relaxes "Ah ha, well still sneaky. I feel like I'mbeing set up by a card shark suddenly." grins at her and putting his shorts with his shirt, slips his legs in and then slides under water in one smooth move in front of her, surfacing a moment later to push his hair back. "Let's move to the end away from all the company so no one else gets splashed when I toss you." winks 10 Nov 13, 10:16 PM Marcos: www.yana.kiev.ua/img/hotelsb/1620912852.jpg10 Nov 13, 10:17 PM Lux Cole: Lux smiled and laughed. Noticing Autumn's face as she looked back at the overheard conversation. She wanted to run up to Autumn and tell her that she didn't really mean any of that crap about Seth. She frowned noticing Fernando butt his head. "Ugh.." Lux mumbled. "Nadya..has everyone slept with each other here.." She looked around wondering, not sure why it mattered at this very moment. 10 Nov 13, 10:18 PM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head at him, but nods. "You mean when I dunk you right?" She smiles playfully up at him. "Because that sounds more realistic." 10 Nov 13, 10:18 PM Autumn: She looks wide eyed at Fernando, moving closer into Seth's side, his arm still around her. "How would you know?" she asked him defensively, her expression one of unhappiness. "I think that's our business and no one elses," she huffed, leaning up on her tippy toes to kiss Seth's cheek. 10 Nov 13, 10:18 PM Troy Marshall: He nearly jumps as he gets his drink and is caught by Macaila, "Oh hey... yeah I um wasn't going to come... and I still don't know why I'm here" he explained as he sipped on his drink. "I see that you have a lot of friends here..." he pointed out, nodding to Lux and Nadya. 10 Nov 13, 10:19 PM Delilah Nott: -nods and moans softly in his ear when he does that and runs her hands down his back.- mmmmmhmmm -bites his lip playfully- 10 Nov 13, 10:19 PM Fernando: He laughs, rolling his eyes at her. "You think I don't hear what those girls were saying?" 10 Nov 13, 10:19 PM Nadya Valerio: She glanced in the direction Lux was watching, following her gaze. "Damn" she murmurs, "Fernando doesn't know when to quit, I may have to go keep your brother from winding up in Azkaban for murder." 10 Nov 13, 10:19 PM Maximus Redstrum: -smirks as she comments- Can a beast not be gentle at times love? -brings his fingers into her hair and holds it tightly pulling slightly and smirking- 10 Nov 13, 10:19 PM Marcos: laughs and smiles at her. "Yep. I'm being set up, I can feel it." walks through the water to the other end asking "So where did you learn how to swim? Siblings?"" 10 Nov 13, 10:20 PM Autumn: She lifted the glass to her lips and downed it, almost choking with how fast she drank it. "Who cares what they're saying? I know he loves me and that's all that matters," she huffed. 10 Nov 13, 10:20 PM Fernando: He sighs. "Because love means sleeping around with other people, right?" 10 Nov 13, 10:21 PM Harper: She laughs at what he says, her eyes bright. "I suppose so, but sometimes the beast side is better," she replies with a wink. She lets him tug her hair, her eyes closing. 10 Nov 13, 10:21 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, "sort of. Remember the massive pool in the back yard? Its always been there, Luca thought it'd be fun to toss me in one day when we were little. I learned pretty fast." 10 Nov 13, 10:21 PM Seth Cole: Seth gritted his teeth, and felt himself tighten up when he heard Fernando running his trap again. But then felt more at ease when Autumn leaned into him, coming to their defense. "I do agree that this is none of your business. And..I'm sorry one of those girls is my sister, you can't honestly believe everything that comes out of her mouth." Seth shrugged and heard Autumn, he pulled her in closer. 10 Nov 13, 10:21 PM Fernando: He shakes his head. "I only go by what I notice, not what others say." 10 Nov 13, 10:22 PM Fernando: "If you cared about Autumn so much, why is she often alone?" 10 Nov 13, 10:22 PM Macaila Marquette: Macaila rolls her eyes when he says she had lots of friends here, "Oh, yeah! You know you're right. Though I don't think you and Lux need any introductions..." she says, not sure why she felt a bit angry that she hadn't known Troy had slept with Lux, but she did. "You sure do know how to pick em', Troy," she adds, tossing back her drink and standing up, this was annoying, though she stopped walking when it seemed like Seth was battling it out with another guys, "Sweetie, he doesn't love anything. Unless you call what we did on the beach a few nights ago love..." she says staring Seth in the eyes before walking away. 10 Nov 13, 10:23 PM Maximus Redstrum: -growls at that, bringing his forehead to hers- I agree darlin, completely agree -licks lips and brings her body closer to his in the water closing the distance between them completely- 10 Nov 13, 10:23 PM Autumn: "I love Seth," she challenged. "I slept with you, but I love only him. You can't tell someone how to feel." She knew it might be awkward for Seth to hear the words come from her mouth, but he already knew it happened, so she hoped he would not be angry. 10 Nov 13, 10:23 PM Marcos: Nods, not looking alarmed. "Sounds familiar. Madden and I were playing at a dock when Maddox found out the board was loose enough when he jumped on it we were both launched. I can still hear my mom yelling his name while running." Shakes his head "Funny, it was scary then, but funny now to think back on. Fortunately it wasn't very deepat the docks." 10 Nov 13, 10:23 PM Lux Cole: Lux furrowed her brows and agreed with Nadya. "I think..I need to help my baby brother." She muttered standing up and getting in between the three. "Okay...how about you shut up and leave my brother alone before I chop off mini -" Lux's eyes widened as she stopped mid sentence hearing Macaila. "You...you..slut" 10 Nov 13, 10:24 PM Nadya Valerio: She takes a deep breath as though agreeing and stands, sidling up to Fernando and looping her arm through his. "I prefer to go by what I see personally, and what I see is Autumn very much not alone. Seth's a big boy Fernando, let Autumn decide what she wants." 10 Nov 13, 10:25 PM Harper: She grins at his reaction, pressing close to him as well. She liked the hard edge to everything Maximus did. She moved her head, resting it lightly on his shoulder. Even though she was frightened by the fact that she was in the pool, she felt relaxed with him. 10 Nov 13, 10:25 PM Seth Cole: Seth laughed. He really didn't have time to waste on petty things like this. He waved off Fernando, not really giving a shit about what was spewing from his mouth, and then laughed hearing Macaila. "Says the girl who slept with someone to make boy toy jealous." 10 Nov 13, 10:25 PM Maximus Redstrum: -glances over at the comotion at the bar and then back to the girl in his arms, one hand bringing up slowly up her back and turning her in the water, the one in her hair bringing her back slowly- Still trust me, Dont'cha? -raises eyebrow before continuing, awaiting her response- 10 Nov 13, 10:27 PM Nadya Valerio: She turns, glancing between both volatile situations and catches sight of her brother and Gia. She tried to catch Marco's eye, wanted to warn him things might get ugly, wanted him to know to get Gia out if it came to that. 10 Nov 13, 10:27 PM Fernando: He shakes his head, but stays silent. He was not in the mood to fight, not really. But he really did want to protect his friend, and this bastard was not safe for her. He lets Nadya slide her harm through his. 10 Nov 13, 10:27 PM Macaila Marquette: "Excuse me?!" she says, stopping instantly and turning to face Lux. "I'm the slut for sleeping with your brother who just a few minutes ago you said slept with the whole school? Riiight," she says with a cold laugh, glancing at Seth, "We both wanted sex Seth, simple as that." 10 Nov 13, 10:27 PM Delilah Nott: Delilah Nott: -nods and moans softly in his ear when he does that and runs her hands down his back.- mmmmmhmmm -bites his lip playfully- 10 Nov 13, 10:27 PM Autumn: She felt like a knife was being rammed into her chest at hearing that Seth had slept with that girl over there. She wanted to disappear, but she obviously couldn't, so she stayed silent and looked at the ground, her blurred vision struggling to focus on her toes. 10 Nov 13, 10:28 PM Harper: She let him lead him however he wanted to, though she really wanted to be turned towards his chest again. It felt safer. She leaned against him when he positioned her, nodding. "Y-yes." 10 Nov 13, 10:28 PM Lux Cole: Lux eyed Autumn, seeing the hurt in her eyes and approached Macaila. "No, you just an asshole. I know you don't like me, but this..my brother Autumn and that fuck tard.." She pointed to Fernando, "Has nothing to do with you. SO keep your mouth shut and go hump a tree or something." 10 Nov 13, 10:29 PM Nadya Valerio: "Siblings are great aren't they?" She gives him a mischievous look and dips below, pushing at the backs of his knees the same as before and trying to catch him off guard. 10 Nov 13, 10:29 PM Maximus Redstrum: -lowers her head to be water level his hand holding her just above the water and begins dancing with her in the water, a kind of dirty dancing move and smirks as he watches her hair flow out and in the water around her face- So beautiful 10 Nov 13, 10:29 PM Nadya Valerio: She doesn't release Fernando, but she does turn to Macaila. "Its called a joke, those of us with personalities make them sometimes." 10 Nov 13, 10:30 PM Nadya Valerio: ((Should have been Nadya)) 10 Nov 13, 10:30 PM Marcos: sees Nadya looking his way and eyebrows went up curiously, but he nods. "I think your sister just tried to warn me-- Oh yep, things are getting heated back there. Wait a moment." Pulls out wand and wands his shoes, his clothes and her shirt down to their end of the pool far from the raised voices, hiding them in the corner together which was oddly comforting somehow. "There, I think that's far enough." 10 Nov 13, 10:30 PM Fernando: He raises an eyebrow at Lux. "Fuck tard? Really?" he laughs a bit. He partially wanted Nadya to let go of him so he could punch that asshole Seth, but he stayed as calm as he could, his body shaking from rage. 10 Nov 13, 10:31 PM Giana Valerio: She glances at Nadya and then back at Marcos and nods. "I hope she'll be all right, she and Lux are good friends." 10 Nov 13, 10:32 PM Harper: She actually blushes a bit at the compliment, though she also wanted to hold onto something because she was scared. The dancing part was fun, and distracting, but she really had not ever felt comfortable in the water before. 10 Nov 13, 10:32 PM Seth Cole: Seth eyed Autumn, not sure what to say to her. He took back his arm, crossing them against his chest and eyed Fernando. "I love Autumn, but we are in school and able to do who we want. I'm only sorry that she chose to spend her time with you." He sighed. "Honestly..I think I'm being rather normal right now. So...you should jsut leave Autumn alone. Considering she was fine until you opened your mouth." He turned back to Autumn leaning close, "Do you want to go?" 10 Nov 13, 10:32 PM Maximus Redstrum: -Continues the dance, bringing her up from the dip and close to him, eyes locking with hers as he continues to dance a deep passion hidden inside his sexy eyes, tongue darting out to lick his lip- 10 Nov 13, 10:33 PM Marcos: "Maybe I'll keep the wand out as a back up for her just in case. You mind waiting a minute on our competion?" he flashed her a smile. "I'd rather you and your sister stay safe after all." 10 Nov 13, 10:33 PM Nadya Valerio: She tightened her grip on Fernando. "Let it go, please, trust me, not the time or place." She glances between the four people in the area she actually cares about. Wow, caring about Seth, that was something to think on later. 10 Nov 13, 10:33 PM Harper: She leans close against him, pressing herself as fully as she could to him as they danced. Him licking his lip made her feel warm all over, and she wanted to kiss him, but held back. Normally she was the type who took charge, but she wanted to see what Maximus would do next. 10 Nov 13, 10:34 PM Delilah Nott: -nods and moans softly in his ear when he does that and runs her hands down his back.- mmmmmhmmm -bites his lip playfully- 10 Nov 13, 10:34 PM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head, "not at all, Nadya's quick to defend people, but she can't duel for anything." She frown, looking worried. 10 Nov 13, 10:34 PM Fernando: He sighs angrily, turning away from Seth and Autumn. They could do whatever the fuck they wanted, he was done. 10 Nov 13, 10:35 PM Macaila Marquette: Macaila laughed coldly, "Fuck off Lux. Seth's a big boy," she says, wanting to say more, but she enjoyed leaving the sentence there with a smirk. "And I'd rather not hump a tree, I think you've already done them enough harm," she says with a pitied look on her face as she backs away from the group. 10 Nov 13, 10:35 PM Demyan Redstrum: He smirks against her lips, then shifts to trail them over her hear and down her neck to her shoulder. "I could do this" she murmurs, "all night if you'll let me love" and a few other things... 10 Nov 13, 10:35 PM Maximus Redstrum: -Growls feeling her close to him making his mind swim with so many thoughts, His eyes dart around without her knowledge scanning the area for another brunette that he hoped would show and then back to the current brunette in his arms and bringing his lips crushingly down onto hers, demanding her kiss- 10 Nov 13, 10:35 PM Troy: Troy raised his eyebrow at her remark, so Lux and told Macaila about them both. "I don't talk to Lux" he explained shrugging, wondering why she cared so much and why she sounded so angry. "I didn't pick her Macaila. And why does it matter to you? I could say the same thing. Seth is just a dime! " he said sarcastically, not really wanting to get into why the Troy and Lux experience had happened. 10 Nov 13, 10:36 PM Autumn: She smiled at him. Even though her feelings were hurt, she didn't want to seem like things were bothering her. She'd had her moment of weakness and now it was time to look strong. "No, I'm fine sweetie. Did you want to leave?" she asked him sweetly. 10 Nov 13, 10:37 PM Harper: She smirks against his lips, surprised that he was kissing her. The last time... well, he never kissed her at all. At least not on the lips. She kissed him roughly, meeting his hard kiss with one of her own. 10 Nov 13, 10:37 PM Nadya Valerio: She digs her nails into her palm. Lux was her friend, and unlike Seth with whom she had a very complex relationship, his sister was practically family. She slides her wand out of the holster on her arm, gripping it. "You're right Macaila, Seth is a big boy, and he's too smart to make the same mistakes" she eyes Macaila up and down, "twice." Seth was a manwhore, but it was one thing for she Lux or Kinley to say it, and another all together from someone else. 10 Nov 13, 10:37 PM Maximus Redstrum: -the look on his face when he pulled from the kiss was something that was dangerous, Instantly he turned and placed her bottom on the edge of the pool. His eyes not meeting hers as he moved out of the pool and onto the side and standing to his feet, hand through his hair- I need a drink, Ill get us both one and return.. You wait here 10 Nov 13, 10:38 PM Marcos: Glances at her briefly. "You think it's safe? She has been drinking pretty fast as you said and we can go over the wall if we need to, but I'd rather not." 10 Nov 13, 10:39 PM Delilah Nott: -she felt his lips against her neck. her hands slipped down his back with her nails digging deeply.- "what would those other things be?" -grins 10 Nov 13, 10:39 PM Harper: She looked him in the eyes when he pulled away, frowning a bit at what she saw there. It was a bit frightening, but also incredibly exciting, to see him like that. "Uh... okay?" she said quietly as he started to move away, wondering what she had done wrong. 10 Nov 13, 10:39 PM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head. "I...I c-can...if I have to." She holds up her arm, revealing her wand. "I'm sober, and Nadya's going to get herself in trouble if she keeps talking." 10 Nov 13, 10:40 PM Fernando: This time Fernando tugged on Nadya. "Come on, they aren't worth it." 10 Nov 13, 10:40 PM Macaila Marquette: "I wouldn't be so sure about that," she responds as she takes the opportunity to look Nadya up and down with a cold smile, "But trust me, I'm not here to fight over Seth, so you all can just carry on. Please, put that thing away before you poke someone's eye out," she says tapping the tip of her wand like it was a toy. 10 Nov 13, 10:41 PM Seth Cole: Seth smiled down at Autumn and shook his head. "I don't give a shit about him.." He said amused. "But if you feel crappy and wanna leave just let me know." He looked up hearing his sister and Nadya defend him. It was...it was nice. Then hearing Fernando this time he lost it. "Don't... just stop. You were Autumn's friend..so I get it. But Nadya..that's me and My sister's family. So please shut the fuck up." 10 Nov 13, 10:41 PM Maximus Redstrum: -walks to the bar a bit slower than normal, Head going into his hands when he gets to the bar. For a moment he thought about the woman he had proposed to, then back to the trick in the pool.. Opening his eyes and grabbing a drink, knocking one back and ignoring those beside him as he grabs two more and heads for the pool once more- 10 Nov 13, 10:42 PM Nadya Valerio: She released Fernando and turned to glare at him. Through her teeth, and with dark eyes, she bit out. "They're my family." By the time Macaila finished speaking she was livid. "I'm not sure how you use a wand, but poking is the last thing on my mind." Her words about mistakes had jabbed more than Nadya would admit, but she'd worry about it later. 10 Nov 13, 10:42 PM Marcos: "she does have a tongue on her for trouble." Does a double take seeing the wand in her hand "Well that's good. You are just full of surprises aren't you?" Clearly approves. "If she gets knocked back into the pool I'm catching her," he said wand at the ready and word almost on his lips to cast 10 Nov 13, 10:44 PM Harper: [ ]
10 Nov 13, 10:45 PM
Giana Valerio: She nods, calm, but firm. "I don't like people messing with my family" she says simply. "Whatever they do to deserve it."
10 Nov 13, 10:46 PMMaximus Redstrum: -returns to the pool to find the chick gone and frowns, sitting and downing another beer before closing his eyes- 10 Nov 13, 10:47 PM Autumn: "Do you want to get out of here Seth?" she asked him quietly. She wanted to be alone with him. She needed it. 10 Nov 13, 10:47 PM Marcos: "I don't blame you. If anyone messed with my brothers I'd have their backs too. There's no one else but mom though and it sounds like you have more family to defend then me." 10 Nov 13, 10:47 PM Nadya Valerio: She tried to relax, aware in some part of her mind that the alcohol was making things more intense. She really didn't need to get in a fight tonight. The scenery wasn't even stable. 10 Nov 13, 10:48 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, "the Coles are kind of...well...second family...except that Nadya and Seth..." she widens her eyes and closes her mouth. "Nevermind." 10 Nov 13, 10:49 PM Macaila Marquette: "Relax, I only argue only things that matter, and though I'm sure Seth matters to you...since it's obvious by the look on your face, he doesn't matter to me," she says finally as she throws her hands up as if in defeat, "Shit, what's it take to have a good drunken night around here," she sighs. 10 Nov 13, 10:50 PM Marcos: Senses something he does not want to ask about or learn. "Ah. Already forgotten, Gia." He frowned, thinking things might have gotten calmer. 10 Nov 13, 10:51 PM Delilah Nott: ((im going to go bye guys)) 10 Nov 13, 10:51 PM Nadya Valerio: She takes a deep beath, ignoring the statement about Seth and nodding. "I'm too drunk for this" she admits. She glances at Seth and Autumn and smiles to herself, looks like he might have found someone to settle with after all. The thought makes her sad, not because she wants Seth, but because that now meant she was the only one not after some sort of love. 10 Nov 13, 10:52 PM Giana Valerio: She blushes, but nods gratefully. "Do you think it blew over?" 10 Nov 13, 10:53 PM Marcos: Without looking at her his head goes to one side. "I think so, but the look on her face right there didn't look promising for someone. Maybe the worst part is over?" Glances at her for confirmation 10 Nov 13, 10:56 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, "She's very protective of Lux, and Seth too I think which is kind of odd, but it looks like things are good now." She puts her wand away and takes a deep breath. "I'm glad, I really didn't want to have to do anything like that." 10 Nov 13, 10:57 PM Marcos: "Okay, I'll put mine away too," ducks underwater to slide his back in the band on his leg and then resurfaces, brushing his hair back. "yeah kinda destroys the fun at parties too those kind of incidents. This is why I never drink at these things." 10 Nov 13, 11:00 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, "this is why I don't drink very often period" she agrees. Her adrenaline still rushing, she bites her lip. "Um, Marcos?" 10 Nov 13, 11:00 PM Marcos: Looks at her, see her biting her lip "yes Gia?" 10 Nov 13, 11:04 PM Giana Valerio: She's shaking in the water, looking relieved but oddly unnerved. "Can you just...hug me...f-for a m-m-minute?" 10 Nov 13, 11:05 PM Marcos: Looks surprised indeed, but steps forward without hesitation. "Sure, Gia, just because it's you." Gives her a big hug, the bear kind and just holds her waiting to see if she needed more then that and whispers "Anytime you want it..." 10 Nov 13, 11:06 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, a bit nervous, but needing contact right now. She smiles softly a moment before burying her head in his chest. "She's so stupid" she mumbles half-heartedly. "She's getting into so much trouble and I don't know what's happened, or how to..." She goes silent at his words but doesn't move from his arms. 10 Nov 13, 11:12 PM Marcos: Sighs. "I know. I wish I could get through to her, but I don't think I get to say much on this subject now. Like, she will listen, but she's not...taking it to heart and really listening now." continues to hold her tighly as she seems to need. "Go ahead and let it out, Gia, You know I understand at least. I promise she won't hear it from me unless you want me to." 10 Nov 13, 11:16 PM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head, pulling back only slightly to look at him. "She won't listen to anyone anymore. She just goes from guy to guy like its nothing, and she's drinking all the time." She glances back at her sister, who, as if to prove the point, has a bottle of vodka and a double shot glass on the bar. "I can't find my sister anywhere in this person Marco..." 10 Nov 13, 11:18 PM Marcos: Nods, glancing at her sister and then back to her, very concious of her closeness. "I know. I've been watching. It hurts that she thinks so little of herself, like I have not seen her sketching at all recently." Looks sad, glances down at the ring around his neck on the necklace. "But I can't force her to see herself either. I'm more worried about the guys then the drinking somehow and that doesn't seem right..." 10 Nov 13, 11:22 PM Giana Valerio: She frowns, "She hasn't touched her sketchbook in weeks that I know of" she informs him. "I caught her tearing pages out a couple of weeks ago, and that's the last time I saw it." She nods, "me too." Drinking scars would heal, the kind she was inflicting on herself by giving herself to guys like Seth Cole would not go away near so easily." Her voice breaks, "Its like she's lost somewhere and I don't know how to bring her back." She feels the wetness on her cheek mixing oddly with the pool water. "She won't even talk to me anymore." 10 Nov 13, 11:25 PM Marcos: head snaps up alarmed "Tearing them OUT?" lowers voice realizing how loud that was. "Holy Sh!t that's gotta be a bad sign..." Sees her crying and pulls her close again, one hand comng up to wipe the tears away gently as he murmurs "I'll keep thinking on it, Gia, there has to be something we can do together to get through to her. She may not listen to us till we work togethr for all I know.... We'll find something to save her." 10 Nov 13, 11:29 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, "and then she lit them with her wand. I tried to stop her but..." She looks miserable, "you try stopping Nadya when she's got her mind set on s-something." She wipes her eyes and nods, "I'm not sure what's left. Luca thinks I'm overreacting and that she's just growing up. I can't go to mum and dad because they might pull her from school and I...I can't let them do that." It was selfish of her, but Gia couldn't fathom every day without her twin, it would be awfuil. 10 Nov 13, 11:39 PM Marcos: Smirks for a moment "yes, she strong willed all right. I had no idea how much till now though." Listens, feeling there are not many optioins left either. "There has to be something. We'll give ourselves a week to think on it and then if we can't thik of anything else, we'll go talk to her together. All right?" 11 Nov 13, 12:35 AM Giana Valerio: She nodded, seeming to gather herself a bit and she pulled away. It seemed to occur to her belatedly that they were both half dressed and wet. She flushed crimson. "I...um..th-thank you...for th-th-that." She stares resolutely at the water, then seems to realize that isn't an option either and stairs at her hands. 11 Nov 13, 12:50 AM Harper: [[Rose, if I joined, would you be willing to ICC with one my characters again?]] 11 Nov 13, 12:51 AM Giana Valerio: ((We're doing actual plot stuff love, I'm not running multiples right this sec, we can move if you need the public box though)) 11 Nov 13, 12:53 AM Harper: [[Nah, that's fine]] 11 Nov 13, 12:53 AM Harper: [[Continue]] 11 Nov 13, 12:53 AM Marcos: Sighing inwardly as she realized where they were and how, "Gia-- If it makes you feel better I can get down so you can only see me from the neck up, you know." drops to his knees and makes a puppy facebefore tilting his head at her like a puppy does, his head is just above the water "Better?" 11 Nov 13, 12:56 AM Giana Valerio: She giggles, still wiping her eyes. "I s-saw you sh-shirtless a lot over the s-summer Marco...I think I'll l-live." She sends a small splash his way and grins cheekily at him as she pats his head like one would a puppy. 11 Nov 13, 12:59 AM Marcos: Grins, relieved some of it at least stopped. "Oh good! No dying please." Winks and then tilts his head the other way as if confused, then leans into her hand petting. "Then what's different now, Gia? You know I won't step out of line." 11 Nov 13, 01:06 AM Giana Valerio: She shakes her head at him, slinging water. "Out of...why would I be worried about you stepping out of line?" She looks genuinely confused. 11 Nov 13, 01:10 AM Marcos: Eyes her and knows the moment has fled. "Oh, sorry i thought you were suddenly worried about me getting too close. I just wanted you to know I wouldn't push you on anything," he shrugged, honesty in his face and eyes. "Sounds like I misunderstood what was happening, I appologize. Does that mean you are ready to be competing again or have we shifted into a new game I don't know about?" 11 Nov 13, 01:17 AM Giana Valerio: She pretends to look offended. "Not everything is a game Marcos" she scolds him playfully, then she smirks, "but in this case yes!" She wraps her arms around his waist and throws her weight against him, hoping to change his center of gravity and throw him off balance. 11 Nov 13, 01:26 AM Giana Valerio: She pretends to look offended. "Not everything is a game Marcos" she scolds him playfully, then she smirks, "but in this case yes!" She braces on his shoulders and shoves, throwing her body weight into him in an attempt to knock him over with her leverage. 11 Nov 13, 01:31 AM Marcos: takes in a quick breath as she comes at him and lets himself go over into the water, grabbing her around the waist so she has to come to the bottom of the pool as well, then holding her waist, shoves her up so he slipes out between her legs and escapes, surfacing first 11 Nov 13, 01:36 AM Giana Valerio: So many directions at once is disorienting, and as soon as she surfaces, she takes a deep breath, and narrows her eyes at him playfully. "That's cheating! I'm not sure how, but that's cheating!" 11 Nov 13, 01:58 AM Marcos: Laughs. "Can't be cheating, we said everything goes as long as clothes stay on." Dives, grabs her legs and pulls her under, touches her in the middle of her forehead then dives away surfacing ten feet away. 11 Nov 13, 02:01 AM Giana Valerio: She resurfaces after he dunks her, spluttering for a moment before she dives after him, kicking off and taking off toward him. Surfacing behind him, she climbs onto his back, pushing down with both hands on his shoulders and leaning forward. "I think" she takes a deep breath, "we're going to end up drowning each other," 11 Nov 13, 02:04 AM Marcos: Gets several deep breathes before she catches up, is thinking about what to do to get her when she speaks and he stops short of falling over backwards, putting his hands up to hold her steady for a moment without realizing where he puts his hands on her upper legs. "Um, good point. We need a way to compete where we don't risk each other's breathing habits." tempted for some reason to pretend he's walking a catwalk with the most amazing hat on, but stops himself. "Um. Hmm. Any ideas before I fall over backwards?" 11 Nov 13, 02:10 AM Giana Valerio: She nods, even though she can't see him, when he mentions falling over backwards, she lowers herself and wraps both arms and legs around his neck. "Oh no you don't, I've had my share of pool chemicals for the night." She glances around, realizing they're some if the last ones left. "Marco...everyone's...gone." 11 Nov 13, 02:14 AM Marcos: Laughs, then stops as she speaks and looks around, turning his body cause he can't see otherwise. "Oh weird. How did we miss that?" Knows why he did because she is distracting as heck! " I guess Nadya left too. IWell then, what do you want to do? get dressed and head back to school or go find her?" 11 Nov 13, 02:17 AM Marcos: (( -sighs- Change the / for " )) 11 Nov 13, 02:18 AM Giana Valerio: She bites her lip and seems to consider, "I really don't think we'd want to find her at this hour Marco." She's still holding onto him, but not as tightly. She props her chin on his shoulder. "Maybe we should start back?" 11 Nov 13, 02:22 AM 11 Nov 13, 02:26 AM Marcos: Slight thrill at her comfort with hi but tries not to show it. "Good point. Okay, we probably ought to then. Here, I'll make it easy." Walks through the water over there and turns so she can simply sit back on the side of the pool. "There you are, M'lady," turns and bows before putting his hands on the side and lifting himself out as well, handing over her shirt and getting his stuff before doing a dry spell on himself from head to toe and sitting in one of the chairs to get dressed. 11 Nov 13, 02:32 AM Giana Valerio: She nods, giggling as she leans back and works her way onto the pool's edge. Casting her own drying spell on both herself and her clothes, she pulls her hair back into a loose rather messy looking style and sticks her wand through it, keeping it in place. "No idea why it works" she admits, "someone figured it out years ago and now it gets passed down." She straightens her dress and stands. 11 Nov 13, 02:37 AM Marcos: Dressed, shoes on, stands and looks. "Here, let me see from the back." looks at the knot and nods, lips in an appreciative note. "Interesting, never heard of a knot being passed down. I only know one interesting story about passed down stuff and as far as I know it was only one of my mom's friends it happened too." Motions for her to lead the way and they start to exit the very quiet place, him wondering if Nadya is passed out drunk in a room or with a guy in a room which bothers him. 11 Nov 13, 02:41 AM Giana Valerio: She takes a step, then pauses, looking back at his face, she frowns and reaches down, taking his hand, she sighs. "She'll be all right, Marco, I have to believe she'll be all right." Because otherwise she'd go crazy. 11 Nov 13, 02:44 AM Marcos: reaslizing he is being too obvious, tries to hide his face. "Sorry, I can't help it Gia. In my culture if someone messes up, they are responsible for the fallout. And if it's a guy who messes up he has to fix it." Doesn't resist the hand but isn't thinking romance right now in the slightest as she leads him. "It's not something I can stop my head from doing, thinking about. I know you all weren't raised the same, but even if it's not really true, I still feel the responsibiltity on my shoulders." -sighs- 11 Nov 13, 02:46 AM Giana Valerio: She nods, choosing wisely not to argue for once. "I know" she says simply, and squeezes his hand gently as they continue on. "I've said everything I can say, she's my sister and I love her, but if you're responsible then so am I, so is Luca, so are several other people who could have done one or two things differently and completely changed the course of things." She frowns at him, but doesn't let go. "So if you need to be guilty, be guilty. I'll be guilty too." 11 Nov 13, 02:50 AM Marcos: Frowns, but more at himself then at her. "We'll be guilty together. All right," blows air out of his cheeks but it's clear he does care what happens, but he shrugs for the moment and picks up his pace to walk beside her. "Sorry. I've got it worse then my brothers I think. I'll get there." Someday "How's classes going?" Trying to find something distracting to think about 11 Nov 13, 02:51 AM Giana Valerio: She nods, but shakes her head when he tries to make small talk. "Thanks, but I don't have enough social grace to pretend you're not a million miles away right now." 11 Nov 13, 02:53 AM Marcos: Chuckles out loud, gives her hand a squeeze slightly to say thanks for that. "No social grace needed, but a swift verbal kick in the tush works well enough for now. " Clears throat "Okay, so possible ways we can compete, any ideas?" turns his steps to the school as they clear the place 11 Nov 13, 02:55 AM Giana Valerio: She gives him a mischievous smile. "Do you play wizard's chess?" 11 Nov 13, 02:57 AM Marcos: shakes a finger of his free hand as if warning her "Oh no you don't, I bet you mastered it already and I barely play!" laughs "I can never think more then one move ahead in that one so many possibilities. DO you play cards?" 11 Nov 13, 03:00 AM Giana Valerio: She nods, "exploding snap" she smiles a little shyly, "and I'm pretty good at muggle poker. Nadya found a deck of cards in a hotel room a couple summers ago. I checked out a book from the library and we taught ourselves to play." She'd also taught herself to count cards, but wasn't going to tell him that. 11 Nov 13, 03:03 AM Marcos: Glances at her as they walk, glad she has forgotten about her hand holding his "Poker? Oh my, you'll have to show me some tricks you learned. I was thinking cards are really easy to carry around in a pocket and there are tons of games with them. We could try a different game each time and takes turns deciding." A glance at her and he didn't mention how he knew how to double deal. "I figure that way if we keep changing the game neither one of us can have an unfair advantage for long and then it's a real competition." 11 Nov 13, 03:05 AM Giana Valerio: She smiles, looking pleased with this idea. "What happens when we run out of card games?" she asked softly. 11 Nov 13, 03:08 AM Marcos: "Hmm." thinks for a second, appreciating how quick she is to find the issues "Well let's see, we can go back through the ones we know and add a random card as the wild card in each game I guess, that will make it more challenging with some. And then there is always war" shrugs" kind of hard to not have that one go random" Glances at her as they walk "How's that sound? Any other issues?" 11 Nov 13, 01:09 PM Giana Valerio: She nods, smiling cheekily up at him. "I'm sure I can think of a few, but you'll have to let me sleep on it" she murmurs as they reach the castle doors. She glances up as though realizing they're locked out. "Um...I d-didn't really think this part through." 11 Nov 13, 03:41 PM [×] Marcos: "Deal" he said and smiled when she hesitated in front of the doors. "That's okay, we have a family method we use so no worries. Come on this way." Leading the way around the base of the school building, he asked "So you probably never get in trouble I'm sure, but we have several in our family who seem to be attracted to it. I, uh, might have been out on multiple ocasions." [/b]

Marcos: Chooses a seat in a compartment with three ravenclaws, all quietly reading and ignoring everything else. Only one of them glances his way as he sits down with seat on either side of him. SLiding his trunk on the rack he sits down and shakes his head amused.
1 Dec 13, 10:20 PM
Giana: She's been looking for him since she stepped on the train. Nadya was still keeping her distance, and for once that was fine with Gia. She had other priorities right now. Her trunk was stowed, all but a book clutched tightly as though precious, which if one were to look closely resembled a journal. She found him surrounded by Ravenclaws, and slid the door open gently. "Marcos, I...need to talk to you."
1 Dec 13, 10:24 PM
Marcos: Marcos looks up, smiles as soon as he sees her. "Sure Gina, here, take a seat." he pats the seat next to him With eight seats in the compartment, it meant they were near the door. Eyes fall to the book and he hesitates, but smiles again and nods at her, letting her know it's all right
1 Dec 13, 10:36 PM
Giana: She sat next to him, placed the book carefully in her lap, and met his eyes. Its obvious from the look of the journal that its more worn than it was when he gave it to her, and that certain pages have been read more than others by the creases. "I...read what you wrote...about Nadya" best, she thought, to get the bad out of the way first.
1 Dec 13, 10:44 PM
Marcos: Nods. "I had forgotten all that was in there til li passed it on to you. I...uh...hope it didn't--" Gah. "Um. Yeah. I'm sorry i forgot to rip that out..."
1 Dec 13, 10:47 PM
Giana: She bit her lip and nodded. "I'm kind of glad." She laid a hand over his, curling her fingers around. "Why didn't you tell me she...I didn't know..." Nadya hadn't told her Marco had tried to get back together, just that it had been nothing serious and hadn't worked.
1 Dec 13, 10:56 PM
Marcos: Nods again, it was probably better this way. "Ah well, it's done." Looks concerned for a moment at the book trying to remember if there was anything else like that in there.; he thought he had remembered most of the bad stuff. "What could I have told you, Gia? You weren't going to listen to me over her back then would you?"
1 Dec 13, 11:01 PM
Giana: She looks as though she wants to argue, but she's too reasonable to try it. "I..." she looks a bit guilty, "no, you're right I wouldn't have." She hadn't thought Nadya was capable of something like that. "I just..." She glances around the compartment. "I'm so sorry" she lowers her voice. "I wish I had known."
1 Dec 13, 11:09 PM
Marcos: Grins, seeing her guilty look. Draws an invisible one on an invisible scoreboard. "It's okay, I understand. Siblings are blind spots for everyone. I don't blame you." He listened to her speak and shook his head, glancing away just a moment. "It's...Well, it's not okay I know. It...It took me awhile. I'm still in some shock I guess. Thanks." Looks back at her. "Did you read any of the actual stories?" he teased slightly, the point of him giving her the books
1 Dec 13, 11:09 PM
Marcos: *book
1 Dec 13, 11:10 PM
Giana: She was grateful for the subject change, and grasped it, though she blushed. "Y-yes" she murmured. "Your characters s-seem very...familiar somehow." It was the closest she was going to come to outright saying she'd understood his purpose.
1 Dec 13, 11:13 PM
Marcos: Looks up, curious what she thought. Saw the blush, heard her answer, then blushed himself. "Ahhh, Um, I was ac-ctually thinking about the earlier ones. I" he couldn't lie, but they hadn't been written for her to read. "Um what I mean is I didn't write them thinking you would ever read them. So it wasn't like a plan or anything...""
1 Dec 13, 11:26 PM
Giana: She seemed confused by this for a moment, off-balanced, and maybe slightly embarrassed, but she managed to respond. "O-oh....I s-see." She blushed darker. "Th-they w-w-were good a-anyway. I r-r-really liked them." How silly of her to think he might be interested in...she continued berating herself in silence.
1 Dec 13, 11:34 PM
Marcos: Sees her reaction, reaches over and catches her hand before she can pull away. "Gia, look at me. Seriously." catches her eyes. "I was writing most of the second half about you. The ones before..." swallows "N-nadya." swallows. "Those were just mine. But I couldn't stop from writing about -- Well, you." Watches her blush and hopes she is listening.
1 Dec 13, 11:37 PM
Giana: So the first half of his journal had been about her sister, and the second half was about her....how screwed up was she to be jealous of her sister, and angry at her for hurting the boy in front of her. She's still embarrassed, still blushing, but she nods. "I...I g-get it" she says softly, seeming to have difficulty organizing her thoughts now. She'd been focused on confronting him, she hadn't thought through what would happen when she did.
1 Dec 13, 11:41 PM
Marcos: Okay, so she understood, whew. "I... I had forgotten that book had those later stories. I have a few older ones and I thought I had written in them last. Sorry. I wasn't try to embarass anyone." blushing more. "I realized about a week into break. I'm slow sometimes."
1 Dec 13, 11:50 PM
Giana: She takes a deep breath, seems to steady herself. "It...happens" she takes another breath. "how was y-your C-Christmas?"
1 Dec 13, 11:56 PM
Marcos: hasn't taken his hand yet and slowly moves it off to his leg near hers but not touching so she won't feel forced to think about that "It was okay. We mostly got into trouble in and around home. I didn't feel like going anywher emuch. How about you?"
1 Dec 13, 11:57 PM
Giana: She sighs, "Nadya's still not talking to me much. I'm pretty sure she tried to avoid me over Christmas. She spent a lot of time with Uncle Seth and Aunt Makenna"
2 Dec 13, 12:04 AM
Marcos: Gives her a look. "Not talking? That's new." Suspects he knows why and feels guilty about that. "Oh. Well sorry about that, I'm probably at fault for that."
2 Dec 13, 12:05 AM
Giana: She tilts her head, looking confused. "How could that be your fault?"
2 Dec 13, 12:08 AM
Marcos: Frowns, still blushed in the cheeks. "Um. About a month afterwards I had a talk with her about you. She, uh, might be giving you the avoidance cause she doesn't know what to say."
2 Dec 13, 12:09 AM
Giana: She frowns at him, looking even more confused now. "A talk about me? What about me?" She seems at a loss. "Did I do something?"
2 Dec 13, 12:14 AM
Marcos: Swallows big. "Well uh...um don't get mad at me, but you are her sister and after al lthat happened between her and me, I kinda. " glances away, frustrated. "I um though it wasn't right for me to show any interest in you without asking her first. I knew she would be pissed off if I did. So I asked her and we had a long discussion. """
2 Dec 13, 12:21 AM
Giana: Her eyes widen to the point of almost comical. "You...you're interested i-in...y-you t-t-told..." She freezes up, as though this information doesn't process.
2 Dec 13, 12:28 AM
Marcos: "I'm not after you, Gia, don't panic. I just like you. A lot. " -pulls his hand back and crosses his arms feeling like an idiot. "I...Just wanted to be free and clear with her if you ever felt interested. I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable or anything, okay?" Sighs, feeling less embarassed and more confused as he looks back at her.
2 Dec 13, 12:30 AM
Giana: She can barely hear him over the pounding in her ears. "I...you...o-o-okay." She stops talking, takes a deep breath. "Th-that's good...that you guys...talked." Its really all she can think to say. "I...u-uncomfortable isn't what I'd c-c-call it."
2 Dec 13, 12:35 AM
Marcos: "Sorry Gia. I didn't want to lie to you. I was just not going to tell you and wait to see if anything happened. It's not right for me to -- ah hel--" Looks frustrated with himself and lowers his voice looking to make sure the Ravies are still clueless. "I'm sorry I brought it up. My mistake."
2 Dec 13, 12:41 AM
Giana: She's blushing profusely, and looks to almost be talking to herself, when he speaks it seems to startle her. "I...no I..." she stops again, "I j-just...I never s-saw this coming."
2 Dec 13, 12:43 AM
Marcos: Nods having already guessed that part. "I... Well i kind of guessed that actually." Chuckles slightly and gives her a smeil. "I suspect that was why she made you go to all those parties, trying to make you pay attention to people around."
2 Dec 13, 12:57 AM
Giana: She thought back to the parties, to the times with him at the pool and the beach. "I...guess it should have been obvious..." But it hadn't occurred to her in a million years. "I just...n-never thought..."
2 Dec 13, 01:01 AM
Marcos: Smiles softly. "Oh I doubt she was bringing you there for me, she just wanted you to see how others acted, but I didn't mind the attention at all, trust me." Doesn't think there was anything in a million years he could have done any different that would have worked better. "Besides, you got her back a few times and I did manage to teach you how to get inside the school so it had it's good points."
2 Dec 13, 01:06 AM
Giana: She nods, seeming more relaxed. "It was fun" she agreed, "and I was glad you were around when things got..." She sighed, "crazy." It had made her feel safe, she realized, though she wasn't quite sure what to do with the realization
2 Dec 13, 01:10 AM
Marcos: Feels better. "Oh well I was glad I was there. I don't end up enjoying them usually much, but you made it enjoyable. I mostly go to keep tabs on all the happenings and who is causing issues." And Nadya he didn't say, but it was in the past anyway.
2 Dec 13, 01:12 AM
Giana: She smiled, blushing again, but softer this time. "It...was an a-adventure" she agrees. "B-but I'm g-glad to be back where there are books and no alcohol."
2 Dec 13, 01:14 AM
Marcos: Laughs, then quietens when one of the girls looks up with a waved hand saying "Sorry!" to Gia "You and your book addiction, yes have to keep feeding it. To you inhale the muggle libraries while you are on break?" teasingly
2 Dec 13, 01:25 AM
Giana: She laughs, "its not an addiction, I just really enjoy..." She smiles cheekily at him, "how exactly would one inhale a library Marco?"
2 Dec 13, 01:28 AM
Marcos: Glad the conversation is comfortable again. "Oh I am sure you read fast, so speed reading ravies with access to another library?" he said teasingly "I'm sure you would read your way through the stacks pretty fast, right?"
2 Dec 13, 01:32 AM
Giana: She smiled, "maybe, and I do like the smell of old books." It was something quirky she did whenever she came into contact with a new one.
2 Dec 13, 01:35 AM
Marcos: gives her a look with an eyebrow raised. "hang on now, are you saying you like going around smelling books? " Looks as if he thinks that is a bit odd. "Like, they have different smells beyond mold and dust?"
2 Dec 13, 01:42 AM
Giana: She nods, "of course, depending on the age, where they are, where they've been, books are like people. All different shapes, sizes and smells." She smiles, "and you can't always judge them by their covers."
2 Dec 13, 01:45 AM
Marcos: Started with a questioning look, but goes to smile as she finishes. "Ah, I like the sound of that. I've been judged a lot and I've made plenty of mistakes judging others before, but I'm trying not to any more." He frowned briefly then pushed it away to smile at her. "After all, the best gems are hidden in the ground well enough."
2 Dec 13, 01:47 AM
Giana: She smiled cheekily at him, "so are you a gem or a book?"
2 Dec 13, 01:50 AM
Marcos: ponders answer for a moment, thinking about it. "Hmm, I'm going to guess a gem, but not a diamond. Those are all suspect anyway. I'd like to think I'm one of those really unique sapphires like out in the southwest that are hard to find, and highly desired." grins sheepishly and laughs at his answer. "Or at least I'd like to think so. How about you?"
2 Dec 13, 01:59 AM
Giana: She grins, "Sounds interesting" At his question, she doesn't hesitate, "a book of course, one of those really thick ones with lots of facts, maybe an encyclopedia of travel destinations."
2 Dec 13, 02:01 AM
Marcos: Nods "I'd like to be interesting, sounds like a good thing to me!" grins back. "An encyclodpedia huh? Maybe you should become a travel agent instead of a publisher..."
2 Dec 13, 02:12 AM
Giana: She smiles, "or maybe I could write for a travel magazine" she points out. "Do both"
2 Dec 13, 02:13 AM
Marcos: Looks interested. "Oh say! Nice idea. You'd have to travel a lot before you could begin one, nice plan."
2 Dec 13, 02:22 AM
Giana: She nodded, "I have them sometimes" she seems much more relaxed. "Have you given any more thought to what you want to do?"
2 Dec 13, 02:24 AM
Marcos: Looking off to the side he seems to be debating on something. "Um well, I did have a kind of idea. It's not....firm yet, it's been more teasing me." Swallows, then glances over towards her hesitantly. "I think it would be rather...important to be one of the explorers out in South America or something like that making a study on new creatures and plants or such. It's just a...idea."
2 Dec 13, 02:32 AM
Giana: "Like a wildlife biologist?" She wasn't sure she had that right, but it was something like that. "Oh, that reminds me. I read something...kind of strange....at the start of your joujnal."
2 Dec 13, 02:33 AM
Marcos: Shrugs "I hadn't really narrowed the idea that far yet it just ...seems interesting." Listens to her words and gives her a sharper glance before glancing at the readers "What do you mean Gia?"
2 Dec 13, 02:39 AM
Giana: She catches the glance, is confused by it. "I...you seem really interested in tigers is all" she says softly, almost hesitantly. "I wondered about that."
2 Dec 13, 02:43 AM
Marcos: Sees she hasn't quite figured it out yet and feels slightly more relaxed. "Ah yeah that. White Siberian tigers just looks really cool. We always tease each other that when we can cast our patronuses eventually we'll all be cats. I just think those are really amazing..."
2 Dec 13, 02:47 AM
Giana: She gives him a look as though something about what he's saying feels off, but she can't put her finger on it, so she lets it pass. "Oh, okay, I...guess that makes sense" though she doesn't sound convinced. She hands the journal back to him. "I think this is safer with you."
2 Dec 13, 02:51 AM
Marcos: Gives her a half smile. "When more happens, I promise, Gia, I'll tell you, okay?" Sweating a touch at the thought of how close that had been. "Oh I trust you with it, but sure, I can take it back." touches her hand as he takes it back, looking her in the eyes.
2 Dec 13, 02:54 AM
Giana: She nods, "okay" Her doubts forgotten for now. She hands it back to him, flushing when his fingers brush hers as a warmth spreads over her skin. "You can give it back when you write more to your stories" she tells him. "I really liked those." The look in his eyes seems to be telling her something she can't quite grasp. "I liked them a lot."
2 Dec 13, 02:57 AM
Marcos: Likes the way she trusts him easily. "Cool." Smiles grows slightly at her flush, then looks surprised. "Oh, yeah good point." He hadn't expeccted that. " You really did?" Flushes a tad, knowing she just admitted she liked him writing to her that way. "I'll make a point of hopping on that soon then. I wouldn't want to keep you waiting."
2 Dec 13, 03:04 AM
Giana: She smiles, blushing again. "I c-can wait" she murmurs. She's got to figure out how she feels about everything she's learned today anyway."I really did."
2 Dec 13, 03:06 AM
Marcos: Grins back. "Mama raised me to be a total gentleman, Gia, and a gentleman does not let a true lady wait when she wants something from him." Winks and brushes her hair aside for a second back over her ear "At least I know if I ever need a publisher I'll be in the best of hands with you." Wonders how to approach the subject of a favor from her....
2 Dec 13, 03:09 AM
Giana: She smiles, caught up in this private moment between them she incidentally seems to forget there are others in the room. Her ear tingles as his fingers brush her skin again. She smiles shyly up at him, but doesn't pull away, though she looks uncertain. "O-of course" she manages, less from nerves than a feeling of being off-balanced.
2 Dec 13, 03:12 AM
Marcos: Smiles gently "See? With you supporting me I am a sure thing. Thanks Gia, you know how to make me feel better." Wonders how to put it in words. "Did you like the part about the kitten? I actually did that when I was much younger..."
2 Dec 13, 03:16 AM
Giana: Her eyes widened, then went soft, "rescued one you mean?" She feels herself softening toward him, isn't quite sure what it means or what to do about it. \
2 Dec 13, 03:19 AM
Marcos: Nods. "Rescued a little muggle girl's cat near our house and bundled it in my shirt and got her to carry it back to my mom who could manage a little hidden healing she didn't see, then sent her home with the little thing." Laughs softly remembering. "I never wore that shirt again, mama didn't care fot all the blood on it, said she never felt it was completely gone even when you used magic. A good sacrifice, a shirt for a cat..."
2 Dec 13, 03:28 AM
Giana: There was, in that moment, a bit of awe and a healthy dose of admiration in the look she gave him. Dark eyes met his, "I think you're right" she agreed, "absolutely right." How could her sister have willingly missed out on a guy like this? Especially when he had loved her so much? Giana would never understand, but she knew one thing, she wanted the chance to rectify her sister's mistake, not for Nadya, but for herself, and for Marcos who she was beginning to realize deserved the chance to find his own happiness in the mess her sister had caused.
2 Dec 13, 03:34 AM
Marcos: Seeing the look in her eyes, the darkening to her eyes inparticular, he thought she was loosing her fear of being near him finally. "Do you have a pet? I can't remember if I've ever asked you before Gia." Stiill looking out for a chance to ask about a favor of a type.
2 Dec 13, 03:35 AM
Giana: She shakes her head no. "Always wanted one, but mum's not big on animals." She was still focused on his eyes, on the sound of his voice as she processed through her deeper thoughts.
2 Dec 13, 03:40 AM
Marcos: Decides to take the plunge, in slow steps cause this was after all Gia. "Oh. Hmm, well maybe if we get you a pet, we can...share him or her? I can keep them for the summers and the breaks and you during the year at school?" SMiles at her, feeling he's on the edge of something big. "What would you want can I ask?"
2 Dec 13, 03:44 AM
Giana: She gives that some thought, enchanted by the idea. "That would be great!" She looks excited, "A kitten" she says reflexively, then laughs. "No seriously, I've always wanted a cat."
2 Dec 13, 03:47 AM
Marcos: Laughs. "Maybe we can find one with tiger stripes, who knows?" He grinned. "Okay, maybe just before school starts? Like a couple of weeks maybe so I can teach them about litter boxes and all that?" Likes the excitement in her eyes. " That gives you an excuse to come check out how they are doing too at our house maybe..."
2 Dec 13, 03:53 AM
Giana: She laughs, "maybe so." She gives that some thought. "Sure, that sounds good." She bites her lip, "could we pick it out together, so we know its one we both like?" And then he mentioned checking up on it at his house and she nodded. "That would be great, wouldn't want it to forget me."
2 Dec 13, 04:00 AM
[×] Marcos: Face lights up, leans over and touches her under the chin gently "Of course, Gia! If he or she is going to be there for both of us we would have to switch them back and forth, we have to get them together. I wouldn't dream of getting him or her without you at my side!" A brief touch and then he removed his hand back to his leg as his smile continued with a slightly comical wink. "I doubt they would forget you, but it would be great help for you to come over to play for say a weekend or so with them?"
2 Dec 13, 12:19 PM
Giana: When he touches her chin she lifts it slightly, meeting his eyes again. She laughs softly at his enthusiasm, seeming amused by it, but she's also smiling. She hesitated when he mentioned visiting for the weekend. He had visited Nadya for a couple of weeks, and innocent or not she was fairly certain she knew where the two had disappeared to so often. "S-sure if m-my parents a-are okay with it." She wondered how long it would take before their conversations stopped bringing memories of him with her sister.
2 Dec 13, 12:25 PM
[×] Marcos: Notices the stutter and wonders why it's there suddenly again. "We don't get many visitors, I bet mom will be tickled. Of course, it means you have to see at least a few wrestling matches and I apologize for that." Frowns slightly, but not about her clearly "We're ah, very much brothers unchained at home. being on best behavior is going to be hard for them. Mama will probably be embarrassed by us. If you need to lock yourself in the guest room every once in awhile I won't be surprised." Wonders how a cat will react to him and then double takes wondering if he smells like a cat to animals
2 Dec 13, 12:29 PM
Giana: She smiles, "Luca and Nadya wrestle all the time" she informs him. "It won't be all that different from home." She grins, "Marco, I have two brothers and two sisters, I'll be okay, promise." Though if Madden did anything stupid she wouldn't have been above brewing something to put in his orange juice the next morning.
2 Dec 13, 12:32 PM
[×] Marcos: Looks relieved. "Oh yeah, true! I wasn't thinking ahead much sorry." Laughs, unexplainedly having the exact same thought gia just had. "If Madden gets out of line you just let me know, I know how to handle him. If nothing else I know how to lie down at your door so he has to crawl over me to get to your door. You'll sleep just fine."
2 Dec 13, 12:35 PM
Giana: She smirks, looking surprisingly like Nadya for a moment. "I don't think Madden will bother me, and if he does he won't do it twice." She doesn't say more than that, but she's clearly thinking something. The expression softens when he mentions sleeping in front of her door. "I can keep him out" she tells him.
2 Dec 13, 12:37 PM
[×] Marcos: thinks that maybe expressing their relationship somehow before the summer wil lbe important, but not sure how to say it. "heh, you did manage Nadya pretty awesome with the dress thing." Shrugs, as if to say he knows she can do whatever she wants to. "Oh I know, but it's my house and you would be a guest, therefore it's up to me to take care of problems. You shouldn't even have to. besides, you will be bonding with a kitten, that's more important."
2 Dec 13, 12:43 PM
Giana: She looks pleased he remembers that, and maybe just a bit pleased in general. She smiles softly, "thanks Marco, I'm sure everything will be fine, besides, maybe Madden will be off with that Summerby." By now it was pretty obvious to anyone with eyes the two were pretty close. She nods, "right, kitten bonding" She giggles, "maybe I can read to it."
2 Dec 13, 12:47 PM
[×] Marcos: Looks surprised and a bit iffy about the Madden comment. "I wonder...she does seem to be getting him to stay loyal but I find that hard to believe. Maybe she will straighten him out, I don't know..." He had a hard time seeing Madden as anything but a womanizer some days, but he was very single minded recently. "I'm sure you can! I think most cats just like the physical contact though. Voice is fine, but I think just giving a cat attention and playing with it is enough. Have to watch out for the claws though and" momentarily has an image of a tiger giving them and nearly laughs out loud "love bites." Grins broadly
2 Dec 13, 12:57 PM
Giana: She laughs, "so I'll pet it while I read to it" she amends. She tilts her head, giving him a strange look as though she understands something is going on in his mind she can't see. "I can take it I think, I"m tougher than I look."
2 Dec 13, 01:04 PM
[×] Marcos: Nods, blush begins to go back down. "Deal then. I've thought about getting a cat before, but there's so much noise in the dorm, I think it would be too much for one. They will be much happier on your side I think." Oh say, he could communicate with a cat... Marcos perked up a bit, he'd be able to talk about what it had seen about Gia's time away from him! marcos suddenly felt rather gang-ho about the whole idea. 'I can write you letters and send pictures of him or her during the summer too. I assume getting one from someone or looking at getting one from a pound is okay with you, right?" Did purebred come out any smarter? He doubted it. "I want to see if we can get a real smart one or cunning."
2 Dec 13, 01:08 PM
Giana: She nods, "but it won't have that problem in the Ravenclaw dorm" she points out. He got a strange look in his eye then, and she arched an eyebrow at him. She smiles, "I think getting a rescue would be great, I wonder if there's a shelter somewhere near King's Cross." It would be the easiest, after all for both of them to be present there. She tilts her head, "planning to teach it tricks?"
2 Dec 13, 01:12 PM
[×] Marcos: Nods at her having a much quieter dorm. "There must be one in the city somewhere. And that would be easier if your mom will allow the delay." grins and shakes his head giving her a silly look. "Oh come on Gia, who ever heard of a cat doing tricks? I just want a smart cat, it just would make more sense. They will have to adapt to two different households after all."
2 Dec 13, 01:20 PM
Giana: "I'm sure it'll be fine, she's usually got to wait for everyone anyway so a little longer shouldn't bother her." She smirks at him, "bet I could teach it to do tricks" there's a mischievous slightly competitive glint in her eye. "Not really" she reminds him, "he or she will be with you during the breaks, I'll just keep it during school, and you'll be around then anyway, right?"
2 Dec 13, 01:26 PM
[×] Marcos: "Maybe you should write her and ask about it? Say we're keeping on between us and can we go look first right after we return? We can leave Nadya and my brothers with her for a bit somewhere for lunch like and then go off with my Mama to get one possibly..." He was just brainstorming, but they did need to ask permission first. He laughed softly, seeing her challenging him. "Oh really? Are you offering a challenge? What's the prize for the winner and the punishment for the loser?" His eyes glinted as he knew he could probably have quite an advantage in a trick competition. "To a cat I suspect Hogwarts is just another home. And yeah I'll be around but it's not like I can come see him or her in your room."
2 Dec 13, 01:36 PM
Giana: She nods, "I can do that after the feast tonight." She laughs, "I think Nadya might scare Maddox" she points out. She nods, looking maybe slightly mischievous. Her expression turns thoughtful as she considers the consequences. "Hmm if I win...." She pauses, "you show me the rest of the ways you know into the castle" She looks pleased with this idea, then blushes lightly when he mentions her room. "Truth, but you can keep him or her sometimes too."
2 Dec 13, 01:42 PM
[×] Marcos: Grins at her. "So you are saying there can be no downside?" he laughed "Ah I'm sure your parents can keep them from getting in too much trouble." Sees the thinking and gets excited, wondering what she might pick; feels a touch disappointment at her choice but smiles anyway. It was Gia, what did he expect? "Done. And the loser has to serve the winner for an hour at their choice. Just you know, stuff they won't object to, but take care of the winner like a House Elf might kinda." There, she might be tempted even more into the game not knowing he had an ace up his sleeve. "Well not really. The boy's dorm is loud and rambunctious, I don't think the cat will like that much. But I don't think you can let me slip into your dorm anyway so we'll think of something eventually." He was sure he could think of a way, but it would be risky which caused him to feel excited.
2 Dec 13, 01:50 PM
Giana: She shakes her head smiling as she thinks of her parents keeping up with two-thirds of the Jimenez brothers. Her eyes widened, "like a..." She hesitated, but the ramifications of winning were now too high to be resisted. "Deal" She offered her hand.
2 Dec 13, 01:56 PM
[×] Marcos: he could see her amused about something but when her eyes opened wide and she half-spoke he felt vidincated by his choice of prize. "Exactly. I mean, it's a game and we're both good sports, right? I doubt either of us will do something the other really hates." Taking her hand he shook it saying "Deal" and then holding her hand up kissed the back of it as well, if briefly. "For one of the prettiest girls I know I will have to be distracting." he smiled at her as he set his hand, back down still lightly holding hers on his leg so she could remove it whenever she chose.
2 Dec 13, 02:12 PM
Giana: She nods, "right, good sports" The idea of having him to herself for an hour appealed for reasons she wasn't quite sure about. She blushed at his compliment and even more when he kissed her hand, but she doesn't jerk it away this time. Instead, when he rests their joined hands on his leg, she wraps her fingers around his hesitantly, gently as though not quite sure if she's doing it right. "As long as it won't get m-me into trouble I think we'll be f-fine."
2 Dec 13, 02:16 PM
[×] Marcos: He saw her blush, but this time it was for a different reason and one he delighted in causing! "Oh no, I won't get you into any trouble, I promise. I won't push too hard at all, Gia, not with you. Far too important to risk trouble for," he said giving her a pleasant smile and running his thumb across the back of her hand as she entwined her fingers in his to his great delight!
2 Dec 13, 02:20 PM
Giana: She smiled at him, "promise?" She murmured, she glanced around realizing all but one of the Ravenclaws in the other Ravens had left. She smiled softly, "they're not used to talking on the train I guess."
2 Dec 13, 02:25 PM
[×] Marcos: Was her questioning promise an invitation to risk some trouble or just a tease? He wasn't sure and hesitated before nodding and taking the chicken way out. "Oh I think you have to be the judge of what trouble is, Gia. I don't think you want to use my definition..." A glance around at his words and he turned back to her with a smile. "Well I for one think a quiet train is too quiet. There doesn't need to be shouting and running down the passageway, but all reading seems to me very dull. Soon we'll be in a place that we have too many restrictions on where we meet and all that after all"
2 Dec 13, 07:45 PM
Gia: She laughed, "I'm sure I don't", she agreed, nodding to his point about restrictions. "Some would call those safety precautions, " she teased
2 Dec 13, 07:47 PM
Marcos: Grinning he chuckled as well. "So we agree you are in charge and that safety precautions are needed on us," he winked. "So we only have a brief window to talk before we get seperated again in the school. SO what do you want to do?"
2 Dec 13, 08:23 PM
Gia V: She blushes and bit her lip, but then she grinned at him. "Read a book?" she teased.
2 Dec 13, 08:27 PM
Marcos: laughs. "You did that on purpose, silly one," he said rubbing her hand with his thumb again "but I doubt I could ever get really mad at you." sighs
2 Dec 13, 09:19 PM
Giana: She gave him an innocent look. "Did what?" She smiled at him, "I can't see getting mad at you either." She felt his touch ion the back of her knuckles and the sensation made her shiver. What in Merlin's name was going on?
2 Dec 13, 09:21 PM
Marcos: "Telling me we could read." he grinned. "Well good, I don't want you mad at me. So then what shall we do oh you who are in charge?"
2 Dec 13, 09:22 PM
Giana: "Not yet" she told him. "I left my Prefect badge in my trunk by accident" She shakes her head. "Ummm, maybe you could tell me why you're so interested in tigers?"
2 Dec 13, 09:25 PM
Marcos: Shook his head "Oh no, we just agreed you'd make the decisions. You don't need a badge with me, gia." Then she returned to tigers and he hesitated only a moment. "Um, well I'm not going to lie to you, Gia, there is something more then just us kidding each other about them, but it's not just my secret so i can't just tell it. Can we come back to that one in say, a month? I need to think how to explain it and get their approval to do so."
2 Dec 13, 09:29 PM
Giana: She gave him a look that said she thought so and that she wouldn't forget. "Sure, if you tell me who "they" is."
2 Dec 13, 09:30 PM
Marcos: Snorts. "My brothers. We share most things as a team, like famiily."
2 Dec 13, 09:33 PM
Giana: She made an amused sound. "Now I'm not sure I want to know" she teased lightly. "are they the ones who wrote all those comments in your journal?" She remembered the handwriting had been different in places.
2 Dec 13, 09:34 PM
Marcos: Rolling his eyes "Oh Merlin, Madden. He got ahold of it one day and I had to go back and refute about half of what he wrote on it, jerk." Jerk was said with humor though
2 Dec 13, 09:37 PM
Giana: She laughed, "I had a feeling it might have been him actually, and all the random fact stuff had to be Maddox then...right?"
2 Dec 13, 09:39 PM
Marcos: Nods, blushes slightly "He's hounded me over some other stuff too about it, but he has a wicked tongue about him. It was all Madden on that one." Shakes his head.
2 Dec 13, 09:40 PM
Giana: "Well, they do say the pen is mightier than the sword" she laughed. "Maybe I ought to tell him a few facts about tigers he might not know." Then again, she really didn't either, but she could read up on it, she was sure.
2 Dec 13, 09:42 PM
Marcos: Sudden furrowing of his brow. "Oh wait, no, that was me writing back at him cause he was being a pain. I like tigers, Maddox likes Lynx and such. Madden is a cougar fan, probably because they tend to have lots of multiple mates" he said rolling his eyes
2 Dec 13, 10:37 PM
Gia V: She nodded, listening intently. "So I need to read up on what tigers are like then?" She sounds amused, but there's a thoughtfulness in her expression.
2 Dec 13, 10:41 PM
Marcos: Blushing because he knew some things that Madden had been teasing him about for weeks and it hit him she was going to find some stuff out he wasn't sure he wanted her to know at this point. "Oh well, I can share what i have found out if it comes down to that..." he said, grinning embarassed. "But not everything in there fits of course"
2 Dec 13, 11:00 PM
Gia V: She nodded, "sure, and I'm sure the library will have--" She broke off mid sentence and laughed. "I guess I'll have to see."
2 Dec 13, 11:02 PM
Marcos: He gave her a glance at the same time he lightly squeezed her hand, noting the last ravie as she left leaving them alone, "Oh really? Whata are you going to do, read and then question me on different parts or just observe me and how I move to see what makes sense to you?" He grins, imagining what all she might see...
2 Dec 13, 11:26 PM
Gia V: She laughed, considering that. She already saw him a bit like an experiment. She shrugs, "I'll probably read up and then compare with what I see" she told him.
2 Dec 13, 11:28 PM
Marcos: Wonders if she will see things he might not and worries for a second how obvious it would be. he needed to take to Madden. 'Okay, works for me. What do I get for being the observation entertainment?" He lifted her hand without looking away and kissed the back of her hand again...
3 Dec 13, 12:03 AM
Gia V: She flushed, but managed to keep eye contact. 'Wh-what would y-you want?"
3 Dec 13, 12:06 AM
Marcos: Seeing her flush he said quite softly "maybe somethig offical I can tell people? Say..." held his breath " that we're dating? And that you try and make it look that way, not avoid touch too much? I promise I won't take advantage of it, just would be nice, you know when people ask?"
3 Dec 13, 12:15 AM
Gia V: ((Omg omg omg)) She flushed dark and froze. "D-d-dating?" A myriad of emotions played across her face. "Y-you and m-m-me?"
3 Dec 13, 12:17 AM
Marcos: Hastily "Um it was just athought, no rush! Ah, I can think of something else if you need me too! I just thought..." Hesitates, wondering why this got to her so quickly after everything else " I thought it would explain us hanging out a lot and well, keep anyone from wondering."
3 Dec 13, 01:25 AM
Giana: She was still frozen, gears turning. "I...." She closed her mouth, took a deep breath and started again. "I d-didn't mean it was a b-bad idea I j-just..." It made sense, and Gia liked it when things made sense after all. People would ask, she knew, when they started to notice the two of them together, and this way would be less complicated. "Y-you just s-surprised me th-that's all."
3 Dec 13, 01:29 AM
Marcos: Watching her, he held his breath listening till she said it wasn't bad. "Really?" he hesitated everytime she did some bad reaction, worried he had over stepped himself. He breathed again, relief in his face. He had to get a grip on this! "Sorry, though I thought surprises were supposed to be good. You should expect them from me..."
3 Dec 13, 01:32 AM
Giana: He seemed surprised, and in spite of herself she laughed. She felt oddly good, and she wondered suddenly if this was what Nadya meant when she talked about having power over boys. It felt good to be able to affect him this way. Gia bit her lip, she normally didn't like surprises, but she found herself thinking that maybe surprises from him wouldn't be too bad. "S-so...w-we're...d-dating?"
3 Dec 13, 01:33 AM
Marcos: Begins to hold his breath again, suddenly aware not everything was set. "if you like that, yes. I know I would..." considers the fact he still has her hand a good sign-
3 Dec 13, 01:38 AM
Giana: She takes another deep breath, and her hand, which had relaxed in his, tightened its grip again. "W-we are dating....we're dating" she repeats it twice to be sure she's not dreaming, but falls short of actually pinching herself.
3 Dec 13, 01:40 AM
Marcos: lets all his ari out at once and gives her the biggest grin ever, giving her a hand a squeeze back "Awesome! Dating! That's great to hear-- Hey wait, I have to be on my best behavior now, maybe I shouldn't be so happy about that part..." winks
3 Dec 13, 01:41 AM
Giana: She relaxes a bit, bolstered by his enthusiasm. She laughs, shaking her head at him. "I don't think you could be on your best behavior very long anyway if it helps." She smiles cheekily at him, though she's still trying to wrap her head around what's just happened.
3 Dec 13, 01:44 AM
Marcos: laughs "Oh I know, but I will try." just smiles at her, so relieved to feel like he is really making progress. "THis is great, Gia, I wil do my best to make sure you don't regret it." Still grinning like an idiot
3 Dec 13, 01:50 AM
Giana: She nodded, and then her expression turned somewhat serious. "And I p-promise to try not to..." she tries to remember the way he worded it. "Avoid touch?" Her smile softened, took on an almost dreamy quality. "I don't think that's possible."
3 Dec 13, 01:53 AM
Marcos: glances around to make sure he didn't miss anyone and sits up more, lets go of her hand and puts it around her shoulders, carefully but with a beaming face. "Ah that's a nice thing to hear you say. IAnytime you need me to stop just tell me, okay? Seriously, I don't want to rush you, Giana, I really don't."
3 Dec 13, 02:02 AM
Giana: She nods, smiling back. "Believe me, if you do something I don't like, I'll tell you, Marco, I promise" She grins, "I'm not easily rushed."
3 Dec 13, 02:06 AM
Marcos: Nods "good" then laughs at her words, holding up the journal for a sample "No, that is true, but at least I got through some even if by accident."
3 Dec 13, 02:13 AM
Gia V: She looks slightly confused. "Got through" she repeats softly. "What do you mean?"
3 Dec 13, 02:16 AM
Marcos: Nods, suspecting she needed to hear it from him at least. "Well, after Nadya gave me permission I tried to be open as possible and it felt like forever that i hoped you might see me as someone worth more then just as a friend. ." He glanced down at the floor as he remembered the weeks passing. "When I made the mistake of forgetting what was in here which was written during a lot of that time, you seem to have gotten the idea I was interested. That's what i meant."
3 Dec 13, 02:26 AM
Giana: She wonders then, exactly how long ago that was. "Was I really that oblivious?" She'd always considered herself a fairly observant person after all. He'd been pursuing her for weeks? Where had she been? She nodded, "I got an idea" which could barely be called a vague impression, but she wasn't going to admit that.
3 Dec 13, 02:29 AM
Marcos: Gives her a look. "According to Nadya yeah, she was taking you to parties to try and shock you awake I think. I don't think the word is bad though. You just weren't thinking about romance that way i guess."
3 Dec 13, 02:33 AM
Giana: She thinks over this. "Have you talked to her? Nadya I mean?" The question sounds less jealous and more hopeful, as though she thinks he might know something she doesn't about why her sister has been acting so differently. "I...no I guess I really don't."
3 Dec 13, 02:35 AM
Marcos: Shrugs, letting his arm relax around her shoulders since she isn't pulling away. "Last month yes, she hasn't been talking to me since." Frowns then adds hesitantly. "I think me asking her about you added to that, sorry."
3 Dec 13, 02:38 AM
Giana: She pauses, thinking. "A month ago?" Nadya had started distancing herself around then, though she'd clearly been trying to push Gia toward Marco. "That's when she...or at least around when she started going quiet on me." She's thinking hard, "Maybe she.." Was she trying to distance herself so Gia wouldn't feel as guilty about her feelings for Marco, or Marco about pursuing Gia? Her head was starting to hurt.
3 Dec 13, 02:41 AM
Marcos: Nods as she repeats the time. " Yeah, I didn't think about it til later, but she had already dumped me and was avoiding me a lot then. I couldn't really tell you though without..." Well yeah, she was smart enough to guess that part easily enough. "Sorry Gia, but I think she has shut both of us out. I don't know what to do about that though, although I've been thinking about ways."
3 Dec 13, 02:47 AM
Giana: She didn't think breaking up with Marco would solve the problem, and besides that , she didn't want to. "It isn't your fault" Not really anyway. Nadya had been acting strangely long before Marco came to visit over the summer. "We talked a bit over Christmas, but not about anything important. She asked me how you were, but I didn't understand why until just now."
3 Dec 13, 02:51 AM
Marcos: Sighs, knowing on some level he was at fault, but wasn't going to bring it up again. "Yeah, she said she wasn't going to stand in my way, but I had to convince her I wasn't just making stuff up or trying to pull something." frowns "I know why she was concerned, but she knows I can't lie to her, She should know me by now."
3 Dec 13, 02:52 AM
Giana: "She does" Gia murmured softly, looking slightly stricken. "I think she knew you were going to the parties to keep tabs on her, I think that's why she kept insisting I go too." She looks as if there are several pieces sliding together at once. "She was doing it to help you I think."
3 Dec 13, 02:55 AM
Marcos: -looks surprised as realization sinks in "She-- Oh." Shows pain in his eyes "d@mn it, Nadya, why couldn't you just say that..." Glances at Gia. "it makes sense. Too much sense."
3 Dec 13, 03:03 AM
Giana: Gia sighs, a pang in her chest and she lays her head on his shoulder, frowning. "She wouldn't have wanted either of us to know, Marco, she probably enjoyed manipulating things behind the scenes. She always has."
3 Dec 13, 03:13 AM
Marcos: Sighs out as she does put her head on his shoulder, something he should be delighting in. "Yeah, I can see that. Somehow I don't think she is enjoying it though. Not this time."
3 Dec 13, 03:18 AM
Giana: She frowns deeper, closing her eyes. "No, but I think somewhere in her rationale she thinks she's doing the right thing." Rather than make her sad, this gave her an odd sort of hope. "Maybe she's still in there somewhere after all."
3 Dec 13, 03:22 AM
Marcos: listens and likes the idea of putting hope in her idea. " Yeah, that sounds good. Hope is good. How do we get her to come out though again?"
3 Dec 13, 03:26 AM
Giana: She pauses over that. "I'm not sure" the whole thing had a feel of trying to tie things neatly up. By pairing Gia with Marco, Nadya might feel she'd sufficiently apologized for her choices regarding them both to her own detriment. Gia wasn't sure, and couldn't be without talking to her sister. "I'm not sure, she's changed so much so fast."
3 Dec 13, 03:32 AM
[×] Marcos: Frowns. "Well that is for sure, but so have we." Slips his other hand down to hers again, his other arm still around her shoulders. "At least we have each other to work it out and then we can work together to help get her back."

10 Dec 13, 02:55 AM Giana Valerio: The girl rolled her eyes, "go figure" she mumbled as they left. Gia smirked, unable to help walking a bit taller as they left. She leaned into Marco, enjoying the moment. "I'm sure she will be, love. Her brothers will probably be on her in the morning about being more careful." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "You're such a knight sometimes" it was equal parts joke and compliment. 10 Dec 13, 02:58 AM Marcos: Another thrill at the word 'love' from her. Stops in the hallway and catches her arm, shows her the goosebumps on his arm. "See? See what you do to me when you say that?" Grins and picks her up around the middle and swings her around once and then kisses her on the cheek. "Thank you, 'love,' that was reward enough! I think I need a handkerchief or something from you though." 10 Dec 13, 03:04 AM Giana Valerio: She giggles when he spins her around. "Marco! Marco its the middle of the night!" She whispers, but she's still giggling. She flushes when he kisses her cheek. "I don't own a handkerchief" she points out, but then she seems to think about it. "Wait" she unwinds the scarf from around her neck. "Will this work? I"ve had it since first year, Nadya made it for me for Christmas." www.nurico.com/images/knittingepiphany/blue_scarf1.jpg10 Dec 13, 03:07 AM Marcos: removes his own and puts it around her neck flushed in the face. "Yes! Now I can be a knight for the lady who desrves it the most." Takes her hand as they head upstairs more quietly "Besides I need to make sure even girls in other dorms know I'm taken." 10 Dec 13, 03:09 AM Giana Valerio: She grins, blushing lightly in the semi-darkness. "Well, the fact my name's monogrammed on that one should do it" she points out. She smiles when he wraps his scarf around her neck. "There, that works." 10 Dec 13, 03:12 AM Marcos: "Really?" looks and smiles more. "That. is. awesome." Grins at her in delight as they get upstairs and he sees her to her dorm door. "I can not tell you how much this night means, Gia. You need anything you tell me, that means any questions too you hear?" Giana Valerio: As they reached the entrance to Ravenclaw tower, she turned. "I promise" she murmured softly. Wrapping her arms around him, she hugs him tightly. "Keep an eye out for Nadya on your way okay? Apparently she's not in the Snakes' dorm." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. "See you in the morning, Marco." Marcos: Hugs back "I'll keep an eye open." And on the spur of the moment. "Breakfast maybe? I can come sit at your table if you want..." 10 Dec 13, 03:18 AM Giana Valerio: She hesitates, then nods. "Sure, breakfast" she answers, "we can do that." She releases him, and turns to the knocker. "Where do vanished objects go?" came the voice. "Into non-being" Gia replied, "which is to say, everything." She turned back to smile at Marcos. "Sweet dreams, Marco" And then she disappeared down the passage. 10 Dec 13, 03:19 AM Marcos: -nearly floats his way back to the dorm, but manages to get back safe enough and runs to the dorm to talk to Madden- 10 Dec 13, 03:20 AM |

10 Dec 13, 02:56 PM
Marcos: Marcos, blue scarf tucked neatly in the front of his coat so her name shows, stood up from breakfast with pockets full of food for later as well.
10 Dec 13, 03:14 PM
Gia: She glances down at his pockets and giggles before the expression fades to seriousness again. She takes his hand. "Come somewhere with me?"
10 Dec 13, 03:17 PM
Marcos: Sees the look "Hey I'm a growing boy, I get hungry" with a shrug before she asks. "Of course, lead the way, love." Feels a little thrill just saying it
10 Dec 13, 03:46 PM
Gia: As they left the hall, she hesitated before she sighed and headed for the clock tower, when they arrived, the smell of vodka still lingered in the air. She turned to him and frowned. "I found her passed out here this morning."
10 Dec 13, 04:20 PM
[×] Marcos: He was surprised how far they walked and had raised eyebrows by the time he figured out where they were headed. The room had...well a memory attached which was etched on his brain. The smell of alcohol was still in the air and he made a face. "Oh sh!t."10 Dec 13, 04:28 PM
Gia: She nodded. "She opened it, your present. She was still holding it when I found her." She looks sad, "but she did have me help her get it on when she woke up."
10 Dec 13, 04:32 PM
Marcos: As she mentioned the present he allowed hope to come into his eyes, his face opening up as he looked at her, but it was quickly dashed as he saw her sad features. "d@mn!" She say something more about it, but he nearly folded his legs right there. Leaning against the wall and sliding down he sat there, face a mask of frustration. "I thought... I just had hopes it might get her to talk to at least one of us." 'No, I had hoped she would talk to me,' he thought not knowing where to go next
10 Dec 13, 04:42 PM
Gia: "She said to tell you thank you" she sighed. "I said she should tell you herself but she.." She gives him a helpless look, bites her lip as though debating and then sighs again. "I need to show you something."
10 Dec 13, 04:49 PM
[×] Marcos: Hearing she hadn't been able to tell him thank you hurt. He looked up at Gia without words, knowing that by falling for Gia he was losing his closest friend. Painfully. "Uh oh, there's more?" he stood up, slowly
10 Dec 13, 05:05 PM
Gia: She nodded, looking frustrated and maybe a bit nervous. If he still had feelings for her sister, better to know now. She crosses the room to the etching and motions to it. "It might not have been her" she acknowledges, "but I know she's here a lot."
10 Dec 13, 05:10 PM
Marcos: (( did she write that notation before their final split when he talked to her about Gia or will he think she did it after that time? ))
10 Dec 13, 05:12 PM
Gia: ((She did it during the solo I just didn't include it))
10 Dec 13, 05:14 PM
[×] Marcos: Following her across the room, he bent down in front of the writing and frowned. He didn't know anything about this. "I've never seen this before, but it could be her." he glanced at Gia and suddenly it occurred to him what she might be thinking. 'Do you think--" he swallowed "Do you think she is drowning herself in alcohol because of what I did?" The ending answer was shaky and fearful at the idea he might be to blame for her death wish
10 Dec 13, 05:19 PM
Gia: She looks at him, hesitates, but then shakes her head. "I think there has to be more to it than that. She started changing before you came last summer, Marco." She's searching his eyes, trying to gauge his feelings.
10 Dec 13, 05:25 PM
Marcos: Looks at her, confused. "I'm not talking about last sum-- Oh hang on." he squeezed the bridge of his nose; he was going to have to tell her something painful. Sighing he leaned back against the wall and patted the spot beside him. "COme here, Gia, this is going to take awhile to explain I think. Might as well sit down."
10 Dec 13, 05:29 PM
Gia: She hesitates before nodding. "A-all right". She follows him, takes a seat cross-legged and meets his eyes expectantly.
10 Dec 13, 05:29 PM
Marcos: "Last summer when I came to visit we had a conversation about your parents and how she didn't want to hurt them. She asked me to play up to it as if we were dating for them. When she told me what that asshole had done to her, I knew it was at least partly my fault for having put her in a spot to be hurt." He glanced at her holding up a hand. "No, this is what I was thinking at the time, this is not debatable even though I know you think it wrong." Grimaced.
10 Dec 13, 05:31 PM
Gia: She opens her mouth to argue, but closes it again, giving him a frustrated look. "Fine, keep going"
10 Dec 13, 05:32 PM
[×] Marcos: "Problem is Gia, I'm an emotional person. I don't fake emotions, I live them. Knowing she had been hurt and knowing I was at fault, I started to try and make it up for her, be the kind of person she needed though it wasn't really me. And trying to do everything for her and be there for her, I fell in love with her again, trying to put what I wanted aside to live for what she wanted." Looks wretched.
10 Dec 13, 05:42 PM
[×] Marcos: "I gave up on myself, I did all I thought she would need, but you are right, she changed. And we hadn't been back long before she she told me she would not date me again, she could not love me in that way and I had to stop." He hung his head, not proud of this next part at all; it was wrenching for him. "I spent the next three nights tied to my bed cause Madden caught me trying to throw myself from the tower. To be there for her, I had let myself invest myself entirely in her and so it messed me up pretty bad when she did that."
10 Dec 13, 05:57 PM
Gia: "I know" she says softly. "It was there...in the journal." Her next words are hard to say. "You still love her."
10 Dec 13, 05:59 PM
Marcos: " No and yes." Bangs head back against the wall. "You called me a hero last night, Gia and maybe for a moment I was, but there is a big problem with heroes. They sacrifice themselves for others, not for what they need and want so much. If someone would be happy with the last sandwich on the plate and I'm starving, I'll give them the plate and pretend I'm full. That's me, I'm happier when others are."
10 Dec 13, 05:59 PM
Marcos: He shrugged. "She really killed me that night, ripped my heart open. It took me awhile to start living again. They only stopped watching me everyday a month ago, just because they were worried. Hell I was worried! But she broke me. I think a part of me will always love her, but it's more like as a best friend now cause I think she needs one, a guy's perspective on things. Only now she doesn't listen anymore cause of what I did next. THIS is what I meant about her drinking and why this room."
He sighed. "I think if I hadn't done this, then yeah she would be shaken but fine maybe. Oh who knows, but she wouldn't be drinking I think. I came to her in this room and asked her if I could talk to her. She said she didn't want to fix things. I told her I was feeling some...things for you. She got mad and threatened to beat my head in. I told her I would let her do it." He fell silent a moment, eyes closed. "I explained I couldn't stop what was happening in my heart and head, but I was not going to chase you either."
Now he looked at her directly and said "I told her I only wanted to give you a chance to make up your own mind. No pressure, no sabotage, no tricks, no lies, no interference. I think she only agreed at the end to leave it alone because she loves you, Gia. And maybe she did it while thinking she loves me too. That might be the problem, Gia, that we work." And now a tear crept down from his eye as he watched her face. "To save my best friend, I have to give up on love to one who already has my heart. That's what I fear..."
10 Dec 13, 10:51 PM
Rose: She listens, and the longer she listens, the sadder she gets. She's torn between fear and sadness for her sister, jealousy over Marco's feelings for Nadya, and the need to distract him from his pain. "Did you ever think maybe she lied?" Her voice is small, but she has to be honest with him. "She loves you Marco, if I wasn't sure of it this summer, I'm positive now." She could picture it, the conversation, Nadya didn't cry when she got hurt, she got mad. "How mad was she?" She murmurs softly, already having some idea of the answer. "I know she did" she murmurs, sounding resigned now to what she thinks must be coming. "She thought I would be better for you...than...that you'd be good for me." She could see it now, very very clearly and her heart broke for all three of them. She hurt, too much too fast, she was going to lose one of them, her boyfriend or her sister in this mess without a miracle to stop it. "I...don't know what to tell you, Marco. I can't tell you what you should choose."
10 Dec 13, 11:16 PM
Marcos: "Lied? Of course I thought of it, but I trust her." He hears her and it pulls at his heart strings. "The problem, Gia, is that whether anyone loves each other or not, we've broken each other enough I'm not sure we can ever fall back into trust again and love without trust is nearly impossible." She asked how mad and he could feel something inside him stir. "Not much, it was mostly hurt. She lasted five seconds and when I put my head down and told her to bash my brains in she stopped." Hears the sound in her voice and turns, pulling her close. "Gia, love, three lives are in this, not just hearts. I can't let go of you and I can't let go of her. There has to be away to save you both, I have to try!" He got up and pulled out his wand and pointe it at the carving and added 'Gia' over the '&' of the carving, obliterating it and drew a heart around all three. Putting his wand away he caught her hand and pulled her close. "GIa, I can't lose you. I love you, like no one else. You are sweet
10 Dec 13, 11:19 PM
[×] Marcos: and wonderful and d@mn smart and I need you, like my chest needs a heart! I'd dive into a raging river to save your sister, but right now I think I would do it because I can't stand the idea of you losing her more then living without her! If I have to go the rest of my life without seeing her I'd cling tight to you and cry my eyes out of pain at losing such a friend, but I'd let you go to her each day without resistance." He leaned over and kissed her softly, but with urgencency, not pushing things, but the gates were straining.
10 Dec 13, 11:23 PM
Giana: She listens, but as the mood changes she seems surprised. When he tells her he loves her, she freezes, and its not until he's finished speaking that she responds. "Y-you love m-me?" Already on the verge of crying, the tears start to fall silently. When he kissed her, she kissed him back, responding as best she could to the emotions she sensed.
10 Dec 13, 11:32 PM
[×] Marcos: He nods, seeing the tears he reaches out and wipes them away as best he can, holding back his own barely. When she kisses back he lets the energy flow, and lets her have a taste of what his tulmit of emotions about her feel like and manages to stop only after like three or four minutes, but not pulling away, holding her tight to his frame. "d@mn, Giana, command me, I am yours."
10 Dec 13, 11:40 PM
Giana: When he takes his lips off hers, she feels warm and something new spreads through her chest and down. She meets his eyes, pupils dialated, and a new feeling comes at his declaration. "I...I love you too, Marco, but I'm not going to command anything." She sighs, "I do want you to talk to Nadya, I think the two of you have some things to work out."
10 Dec 13, 11:48 PM
[×] Marcos: -has not let go of her, looking into her eyes from inches and can feel his heart going like a woodpecker. "Then I want to ask you to a ball, Giana. I want any girl there to see who has my eyes and know no one else comes close." Nods, feeling like he's heading to a shoot out at the okay corral. "I think she won't talk to me unless I hit her with something attention getting. Can I tell her how desperate you are about her drinking? If she is trying to protect you, I might be able to hammer that one in."
10 Dec 13, 11:49 PM
Giana: She blushes, smiles up at him and nods. "I was hoping you'd ask" she says softly, looking slightly amused in spite of the seriousness of the moment. She sighs, "tell her whatever you have to Marco, but please, try not to hurt her too much, I'm not sure how stable she is really."
10 Dec 13, 11:55 PM
[×] Marcos: Eyes alight, smiles and nods at her agreement, a flush up his neck the only visible sigh on his skin. "Fantastic." Shakes his head no. "No, I won't tell her just whatever, Gia. I want to make her talk to you again so since she's been avoiding me, I'm going to press her about you first. You need your sister and I'll drive her to you anyway I can." Momentary sadness runs through his eyes and he looks down. In a much softer voice he adds "No, no I don't want to hurt her either, but I'm afraid if I don't surprise or shock her, I won't be able to reach the old Nadya inside her head, get her thinking again."
10 Dec 13, 11:56 PM
Giana: She leans up, brushes her lips over his again. "I trust you, love, you'll do what you have to" she nods. "Just don't be surprised if she's harder to reach than you think."
11 Dec 13, 12:00 AM
[×] Marcos: Nods. "I have to try." hesitates then clasps his hands behind her back. "You know, Giana, when you called me a hero last night. When a hero gets sent off on a mission, the love interest usually gives him a kiss for good luck and to make sure he never looses track of what he is doing." Mischievous look "And...maybe what the reward will be if he succeeds."
11 Dec 13, 12:17 AM
Giana: She smiles at him, shaking her head. "I"ve given you several kisses today already Marco, getting greedy aren't you?
11 Dec 13, 12:18 AM
Marcos: Looks innocent for only a second. "Me greedy? No way, I'm just becomming a collector of the most amazing kisses in record and find myself tempted to ask for another..." Grins
11 Dec 13, 12:18 AM
Giana: She rolls her eyes at him, but she's still smiling, eyes bright. She arches an eyebrow at him, "the most amazing? Really?" She's thinking of her sister.
11 Dec 13, 12:20 AM
[×] Marcos: Nods without hesitation. 'Oh come on now, you felt what that one did. Are you going to tell me you didn't find that the slightest bit....addictive or collectable?" -brushes her nose with his-
11 Dec 13, 12:39 AM
Giana: She blushes, wondering if he can read her thoughts. "I found it something all right"
11 Dec 13, 12:40 AM
[×] Marcos: -grins, flushed in the cheeks. "One more then for the knight? he is going off into a dangerous and tricky battle."
11 Dec 13, 12:56 AM
Giana: She giggles, "one more" then leans up and kisses him, really kisses him, still running off the fuel from earlier.
11 Dec 13, 01:01 AM
[×] Marcos: Grins wider at the giggle and feels a deep seated relief they are, at least, better then okay. "Kisses back with a certain quality of hunger to it and manages to pull away a few minutes later. "Oh love, I think I'll be running on that for awhile. Okay." Lets go of her reluctantly and pulls up his belt. "Okay, Imma going to do this. I'll come find you immediately afterwards, Love." Grins, pointsat arm, covered in goose bumps, turns and heads off-

11 Dec 13, 03:13 AM Marcos: shakes head "Nope, out under the stars, it's really beautiful up there. " 11 Dec 13, 03:12 AM Giana: She laughs, "I think I'd like your mom, she sounds fun" Her eyes widened, "a hot tub on the roof? Sounds cold" ((Aww, kk Shava, sleep well<333)) 11 Dec 13, 03:12 AM Kairi: (Aww, okay Shava!) 11 Dec 13, 03:11 AM Candra: (( Hey guys for once, my eyes can't stay open much more. Imma have to go sleep soon  )) 11 Dec 13, 03:10 AM Candra: Manages to stop sideways on the slope only a few feet down, both poles at an odd angle stopping her. "Jeeze!" breaths heavy, looking down the slope. "That's a long way... 11 Dec 13, 03:09 AM Marcos: laughs "Us? Nah, we hardly get in that much trouble. Mom'd skin us. Well, she threatens to anyway." he grins. "We did a sauna once, but the hot tub rules. It's on a roof." 11 Dec 13, 03:06 AM Kairi: Follows Candra's lead and leaves the ski lift, snowplowing quickly and stopping at the edge. "Oi, Candra! You were supposed to wait up!" she calls before moving towards him, hoping that he would get things figured out before crashing. 11 Dec 13, 03:06 AM Giana: She shrugs, "we're Russian" it was the excuse Luca always used, and while it never quite made sense to her, it was a habit. "That sounds nice" she answers, "though I bet things get pretty crazy with you guys." 11 Dec 13, 03:05 AM Nadya: Her eyes closed and she found herself enjoying the odd mixture of pleasure and pain. She doesn't seem surprised when he picks her up. "You're going to get a lot more than I disagreeistance very shortly" she promises. At his demand, she arches an eyebrow and smirks, shimmying out of the jeans she'd worn. She drags her nails down his back in return, digging slightly s her breathing picks up and she bites his lip hard. She arches into him, reaching down to undo his pants, she gives him a dark, carnal look. "Yes sir" she murmurs, an edge of sarcasm underlying the submissive tone. 11 Dec 13, 03:05 AM Candra: Manages to go forward without falling then desperately snowplows as the edge of the slope comes up fast. "Oh man..." glides right over edge having dropped hand and fumbling with the sticks 11 Dec 13, 03:05 AM Lux Cole: Lux licked her lips, biting down sharply when she felt his hand digging in to her thigh. Every time he touched her, it just felt amazing and this was no different. Lux forced her eyes open and found her hands pulling at the shirt he was wearing. Merlin she just wanted it all off right now. She gulped lightly hearing his growl, a sound that always seemed to set her off, "Off..just..all of off and.." She felt out of breath already as if his teasing her was an experience in itself. Gulping again, "By proving you're worthy of owning me.." Lux said finally regaining herself. 11 Dec 13, 03:03 AM Marcos: "Wow, does any family not do alcohol?" shakes his head amused. "Mom has a friend who has a cabin near a resort in the mmountains, they have this big old hot tub and we usually all sit in it and drink sodas and laugh and tell jokes and stuff. It's....nice somehow. I think of hot tubs, I think of family." fond moment oddly enough 11 Dec 13, 03:02 AM Kairi: She nods, surprised that Candra didn't drop her hand. "We can do this!" she said, trying to encourage herself. 11 Dec 13, 03:01 AM Candra: -holds her hand without thinking about it. "Nah, looks good. Poles on one hand, we'll balance each other, just have to stay straight it looks like... 11 Dec 13, 02:59 AM Giana: She wrinkles her nose. "Mum and dad usually throw a big party and we invite Uncle Ivan and Aunt Sydney, usually Uncle Seth and Aunt Makenna too. Mostly everyone just drinks a lot and sometimes we shoot fireworks." 11 Dec 13, 02:58 AM Seth Cole: Seth chuckled lightly at her comment, and then scratched down her back then used his hand to pick Nadya up and walked over to a wall to help balance things. "I'm going to need more than just your assistance very shortly." He mumbled in between kissing her roughly. He felt her hips grinding against his own and found his hips moving with her, it becoming one fluid motion. His one hand scratching it's way down her side and reaching her thigh. As he grabbed her thigh and began moving his hand up, he pulled at the fabric that was in the way. "Off" 11 Dec 13, 02:57 AM Kairi: She frowns as she sees how close they are, reaching for her friend's hand nervously. "I'm nervous, Candra." 11 Dec 13, 02:57 AM Marcos: "nice!" Nods with his head on her. "Our extended isn't that big a crowd, but mom said something about maybe having some people over for dinner this year. I have no idea who. Say, do you do anything for nNew Year's?" 11 Dec 13, 02:55 AM Candra: chuckles. Sees the end coming up and watches the people in front of them disembarking. "Looks like the end is easy at least. 11 Dec 13, 02:54 AM Giana: She nods, "oh yes. Dad has two sisters and mom has one brother" Giana pauses, "well, she had two but uncle Vlad died before I was born." She grins, "lots of cousins too." She catches a glimpse of Nadya and Seth and flinches before refocusing on Marcos. "The real kind" 11 Dec 13, 02:54 AM Kairi: She laughs. "I'll keep those in mind. Especially if you decide not to talk to me for much longer," she jokes. 11 Dec 13, 02:54 AM Luca: He slid one hand up her thigh and over her skirt to her back where he spidered his fingers up to the back of her neck. The other hand sunk into the flesh of her left thigh as he drew his teeth over her neck, only stopping to make light nips at her skin. However the moment that her legs wrapped around his middle and tightened he groaned against her before biting down on her neck harder than any of his nips had been. It was times like these that made him for sure know that he always wanted her no matter when it was. When her words breathed out from her mouth and her hands found themselves scratching up his chest he pulled away. "How else do you want me to?" He growled, his eyes almost unfocused as he cut off whatever words she might've wanted to say and claimed her lips with his. 11 Dec 13, 02:53 AM Candra: -holds up fingers one after the other with a grin. "Falling, Snowplows, and running into people you want to talk with more." laughs 11 Dec 13, 02:52 AM Marcos: puts his head on her shoulder and sighs, fairly content. "So you have lots of family around? that's nice." catches drink and sips some more. "Christmas for us is just mom and my brothers, we use Thanksgiving for extended family time. But we travel to go to them, Christmas we stay at home." 11 Dec 13, 02:51 AM Nadya: She laughed softly. "How can I be of assistance?" She kissed him back, hard, glad to have an outlet for her darker emotions. He bit her lip and she moaned softly, parting her lips and grinding her hips against his as her grip on his shoulders tightened. He was more fun when she fought back anyway. 11 Dec 13, 02:50 AM Kairi: Raises an eyebrow. "Three ways? Didn't he only teach us the one?" she asks. 11 Dec 13, 02:49 AM Giana: She grins at him, "both" She shrugs, "my grandparents and my aunts tend to get a little...carried away." She shrugs, "but it all gets eaten, so no one really minds." She curls up in the booth, enjoying the moment. 11 Dec 13, 02:49 AM Seth Cole: Seth arched an eyebrow and smirked. An audience. That always made things more interesting. "A lesson should be in order to the simple folk who just came here for some innocent skiing." Seth said as he looked around jsut for a minute, he leaned in roughly as he pressed his lips against her, biting her lip as his tongue demanded to be allowed in, grazing her teeth. 11 Dec 13, 02:49 AM Candra: Now starts to get worried, but doesn't show it. "Best teacher is experience. besides, I forgot to look. Hey, we already know three ways to stop, we'll be mastering this in no time." 11 Dec 13, 02:47 AM Marcos: Laughs, mostly enjoying snuggling her and hoping she doesn't want to go anywhere anytime soon. "I've heard Italians like to cook. So lots of different dishes? Or just big ones?" 11 Dec 13, 02:47 AM Kairi: She looks around, not sure why the hell she allowed herself to go up on this thing. "Don't they have like beginner stuff?" 11 Dec 13, 02:46 AM Candra: "....They seem to be enjoying it...." Bites lip and then looks where they are headed. "Maybe it's better up here at the top.." 11 Dec 13, 02:46 AM Lux Cole: Lux bit her bottom lip softly, almost nervously as she felt the anticipation building. It was something that should turn her off completely, hearing those words come out of a guy's mouth that he owned her. But..it was anything but a turn off. Something about Luca made Lux want to feel like she belonged to him, wanted it branded on her for other's to see. It was more than an attraction, something about him made her physically need him whenever they were in the same room, and Lux had to admit it made he excited. She felt her heart beating a bit faster when he repeated the words..that he would mark her. She closed her eyes feeling Luca lightly nipping at her neck and felt her legs instinctively wrap around him, pulling his body closer to her. "How else?" She asked feeling her hands trace their way up his chest, scratching. 11 Dec 13, 02:45 AM Giana: She nods, "Christmas in Italy is my favorite. You've never seen so much food in your life" She smiles softly, "its also one of the only times Luca and Nadya aren't bickering over something silly." 11 Dec 13, 02:45 AM Kairi: Shakes her head. "That is making me feel even more terrified. Why do people do this?" 11 Dec 13, 02:45 AM Candra: Has big eyes, but hearing Kairi remembers boys love this kind of shit so plays it off. "Yeah! It's cool! Look, you can see people wiping ou--- Damn they are fast." 11 Dec 13, 02:44 AM Marcos: Shakes his head. "It's what i smell when mom makes it on the stove. It's a Christmas thing I guess. Puerto Rico has all kinds of stuff from Central America mixed in solike the hot chocolate has hot spices in it too. It's hard to explain I guess." laughs at self 11 Dec 13, 02:43 AM Kairi: "Oh okay?" she responded. "This is scary. i didn't think we'd have to be up in the air like this!" 11 Dec 13, 02:42 AM Giana: She thinks about this, "sounds nice, is that what they drink where you're from?" 11 Dec 13, 02:42 AM Kairi: [ ]
11 Dec 13, 02:42 AM
Nadya: She managed to shrug one shoulder, a feat when she was very nearly wrapped around him at this point. "We can show them how its done" she trailed lips and tongue over jaw and down his throat, "or you have maybe a minute to do whatever whisking you like" She bit lightly before glancing up into his eyes. "I don't care."
11 Dec 13, 02:42 AM
Candra: "Um. Nothing. Nevermind."
11 Dec 13, 02:41 AM
Candra: (the sound was Candra being surprised when the seat picked her up ;P ))
11 Dec 13, 02:41 AM
Kairi: Kairi moves next to Candra, turning away from the ski lift as it goes around. She stays calm as the ski lift comes around. "What was that?" she responds with a laugh.
11 Dec 13, 02:41 AM
Marcos: Has a hard time imagining how to say it. "Uh, apple juice and non strained parts mixed with like cinnamon, cloves, some other spices. Nice and hot." Shrugs not knowing how else to say it.
11 Dec 13, 02:39 AM
Giana: She nods emphatically, "you can never go wrong with chocolate" she tilts her head, "what's mulled cider?"
11 Dec 13, 02:38 AM
Seth Cole: Seth eyed her curiously for a moment, "Are we putting on a show for anyone? Or am I whisking you away?" He asked her. Considering he apparently never seemed to care about these public displays.
11 Dec 13, 02:38 AM
Luca: He knew that he had an effect on her that she didn't necessarily want, just as much as she knew he effected him in much the same way. Having someone who practically claimed him made him nervous with everything that he ever thought because what if one day he offended her? It would be a shit show. When her she sucked back in her breath when his fingers grazed her thighs he grinned bigger, leaning into her slightly as her arms slipped around his neck. "Yes. Mark you." He murmured, pressing his face in the crook of her neck. "You don't... but I'd like for people to know that I in some way... do not want you touched by someone else." He knew that it sounded that he owned her, and he definitely meant it that way... in a way, but it was more of some wolfy claim that came about. "How?... Well..." He murmured before nipping lightly at her neck.
11 Dec 13, 02:37 AM
Candra: Manages to pull way into place in front of the lift leaving space for kairi and says as the chair comes around "Oh come on, he's one of thos ebig shoulDEEEEEERED OMG"
11 Dec 13, 02:37 AM
Nadya: The skin under his lips tingled, it was strange, but she didn't feel like being in control tonight. It was a rarity, but she was fairly sure Seth wouldn't mind. She kissed him, running her tongue over his bottom lip before she bit down, when she pulled away, eyes dark, her expression had changed. "I was hoping you'd say that."
11 Dec 13, 02:36 AM
Kairi: She laughs. "What, do I give off an air of a flirt?" she jokes, following Candra off towards the ski lift in a much more controlled manner.
11 Dec 13, 02:35 AM
Marcos: Nods "it does seem to be a very english things, they do it in America a lot too. I've always thought mulled cider was Christmas for me. But you can't really go too wrong with chocolate."
11 Dec 13, 02:34 AM
Candra: tries a snow plow and finds it is a lot easier then flailing and hitting something. has no idea how fast sking really is. "S'okay. Seems to me you may have done it just to get him to pick you up." laughs and pushes self towards the ski lift with more control
11 Dec 13, 02:32 AM
Kairi: Kairi looks at Candra after their lesson. "Sorry about that  "
11 Dec 13, 02:32 AM
Seth Cole: Seth held her hair still, holding Nadya's head in place as he turned it to the side showing her bare neck. He felt her nails digging into his shoulder and felt a low growl stir in his throat as he leaned in and bit her neck softly, slowly biting harder as he trailed nibbles up. "I'm game."
11 Dec 13, 02:32 AM
Giana: She nods, "Lets finish these first" She takes another sip and smiles. "I love hot chocolate" she murmurs, "reminds me of Christmas time"
11 Dec 13, 02:31 AM
Marcos: Chuckles and picks his mug back up to sip. "Sure. Better then that at least," he motions at the two having issues getting to the machines to even begin
11 Dec 13, 02:30 AM
Candra: manages to move slowly in her direction about the time a ski employee helps her up and shows both of them how to snowplow with their skis to slow and stop before going on about where they were headed.
11 Dec 13, 02:29 AM
Lux Cole: Lux smirked hearing him tease about the possibility of being slightly jealous. It was a rush to feel that, jealousy and possession. Lux had no idea that there was actual pleasure in feeling such negative things. But, there was, it caused her to crave and need Luca more, a feeling she had never experienced with anyone before. Lux inhaled sharply as Luca moved between her legs as she sat on the bar and brushed his fingers against her thighs. Lux wrapped her arms around his neck, "Hm mark me? I didn't realize I belonged to you." She smirked. "But..how would you go about doing that?"
11 Dec 13, 02:29 AM
Giana: She hesitates, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. "Can you teach me?"
11 Dec 13, 02:29 AM
Marcos: Feels her pleased and feels good about that, smiiles. "A few times, all little places and never inside like this place. It's kind of impressive. There are a wide variety in the States, like one resort has six mountains inside it's grounds."
11 Dec 13, 02:29 AM
Kairi: Tries to use the stick thingys to slow herself, but manages only to fall, which would stop her, but would also make it hard for her to get back up. "Oof,"
11 Dec 13, 02:27 AM
Candra: Shouts back "Run into someone"
11 Dec 13, 02:27 AM
Giana: She leans into him, laying her head on his shoulder. "Okay" she grins when he kisses her cheek. "So have you ever actually been skiing before?"
11 Dec 13, 02:27 AM
Kairi: Shouts as she goes past. "How do you stop this thing?"
11 Dec 13, 02:26 AM
Candra: Nods, looks back, sees her coming on way too fast. "Gak!" bends down, bracing for impact and looks up confused when Kairi has sailed past
11 Dec 13, 02:25 AM
Marcos: Puts it down on the warmer, gets up, slips over to her side, slides in beside her, puts his arm around her pulling her snuggily against him. "Gia, you feel amazing right beside me now. Seriously." Snuggles a bit more "And that's awesome, perfect for right now, love," kisses her cheek "and I wouldn't ask you for anything else. Whe you feel like more, you tell me, okay?"
11 Dec 13, 02:24 AM
Kairi: "You don't?" she repeats in disbelief. She puts the funny stick things down towards the ground and pushing with them. She very nearly launches herself forward a bit more than planned and lets out a gasp of surprise.
11 Dec 13, 02:23 AM
Candra: Watches soemone pass her, puts poles down and tries pushing like they did. "Oh. You don't move the feet. I think I have it..." Manages to move towards the line very awkwardly
11 Dec 13, 02:22 AM
Giana: She nods, "I'll take your word for it, maybe I'll try one another time." She bites her lip again, "you're sure about...the other thing?"
11 Dec 13, 02:22 AM
Kairi: Nods, shuffling awkwardly on her skis. "Uh... okay?"
11 Dec 13, 02:21 AM
Candra: "Um." they hadn't looked rickety till now. "Everyone else seems to be doing it. Looks like they just get in front of them, sit down, and ride."
11 Dec 13, 02:20 AM
Marcos: Nods. Sips, smacks lips. "Not a problem. I don't usually anyway. But if I'm going to go out to aplace which does them right all the day long, seems worth it to do one. besides, it's got more flavors going on in it then regular stuff." gives her a smile. "Trust me, only one of these."
11 Dec 13, 02:19 AM
Kairi: She looks apprehensive. "So, we trust those rickety looking benches?"
11 Dec 13, 02:18 AM
Candra: "I think we have to be up on the slope before we know." Looks at the ski lift. "So, just have to make it there then it's downhill I think."
11 Dec 13, 02:18 AM
Giana: She nods, not sure if she believes him, but glad for the moment that they're on the same page. "Okay" she says softly. She shakes her head, "I really don't think I could handle alcohol right now."
11 Dec 13, 02:17 AM
Kairi: Kairi felt a bit nervous about this skiing thing. "Why do people find this fun again?" she asked.
11 Dec 13, 02:17 AM
Nadya: She tensed when he bit her lip, moaned softly, enjoying the forcefulness. She needed this, needed someone like him right now. She dug her nails into his shoulders. "I think..." she leaned up, whispered against his ear, "there are a lot of things you and I need to do tonight."
11 Dec 13, 02:17 AM
Candra: "thanks" grabs a handrail and slides feet back and forth before grabbing the poles. "Okay. Forward. Can do this.
11 Dec 13, 02:16 AM
Marcos: Pursing his lips he picked up the mug and holds it out first "Want to have a taste first?" then listens to her words. "I know that Giana, but listen, that's the point. I love you for who you are, not who you want to be or try to seem. You take your time. When you are ready, even if it's a long time, I'll be there. And it will be all the more important to me because it's you. So no worries, okay?" takes her hand on the table and kisses the back of it.
11 Dec 13, 02:14 AM
Giana: She nods slowly, thinking she might understand somewhat. "But that's....I mean...I don't know when I'll be ready to..." She sighs, "I don't think I'm ready for that yet."
11 Dec 13, 02:14 AM
Kairi: Letting out a giggle, Kairi manages to get the skis on without falling over. She reaches down to help Candra up, barely managing to stay on her skis as she does.
11 Dec 13, 02:13 AM
Seth Cole: Seth found himself closing his eyes as Nadya kissed him, her teeth teasing his bottom lip and not giving him the full satisfaction of biting it. As she wrapped her arms around his neck Seth laced his arms around her waist, at the ready to pick her up. It was a bit unfair, considering Nadya was aware Seth was still wound up from last night, he probably would have jumped on any opportunity, so he didn't seem to care that she was using him right now. He opened his eyes, allowed his hand to trace up Nadya's back until he reached her hair. Her grabbed a handful lightly pulling it and leaned in to kiss her. Placing his lips against hers he bit down on her bottom lip, sucking on it some, "I think we both need to relax."
11 Dec 13, 02:13 AM
Candra: "
11 Dec 13, 02:13 AM
Candra: Manages the other in time to have both slip out from under her and is liying on the skies on the back. "This doesn't looks nearly so hard when other people do it.
11 Dec 13, 02:12 AM
Marcos: -slips her some of the chocolates and grins. "Giana, what we had was...well, yes it was nice, but it wasn't till this summer it got...initimate. But she was, damn, how do I say this, changed like you said. I've never met anyone more aggressive and direct." Looks frustrated even though the words are close. "She was an entirely different person. Not the Nadya I liked so much."
11 Dec 13, 02:11 AM
Luca: He chuckles, "Well I hope the world would never know. Because then I might be just a little bit jealous you know." He laughs this time, watching her get up on the bar. His eyes trail down her legs for a long moment before finding their way back up to her face, "Mmm... he would definitely." He mumbles before shifting over slightly and stepping between her legs. "But you know, then....I would just have to mark you as mine again.... a little bite here... or there." He mumbled, brushing his fingers against her thighs.
11 Dec 13, 02:10 AM
Giana: She nods, taking the hot chocolate, glad to have something to do with her hands.

Marcos: www.sirup-shop.de/pics/mittel/leopold-irish-coffee-set-00695_2.jpg
11 Dec 13, 02:09 AM
Marcos: Quite surprised at her, raises an eyebrow up. "Oh! Hang on," he says as the waitress brings the drinks over, giving her a nice tall hot chocolate and him the Ski Lift
11 Dec 13, 02:09 AM
Kairi: Copies Candra still, feeling silly for not figuring things out herself. "Awesome! One more thingy to go!" she exclaims as she manages to put one on.
11 Dec 13, 02:08 AM
Candra: Mutters to self. "Okay, rubber things, then toe in, heel down. Right." Manages to get one and utters soft 'yes!' and then tries the other
11 Dec 13, 02:08 AM
Giana: She blushes, seeming frustrated, but manages a giggle at the hippopotamus comment. "N-no, what I mean is...the way you and Nadya...were...what you did..do you miss it?"
11 Dec 13, 02:07 AM
Nadya: She leaned up and kissed him, grazing her teeth over his bottom lip and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Of course I am, I like seeing you all wound up." She smirks, "and I would love..." She trails her lips from his, over his jaw, "to spend some time helping you relax."
11 Dec 13, 02:04 AM
Giana: She bites her lip, but manages not to stutter over it. "I've been thinking...since the clock tower...and I was wondering if you miss...well...I know you...with Nadya...and you and I don't...and um..." She sighs, seeming frustrated.
11 Dec 13, 02:04 AM
Seth Cole: Seth followed her gaze, though it was only for a moment, he was sure she was looking at Marcos. Though Seth had to admit that he didn't mind helping Nadya out, he didn't mind at all. "This is very true." He said speaking about himself. Seth linked an arm around Nadya's waist as she pressed herself closer to him. "Fun? You're just taking advantage that I'm all wound up from last night." He smirked and nodded. "But you are right."
11 Dec 13, 02:04 AM
Kairi: Kairi watches, copying the boy's moves. She had no idea what she was doing. She was a pureblood through and through and just didn't quite understand these muggle contraptions. "Let's hope you don't fall!" she exclaims, her eyes bright.
11 Dec 13, 02:02 AM
Candra: "Okay, now with luck since I am on sosot stuff I won't be doing any accidental falling." Drops skis on the ground, uses pole to awkwardly flip them over one at a time for attaching
11 Dec 13, 02:01 AM
Marcos: Glances at her, smiles and leans across the table setting both his hands upright in the middle of the table. "Anything, anytime. What's on your mind?"
11 Dec 13, 02:01 AM
Kairi: Kairi waits outside for Candra, not seeing him throw his skis. She was just looking around at the snow, smiling wistfully.
11 Dec 13, 02:00 AM
Giana: She watches the waitress leave with their drink order and bites her lip, preparing to bring up something a bit tricky. "Can I ask you something?"
11 Dec 13, 02:00 AM
Nadya: She rolls her eyes, still smirking. "Pass, I like my guys a little less...whiny" She allowed herself once, only once, to glance at Marco with her sister at Seth's question. "Because the more I remember about now the more I forget about the past." She focused on his eyes, "and as I recall it a night with you is definitely worth remembering." She pressed herself close to him, trailed her fingertips down his arms as she smiled mischievously up at him. "Come on, Seth, you know it'll be fun."
11 Dec 13, 01:59 AM
Candra: Waits till kairi is outside and not looking to swing the skis through and quickly run out before they get caught in the door, causing two people inside to back off and wait eyes wide
11 Dec 13, 01:58 AM
Marcos: Nods, seeing her face. "It will be okay Giana, we'll find a way." orders one of each, goes ahead and pays in advance. "Yours will ebe easier anyway I suspect."
11 Dec 13, 01:58 AM
Kairi: Kairi smiles. "Kairi," she said, introducing herself with a goofy curtsy. It was hard to do with the skis, but she manages to do so either way. "Thanks, Candra" she says as the door is held open.
11 Dec 13, 01:57 AM
Candra: Nods. "Point. I'm Candra by the way. "Toters on the large boots to the door and then realizes she can't open the door easily with skis over her shoulder, manages the door and holds for the other girl-
11 Dec 13, 01:56 AM
Seth Cole: Seth sighed, "Yes I know. You and Lux both. But in my defense you've never had sex with her. It's pretty good.." Good enough to make Seth want it again. Seth raised an eyebrow as Nadya explained and returned her smile with his own smirk, "May I ask what made you want to remember things in the morning now?"
11 Dec 13, 01:55 AM
Giana: She shakes her head, remembering the sight of Nadya hunched over the bottle. "I...don't think so...just a regular boring hot chocolate for me."
11 Dec 13, 01:54 AM
Kairi: Figuring out the silly contraptions, Kairi stands, picking her skis up as well. "That's okay, at least the snow will catch us!"
11 Dec 13, 01:53 AM
Marcos: Laughs "Oh I might do that, it's a cool set up it seems, but in this case a ski lift is a hot chocolate with alcohol in it to give it a different flavor."
11 Dec 13, 01:53 AM
Candra: "I promise, if I end up running into you I'm not trying to get a feel, I'm probably being thankful you are not a tree." -gets her skis finally off the floor, and then over her shoulder without decapitating anyone-
11 Dec 13, 01:52 AM
Giana: She tilts her head, "you were planning to go skiing?" She'd never really done it before, was kind of nervous about the prospect.
11 Dec 13, 01:51 AM
Kairi: [[Just wanted to double check  ]]
11 Dec 13, 01:51 AM
Kairi: Nodding, Kai starts to put her skis on, though she has no idea what she is doing either. "That's okay, I'll probably be screaming along with you," she admitted.
11 Dec 13, 01:51 AM
Candra: (9boy if you can't guess right now XDDD ))
11 Dec 13, 01:50 AM
Candra: ((yep I match the pictures when she changes))
11 Dec 13, 01:50 AM
Candra: "Just a warning, I've never done this before so if you hear a long scream coming down the trail like someone is completely out of control, leap for safety. Might be the only warning"
11 Dec 13, 01:49 AM
Kairi: [[Is Candra in her boy form then? What should Kai call her? He or she?]]
11 Dec 13, 01:49 AM
Kairi: She lets out a giggle, sitting up along with the person. "Well I'm glad you have realized the floor isn't snow" she joked, though her jokes might not make much sense to other people.
11 Dec 13, 01:48 AM
Nadya: She doubted Seth was used to having a girl walk out on him at all, much less naked. She grinned, "well obviously she's blind then, but we already knew the girl was crazy. I keep trying to tell you that." She shakes her head, still smiling a mischievous sort of smile. "Lets just say for what I have in mind, I'd like to remember it in the morning." She stands, moves close and murmurs softly, "know what I mean?"
11 Dec 13, 01:48 AM
Lux Cole: Lux smirked as she pulled her teeth off of Luca's ear allowing them to lightly scratch. "Well the world will never know." She teased and then pulled herself up to sit on the bar. "I would assume he would have an amazing night." Lux said with a small shrug as she began to play with the bottom of her short skirt.
11 Dec 13, 01:48 AM
Candra: looks over "Um, I thought it might be good to test out the natural protection on a floor so wehn I fall in the snow I'll know how lucky I am I disagree isn't broken." Sighs and sits up, undoing the damnable rubber straps-
11 Dec 13, 01:47 AM
Kairi: -lets out a quiet chuckle when she sees the person fall over, grabbing her skis from the counter and moving towards them. She lies down on the floor next to that person- "Why are you lying on the floor?"
11 Dec 13, 01:46 AM
Candra: -lies on the floor looking at the ceiling with a sigh of exaperation
11 Dec 13, 01:46 AM
Candra: -manages to remove the boots from the skis and then falls over cause she forgot the rubber ties to the boots to keep from losing them-
11 Dec 13, 01:46 AM
Seth Cole: Seth gave her a look, one that conveyed the frustration Macaila had caused him. "She forgot how to play on a night I was already completely naked...to say I was disappointed would be an understatement." He smirked. "Different?"
11 Dec 13, 01:45 AM
Marcos: -feels that little thriill again as she takes his hand and leads the way to a booth, purposefully putting his back to Nadya so her sister could keep an eye open for them- "THis should work. SKi lift or a hot chocolate?"
11 Dec 13, 01:45 AM
Kairi: Kairi skips in in her normal way, moving towards the counter to get some skis. She did not know how to do it, but it sounded like fun.
11 Dec 13, 01:44 AM
Giana: She nods, cheeks flushed from the cold. "I think that would be a fantastic idea" she takes his hand. "Lead the way"
11 Dec 13, 01:44 AM
Kairi: -Test
11 Dec 13, 01:44 AM
Luca: He smiles at her, his eyes slipping down to her biting her lip. It made her seem so much more... sexy when she did things like that. And when she leaned into him to nibble on his ear he breathed her in. "And what if it wasn't me?" He questioned softly, his eyebrow arching slightly.
11 Dec 13, 01:44 AM
Candra: -begins removing them with the attitude that she was just checking she knew how to put them on first...-
11 Dec 13, 01:43 AM
Nadya: She smirks, ignoring the alcohol comment and sticking her bottom lip out at him, "Poor Seth, his toy forgot how to play" She puts the glass down on the bar and, though she acknowledges her sister, tries to tune Marco out. Instead, she focuses on Seth. "I'm feeling like a different kind of fun tonight."
11 Dec 13, 01:43 AM
Candra: -realizes people are carrying the skis outside before putting them on and makes a frustrated scowlk-
11 Dec 13, 01:43 AM
Harper: [[I'll switch to her]]
11 Dec 13, 01:43 AM
Harper: [[Haha that could be fun, Kairi probably can't ski either.]]
11 Dec 13, 01:43 AM
Candra: (( if you want, he/she is going to be having a very comical first ski attempt outside soon lol ))
11 Dec 13, 01:42 AM
Harper: [[Maybe I should bring Kairi to hang out with Candra?]]
11 Dec 13, 01:41 AM
Candra: Stands up nearly wobbling and catches column to prevent toppling into the potted plants.
11 Dec 13, 01:40 AM
Marcos: "Well..." glances around and then nods at the restaurant "we can sit in a booth and watch for a bit, have a hot chocolate?"
11 Dec 13, 01:40 AM
Seth Cole: Seth smirked and nodded at the sight of her water. "Glad you realized that alcohol actually doesn;t hydrate you." He said and then sighed frustrated. "No..she found her conscience before anything began."
11 Dec 13, 01:39 AM
Giana: She nods, "I hope so" she studies her sister, realizes she's still wearing the necklace and wonders if she's taken it off. "Looks like it maybe" She glances around, "this is kind of cool."
11 Dec 13, 01:39 AM
Lux Cole: Lux smiled biting her bottom lip as she heard him. She leaned closer giving his ear a light nibble before speaking again. "I just wanted to speak with the hot guy demanding alcohol at the bar. Good thing he turned out to be you."
11 Dec 13, 01:37 AM
Candra: -snaps clasps on boots, nearly falls over trying to put boots in the skis-
11 Dec 13, 01:37 AM
Marcos: glances around and spots Nadya, nods "Hmm! Well, maybe something has changed we don't know about?"
11 Dec 13, 01:37 AM
Harper: She scans the group of people, taking a sip from her drink as she looked for someone worth spending time with.
11 Dec 13, 01:36 AM
Giana: She turns, looking slightly happier as she notices Nadya talking to Seth. "I think she's actually sober"
11 Dec 13, 01:35 AM
Nadya: She holds up a glass of water and smirks at him. "I'm rehydrating" she grins in a way that clearly says he shouldn't get used to it. "Have fun with Macaila the other night?"
11 Dec 13, 01:35 AM
Luca: He notices his siblings first, they had come in so long after him... why? He had no idea, he nodded towards them before turning back to the bar to find another full glass. As he went to grab for it he heard a voice in his ear that he had been waiting for, which caused a grin to slip onto his lips. "Mmm, I love how you know where to find me." He murmurs, tilting his head towards her.
11 Dec 13, 01:34 AM
Lux Cole: Lux walks along side with Seth until he found Nadya. He seemed oddly attached to needed female company lately. She sort of wondered what that was about. Lux looked over at the bar spotting Luca, one of the many perks of the Valerio's coming on these outings. "Fancy seeing you here sexy." She said whispering in his ear.
11 Dec 13, 01:33 AM
Candra: Sees people walking into the restaurant and walks over to the counter to get herself some ski gear
11 Dec 13, 01:33 AM
Harper: Harper goes to the bar, ordering a bit of alcohol to make herself feel warm.
11 Dec 13, 01:32 AM
Marcos: Follows Giana in for once, finding the reversed situaiton blwoing his mind slightly
11 Dec 13, 01:32 AM
Seth Cole: Seth walks side by side with his older sister. He spots the Valerio twins and makes his way over towards Nadya. "No bottle of vodka tonight? I'm impressed."
11 Dec 13, 01:31 AM
Candra: -tests-
11 Dec 13, 01:31 AM
Luca: He pushes the martini glass away from him on the bar and points at it, expecting another one from the bartender, before looking around behind him.
11 Dec 13, 01:31 AM
Giana: She walks in, immediately spotting her sister and waves, as she glances around.

28 Dec 13, 02:05 AM Marcos: Walks back and forth in front of the ROR doors three times and smiles when the door appears. Glancing inside he grinned and went and put half the pillows on one end, ploped down in the middle and dropped his bag 28 Dec 13, 02:05 AM Marcos: www.stupic.com/images/amazing-victorian-gothic-living-room-interior-style-inspirations.jpg28 Dec 13, 02:12 AM Giana: She was so fascinated by the RoR in the first place that meeting Marco to study there had seemed like a good idea, though she was slightly worried about her ability to focus while the two of them were alone. She entered, scanning the room until she spotted him. "Nice" she murmured, "looks perfect." 28 Dec 13, 02:14 AM [×] Marcos: Looks up from rummaging in his bag as she comes in. "I know, right? I thought of somewhere nice and quiet and it came up with this." Smiles and motions at the pile of pillows. "You can sit on pillows or here beside me either one, I don't mind. " Reached back into the bag and pulls out his charms book. 28 Dec 13, 02:17 AM Giana: She took the seat next to him and eyed the charms book. "Doing research for the essay?" she asked, "or tonight's homework?" She decided that starting with charms wasn't a bad idea and pulled hers out as well. 28 Dec 13, 02:20 AM [×] Marcos: Nods. "Research. I have to go through and write down all of what I wanna put in it in notes, decide what order, then write it all at once. If I do it any other way my grades go down." 28 Dec 13, 02:23 AM Giana: A soft smile, "a well-organized, thorough process? Who are you and what have you done with Marcos Jimenez?" she teased lightly. 28 Dec 13, 02:25 AM [×] Marcos: Laughs and sticks his tongue out at her. "I don't know about thorough, you may make a face when you see my notes, but I can't redo stuff to like fix things. If I do that, I screw it up every time. My only chance of making it sound reasoned is to do the reasoning while I write." -rolls his eyes and pulls out his note paper and a quill and ink 28 Dec 13, 03:04 AM Giana: She hesitates, "well...if you want...I could look over it after you're finished and..." she didn't want to say fix, so she searched for another word. "see if I find anything." 28 Dec 13, 03:07 AM [×] Marcos: Leans over and kisses her cheek 'Thanks, Giana, I might let you if it's not too much later, but I'm not going to ask you to do my homework either. And yeah, I know there will be mistakes, that's how the teacher know it's still me writing it," he grinned at her, showing he was being both serious and silly same time 28 Dec 13, 03:10 AM Giana: She arched an eyebrow and smirked at him. though it softened when he kissed her cheek. "Who said anything about doing your homework? I don't even do Nadya's anymore, she suddenly regained an interest in her academics a few days ago" she informed him. "She seems...better all the sudden." She laughed, "so don't go into the advanced charms theory I found in the restricted section last week...got it" she teased 28 Dec 13, 03:18 AM [×] Marcos: He slipped an arm around her shoulders and said softer "I know, I was just saying as much as I love how smart you are, I'm not trying to take advantage of it either, just so you know." He didn't release the hug as she spoke, but he looked cheerfully optomistic. "Really? Oh man, that sounds like a very good sign..." He laughed at her comments. "Well yes that too, but I meant about spelling." 30 Dec 13, 12:00 AM Giana: She smiles, shaking her head. "I don't think you're capable of taking advantage of anyone Marcos" she tells him, She nods, "she's been seeing this new guy lately and not much of anyone else. I think he's been good for her." She rolls her eyes at him and smiles, "you know they have spellcheck quills for that right?" 30 Dec 13, 12:07 AM Marcos: Purses his lips. "Let's say I don't see how I would ever take advantage of anyone I loved, I can imagine some scenarios I might otherwise." Wince at the news about the other guy and then shakes his head. "I hope she's careful then. So is that your opinion professionally?" winks as he teases her. Makes a sound with his lips "Pffft, still seems like cheating. If I put the effort in a casual mispelling shows I'm not just copying someone's work, it's really mine." 30 Dec 13, 12:10 AM Giana: She turns her head to search his eyes. "I'd say that makes you human, love" she answers easily enough. Laughing softly, she shrugs, "I don't know him well enough to have a professional opinion. He's a Slytherin, like her, in our year. His name is Caeden Goldstein, do you know anything about him?" She just shakes her head at him, a sort of sardonic smile on her face, "so spelling errors are your way of proving you did your own work?" 30 Dec 13, 12:13 AM [×] Marcos: Looks curious, but shakes his head. "Another Slytherin? Nope, I don't know many of them and that name isn't familiar. Then again, he's probably English so I wouldn't know much about him." It surprised him still so many of the English families knew each other's details. Nods however at her return comment. "Yes. Makes it clearly mine, so yeah it's my homework signature." Shrugs knowing it sounds silly 30 Dec 13, 12:17 AM Giana: She shrugs, "She seems happy, and as far as I know she isn't drinking anymore at all. She says Caeden won't let her." There is a brightness in Gia's eyes that speaks of hopefulness and relief. "You know, there's a muggle parable about a boy with a paintbrush that brought drawings to life, so he left something out of the ones he wanted to keep on paper and used that as his signature" she grins, "imperfections for creative reasons." 30 Dec 13, 12:21 AM Marcos: Eyebrows go up. "Really? Oh say I think I like him already. She needs someone to keep her sober I think." Looks confused. "Left something out? But....wait, like left a person out or part of the background or what?" Seems curious, book half open. 30 Dec 13, 12:25 AM Giana: She grins, "they're a lot alike apparently. She swears there's nothing going on but....she just seems...different." Letting it pass for the moment, she nods. "No, simpler than that, like he'd leave a line out or a small detail to keep the picture from becoming real when he didn't want to." She realizes her charms book is still in her bag and takes it out. "So if you're going to work on essay research I guess I'll work on the homework" she observes. 30 Dec 13, 12:42 AM Marcos: "How different? Like, good I assume." Seems thoughtful about that. "Ah, so like if he finished it then it would be real and he had to stop before he completed it. Cool idea, I can see that." Watches her get her book out. "Sounds good to me." 30 Dec 13, 12:50 AM Giana: She nods, "good, but weird. Like...she's always smiling, and she's got her sketchbook with her almost constantly again." She smiles softly, tenderly. "I think she's coming back." She nods, flips a few pages, "do you remember what page the reading started on?" 30 Dec 13, 12:55 AM Marcos: He looked immensely relieved about the sketchbook. "Oh really? Excellent! So she might be safe for me to talk to without sounding like it's a matter of constant worry." Laughs soft, hugs her one armed. "You still have her, Gia, that's great to hear!" Shaking his head he said "I wrote it down in my notes, that's all. Head like a seive." |

Giana: She had expected Marco wouldn't be able to let it go without setting eyes on her. In retrospect, she probably should have sent more in her note, but she was so bloody exhausted! None the less, after sending him one more note stating she needed a shower first and would meet him in half an hour, Gia had done just that, washing all of the blood out of her hair and off her skin. She might never feel clean again. She winced as the hot water, flowed over the scratches on her hands. Digging the splinters out of Luca's skin, the shards of glass, she hadn't known a spell for that. She eyed her fingertips warily. Marcos was going to overreact, she just knew it. Slipping out and into very casual clothes, she crept out. She knew who was on rounds today and if caught would likely have to bargain her way out of it. Still, this would only be worse if it kept til morning. She made it unseen however, and entered the room slowly, knowing Marcos was likely already there.
8 Jan 14, 12:03 AM
[×] Marcos: Arrives at the ROR fast, not sure what was going on but feeling like Giana was hiding something very big from him and it bothered him deeply not to be told, not knowing anything except it might have something to do with her brother. the last note got him the most and he was standing in their study room space waiting when the door opened and he dashed to the door. catching her hand and saying even before the door shut 'Gia! What is going on? Are you sure you are okay? What's g--" his eyes grew wide as he looked at her fingers seeing lines across them and seeing how she winced as he had held her too hard. The pressure dropped off instantly in remorse.
8 Jan 14, 12:05 AM
Giana: She blinked hard, almost startled by the sound of his voice. She winced when he grabbed her fingers and tried to cover it, bit off a yawn as she spoke. "I...had to go find Luca, Marco" She looks up at him with tired eyes and tries to smile. "He was in the shrieking shack, he...got into some trouble." She does yawn then, hugely and then blushes. "He needed some patching up and I had to do some of it by hand...that's all."
8 Jan 14, 12:08 AM
Marcos: His eyes widened and his voice dropped to a deep whisper, nearly horse as he said "Why didn't you ask me to help?" Feels and sounds hurt that she didn't, but it's covering a powder keg of thinking happening in his head that was barely being held in check
8 Jan 14, 12:10 AM
Giana: "It would have made things worse, Marco, not better. Luca wouldn't have appreciated my bringing someone to see him that way." She shrugged, "family is family, we do what we have to." She gives him a pointed look, thinking of what she read in his journals about what his brothers had done for him. "Right?"
8 Jan 14, 12:12 AM
[×] Marcos: Sees her look and some of the pressure goes off. "But you were looking for days, Gia, that's what you said. I could have smelled him out for you and gotten you to him fast and turned away before the end once you explained it. I would never betray your trust. And I could have been your backup if things had gone bad." Is a bit miffed, but understanding the family thing exaimines her hands as if they were precious. "Maybe I couldn't have been there for the end, but I could have helped. I would have done what you asked me to."
8 Jan 14, 12:18 AM
Giana: Not a bad idea, she acknowledged silently, but can't help feeling a bit defensive. "Two days" she clarifies, "and that's nothing." She gives him a 'yeah right' look. "You would have left me at the shrieking shack in the middle of the night alone if I'd asked?" She crosses her arms and stares at him, silently asking if she looks stupid. "He's my brother, Marcos, nothing was going to 'go bad'." Not for her anyway. Her expression softens. "Good" she clasps his hand though it stings to do so. "Then what I'm asking you to do is to let it go. This is my family, Marco. Luca, Nadya...I do what I have to do for them."
8 Jan 14, 12:24 AM
[×] Marcos: "If he was in trouble like you said better to catch it first day, right?" And hearing her words his back straightens and he looks at her with complete honesty in his face, more bothered she doesn't see he meant it. "I would have backed off yes. Sure, I would have waited at a distance in case you called, but I would have not gone in if you asked me to. I Love you. It's that simple." Her words make him wince and he looks at her hand as she makes her request he goes down on one knee, then both in front of her, worry in his face for her. Very quietly he says "All right, Gia, I wish you had told me that from the beginning. But....all right." His eyes look as if he dare not saying anything else, but he wants to.
8 Jan 14, 12:24 AM
Marcos: "If he wa sin trouble like you said better to catch it first day, right?" And hearing her words his back straightens and he looks at her with complete honesty in his face, more bohthered she doesn't se ehe meant it. "I would have backed off yes. Sure, I would have waited at a distance in case you called, but I would have not gone in if you asked me to. I Love you. It's that simple." Her words make him wince and he looks at her hand as she makes her request he goes down on one knee, then both in front of her, worry in his face for her. Very quietly he says "All right, Gia, I wish you had told me that from the begining. But....all right." His eyes look as if he dare not saying anything else, but he wants to.
8 Jan 14, 12:31 AM
Giana: She hesitates, then nods. "That's true, but I found him and everything....will be all right now." She tried hard to make that convincing, but the edge of exhaustion in her voice made any sort of conviction tricky business. She nods, "all right" she concedes, "maybe...next time...maybe." His declaration earns a soft smile. "I love you too, Marco." She looks surprised when he kneels in front of her, curious. She goes down with him, though stiffly as a result of the extended amount of time she's spent out in the cold. She lays her head on his chest and closes her eyes. "Can you just...pretend your not upset with me for a minute and...just hug me please?"
8 Jan 14, 12:39 AM
[×] Marcos: Looks but doesn't say anything, just nods, but glad when she says she loves him back. "Better. Come here, Gia," He squatted and slipped his arms around her and lifted her carrying her to the couch and set her down lightly, sitting with her and leaning back to hold her against him. "Here, love, relax with me here. Wish I had a --oh there we go." A can appeared beside him and he opened it and the smell of lavender and sandalwood hung in the air. taking her hand he softly lathered some of the stuff onto her hand and worked it in one finger at a time very gently. "Mom uses this on our hands to help cuts heal faster and not sting as much."

"Mom uses this on our hands to help cuts heal faster and not sting as much."
8 Jan 14, 12:43 AM
Giana: She nods sleepily. "Okay" then wraps her arms around him almost like a half-asleep child when he picks her up, leaning into his chest. When he lays her on the couch, she waits til he sits and then relaxes against him. The moment had taken on a sort of warm haze that made everything softer. His touch as he massages her fingers is warm, and the scent of the lavender helps her to relax further. "Feels nice" she murmurs. "Sorry I...scared you."
8 Jan 14, 12:47 AM
[×] Marcos: Likes the fact she trusts him with moving her and is careful not to push any bad spots. "Mom got us used to it. It's good stuff, the smell reminds me of being safe ironically." hesitates. "I'm sorry I didn't trust more, but it took so long to get us together I'm kind of hyper nervous about not seeing you a lot now I guess. I d-don't wan to lose you for any reason. Sorry if that makes me seem clingy." Finishes one hand and takes the other gingerly, feeling her head on his chest and smiles. "Let me do this hand then I'll recline the seat."

8 Jan 14, 12:52 AM
Giana: She snorts, but without much force behind it comes out sounding more like a squeak. "You are safe, silly." She yawns, sits up for a moment to look at him. "I'm not going anywhere, Marco. At least not for longer than a day or two." She arches an eyebrow at him before she returns to leaning against him. "Clingy? Not sure I'd know what that was like." She nods, "mm'k" she mumbles. "Whatever you want" she closes her eyes, wincing slightly when his fingers brush a cut that runs a little deeper than the others.
8 Jan 14, 12:56 AM
[×] Marcos: Secretly felt he was in danger of losing her trust earlier so doesn't say anything. "wel lthen. As long as you come back to me to recover I'll be quiet." Kisses the top of her head. "CLingy is me wanting to be around you all the day long, holding your hand or being a pillow for you when you are run raggeded." Intentionally lowers his voice each time he speaks to help her get still. Winces when she does and finishes as gently as he can. Slowly wraps one arm around her waist to hold her against him as he reclines the seat slowly so she can be more relaxed on him and then puts his other hand up to softly rub her hair .
8 Jan 14, 01:01 AM
Giana: She shakes her head. "Don't have to be quiet" she tells him. "Just don't...be mad." He explains and she smiles sleepily. "Oh...so...pretty much what you're doing now...but I like what you're doing now...so does that make me clingy?" She squirms a little bit, getting comfortable, and it never quite occurs to her she's falling asleep outside the dorm. His fingers in her hair feel amazing and she feels her body relax even further as the tension goes out of her neck and shoulders. "Marco...did you ever finish...that story?"
8 Jan 14, 01:06 AM
[×] Marcos: Smirks. "Like I can stay mad at you. I just got worried. A lot." He chuckles softly. "Only if you let me do it everyday i think. Which I wouldn't mind at all." Enjoys the moment and what all it means and then she asks and he smiles again but for another reason. "Well...let's say it's still ongoing. He is a young man, after all, he's got a long life ahead of him to ...find happiness and a feeling of purpose. But as I finish each section I can tell you more of it I guess if you really like it..."
8 Jan 14, 01:08 AM
Giana: It takes effort, but she opens her eyes again, leans up and kisses his cheek. "Don't worry, then we'll both worry, and really there's no sense in that." She giggles, "I would go crazy" she warns, "you won't like me when I'm..." another yawn, "crazy." She nods as she settles back in. "Tell me more."
8 Jan 14, 01:18 AM
[×] Marcos: "You would go crazy if I took care of you every day? Why love?" seems a bit bothered she has a issue with that one. "I'll like you anyway you are, Giana, I want to." Can't hide the feeling on that one, but keep rubbing her hair. "Well, after the kitten incident, the young man got a compliment from his master and --" continues talking for several minutes softly.
8 Jan 14, 01:20 AM
Giana: "Because taking care is....my job" He comments and she pauses, "even if I wanted to be a...healer..instead of a writer?" She listens to the sound of his voice, drifting in and out of sleep. Several minutes in, she murmurs randomly, "I wonder what ever happened to the kitten" in a barely intelligible sleep-addled voice.
8 Jan 14, 01:24 AM
[×] Marcos: "Who takes care of a caregiver, Gia? Someone who loves them." The change surprises him and he things about the scars on her fingers thinking what they mean and his face gets a bit more intense. "I'd love you even if you wanted to be an ...elephant juggler." After a few moments he grinned and whispered "Ah well next summer when he passes back through he will find out cause he will see the little girl again..."
8 Jan 14, 01:30 AM
Giana: She nods, "right, like you...and me..." The rest of the thought is lost when she yawns. "Can't juggle elephants" she argues, "no elephants." She nods in an almost comically self-satisfied manner. "Good" and then after a moment. "Marco....don't...tell Nadya about...Luca." Another yawn, "make her sad." She closes her eyes again. "I think I'll just...take a nap for a...few minutes."
8 Jan 14, 01:33 AM
[×] Marcos: Smiles when she yawns, seeing she has for once in her experience with him lost logic. "true, doubt they wanna be juggled anyway." Becomes more serious realizing this is important. "Okay Gia, I promise." and then "Yes, you go ahead... I'll wake you up later." Knowing he wasn't going to wake her up till the morning.
8 Jan 14, 02:14 AM
Giana: She nods, "no one wants to...be juggled" she agrees, "all that spinning." She nods, "m'k...don't wanna be late for..." but she never gets to what she might have missed in the morning. She goes quiet, and then her face relaxes.
8 Jan 14, 08:01 AM
Marcos: Come early morning, Marcos wakes and then sees the time on his watch. "Gia...Gia?" He smiles at her deep sleep with him and tries again with a slight nudge, caressing her cheek with one hand. "Gia? It's time to wake up, sweetheart..."
8 Jan 14, 12:21 PM
Giana: She mumbles something unintelligible in a tone that clearly says 'ten more minutes' When he brushes her cheek, however, her eyes open slowly. "M-Marcos?" She looks disoriented, "Wha--what happened...why are you in the Raven's dorm?"
8 Jan 14, 01:33 PM
Marco: "We're not in either dorm, Gia. You fell asleep on me here in the Requirement room and I didn't want to wake you cause you needed sleep. I wanted to wake you up before everyone else gets awake though." Satisfied smile. "I think you got very good sleep however..."
8 Jan 14, 02:26 PM
Giana: Still bleary eyed, she pauses. "So I slept here...all night?" Torn between frustration and being touched at his attempt to help, she sits up, "yes" she yawns, "did you sleep at all?"
8 Jan 14, 02:29 PM
Marco: Nods, a slight smile at her look. "Yes, you needed it and I wasn't about to wake you up when I saw how tired you are. Besides," he said examining one of her hands, "You needed healing time before class." He shrugged. "Some. Enough for me, but I can tell you haven't been."
8 Jan 14, 02:46 PM
Giana: She sighs, leaning up and kissing him on the cheek. "You shouldn't have done this...but...thank you." She bites her lip, looking away. "I've just been...busy...Nadya and Luca...there's a lot going on."
8 Jan 14, 02:47 PM
Marco: Kises her back. "Yes I should do this. I have to help the new healer recover don't I?" Smiles. "Besides if I can't help with them, I can make sure you are able to without hurting yourself Gia."
8 Jan 14, 02:55 PM
Giana: She grins, "right, but neither of us is going to do much good if we get caught sneaking back to our towers and land in detention" she points out, grinning cheekily at him.
8 Jan 14, 03:01 PM
Marco: Smirks. "I doubt anyone is searching the halls at this hour, everybody is asleep. And we're already on the same floor, just need to run to the doors, right?"
8 Jan 14, 03:23 PM
Giana: She nods, "I guess not" then smirks, "you can run...I think I'll walk."
8 Jan 14, 03:24 PM
Marco: Laughs with intent. "Deal, you walk, I'll do the running part." Scoops her up and runs to the door, exiting the Room and dashing off to the Ravenclaw vicinity to drop her off.
8 Jan 14, 03:31 PM
Giana: She nods, smiling. "Dea--Hey! Wha--" He picks her up and she rolls her eyes at him. "This is not what I meant!"
8 Jan 14, 03:34 PM
Marco: Grins "yes but this way I draw the fire if someone is out patrolling, not you so I'm still sort of protecting you." Runs down the hall carrying her towards the Ravenclaw dorm.
8 Jan 14, 03:46 PM
Giana: She shakes her head, "you...there are no words for you" she murmurs, half incredulous half amused.
8 Jan 14, 03:47 PM
Marco: laugh as he nears the dorm. "Yes there are, you just haven't realized them yet." Stops and sets her on her feet near the dorm door, grinning.
8 Jan 14, 03:52 PM
Giana: She laughs softly as he sets her on her feet. Leaning up, she brushes her lips over his softly. The knocker stirs suddenly and speaks. "On my way to St. Ives I saw a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kitten, cats, sacks, wives. How many were going to St. Ives?" Giana turns and grins. "That's a new one...the answer is one." She wraps her arms around his neck, hugging him quickly as the door swings open. "See you in class, love"
8 Jan 14, 03:53 PM
Marco: Kisses and hugs back, thinks the knocker is weird, turns and runs off for his own dorm thinking he did pretty decent last night even though it was tricky territory.

23 Jan 14, 12:16 AM
Giana: She sat, curled up on an overstuffed loveseat in the room of requirement. The room itself was dark, dimly lit except for a fireplace on the far side and the lamp under which she was currently situated, barely pretending to read a book on ancient mythos. She wasn't pouting as some might have supposed based on the dark, feel of the space, no, Giana was seething.
23 Jan 14, 12:22 AM
M: He knew he was in trouble, despite sending regular messages and letting her know how everything was going with Luca. Walking to the ROR he saw the door and peeked in, wincing when he ssaw the familiar room view. Stepping inside softly, he closed the door behind him and leaned against it a moment, seeing her mood. He hesitated and then walked closer saying "Giana...."
23 Jan 14, 12:26 AM
Giana: She barely resists the urge to react to the sound of his voice, keeping her eyes on the page. "Marcos" the word was clipped, challenging in a way that Giana rarely ever was.
23 Jan 14, 12:28 AM
M: Winces again at her words, slinks to the edge of the couch and kneals on the floor at her feet, one arm on the couch turned towards her looking contrite. "Go ahead, let me have it I deserve it."
23 Jan 14, 12:30 AM
Giana: She lifts her eyes to study him for several seconds. "Let you have what?" she murmurs. "Just because you voluntarily left the country with my brother, who is already on the Ministry's watch list because he's a werewolf, to assist him in tracking down and probably killing someone for which both of you could be thrown in Azkaban?" Her voice was soft, deceptively calm. "Who gets upset at a thing like that?"
23 Jan 14, 12:32 AM
M: Picks up where she left off "To avenge your sister my best friend and to keep your brother from being caught so that your family would stay intact. You just healed him up and he was willing to let me go so I did to keep him safe for you and Nadya.."
23 Jan 14, 12:37 AM
Giana: "Right" she nods, "your best friend, ex girlfriend, lover, the list goes on." She puts the book down, "and of course, it never occurred to either one of you that there might have been a better way," She gives him a pointed look, "do you know what revenge normally does, Marcos?" She hesitates a beat, though not long enough for him to answer. "It bites you in the @ss." She stares at him, "my family...." A haunted look and a rare smirk, "my family is falling apart at the seams Marcos, and all you've done is helped my brother destroy one more piece of what's left of his sanity." She crosses her arms, "do you know what happens when you kill someone? Magically speaking I mean?" She'd done the reading, snuck into the restricted section to do so. "Do you?"
23 Jan 14, 12:41 AM
M: Frowns, but doesn't interrupt."I suspect you want to tell me anyway so go ahead. I already know what revenge does, it's why I went along to keep him safe in the first place."
23 Jan 14, 12:52 AM
Giana: She can feel the anger building, making it difficult to keep a hold on her tone and volume. "You didn't even....neither of you even cared how Nadya or I would feel about this" she said softly. "Have you considered that? What its going to do to her when she realizes two of the people she cares about the most killed someone and risked their lives because of her?"
23 Jan 14, 12:59 AM
M: Now he looks more worried as this is something he can't defend. "Of course I cared! But when someone you know and care about has had their life burtely destroyed by someone who is the worst your gender can be, you want to prove you are better then that. Neither of us thought about it, we're males." He looked away with a sad face. "We react because we have to to be the men we are. I could no more stop myself long enough to think with a clear head then I could -- well, I couldn't stop. And I hope in time she would realize it was because we both felt we had not succeeded in protecting when we both were supposed to. Not that she might accept it. For what it's worth I'm sorry, Gia, but....I would risk anything for my-- y-your family." Stumbles, knowing she might have already cut him off because of his actions, can't turn his head to look at her.
23 Jan 14, 01:04 AM
Giana: She watches his eyes as he speaks. "So that's your excuse? You couldn't help going on some cross country trip with my brother and doing something crazy because you're a GUY?" An incredulous look as she shakes her head, missing the slip entirely. "Fine, then I reserve the right to be royally pissed off at you BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN" She curled up again, glaring at a spot just past him and mumbling something about bloody ridiculous testosterone.
23 Jan 14, 01:08 AM
M: Gets very quiet, not sure what to say. In a very soft and defeated voice he says quietly "Okay. I sort of realized that later." Is quiet for a full minute before he says turning slightly to look down at the cushions as his finger draws a pattern on there. "Just...um...let me know what you need me to do, Gia, when you can."
23 Jan 14, 01:13 AM
Giana: For a brief moment, the fury dims, and she looks confused. "What I need you to do? What do you mean?"
23 Jan 14, 01:19 AM
M: Glances at her, his face miserable. 'Well. Whatever I need to do to try and make things up if it's possible. Or if it's not tell me and I'll go and throw myself out a window or something. But don't-- I mean, give me a chance to try and patch things up somehow please!" Face looks very concerned about this point. "I just can't... I can't lose you. I'll do whatever I have to I promise."
23 Jan 14, 01:24 AM
Giana: She looks up at him wide-eyed, forgetting the book entirely at this point. She hadn't thought of that, had forgotten in truth that their was the relationship to consider and that she could, in fact end it if she chose to. Did she want to? Her face relaxed as it became obvious she had regressed into her own mind for almost a minute before she spoke. "You wouldn't throw yourself out a window" she points out, "Madden and Maddox wouldn't allow it." As to making it up, "I honestly have no idea how you fix something like this" she tells him, "but if you'd like to try I...guess there's no harm in that." She wasn't sure how she felt in that regard at the moment anyway, she was too angry to think clearly and too logical to make decisions when she wasn't thinking clearly.
23 Jan 14, 01:33 AM
M: A glance at the door, full on seriousness in his eyes before he looked back at her, miserable and completely honest. "Actually I can. They don't know I'm here yet and we're on the seventh. Any window would work and no one can get to me in time. I couldn't bear it if--" His voice drops off with a sob, but he fight it down, cuts himself off looking away. "I-I- want to, I really do. Anything you name it. But if I lose you...." He swallows, and his eyes do take on a bit of a dead quality, "then it would be better if it was over for me. Cause I can't go on after that. Knowing I hurt you that much isn't forgivable."
23 Jan 14, 01:40 AM
Giana: She picked up her wand where it lay beside her and pointed it at him. "Immobilus" she murmured, less abrasive than petrificus totalus, he'd still be able to move his head, and speak, but would have little in the way of movement otherwise. She looked him directly in the eyes, "promise me you won't do anything stupid like that or I swear to Merlin I will leave you like this until you come to your senses." She slid off the couch, knelt in front of him. "Of course I'm hurt" she answers, "what did you think I'd be?"
23 Jan 14, 01:46 AM
M: When she picks up the wand he winces, but doesn't resist her casting on him, feeling he deserves it. "I-I can't, Giana. The only way Nadya would even let me be friends with you was if I promised not to hurt you and I've already failed." Looks even worse, ashamed at what he did. "I swore an oath to her, but I had already told her I would get the guy back when he hurt her so bad. I couldn't resist going and it wasn't till later I realized you would be this hurt." Tear rolls down his cheek. "At first, I thought you would be miffed, but would understand I was doing it for you. I guess that was too short sighted on my part and I'm really sorry about that. I guess I don't know you as well as I'd like to." He swallowed. "My fault entirely. I guess I was already trying to be there for Luca cause he was your brother and I wanted to do anything I could for the family I want to be a part of."
23 Jan 14, 01:56 AM
Giana: She arches an eyebrow at him. "You can't promise not to hurt someone, Marco. Getting hurt is part of a relationship, people disagree, they fight, it happens. That's life." She sighs, "besides, I'm fairly sure this was not the kind of hurt Nadya was talking about." Another smirk, "well I'm definitely miffed" she agrees, though her tone lacks amusement. She stops and stares at him as what he says registers. "A...part...of?" She gives him a look as though he cannot possibly be saying what her brain has concluded he's saying.
23 Jan 14, 02:02 AM
M: Listens, sighs as well. "Maybe not, but it hurt you anyway." Tries to drop his head down and finds he can not because of the spell. Frowns down then shakes his head slightly dropping it. Very faintly says "Yes. A part of your family, Gia. Maybe I aimed too high, but I'm pretty sure I am in love with you."
23 Jan 14, 02:09 AM
Giana: "You pissed me off" she amends, "there's a difference." She was more frustrated than anything, hurt might come later, but not now. Her eyes shoot up to his so quickly she almost loses her balance. "You...you what?" She takes a deep breath, another flourish of her wand before she releases it, lets it fall. "Finite"
23 Jan 14, 02:18 AM
M: Looks surprised. "Oh. I, uh, guess I need to learn how you show that more then I guess. If you let me." She drops the spell with a big breath and he reaches out, touched her knee as the closest thing gently. "Giana, you mean more to me then you may realize, but my heart beats faster when you walk in the room, sitting next to you makes my nerves string to the ceiling, and holding your hand is nearly swoon worthy. I adore you in everyway and if I need to toss my life aside to follow you or do something for you would in a heartbeat. I love my brothers, but I'd do more for you then them."
23 Jan 14, 02:11 PM
Giana: She stayed where she was, listening, processing, studying him as closely as she might an assignment or a new discovery. As he continues speaking, her eyes widen until she's staring at him with a thoroughly bewildered expression. "Y-you...what...really...why?" She can't fathom what he's telling her, that he'd love her so much...it doesn't compute. The anger has evaporated, replaced with an innocent sort of confused awe.
23 Jan 14, 02:16 PM
Marco: Smiles very slightly. "And you wonder why I can't think straight." A sigh, before nodding at her look. "I can't pinpoint one single thing, there are to omany to choose from, but that was why I was so worried at the dance. I don't want your family to tell me no. And that would be a lot of why when Luca asked me, I went."
23 Jan 14, 02:33 PM
Giana: She bit her lip, looked startled for a moment. "Luca...asked...you to go?" That spoke volumes, more than volumes. It meant her brother trusted Marcos, and that meant the world to her. She wasn't sure what she thought had happened, but that hadn't been it. "Wait..." as though something had just clicked into place. "Tell you no...about..." wide-eyed again as she falls silent.
23 Jan 14, 02:38 PM
Marco: He nods, surprised she hadn't thought that was the way it had happened. "It's not like I would force myself on your brother, Gia, I barely know him. And I really was a bit scared about...well I just wanted to know he was on my side if it came down to it." He looked away now fully blushing, knowing he was being foolish. He nodded, afraid to see her face. "If things kept going so well yeah. Seems I needn't have worried since I am good at screwing things up." He wiped his eyes with both hands, wondering how he would ever figure out how to fix this and if it was even possible
23 Jan 14, 02:40 PM
Giana: She sits as if frozen for a couple of minutes, not speaking, not moving, just staring at him as though any moment someone is going to come in and tell her this is all some elaborate joke. He wipes at his eyes and that gets her attention. "A-are y-you crying?"
23 Jan 14, 02:42 PM
Marco: Hearing her words, he shook his head with the usual guy bit about crying coming to the fore though it was clear he was making it up. "Me? No no, just like, bug in my eyes. Yeah." and then put his hands down, wiping them off as unobtrusively as he could. "No, Maddox is the one who cries. Not me." Realizes how stupid he is being and sneaks a peek to see if she is buying it, doubtful since she is way smart.
23 Jan 14, 02:48 PM
Giana: A disbelieving look as she watches him, "right, a bug, in a secret room on the seventh floor of a stone castle." She shakes her head, and then her voice softens. "Marcos....I just...why didn't you at least tell me? You know, before you went running off to Bulgaira?"
23 Jan 14, 02:54 PM
Marco: Mutters "glad you saw it then, that's all good." then shakes his head at himself till she speaks again. Blows out his air turns his face towards her, cheeks still wet but no tear lines. "Cause I didn't want to put pressure on you to choose or be influenced by what I was feeling. If you liked me that much it was one thing, but I wasn't going to add to what you were going through. And really now, after the way you were acting when it was Just Luca going through a nasty spot and you wouldn't let me help?" He frowned. "What kind of person would I be if I heaped more for you to think about on you? You were already struggling with more then your share." 'And I didn't want Nadya to hear it either...'
23 Jan 14, 03:03 PM
Giana: That earned him a small, almost grudging smile, but she frowned again when he continued. "Didn't want me to be influenced?" Then after a moment, "you mean like spending hours worrying instead of studying, missing meals and certain classes because I didn't want to have to tell my sister I knew where Luca had gone?" A sardonic look that tells him exactly how well that plan had turned out.
23 Jan 14, 03:10 PM
Marco: Sudden dawning on his mind, visible in his face. "Oh! You meant about me leaving! And I thought you meant--" Frustrated sound, wipes arm across cheeks having forgotten he was concealing it. "No, I didn't tell you when we were leaving cause he asked-- and we left the next moment. I didn't have a chance, he was in a frightful hurry. But I tried to write a lot of notes to you everyday, but he never stopped much really." He didn't want to tell her how lean those days were and how much travel every moment really meant just that.
23 Jan 14, 03:15 PM
Giana: "Of course I...wait, what did you think I meant?" She frowns, that does sound like Luca, especially when he was angry, so she doesn't comment. "Right, fair enough I guess."
23 Jan 14, 03:20 PM
Marco: And he had sought to keep this out of sight for so long! And now it was all unraveling; might as well since she was upset with him that all the closets were opened right? Right? Somehow he doubted that. "How I feel about you. It was what we were talking about..." Gah, this romance stuff was very hard to do. "Sorry it turned out that way, it just happened so quickly then there was barely any time. Your brother is very driven sometimes." Can se eit reflected in his sisters as well.
23 Jan 14, 03:30 PM
Giana: "So wait" she says softly. "You were hiding your feelings because you didn't want to stress me out?" A frustrated look, "what else have you not told me?"
23 Jan 14, 03:35 PM
Marco: "No not--well i guess at the end I did say that. I only hid them cause I didn't want to influence you. I wanted to make sure you had the time you wanted to see if anything built up. The stress came along later." Looks a bit frustrated as he hears her second part knowing those were death knells he was hearing. Very sad look. "Nothing. I've told you all my deepest secrets, Gia, I just didn't want to -- oh gah this all sounds so wrong outloud. It used to make sense." gets sadder.
23 Jan 14, 03:39 PM
Giana: "I thought you said relationships were about trust" she point out. "How am I supposed to trust you if every time you don't think I can handle something you keep it from me?" That made absolutely no sense to her. She tilts her head, "It makes absolutely no sense" she argues, "how is this supposed to work if the rules only apply to me?"
23 Jan 14, 03:47 PM
Marco: Stares at her, mouth open, wondering how things sank this badly so fast and with no idea what to say. "I...but..." Then it hits him. "But you didn't want to tell me anything when Luca was down either and all I wanted to do was help make things easier. You didn't want to tell me anything really then either. And I know it was family, but I would have backed off." Regretfully climbs to his feet, seeing this is only going to get worse. "I-I'm sorry I screwed everything up so b-bad, Gia, I only meant to helpp-p..."
23 Jan 14, 03:49 PM
Giana: She stands when he does, arms crossed. "So you're going to put my keeping my famlily's secrets for their safety in the same category as you keeping your feelings about /me/ from me because you were afraid I couldn't handle it?" She relents, but only slightly at the look in his eyes as he speaks. "I know you were trying to help" she answers, "but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. How am I supposed to trust you to be honest with me?"
23 Jan 14, 03:55 PM
Marco: Closes his eyes as the tears threaten again. She speaks slapping his words back at him and he doesn't know anything else to say what might help. "I d-don't know what to say, I'm not as smart as you are, Gia, I'm just a g-guy..." And then one little nagging thought pops in his mind and he looks at it, eyes growing a tad wider. Surely that would lead to only worse things? he struggled over the thought for a minute, clearly torn about something in his mind visually. Very quietly he said "If you can't trust me, you can always make me take the vow."
23 Jan 14, 03:59 PM
Giana: She feels herself softening slightly, she can't stand to see people cry. She stands there, contemplating what to do next until he speaks again, and she freezes for a moment before she answers. "Okay, first, a vow takes three people, and who do you suppose we're going to get for something like that?" she gives him a look, "and second, are you out of your bloody mind? That spell will kill you if you break it."
23 Jan 14, 04:01 PM
Marco: Turns away, unable to stop the tears at the sound of her words. "I don't know I just... I had to say something. And I know, but you'd have to trust me then." Sounds miserable.
23 Jan 14, 04:04 PM
Giana: She reaches out, takes his arm. "Trust takes time" she tells him softly, "especially to rebuild when you break it" she moves around until she can see his face, realizes that he's crying. "Some things you can't wave your wand to fix, Marco. The cost is too high."
23 Jan 14, 04:10 PM
Marco: Wipes his face as she speaks, only meets her eyes after that. "Giana, I love you. If you decide to give me a chance, I'll do my best. But if you don't--" closes eyes again, unable to look at her eyes, voice drops a lot "I guess I will understand."
23 Jan 14, 04:14 PM
Giana: "Hey" she wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him tightly. "I love you too, you know" She pulls back slightly to look at his eyes, reaches up and brushes his cheeks with her thumb. "I'm right pissed at you right now, but if I can forgive Nadya for nearly giving me a heart attack, and Luca for nearly killing himself and disappearing for weeks at a time" she takes a deep breath. "Then I can forgive you for being a well-intentioned idiot" She reaches up, brushes his hair out of his eyes. "Everyone makes mistakes, Marco."
23 Jan 14, 04:23 PM
Marco: A lurch when she hugs him and says the words, eyes popping open to look at her in disbelief. Her words pass into his mind and he fumbles for speach, unable to believe for a moment 'R-r-really? Even after all...?" Feels his heart going like a trip hammer in his chest. "Your-r sure?" probes the sore spot like an idiot, partly not understanding why she would give him a second chance. " I am an idiot compared to you, Giana. Maybe I need to wear a leash so you can keep me better under control." Refers back to the dog trick jokes they made a long time ago on the train. Tenatively smiles, then eyes go soft himself. "I don't think I've told you enough today yet gia, what an amazing woman you are and how flipping lucky I am that you actually care about this boy. I'm so sorry I made you doubt me." puts his arms around her in return and kisses each of her eyelids very gingerly before he whispers to her "I swear I will do better. I love you with all my heart, Giana Valerio, with all of me."
23 Jan 14, 04:35 PM
Giana: A cheeky sort of smile. "Really" she says simply, She nods, "wouldn't have said it if I wasn't." She pulls a face when he mentions the leash. "I'm not interested in controlling you, Marco" she assures him. She smiles at him, leaning up, she brushes her lips over his. "Just don't do it again, okay?"
23 Jan 14, 04:38 PM
Marco: Smirks. "Still, sometimes I might need a tug to keep me out of trouble. Please don't hesitate, okay?" Kisses lightly back and nods fervently. "I won't. I can't risk losing you , Giana, it'd kill me inside." gives her a tentative, much more kiss with sheer gratitude in her reaction full in it, arms tighten around her a smidge.
23 Jan 14, 04:42 PM
Giana: Relaxing slightly, relieved in the wake of her anger that he's home and in one piece, so when he kisses her again, she doesn't resist. Relief palpable as she responds to him, tightening her grip and holding him close to her. She had missed him so much, and her emotions were high, almost overwhelmingly so.
23 Jan 14, 11:23 PM
M: Feeling her respond he could almost have wept for sheer relief, but instead tries to put how much he's missed her into it, kissing long before a natural spot to end comes up. "Um wow...Okay, not going anywhere ever again."
24 Jan 14, 12:49 AM
Giana: She smiles, a soft, sardonic look. "What am I going to do with you, Marcos Jimenez?" She nods, "better not, and no throwing yourself over any towers either." She bites her lip, "come here" she takes his hand and pulls him gently in the direction of the couch and her bag, she pulls out a decent-sized stack of papers. "Everything you missed, I went around and got them for you." She gives him a shy look.
24 Jan 14, 12:54 AM
M: "Moi?" Gives a tired chuckle half from stress and half because he's only been back an hour or so. "Whatever you want, I doubt I can resist much right now anyway." Follows her with raised eyebrow. When she hands him the papers his eyebrows go up at the size of the stack and then he slipped an arm around her middle and pulled her close for a kiss on her cheek. "Merlin you are good. Thank you very much! I guess I ought to get started on stuff, going to be a few days before I feel caught up I bet."
24 Jan 14, 01:53 AM
Giana: She sees the tired look, recognizes it as familiar. "Come on" she sat down on the sofa, pulled him down with her. "No stressing about homework tonight" she murmurs, "tonight you rest." She brushed her fingers over his cheek. "Please?"
24 Jan 14, 01:59 AM
M: He didn't resist her pull, but he verbally tried. "Oh um, I should probably go tell my brothers I am back and all, though I do feel sleepy. I hadn't been sleeping well in awhile," giving her a guilty glance. He had been far too worried about her acceptance then to be able to sleep well all this last week, but he sat down beside her without much more then that. "Um. Well...I guess you are right. I probably should try at least." As her fingers went over his cheek he relented completely. "Yes Gia, I'll try." He yawned slightly because of that and settled beside her not sure whether she would let him put a hand on her lap or lie with her as he had held her weeks ago while she slept.
24 Jan 14, 02:53 AM
Giana: She nodded, "you should, but I think they'll be okay til the morning" her expression radiated a twinge of vulnerability. "I know they missed you too, but could you just...stay...for a while?" She had missed him, stressed over him, worried about it, incessantly all week and now he was her and she just...needed to reassure herself he was okay. She thought about just laying down with him, but realized that would be much easier on a...and then suddenly, where there had been nothing, there was a bed, strongly resembling one from the dorm. She blushed, embarrassed at having her thoughts so clearly demonstrated. \
24 Jan 14, 03:05 AM
M: He nodded at her words and was opening his mouth to speak when she gave him a look which arrested his attention. Immediately relenting he nodded saying "Oh! Oh certainly!" Smiles at her sheepishly. Then sees her expression change and turns his head seeing a bed appear. Raises his eyebrows and glances back at her very surprised then realizes she isn't thinking that way. "Well, that will be a lot more comfortable." Holds her hand as he stands and helps her up then slips his jacket off, pulls some stuff from his pockets and puts them in a coat pocket.
24 Jan 14, 03:13 AM
Giana: She flushes darker, staring at the floor for several seconds. "U-um..y-y-yes" she manages, "th-that's what I...th-thought." He takes his jacket off and she realizes she's still in the sweater and jeans she'd had on since after class, definitely not sleeping attire. Ah well, he'd seen her in a bikini, and this wasn't much different, Still, the idea of sleeping with him half-dressed was another idea all together. "M-Marco" then an idea strikes her and she changes course. "Have you ever slept as a tiger before?"
24 Jan 14, 03:19 AM
M: he was just finishing getting those things off (cause stuff in your pockets while you slept were nasty feeling on the legs the next day) when she asked him and he turned looking to her and then smiled. "I have and if it helps I can do that for you, love." He hesitated and then knowing how hard it was going to be to sleep next to her in a bed with his paws to himself he added "It will cost you one kiss and possible a cat rub for a few minutes to help my mind relax, but it's not something I suspect you would object to." Stepping up to her he slid his hands around her middle and kissed her for a full minute, relishing her touch and feelings before he let go again. "Thank you, Giana, for everything."
24 Jan 14, 03:25 AM
Giana: She nodded, "deal" she murmured, feeling a bit calmer. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back and feeling her cheeks warm as the rest of her tingled. "You're welcome, love." She smiled, "it'll be like having my own personal stuffed animal" she teased, though realistically stuffed animals didn't breath...or purr...and they definitely weren't anatomically correct. She bit her lip at that thought and shook her head before motioning for him to get on with it, she'd feel better about stripping down when he couldn't talk.
24 Jan 14, 03:41 AM
M: He laughed. "Much warmer then any old stuffed animal I promise. Under covers or over, Gia? I don't want you getting cold either..." Stepping over to the bed while she answered, he nodded at her choice and then pulled the covers back before sliding under the covers dressed (except for his shoes he kicked off under the bed) and then transformed, taking up roughly half the bed facing out the other side, end bent his head back to watch her
24 Jan 14, 03:47 AM
Giana: "Sleeping with a tiger" she mumbled, "and Nadya and Luca say I don't have enough adventure in my life." She looked away from him as she slid out of her shoes, then unbuttoned her jeans, siding them over her hips and then stepping out of them. Next came the shirt, over her head before she crawled into bed and under the covers with him. "all right, I owe you a rub down, yes?"
24 Jan 14, 03:50 AM
M: Seeing her undress was rather....exciting actually, though he laid his tiger head back before she slipped in behind him. he tried to nod his head up and down, which was a bit harder when lying on one's side, but he managed and waited till she ran her hands through his fur before he gave a purr. To be honest, the image of her stripping down and then feeling her legs and arms behind him as she snuggled close made it easier to purr then normal as he thought about what it would be like to be in his normal form...
24 Jan 14, 03:54 AM
Giana: It was a bit strange, this moment, but she was willing enough to oblige. Settling behind him, she started at his head, running her fingers through the fur behind his ears before drifting down his neck and back. He was soft under her fingers, and she giggled when he purred. She hesitated, then leaned up, brushing her lips across his left ear, wondering if it would react like a normal cat's.
24 Jan 14, 03:59 AM
M: Her giggle convinced him this was definitely the way to go, but her fingers across his body had his eyes closing early on. One ear flickered when she kissed it, turning and flopping down. He was careful not to push up with his paws anywhere near her hands though since his claws were large and sharp. Instead he did kneed the air in front of him some and the bed under him, enjoying helping her explore and become more comfortable with physically being so close...
24 Jan 14, 04:01 AM
Giana: She grinned when his ear twitched, relaxing again as she ran her fingers over him, she pressed her cheek to his back and sighed. "You /are/ warm" she pressed her body to his, snuggling up. "Guess there's no hope for a goodnight kiss" she joked, "I'll have to give you one in the morning."
24 Jan 14, 04:07 AM
M: Being in bed with a nearly naked girl he felt fully head over heels with was more then tempting, it was giving him a reaction even in tiger form, something she could not see thankfully. Feeling her snuggling up he could feel her skin against him, loving the intimate feel of her. he kept up the purr though it was not natural for the type of tiger he was. He did give a cat snort at her joke and let his head get still, trying to forget how much he wanted to change and take her to new and much more gloroious places in her experience as he tried to drfit off...
24 Jan 14, 04:12 AM
Giana: She closed her eyes, relaxed fully against him and sighed. "Sweet dreams, Marcos" she murmurs. The vibrations of his purrs sent tingles through her skin, relaxing and yet somehow not also. Nonetheless, she yawned. "Glad you're back" she goes silent and within minutes she's gone.
24 Jan 14, 04:16 AM
M: When he woke in the morning, Marcos didn't miss the feel of a leg and arm over his body and a opening of the eyes told him what form for sure. He took a good whiff of her scenet, finding it very enticing and knew what he wanted to do. Changing, he soon found himself clothes, with a near naked Giana wrapped over him and cuddling closer as he changed in her sleep. Grinning, he closed his eyes and breathed deep, enjoying a very personal moment and hoping it wasn't the last time either. He did manage to slip one arm around her waist before he relaxed, his eyes closed as he thought about what he was feeling and where on her beautiful frame...
24 Jan 14, 04:20 AM
Giana: Her first moments of semi-consciousness were characterized by a very warm feeling. Her skin was...it was then she registered the feeling of being wrapped around someone, and yet even in her groggy state, her brain understood it must have been Marcos. She opened her eyes slowly, wondering at what point in the night he'd changed back. Opening one eye hesitantly, she realized he was still asleep. After a moment's hesitation, she snuggled closer, pressing her cheek to his chest. So this was what it felt like, she realized, to be with someone this way.
24 Jan 14, 04:30 AM
M: When he felt her stir slowly, he relaxed, feeling to see what she might do and feeling her snuggle closer despite her state of undress made a warm feeling run through him. He allowed himself another minute of slow breathing before he began to make the small signs of waking up, including tightening his grip on her slowly, in stages. When he felt like it he blinked his eyes a few times, as if getting a grip on the feeling and then turned his head towards her still blinking before murrmuring a soft "morning" before he laid his head against hers and ran his hand up and down her back a bit as if adding to that welcome.
24 Jan 14, 04:36 AM
Giana: She felt him shift, realized he was waking up, and she moved her head to look into his eyes as they opened, the feel of his hands on her bear skin doing strange things to the way she felt. Still, when he spoke she smiled. "Good morning, Marcos" she leans up and kisses him, "said I would."
24 Jan 14, 04:38 AM
M: Kisses back, not minding one bit. Pretends to get more alert. "Ah Merlin, that may be the most plesant way to wake up ever in the history of people, Morning, my beautiful raven. Sleep well? I didn't scratch you or anything did I?"
24 Jan 14, 04:43 AM
Giana: She yawned, rubbing at her eyes and then shaking her head. "I don't think so" she murmured. "Guess you changed back in your sleep or something." She nods, "I slept very well" and then she focuses on him. "Did you?"
24 Jan 14, 04:52 AM
M: He nodded "Good." He smiled at her. "Wonderful, I slept like an angel was watching over me." kisses her cheek softly still running his hand over her bare back. "Man, how am I ever going to be worthy of you, you amazing woman? I could lie here all day with you like this."
24 Jan 14, 04:56 AM
Giana: She rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. She bit her lip, "we could actually, its Sunday" It was tempting, she thought, to stay like this. "But unfortunately someone has to go tell Maddox and Madden you survived your adventure with my brother."
24 Jan 14, 04:59 AM
M: He sighed even as she corrected herself. "And as much as you would fill my heart with delight to agree to stay, I do have a lot of work to get caught up on I'm afraid. If it was just in the dorm I'd do my homework under the covers and not get out. But I suspect I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything but you like this." He raised a finger from his other hand with a slight smile. "And you don't know how much it took for me to admit that, love, but you drive my senses crazy. Last night I think embedded your scent in my mind forever and I love it..." refering to his tiger senses.

4 Mar 14, 10:42 PM
Marc: getting up from the table, pockets rather full with two sandwiches and several apples for later, marcos turned and looked to the Ravie table half hopefully she was near to being done.
4 Mar 14, 10:49 PM
Giana: She felt his eyes before she saw them, and her answering look said as much. She hadn't been terribly hungry to begin with, still mulling over the events of the night before and this morning. After a moment, she stands, and crosses the all until she's standing in front of him. "Waiting for someone?" she says in a soft voice, conscious of so many people in the room and still wary of it despite her easy with him specifically. She offers a soft smile.
4 Mar 14, 10:51 PM
Marc: holds out his hand to see if she will take it. "I the answer will be 'always' for a very long eternity, Giana," he smiles softly and adds "I was kind of hoping to take a break from the piles of notes for a little while if you can stand me for a bit?" teasing sound in his voice, but a twinge of remembered seriousness from last night still there
4 Mar 14, 10:58 PM
Giana: A moment's hesitation before she slides her hand into his, enjoying the warmth of it, and the feeling of safety when it comes. "I'll take that as a yes then" There is a shift in the eyes, as though some of the innocence has been chipped away by the previous night's events, or at the very least, as if her guard as been partially re-errected as a result. "What did you have in mind?"
4 Mar 14, 11:00 PM
Marc: He nodded as she took his hand and his eyes lit up again as he squeezed it with affection. "Whatever you would like. Talking or walking or just laying around quiet. Unless there is something you wanted to do that is, maybe something I can help you with? I just was hoping for your company, anyway you'd be willing."
4 Mar 14, 11:01 PM
Giana: She looked up, studied his eyes, but then glanced around, still conscious of an audience. "Let's get out of here" she suggested, "and then I'm sure we can figure something out."
4 Mar 14, 11:02 PM
Marc: Nodding at a glance towards the tables he led the way into the hallway and turned right at random. "Why were they looking? It wasn't like I wasn't at breakfast so everyone should know I'm back from Madden I would think."
4 Mar 14, 11:14 PM
Giana: She sighs, "considering I didn't go back to the dorm last night, I think it got everyone talking and...they're all curious." She looked very embarrassed by this, blushing and seeming bothered.
4 Mar 14, 11:17 PM
Marc: He nearly froze in place, his mouth dropping open. This had simply not occured to him! "Well at dinner I'll spread the word we talked the whole time and nothing happened except we fell asleep. They shouldn't be talking about you!" The knight in him wanted to protect her rep as well as her of course. Now he felt bad for having given her more stress. "Or if you want I can tell them you were mad at me for leaving and we had to talk it out as well as me tell you what all happened with your brother and not tell them what actually."
4 Mar 14, 11:22 PM
Giana: She shakes her head, "don't, you'll only get them speculating on why I was mad or something equally awful." She wrinkles her nose and sighs. "It can't be helped, I'll just have to deal." With all of the comments from the other girls about how it was 'about time' down to the more snide ones about wondering which sister he'd enjoyed more. Already stressed, she'd nearly hexed the seventh year who had let that one slip.
4 Mar 14, 11:29 PM
Marc: Looking sorry he said as they walked "Man, I feel bad though. Tell me if at any time you need me to say something, all right? That's wrong of them to make up and dream what they want about you and me..." She defintely was above their stories. "Don't let them get to you, Giana! You are better then all those gossipers together! I know that!" A part of him of course sort of wished they had, but he knew she wasn't ready for that and he wasn't going to push her for anything now.
4 Mar 14, 11:32 PM
Giana: She offers him a hesitant smile and her grip tightens on his hand. "You shouldn't. I'm glad you came to talk to me when you got back." She shakes her head, "I've already told Nadya and Luca nothing happened, so things are good on my end." She stops, leans up and brushes her lips over his. "Let it go okay? For me?"
4 Mar 14, 11:37 PM
Marc: "How could I not? You mean more to me then anything or anyone, Gia. Well, you heard me explain." He blew out the air in his lungs remembering that part and how close to a disaster that had been. "Luca all recovered? I can't believe how much energy he has..." But when she kissed him he bowed his head, his other hand catching hers and kissing her hand on the back saying "Yes, m'lady, as you say." His shining eyes turned up at her, remembering when she gave him the scarf.
4 Mar 14, 11:44 PM
Giana: "Because you should never feel guilty for doing the right thing, whatever the consequences might be." She shrugs, "Hard to tell yet. I only saw him for a few minutes before breakfast, and he didn't really feel like talking." He kissed her hand and she softened slightly. "You are silly" she accused, but there was a wistfulness in her voice as she said it. Aware the hall would be empty for at least a few more moments, she gave him a serious look and admitted softly "I missed you"
4 Mar 14, 11:49 PM
Marc: Shaking his head at Luca's raw power in his other form, he silently decided not to say anything more on that. 'I'm silly for you then, love," he smiled back perfectly serious in that moment, "I thought about you everyday, I swear, it was hard to be gone so long. How could I manage without the fact I could send you those notes at a bare minimum I have no idea." Now his face turned wistful. "So what would you like to do, Giana?"
4 Mar 14, 11:57 PM
Giana: She listened, taking it all in and considering his words, at his question, she finally spoke. "I...I'm not sure really. We could go to the astronomy tower or back to the RoR if you like. The RoR would probably be warmer." And there wasn't any likelihood of anyone nosing around either.
4 Mar 14, 11:59 PM
Marc: He didn't consider it long after that temperature comment. "I choose warm. I've been cold a lot recently and the wind I must say is wicked. The Requirement room it is." he turned his steps that way walking beside her and remembering the dance where he first learned about how out of his league she was.
5 Mar 14, 12:25 AM
Giana: She nods, "Okay" her voice is still soft, thoughtful. She walks with him, hand still in his, lost in her own thoughts.
5 Mar 14, 12:27 AM
Marc: When they reach the door he drops her hand long enough to walk back and forth til lthe door appears then opens the door for her motioning for her to enter first. "After you, love,"
5 Mar 14, 12:38 AM
Giana: She enters the room, turns back and smiles. "Very warm in here" she announces. "Feeling better?"
5 Mar 14, 12:42 AM
Marc: Enters, sees the fireplace going and smiles. "Yes, that's nice!" he shook his head as he sat down and added "I wish I had thought to grab a coat when he came for me. You can only spend so much fur time before you have to get out of it. Such a stupid mistake."
5 Mar 14, 12:44 AM
Giana: She frowned, "you went without a coat?" That bothers her, "are you feeling all right?" She studies his eyes as though looking for signs of illness.
5 Mar 14, 12:48 AM
Marc: Nods without thinking and then looks up and catches her worry. "Oh I'm good now that I'm back, I switched back and forth for fur so it wasn't like I was cold the whole time, but that wind out there is fierce." makes a point in his mind of going to warn Lucas not to mention they were in snow the whole time. "He was in a hurry and I knew if I waited he'd be gone on his own."
5 Mar 14, 12:52 AM
Giana: Still studying him, "promise?" She settles into one of the overstuffed couches, noting the Gryffindor-esqu decor. "Well, we can see who picked the room" she teased. She sighs, "I know, and don't think I'm not grateful he wasn't I just..." SHe goes silent as though lacking the words
5 Mar 14, 01:00 AM
Marc: Nodding, "I tried to alternate as much as I could but really, the longer I stay a tiger the harder it is to remember to go back after awhile. It's hard to explain really." Glances up and laughs "hey now!" points "There is a bookcase in here!" Grins and lays down on the couch so his feet are in the air over the end of the couch and he's up on his elbows looking at her. "Yeah I know. I understand. I wish it could have happened differently."
5 Mar 14, 01:04 AM
Giana: She laid back on the far side, wedged into the corner, inviting him with her body language to lay his head on her lap if he wished. She'd rather liked that when it happened. She shook her head at him, "Filled with quidditch manuals no doubt" she teased back. She looks at him, alarmed. "You can forget to change back?"
5 Mar 14, 01:10 AM
Marc: Seeing the invitation he wiggled forward and put his head in her lap with a relieved sigh, knowing he really was better with her. As she teased him he grinned and put one hand on her leg in front of him since he was facing away from her (the other way probably being too uncomfortable for her) "Might be, I have no idea. I've been reading all morning anyway. Thanks, I needed all those notes I think." Hears her questin but not the alarm. "Well yeah. Magic takes the shape of whatever shape you keep it in. If you transformed a bird into a mouse in a night it might be thinking more about cheese then flying. The longer the time, the harder it is. being a tiger is fun, that means you have to think to remember who you are after a whole day."
5 Mar 14, 01:13 AM
Giana: She frowns, "So was it hard for you, being human again this morning?" She feels somewhat guilty for making him sleep that way, and makes a note not to do it again.
5 Mar 14, 01:16 AM
Marc: He shook his head without removing it from her lap. "Oh no, I'm human, the example I gave was a simple mind. Like, a human mind holds out a lot longer, but it's not good to tempt it either so I'd trade off in 12 hour shifts or three hours on, three off like. I could stay a tiger a few days and it would be harder, but not extremely yet. I wouldn't risk more then that. So yeah a coat would have been good. Haven't you noticed how rough Lucas looks after being one for a few days?"
5 Mar 14, 01:18 AM
Giana: Reaching down, she absently ran her fingers through his hair as she listened, considering this. "What changes?" she asked after a moment, "In your head when you're a tiger."
5 Mar 14, 01:23 AM
Marc: he made a soft sound of please as her hand moved into his hair and said softly "Well. Smells for one, there's a whole world of senses out there a tiger uses, not as much as a dog though. Then the eyesight which you can see so well in the dark. Then you have a kind of springiness in your body, making leaping feel good! All those senses come into your mind making it hard to think of things like math and logic sometimes unless you concentrate a lot. It's--" he shrugged best he could "just really fun and cool to play like that, use your muscles and all."
5 Mar 14, 01:25 AM
Giana: She thought she understood. It must have been nice to surrender temporarily to more basic instincts. Merlin knew she'd have liked to have done with logic for a while herself. "Do you prefer being a tiger?"
5 Mar 14, 01:29 AM
Marc: He smiled to himself. "Some things it's more fun to be, but no." He rolled onto his back so he was looking up into her eyes and a hand came up and touched her cheek, very gently. "I can think of someone who makes it easy to come back. There are some things as a guy I have to say out weigh the rest." Not to mention he hadn't experienced mating season yet and that was surely going to be a problem; least humans didn't do that!
5 Mar 14, 01:32 AM
Giana: Another run of her fingers through his hair before she answered, blushing and biting her lip a moment. She wondered not for the first time how much he missed the things she wasn't ready to give him yet. He touched her cheek and she leaned into it, eyes closing gently. "Oh really?"
5 Mar 14, 01:37 AM
Marc: He nodded, enjoying the feel of her fingers. "Oh yes. There's plesure in seeing the trully beautiful and a sort of thrill when you know someone likes you back the same. You've given me some chill bumps up my spine a few times now and right now I feel safe and protected by you right now, even though you are only touching my hair. I think you have a touch which is sort of magic in it's own right, love..."
7 Mar 14, 10:50 PM
Giana: She blushed, shaking her head at him which had the unfortunate side effect of pushing her hair into her face. An incredulous look down at him, "Chills?" Skeptical now as though she's trying to figure out what he's up to "I think you exaggerate."
7 Mar 14, 10:54 PM
Macros: He nodded. "Chills, not exaggerating." He smiled at her expression and nodded on her lap. "Defintely feels magical even if it isn't the kind we learn."
7 Mar 14, 11:08 PM
Giana: She laughs softly, taking to messing up his hair rather than running her fingers through it just because she can. "Like undiscovered magic" she teased softly, smilling
7 Mar 14, 11:24 PM
Marco: Feels she is messing with it and doesn't find he minds much. "Ha, yes something like that. Or maybe I just didn't have the words to put to it before." Grins. "I'm amazed you don't know how awesome you are sometimes. Glad I know."
7 Mar 14, 11:26 PM
Giana: "Words" she repeats, "maybe we should get you a thesaurus"She leans back, takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, not commenting on the last part.
7 Mar 14, 11:32 PM
M: Watches her face. "Okay." Not sure what to say as he can see she is having an issue with something and he doesn't know how to get them past it. "Hmm, something else to talk about maybe? Unless you want to talk about something on your mind."
7 Mar 14, 11:35 PM
Giana: A startled look as she stiffens. "There's nothing on my mind really" she murmurs, at least, nothing concrete. Pieces of thoughts floated around, abstract and disquieting. "I was just thinking about Luca and Nadya, wondering if they're staying out of trouble like I always do."
7 Mar 14, 11:44 PM
A: Feels her stiffen, her hands stopping. "Um okay. I-- do you want to go looking for them? Or just curious?" Looks painfully earnest wanting to do something for her but not knowing what.
7 Mar 14, 11:47 PM
Giana: She shakes her head, "doubtful they're together" she points out. Luca is probably with his girlfriend who he swears isn't his girlfriend and Nadya is probably with Caeden somewhere
7 Mar 14, 11:51 PM
B: Well that was a dead end, he thought. "Okay. Do you like his girlfriend?" He already knew what she thought of Nadya's boy which still gave him a twitch to think about. Searching for something else to say he asked "Did you want to talk or just sit together?"
7 Mar 14, 11:55 PM
Giana: She smirks, "of course, she's one of the cousins. You've met Seth right? Its one of his older sisters." She lowered her head, curtaining his face with her hair. "What do you want to talk about, love?"
7 Mar 14, 11:59 PM
C: Something which makes you feel more comfortable. You seem unsettled and I'm kind of wondering what I can do to help you feel better. Usually it helps to talk it out..."

17 Jul 14, 01:23 AM
Gia: She was quite literally pacing the RoR. The note she'd sent him through the broach had said simply RoR ASAP URGENT. She glanced at the door, unable to stand still.
17 Jul 14, 01:25 AM
Marcos: Marcos came hurrying in, wearing a bathing suit with a towel wrapped around his middle, shoes in his hand, t shirt on inside out and a hat. "What!" he said, a worried sound to his voice
17 Jul 14, 01:32 AM
Giana: The volume startled her, but rather than respond right off, she took several long strides across the room and threw herself at him, hugging him tightly and mumbling in barely discernible Russian, clearly upset.
17 Jul 14, 01:33 AM
Marcos: Surprised, Marcos dropped the shoes and put his arm around her, holding her tight. The Russian bothered him and he knew he would need to learn at least some words in it. "I've got you, Gia, I'm here."
17 Jul 14, 01:36 AM
Giana: When she pulled back it was clear she'd been crying. It took several seconds for her to get control, and when she did, she took a deep breath. "Marcos..." she murmured in a small voice. "You...you love me right?"
17 Jul 14, 01:38 AM
Marcos: MOre alarmed at the crying, marcos quickly dropped to a squat, taking up both of her hands, looking up into her eyes. "Yes! I do! What can I do to help? What happened, Gia?"
17 Jul 14, 01:41 AM
Giana: She wiped at her eyes with one hand. "Do you trust me?" she asked, wrapping her fingers around his and looking into his eyes with a serious expression.
17 Jul 14, 01:43 AM
Marcos: He looked surprised, then gave her a slight frown. "I think you know that, Gia, otherwise us cats would still be a huge secret, remember?" He winked, but it bothered him she felt she had to ask. He trusted her with his life and an akzaban sentence, how could she think he didn't trust her entirely with his future?
17 Jul 14, 01:47 AM
Giana: She laughed, a soft, odd-sounding laugh that sounded exhausted more than anything else. "Good, because I'm about to ask you to do something crazy for me and I...I can't tell you why."
17 Jul 14, 01:48 AM
Marcos: Instantly feeling better after hearing the odd laugh, he squeezed her hands lightly and said "Anything. Will you be able to tell me later? Or After I do it?"
17 Jul 14, 01:52 AM
Giana: She nodded slowly. "After you agree but..." She bit her lip at this part. "I promised my parents I'd have you vow not to tell anyone before I...that is...I can't tell you unless..." She looked very bothered.
17 Jul 14, 01:54 AM
Marcos: He frowned more, but nodded. "I cant tell anyone after I agree? All right, I trust you. Your family trusts me to keep a secret, it's as good as sealed." He smiled at her, having forgotten the slipping towel or the wet bathing suit underneath. the tag hanging down at the base of his throat tho looked weird.
17 Jul 14, 01:56 AM
Giana: She wasn't sure he understood. "No Marco I mean...an actual vow...a magical one." She studied his eyes carefully.
17 Jul 14, 01:57 AM
Marcos: Suddenly his eyes got big as dinner plates! "Wha...?" For an instant it was clear he didn't get it, then it calmed in his eyes and he tilted a head at her. "You promise I don't need to kill my family or yours? And that I can do whatever it is you need done?"
17 Jul 14, 01:58 AM
Giana: She nodded, "I promise, and I'll tell you what I need from you before I tell you the hard part" she promised, eying him somewhat warily as she waited for his response
17 Jul 14, 02:01 AM
[×] Marcos: He nodded, took her hands and placed them palms up and then set his in hers as well. "I'm your guy then. I trust you, Gia, with everything."
17 Jul 14, 02:01 AM
Giana: She squeezed his hands, and when she looked up at him, it was clear she was nervous. A deep breath and then: "Will you marry me then?"
17 Jul 14, 02:04 AM
Marcos: He blinked. Twice. A glance down at his hands in hers, then back up at her. "No ring. We just do the basic thing now and then you wheel me off to a fancy date and do it the offical way? Cause the answer is yes. I want you as my wife. I--" he didn't know what else to say
17 Jul 14, 02:07 AM
Giana: She smiled brightly at him, relieved, but then shook her head. "Not so much fancy" she answered. "Something small, I'd like to go to the place in Italy where my parents were married." She gave him a rueful look. "Its enough that you said yes" she told him, and then: "Now for the less romantic part." She watched the door and called "Get in here, I know you've been eavesdropping the whole time."
17 Jul 14, 02:09 AM
Nadya: Nadya entered, wand in hand and a soft smile on her face. "Can't help it, its not every day your sister proposes to your best friend" she answered. Striding across the room, she hugged her sister and then, a moment to let her eyes travel teasingly over Marcos before she hugged him as well. "The casual look I see" she teased softly, trying to alleviate the tension of the moment. "In laws" she muttered..."that's so weird."
17 Jul 14, 02:14 AM
Marcos: Instead of tension, Marcos smiled when he saw Nadya. "Hey Nadya, I should have known you would be here for this." A raised eyebrow, then a glance down. "Oh. Yeah I was swimming but it sounded like an emergency..." He pulled his shirt off, turned it inside out, and pulled it back on, then restraightened his towel.
17 Jul 14, 02:17 AM
Giana: She seemed to notice, finally, his state of dress and with a flick of her wand cast a drying charm on his trunks. Laying the wand aside, she hugged her sister in return. Taking Marco's arm, she met his eyes and then turned to Nadya and nodded.
17 Jul 14, 02:19 AM
Nadya: Nadya cleared her throat, very aware of the seriousness of this situation, even if Marco didn't quite realize it yet. As Gia grabbed his arm, she focused her magic, knowing it was very important she got this right. "Do you promise that nothing my sister says to you tonight will ever go further than the three of us?"
17 Jul 14, 02:20 AM
Marcos: Taking Gia's arm, he held it steady as a rock, wondering what had happened to cause this situation. Looking across at Gia's eyes, he wanted to make sure she felt his promise, his seriousness. He said "I promise" in the same tone he said 'I love you.'
17 Jul 14, 02:25 AM
Giana: She kept her eyes trained on his and her grip tightened as he spoke. She smiled, making it clear she got the message. 'I love you' she mouthed, her gaze unwavering.
17 Jul 14, 02:26 AM
Nadya: Nadya watched them both carefully, intently focused on the task at hand. She had known the spell required two more facets, but hadn't shared with Giana what she planned to say. "Do you promise to love Giana in all circumstances, and to keep her safe and taken care of to the best of your ability?"
17 Jul 14, 02:28 AM
[×] Marcos: The joy in his eyes grew with those mouthed words and a slight flush went up his neck. But with Nadyas words his grin grew quite wide as he said with delight "I d@mn well will, I promise."
17 Jul 14, 02:30 AM
Giana: As the second band of light wrapped around their joined hands, Giana wondered what there was left to promise and prayed to Merlin Nadya wouldn't do something ridiculous. Still, as he spoke she squeezed his arm, and could almost feel the magic pulse in response to his sincerity.
17 Jul 14, 02:38 AM
Nadya: She had thought long and hard about this last one, and while a part of her was tempted to abuse this last promise, this was not the time, so instead, she went for humor.. "Do you promise to tell all of my future nieces and nephews exactly how amazing their aunt is for cancelling a date to be here tonight?" She noticed Giana's glare and smirked "Officate's fee" she defended.
17 Jul 14, 02:40 AM
Marcos: A smirk and he turned his head to look at Nadya. "I promise. But I would always tell people about how amazing you are, Nadya." He squeezed Gia's hand at the same time.
17 Jul 14, 02:43 AM
Giana: The magic wove itself tightly around their joined hands, glowed for a long moment and then dissipated slowly. Gia mumbled something in Italian under her breath and at Nadya's offended look, she winked before kissing him softly. "I also wanted Nadya here because, well, she knows more than I do." Giana had intentionally asked to be left out for the most part, and when she sat on the couch she motioned for Marcos to join her. Nadya sat on his other side, frowning.
17 Jul 14, 02:43 AM
Nadya: She took his other hand, but loosely. "Marcos, how much do you know about the deatheaters?"
17 Jul 14, 02:47 AM
Marcos: Kissing her back, he released her reluctantly and then followed her to the couch. So whatever was going on was defintely in her family or their business. "Um, they were a nasty group who did a lot of secret stuff? What I know is from our classes, that's about it."
17 Jul 14, 02:48 AM
Giana: Giana tried not to look relived, that would make this a little easier at least. She laid her head on his shoulder as Nadya continued.
17 Jul 14, 02:50 AM
Nadya: A slow nod, "When dad was young, he was a deatheater" she said softly. It was never something he wanted for himself, but his family was so deeply involved and he...was left without a choice. He was trained by uncle Seth and uncle Ivan. That's how he met mum." She paused to let him process this much.
17 Jul 14, 02:51 AM
Marcos: There was a moment. "Um, okay. That I didn't see coming. All right, so you have Deatheaters in the family, but I thought they all disbanded."
17 Jul 14, 02:56 AM
Nadya: She nodded. "When Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldermort, they did" she confirmed, and then after some hesitation. "But..." Here her voice was soft, as though the walls themselves might hear. "There is talk of a new leader, and thew new ranks are recruiting again..." She bit her lip, "Dad and uncle Ivan have been trying to remain neutral, but its been made clear to them that those who desert will be viewed as traitors and treated accordingly." She gave him a look that told him she didn't have to elaborate on how a group like the DE would treat traitors.
17 Jul 14, 03:00 AM
Marcos: Oh. sh!t. "Uh, but that means..." Oh god. "Wait, what happens to their families? To your family?" Then he paled remembering he was not on the favored list of people in the DE's mind.
17 Jul 14, 03:04 AM
Giana: From her side, Gia squeezed his hand before speaking up. "Our parents are in the process of working out a marriage contract between Nadya and Caeden. Its something they worked out together. If there's one thing the deatheaters care about as much as blood its money" She sighed, it was the reason the offers had been so persistent. "Once she's married, she and Caeden will be able to go where they need to to be safe."
17 Jul 14, 03:05 AM
Nadya: A rueful look now as she nodded, "and marrying you will see Giana safely out of the country." She stiffened as though the next part was hard. "Dad, uncle Ivan, Luca, uncle Seth, and Seth are all on the verge of..." She shrugged helplessly, "they don't know what else to do at this point. To reject the recruiters is to have them after us...all of us."
17 Jul 14, 03:07 AM
[×] Marcos: "But..." He gave Gia a worried look and panic was in his eyes. "B-but I'm not pure! If Gia marrys me they will come after us! That would endanger her, right?" He looked suddenly torn, panic in his eyes about what they had decided.
17 Jul 14, 03:07 AM
Marcos: "But..." He gave Gia a worried look and panic was in his eyes. "B-but I'm not pure! If Gia marrys me they will come after us! That would endanger her, right?" He looked suddenly torn, panic in his eyes about what they had decided.
17 Jul 14, 03:11 AM
Nadya: It was Nadya who was quick to reassure him. "The DE isn't as familiar with pure families outside of Europe" she assured him, "its another reason dad will probably go. If he assures everyone his daughter married well, who are they to wonder, and really, at that point, what do they care?" She sounded less than pleased with the whole thing. "Caeden is half too, Marco, but as I said, money is thicker to these people than blood."
17 Jul 14, 03:13 AM
Marcos: It was the fact that Nadya reassured him that helped, that she was quick to speak. A look at her eyes as he said "You...think so?" A glance at Giana and his eyes were quite full of emotion as he said "I'm not rich, but I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt you, Giana, I swear. I love you..."
17 Jul 14, 03:15 AM
Nadya: A nod, "trust me, mum and dad have thought this out. It was the best they could come up with, and they were both Ravens." At his wealth comment, Nadya gave her sister a look that said 'you tell him'
17 Jul 14, 03:17 AM
Giana: "Marco...about that..." She bit her lip. "When we're married, we'll officially have access to my trust fund and..." She tried to be as delicate as she could. "Marco, mum and dad both came from two extremely wealthy old pureblood houses..."
17 Jul 14, 03:23 AM
Marcos: "Oh." He looked at Gia. "So you can use the money to hide us. Got it. Okay." It never occured to him for a second he would be in charge. "So, how soon do we need to go? how much time have we got?"
17 Jul 14, 03:26 AM
Giana: She arched a brow at him. "I guess you can look at it like that." They would talk about that part later. "They can't touch us in Hogwarts but..." She took a deep breath. "We'll portkey straight from the station to Italy at Christmas" she told him. "If you want your mum and brothers to be there you should owl them" she warned him. "The wedding is going to be set up when we get there." She shrugged, "after that it'll be up to us until we get back to school. After graduation, well...we'll have to see."
17 Jul 14, 03:28 AM
Nadya: Nadya chose that moment to yawn "All right, I think you two have it from here" she announced, and then with a slightly mischievous look. "I can probably still catch Caeden" she winked as she stood. "Night love birds" She hugged her sister briefly and then Marcos for a bit longer than was strictly necessary. "My original threats still stand oh future brother-in-law of mine" she whispered in his ear. "Be good to her" she kissed his cheek and stepped back, turning to leave the room.
17 Jul 14, 03:30 AM
[×] Marcos: He nodded. "I know how to write them so no one else will be able to read it. They can contact mom. I have to have her there at least." He whispered back to Nadya "I will, sister, depend on it. You do realize you have three brothers now I hope." Turning back to Gia he caught her in his arms and hugged her, sweeping her aorund in a circle. "Gia! I will be good for your trust, I know I will!"

28 Oct 14, 07:34 PM Giana: She rolled over onto her stomach, slightly sore but most of all triumphant. Kissing him softly she brushed her nose over his jaw. "Morning love" 28 Oct 14, 07:36 PM Marcos: HIs eyes didn't open, but his arm reacted, coming up around her to keep her close as he breathed in. "Morn." A smile occured to him as his other hand came up to rub the sleep from hs eyes. "Wife." His hand slid down her posterior as he grinned more. 28 Oct 14, 07:38 PM Giana: She wiggled a bit, but didn't scold him. It was still strange having his hands in places, but oh /oh/ so nice... She kissed his lips again. "You know we have to get up soon" she warned him, sounding a bit mournful herself. 28 Oct 14, 07:40 PM Marcos: Now opening his eyes he made a sad sound. "I'm not done exploring, Gia, but you might be able to coax me up." He kissed her back, trailed kisses down her jaw. Softer "We should have allowed more time. Merlin you smell so good to me..."" 28 Oct 14, 07:43 PM Giana: She took his face in her hands, kissed him soundly on the lips, and then darted out of bed before he could get his hands on her. "If you want more where that came from you can follow me into the shower" She told him as she paused to grin at him cheekily over her shoulder. "We have an hour before the first port key goes off." 28 Oct 14, 07:46 PM Marcos: She darted away mid kiss and his hands closed on air, sitting up partly he saw her move across the room to th bathroom and his eyes followed her rear with anticipation. "Ah! you sneaky--" He tossed the covers back, slid his legs over, and stood wiping his eyes again and following. In the bathroom he heard the water running as he stepped inside. "Man, well you've accomplished one thing for sure," splashing water in his face from the sink "I already miss Italy." 28 Oct 14, 08:11 PM Giana: Her laughter was warm despite the underlying tension she felt. Being in her home country afforded them some extra safety, but not much, and the wedding had been more open than she personally thought prudent. Looking up at him, the amused expression remained. "E ' un paese bellissimo , no ?" She made quick work of scrubbing down, running soapy hands over his body now and again as she did so. 28 Oct 14, 08:16 PM Marcos: The idea of showering with Gia was nearly as exciting as last night and he got in the shower without much delay. And while he enjoyed her hands on him, he made a point of running his across her far more, kissing her occasionally as he got a chance too. "My gosh, I am the luckiest guy in the entire wizarding world! And all because of the most wonderful wife anyone could ask for..." 28 Oct 14, 08:21 PM Giana: She blushed, raising herself up, she kissed his lips. "Well right now your wonderful wife needs to get dressed. She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his jaw. "Besides, the sooner we get settled this afternoon, the sooner we have real time for other things" she reminded him as she stepped out. 28 Oct 14, 08:25 PM Marcos: At the word dressed he made sure to show a pout and then broke into a grin. "Ah, all right. Merlin, I'm going to be getting some hard lessons in restraint today it seems." She got out and he finished washing up fast, stepping out for the towel and drying off quickly. Seeing her dressed ahead of him he caught her around the waist and kissed her soundly before letting go to grab his own clothes which she had already laid out for him to change into. "I wonder if there is a way to make a portakey work faster..." 28 Oct 14, 08:28 PM Giana: She pressed both hands against his chest as he kissed her, kissing him back just as deeply. "Portus Velocior" she told him over her shoulder as she began sending things into the trunks which were folding themselves on the way. media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/f8/bb/26/f8bb26d1116e15b43651f39ed5ef1e04.jpgi1169.photobucket.com/albums/r508/shava4/trip/9_zps7c6841da.jpg28 Oct 14, 08:38 PM Marcos: He pulled on his underwear and jeans, dodging two pairs of dress clothes and sitting down to slide on socks and shoes while she packed faster and far more effiectively they he could have managed. Shirtless he caught his shirt and stepped to her, sliding an arm around her as he kissed her cheek. "Okay, what can I do? Or have you already finished everything" he said glancing around and realizing she had "Merlin you are fast." He stuck his arms in the sleeves, but hadn't buttoned it yet. 28 Oct 14, 08:40 PM Giana: She laughed, "One has to be efficient growing up in a house with three siblings who wouldn't know a schedule if it bit them." She closed the trunk, latched it, and smiled at him. "We have ten minutes until the key goes off" She launched herself at him, sending them both rolling into the bed. 28 Oct 14, 08:42 PM Marcos: He laughed, being able to see her chasing them around easily. "Ten--" he fell over eagerly, sliding his hands up her backside as she found his lips and he moaned beneath her. "And you thought I might hesitate to marry you? Merlin! If we only had a few more hours..." 28 Oct 14, 08:44 PM Giana: She laughed, a light, innocent sound and nodded at him. "We'll have several more years after today, Marco" she reminded him. "Which reminds me, I'm supposed to tell you that Nadya's meeting us between the fist and second keys for lunch and there's nothing we can do about it." Her tone and inflection telling him she was quoting her sister directly. 28 Oct 14, 08:48 PM Marcos: Pulling her close he looked her in the eyes saing softly but intently "And I will be doing my best to make them the best you can ever remember, Gianna Jimenez," and kissed her very tenderly before he responded to her comments about her sister, releasing her as it was near time. "Lunch. Well now, since we skipped breakfast that sounds like an excellent idea! But don't tell Nadya we skipped..." 28 Oct 14, 08:50 PM Giana: She tilted her head to look up at him. "Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" she said softly, sounding almost in awe. Kissing him back, she almost laughed against his lips. When she pulled away, she added: "She also said to tell you something about a pink flush, but I can't remember what it was." 28 Oct 14, 08:53 PM Marcos: He grinned "I know and I love that!" He rolled his eyes as he sat up with her. "Your sister has a bad sense of humor sometimes as you know. It's not as important as you in my arms and my heart in your possession." He caught up the trunk handle and slid an arm around her middle so she could reach the portakey for them both. 28 Oct 14, 08:59 PM Giana: "I love you" she responded, "but that is a close second." She kissed him once more before he grabbed the trunk in one hand and her with the other arm. "Hold on tight" she told him, snuggling into him as she picked the key up off the desk. They were pulled instantly through the air, landing less than a minute later in a station on the coast. She kissed him deeply. She spoke with the attendant who retrieved their key and she nodded, thanking the man in smooth Italian. "We have maybe a minute" she warned him. 28 Oct 14, 09:03 PM Marcos: "I'll never let you go, trust me." After they landed she kissed him again and he breathed her in still finding it amazing she was his! As she warned him he wrapped his arm around her facing him this time and kissed her back, not caring if they got taken during it... 28 Oct 14, 09:08 PM Giana: As they spun out and back in again, she found herself a bit wobbly on the landing. In the next instant, there was an extra pair of arms around both of them, nearly knocking her over. 28 Oct 14, 09:08 PM Nadya: "You survived!" She looked them both over and nodded to herself, satisfied. "So, how was it?" encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTdQ4jCwT-AJlIQfksSPul9qjtAeeVaYfxYTTWdBrmWA6WRzQKP28 Oct 14, 09:12 PM Marcos: He felt Nadya hit them about the time they wobbled and managed somehow to keep his feet. "It was awesome of course, Gia was there!" he stuck his tongue out at Nadya and then added "We missed you by the way. And italy is a wonderful place." 28 Oct 14, 09:16 PM Giana: Once she got her bearings, she hugged her sister in return. "Absolutely fabulous" she reiterated. She leaned up to kiss Marco on the cheek before squeezing her sister's hand. "So where are you taking us for lunch?" She gave Nadya a teasing grin. . 28 Oct 14, 09:18 PM Nadya: Releasing them, she made a face at Marcos. "Just checking" she pointed out. "Glad you think so, you'll be visiting a lot" the way she said it sounded a bit threatening. "Missed you guys too" and then to Gia "Well, Italian's definitely out. How about Camino?" She turned to Marcos. "How do you feel about Mexican?" 28 Oct 14, 09:21 PM Marcos: Seeing her glance he interpreted that to say she would be as well. And then he rolled his eyes and said teasingly "Mexican? Sounds like something familiar. Do they actually have it good here?" |

www.mayfairhotelandspa.com/_images/_design/headers/rooftop2.jpgGiana: She stepped into the room of requirement on Marco's arm and noticed the room was deserted. She'd never gotten here first before, closing her eyes, she got an image in her mind and smiled softly. Opening one eye, she turned her head to her husband. "What do you think, love?" 20 Nov 14, 10:39 PM Marcos: A grin. "I like it very much! So, dip in the pool or the couches? You know wherever you want, I'll be happy to go along." His hand stil covered hers, his eyes still possessiove of the most wonderful girl in the world 20 Nov 14, 10:42 PM Giana: She squeezed his hand. "How about the pool while we're still alone?" She pointed out. "We can lounge around later when things get crazy." She led him by the hand, though she didn't tug as her sister might have done, obviously content and in no hurry. "Have you heard anything from Nadya, I think..." She bit her lip. "I think she's hoping Caden might agree to..." She gave him a pointed look. 20 Nov 14, 10:47 PM Marcos: A nod. He pointed after the edge of the last 'tented' area. "CLothes over there?" He followed her and shook his had. "Not a word yet. She's always welcome in our house though right? Untilshe figures out what's going on. I know she doesn't want to sleep at mom's..." 20 Nov 14, 10:50 PM Giana: A nod as they headed in that direction. Taking the dress over her head, she revealed the bikini underneath even as she kept talking. "Of course, but I think she feels awkward because she knows everyone knows about...well...everything." Gia had made her peace with it, but she knew her sister hadn't yet, though she doubted Nadya still had feelings for Marco. 20 Nov 14, 10:53 PM Marcos: Stripping rapidly to give himself a chance to catch her, he grunted. "Ah yeah well people wil lforget about it when other stuff begins happening around here." He caught her around the waist pullin gher against him and kissing her neck. "I still can't believe I belong to you now, you crazy cat lady..." 20 Nov 14, 10:56 PM Giana: A sad half-smile as she nodded. "Its going to be a bigger deal soon as people start choosing sides." She hesitated, "I can't go against my family, Marco. You know that..." Another moment, "I'm afraid if Nadya can't figure something else out she might join too, and that will be...hard." He kissed her neck and she squirmed. "Don't start something we can't finish here" she warned him, though the nickname earned him an amused look. "I'm only crazy for the cute ones." 20 Nov 14, 11:02 PM Grace: She steps into the RoR, her eyes widening at the scene before her. This room amazed her every time she walked in. She smiled seeing a couple of her schoolmates, neither of which she knew very well. She made herself a Shirley Temple and sat on one of the couches, watching the couple- her mind was on other things. 20 Nov 14, 11:03 PM Marcos: His hand pulled her close as he nodded, sobered. "I know, Gia, I know but we'll also be in school. Surely little will happen in there for you to have to react to." Grinning at her warning he said softly "Well then, lead your cute one to water, or should I take us both in?" He slid his hands around her, picking her up and walking towards the pool. 20 Nov 14, 11:06 PM Giana: She hesitated, then nodded slowly. "I hope so" she answered. He picked her up and her eyes widened. "Marcos Jimenez don't you dare!" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're going to drown us. I thought cats hated the water..." 20 Nov 14, 11:08 PM Marcos: He laughed and kissed her forehead. "I'm not jumping in, Mrs Jimenez, I'm doing this the way I want to, gentle with the most precious of treasures." Stepping in in the step he walke into the central pool, lowering her only with a warning of the water's edge, his eyes alight with looking over her. "Cats might be, but tigers swim..." 20 Nov 14, 11:13 PM Giana: She shook her head at him. "You're..." she searched for the word. "A hopeless romantic" Arms still around his neck, her eyes glowed with her amusement and tenderness. "Is there anything a tiger cannot do?" 20 Nov 14, 11:22 PM Marcos: "For you? Yes." He smiled tenderly at her as he waded in. "But who could fail to be with someone lie you? My wife deserves to be cherished." he chuckled as he lowered her in, still supporting her with his arms. "Probably, but I hope not to learn about it." 20 Nov 14, 11:26 PM Giana: "Always for me" she acknowledged, lost in their own world. She shook her head, wavy curls falling into her eyes. "You are my rodstvennaya dusha, amore mio" She did it often, crossed the two languages. She had learned them all same time, and sometimes they all fell together. (Soul mate, my love) 20 Nov 14, 11:42 PM Marcos: As he lowered her she spoke and he slipped his arm out from under her legs lowering her to her feet with care. Her words brought a desire into his eyes, but he contented himself with kissing her full on the lips for a good fifteen seconds before he stopped. "Merlin I am the luckiest guy ever. 20 Nov 14, 11:47 PM Giana: She kissed him back, and then laughed softly, "don't forget it" she teased. "Now put me down, there are people around now!" She admonished, though the warm look was still in her eyes. "It is beautiful up here." 20 Nov 14, 11:50 PM Marcos: Helping her stand in the pool beside him he shrank down in the water a bit. "I'm not likely I am ever to forget, my love, and yes the view is wonderfully inspiring," he said his eyes not moving from looking up at her with a grin. 20 Nov 14, 11:53 PM Giana: She piled her hair up and stuck her wand through it, another habit. "You're going to see the same one every day for the rest of your life, you know" she reminded him. "You'll get used to it." She heard a commotion in the direction of the door and glanced that way. "Uh oh, looks like the party has arrived" she grinned. 20 Nov 14, 11:57 PM Nadya: Looking uncharacteristically nervous, Nadya entered, nodded to her sister and brother-in-law. (How weird was that, and surprisingly avoided the bar, opting for one of the tents instead. 20 Nov 14, 11:57 PM Marcos: He nodded with a grin. "I did say I was the luckiest guy ever!" She glanced aside and he looke din time to nod back. "I see. At least she's more aware of the drinking now. That must make you feel better." 21 Nov 14, 12:01 AM Giana: "You did" she agreed. She nodded, made herself look away. "She hasn't had a drink since she met Caden" she told him. "Guess I owe him for that." 21 Nov 14, 12:05 AM Marcos: Moving to the edge and sitting, he caught up her hand, not pulling but keeping her near. "He's good for her. Have you heard her say anything about him and her thinking of getting together?" 21 Nov 14, 12:08 AM Giana: She hesitated. "They're...together...sort of." She shrugged, "They went on a date over the break. He took her to some...club or something." She gave him a conspiratorial look. "I would have sworn he'd still be there next morning, but she said he kissed her good night and left. I don't even think they've slept together yet." Which was huge for Nadya. 21 Nov 14, 12:13 AM Marcos: It panged slightly, hearing it and knowing what it meant. "Ah. She really cares for him then. that's a good sign." He could understand a bit of what she must have felt seeing Gia and he married then and he felt sympathy. 21 Nov 14, 12:16 AM Giana: "I think so" she agreed. "Though I don't know if he cares for her enough to even consider what she's going to ask of him tonight." She bit her lip again. "I don't even know for sure that she'll get up the nerve to ask." 21 Nov 14, 12:20 AM Marcos: His eyebrows went up and he looked at her till she said the second part. Pulling on her hand with a tug to get her closer to where he now sat in the water on the step he said "Tonight?" Oh. Oh wow. "Ah so you might be needed for the vow?" His eyes were wider now 21 Nov 14, 12:24 AM Giana: "I'm not sure what she'll tell him, but I dont' know if she'll try for the vow or not." She sighed, "they're different, those two. But I guess we'll see." 21 Nov 14, 12:26 AM Marcos: He shrugged then. "All we can do is wait then. Might as well settle down then before the crowd gets here. DO you need anything?" 21 Nov 14, 12:30 AM Giana: "I'm great actually" she glanced at the door and then at Nadya again. "She'll be all right, right?" 21 Nov 14, 12:35 AM Marcos: He nodded, seeing she was too wound up by what might happen to pick up on his subtle cues. "Even though she is your sister and you have a right to be worried, Gia, she is still very much Nadya." He leaned back slightly, still holding her hand. "She will be fine and resistive to interference." 21 Nov 14, 12:40 AM Giana: "She's very...stubborn isn't she" said affectionately rather than harshly. "And she's gotten through a lot." She leaned up and kissed him softly. "Just think, she'll be aunt Nadya to our kids one day." 21 Nov 14, 12:51 AM Marcos: he nearly grinned as she spoke about aunt Nadya. "She has. And you will be aunt Giana to hers as well, but I think I wiill be too focuse don our own litle litter to pay too close attention at first..." He kissed her hand, liking the thought. 21 Nov 14, 12:53 AM Giana: "Oh Merlin, Nadya's kids" the thought was sort of scary actually. She wrinkled her nose at him and laughed. "I am not giving birth to kittens, you know." 21 Nov 14, 12:56 AM Marcos: He nodded, distracted by a thought that if she had multiples, no one would be able to hold them all back. "Oh I know. But crazy cat lady's have a way of bringing up the terms a lot you know." He laughed softly. "Aided by their Gia-loving husbands of course." 21 Nov 14, 12:56 AM 21 Nov 14, 12:58 AM Giana: She rolled her eyes at him playfully. "Mama and Papa always sort of wanted more, but Luca and Nadya were such handfuls" she grinned. "I think it took a lot out of them." She was worried for her parents, especially since her mother would probably stay behind on the DE thing. 21 Nov 14, 01:00 AM Marcos: Kissing her neck softly he said "Don't worry, after we graduate we'll make sure to give them a few cuties to be totally distracted by. Then when they visit they wil have a reason to forget home for awhile." 21 Nov 14, 01:02 AM Giana: She laughed softly, liking the odd image of her parents in Puerto Rico. "I think they will like it there" she murmured. "It is so easy to get distracted by the loveliness of it." 21 Nov 14, 01:04 AM Marcos: Liking the reaction he saw his brother enter, but did not make a big deal of it yet. "And the spices and the colors and the sound of the sea." He hesitated. "But I bet they miss all of that when they have a tony hand wrapped around a finger. They must have been totally entranced by the two of you." 21 Nov 14, 01:08 AM Giana: She smiled, having only foggy memories of her young childhood. "They love all of us of course, but they have always loved having twins it is true. They claim we are each like one of them." She spread her fingers out against his palm. "But yes, the spices are a nice touch. Do you think your mama might teach me some of those recipes?" 21 Nov 14, 01:11 AM Marcos: His eyes panned over her, thinking anyone would be entranced by her alone. As she put her hand against his he said "Twins. Do they happen to run in your family?" A grin. "Are you kidding? Her first daughter in law? You could easily get lessons from her." 21 Nov 14, 01:13 AM Giana: She kissed his fingertips one at a time. "Not that I know of" she said softly. "Mama had brothers and papa had sisters" she grinned. "I think its why they got along so well." She looked excited. "You think so?" 21 Nov 14, 01:15 AM Marcos: He mused. "twins. Triplets. I wonder what the odds are we have one of those..." Her thoughts about her parents he set aside for the moment to think about later. A roll of his eyes at her excitement. "Think about it, Gia. The only two women in a housefull of boys? And you might be giving her grandkids in another couple of years? You must be like the star of the house right now." 21 Nov 14, 01:29 AM Giana: She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to be the star" she insisted, "but I dont' mind being her ally." A nod, "she seems nice, I think she likes me all right." She shook her head. "We're not even out of school yet, amore mio, slow down." 21 Nov 14, 01:32 AM Marcos: He grinned. She didn't know his mother well enough yet to tell the difference. "Oh she will consider you one. Got to keep the boys under thumb. As if she needs to worry about me any more..." As to the kids... "Hey, it's not that far off to imagine. We're sixths Gia! Two ywars isn't long at all..." 21 Nov 14, 01:34 AM Giana: She acknowledged that. "Barefoot and pregnant then?" she teased. "Long as you're prepared to keep me in books for the duration." She laughed, "I like your mama, she's...special." 21 Nov 14, 01:39 AM Marcos: A rueful glance. "No way. I'dnever risk your precious feet barefoot, love," he kissed her shoulder chuckling to show his teasing. "I'll keep you loaded down in books then. And mama is special, she's lived through a lot." He caressed her arm for a moment, imagining wat he would be used to in a few years. "You know I love you, Gia. I wouldn't do anything except what you want to do as well." 21 Nov 14, 01:47 AM Giana: She rolled her eyes. "I'm barefoot all the time" she pointed out. "Like now" She glanced toward the closed tent her sister and Caden currently occupied. "Guess she got the nerve up after all. Either that or they're making out." She glanced over at his brother. "Looks like Madden has his hands full too." 21 Nov 14, 01:50 AM Marcos: "I know, it's very hard to look away." A glance at the tent and he frowned. "I, uh, think it's just talking I hope. She needs to have a place to be." His head snapped around to Madden suddenly having missed what was happening. He half stood, looking towards him. "Uh...uh oh." 21 Nov 14, 01:52 AM Giana: She leaned up and kissed him. "I think you'll manage", she splashed him gently. "Especially because it looks like your brother and his girlfriend are about to give us a show." She bit her lip, tried not to stare at the tent. "I think Caden really cares about her, but its a lot to ask. I don't think he feels that way about her, at least not yet." 21 Nov 14, 01:56 AM Marcos: He sighed. "More then a show, I'm afraid, it looks like the explosion of a few thousand emotions." While he worried about Nadya, he worried about Madden more. Madden would respond much worse and without thinking if things went too far. 21 Nov 14, 01:58 AM Giana: She looked nervous. "He wouldn't hit her or anything...would he?" She glanced at the two, who both looked more than a little angry. The sound of Madden's fist on the bar made her flinch. 21 Nov 14, 02:00 AM Marcos: He shook his head. "Hit her? No, not her." A glance around the room. "Smash something or do something totally stupid just to shove his loss in her face that he can do something else for himself yes. That's what I'm more worried about." 21 Nov 14, 02:01 AM Giana: She was confused as she watched the Summerby girl move closer. "What's she doing? He's obviously very mad. Why is she getting closer to him?" She didn't understand why the girl didn't seem afraid. 21 Nov 14, 02:04 AM Marcos: He frowned. "I think she loves him. Love makes you do a lot of things. Some of them smart." 21 Nov 14, 02:10 AM Giana: She saw the kiss and turned to stare at Marcos, utterly flummoxed. "What in Merlin's name just...?" They'd looked angry enough to fight it out a few seconds before. "Does he love her?" 21 Nov 14, 02:13 AM Marcos: he shrugged. "Madden has always had this weird way of looking at things, but he goes after everything passionately. So just cause he looks like he's about to throw a punch is not what it may looks like." He hesitated and then shrugged again. "I'm not sure if he knows yet." 21 Nov 14, 02:14 AM Giana: "He and Nadya have that in common. I'm kind of glad they've never been interested in one another." She looked over at the two. "I'd say he's figuring it out." She kissed his cheek. "So, are you the normal one?" 21 Nov 14, 02:18 AM Marcos: His eyes grew wider. Was she not aware...? "Uh...I think he was interested in her for awhile. It was a near thing." His attention for his brother flagged when his wife kissed him and he turned to look at her, his hand coming up to caress her cheek. "You wouldn't be too bored if I was I hope..." 21 Nov 14, 02:21 AM Giana: She looked surprised, "really? I just thought they both flirted with everyone." She shook her head, hair falling into her eyes once more. "Nope" she whispered as though telling him a secret. "Because I am the normal one too." 21 Nov 14, 02:25 AM Marcos: he nearly laughed. "We all did, it was a competition for a long time. Seduction, that is. madden just won the most often. But this time I think he is actually feeling it. With Nadya it was more a major temptation and she enjoyed tempting my brother." He turned catching her around the waist and pulling her close, kissing her soundly before he broke the kiss off and said softly with passion in his voice. "Then we'll need to produce enough of a litter to keep everyone else sane." And grinned 21 Nov 14, 02:27 AM Giana: Thinking of his other brother, she arched a brow. "You came in second didn't you?" That one did bother her a bit, but it wasn't like she had to worry about it now. "Nadya enjoys tempting people...or well..enjoyed. She's kind of given up on it since...." She gestured in the direction of the tent. He pulled her close and she held up, kissing him with a deep tenderness and desire that was still new and exciting to her. "At least two years" she argued, "Maybe ten" she added brightly with a teasing grin. 21 Nov 14, 02:32 AM Marcos: He shook his head. "I was all testosterone then. I'm sorry, Gia. I shouldn't have but I didn't know better." He looked at her carefully. "It's good now. And I'm glad she is learning." She teased him and he chuckled. "I don't think we can wait five. Well, I don't want to wait that long, maybe that's the problem..." 21 Nov 14, 02:33 AM Giana: She grinned. "You...listening to your hormones? Never...not you..." She was clearly feeling cheeky. She glanced at the tent, they'd been in there a while and she hoped things were going all right. "Oh I'm sure she's learning all right." She winked at him "I didn't say five, I said ten" she stuck her tongue out at him childishly. 21 Nov 14, 02:37 AM Marcos: A chuckle again. "Well I wasn't thinking of hat kind of learning." She stuck a tongue out at him and he leaned close to her ear. "If you make me wait ten, love, I'll have to tease you into an early date with out mercy. Can yu stand that sort of pleasure?" 21 Nov 14, 02:41 AM Giana: She froze, shivered even though the night was warm as he murmured softly in her ear. "Not...a..chance" she murmured, and turned to kiss him with uncharacteristic intensity. Pulling back a fraction, she added. "Could you?" 21 Nov 14, 02:43 AM Marcos: He breathed her in, kissed her back as much a she could. "Oh, I'm already deeply lost in you, love, there's no turning back for me. But to see your eyes looking out at me from a cheerful little face?" He brushed his hand over her cheek and smiled. "I'd survive a lot to bring that about." Marcos looked at the new visitors. "Hi Brier, thanks vey much!" He smiled seeing they had worked things out.
