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.

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!

"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.

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." Smiles10 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 underwater10 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 underneath10 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." winks10 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 deep at 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 f*ck 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. "f*ck 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 f*ck they wanted, he was done. 10 Nov 13, 10:35 PM Macaila Marquette: Macaila laughed coldly, "f*ck 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 f*ck 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 cast10 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 PM Harper: [[Venom, we can continue later?]] 10 Nov 13, 10:46 PM Maximus Redstrum: [[KK love]] 10 Nov 13, 10:46 PM Maximus 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 confirmation10 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 first11 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 about11 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 place11 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." |

1 Dec 13, 10:18 PM
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.

Part Two
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."

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."

[×] 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."

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.

[×] 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-

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-
