Meaningless, Unprotected...Walking? [Dusk]

[Deklan Enyalios]

71st of Spring

Deklan sighed as he entered the city...He had been gone from a while from the city, on business in Riverfall. The city hasn't changed much, but he was going to start his career of leadership here, then he would need to know the layout of the land immensely. He greeted the guard with a smile and a warm handshake, not wanting to cause any suspicion by the Knights, even though he was going to try his best to overthrow them and uphold a civilian government. It would take some time, but it was not impossible. He would center his power base in the civilian population, and...The female and homosexual/bisexual male population. He was a seducer and the sex of the person he is seducing matters little to him. He was going to gain his power...Even if he had to bang his way to the top.

Deklan stopped at the gate though, before he entered. He saw a redhead girl standing nearby, excited for some odd reason. Deklan thought she was a prime position to start at. He walked over, slowly and seductively, catching her eye. He knew how to dress for these girls and he was dressed in the way the liked it. He walked up to her, with a innocent expression on his face a version of his "Look".

"I've seemed to lost the way to my room in the castle...Could you perhaps escort me there? I'm so terribly sorry." he said, the innocence and the willingness soaking on his voice.

[Dusk]

Aenysa had had a rather long day of standing in front of the gates with a smile plastered on her face. The usually-bright vermilion dress was edged in dust and a little worse for wear, but then she'd had to work a double shift and had been there since dawn. Her feet hurt, her back hurt, and her damned face hurt from smiling so much. But she was good at her job, and took pride in being a happy face for those who'd just braved the tortures of the outside world. So when another man made his way through the gates and spotted her, she grinned brightly a gave a little wave of welcome, chestnut-colored curls bouncing over her shoulders. "Hi! Welcome to Syliras," she began - and then caught the Look he was giving her. She blinked, eyes wandering over him a moment. He was quite handsome, the scar on his face somehow adding to the ruggedness of him. Well dressed, too. Her smile twisted into something more genuine, and she felt a bit of a blush rising to her cheeks. And then he opened his mouth and delivered what might have been one of the worst pick-up lines she'd ever heard. And she was constantly hearing them from Jaeden whenever he dragged his kills in... but he said them mostly to be funny. A bark of laughter burst out of her, and one hand flew up to her mouth to cover it quickly, but then she couldn't help it. She dissolved into a fit of giggles, curls bouncing as she shook with laughter, but she finally got herself under control - a hand leaning on his arm as she collected her wits. "Ah! Oh gods, I'm sorry.. I'm not usually... lost the way to your room," she repeated, giggling again. "Gods, I thought I'd heard them all. I think that just made my day," she said, grinning up at him.

[Deklan Enyalios]

Deklan continued to smile as she laughed. He knew what he was doing for he has been doing it for years now. He knew that was a poor pick up line and that he was just trying to break the ice a bit. He laughed with her for a little while, but he didn't want to make himself look like a idiot so he stopped and crossed his arms and looked at her.

"That right there was the first thing I ever said to a women, for I was five years old and my father was betting away all our money. I was ready to go home so I asked the bar lady if she could take me to my room, and that she did, and enough about me. Now, give me your opinion on this fair city, for I am interested in it beyond belief."

He gave her a wink and charming smile before shaking his head.

"I'm so sorry, where are my manners? I am Deklan Enyalios." he said with a small bow, before taking her hand softly in his and kissing it even softer before returning to to her side.

[Dusk]

She giggled through her story, relaxing a little as it went on. When he winked at her, she stuttered a little trying to reply - and then he took her hand in his and kissed it, and the brush of his lips brought a fierce blush to her cheeks. "Oh! Oh, I'm... I'm Aenysa. Tieran, Aenysa Tieran. That's my name," she finished lamely, catching her bottom lip between her teeth as she tried to get her brain to start working again. "Sorry!" she laughed brightly, shaking her head, "sorry, I'm just... well. I love Syliras," she said more firmly, getting back to territory she knew. "It's wonderful, I've lived her since I was a little girl. Is this your first time here?" she asked, rusty-brown eyes dancing over his face. Of course, by this point one of the Knights who guarded the gate was watching the little exchange with more than a little curiosity - Aenysa worked for the Knights, and those who guarded the gates made it a special priority to make sure she wasn't harassed.

[Deklan Enyalios]

Deklan smiled at her as she blushed at him. Oh how he enjoyed making them blush and fidget. He watched her closely, making sure of her movements and her social quirks. That's what a true seducer looks for when seducing. How they act around the opposite sex and what turns them on. Deklan had been practicing his whole life with that, and soon he would be master, but not for a while. He watched her as she bit her lip, which always excited Deklan.

"Such a beautiful name..." he said causlly, moving in closer as she laughed brightly."You have a beautiful laugh as well...Full of life and happiness." he said with that charming smile and quizzical look on his face. "No. I've been here before, I just wanted your opinion on it. But...I would enjoy to have a meal with you...Are you almost off today?" he asked, causally yet seductively moving a piece of hair out of her eye. "I swear...Is there anything wrong with you? Even your hair is marvelous. I'm sorry for complimenting you so, but its just hard not to."

[Dusk]

Aenysa blushed harder at all the compliments, her smile widening uncontrollably. She told herself she shouldn't be wooed so easily... but he was so handsome, and his words were practically honey-coated, and then she felt the brush of his hand against her face and she actually shivered. Stupid girl, get ahold of yourself! she thought, but as she glanced up at him through dark lashes she couldn't help the flutter in her stomach. "Th-thank you, but I'm nothing special," she murmured, ducking her head in embarrassment. But she glanced up again as she remembered that he'd asked her something... "Oh!" she said suddenly, eyes widening, and then she laughed and covered her mouth with one hand. "Yes, I'm... I should be done about now. I was going to go but I saw you and thought... well, I figured I'd stay and see if you needed anything," she finished, voice trailing away as she glanced up to catch his gaze. What am I doing?! "I'm... I would very much enjoy sharing a meal with you," she whispered, blushing all the way to the tip of her nose.

[Deklan Enyalios]

Deklan smiled and extended his hand to her. He knew she was pretty much puddy in his hands, but he liked talking to her and getting her even more fallen for him. He could have asked her to his room right now, and she would have followed him without a sound most likely, but what would be the fun in that? He entered the city, with her on his arm and he walked quickly and briskly, smiling down at her every now and then. He decided to enter in some interesting conversation.

"While we walk...May I ask a few questions? If you were Queen of all the land...What would you do with that power? Would you give the poor all the gold, or take it yourself and run away to a far distant land? Would you be benevolent or a tyrant? Looking at you now, I know you would be a wonderful queen." he said as they stopped in front of a tavern, which Deklan hoped served food. They entered and he got a table for the two of them.

[Dusk]

She took his hand shyly, tucking the small wooden box of her office into a pocket of her skirts. The blush wouldn't quite disappear, leaving the freckles on her nose to stand out against it. "If I were Queen? Of all the land?" she said, laughing a little. "Oh, I wouldn't be very good at that. I don't even know what lands there are beyond Syliras. I would probably just... hire some very smart advisers and let them do most of the work," she giggled. "I'd... well, I'd try to find homes for the children here, I suppose. There are an awful lot of orphans in the city, and they would benefit from a family to love them. But I don't know, maybe the rest of the world is made up of cities full of orphans as well?" she said curiously, following him into the tavern without question. As they settled at the table, she kept her hand on his arm and shyly pulled him to sit on the bench beside her instead of across from her, though she couldn't quite believe her audacity and had to stare down at their entwined fingers rather than up at his face.

[Deklan Enyalios]

Deklan smiled at his new companion. He listened to her explanation and he nodded all the way through listening to her.

"Well, if I was King, I would eliminate all this poverty and such...I would unite all the numerous cities under one banner also, for they need a unified figure of strength. So...Do you have a certain someone in your life? Hmm? A husband perhaps...A boyfriend? I know a beautiful and charming girl as yourself would have many admirers and maybe even stalkers. I know out there at the gate you meet some sometimes...interesting people. I can look out for you if you ever need, love." he said that with a smile looking at her,placing his arm around her and pulling her close into his body. He bent his head down a little, and lightly touched their noses together, swiping his across hers.

[Dusk]

She listened attentively as he explained his own plans on what to do if he were somehow made king of the world, a smile spreading at the prospect of ending poverty. When he started complimenting her, she blushes and opened her mouth to protest - but then his arm was around her, and she was cuddled close against his side, and he was suddenly right there, looking her with those sultry eyes. When he bent his head to hers, she shivered a little and gasped at the touch of his nose. She could feel her heart thudding in response, unable to quite catch her breath. And so, unused to such feelings and a little overwhelmed, poor Aenysa actually swooned. Her eyes fluttered closed at the breath rushed out of her, and she collapsed into his arms with a low moan.
