The Park, The Words, The Feeling (Taith)

[Kail D'Rea]

A warmth went right through Kail’s slender body. She was not expecting Taith to come right out and claim long-term plans, but it was the perfect thing to say and she had nothing but good feelings resulting from the verbalization of his plan to be with her at least long enough for her to accomplish something great. He was even offering support and Kail wanted this. She could sense his intention to be with her and have her in his life as an equal. Sometimes it was convenient to be able to know that people really meant what they said and Taith’s good intentions were radiating off him. She accepted what he said and embraced it.

For a brief moment she considered telling him she loved him, but it still just wasn’t quite right. This was grounding and welcome and gave her more confidence in her feelings, but it wasn’t exactly the truly memorable moment she wanted. Instead she turned her face into the sunlight and closed her eyes. She paused there for a moment before facing Taith again and when she did she knew her expression was showing her feelings. She wrapped her arms around his waist and said “Oh Taith. You have far more confidence in me than I do. Capturing this kind of moment in art is nearly impossible and I will be a long time in gaining that kind of skill, if I ever do. I hope you are with me as I try though. My work is better when I have you nearby. My life is better when I have you nearby. I’m glad you are willing to have me with you.”

She looked again over the landscape, but had found something better. She turned back to Taith instead and looked up at him, waiting to see what he would say to this latest little emotional show. It really wasn’t like her and while she felt happy to share with him and not exactly afraid of his response, she wasn’t really sure what it would be.

Taithrosa looked at her as she spoke. His silver eyes seemed to fill even more with love and devotion to this woman who stood there before him. She was beautiful and not just physically. Her soul was beautiful. It was a work of art slowlly being crafted day by day, and taith felt a little envious. His return to Mizahar had been tainted by the method of his return, and so his soul would always carry that sadeness, but to have so much joy out of life. He walked forward and enfolded her into his arms, and just held her close. She was the true beauty here and she wanted him with her, and was the words he longed to hear. They sent a ringing through his soul that seemed to echo deep into his very core. Time and again he was sure he had sought this woman out in his lives and she had always been the completion when he found her. He just contiuned to hold her in that strong but gentle hug. Finally he spoke a gentle wisper for her ears alone. "You are the completion of my soul. And to hear that you want me near you, always that just helps to easy my heart and fills me with a light as bright as any Syna give off." He felt joy filling him. "To know that my love could very well be returned." It wasn't exactly and I love you but it was as close as he could say right now.

Relief filled Kail. Taith did love her. Suddenly, it was easy. After a moment of just enjoying the strong arms around her, their gentle pressure pushing just enough happiness, security, and even a bit of self-confidence into Kail to allow her to softly replied, “I do love you, Taithrosa. I’ve been happy with you this last month and it’s because I love you. It seems strange to know so soon, but I’m sure of it. I feel like I’ve known you for a longer time then I have and, well, it’s just right. Somehow. Like you came here for me. Did you?” She asked this last question with a small laugh. She knew he had come to study medicine, but the way everything had sort of lined up, it could almost be believable that Taith had come to find her.

As she asked this last question, the analytical part of her mind wondered why she still felt the need to give him an out. Why she couldn’t just believe that he would respond in kind, and mean it. He had basically just said he loved her. Instead she had to make sure that he could talk about something else if he wanted too. Maybe it was just still new and the longer she was with him the easier it would be just to trust this feeling, as her emotions suggested was right. She could at least hope that soon enough her heart would override her mind’s protections.

But that was for later. Now she just returned her thoughts to his arms and decided that whatever happened for the rest of the day, at least she had said what she wanted to.

[Taithrosa Eldytia]

He held the beautiful woman close and just held her for a time letting her words sink in. He had expressed his feelings for her and she had returned the sentements. It was truelly a beautiful thing that had just happened. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. "I thought I came to learn, but I believe that my soul knew were to find you. I truelly do believe that we have been soul mates for many life times, and this one will be no different." He said in that deep soothing voice with its celestial accent. He leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss, and then pulled her close and contiuned to just hold her glade that she was his and in his arms.

The moment was long, but comfortable. Kail simply held onto it. Lingering not only in the moment, but in the physical and emotional sensations that filled it. She never wanted to move. In the end, however, her body won out.

Nice as it was to hold and be held by Taithrosa, the fact was that her little body and his giant one made the position grow uncomfortable for her back and legs. She pulled away, hoping that this difference in physic wouldn’t be such a problem that she wouldn’t be able to get all the actual contact she wanted and needed every time she was near this almost giant. Right now she could be content to keep a tight hold on his hand, but didn’t doubt that later on more hugging, or better, would be required. Suddenly she was concerned. Long kisses might end up being too much. Maybe this would end up as a physically unfulfilling relationship purely based on her tiny frame.

As always when presented with a problem or question, Kail wanted the answer right away. She loved him and would stay with him as long as he would have her, but this problem might make that a short time. She looked up at Taith and wondered how to ask the question now on her mind. She was all for trying out some solutions, but after that natural and fulfilling moment, it just seemed wrong to suggest. Not to mention the fact that Kail could feel herself blushing at the mere thought of asking Taith if he wouldn’t mind kissing her for a long time in various poses so that she could test to see if one was comfortable for them both.

The moment dragged on and she had to say something. So she just blurted out “Do you think we fit? That we can fit? Together, I mean. We must look odd, one tall and one small and maybe there is a reason it’s odd. Maybe holding each other like this just won’t. Work, that is. For long. I mean, we’ve kissed, but not for very long and it might not… Oh never mind. I don’t know what I’m saying anyway,” she finished when she was finally sure that every drop of blood in her entire body had gathered into her face. A quick thought flashed through her mind “Why did I say that? I’m so stupid! Why do I think at all? I ruin every good moment!” But once again it was too late to take it back what she had just said. All she could do was wait to see what he would do or say.

[Taithrosa Eldytia]

Taithrosa felt Kail move from a cuddle to holding hands. It was true that their size differences did make some intamite postions a little difficult. He wasn't particularlly worried about it though. In his memory as they stood next to each other holding hands Taithrosa had memories flash into his mind. There had been issues before, Taithrosa having been over seven feet tall then as well. He remembered that they had worked around the side differences before.

His silver eyes looked into hers as he took her other hand in his and looked down upon her lovelly face. It was different then fer previous life, but the core of it was still the same. There was something that transended the different race. He ran his fingures across her check as she spoke a soft and gentle smile on his face.

He knelt down so that they were closer. He smiled at her and spoke softly in his arcaic accent in his deep voice. "Kail, my love, our size difference is only a hiccup. I know how I feel about you." He leaned forward and kissed her gentle. "I am also more then willing to find ways to be close to you that are comfortable." He looked into hers with his silver eyes, the passion he felt for her flooding his eyes as he ran his hand along the scales on her face. "Thank you for telling me about your concern. We will find some ways to work around it." He then gaver her a mischivious grin, wrapped her in his arms and pulled her against his hard body and kissed her. He kissed her with a passion before letting her go, but still not letting her hand go.

[Kail D'Rea]

A Hiccup? As in it would go away? Kail didn’t think so. She felt like a child with Taith kneeling before her, calmly and quietly reassuring her. If he hadn’t included a sweet and caring tone and ended with such a passionate kiss Kail couldn’t help but return, Kail might have let a little fit of temper out. The problem was he always meant well. Kail could feel it. He didn’t intend to be condescending and she was sure he really did feel this was a small thing to overcome. She felt her anger pouring out into the kiss they were sharing and her focus moving to his lips pressed against hers.

They were nice when level with hers, so steady and firm. She didn’t have experience, but really this is what she’d imagined a good kiss would be, should be like. He applied even pressure, it wasn’t too moist, he didn’t close his lips, but they weren’t open either and the energy behind it was almost tangible. She tried to match him without over analyzing herself. Sadly for her, she was still thinking about it when Taith released her. Why did she always forget to enjoy it? This feed into her concern.

Clearly she needed a longer kiss in order to fully enjoy the experience. Kneeling that way couldn’t be comfortable for Taith. She couldn’t just accept what he said and hope that this would come easy later. She wanted to get this right before moving on to the things clearly suggested in the deep silver eyes looking into her. It was obvious to her that he did want to love her, to be with her, but she wasn’t going to skip steps and kissing came first. It meant a lot to her because if she could get this right, maybe she could really figure out a physical relationship. Her mind started working on a good way to end up getting what she wanted: a way to make her little body be more comfortable near Mt. Taith She mentally smiled at the image, but there really wasn’t humor. She was ready to walk and think about this problem. Anyway, she wanted to try sitting down and the clearing after lunch might be good. She was certainly getting more comfortable with This giant blue man who really was no longer a stranger, or even a friend, but her love.

“Taith, darling,” Kail tested out the endearment. It worked. Needed some use, but worked. “Darling,” she repeated. “I appreciate that you don’t worry about these things, but I’m afraid I do. I’m sorry to add to our supposedly open agenda today, but to get it off my mind, I think after lunch we should find at least one position I’m comfortable with. And this kneeling thing just isn’t it. Really.” She paused for breath and wondering if Taith picked up on that bit of negativity. She didn’t want him kneeling like that all the time. It was embarrassing. “Anyway, let’s move on. I’m ready to walk.”

[Taithrosa Eldytia]

He could feel her own passion in the kiss as there lips touched. It wasn't the tight liped kind of kiss but the partly opened mouth that gave promise of so much more. Taith enjoyed the kiss and the feel of her body pressed up against him. His eyes slowlly opened after the kiss had ended, his grin happy and excited.

He contiuned to smile as he looked at her and she told him that this position just wouldn't work either, but that she wanted them to practice. He stood up and took her hand. "My love I have no problem trying to find a better position to cuddle." He said in his deep voice with its archaic accent.

He held her small hand in his large one as they contiuned to walk towards the locations she wanted to show him. He enjoyed walking next to her just enjoying the smell of her as they walked. The Ethaefel was serious about this relationship. His memories of her were vague but they were still there. He was also positive that he loved this shy woman. She had an inner passion that made her great. So it was that he contiuned to walk and hold her hand.

[Kail D'Rea]

Kail wondered what Taith was thinking as they quietly walked along, but decided not to ask. Better give them both some time to recover from the last time she tried to talk. Certainly it helped her as she was ready to sit down, relax and eat by the time they made it to the field of soft grass they grew lush and green on her island home. While it wasn’t the same type of smooth even sameness of a manicured lawn, the length made up for it and after spreading the blanket on the top of the two-foot-high plants, they were able to sink onto it, forcing the growth into a springy soft cushion. It really was comfortable. They settled on a spot near the edge of the clearing, where they could sit in the sun and absorb the beautiful day, but wouldn’t have to shift much to get into the shade if it grew too hot.

Once settled they could look around the tree lined clearing and at the wild-flowers that grew both on the trees and in the meadow. After the cooling walk through the trees, it felt good to sink down in the sun. Kail was glad she’d remembered visiting her and brought Taith to share it. She hoped he would like it as much as she did.

Kail got right to work pulling lunch out of the basket Taith set down. She didn’t usually get much exercise in the morning and suddenly her stomach was calling out of a sandwich. She pulled them out and set them on the blanket along with the drink. She also pulled out the dessert, then quickly sliced the melon and placed the pieces on top of the basket. It wasn’t elegant, but it seemed just right to Kail: simple and quick. She stopped arranging things at set back to look to Taith. She hoped he would approve.

[Taithrosa Eldytia]

Taith walked quietly next to Kail in silences, but it wasn't the uncomfortable silence of two people who didn't know what to say, but the pleasent quiet of two people who were enjoying each others company. He held the basket as they contiuned to walk. Soon they came to the spot that she had previouslly choosen.

He looked at the lawn and admired the view as he set the basket down. The view was pleasenet and beautiful. Taithrosa lowered his large form down and settled on the ground. He looked over at her as she began to clear out the basket.

He looked over the spread and smiled. "This is a beautiful spot. Do you come here often?" He asked as they settled in. "So what are we having for lunch." He said sitting as close to her as possible. "I am glade that we have the chance to be out together."
