Hawk: *emerges from a portal, stumbling at the change of terrain and coming to his knees on the path towards the Bath House and Arena*
Raph: *appears near the pond, wings spread wide*
Hawk: *slowly gets his feet under him and brushes his bloody hands clean on his pants* Oh, fuck but that hurt.
Juraviel: *from a place in the treetops closeby Hawk, tosses a small bundle of red fabric at the guard* Here, it will serve you better than your trousers for that purpose.
Meier: *tumbles out of a portal, apparently in the middle of dodging something, and barely misses Hawk as he checks his fall, landing heavily on the path*
**a strange mongrel dog is sitting on the Lakeshore path, looking up at the angel with mixed eyes**
Akira: *drops down on top of Raphael*
Raph: *turns around, sensing a presence turns and looks at the dog for a moment before catching Akira in his arms* Hello there!
Hawk: *freezes at the multitude of motion, reflexively catching the bundle and other hand going to the axe-sheath on his hip, growling*
Dog: *tail wags and a strange doggie grin appears on his face as Akira lands on his lover*
Akira: *blushes* Hello Raphael.
Meier: *sits up and shakes his head, a slash mark above his eye closing up as the vampire manages to stand, claret eyes loosing their glow as he looks around* Ah... I am back. Wonderful.
Raph: *smiles at Akira and leans in to kiss his forehead*
Akira: *lets out a soft cry of surprise, blushing, but smiles*
Raph: *smirks and folds his wings around Akira* Missed you...
Juraviel: *moves to sit on a tree branch, making himself a little more visible to the two* I am glad to hear the interruption was appreciated.
Hawk: *mutters* Yeah, terrific...yet another day of work interrupted... *growls and wipes the blood off his palms having little success as the cuts on his arms haven't stopped their bleeding yet*
Akira: I missed you too, Ra-kun. *snuggles to him, sliding his arms around the back of Raph's neck*
Juraviel: *turns to Hawk, tone serious* Use the band I provided you with on your arms, it will ease the pain.
Meier: *nostrils flare and he shakes his head, claret eyes concerned* Are you well?
Raph: *smiles and kisses Akira tenderly* Want to go for a ride?
Akira: *smiles* As long as you promise not to drop me.
Hawk: *looks skeptically at the cloth in his hands* Sure it will... *looks at the vamp* I'll survive, just a little cut up is all, fucking claws...
Raph: Of course I won't drop you. *smiles and leaps into the air*
Juraviel: It is elvish medicine, do with it as you like.
Meier: *nods* I know the feeling. Tedious. *pulls a handkerchief from a jacket pocket and wipes at his brow, getting rid of the evidence that he'd been wounded.*
Hawk: Glad to know you don't like it. *shrugs and wipes the collecting blood from the cuts, amazement quirking up his eyebrow* Well, I'll be damned it is magic...
Akira: *giggles softly and continues to snuggle to Raph while looking around the grounds*
Kou: *falls from a portal near Meier and Hawk, landing on his feet*
Juraviel: Wrap the wound with it, it will stem the bleeding as well. *smiles as Kou lands* But, I shall take my leave of you three, I have other matters to attend to. *a soft rustle of leaves is heard, and the elf is gone*
Meier: *watches* Interesting. *turns his head to look at the newcomer* Hello.
Raph: *holds Akira close to him as he soars higher and higher into the darkening sky*
Hawk: *flicks his gaze to Kou and then back to where the elf disappeared* Hmmm...
Akira: Do you fly around a lot?
Kou: *nods to Meier, brushing scarlet bangs out of his eyes*
Raph: *nods* When it's necessary.
Akira: Is it a lot of work to fly?
Meier: *smiles slightly* I believe I shall take my leave. Have a splendid evening. *practically disappears himself*
Hawk: *wraps the cloth around the worst of the cuts, before relaxing enough to appraise the stranger*
Raph: *shakes his head* Not really. If I fly a lot my wings get somewhat tired, but not noticably so.
Akira: *smiles* That's good...I'd feel bad if taking me for rides meant you'd get hurt or tired or something.
Kou: *blinks as Meier disappears*
Hawk: *shrugs off the disappearance, having grown used to such things*
Raph: *kisses Akira's cheek* It's alright. This brings back memories doesn't it?
Akira: *smiles and nods* Yeah...nice ones.
Kou: *nods to Hawk, remaining silent as he looks up at the stars*
Raph: *soars over the garden* Indeed.
Akira: *smiles and looks at the garden from his arms*
Robinton: *drops down most unceremoniously onto one of the plush chairs in the lounge with a bit of a surprised sound*
Hawk: *sighs and rips the ragged sleeves from the shirt* Not your usual haunt is it?
Kou: *shakes his head* No, I've only been here twice before. [It's good to get away from *her* though..]
Hawk: *nods, using the ratted sleeves to cover the rest of the cuts* It's a lovely place, I've yet to see it's like.
Raph: *hovers in the air above the lake* Definitely a different view from up here isn't it?
Kou: It is very beautiful here. *smiles ever so slightly at Hawk*
Akira: *nods* Yeah.
Robinton: *still a little disoriented from the change in the usual displacement, getting up off the chair and straightening his clothing before heading out into the hall*
Hawk: Better than the city... *smiles at Kou* My name is Hawk. *rubs his palm once more against his pantleg before offering it to the youkai*
??: *a semi-translucent figure appears in the hall near Robinton*
Raph: *smiles and holds Akira close*
Robinton: *turns his head, slightly startled and blinks at the apparition, taking a step away from it*
Kou: *takes the hand and shakes it once before letting go* Kougaiji.
Akira: *kisses Raphael's neck gently*
Hawk: A pleasure... So who are you when you're at home?
??: *looks around and down at his hands, noticing he is in spirit form once again* Where the hell am I? This isn't Hades.... *notices Robinton and smiles*
Raph: *smiles and begins to descend*
Akira: *giggles a bit* Tired of holding me?
Kou: I am a youkai prince.
Raph: No, but if things are going to go further than this I'd rather be in a sturdy bed. *smirks impishly*
Akira: *blushes* Raphael!
Raph: *grins*
Robinton: *eyebrow raised as he speaks* No, this is most certainly *not* Hades... *still a little perplexed by the nearly-transparent young man*
Hawk: *some unidentified emotion flashes across his face* A prince? My sympathies, Kougaiji.
Akira: Don't say things like that!
Kou: *looks at Hawk, slightly puzzled*
??: Would you happen to know where I am then? *his form becomes more opaque slowly*
Robinton: *watching the figure intently* Of course... this is the Fall Inne.... pardon me, but is that.. usual?
Raph: Why not? *smirks and kisses Akira deeply*
Akira: *returns the kiss, blushing a bit* You know why not!
Hawk: *doesn't elaborate on his response*
??: Oh I see.. No, this isn't normal.. it just means I'm dead... *adds with a sarcastic tone* Again...
Robinton: Is that such an oft-occurring thing for you? My friend, you *do* have problems... no small wonder you're here.
Kou: *remains silent and turns back to look at the stars*
Raph: Do I?
Hawk: Well, lad, you don't look like you want company.
??: Not really... but this is the third time.. *sighs*
Akira: Yes.
Raph: Are you sure? *smirks*
Akira: Yes!
**A portal opens in the garden, and Vanyel, clad in battered Whites, comes riding in, slumping a little in his saddle**
Robinton: Three seems like more than enough. Is there a lesson you should be learning, that you're not, so it keeps sending you back for more?
Raph: *chuckles*
Akira: You just ignore it. *smiles a bit*
Vanyel: *Swings off Yfandes' back and is suddenly still.* [It can't be....]
??: Lesson? *laughs* I doubt it.. *looks down at his arm which is now flesh once more* I think I'm just in something way over my head..
Kou: *shakes his head* It's not that. I'm just not used to this.. *searches for the right word* .. freedom.
Robinton: *shakes his head a little* I'd say that as well... three times, lad, I'd say that were impossible if I wasn't already used to many strange things.
Hawk: Ah, well, guess what, you'd better get used to it. Because little nooks like this are all for it. God knows I need it.
Rion: *falls out of the sky in the Entryway, landing flat on his face with a grunt*
??: *snickers* In any normal situation it would indeed be impossible..
Vanyel: *confers quickly with Yfandes, who heads off for the stable as he heads into the Inne through the Sun Room*
Robinton: *chuckles* Stress the *normal* there, lad. Not much of that around places like these... *turns at the sound of a body hitting the floor* {I suppose that proves my point, doesn't it...}
Raph: That's true... *smirks mischievously*
Shane: *drops with a cry into the bushes near Hawk and Kou* Shit shit shit!
Akira: I know it's true!
Kou: *whips around at the sound*
Vanyel: *exits the Sun Room into the hallway*
Rion: *sits up with a groan and rubs his head* Ow. *winces and gently probes a small lump on his forehead*
??: *blinks and turns around*
Hawk: *head snaps toward the familiar cursing, a small smile curling up his lips* I'll be damned.
Shane: Goddamn sonuvabitch! *twists, trying to free himself and succeeding only in getting his shirt more hopelessly tangled*
Robinton: *heads into the Entryway* Everything alright, lad? Anything broken? *offers a hand as he reaches Rion's side*
??: *watches in silence*
Vanyel: *heads down the hall and comes on the crowd into the Entryway, halting* [It can't be him....Lord and Lady...]
Rion: *looks up at Robinton, then hesitantly accepts the hand* Nothing hurt but my pride. I'm usually fast enough to stop the crash landings
Hawk: *nods politely to Kou* Excuse me a moment... *heads over to the shrubbery* Well, well, look what the cat drug in.
Raph: *chuckles* Do you want to fly around more or shall we go somewhere more comfortable? *winks*
Akira: *blushes* It's up to you.
Kou: *watches the two* [Friends perhaps?]
Shane: Cat dropped in you mean? *looks up and sees Hawk, his face breaking into a smile*
Hawk: *laughs at his friend* Drug, dropped, does it matter? Stay still a moment and lets get you out of here.
Robinton: *chuckles softly as he helps Rion up* It can't be helped at times, though, I understand all too well, believe me. *glances up briefly at the sign of movement in his peripheral, doing a bit of a double take*
??: *snickers*
Shane: *nods* Thanks. *tries to still his struggles*
Vanyel: *upon getting a good look at Rob's face* Lord and Lady.... *sounds breathless*
??: *looks behind him to see yet another new face*
Hawk: *begins untangling the shirt from the brambles, hissing as one scrapes his palm* Next time, hit the lake.
Kou: *holds back a chuckle*
Shane: *razzes Hawk* Like I *asked* for this..... *notices the bandages on Hawk's arms, but doesn't say anything yet.*
Raph: Well in that case how about we fly for a few more minutes and then go do something fun? *smirk*
Akria: *smiles* Alright.
Robinton: *fixes his gaze on the white-clad figure, the voice as familiar as the face* {It... couldn't be... but he was just a boy, there's no way...}
Hawk: *grabs a fistful of Shane's shirt and hauls him from the bush getting too frustrated with trying to separate indivual brambles*
Shane: *eyes wide, gives a startled yelp as Hawk pulls him bodily from the bush, not even noticing the tears in his shirt*
Raph: *grins and flies toward the Inne*
Akira: *hold on tightly to Raphael*
Vanyel: *quietly* Robinton? *tentatively*
Hawk: I'm sorry about that, Shane. *brushes his friend off before turning back towards the youkai*
Robinton: *stepping away from Rion, moving slowly towards Van* Yes... *hesitates a moment* ...Vanyel?
Shane: It's cool....just startled me, is all.
Vanyel: *nods and says softly* You haven't changed in the least.... *smiles a bit*
Raph: *descends quietly on to the walk near the garden entrance*
Akira: Thank you for the ride Raphael..
Hawk: *grins and nods* Well, let's get a round of intros out of the way. Kougaiji, this is Shane an old and very dear friend of mine.
Robinton: *looks more than a little bewildered, eyeing the streaks of silver in Van's hair, and the matured features* I... can't say the same for you...
Shane: *Grins and offers a hand to Kou* Hey.
Vanyel: *Smiles a bit* It's been twelve years since I saw you last, Teacher-mine....
Kou: *nods to Shane and takes the hand, shaking it firmly* Pleased to meet you.
Hawk: *chuckles* At least Inne's are always good for meeting new faces.
Raph: You're welcome, Akira. *pulls him in for a tender kiss*
Shane: *nods* True that. *smiles a little and rakes a hand through his hair, trying to smooth it back*
Akira: *blushes as he returns the tender kiss*
Kou: *smiles ever so slightly*
Raph: *wraps his wings around Akira and places him carefully on his feet*
Akira: *smiles and breaks for air* Thank you.
Robinton: Twelve? Well, that more than explains a few things...{Still young to have silvered more than I, though...} *grins a bit and opens his arms* Come here, lad, you're the last thing I expected to find here.
Hawk: *stretches slightly* So, lads, what do we feel like doing? It's nice out here and all, but those clouds are going to give me a headache.
Vanyel: *hesitates but a moment before going willingly into that embrace, wrapping his arms tightly around the Harper* I've missed you terribly, Teacher-mine... *Whispered*
Shane: Clouds? *Looks up and his eyes widen* What the hell?
Kou: *shrugs and looks up at the gathering clouds*
Raph: *smirks and enters the Inne with Akira*
Akira: *walks in with Raph, blushing slightly still*
Hawk: *decidedly doesn't look up, rubbing the heel of his hand against his good eye* Yeah, those clouds.
??: *smirks and leans against the desk, looking up at the carving in the wall*
Robinton: *returns the hug just as firmly and smiles* I've missed you as well... though four months and twelve years can't even begin to compare...
Raph: Where shall we go?
Akira: I don't know...
Shane: Wow....I've never seen anything like that... *tone awed*
Raph: *thinks* Well, we could go upstairs...
Vanyel: It's been a busy twelve years back home.... *finds himself hoping the Harper won't notice he's decidedly thinner under those Whites*
Akira: *smiles* Alright.
*and the carving on the wall looks back at ??*
Hawk: It's like a rainbow all gone wrong...
Kou: *looks back at the other two*
??: *jumps a little* Fuck man that thing is weird...
Shane: I wonder how it happened....simple light refraction or if it's just a product of the Chaos?
Raph: *smiles and ascends the stairs with Akira*
Hawk: I don't plan on finding out, but if you want to go asking the powers that be, go to it.
Akira: *smiles and goes with Raphael*
Shane: *blinks and looks at Hawk, then laughs a little* I was doing it again, wasn't I?
Robinton: *is a little too perceptive, and frowns a little at feeling the lack of flesh to Van's body* {So busy, I'll wager he forgets to eat half the time...} Tell me about it all, Vanyel, it's been long enough.
Vanyel: A more comfortable place, perhaps.... *smiles a bit and considers his battered attire* I haven't had a decent rest in weeks.
*a well-dressed gentleman appears behind the desk, half leaning on it* Weird... second nicest thing anyone's ever said, I think.
??: *laughs* I'm sorta used to spooky things like that..
Raph: *stops on the second floor landing, the galleries catching his eye*
Akira: *bumps into him* Huh? Is something wrong?
Robinton: *as he slowly releases the Herald* Mmm, you look it. Where shall we adjourn to, then? Do you know these halls well enough to choose, or is the decision mine? *smiles*
Hawk: *nods* You were...
Vanyel: *chuckles* I know the halls well enough, but I'll leave the decision up to you anyway.
Raph: No, but I haven't noticed these before...
Akira: Oh...me neither. *smiles a bit*
Shane: *blushes a little* Sorry about that.
Raph: *walks into the Patron's Gallery*
Akira: *follows Raphael, looking at the portraits* It's nice..
Raph: It is. *looks around at the portraits of each Patron, stopping suddenly when he reaches one of a redhead with clown makeup*
Xanth: Spooky? *looks up at the stone face* Should I fix that? *waves his hand, and the stone face shifts into a grotesque smile, possibly more frightening than the previous expression, for all his efforts* There, now.
Hawk: *laughs* Oh, sorry is it? I could aways find a way to get back at you later...
??: *snickers*
Shane: *chuckles* I have no doubts of that....so where were you headed?
Akira: *looks up at him* That's...an odd portrait...
Hatter: *Leans down out of the portrait and blows Raph a kiss, winking*
Akira: *jumps back, startled* It moved!
Hawk: Anywhere indoors, I want to get away from those mind bending colors up there. Maybe the bathhouse since we're almost there anyway.
Robinton: *shrugs and starts down the East hallway* Suit yourself, but I'm afraid I'm still stuck with old habits.. *as he heads unerringly for the library*
Raph: *blinks as he's kissed* Still up to your old tricks I see... Belial...
Kou: The bath house sounds like a good idea.
Xanth: *laughs at Akira's expression* Would you like it to sing and dance, too?*winks*
Shane: *grins* Sounds good, yeah.
Akira: *looks at Xanth, alarmed* T-The pictures talk too?
Vanyel: *smiles* I think that's easy enough to accomodate. *follows*
Hatter: *expression hardens and s/he hisses* No one calls One by that name, Raphael. No one by my Lord.
Hawk: *smiles a little* Then let's go. *gestures Kou in the proper direction, gently prodding his friend along*
Shane: *chuckles and let's himself be prodded* So what happened to your arms?
Raph: *smirks* Oh yes, pardon, but I forgot. *bows to the painting*
Robinton: *smiles back at the Herald as he pushes open the door to the library, still amazed at how the years have changed his student. Blinks a moment as he eyes a bit of knotted blue cord around Van's shoulder*
Akira: *holds onto Raph's arm* Who is that?
Hatter: *smirks right back* If you must have a name for One, One is called Mad Hatter.
Xanth's portrait: *is completely still, showing no signs it ever moved*
Vanyel: *removes his cloak as they enter the library, draping it over one arm*
Hawk: *shrugs* Bit off more than I could chew without back up.
Raph: But of course. *smirks*
Shane: How bad?
Kou: *follows the two silently*
Akira: You know Mad Hatter, Raphael?
Hawk: *dodgy* Not that bad...
Raph: *nods* I do. She is from my world.
Shane: *raises an eyebrow* So then you'll let me see them?
Xanth: *chuckles as well, turning back to ??* So, now, I suppose I'll be formally welcoming you, since my staff seems to be shirking. *smiles* Welcome to the Fall Inne, where the strange is usual and the usual is unheard of.
Akira: *smiles* Ohh...well it's nice to meet you Mad Hatter...
Hatter: *looks at Raphael, then Akira, then Raphael again* Your lover, Raphael? One thought the emotion unknown to you.
??: *chuckles* So, what's the deal with this place anyway?
Hawk: *frowns a little* Of course you can, they're just a few cuts nothing fatal.
Robinton: *shakes his head and grins a bit as the cloak comes off, confirming what he'd seen* All those years, you're still wearing that?
Shane: *Smiles* Would make me feel better if I did. Sorry, Rupert, it's an old habit.
Vanyel: *blinks then looks down at the cord and smiles fondly* Indeed.
Hawk: *growls at the use of his real name*
Raph: You have missed much then, Hatter, for since that incident with you I have changed considerably. *turns to Akira* She is a former Virtues. She followed Lucifel, now Lucifer, down to Hell when he rebelled.
Akira: *nods, somewhat understanding* So...she had your job first?
Shane: *blinks*
Xanth: 'What's the deal?' Well, what are you looking for? A good time? We deal in that. A good night's sleep? That too. *reaches up and pinches ??'s cheek* Flesh? We can do that too, Katou, and let me tell you, it suits you.
Robinton: *his smile turns a little warmer* It meant that much to you, did it?
Vanyel: More than you can possibly imagine..... *Softly*
Katou: You can do that? *snickers* Better than being a ghost anyway.
Hawk: *steps closer to Shane, letting his lips brush against his companion's ear murmuring* Rupert only exists for you lot, not for stray young pups that we meet... *tilting his head slightly to indicate youkai trailing behind*
Shane: *shivers a little at the fleeting brush of lips* Sorry about that.... *softly* It just feels unnatural calling you Hawk.
Kou: *looks around at the gardens as they walk, a few feet behind the other two but his youkai hearing picks up every word*
Robinton: *softly as well* I think I might be able to imagine, Van... *settles onto one of the couches by the fireplace, motioning for Vanyel to join him*
Raph: *shakes his head* No, she and I were both Virtues. There are many angels in each of the nine choirs.
Akira: Ohhhh...is she as bad as you are?
Hatter: *laughs brightly* One was worse.
Hawk: *purrs* Then don't use either name, the Forest Kingdom is long gone for me and so is Rupert. Only you and Rob bring out that part of my heart. *pauses to trip the latch of the bathhouse door when the arrive at it*
Shane: *says nothing at that, only nods*
Vanyel: *walks over, sinking into the couch wearily*
Raph: Akira! *laughs*
Xanth: *nods* I'd say so. Might come in useful at some point, you never know. *smiles* You think you like what you're getting here, then? Should we look into getting you settled?
Akira: *smiles* What? You're not very angelic for an angel you know.
Hatter: *smirks* He was worse, too....
Hawk: *opens the door smiling warmly at Shane, letting the other two proceed him inside the humid building*
Katou: Sounds good! What do I have ta do? *smirks*
Robinton: *looks over at the Herald, frowning slightly* You look positively exhausted. Have sleep and food become things you no longer require over these long years?
Shane: *slips into the bathhouse without a word*
Vanyel: *sighs softly* Do you recall me telling you, when last we spoke, that I feared a war on the Karsite Border?
Kou: *enters the bath house after the others*
Raph: *throws his head back and laughs* I was, that is all past however.
Xanth: *chuckles as he reaches under the desk and procures a key, pushing it across the desk to Katou* Simply put? Not a thing other than picking that up, and claiming your suite.
Akira: So, if you were worse...how come you didn't get sent to Hell too? *looks at Raphael with genuine curiosity*
Katou: Sweet. I wonder if there are any others here that I know... *takes the key*
Hatter: *Laughs at that, head thrown back* Such innocence! Where did you find this one, Raphael?
Robinton: *ponders a moment, then nods slowly* I do... has it come to pass, then?
Hawk: *enters the bathhouse, unbuckling the axe-belt from his hips and draping it over one of the hooks in the changing room* Damn, but it's been a while since I've had this kinda luxury to bask in.
Vanyel: *nods* We've been at war with them for several years....Lately, it's gotten worse.... *voice drops* I've lost several good friends....
Shane: *pulls off the torn shirt and eyes it critically, oblivious to the ugly bruises on his chest and sides* I hear that.
Xanth: *smiles and chuckles* Oh, anything's possible, I think.
Raph: *leans against the wall for support, still laughing* It wasn't a matter of being sent to Hell.. those faithful to Lucifer followed him down.
Katou: *thinks about Lucifer and grins* I certainly hope so!
Akira: Oh..but I thought you could be sent to Hell...didn't you mention that?
Kou: *walks over to a lounge and removes his jacket and bracelets*
Raph: Oh, that.. no. Perhaps you are thinking of Hades.
Akira: ...I really don't know then. *smiles a bit* Okay, say Hades. If you were so bad, how come they didn't force you to go there then?
Hawk: *removes and tosses aside the torn up white shirt, frowning as he gets a glimpse of the dark marks on Shane's skin* That couldn't have been from the shrubbery...
Shane: Huh? *as he tosses the ruined shirt negligently aside*
Robinton: *nods slowly* I'm sorry to hear that... though it seems to be something all wars have in common...
Raph: *chuckles* Hades is where the human souls go when people die.
Vanyel: *nods* We're running desperately short of Herald-Mages...I've been forced to take the place of five...
Akira: *clearly doesn't get it* I see...well it's still nice to meet you Mad Hatter. *smiles at the picture*
Xanth: Well, you won't find out if you spend all your time with this handsome fellow... *gestures back up at the stone face, who winks at Katou* Go look around a bit.
Katou: *chuckles at the wink* I think I'll do just that! Thanks a lot!
Hatter: *nods* A pleasure.
Raph: It's complicated.. *smirks and bows to Hatter*
Hawk: *steps up to his friend ghosting his hand over the bruises* All of this mess...
Akira: Ra-kun, you don't have to tell me that, I know it's complicated. *smiles*
Shane: *Gasps at the touch* Oh, those.... *smiles a little* Minor automobile accident.
Raph: *chuckles*
Hatter: *bows back to Raph, and then resumes his/her original pose in the painting, becoming still again*
Robinton: *raises an eyebrow* Five? No offence meant, Van, but you certainly look as if you've been worn to the bone. I can't say it surprises me too terribly that you're here as well.
Vanyel: *chuckles* I'd be here either way. I'm a Bouncer, after all.
Xanth: You're quite welcome. *grins and gives a slight tilt of his head before vanishing in a theatrical puff of smoke*
Hawk: *growls* And you worry about me?
Kou: *remains silent, unsure of what to say and removes his boots and pants before lowering himself into the water*
Akira: *smiles at Raph*
Robinton: *shakes his head* So you've volunteered to be on duty on another plane as well? Vanyel, are you trying to work yourself to the bone, or has it become habit?
Shane: *shrugs* It could have been a lot worse. This was just from the safety equipment that kept the crash from killing me.
Vanyel: *chuckles* Sometimes, Teacher-mine, I think it's purely habit.
Raph: *smiles as the picture becomes still again and pulls Akira in for a deep kiss*
Akira: *blushes darkly and parts after a few moments* Raphael!
Raph: What?
Hawk: *sighs defeated, peeling the bloodstained leather pants down as he kicks the worn boots off* Please be careful, Shane.
Robinton: One almost worth unlearning, I'd think. Give yourself time to relax... *reaches over, picking out a strand of silvered hair for a brief moment* Daresay you could use it.
Shane: *leans down to untie his tennis shoes* I'm always careful....
Vanyel: *laughs a little* Much as I wish I could claim it was teh work, that isn't where my silver comes from...
Hawk: *begins to unwind the makeshift bandages, letting the scraps drop to the floor, murmuring* ...alright then...
Robinton: *quirks an eyebrow* Oh? Care to explain, you've piqued my curiosity.
Kou: *relaxes in the water*
Katou: *wanders around the main floor, exploring*
Shane: *looks up as he toes off the untied shoes, walking over to Hawk, wrapping his arms around the man* I promise I'll be careful....
Vanyel: It's the price I pay for using Node Magic. *smiles a bit, watching Robinton toy with the silvery strands*
Akira: The pictures in here...move and stuff...*blush darkens* Don't do that...
Raph: *smirks* Aww why not?
Akira: The same reason you do everything else I tell you not to!
Hawk: *hugs Shane to him, wincing slightly as he does, whispering* Good, you promised me... *kissing his friend lightly*
Robinton: *smiles as well before realizing he's let his touch linger and pulls his hand back slowly* So, on to more pleasant subjects... how fares your lady companion?
Raph: *chuckles* Okay okay.. Shall we go?
Shane: *winces a little as the bruises are pressed against, but returns the kiss warmly* I did indeed....
Vanyel: *blinks, as if a spell has been broken as the Harper moves back* Yfandes is well, if a little irritated I left her to go to the Stable alone....but now she knows why.
Akira: *smiles* Sure. *takes hold of Raphael's hand, blushing faintly*
Hawk: *sighs happily, keeping one arm around Shane's waist, heads into the main room of the Bathhouse*
Raph: *leads Akira out of the gallery and up the stairs to the third floor*
Shane: *leans a little against Hawk as he's led, looking forward to soaking his bruised body*
Akira: *follows Raphael closely*
Raph: *unlocks his room and holds the door open for Aki*
Robinton: *chuckles softly* Send her my fondest greetings, and apologies for stealing your attentions, then.
Akira: *enters the room*
Katou: *walks back out to the entryway and up the stairs, still looking around*
Vanyel: *smiles and is quiet a moment before speaking again* She replies she'd like to see you again soon, but that you'd have her greatest appreciation if you'd make me relax for a time....
Hawk: *reaches the steps down into the elaborate pool and nudges his friend to go before him, glancing over at Kou* Made yourself at home I see, that's good.
Raph: *nudges the door closed with his foot*
Shane: *pauses a second, shimmying out of his ripped, worn jeans before stepping into the water, sighing happily as he descends into the warm water*
Akira: *smiles and takes a seat on the bed*
Katou: *looks through the galleries, stopping before the same portrait Raph stopped at only moments ago*
Hatter: *smirks a little* Well well, it's certainly a night for reunions....
Kou: *looks up and nods*
Hawk: *snags one of the bottles of oil before joining the others in the water* Really not much for conversation are you?
Katou: *smirks* Well hello to you too, Mad Hatter.
Shane: *winces a little as the water touches his bruises, but closes his eyes a little as he lets the heat sink in*
Robinton: *laughs softly* I suppose that depends on how willing you would be to let me aquiesce to the lady's request.
Raph: *sits beside Akira*
Hatter: How does this fair evening find you, Katou Yue?
Akira: *hugs Raphael, smiling*
Vanyel: *smiles a bit* What had you in mind?
Kou: I'm not really used to this, I usually have to watch what I say because of Gyokumen Koushu... *sighs*
Raph: *hugs Akira and nips at his neck*
Akira: *moans softly in Raph's ear* I really have missed you...
Katou: Better than I expected. *smirks impishly* I'm kinda dead though..
Raph: *smiles* As have I.
Hawk: *settles and sets the bottle nearby, ducking his arms into the warm water biting back a hiss* Well, now you're here and away from whatever troubles you at home... No one is going to go carrying tales...
Hatter: Death is merely an inconvenience.... *offhandedly*
Akira: *snuggles to Raph closely*
Shane: *finds a place to settle and does so, eyes drifting to half-lids as he soaks*
Kou: That's an encouraging thought. I'm glad she's not here, actually.
Katou: *snickers* Indeed.
Robinton: Well, in my own experience, hot water is wonderful when attempting to relax, and I seem to recall a bathouse in the garden. Our conversation can continue there, can it not?
Hatter: The task is nearly done....there are yet plans for you when they're finished. *Smiles a bit* He hasn't forgotten you.
Vanyel: *nods* Of course, if that's what you wish. *smiles*
Katou: *looks up, intrigued* Oh?
Hatter: *nods*
Raph: *kisses along Akira's jaw*
Hawk: Wouldn't be a place to relax if you let your troubles come with you... *speaks as one who knows he should follow his own advice*
Akira: *gasps softly, letting him*
Robinton: Since I've been asked to make you relax, yes, I believe it is what I wish. *smiles back, slowly rising to his feet*
Vanyel: *rises to his own feet, movements a little stiff*
Katou: And what sort of plans are those? Or is it a surprise?
Kou: That's true. *sighs*
Hatter: One could tell you, but One would rather you be surprised. Just know that his Lordship has not forgotten you. *smiles gently* And that he loves you.
Katou: *smiles genuinely* I'm very happy to hear that.
Robinton: *smiles a bit more, brushing a touch against Van's arm as he passes in a unnecessary indication that the man follow*
Hatter: *returns the smile* One would be jealous....but One is the Satan of Pride, not Envy...
Katou: *chuckles*
Vanyel: *smiles at the unnecessary touch* [Still so very handsome.....] *follows*
Shane: *falls into a half-doze, smiling contentedly*
Raph: *kisses Akira lightly, pushing him back onto the bed*
Akira: *relaxes as he falls back, kissing Raph back*
Hawk: *chuckles* Learn to relax, Kougaiji, it's all you can do here. *takes the oil and begins to rub it lightly into sore muscles, hissing a bit as it runs into some of the cuts*
Shane: *hears the hiss and cracks open an eye* Need some help?
Kou: *relaxes visibly and smiles slightly*
Robinton: *slows a little as they head out into the hall towards the Entryway so he falls into step beside Vanyel* So, is there anything more to the last years than your overworked self, or is that the long and the short of it?
Hawk: You don't have to, Shane... *the tone softens as he says his lover's name*
Vanyel: *smiles a bit* That's the long and the short of it, really.
Shane: *smiles* Yeah, I know... *stands and makes his way lazily over to Hawk, taking the oil from him and pouring a portion of it into his hands before setting the bottle aside, rubbing his hands together, and beginning to rub at +
Shane: the sore muscles with gentle, knowing fingers*
Raph: *breaks the kiss after a few moments, moving to nip at Akira's earlobe*
Akira: *gives Raphael another soft moan in his ear*
Robinton: *chuckles softly and shakes his head, putting an amiable arm around Van's shoulders* Can you at least tell me you've continued excercising your musical talents in all that time?
Vanyel: *gives a very pleased smile at the friendly gesture* Of course I have, although I've not had much chance to play recently...
Hawk: *grunts as knots of tension are ghosted over and slowly coaxed away* I'll return the favor if I still have motor control...
Shane: *smiles* I'll be careful not to overdo it, then.... *continues to massage the muscles gently*
Raph: *smiles and wraps his still visible wings around Akira* Shall we sleep here?
Kou: *closes his eyes and relaxes in the water*
Akira: *snuggles into the warmth of Raph's body* Mmm...okay...
Robinton: I wouldn't have thought so, with what you've been telling me. *takes a deep breath of the cooling air as they step outside the Inne, heading into the garden* We should remedy that at some point, I think.
Vanyel: *nods* I agree completely.
Raph: *smiles and pulls the sheets over them*
Akira: *yawns* I missed having you in my bed...
Raph: Did you now? *smiles* I missed it too..
Hawk: Mmm...God but this is good.... *relaxes slowly at Shane's ministrations*
Shane: *is careful to keep from pushing it too far, not wanting his friend to fall asleep in the water, either.* Glad you think so.
Robinton: *winks* After all, I have to ensure that my Harper is still worthy of his knot. *plucks lightly at the blue cord*
Katou: Well, I'm curious about this little project now, but I'll leave it as a secret. *smiles* I think I'm gonna go to my room.
Vanyel: *chuckles softly* I can only hope I will not disappoint you, Teacher-mine.
Hatter: *nods* Sleep well.
Hawk: *all but purrs, his eye half-closing in contentment* What else could I think?
Katou: I'll try. *snickers and waves as he exits the room*
Shane: *finishes the massage and wraps his arms around Hawk* I dunno...it's your mind.
Robinton: You never have in the past, I doubt you could now. *smiles at the Herald as they make their way through the grounds to the bathhouse*
Akira: ...And not just because of what you're thinking of.
Raph: *combs a hand through Akira's hair and chuckles*
Vanyel: *Smiles back, touching the knot lightly* I suppose we'll see.
Hawk: *leans aginst Shane a little* Yeah, but I thought you knew me better than that... *tone has a hint of wistfulness to it*
Akira: Just being with you is nice...when you don't do things I don't want you to. *smiles*
Raph: *smirks mischievously and cuddles close*
Akira: *laughs* Sometimes love...I love you. *snuggles and closes his eyes*
Shane: *softly, hugging Hawk tightly* And you still haven't learned to tell when I'm teasing and when I'm not....
Raph: *snickers* Only sometimes? *kisses Aki's forehead*
Hawk: *frowns a little* I was never any good at telling when you all were teasing me...
Akira: *laughs* That's not what I meant. I love you all the time.
Shane: *soothingly* I suppose it was harder to tell with me than most, since you never really saw much of me...
Robinton: I suppose. *makes no move to release Van as they come up on the bathhouse, reaching out with his other hand to open the door and allow them entry*
Raph: Good. *smiles and closes his eyes*
Vanyel: *almost unconsciously, leans against the older man slightly*
Hawk: *softly* It's not your fault... I don't have much of a sense of humor, I guess...
Kou: *poofs*
Akira: *falls asleep after kissing Raph's lips softly*
Shane: Hmmm....maybe.... *nuzzles Hawk's hair gently*
Katou: *walks up the stairs and opens the door of his room, entering and looking around before undressing and crawling into his bed*
Hawk: *purrs a little at the attention* Yeah, maybe...
Shane: *Smiles and nuzzles Hawk again, rather liking the reaction*
Raph: *falls asleep shortly after Akira with a smile on his face*
Hawk: *more decided purr, relaxing in Shane's embrace*
Shane: *whispered* That's better....
Hawk: *softly* Hmm? *shifts to rest his hands over Shane's arms*
Shane: *Smiles* You're relaxing finally.... *quietly*
Robinton: *smiles down at Vanyel at that, slowly releasing him as the door shuts behind them* {Still, I cannot believe this is the same young man..} *gives the Herald one more glance as he moves away to start getting changed*
Hawk: *murmurs, snuggling closer* Of course I am, you're here now. I'm not alone.
Vanyel: *moves away from Rob, turning slightly as he starts to remove his Whites, inspecting them carefully and shaking his head*
Shane: *nods a little* Neither of us are.... *softly*
Hawk: *turns a little in Shane's arms, tilting his head up in invitation* You're right, we're together now.
Shane: *grins and shifts slightly, pressing his lips to Hawk's in a soft kiss*
Robinton: *glances back and chuckles softly as he sees the other man appraising his clothing, hanging his shirt on one of the provided hooks* Almost a shame that you'll have to put those back on after we're done.
Hawk: *purrs again, holding onto the sweet kiss, fingers tightening on Shane's arms*
Vanyel: *looks over his shoulder and gives a small, wicked smile.* Now, whyever would you say that?
Shane: *moans softly back, pressing more firmly into the kiss*
Hawk: *turns a little more in Shane's arms, hungry for more of the kiss*
Shane: *pulls back a bit to nip lightly at Hawk's bottom lip*
Robinton: *raises an eyebrow and smirks a bit* That depends, how creative of an answer would you like? *as he turns back around to finish undressing, catches sight of the familiar axe hanging on another hook* {Rupert's here, then..}
Vanyel: *turns to finish his own undressing* How creative would you like to get. *smiles a bit* Although I'd caution you against anything i could hold you to....
Hawk: *pleased whimper, breathing out his companion's name as a soft purr the tone entirely Rupert's*
Shane: *smiles* Those are beautiful sounds.... *laps at the nipped lip gently*
Hawk: *smiles lazily* Oh, are they? Why don't you see what other sounds you can coax from me?
Robinton: Oh, and why's that? Would you make plans to? *hangs up the remainder of the clothing, catching sight of another set of clothing scattered on the floor of the changeroom* {Shane as well, then...}
Vanyel: *smiles a bit* Indeed....the Karsites don't much believe in the pleasures of the flesh....and it's been an extremely long time since I've had that nature of company...
Shane: *moans softly* How can I refuse such an offer? *kisses Hawk again, tongue sliding along the man's lips, silently demanding entry*
Hawk: *eagerly parts his lips, drawing the questing tongue into his mouth and sucking on it gently*
Shane: *Purrs into the kiss, drawing Hawk closer to him, one hand sliding into the dark hair*
Hawk: *moans and presses up against his lover, making a content sound as Shane's wandering fingers cause the loose tie holding his hair back to come free*
Shane: *hums in delight as the hair comes undone, combing his fingers through the dark mass*
Robinton: *purred softly as he steps up behind Vanyel* Then whyever would you caution me against such a response?
Hawk: *all but melts at the petting, letting an added edge of desire bleed into the kiss*
Vanyel: *sucks in a very soft breath* Perhaps...I am merely unsure...where you and I sit in relation to one another now....
Shane: *purrs softly, deepening the kiss further as his free hand begins to start wander over Hawk's skin*
Hawk: *trembles at the teasing touches, arms going around Shane's waist and holding him tight*
Shane: *purrs, sliding a hand down Hawk's spine to cup the toned rear, giving it a suggestive squeeze*
Hawk: *rocks his hips into his lover in response, a demanding mewl lost in Shane's mouth*
Robinton: *speaks softly* I might attempt to reassure you, though if pleasures of the flesh are but the only thing you seek, I can guarantee there will be no complications...
Shane: *groans low, hips rolling back, breaking the kiss to let his head fall back*
Vanyel: *softly* I've had no other touch my heart as 'Lendel did.....I am uncertain if anyone ever will... *voice drops* But I have long desired you, Teacher-mine....
Hawk: *smooths his hands over Shane's hips, taking advantage of the exposed throat to place a gentle bite on the skin there*
Shane: *moans softly* I like that..... *rolls his hips against Hawk's again*
Hawk: *moans in return* Do you? *laps at the bitten patch*
Shane: *shivers* Mmhmm....very much....
Robinton: *pauses a moment, taking that in and processing it before slowly raising a hand, gently setting it on Van's shoulder* Tell me now, then, why you fear you cannot have me...
Hawk: *grins* Very well then... *sets to worrying his teeth over the patch, intent on marking his lover*
Vanyel: *looks up at that gentle touch and smiles a bit* Perhaps I fear I would be unwanted...
Shane: *groans low* Nice...don't stop...
Hawk: *growls playfully, a sound rarely heard as he gives a particularly firm nip to the skin*
Shane: *gasps sharply, a hand threading into Hawk's hair* God....
Robinton: How simple a task to prove to you that you would not be... *leans down, pressing a gentle kiss to Van's other shoulder*
Vanyel: *gasps softly in surprise at that kiss*
Hawk: *licks a trail up to Shane's ear* My lover... *purrs deeply*
Shane: *groans softly* Yes...yours..... *whispered back*
Hawk: *lets his tongue explore the contours of the nearby ear in detail, purring the entire time*
Shane: *Shivers in Hawk's arms, moaning quietly* My god....
Robinton: *whispered, after pressing another soft kiss to the pale skin* A *very* simple task....
Vanyel: *shivers a little at the new kiss, a very soft moan on his lips* Been....so long.... *murmured*
Hawk: *tightens his hold, purring* I've missed you, I needed you.
Shane: I'm sorry I wasn't there.... *whispered* But I've missed you too...desperately...
Hawk: *nips at the earlobe* Show me... Please? *moans against the teased ear, the tone entirely seductive*
Robinton: Perhaps... it should be a bit longer... until we find ourselves in a place where we are truly alone... *whispers his lips against Van's neck as he speaks*
Shane: *shivers and groans* Anything for you.... *hand questing blindly for the oil he'd set aside*
Vanyel: *shivers at the soft words and those velvet lips on the back of his neck* P-perhaps.....
Hawk: *smiles, and kisses Shane lightly, rocking their hips together to belie the sweetness of the kiss*
Shane: *Falters in his search as their hips come together, moaning low* Oh god... *as he returns the kiss*
Robinton: *lifts his head back up, drifting his fingers down Van's arm as he lets his hand drop slowly* I daresay the appeal of the water has been a bit misplaced, in that case...
Vanyel: *murmurs softly* Where would you like to go?
Hawk: *looks like a cat with cream* You say that so much... *nibbles on Shane's bottom lip*
Shane: *purrs* You are my God...without you, I'm nothing.... *softly*
Hawk: *pulls back to place a shushing finger on Shane's lips* I'm yours. You and Rob are the only ones who remember Rupert anymore... I'm tired of being alone, my heart yearns for you answer it, don't dwell on anything else now.
Shane: *nods a little, smiling at the finger on his lips*
Hawk: *smiles and kisses his lover, not removing the silencing digit, leaving the barrier to keep their lips from meeting fully to encourage Shane to become the aggressor he needs at the moment*
Shane: *Whimpers in protest of the blocking finger, before wrapping his tongue around it and drawing it into his mouth, sucking on it*
Robinton: *leans in once more to whisper against Van's hair* Anywhere... I would make love to you under the stars, see you bathed in moonlight...
Vanyel: *softly* That can be arranged.....
Robinton: *lightly grazes his nails against the small of Van's back, smiling gently* All the better, then.
Hawk: *eye rolls back, groaning low* Shane... oh, Mother of Mercy... such teasing... *gently brushes the digit against the warm tongue*
Vanyel: *Smiles a bit* Then gather your things.....I know of a secluded little spot not far from the lake...
Shane: *purrs and continues the teasing as his hand closes around the oil at last and he pulls Hawk to him and out of the water just a little*
Robinton: *purrs softly and nods, pulling back completely to start gathering his belongings*
Vanyel: *smiles and takes up the few garments he's removed, then waits for Rob silently*
Hawk: *moans hungrily, more than willing to let Shane shift him, letting one hand drop between them to feather over the other man's chest*
Shane: *purrs in approval, releasing the trapped finger as he gets some of the oil on one of his hands, slicking his fingers before setting the bottle aside and nudging Hawk up enough that he can prepare his lover without the water+
Shane: washing the oil away*
Robinton: *drapes his shirt over his shoulder and turns back to face Vanyel, reaching out to slide a gentle touch down the Herald's cheek*
Vanyel: *shivers a little at the touch, smiling, before leading Rob out of the bathhouse and down a tiny trail*
Hawk: *raises up a hungry sound echoing in the room* Shane...Shane, please...
Shane: *purrs and nods a little, sliding one slick digit into Hawk without much teasing, sensing the urgency in the other man*
Robinton: *follows along, eyes never straying from Vanyel for a moment*
Hawk: *groans and rocks back against the invading digit* Yes! Damn...been too long...
Vanyel: *picks his way easily down the trail, stopping when they reach the lake to get his bearings*
Shane: *makes a sound of agreement as he strokes that finger in and out slowly, lips caressing Hawk's skin, liking the sounds coming from the man*
Robinton: *stops as well, coming up behind Van, reaching up to move some of the silver-streaked hair aside and bending to nip the skin in one smooth motion* Is it much farther?
Vanyel: *gasps at that* No...not much farther....although as quiet as it is....this place would do just as well....somewhere near the water perhaps.... *whispered*
Hawk: *pants and rocks back insistently, a soft series of moans filling the air between them*
Shane: Very nice.... *works a second finger in, working as quickly as he can without causing unnecessary pain*
Hawk: *hisses* ..mmm... yesss... *slips his hands into the smooth silk of Shane's hair*
Shane: *Groans, head falling back a little* Love that..... *as he scissors those fingers apart gently*
Hawk: *breathless* Do you? *tightens his fingers as he continues to ride back against the prepping digits*
Robinton: *chuckles softly* Here, there, you decide, this night is as much for you as it is for me, is it not? *worries that same patch of flesh gently*
Shane: *Moans* yes...... *careful begins adding the final slim digit* ....need you so much....
Vanyel: Here, then.... *takes his cloak, using his Fetching skill to lay it out gently on the sand, near the water but not too close as he leads Rob over*
Hawk: *pants the needy sounds coming from his throat growing in volume, begging softly* Then take me... I'm yours... all yours...
Shane: *groans at the soft words, leaving off his prep work to coat his own aching need thoroughly* Anything.... *settles again and pulls Hawk into his lap, impaling the dark-haired man slowly*
Hawk: *moans and arches his back, fingers tugging gently at the hair he still holds* Perfect.
Robinton: *lets his clothing slide off his shoulder, leaving it in the grass as he lets himself be led, arms going around Van's waist as they reach the edge of the cloak* Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever be +
Robinton: holding you this way...
Shane: *purrs* You are.... *continues pulling Hawk's hips down until the man is sitting in his lap again*
Vanyel: I used to daydream....but I find the reality much better....
Robinton: *chuckles lowly, pulling Van against him* Wait a bit longer and tell me how much better the reality is... *brushes his lips against the Herald's jaw*
Vanyel: *moans very softly, shivering against the Harper* As you desire, Teacher-mine...
Robinton: Always as I desire... you accomadate me so willingly... *slides his hands down Vanyel's back, the tips of his fingers slipping past the waistband of the man's trousers* ... and if I wished nothing more than to give you all you desire?
Vanyel: *sucks in a soft breath, shivering a little* Then you should find me a very easy man to please.....
Robinton: Is that so? *purrs lowly and pushes their bodies together a bit firmer, rolling his hips against Van's*
Vanyel: *moans* Yes..... *eyes falling closed*
Robinton: *lets his hands slide around, working at unfastening the Herald's trousers slowly, leaning in to trace Van's lips with the tip of his tongue*
Vanyel: *shivers, barely daring to breathe lest this all turn out to be some kind of dream, parting his lips at that gentle tracing*
Robinton: *slips his tongue past those lips, glancing the briefest of touches against it's like, not pressing enough into the contact to warrant a full kiss*
Vanyel: *reaches up and threads a hand tentatively into Rob's hair, pulling him in for a more solid kiss*
Robinton: *groans low in his throat at the taste of the younger man's mouth as he's pulled into that deeper kiss, his eyes drifting closed*
Vanyel: *purrs softly, his own pale eyes closing at the kiss*
Robinton: *reaches down, taking one of Van's hands and laying it against his chest, wanting to feel those soft hands against his skin*
Vanyel: *moans, his hand beginning to explore Rob's chest with a light touch*
Robinton: *moans softly at each of those gentle brushes, starting to push the remaining covering off Van's hips*
Vanyel: *purrs softly, letting the pad of his thumb brush along one of Rob's nipples*
Robinton: *gives a soft gasp, breaking the kiss to glide the tip of his tongue down Van's jaw, neck and throat and purrs* Mmm... do that again...
Vanyel: *breathlessly* Gladly... *as he repeats the touch*
Robinton: *moans, grazing his teeth against Van's collarbone, using gentle touches to urge the other man down to the cloak that had been laid out previously*
Vanyel: *allows himself to be guided down, pulling Rob down with him*
Robinton: *settles comfortably poised over the other man, reaching down to begin loosening his own slacks, panting softly against Van's lips*
Vanyel: *closes his eyes completely, whispering telekinetic touches all over Rob's body*
Hawk: *moans softly arching against Shane*
Shane: *gives a small roll of his hips, hands resting lightly on Hawk's hips*
Hawk: *purrs and leans in to nip his lover's already marked neck*
Robinton: *groans at the feel of those unseen touches, reaching up to brush some of the silver patterned ebony hair from Van's face*
Shane: *Groans low* Do that again....
Vanyel: *opens his eyes a crack at the tender touch and smiles*
Robinton: *whispered, as he starts gently pulling on the Herald's remaining article of clothing, urging it off* Does the reality still live up to the daydreams?
Hawk: *growls an affirmative and nips more firmly*
Vanyel: Exceeds it.... *softly*
Shane: *Groans, thrusting more sharply into Hawk*
Hawk: *sharp gasp as he rocks back to encourage the rougher treatment*
Robinton: *smiles gently, brushing their lips together* I'd hoped to hear that... *as he slides his palm up one of Van's thighs*
