Endre blushed, feeling somewhat ashamed that she still was not used to his [i]rather unique[/i] affections.

Eventually, he managed just enough courage to give her an answer. Not just any answer she would have liked to hear, but the truth: [color=39b54a]"Because I wanted you to get used to it."[/color] He said quietly.

[color=00aeef]"Why would you want me to get used to it?"[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Do you want me to stop?"[/color] Endre asked, teasing her.

She shifted around, a bit unsure of how to respond, [color=00aeef]"I don't know... it's kinda nice but if you are only doing it to get me used to it, and that's it... maybe you should stop?"[/color]

The half-elf stopped rubbing, again, [color=39b54a]"But, don't you think you've earned it?"[/color]

Azura made a face and shrugged her shoulders, [color=00aeef]"I don't know, I haven't done much of anything as First Elder other than try to secure our people's safety."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"No, not that. Someone you can call a loyal friend instead of servant."[/color] as his fingers began to glide up from Azura's thigh to her face, [color=39b54a]"Or, if you'll allow it, [i]more than a friend?[/i]"[/color] Endre at this point was trying to read the finer points in her posture, and facial-expression.

Azura silently thanked the gods once again that Endre couldn't see her blushing in the dark, beneath her blue fur even as he touched her warm cheeks, [color=00aeef]"The fur doesn't bother you?[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Do my smooth hands bother [i]you[/i]?"[/color] He asked, hoping she'd say they weren't, despite what he was doing with them.

[color=00aeef]"Well, we aren't exactly able to choose the way that we are born can we?"[/color] Azura replied as she leaned her face into his hand slightly.

[color=39b54a]"No, we can't."[/color] He answered as he drew Azura's face in closer to his and kissed it; [color=39b54a]"but we don't hold that against each other."[/color] he said as he kissed her a second time, under her muzzle, leading-up to a third one on her neck.

[color=00aeef]"Well... no..."[/color] she replied on a higher pitch, [color=00aeef]"Um... what are you... doing?"[/color]

Endre didn't say anything as he was too busy kissing as his deft left hand worked up from inside Azura's thigh around to her back, then suddenly stroked the base of her tail. His right hand left Azura's face and combed behind one of her ears as it inched dangerously close towards her bra-strap.

[color=39b54a]"I'm doing what I want."[/color] Endre stated  quietly into Azura's ear as he took a soft breath of fresh air.

[color=00aeef]"H-hey! Not the tail! How many times do I need to tell you that?"[/color] Azura demanded, swatting at Endre's hand a little, [color=00aeef]"You... um... why are you..."[/color] Out of embarressment, she hid her face in the Elf's neck and bit into his shoulder, though not hard enough to hurt him.

Endre's hand went up to scratch the back of Azura' neck, and tugged her scarf loose until it fell off onto the floor as he noticed she was getting a little hot under the collar, his other hand obeyed Azura's wishes for the time being and his fingers danced and glided along her spine as he kicked his boots off.

But then as the elder bit into his shoulder, the half-elf wasn't sure of his actions, he felt as though she was on the verge of tears as it was quite possible she couldn"t handle all this attention, [color=39b54a]"You're awfully warm all of a sudden. Are you feeling alright?"[/color] He asked, showing for a brief moment geniune concern as he tried to soothe her nerves... by continuing to do exactly what he was already doing...

[color=00aeef]"You know damn well I am not used to all this affection,"[/color] she murmured, releasing his shoulder and giving the area she bit a tentative lick, [color=00aeef]"I'm just nervous, and not at all sure what to do with this."[/color] Frowning, she simply rested her head on his shoulder and tilted her ears back, her tail wrapping around one of Endre's arms. She had no idea what the male was up to, nor had she expected to end up in the situation she was now considering she had only planned to have a conversation with him.

Endre gave Azura a slight squeeze, a tiny hug as she licked his shoulder, [color=39b54a]"Well, we could go at [i]your[/i] pace. But then we'd have died of old age before getting this far."[/color] He began to suggest, before doubling-back on his helpfulness by making light of how much progress they'd made in one night.

He then noticed her tail enthralled around one of his arms, beckoning for his attention, [color=39b54a]"We could just lay here for the night, see what happens."[/color] He said, giving her majesty a kiss on the forhead as his fingers brshed the end of Azura's tail as it came within reach, figuring Azura's pace may not be [i]so slow[/i] as to be intollerable after-all. Although to speed things up just a bit, his other hand [i]did[/i] manage to unbutton the clasp on Azura's bra.

[color=00aeef]"No more articles of clothing are to be stolen tonight,"[/color] she said as she gave him a playful glare, her arms moving up so she could cover herself, [color=00aeef]"Though I [i]guess[/i] I could stay the night if you really want me to. It is kinda nice to be close to someone when I sleep, seems less lonely anyway."[/color] The tip of Azura's tail playfully smacked at Endre's hand after he had stroked it.

Endre woke-up late that morning, having long-since forgotten that he was to help Kharlee remodel the store earlier. Instead, more pressing matters drove him to act today. His talks had kept Kharlee from siding with the rebels, and they would stay in Azura's good graces -with benefits- for the time-being. But all it would take was for one associate to bring trouble into their lives...

So that afternoon he set-out, he set-out to check the backgrounds of everyone who worked with Kharlee, everyone she offered to help. Even despite her less than sociable demeanor, the list was quite extensive.

That afternoon he spied their normal delivery-person. [i]Cass[/i], was it? They were moving swiftly through the city as any good courier should, but Endre had a bit more experience in that field from his younger, far less prosperous days by making things meet in far less moral ways.
