[color=Mediumpurple]"Darius the Daring thinks that is a wonderful idea!"[/color] And though he was playing around a bit, his statement was honest. He had been walking around town for the majority of the day. Come to think of it, he had gotten a lot of mileage today. [color=Mediumpurple]"Allow me to escort you to my luxurious abode."[/color] [color=Palevioletred]"Mmh..."[/color] Nur mused, taking his hand, a thoughtful look on her face. [color=Palevioletred]"Luxurious you say? I will just have to see"[/color] They took a more quiet route bordering the Seaside park. After a short walk they reached a residential area. The houses in River Port reflected the character of the town. Most were made of bricks, with wooden rooftops, painted in calming hues of blue and green. At first Nur didn't care much for the town. It was a nice change of pace to the larger cities she was accustomed to. It had its own kind of charm, something about it reminded her of the past, but she couldn't put her finger on it. It was a strange feeling, like a faded memory. They approached a neighborhood which bordered a stretch of land. Rows of thin wooden structures supported the creeping stems of beans, underneath these poles, green sprouts of several root vegetables popped up. Most farmers had already retired to their homes for the day, two of them were fixing up a scarecrow. [color=Mediumpurple]"Almost there."[/color] Darius commented as lead the way. His crimson eyes focused on the black gated entrance to where he and Aklenroth had stayed. While Darius had been out gallivanting in River Port, Aklenroth made arrangements to secure a comfortable and secure property for a short period of time. The home was a comfortable and well-kept, three-bedroom, two-story home. Out front in front of the gate was a bed of white petaled flowers that looked far better in the moonlight than during the day. [color=Mediumpurple]"Here we are!"[/color] Darius announced with a slight squeeze of Nur's hand. When the two reached the gate, Darius held it open for Nur to enter the property first. A brick garden path would guide her up to stone steps and to the front door with Darius trailing behind. Nur loved being treated like a princess. The house looked adorable, she took in all of the details while she walked up the steps to the front door. It was built next to or maybe even around a neighboring tree. The succubus admired the white blooms bordering the entrance. She picked one, gently lifting the stem until it snapped. Nur looked at it more closely, inhaling the scent. It wasn't particularly strong or recognizable, yet still pleasant. She tucked the flower behind her ear. [color=Palevioletred]"Let's go inside"[/color] She said with a cheerful smile, and in turn Darius guided Nur into the home. Placing a hand on a panel on the wall caused the light to illuminate throughout the first story of the home. He did the same as the two made their way up the stairs and to the bedroom furthest from the stairwell. As Darius illuminated the room, it was easy to tell it was not quite lived in yet. The covers on the bed were ruffled, the only sign that someone actually resided in the room. [color=Mediumpurple]"Not my typical room, but this isn't half bad, right?"[/color] He said as he removed his backpack and set it down near the foot of the bed. Nur let her eyes wander around the room. It looked very cosy, all the usual necessities were there. Besides it was either this or go back to Haldir, so being picky wasn't on the menu. Even if things were a little plain, Darius's company would make up for it. [color=Palevioletred]"It's cute..."[/color] She walked from one end of the room to the other, opening the door to the bathroom and such, so she knew where everything was situated. The bathtub would certainly be graced with her presence later tonight. She wanted to wash off the fishy aroma which had undoubtedly caught in her hair or clothes, or worse still, both. With one last longing stare at the marble tub she returned to the bedroom. Darius had taken off his backpack. [color=Palevioletred]What if she helped him some more?[/color] The succubus swayed over to his side and took his hand again, pulling him towards the bed. She was careful not to tug on him too hard, he was a little drunk after all and not that steady on his feet. Nur sat down on the bed, tapping the place next to her. [color=Palevioletred]"Want to relax a little bit?"[/color] She said, a cheeky smile on her lips. Nur took off her sandals and crawled onto the bed, sitting on her knees, waiting for Darius who met her gaze with a smile. [color=Mediumpurple]"Of course."[/color] He moved toward the bed with her, but stopped abruptly as he noticed the weight around his waist. The belt. He chuckled at himself briefly as he removed the leather utility belt and set it on top of the backpack. He was careful not to set it down on his instrument instead which he had removed while Nur was taking a short tour of the room. [color=Mediumpurple]"Okay now I'm mostly ready."[/color] He sat down and started to remove his boots so he could enjoy the comfort of the bed. [color=Mediumpurple]"There."[/color] He said as he freed himself from the boots and scooted back further onto the bed. There was a short moment of silence as he stared into her eyes. Nur stared back into his red eyes, trying to see into the soul of their owner. He didn't have the familiar hazed look of desire she saw often. If anything he looked a little tired. They had done a lot though. He was probably out and about even before they met this afternoon. Not everyone slept in as late as she did. She got even closer to him, leaving only a pillow sitting between them. [color=Palevioletred]"Are you enjoying the view?"[/color] She turned her head to the side with a smile, raising her brows, as if she was saying. [i]Well, are you?[/i] Nur's closeness seemed to pull at him to close the rest of the gap between them. This type of attraction was nothing new to Darius. If he was going to do anything, now was the moment... a moment to indulge. [color=Mediumpurple]"How could I not?"[/color] He said softly as he leaned in towards her. On course, he let his eyes slowly shut as his lips reached hers. Nur's eyes fluttered closed, feeling his lips touch hers. Her insides tingled and she kissed him back sweetly. She pushed him back gently without breaking their kiss, laying him down on the mattress. Reluctantly she stole away from his lips, keeping her face inches away from his. [color=Palevioletred]"I think you should get some sleep"[/color] She whispered, their noses touching. Nur kissed his forehead and moved away from him. She spread out the blanket over his tall frame and fluffed his pillow. [i]A few minutes later.... [/i] Nur breathed in the night air, spreading out her arms and looking up at the moon. She felt great, invigorated. Things were working out perfectly. She had escaped Haldir, found a lead on the rebellion and had a new place to sleep, all in just half a day. If thing kept going like this, she would be in Alkenroth´s library in no time at all. She would find out how to get fix her condition and everything would go back to normal. The succubus made her way back into the port town. [color=Palevioletred][i]Whatever should I do now?[/i][/color] The night was still young and full of possibility. Let's see here. She'd spent amas which hadn't been hers, played with men who weren't hers and went to places she wasn't supposed to. All things considered she had worked really hard today, maybe a quiet stroll couldn't hurt. Just a calm and uneventful walk through the town. The park would be the perfect place to start. She'd walked past it a couple of times, but hadn't paid much attention to it. It was the kind of place where lovers would steal away into the shadows for a hidden kiss. Her natural habitat. Nur went down one of the trails into the park, enjoying the greenery around her. She followed the winding path, but after a while she began to be disappointed. There were barely any people out and about. Her lips pursed together in a annoyed pout. A flash of black shining armor caught in the corner of her eye. She held in her breath, and looked up at his face. Dark eyes, stalked the streets. It was Haldir. She was about ready to pull out her precious hair in annoyance. The dark elf hadn't spotted her yet, and she took to the trees, hiding in the shadows. He was edging closer to the park. Nur lowered herself to the ground, feeling annoyed rather than scared. That all changed when she saw him heading straight to her hiding spot. The succubus covered her mouth, to silence the sound of her breathing. The dark elf stood still in contemplation, it looked like he was smelling something. Nur's eyes widened when she realized what it could be, the rose perfume Darius gifted her! One day her vanity was going to get her killed. To her surprise he walked up to a rose bush, probably thinking the scent came from the blushed evening blooms. While she was on her knees she took the opportunity to thank the gods for this odd stroke of luck.
