[Pinkie]

Elvara led him up the stairs and to the bathroom before she turned the hot water on and plugged the tub like she had earlier that night. The only differance was the hiss of pain she gave as she bent over to place the plug in. After she stood she walked past Zek "I will grab those then..." She said before entering her room. As she grabbed her back she hissed. She could not take this shirt any longer.

Removing it she took a simple piece of cloth and wrapped it around her chest to tie up around her neck. The fact that there was nothing rubbing her side made her breath deeply once more. Elvara then sat down on the edge of her bed as she removed her shoes and pants. Placing a pair of shorts on slowly she stood.

Grabbing the herbs from her bag that she needed Elvara turned and headed for the door again. As soon as she stepped out into the hall way she looked to her side and cringed at the darkness of the skin there. She knew she had a cracked rib and a busted lip. Walking up to the door of the bathroom she gave a light knock before she opened the door to the steam filled room.

Seeing that Zek had already gotten into the water she smiled a little at his semi relaxed state. Walking she paused a moment to look in the mirrior. Her lip was busted and her cheek was swelled. The bruise on her side stretched around her chest and crawled on to her back. Great...jsut what she needed. It was a quick look thats all she needed. Walking over to the tub she sat on the edge slowly before dropping three orange leaves into the water.

"Im sorry..." Elvara said "I will be out of your way in a minute" She said softly "They just need to placed in at different times and in order' Was all she said as she adverted her eyes to look at the floor.

He'd figure something out to prevent her from being too upset at him later. So long as he didn't fall into his sleep state while in the tub he'd probably get enough energy to function with at the least. Not that he was modest really, but he thought about this after he was already in the water. He could have left underclothes on or something at the least.

He shook his head a little when she said she'd be out of his way in a moment. "Your not in the way.. " He breathed out knowing he could have gotten potions or something maybe a energy crystal would do the trick. He could have prevented this, at least for a good while anyway. It would have still gotten to this point at some time or another but maybe he could have waited till after she was back home or something.

After a few moments he moved a little before doing something he normally didn't do. To be truthful she was the last person she wanted to push too far but he had already moved before he could think twice about it. Pulling on her gentle as he pulled her into the tub and held her against him. He didn't mean to really, just something came over him and he wasn't sure what. Holding her there lightly he resting his head against hers gentle before speaking under his breath. "I'm sorry.. " he meant it for a number of things, for not noticing that she had wanted it and thats why she offered to causing her trouble in the first place. Hell maybe he was saying sorry they even crossed paths to begin with.

[Pinkie]

Elvara sighed a little as she felt the hands pull her back into the tub though she didnt protest. Laying her head down on the males chest she shifted a little so her side didnt ache as bad "I...am sorry as well" She said to him in a soft tone as she brought her arms to rest stop of his. Elvara didnt know why she was sorry or what she was even sorry for but it seemed the right thing to say at the time.

Elvaras mind was all over the place and she had no idea what she was going to do so to say that her own actions shocked her was an understatement. Elvara turned her head up so her lips lightly brushed under Zeks chin almost connecting with the males neck in a chaste little kiss. It was to go with the apology.

[Rosekitten]

Really he was expecting her to yell at him or do something anything. Even pull a blade from no where and stab him but she didn't Instead she seemed to stay there, only moving so it was easier on her side. What did she have to be sorry for though? He was the one that had caused her all of this trouble the only help he had been was with her getting information from Vaden.

Her next action caught him off guard though as she seemed to move slightly and placed her lips lightly and briefly against his skin. He wanted to ask her what she was doing but he didn't. No instead he moved just slightly and kissed her lips. Though this was quickly regretted as he pulled back in almost the same motion. Now she was going to hurt him for sure.

[Pinkie]

When Zek leaned forward and moved to kiss her lips it shocked Elvara some but she didnt protest...she did though when he pulled away from her however. She gave an almost whining sound as he did before she reached forward falling the retreat of his head with a kiss of her own. Though Elvara's kiss was filled more with a hidden emotion then Zeks was. The only reason she pulled back was to move and stop the strain on her side.

Though as soon as that was over her lips conected with his again in a soft touch before she pulled away and moved back a little. Maybe she was taking it to far? Zek seemed to be reluctant on taking her offer so why should she force it on him? "Sorry..." She said "I...I will leave you be now" She said and moved as if to get out of the tub.

[Rosekitten]

He wasn't expecting her to kiss him back really. Maybe try to take his face off for pulling such a stunt. He blamed his lack of energy as to why he felt almost drawn to do such actions. He could control himself but he didn't want to at the same time. He needed to watch it maybe she didn't want it to end up going that far and he was just going to end up upsetting her again.

When she seemed to speak and started to move he shook his head a little before pulling on her gently so she stayed resting against him. "You don't have to be sorry.. you haven't done anything to be sorry for.." He spoke softly as he held her there, even though he wanted to do nothing more then just fall over from being out of it he was still content with just this. He never got to hold her, not after they left the northern region and she didn't need to stay warm.

[Pinkie]

Elvara smiled a little at that and cuddled back into the males chest. She stayed there until the water turned cold and she gave a little shiver. "Well..." She said moving away "Lets get out of this cold water" She said softly before standing carefully mindfull of her side. She then stepped from the tub and grabbed a towel that lay on the side. She passed to Zek before grabbing herself one.

Standing with her back to him she removed her now wet clothes and wrapped the towel around her carefully before turning to him and giving a soft smile her head tilted "The...spare room" She began "It um...has a bed big enough for two" She started..."It...would be better then that couch" She said before turning and leaving the bathroom and the choice to him.

She entered the room and sat down upon the med moving to lean on thick pillows she sighed and gave a little shiver as the cool air hit still wet skin. Her side hurt and she had a killer headache yet Elvara still hoped that Zek took her offer.

[Rosekitten]

He wasn't even sure what had gotten into him. She would destroy him in the morning after she sobered enough to remember all of this. Though he guessed it was a little late now to be worrying about such a thing. To say he wasn't watching her was hardly the truth. Even with being distracted by his random thoughts he still ended up glancing at her when she was working on wrapping the towel around herself.

When she seemed to try and speak up he was brought out of his daze a little as he listened to her. Even after she left the room he was still trying to put his mind around what she was saying. To admit it she scared him a little. He tried to stay clear of most female drows and with good reason, he knew very well what the pecking order was in their society. Unless something happened to the matriarch then she would remain the leader until she felt that she could pass it to one of her daughters.

Why was he even thinking of that, Elvara was different to say the least. Why was he questioning such a offer at all, aside from the fact that she wasn't completely sober and he'd probably pay for accepting her offer in the morning. Nevertheless he still absentmindedly followed her to the spare room. She was right that a bed was better then the sofa but that hardly meant he wasn't second guessing hiss own actions. He needed her though.. the one kiss she did felt different, like she had wanted it. That's what he needed from her.

The only other thought he had was that he should have grabbed clothes, not that he personally cared but she might. But that thought was pushed aside as he moved to lay on the bed next to her. Moving one arm to lay across her he lightly placed his hand over the bruise on her side where the injury was. "Bare with me a moment.. " he said softly before a light warming sensation could be felt from where his hand was. Sure he should reserve his energy even if that little event in the bath helped more then she'd ever know.

After a few moment he moved his hand from the spot and away from her. Seeing as she was naked from before, not that eh thought out the whole pulling her into the water but still, he didn't want to push his luck too far. "There, at least maybe you can get some sleep now.." It wouldn't be fully healed but it probably helped a great deal, or at least he hoped it did. He hardly used this ability to it wasn't like it was his strong point, let alone it was all he could really do for her.

[Pinkie]

Elvara sat there on the bed and watched the door. She smiled to herself as Zek walked in and over to the bed crawling in with a sigh and laying flat. Elvara was propped up upon pillows in a semi sitting / laying way so not to hurt her back. Though she was a little shocked when Zek reached his arm over her to lightly rest it down. Though Elvara did give a hiss as those fingers rested on her bruise. She knew exactly what he was doing the moment he spoke.

Elvara wanted to push away and fight but she knew that if she did her chances to have him would be over. So that is why she sat there and let him do what he did. She had to admit when he was done her side did feel better though not fully. That was fine with her she would rather put up with a dull ache over the full pain any day.

Seeing as Zek was done Elvara smiled and moved down the bed some to lay her head down on his chest. Elvara then placed her left arm up and rested it on Zeks chest "Thank you..." She said softly. She did feel better and it was something to be thankfull for. Now if only Zek would let her help.

With that thought she smiled before rubbing her head a little into the males chest before turning her head up and kissing the underside of his chin this time traveling light nips and licks down the skin she felt there in attempts to get his attention.

[Rosekitten]

When she moved to rest against him a few moments after he was done with helping her the best he could manage he seemed to flinch a little. He was probably expecting her to snap out of her current state of being nice or at least semi nice at any given moment. Truth of it was he hated this, not knowing how she'd react from one moment to the next. Even on a good day he never knew what to expect from her.

When she spoke and seemed to settle where she was he seemed to relax a little. He could live with this, till morning when she noticed what she was doing and he ended up getting hurt over it. Though for the moment he'd take this little moment. Maybe if he rested here long enough he could regain a little energy and worry about what to do tomorrow.

Though about the moment he was going to relax she seemed to move a little letting her lips move along his skin lightly. He moved a little to try and watch her, sure he knew what she was trying to do .. to be honest it was working. But he still wasn't sure it's really what she wanted to do, plus she still was hurt and he knew that so he didn't want her forcing herself. "Elvara.. " His ears dropped slightly seeing as even when he moved a little it didn't seem to deter her from her plans. Telling her she didn't have to he felt like would just lead to her being mad at him again, really even just this was helping. It was something she wanted and her body wanted.. thats all he really needed from her.

[Pinkie]

Elvara looked up to Zek when he said her name. Though it was said in a way that Elvara wanted to change. She knew what she was doing right from the start and she wanted it. It was not a trick or a lie but something that had been on her mind since the north. So Elvara thought she would catch Zek off gaurd. He kept pushing her away but Elvara would no longer have it.

Sitting up a little so she peered down him Elvara gave a light smile, playfull want hiding in half lidded eyes "....Please...." She said softly knowing that the one little world held more power then most thought possible. It was her last chance, if Zek was to deny her now it would mean the last chance for anything to happen and Elvaras heart wept at the thought.

[Rosekitten]

He wanted to deny her in truth, he still feared maybe she was just trying to be helpful or repay him for the times he had been there for her. But at the same time when she spoke and the way she was looking at him maybe he was wrong to say no to her. He couldn't even bring himself to say no to her, she seemed to want it even through all of the times he had tried to push her away to try and protect her so she could find someone she deemed worthy of such actions with.

He moved a little to sit up and placed a hand gently under her chin before whispering near her ear. "Don't say that.. begging doesn't suite you.." It was the truth, she was a drow female, a future ruler of her people she didn't have to plead to get what she wanted. Any other guy would have jumped at the thought of her asking for anything. He kissed the bottom of her ear lightly before removing his hand from her chin.

What was it about her, she was everything he had grown to hate over the years yet he was drawn to her for some reason. Even back at the castle he knew he was drawn to her but he was trying to ignore it. He had no right to say he had feelings for someone. Or thats what he thought, he was just a half blood even if he made it to be king in place of his mother he'd have to fight it tooth and nail. But yet here she was.. just her simple motions from before would have driven him insane given enough time.

[Pinkie]

Elvara shivered a little as the warmth of Zeks breath ghosted over her ear. Elvara closed her eyes at his statement. It was true a female of her status should never have to say that word but thats why she did it. As the warm fingers of Zeks hand fell from her chin Elvara decided it was time to move in. As the fingers retreated she turned her head into the kiss ment for her ear capturing the others before her in a stolen moment of passion.

Elvara was stubberon and Zek knew that...so why did he keep fighting her off? She could tell from his voice when he spoke that he wanted just what she did. But the fact that he kept pushing her away made Elvara want to be angery and hostile but at the same time the want made her forget about that thought. Reaching a hand up to brush the hair at the nape of Zeks neck Elvara ignored the towel as it moved exposing a hip.

[Rosekitten]

He wasn't expecting her to move suddenly. Not that he complained when their lips met one another. Even if he had wanted to fight her off he couldn't at the present time. Her body said she wanted this lusted for any of this... even if he had control over himself he'd still be drawn to give her what she wanted. But at the moment he saw no point in fighting it, they both wanted it and he had turned her away so many times before.

He broke the kiss for a second before kissing her again as he moved a hand to her back to rest it there. He wanted to do nothing more then to finish pulling the towel off of her body in truth. But he didn't want to at the same time, taking this slow was a better idea for the both of them. Besides .. she started this little game he'd give her what she wanted in due time.

[Pinkie]

Elvara kissed Zek back with as much passion as she got. This was all that she had thought about since the north. Moving she laid down on the bed forcing Zek to lay over her. The not in her towel letting go was unoticed as the two connected bodies kept the clothe together by sheer will. Elvara broke the kiss and looked up to Zek with half lidded green eyes.

Elvara then looked at the male above her and actually looked. She saw the light dusting of passion stained over the males skin. His lips sweld with the actions a few moments before. Reaching a hand up Elvara ran it down the side of Zeks face before stroking her thumb over his bottom lip. From here she would leave it to him to continue or not.

[Rosekitten]

She still wanted him to go on, it was easy enough to tell. He moved a little to lean closer to her before kissing her lips lightly and moving to her neck. She'd get what she really wanted in due time but for now he was going to enjoy just having her like this. Not that she seemed to mind any of the attention.

He was only taking his time in the case that she wanted to stop this from going further. Though that never did happen, even after everything happened he still was half in shock he had let it go through. Even just laying there next to her and holding her he was still trying to figure out what even happened.

No it wasn't the first time he had let himself get carried away but why did it feel different. She finally got her wish of allowing her to help him but that shouldn't have mattered. He needed to stop thinking about this. She was going to kill him when she sobered up fully... he almost feared the thought knowing that Vaden had given her one of the blessed blades during one of their first meetings when he had shooed the two of them off to do this little adventure together.
