Elvara kissed him back slightly and thats what led into a larger act. It was slow and kind. Nothing was rushed and she was happy for that.

Now she was laying on a fast moving chest listening to a quick heartbeat slow down to a mellow calm thump thump. This combined with her tired state and lack of sleep made her mind drowsie. She gave a yawn and snuggled into the bare chest below her head "Hmmm...your leason was one I needed/" She said slightly before drifting off to sleep.

[Rosekitten]

Seeing as she had already closed her eyes he smiled a little before moving a few strands of hair from her face. "What you needed was rest.. silly.." Though he didn't say anything further, he wanted her to rest if this was the way she wanted to do so then so be it. Though he did manage to move a little to get a sheet to pull over them both. At least she could stay the way she was without being disturbed now. Though something in the back of his mind said this was going to be a short nap.

Either way he wasn't going to fight getting some rest in either as he closed his eyes keeping on hand on her back. Maybe this was why he was restless the other night, sure he got plenty of sleep and it was solid enough but he still felt like he was missing something. Not that they had slept together for more then a few times anyway.. but it was something he hardly minded.

[Pinkie]

Elvara awoke some time later into the day. Sighing she hid her head into the pillows under her before rubbing at her eyes and moving to sit up. This was when Elvara looked around her. Seeing that she was alone in her room she gave a little side and stood getting out of the plush bed. Going over to a different room she revealed a bathroom.

When she entered the bathroom she stripped down and began the hot bath with a smile on her face. Placing some scented oil in the bath water she waited for the steam to fill the room before she decended into the tub.

[Rosekitten]

Seeing as she had moved from where she was laying at some point or another during her nap he had decided to go get some air. Probably track down that damned dragon for a faster trip back then a boat. Though these plans fell through seeing as Vaden found him. He very well knew what that meant.. Though it wasn't like he was going to push Zek too hard the first time in testing what he still had to work with, but still.

Over all once they were to the training grounds for this area a few guards were in the area apparently sparring or something. "Great so we have a audience to see how badly this plan fails?" Vaden shook his head a little. "It could not fail too, stop being negative, I said you lost some of your powers, not all of them." He quickly reminded him, though it was hardly reassuring.

In truth Vaden had a thought behind this, he couldn't use any powers that he very well knew Zek had from some of the tests he passed as a child.. though as the demonic powers grew more the other powers seemed to die off almost.. that or they were being suppressed. Vaden was thinking along the lines of the demonic energy was making it next to impossible to control the natural abilities he had.

[Pinkie]

Elvara stayed in the bath for a long while before getting out. By the time she was dressed and ready her thoughts were on Zek and where he was. Grabbing everything she needed Elvara thought it would be a great day to try and train some. So grabbing her daggers she was out the door and down the hall heading for the courtyard.

Reaching the courtyard he breathed in the fresh air as she took a look around. There was some of the gaurds going through different fighting styles bu thats not what caught her attention. On the other side of the yard stood Zek and Vaden "What are they up to..." She thought lightly as she moved her way through the fighting masses dodging them with ease.

[Rosekitten]

It was odd for Vaden to bother with saying that he could do the abilities as a young child so why couldn't he now. In truth seeing as Zek wasn't able to manage to pull off anything as of the moment he was getting more then annoyed of being reminded that he could do these before... He never bothered to check who was even paying attention or who was around as Vadden told him to focus more.

He glared at the older elf before snapping a little and throwing one hand out towards the target. "If I focus any more I swear!" Though about that same time the target seemed to burst into flames and caused them both to shut up. Zek shrugged a little before speaking again. "There happy something happened.. finally." He muttered the end under his breath.

Vaden sighed a little. "Well .. if you call that something.. " Though catching the look Zek gave him he laughed a little at it. "though maybe we should continue this later..." He said glancing at the odd number of people that seemed to be watching this. Zek sighed a little before agreeing with him. "That or I can start practicing with moving targets." Though he wasn't being serious. They both knew it was better off if they were going to train that the less people around the safer it was..

[Pinkie]

Elvara got there just as Zek threw his little fit causing the target to ignite. She stood there dazed a little looking at the sight before her. She thought the deamon side was gone...unless he had powers other then that...but why did he not use them before? Her mind had many questions.

Even though she was deep in thought she snapped out of it the moment Zek spoke "That or I can start practicing with moving targets." Elvara couldnt help herself so pushing past the men watching she stood there and looked at Zek "Really...this moving target is a fast one" She said

[Rosekitten]

Vaden smirked a little when Zek seemed to get bitten by his own words. Though he was expecting her to have a few questions, one probably being why he had any powers left.. though that was simple if you looked back through his blood line. Vaden himself was a master of the dark arts, though his roots did lead back to fire spells, and Ryza was a wielder of fire and earth.. though she mainly used melee weapons when it came to a fight.

Zek crossed his arms a little when she seemed to step forward speaking. "I don't think i'm quite that stupid to test that." Aside from that she could bark off some order that he'd have to follow or die from. Ruth seemed to be near by when he snorted a little with things settling down again. "So maybe your not completely useless. Just mostly." The dragon snorted again before getting a reply that was expected from Zek. "No one asked you!... damned lizard.. " Though most would show respect of some kind to a dragon.. it was probably different if you had to grow up with them.

[Pinkie]

Elvara smiled at that. Oh yes he did seem useless at times but Elvara also knew not to take him so lightly. Even though the passion to fight is not there the male could still hold his own if need be. Shaking her head a little Elvara huffed and crossed her arms "Awwww come on...I swear I would go easy on you" She said walking over to him "Unless your scrad?"

Elvara was up to it again. She smiled, it was like when theyh were traveling. Her bugging him with little quips and taunts just to get a rize from the male. Right now that was her plan and she hopped it was working.

[Rosekitten]

Really after it settles in that he probably won't get carried away in fighting he might have a passion for such things. Though for now he still seemed to not want to have anything to do with fighting.. even if i was just a spar. Vaden seemed to think on this about the time Zek opened his mouth to say no way he decided to throw his five cents in. "Actually, that might be a good way to find out what you can still do."

Zek seemed a little in shock seeing as he was more then ready to leave this area and the onlookers... "I disagree with this.." He muttered a little before Vaden and Elvara both seemed to look at him. "Though it seems i have no say in the matter, so sure why not. We'll time it to see how fast I can lose."

With that being said he moved back a few steps from Elvara before one of the knights handed Zek a sword saying he'll need it against her. "no what I need is a wall .. not that it'd stop her either." he shrugged a little before waiting to see what she'd do seeing as he was forced into this little 'test'. He saw this going more then badly. Though there were two sides to this, he could flat out lose, or he could pull out the impossible and beat her. Though being this was her home he didn't think that was smart either.

[Pinkie]

Elvara smiled as Vaden spoke up and when Zek finally agreed she clapped her hands together with a smile "Great!" She said in a happy tone before moving back from him as well. Here is where she stood strtching differnt parts and muscles that seemed a little tense. Looking to Zek she smiled as one of the gaurds gave him a sword.

So a sword fight eh...she could do that. Removing the two medium sized blades from the holsters on her back she twirled one in her hand before taking a battle stance that could be taken as defensive or offensive. "Well....Ready or not" She said as some of the on lookers took a step back.

Elvara was knowen to her people to be a jokester in spars. Well she never really found anyone to date that could match or even get close to her knife skills so these training sessons were just fun to her. With that thought lost in her mind she was gone. Running towards Zek with a smile on her face the moment steel hit steel. The battle was on.

[Rosekitten]

"Like I have a choice?!" He said to her ready or not. Though he oddly seemed more relaxed then he let on to be by his talking. Truth of it was he was thinking on something, he didn't have to hold back as much now. Without the demonic powers he had no real risk of losing control of his powers. Well there was a drow rage but that wouldn't happen due to a spar that was for sure. Either way he already knew she was going to win. Even if he stood a good chance he wasn't going to win, not here.

As she charged forward her blades drawn he stayed right where he was and waited for her to be close enough before bringing the blade up to block her strike. This was a bit unexpected to her probably, seeing as most of the time that she tried to spar him he tried to avoid clashing the weapons at all, let alone getting this close to her.

This little show of blocks and doges went on for a few strikes before he found the opening he wanted and went for it, though he more or less made the strike slower then what was needed so she could block it but the speed change be undetected. Vaden caught this though.. then again he had been around enough years to know what skills Zek had and when he was holding back. He wouldn't say a word though, he knew why he was holding back. It was a matter of pride here, beating her in a spar on her own soil would probably be the worse outcome.

In truth this little spar seemed to go back and forth for a long while, not once did she manage to get close enough for her to land a blow, then again on the flip side he couldn't either. If he was trying a bit harder to hit her he was sure she would have landed a few of the openings, but he wasn't going to be that bold out of the chance he might land a strike. At the least it was about time the guards here got to see a fight where their princess was trying, none of them could put forth a great enough challenge to last this long.

Though Zek also knew he was going to end this soon enough, a simple slip up would work. Something she wouldn't think twice about if it happened. The longer this went on the more into the fight she seemed to get and he was noticing that her strikes were getting harder, granted a few times she left herself open as well for a brief second. It was better to end it soon before she got too carried away.

[Pinkie]

Elvara was enjoying herself. For once in her life a true spar! She was enjoying the back and forth slashes that both made. Though the more that the spar went on the more Elvara began to take it to an other level. Seeing as how Zek seemed to be giving what she assumed to be his all she made her striked harder.

Each strike was planned and devoted yet dodged or thwarted by the male before her. Growling a little as her ears went back Elvara swung out again this time noticing that Zek gave a little slip of the foot loosing his balance for a breife moment. That was all she needed.

A turn and a kick to the chest later Zek had his back colide with the ground but Elvara didnt give him a moment to recover. Right away she was ontop of him her knees holding his arms to her sides as her double blades stuck into the ground on either side of Zeks neck.

As she leaned down she crossed the blades before the hilts on each stopped her movement. She was no where near cutting skin but if he moved she couldnt be responsible for what happened. With a smile she tilted her head "I never knew you could fight...." She said between pants of much needed breath.

[Rosekitten]

That all went almost too well, or at least he thought it did. She was getting too into the fight and it was easy to tell she was becoming annoyed the longer it went on and he managed to avoid her strikes. Though a few were close calls to be honest. But he knew when to call it quits that was for sure, they were both out of breath and this needed to end as soon as possible.

Providing the perfect opening as he seemed to lose his footing he was rewarded by a kick to his chest from her causing him to be unable to recover from the slip up. He wasn't given a moment to recover his lost ground as she seemed to pin his arms and quickly brought both blades down to keep him where he was.

Needless to say the little gathering they had before had grown a little in size, though that was to be expected seeing as the match lasted longer then a few mere seconds like most of them for their princess. Though when she seemed to speak he had to laugh a little weakly, to be honest he didn't think that would go that well. Seeing as he couldn't move without major damage being done to himself he sort of flicked the sword away from his hand.

Tough she still kept him pinned there, from the looks of it she needed to regain her breath. Then again they both did from the looks of it. "Heh... I have my moments." He was trying to pass that as a fluke, though he doubted she was going to buy that by the long shot.

[Pinkie]

Elvara after a few moments cought her breath but she did not leave from her placement over the male. This is where she gave a smile and leaned down just a little to get closer to the males face before she spoke once more "I think your lying to me my dear" She said with a little tilt of her head "Though what fun is it if you constintly tell the truth?" With that she didnt care who was around before she placed a quick kiss on Zeks lips before moving to stand.

Removing her blades from the ground she placed them in the holsters on her back before she stood helping the male below her to his feet as well with a little smile on her lips "That I must say was an interesting fight" She said with a smile on her lips "Good job...get better and you have a little bit of hope to beat me one day" She said in a teasing tone poking Zek in the stomach.

[Rosekitten]

Ok so he knew that wouldn't work, though as it stands she didn't think anything of the fight so what he set out to do after he made up his mind to give this a half asses shot seemed to work out anyway. "Heh.. so I was holding back a little before... still a loss is a loss on the field." Though he quickly stopped trying to make a cover for himself as she kissed him before bothering to stand.

He was lucky that round was just blades, he wasn't sure he could have held back enough to lose like that with magic, at the same time he could have just fallen on his face if it was needed as well. Though it was a little un-nerving when she said get better, like she wanted him to beat her. Hell he half thought if that came about she'd kill him.

"Riight... should I order the tombstone now or later for the miracle that such a thing should happen?" Though about that moment he noticed Vaden was still there, he knew damn well the old man caught what just happened. Though it was also about that time he noticed the rather large gathering they had by now. He probably would have messed up ages ago if he noticed this before.

"Ether way, don't you have duties you need to get about to?" He noticed the scowl she game him, not that it bothered him in the least as he smiled at her. "You you know I'm right, your the one always saying duties first. I'm the slacker remember?" He had a point, though the longer he thought about that said point something else dawned on him. She lived here... he'd be going back home and then things were over weren't they?
