Suite Life (Open)

[fromtheshadows]

Aiden smiled wide then moved away from him. "I won't," he promised softly happy then sat on a chair. "I've never seen someone practice his form?" he asked, not knowing the right words. "What is your form?" He bit his lip curious but now confused, he checked his watch to see how much time he had till he had to check the food, then looked back to Marcus.

[Sephirah]

"I suppose you could call me a fencer," Marcus chuckled, sliding open the glass door to the balcony. While probably not big enough to have a duel on, it was wide enough to warm up and practice maneuvers. "The rapier I own is mainly a thrusting weapon. The edge on it isn't sharpened well enough for cutting until you get about halfway up," he motioned to a portion of the blade. "Even so, it's practically harmless," he admitted. "The only real damage comes from the tip," he pointed to the very tip top of the blade. "Hence the need for a thrust to hurt someone."

As he finished his explanation, the agile young man took a swift step forward and pushed the rapier forward as if he were stabbing someone. His free hand he held up behind him, palm turned up toward the sky. In this way he showed Aiden the basics of how he used his blade and what for. It really wasn't a weapon he liked to use for regular combat, it was just the sense of security that he enjoyed. Even slapping someone with the dull sides of the blade was a great way to spook them into taking off. It was only when he was in real danger that he would dare use it to stab a person.

"Practicing with it is also a good way to stay in shape," he joked.

Aiden listened thoughtfully, that sounded cool. "D..do you think you could teach me?" he asked shyly and watched him. "Only if you want to of cource. I could just watch, if that is your wish." He watched him closely as he showed him how to use the blade, wishing he was that good with something other than his body. He heard his last comment and smiled, "Yeah, that too," he murmured then smiled weakly.

[Sephirah]

(Fwoosh!)

"Hmm," Marcus placed a hand under his chin as he pondered this idea. He wasn't much of a teacher, unfortunately, but it could come in handy for keeping Aiden safe. He didn't exactly look adept at self-defense. "I suppose I could teach you. If you really want to learn. I would rather do so with a foil and some protective gear, though. Once I get settled maybe we can go out and buy the supplies."

[fromtheshadows]

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you," Aiden said excited and hugged him tightly. He was really happy he agreed, he had expected a no, he was glad he was going to be taught, and hoped one day to be good like him. After a bit he pulled away slowly, noticing how close they now were. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that," he whispered. He was now suddenly shy, and he didn't understand why. He was normally cocky and confident, this shyness surprised him.
(Oh I missed you!!! I thought you never were coming back to me)

[Sephirah]

Marcus' cat-like ears perked at the sudden hug, his eyes widening. It had come so unexpectedly that he allowed the breath to be squeezed out of him for that split second. Being so unaccustomed to others touching him, considering he used to never allow it, he had stiffened awkwardly with the hug. Of course, it wasn't because of any dislike toward Aiden, it was just his own conditioned nature. In his moment of confusion, he couldn't push Aiden away. It would almost seem cruel to push the smaller warm body away from his own at this point.

Marcus cleared his throat a little as Aiden finally pulled away, "If you're that excited we can try to find you a fencing outfit tomorrow." Marcus nodded, fixing one of his sleeves. Despite the long day, the blonde still carried a light perfumed smell that most high class men his age would have. "Is that dinner?" He then inquired as his ear twitched with the sounding of a nearby bell.

(Forgive my inconsistency as of late, school work is going up and down. Hopin to fit in a lot of lost RPing this week >w<)

[fromtheshadows]

Aiden heard it as well and rushed in quickly. He was happy to be getting a fencing outfit, and happy to be with Marcus. He took out the food with a smile and set it on the counter to cool. He soon turned to find plates, cups and silverware. He grinned once he found the stuff and set it on the table. He quickly served the food then went back outside to Marcus. "Its served, what would like to drink?" he asked curious wanting to pour it.

[Sephirah]

Marcus couldn't help but smile at Aiden's eagerness to serve. There was a lot of young energy pent up there that was surely going to rub off on him. With a nod, he sheathed his rapier and walked inside with Aiden. He placed the blade back on its stand to rest for the night and walked toward the table while sliding a hand through his light blonde hair. His tail flicked gently to one side.

"Hm, I believe there is some white wine in that cabinet over the," he motioned with one hand. "Feel free to help yourself to some of it if you like."

[fromtheshadows]

Aiden smiled at his response and quickly went to get the wine. After he poured two cups he set the bottle in the middle and sat in his chair. He didn't eat yet, an age old habit, he waited for Marcus to eat first, and to hear whether or not he liked it. He was used to having to wait and if it was not good enough he was not allowed to eat. It did not cross his mind that Marcus was not going to do that to him, so he just waited. He hoped the other liked it, and was not allergic to any of the ingredients that he had put in the food.

[Sephirah]

Marcus settled into his chair and looked at his dinner with a pleased expression. He had actually been worried about cooking and housekeeping when he arrived earlier that day. His cooking skills were mediocre at best, mainly because he didn't ever really have to cook for himself. Luckily, he had bumped into Aiden. He could picture the stove catching on fire or his meal tasting horrible if he had done it himself.

Picking up his knife and fork, Marcus paused just before cutting to look over at Aiden. He wasn't eating yet? A few thoughts came to mind, but one voiced itself before the others could object, "You didn't...poison it, did you?"

[fromtheshadows]

Aiden looked shocked and saddened at the same time, when Marcus asked the question. "N..no," he whispered, "I wouldn't. Do you really think I would? Your the only one who has ever shown kindness to me." He looked down to his food, hands now in his lap. "I'm waiting for you to tell me if I can eat or not. Its custom for a master to make the mistress wait," he blushed and looked down again. "Sorry. Your not my master a guess, b..but its habit," he murmured. "Sorry if it bothers you..."

[Sephirah]

Nya~ Forgive me, but I haven't been seeing much around here to keep me going, so I gotta pull out. Hopefully Aiden can forgive me /cry. If we meet again, may it be a smexy encounter.

Take care!
