Who knew she was worth wanting.[close rp with @demonluver79 ]
Dottie had just dropped another guy. Apparently being a witch, even a good one was always the ending point and she refused to lie with the person who said they loved her. So she searched for a case. And it didn’t take long to find one, actually two, but she sent the one that looked like a witch to sam, she hates hunting her own kind, evil witches were so, gross.
So she was walking into a bar to talk to random people acting like she was a….hmmm she felt like ranger today. Yup, she’d use the silly title and find out just what this large creature was. She hoped it wasn’t something she would have to kill, it hadn’t hurt anyone yet. And she knew all to well you didn’t pick what you were, but you did choose how to be it.
She smiled at the welcome contact, “well my favorite color is this pink.” She said allowing her eyes to change color and look into his own…were they teal, ones?
“And my favorite food is pizza. I could have just eatin and will still eat pizza.” She admitted with a giggle. “Your turn.”
He tapped his chin thoughtfully. “Favourite season and animal. I personally love Winter. I love feeling the snow on my….face” He caught himself before he said fur. Though he loved the feeling of snow under his paws and on his fur. He would always dive and slow his descent just enough so the rolling crash into the fresh snow didn’t hurt him. “My favourite animal is the Tairen. The symbol of the Feyreisen.”
Dottie smiled, “winter too! I love the way cold smells, and the reminder that all must end for new to begin.” She placed her finger on her chin, “hmmm animal, that’s hard. I do love me a beautiful giant python though have always wanted one. And cats, are kinda tied for me.” He put her hand back on top of his. “Would you care to explain what that animal is, it’s who’s symbol?”
He beamed proudly, so his shei'tani liked cats huh? It made his nervousness about what he was ease just abit. “Tairen are like giant cats with wings. My father told me that just their eyes are bigger than your head. He would tell me the story of Lissallukai, the Light of the Gods and the first tairen to breathe magic into the world. The Feyreisen or the King of the Fey has a tairen rampart as his symbol since their always tairen souls.”
“No freaking way! Like a flying cat you could mount! Ya right like a cat would let you do that!” She said with another giggle. Why the hell was she so comfortable with him, oh ya, his soul and hers…were supposed to be together. That made her a bit nervous as to what he expected exactly and how fast and…she took a deep breath.
“Well I’d love to learn all about that culture, particularly as it applies to you.” She said with a smile unable to be dishonest with him.
“So your favorite song and favorite….hmm do you watch the tv?”
“They only let pride-kin ride them. Their crafty and wise creatures. Hmmmm my favourite song would have to be Day of the Dead by Hollywood Undead. It’s a great song to train too. And I occasionally watch tv. But I don’t have a favourite show. Though I do enjoy Forged in Fire.” He tried to be careful not to give too much away. And what of yourself. Favourite piece of music and show?“
She smiled at the thought of a giant feline, she could stand face to face with.
“Hmmm I think I’d have to say that my favorite song changes from week to week or month to month. But right now it is the phantom soundtrack. I circle back to it every few years. It’s…beautiful and awful all at the same time.” She explained fervently.
“And show, meh, I think it’s the one on the animal channel where he makes tree houses. I would do a lot to live in one of those.” She said with a grin, living like that IN nature would be a dream come true for her.
Beau opened his door, walking around to Dottie’s side before opening it and holding his hand out for her. “Whilst thou go for a moonlight walk shei’tani?“ He smiled softly, he could hear the sound of a river nearby and the young warrior couldn’t think of a better way to spend the evening.
His skin faintly glowed in the night, making him seem like a being of sunlight, pure and golden. His pupils though expanded like a cats to take in all the light they could.
@dottie-is-my-name
The smile that ensued may have been on of the most genuine Dottie had let cross her face in a long time, one that came form a place she didn’t know she could reach yet, but he could….and she wasn’t sure how she felt about that.
She took his hand, let him help her from the car before answering so she could ground herself. “of course i would! That is another thing that i will never say no to, me and the moon are friends my love.’
He beamed with joy at her words. “Your words fill my heart with joy.” He adjusted her hand so her fingers lay across the back of his wrist. His muscles flexed in reaction under her touch. “So shei'tani, what brought you to the bar tonight?” Each step further from the car, was a bit more that his glamour faded. His skin took on it’s full luminous glow with those cat like eyes. His clothing turned into a black leather tunic and leggings. Two thick leather straps crossed his chest and held dozens of throwing knives, some with black hilts and some with red. The full extent of his gear came into view, the two curved scimitars on his hips down to the long swords on his back. All were polished to a high sheen that reflected the moonlight beautifully like diamonds.
Dottie was quite taken aback for a second, which she wasn’t used to. “Wait, sweetie how is it I can see the fae but this!” She motioned to his armor, “was all kept from my eyes??” She asked only a tad frustrated.
“By the way you’re beautiful.” She said softly seeing his eyes, hair, nose, LIPS, really seeing them. She shook her head, “and i would suppose great spirit or whatever your perception of her is.” She said still waning an answer to her question.
He laughed, his voice a rich baritone. “You did not see, simply due to me not wishing anyone to see. We Fey were given the gift of control over the elements of the world. Including Spirit. If I do not wish for anyone to see then an illusion makes it reality.” He held out his other palm, a light lavender swirl of magic forming just above the skin before vanishing. And beylah vo shei'tani, though nothing compares to your beauty. Not even the moon herself.“ He gestured to the full moon over head.
Dottie shook her head, he was fae even if he said it a little odd, which was actually hot. And she wasn’t….there would be very angry people later. But….well she could deny him as much as she could jasper, her spirit guide.
She blushed at his words, and realized just how plain she would look standing next to him, and how perfectly imperfect she would be with him.
Through her hand she smiled and laughed with a blush, “well thank you. And damn it dude, not fair! I mean I can do some cool things but this.” She waved at him again, “that’s intense power.”
He simply smiled. “I’m not all that strong. There are others stronger than I.” He stopped when they came up to a path. “So what brought you to the bar shei'tani?” He turned to face her, standing at least 6 foot 3 inches and built with the lean power of a cat.
She sighed, “Hunting” she said knowing he would probably disagree with her choice. Killing wasn’t a fea thing not unless it was self defense.
And she knew why, she Understood the balance, buy what eves children did to the world well was almost as bad as what humans were doing to Mother Earth.
She looked up, into those eyes, waiting for a response…
He just looked at her with curiosity. “What were you hunting?or what are you hunting?” He racked his brain for what she could have possibly been hunting. He took a quick glance at the path before them and started down the left way, his skin almost acting like a firefly lantern. His eyes shown no distaste, no anger at all. He was a different type of Fey, one not originally from this world, but pulled over years ago.
His was a world straight out of a fantasy novel which broadened the options significantly. If his father could have been brought over then, what was stopping other things.
His face made her smile, the expression “through a child’s eyes” cane to mind, as he looked at her with what she could only see as genuine curiosity, like that if someone much younger than he seemed.
She shook her head clear, and took his hand back, “Well I sent a friend after a case I would rather not work, so I am looking for something I’ve been “looking for”, “ she said the words with finger quotes, “for almost a year. It feeds on the little ones, makes them seem sick, then kills them, while their parents sit there unable to help them.” She explained her issue, not realizing she had started talking with her hands.
He listened intently. “It sounds like kem'gepa maresk'nessa (his father’s friends daughter) might be able to help. She would be able to follow the dribble of their energy better than anyone being could.” He finally spoke after remaining quiet for a few moments, closing his eyes as he thought of a fellow tairen soul back in his father’s homeland.
She smiled, his slight accent was beautiful, but she had already stated he was beautiful and didn’t want to come off….too much, she always seemed to be told that….”well that would be amazing cuz the Little’s,” she sighed and looked at her hands, that always seemed to be too little to late, “I can’t heal them once they have been touched by it, all I can do is slow it..”
“How many have fallen?” He closed his eyes, hating that this thing went after children. In Eloran, his father’s homeland, children were precious. So few of them were born of the Fey so every child was a gift. “I’ll help you track this beast and kill it.” His voice went cold as the true anger he felt emerged, making his eyes glitter like hard stones.
His anger at the hurt children made him that much more attractive. “Well darling, that depends, if I’m right in assuming, this thing is old, like centuries old. And well I can’t put a number on it. But since I’ve found its trail two and a half dozen kids have been taken from thier parents.” She told him more angry with herself than the thing.
Kids, why the fuck did anything go after babies! This subject hurt Dottie more than it should with the loss she’d had so many years ago. But hey at least she wasn’t stuck with Evan as a baby daddy.
Beau didn’t need much prodding after that to go into action as he scooped her up into his arms. He started to run back to his car, his legs carrying them at a startling quick pace as his stride ate the ground below. He carefully set her in the passenger seat before entering himself and buckling up. “I can’t let this thing hurt more children. And I won’t be able to enjoy our bond until it’s dead”
Dottie had tears in her eyes, most men didn’t react this way, and well, if he was her, shit what was the word he used? Well thether in her language, he would be able to make kids with her one day, if he wanted to and he actually reacted this way to other kids getting hurt?? The fuck was she supposed to do with this info?! This soon, she couldn’t tell him why she was all stupidly emotional.
“Thank you. I have all the info on the thing at my hotel room, it’s like three blocks from here, the red roof in.” She told him trying to get a grip on her emotions, she suspected he had some effect on them though.
He nodded, starting the car and flooring the gas. Imaginary hands held her against the seat, at the same time they were gentle and unyielding. Keeping her in place as he turned the corner sharply. His pupils seemed to vanish, leaving the amber of his eyes glowing like pools of liquid sun light. Though he didn’t realize it, a soft growl was vibrating in his chest, just softer than the engine of the car.
That was the moment that she noticed he was just as much animal as he was man, and she wasn’t sure if she was more worried or intrigued by that fact. but the arms holding her were a tad scary while also being comforting, it was all quite confusing. “hey love,wanna talk? you ok?”
He blinked, his eyes returning to normal as he glanced at her. “Aiyah shei'tani. Siesk'ta, I should be able to control myself better. I don’t want to frighten you. It’s just…this thing deserves to die for praying on kaidinas. I’ll park the car at the motel then we’ll head to get help.” He slammed on the brakes when they arrived, holding his arm in front of Dottie to keep her safe. He felt a bubble of nervousness swell up though. How would his shei'tani react to his tairen. He swallowed it down, stepping out of the vehicle
She smiled, she may not exactly speak his home language, but she knew exactly what he’d just said. She nodded, and waited for him to release her. When she had become so docile to being held against her wishes she didn’t know, she assumed it was because she could feel his intentions.
“Yes it does need to die, and, well I’m glad I have your help.” She reaxhed for him, knowing that while it may seem really soon both of their anxieties would calm if they were touching.
He stilled at her touch, feeling his inner beast turn towards her and try to lunge out to claim her but he held tight on it. He managed a small smile, hoping that she wouldn’t be afraid of him. He leaned over and stopped when no more than an inch separated their lips. “Ku'shalah aiyah to nei shei'tani.” Through their touch, Beau sent a subtle burst of magic. *Bid me yes or no* His voice was a whisper in her mind, his breath warm and smelling of spice.
A groan came from her, “if course you beautiful man.” She whispered. Leaning unit his arm.
He gave a playful growl, pressing his lips against hers. His inner tairen lunged against his will, seeking to claim her. It tried to invade her thoughts, trying to get her to reveal the secrets in her soul. He tried to hold on to it, to beat it back with his will. He wanted to enjoy this moment.
Her adrenaline was all off the wall. She hadn’t known that she would be smacked in the mind andbaerr quote so fiercely when his lips met hers, and she honestly didn’t know if she wanted more, all of him, or if she was kinda scared…at that kind of connection, link between them.
But his touch was too much to pull away from so she just leaned into him. “Mmm…” came from the back of her throat more like a purr than a moan.
Beau was over-joyed at her bravery, he could only imagine was it was like to be on the recieving end of his Tairen. His eyes closed tightly almost like he was in pleasure so intense that it bordered on pain and made his inner Tairen roar in victory and dominance. The giant winged cat grabbed Dottie in its massive paws and dragged her in, roaring out its claim.
He slanted his mouth over hers, pressing her back against the seat. His throat vibrating with a deep rumbling purr like growl.
At his intensity Dottie’s body began to just meld into his, she knew she should be ‘scared’ due to the just intense power and how damn dominating he was but…well he was her tether, he couldn’t hurt her if he wanted to. when she realized he wasn’t a he any more, he was a giant feline! “Alrighty you handsome ass man/god/cat, can you speak to me like this?” she asked reaching for his nose.
He chuckled deeply in his throat, grabbing her wrist and placing a small lick to her palm. “Aiyah. Dangerous woman.” Pride filled his words as he pulled her up to stand with him. “Nei I am no God shei'tani. But cat, that is only half the story.” He pressed a quick hard kiss to her lips. “Would you like to see the other half?”
At his kiss her breath hitched, his words were starting to make sense, more and more.
A very shakey yes came out of her lips, trying to hold back the urges she could feel creeping along her skin.
He nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. “Stay here, don’t come closer until I say.“He whispered a quick prayer in his mind as he started to walk down the street, his pace speeding up until he was sprinting. He used a burst of Air to launch him into the sky, his body dissolving into rainbow hued mist, lit inside by the pure golden light of his grace. When he resolidified, a large winged cat took his place in the sky, easily the size of a small home. His fur seemed black in the night but when he neared a streetlamp, it revealed the rich chocolate brown of his fur . His large feathered wings were a lighter brown with a golden iridescence. He let out a burst of flame from his mouth before landing ten feet from her. *You may approach now* His voice sounded in her mind, still his but with a growling undertone.
“Oye, I am willing to bet you don’t go showing this side of yourself to many?” She said as a joke feeling her face blush, since when did she try to joke?
She stepped forward, reaching out her left hand, “you are beautiful, in both forms love.”
*You’re the first in this world outside of my family.* He bumped his great head against her hand like an impatient kitten, a loud rumbling purr vibrating in his chest. *Grab what you need shei'tani. I will wait out here.*
She gives his…well his face, “No ones gonna come trying to put you in a cage right?” She asked concerned, but if he was Faye she assumed she hoopfully didn’t need worry.
*If someone were to try then they would be dead.*His voice echoed in a deadpan tone in her mind, the thought itself making his venom pool in his fang. Whoever tried to make his shei'tani vulnerable by capturing him would face a tairen’s fury as both flame and venom would ensure their death. He may be civil but his tairen wasn’t and the instincts driving him now were stronger than those of a normal fey. He briefly thought of visiting the Feyreisen while they were in Eloran to get some idea of what he was headed into.
She smiled, “calm down love.” She whispered, nuzzling his giant furry cheek with her whole face, bringing a giggle to her. “I’ll be right back.”
She ran inside, grabbed her journal, and belongings, she figured after they killed the thing, Beau would either be showing her something new or she would take him to see Arizona.
He bumped his head against hers, a deep purr rumbling in his large chest. *Aiyah* He watched her leave, his ears laid back as he rested his head on his paws. He wasn’t use to being in this form in public. Preferring to only take his form in Eloran with the rest of his pack.
She took a scan of the room to be sure she hadn’t left anything, scooped up her moon stone, thankful she hadn’t left it and ran back out to Beau. She stood there staring at him for just a few moments, he was really quite beautiful, and surreal. She had always been taught teathers were of the same race as you, so was Beau a little witch or, was she a little Faye?
“Hey big guy, you wanna go grab food and talk shop?” She asked dragging her hand through his fur.
He pressed his head against her hand, a flash of green magic surrounding his chest and shoulders. When the glow subsided, a saddle with a high back and high front with grips. He gave a huff. *I know just the place, climb on shei'tani*
