8: Eyelids

The smile resting upon crimson painted lips was faint, merely hinted and almost invisible if one didn’t observe her for a while. Amber hues rested by neat features, taking in the details she had yet to discover. She had indeed seen him before, in the hallways of the actual building where the House of Velvet had its center, once. And although the encounter had been brief and wordless, she remembered him. And so it was with certain ease that her chilled, slim digits reached for his, curling around them but only providing light pressure.

His eyes were shut now, and Ksenija was quick yet graceful with her movements as she leaned forward to let her lips ghost over soft eyelids, one kiss on each of them.  Featherlight. As she pulled away the small smile returned and she sought his gaze, a slight nod of her head as she refrained from speaking, letting his hands go as she took a small step back.

Letting a small sigh out she knew she would have to introduce herself at one point, so she decided to get over with it now. Going up to the other she taps their shoulder lightly, hayi having to go on the tips of her toes because of the height difference between the two of them ” H-Hello, I’m Hayi I thought I w-would introduce myself ” A sweet smile grows on her blank face as she bows her head ” And you are ?” she raises a eyebrow, eyeing the other in curiosity.

Her sensitive ears caught the brief sound of a sigh, pausing mid-way through the page she was currently reading for a split second, shaking her head as she soon continued, figuring she had imagined it. However, she was proven wrong when her shoulder was tapped, head turning to face whomever it could be and she was surprised to spot the shorter female."Well, hello to you too." She uttered, putting the book aside before engaging in a graceful, polite bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you Hayi, I am Ksenija." She gave the other a rather soft smile as amber orbs observed her frame, from head to toe, memorizing every little detail she could catch.

[/he shifts his weight to one side as she checks him out, content to stand there and let it happen, basking in her critical gaze rather than shying from it] Don't qualify, huh? I knew I was a little out of your league, but I didn't think you'd admit it. [/his tongue slips out to wet his lips before he continues] Don't worry. I have no problem lowering my expectations for the pretty ones like you.

['smacks her tongue for a moment before she scoffs in twisted amusement, tipping her head to the left.'] Darling, don't misinterpret me. I'm the one who's out of your league. ['flicks a few raven strands off of her shoulder.'] And sadly, I don't lower my standards for anyone.

Mild surprise was displayed upon neat features as amber eyes were raised from the book she soon put aside. She tipped her head to the side, a smile curling at pink lips as she twirled raven locks around one of her index fingers. She was surprised to see the elder in her room, crawling along her bed like this, but please to have him nonetheless. However, she was aware of more than he expected. "Something tells me you're merely doing this to tease, Zitao." Her lids were slanted as she spoke, taking her eyes off of the male with some strain. "Go play your games elsewhere, dearest for they don't work with me."

An immortal beauty. To what do I owe the honour?

['slender fingers trails her own defined jawline with featherlight touches as amber eyes rest by the other female, a smirk curling at cherry lips as her head is tilted.'] Good question dear, but the answer is quite simple. ['blinks slowly,long  lashes tickling her cheek.'] When one seeks company, tis easy to end up on unfamiliar grounds. And thus, here I am.

{his strong shoulders lifted in a shrug} I've had customers even more difficult than you. I've been in the business for a long time. Never left someone dissatisfied.

[‘she squinted a little, placing her hands upon her hips as she tilted her head to the side, eyeing the male skeptically.’] Then prepare to have your first unsatisfied customer, dear. [‘she gave another smile, twisted just like the previous one.’] 

[eternajia]

{the corners of his mouth pull into a malicious smirk and he lets his gaze form over her figure for a moment before returning his attention to her facial features} You're quite right, dearest {he drawls the last word} But I may be able to find you someone who might be of use in those situations.

[‘trails the male’s gaze for a while, a light sigh departing from her lips  as her focus beings to drift once more, adjusting the tightly fitted dress as well as the perfectly cut cardigan she wore.’] Oh? You really think you could find someone who fits my tastes? I doubt it.

[/he eyes the newest addition to their small gathering of vampires, a grin curling the corner of his lips as he draws his hand back before landing a firm slap on her ass, crossing his bare arms over his chest (nevermind that it's winter) so his biceps are in clear view] Oh yeah, ['he says, eyeing her up and down without a hint of subtlety] we're going to get /real/ close I'm sure. Welcome to the family.

[‘she barely flinches when the male’s hand makes contact with her behind, instead turning her head a little to face him properly. she quirks her brows skeptically as her amber orbs travel from his feet to the top of his head.’] No darling, you don’t qualify. [‘she shakes her head, smiling wryly.’]
