[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

[ lmfao she got a ... 8 ] Uhhhhh...

[He chuckles before placing his hands over hers once more, playing out the first few notes again, slowly. Perform: 17.] Like this.

Maybe I should be leaving this to the professional.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that.[if the blush on his face is anything to go by, he is definitely flattered. He clears his throat, eyes darting to her and away again.] So, maybe we should just stick to scales for now.

[ maybe. but she doesn't seem all that interested in the piano anymore tbh. ] How am I supposed to repay you for these lessons of yours?

[He definitely picks up on her sudden lack of interest... in the piano at least (Wis: 19). His mouth drops open as he scratches the back of his head, blush deepening a bit further.] Oh, no you don't have to worry about that, it's my pleasure. I promise.

What if I want to? [ her eyes drop as she studies his face, before looking back up to his gaze again ]

[Gulp.]

W-well um, what did you have in mind? [His eyes are glued to her face, and as she catches his gaze again he doesn't seem to be able to look away from her (Willsave: 14)</small.]

[ her response is to reach up, take his face gently but firmly in her hands, and pulls him into a kiss. ]

[He freezes at her touch, not resisting as she pulls his lips down to meet hers. Eyes wide he stares at her, indecision written plain in them, obviously debating this.

For all of three seconds.

Then his hand is coming up to burrow through her hair, holding her firmly in place as his other hand comes to rest gently on the side of her throat. He deepens the kiss, a soft groan escaping his throat.]

[ oh. well. ExCELLENT.

her mouth breaks into a smile against his, as she slides her arms around his neck, pressing closer to him as she meets the kiss with blind enthusiasm. she hasn't thought past this part, tbh. ]

[His arms tighten in response to her enthusiasm, another, louder groan breaking past his lips before he is pulling away, chest heaving as he sucks in air.

His eyes are incredibly blue as they focus on her, mouth slightly open as he looks to her now swollen lips and up again, swallowing deeply.]

Faith- [his normally deep voice is practically rumbling now]- I... we can't do this.

[ her eyes seem greener than ever as she searches his face, lips turning down into a tiny frown ] Says who?

[yeah he sure can't seem to peel his eyes away from hers, but he answers, regret rich in his tone]

Says the fact that I have a- [cough] -a girlfriend.

Well, yeah but-- [ her forehead furrows, confusion in her gaze ] I thought you two weren't exclusive.

I mean, she sure doesn't seem to think you are.

[Confusion puckers his brow, his hand coming up to scratch the back of his head. He looks slightly disturbed and definitely uncomfortable.]

What do you mean?

She was trying to hook up with some other guy, I guess. Rose thought that meant you two weren't... exclusive.

[He reels back from her as if burned, staring at her with a hard, faraway look in his eyes. He pushes off from the bench, hands going to the back of his head as he paces away from her towards one of the high windows on the other side of the room, the bands on his wrists catching in the light.

Pissed didn't begin to describe what he was feeling. How in the hell was he supposed to keep up this front that Faye was forcing him to play out if she was out there trying to screw some other guy? And apparently she wasn't being too shy or quiet about it, either. He was being played for a fool and he couldn't do anything but what she commanded of him.

He had tried everything he could think of to get through to her, to reach any kind of compassion or shred of humanity that would cause her to give his bottle back. He had truly believed that underneath all the bravado and tortured anger, there was hope for her.

But this? To have the thing he wanted most nearly in his grasp and to still have to play along like some love-sick fool when he had no choice but to go along with it like he was blind? It was more than he could stand.

A dull ringing emanates from his bands as he grips the stone windowsill, head dropping to hang between his shoulders. The windowpane starts to shake, the glass rattling in it's casing as the sound begins to grow. A wordless growl escapes his throat as he sucks in breath after breath.

So what do you do when you have a pissed off Djinn on your hands?]

[ she reads his reaction in the worst possible way, her hands dropping to her lap where she sits half turned on the bench, eyes falling to stare down at them, as if to give him some privacy, but also to hide her own disappointment. when she speaks, she tries to keep her voice calm and even, but there's a note of resignation in there, a realization that's dashed certain hopes of hers. ] ... You really love her, huh. [ for him to get this angry at the thought of her turning elsewhere, for him to be rendered speechless by the thought, it seemed the logical conclusion. ] I'm... sorry, Jordan. I thought you-- I figured it was mutual...

[The windows cease their rattling as he whips to face her again, his face contorted in a mix of anger and grief. Staggering forward a few steps he shakes his head negatively, mouth twisting as he tries to speak.]

N- n- [he shakes his head again, hand going to his throat as he tries once more-] I'm NO- [the word is cut off again, abruptly, as his face turns red with effort. Another failed attempt has him growling in frustration, chest heaving as he sucks in air.

Then he is striding towards her, his long legs reaching her in moments as he grabs her gently by the upper arms, drawing her up off of the bench to her feet. He's shaking his head, eyes pleading with her to understand, but he doesn't try to say anything else. One hand goes to her cheek slowly, fingers brushing under her chin as he holds eye contact.]

You're not...? [ she looks up at him, standing at his urging, and studying his features with a frown ] Jordan, what's... what's wrong?

[He just shakes his head again, firmly as his eyes stay locked on hers. The look in them gentles as his eyes trace her face fondly, landing on her lips where they linger a moment longer than they should. As his eyes drag back up her face the blue in them seem to be on fire, so bright and intense they are.]

No. [It's said softly, his voice intense as he utters just that one word. Watching her carefully he slowly lowers his lips towards hers once more, giving her plenty of time to pull away if she wants to.]

[ she sure looks confused by the change, but-- she's also incredibly distracted by that, and rolled a 2 on her will save so yeah she's not even gonna protest or ask any questions, just tilt her face up to meet his, and pull him close once more as she buries her fingers back in his hair ]

[He groans at her acceptance, one hand wrapping around her back while the other wraps behind her thighs, lifting her easily (Str: 19) before setting her down on the piano keys with a mishmash of sound. Burying both hands in her hair he deepens the kiss, pressing her back against the piano, the kiss much different than those they had shared, much deeper and nearly savage in it's intensity.]

[ she gasps loudly at the unexpected shift, but her own arms tighten around him for ballast as she just tries to keep up. there's a nagging voice in the back of her head that senses that this conversation seems to have traveled a rather serpentine and illogical course to bring them to this moment, but she doesn't want to protest it yet, not if it could spell the end of ... well, what he's doing right now. the piano utters more discordant notes as she shifts to wrap her legs more tightly around him, returning the kiss recklessly. ]
