A Breath for Defeat [Damien?]

[Damien Blaze]

Damien would grin, catching her as she would try and move away.

"Who needs clothes? I like you better naked. This is one of the few times you've allowed it, after all. I think I'll keep you as unclothed as possible for as long as possible."

His smile would fade, and he would frown. Blue eyes....?

"Were the eyes or...face or anything familiar? Like...my family color? Because we did bring back some relatives of mine, as you know..."

He'd hate to have to kill family.

[Arianna Barrial]

Damien would get a small eep..! as he caught her. Arianna turned back and cleared her throat with a blush rising over her cheeks that had nothing to do with the heat of the water. She caught his hand and laced her fingers with his and gave a gentle tug, intent on going to sit at the edge with him.

She shook her head.

"No. Not your family's... But they were ancient...timeless."

She couldn't remember the face. Or what he said, if anything. But the eyes were burned to her memory. The doctor frowned and bit her lip, using her free hand to pull her hair over one shoulder to toy with the ends.

[Damien Blaze]

Damien frowned. Perhaps it was this...Ouranos that Hyperion had mentioned. Yeah, he had good ears, so what? But then, why would the man save her? If Hyperion suspected the fellow of being a goody two shoes, he likely was. Not that Hyperion was a saint but he was definitely attached to the light in people. Then again, so was he.

It was why they fought over Themis so much.

Damien pushed them from his mind. Themis was old news. For him...he had found someone much better. He drifted over to sit by her, the movement causing the heat to brush anew along his skin, the movement of the molecules increasing the warmth. He rested with her, looking at the people at the door. They were positioned now in full view of them, but they were still under water and quite a ways away so it wasnt like it mattered. Plus, the Titans backs were to them. He would eye her while asking his next question.

"Were they timeless like...like he was old? Was he big like a Titan, maybe? They would have a timeless quality...with their age, that comes with the territory."

His eyes had that same quality, after all.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna's frown eased a little with the stirring of warmth around her. She didn't look away and hardly actually paid attention to the Titans at the doorway. Getting out would maybe be a different story, but she was content for now.

Her brow furrowed in concentration, trying to remember other details. Even the sound of the voice. In the end, she shook her head.

"I can't remember. Just that I'm pretty sure I passed out and was woken. But, my brain would have been starved for oxygen at that point..." So her not remembering things made sense. "So, I couldn't really say if they were as old as their eyes looked. I'm sorry. It's just the eyes themselves, and the colour."

Her hand tightened in his, and for a few moments she looked away, feeling guilty for not being able to remember more. She sighed and finally looked back up, not miserable but not wholly content, either. But she was glad to be alive. It almost felt surreal, and that made her wary, but stubbornly disinclined to succumb to that accompanying feeling. So she reached up with her free hand to have Damien lean towards her before meeting him halfway to press her lips to his, reaffirming the reality of her being alive and safe with a slow kiss.

[Damien Blaze]

Damien frowned, trying to think of who would have the ability but all those that came to mind were either dead or way too far away to do such a thing. He wanted to try and help her get it sorted, to put her mind at ease (and to take down their name so he could break them in half) but for some reason he was coming up blank. He would have to ask around about it for more info.

His eyes slid closed when her lips pressed to his, and without thought his body reacted, hand closest to her sliding behind her back as his head tilted to the left. He felt a tightening in his chest....and a rumbling in his stomach. He realized it had been at least a day since he ate.

Still, he ignored it. Kisses were much better. He leaned in more, eagerly, informing her he was quite interested in makeouts.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna sighed with a smile as he leaned in, more. Definitely real. Her eyes cracked open at the dull rumble of hunger, but, if he was going to ignore it for now...she would, too, but made a note to drag him off later to find some food. The Titans likely had leftovers from what they had caught. She let go of Damien's hand and kissed him again in reward for leaning further in.

But, really, it wasn't bound to be good for their bodies to crane themselves into awkward positions, was it? There was a simple fix for it, but the real reasons were because she wanted to be close to him. That they wouldn't get sore necks and backs was a bonus, but an excuse. Just like having her backs to the Titans who weren't even bothering to look meant they wouldn't get a look at her body if they did.

She eased back a little to feather her lips against his in distraction before slipping from her sitting position to, instead, settle herself on his lap. She still had plenty to say—in apology for what she had said. Maybe he knew, but he wasn't able to read her mind. And she didn't want the thought interfering with enjoying what she had just initiated. Much to how she wanted to simply continue, she at least had his full attention. And he was likely surprised and in a better mood with her change of positions. There was no need to blush. She already was, but not from embarrassment this time.

"Damien. What I said earlier–about smothering one another. I didn't mean it the way it came out. I was struggling with the circumstances around my death and being revived, and I misspoke." She flipped her hands up against his jaw as she spoke, gently skimming her fingers against his skin before spreading her lips against his chin. "I thought out here I would be fine, even if it is a jungle. By chance I turned out to be wrong...and that...it stings my independent pride."

She was a strong, independent woman, but it wasn't that she didn't need him. She knew she wasn't as strong as him or David, or even her sister, physically. It didn't mean she was helpless. But, not being able to handle taking a bath, alone? It hurt.

[Damien Blaze]

His eyebrows rose as heat creeped up his neck. He wasn't embarrassed but...she had to know what would happen. He was sure that, as soon as she moved she felt what happened. He looked up at her as she spoke and kissed him. He had no intention of paying any mind whatsoever to anyone in the room. Damien didn't give a damn. He didn't care if the whole army was here.

Why should he be ashamed, after all? Plus, he was too old to give a damn. He would smile after her words.

"Hey- don't fret. It's okay. I understand...your feeling a little...hurt. But you shouldn't. Its likely you met someone really strnog out there...someone any of us would have trouble with. I would just...uh...actually nevermind. You hurt me severely and I need to be taken care of. Please, continue."

He looked down, checking her out to indicate what he meant when he said "continue".

But he did it with a kind smile, indicating that it was all in a good nature, and the first bit is what she should focus on.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna lifted a hand to give his ear a good flick for his words. But she caught the jest to his words, and smiled in appreciation of him lightening the mood and trying to make her feel better for saying any one of them would have had trouble (it wasn't true, she didn't think, but his effort was what counted). His understanding, more than either.

She hadn't snugged right up against him when she had shifted because she had intended to speak, but she wasn't ignorant to his needs or desires or what would occur. She generally just got really flustered.

The blonde gave him one of his own tsks. "I never said I was finished with you."

She drew him down to stop any response he might have with the help of a gentle kiss, slackening her legs to she could pull herself forward until her knees bumped the edge of the spring's pool.

[Damien Blaze]

He grinned as she started leaning in.

"I was counting on tha-"

He was cut off by her lips, smirking a moment before returning it. His hands moved around to her back to pull her toward him so her body was pressed against him. He could feel his inhibitions slipping, little by little....

One of the titans glanced back, blushing before turning to glance up the hall at the approaching figure. The guard cleared his throat, speaking loudly.

"Lord Hyperion! Good to see you, my King. What can we do for you today?"

Stupid small talk, but it was to warn those in the tub behind him. Hyperion stopped short and didn't need to look inside to understand what was going on.

"Tell Damien and his woman that he should come soon. Food will be tossed soon, and then I'll be kicking the crap out of his brother. Figured he'd want to know."

Hyperion would turn to leave.

[Arianna Barrial]

Arianna gave a content sigh against Damien's lips as he pulled her towards him, and automatically she relaxed. Her hands slid down to his shoulders and into the water to circle around his chest. She tipped her chin up before deepening it as she simply enjoyed being close to him.

She blinked several times at the throat being cleared before drawing away a little with a blush. It was only a kiss. The blonde would slip back, unless Damien stopped her; though if that was the case she would press her hands to his chest to encourage him to let her go, naturally embarrassed but not ashamed, but regardless she looked over her shoulder with a wide-eyed blink.

"Thank you, Hyperion?"

After, she looked back to Damien with a sheepish expression.

Food?
