Ocarinas and...subtleflowers? Tag; Raiu

[Adonia]

Adonia smiled as she showed the man the ocarina she was carrying. He seemed interested enough, remarking that the craftsmanship was amazing. "It is made with incredible craftsmanship and Its music is clear and unblemished. The style is..." She noticed he hadnt been staring at the instrument and that he wasnt paying attention.

"Sir...are you okay?" She asked-worried she had said something bad. Sure she had been eyeing Griffin a lot. She waved a hand in his face and he snapped out of it. "Sorry, so...do you wanna go out some time?" He asked. She sighed. Of coarse he wasnt the type to enjoy music!!! He was gripping a beer for gods sake and he was swaying!

But he had shown interest...she grimaced. "No thanks. Im taken." She said angrilly and stormed off leaving the man staring at her retreating form in suprise. She walked up to their cart. The many beautiful ocarinas displayed on a pretty length of silk embroidered with suns moons and stars she had done herself in her spare time. But it wasnt to bring the ocarina back but to seek comfort in Griffin. She hadnt been doing to well selling them.

She wrapped her arms around his back for a second in a warm hug before pulling back to grin at his surpised face. She could sneak up on a good many. Though she knew if Griffin wanted to he could sense her coming. He probably did, just didnt know she would randomly glomp him.

"The locals said the best customers show up in the evening.." She said. "I guess it is just now dark.....I scared off one lady buying one when I dropped one." She said with a blush. "Im not usualy so clumsy," She added as she began to help him take out the ocarinas and put them on display. Her outfit this evening a pretty black dress with white flowing sleeves and a pretty white sash tied around her waist. (((An: this is her dress- www.dornbluth.co.uk/pix/gr/hedwig-m-swec-1.jpg ))) her hair was down, falling around her face though it was braided back to show her pointed ears.

[Griffin]

Griffin did jump a bit and put on a good scared face that wasnt all acting but he had a feeling Adonia would glomp him, out here isnt such a good place. 'They might have been thinking that you would be doing something else than selling ocarinas but dont worry, its just starting.' He smiled at her and brushed a stray hair away from her face before finishing up setting the ocarinas.

A few hours into the night they had sold a good bit of the ocarinas thanks partly to Adonia's playing. He had to admit she was an amaseing player and was realy attractive in those clothes. He then smelled something on the air that smelled slightly familiar, he couldnt quite remember, his thoughts were mostly on Adonia now. [[Dried stubbleflower.]]

[Adonia]

Adonia smiled as the customer requested a song. Their were a lot of people out tonight after all! and they had sold a few ocarina's already. She got two Ocarinas and the lady looked at her quizicly and she smiled before begining to play.

(((The song she chose: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtWxPN3pxuo )))

The first ocarina was larger. The second a bit smaller and the smaller one resides in her pocket until the second part of the song. She took out the smaller after a second and the song went upbeat as she swayed a bit. But a smell reached her and she found it hard to consentrate. When the song was finished the lady clapped her hands and bought the second and first ocarina. "That song was amazing. Who tought you?" she asked.

Adonia smiled widely and turned to Griffin. "He did!" She answered. The lady smiled. "Young love. You two be careful around here. Some of the villagers are burning subtle flowers." She said. But Adonia hadnt heard her. To busy noticing how Pretty Griffin was. ((An: XD )))

She waved good bye to the retrieting figure of the customer and placed the money in a bag on the table before the smell in the air got stronger and she began to get a bit giddy. "Griffin" She greated him, snuggling up against him. "your so cute!" She practicaly purred out. A few people passing by laughed cheerily and continued on their way. Mumbling about the she elfs antics.

[Griffin]

Griffin had just finished up with a customer when Adonia started to play and aplauded when she was done. Partly because the stubleflower was messing with him, mostly because she was learning fast. When she snuggled up against him he wrapped his arm around her and gave her a light kiss on her lips, earning a few dirty glares from people which were returned with a rude gesture from Griffin. 'Your the cute one here Adonia, the rose in a basket of weeds.' He smiled at her and held onto her for a while. The amount of people were starting to thin out so Griffin packed up the items and headed to an inn with Adonia in tow. He got a room and once inside he kissed Adonia again, longer than the last.

Kana shivvered as she opened the link to discover the shape Griffin was in. She could smell the scent of stubble flowers being burned a distance away in the town. Didnt he say that Shapeshifters were effected by that? She couldnt remember how but she could guess by what she felt in the link. She closed the link fast and tried to shake the mental image that had planted itself in her head. (I think Ill check on them in the morning.)

Griffin woke up slowly at first but bolted awake when he realised Adonia was sleeping right next to him. He looked around the room and got an idea of what happened based on the garments strewn everywhere. He hoped that Adonia didnt hate him for what ever happened. He couldnt remember a thing from last night except for a smell that he reconized as burning stubble flowers. He thought about geting out of the bed and getting dressed but he thought against it, he would have to deal with it eventualy. He brushed a loose strand of hair out of Adonia's eyes and kissed her lightly on the lips. 'Rise and shine Adonia.'

[Adonia]

Onyx smelled an odd smell on the wind. His first instinct was to investigate. But after taking a peek into Adonias mind he blanched at what he saw and felt and swiftly cut the link. {KANA!! IM SCARRED FOR LIFE!} he roared to his friend as he tried to find his happy place. He had known the two were dating but...he had no clue they were....augh!!! Onyx banged his head on a tree and ran through the forest away from the town.

-----

Adonia smiled as she felt lips touch hers and she snuggled into her covers. "five more minutes.." She mumbled before her eyes snapped open and she sat up with a yelp, there was deffinately something wrong. First thing she noticed was that she was very much naked. Next that she was very much naked next to a very much naked Griffin. She let out a yelp and realized that she had sat up, without the blanket she yanked it up to cover her chest. She looked around the room at the clothing strewn about and she could still smell subtleflowers. Two and two together she realized what they did and the blush on her face darkened to an extreme degree. Safe to say she wasnt a virgen anylonger. The thought made her pout a bit. It hadnt been special either like shed thought it would be when they finaly did anything.

She couldnt remember anything but she knew they had done that..but it oddly didnt bother her, what bothered her was they had been under the influence! "Oh my gaia Griffin!" She muttered "I had no idea it was subtleflowers they were burning! And...and...im so embarrased!" she said with a slight laugh as she blushed deeper than before. "what are we gonna do! Kanna and onyx are gonna tease us constantly! and if Sen finds out...." she cut off with a gulp. Sen was super overprotective of his baby sister.

[Griffin]

To say Griffin was surprised by the suddeness of Adonia's reactione would be a complete understatement. He was glad that he didnt fall out of the bed when she yelpped and his blush was almost the same shade of Adoina's, just a shade or two lighter. She looked like a goddess to him and he had to force himself to keep his eyes from waundering. He almost wished he did get dressed, at least she would have paniced later. 'Calm down Adonia, its my fault for not noticeing the smell in the first place. Im sorry I pulled you into this. If worst comes to worst we could tell Sen that it was my fault. Atleast he wouldnt hate you.' He sighed as he got out of the bed and picked up the clothes, handing Adonia's to her before getting dressed. 'We're not thinking clearly. Lets get some breakfast before trying to think what to do.' [Griffin, that was discraseful what you did to her.] He winched as he heard Kana talk through their link. {I dont need you to tell me that! Unless you have something useful to say then be quiet!} [Pheh, men.]

[Adonia]

Adonia frowned a bit as he took the blame, and blushed when she accidently let her eyes slip down and she saw...it. She blushed and looked away fast as lightning before standing up, still holding her sheet and slipping her chemise on, finaly a bit decent she walked up to Griffin who had his pants on by now and she hugged him from behind, laying her head on his shoulder. "Im sorry I freaked out Griffin. I was just suprised." She began.

"Im not a morning person. Truth is though its just as much my fault as it is yours-I could have sensed it too. Elves are extremely affected by subtleflowers." She said as she smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek. "And besides, I hardly think waking up next to you was something to be sad about." She said with a smile. "And sen will get over it. He always does, but this sure is akward. He probably will shout for a second, threaten you and speed off as fast as possible." She said as she laughed and stretched, yawning as she searched the room for the rest of her dress. She was still blushing though it wasnt as much. "The twins like you. So I wouldnt worry about you getting any physical harm besides a lecture." She added as an afterthought.

She had to talk to a girl about this, after all it was her first time and it had been a while since she'd had a good girl talk. Besides if maybe she spoke to Yelena and Cadelen they would lesson the blow for when Onyx accidentaly blabbed to Rom or Achilles about what he no doubt saw. {I cant believe you did that to Griffin Adonia!!} came Onyx' voice. [Hey!! I couldnt help myself, and besides! Im a grown woman...] she defended herself as she pulled on her discarded dress and wrapped the sash around her waist.

[Griffin]

Griffin wasnt expecting Adonia to hug him from behind but he smiled at her words. 'Thanks Adonia, I was just as surprised as you when I woke up, I didnt yelp though. And Shapeshifters are effected just as much as elves are, and thanks, it was nice to see your angel face when I woke up. Thanks again for killing my fears there.' He smiled at her before kissing her on the cheek and finishing getting dressed. 'Lets get some breakfast though, I think we wont be getting much rest soon.' He then went to the door and opened the door for Adonia. 'After you.'

[Adonia]

Adonia laughed and walked through the door with him, they got some amused glances from the maids that had seen them rush in the night before. Adonia blushed and tried to ignore the glances as she walked beside her boyfriend-the events of the night before not making her feel akward around him at all. The silence between them was a comfortable silence. Onyx was silent though and she knew he was embarrased still.

"I think we scared poor Onyx." She idly commented as they entered the dining area of the inn-she took in the smell of bacon and eggs cooking and her stomach rumbled, causing her to blush all the way to the tops of her pointed ears.

[Griffin]

'He would have to find out about it eventualy, I wish it wasnt with us though. He will get over it though.' Griffin smiled when Adonia's stomach growled and got them a table before going to the little buffet they had going on and came back with two plates with bacon egges and a few of the local fair. He set one down infront of Adonia and sat down before starting eating. In between bites he talked to Adonia a little. 'So, Onyx is still in that brodding stage? He doesnt seem to be around Kana alot. Thats usualy not a good sign.' It was normal though, he was a bit distant to others durring that time. Oh well, with Kana it would be hell.

[Adonia]

Adonia thanked Griffin and ate happily. "Yes, he is getting a little better but I think he's not gonna be around for a week or so. He caught the smell of another griffin-a wild one and female and he was off before I could warn him they arent really like him at all." She said sadly as she worried over Onyx. She couldnt really go after him-at times like these a Gryffin needs their space.

She finished eating relatively fast and idly braided her hair as she pondered on what they would do next. Return to the keep or sell more ocarinas. "Do you want to stick around a few more days or go back? I dont think they will burn more subtleflowers..at least I hope they wont." She said with a laugh and her nose scrunched playfuly. She was truthfuly a little concerned about that-the first dose of Subtleflower causes...well-what happened last night in shapeshifters and elves. But the next can make them sick so if the villagers burn more that would be harmful for them.
