Luna Online: Warriors at Heart

Arxingall left the bathroom open since it was easier to show people that it wasn't occupied than to have them knock thinking they might disturb someone, or maybe he was the only person who got anxious about potentially bothering someone in the bathroom. "Fighting a war is something I don't think I'd let you do unless I was there to back you up," Arxingall told him, following him back to the room. "But you're right, working on not needing each other all the time." That sounded like they were trying to make distance between each other. They just wanted to make sure they didn't depend on the other's company for everything every second.

"Well then we can fight a war together" Azlada reasoned, shrugging. Maybe a war wasn't the best idea ever, but still. He liked the thought of his lover always there to back him up when he needed it. He pouted slightly, crossing his arms as he walked. "The way you say it makes it sound like you're going to leave me for long periods of time" he huffed, complaining lightly. He didn't want Arxingall to up and leave him to help work on that. He would rather be dependant on him than be away all the time.

"Yeah, I know it sounds like that," he agreed, "but we just have to make sure we aren't clinging to each other for every second. Not because the public would get annoyed, but because it's probably not very healthy." Depending on someone like that that badly couldn't be very good. Besides that, they had their pride and most wouldn't do that when they acquired a lover. Distance was good for them too so they wouldn't get tired of each other or something. "How do they say it? Distance makes the heart grow fonder?" He wasn't sure distance was the first word. He couldn't recall, but it was something about time or distance.

"Mhmm. I'm fine with that, as long as I get to cling sometimes" Azlada grinned, pretty sure glued to each other time wasn't healthy at all. As nice as it would be, he knew it was better not to. And Goddess forbid, it might get boring after a while. "They also say Out of Sight, Out of Mind. Better not like that happen. Or I will not be very happy" he said, turning to give a light glare, opening the door of their room and walking in, observing the mess they had made out of the bed and grinning.

"They do say that too, I suppose, but out of sight and out of mind usually works when you want to stop thinking of them." He wouldn't want to stop thinking about Azlada, even if it distracted him in battle. He found that when they had been apart, thinking about his blonde had given him comfort and made him keep going so he could go find the boy. He liked the idea that he could find him any day, but each day that he hadn't seen him at all he'd feel lonely again. "Whatever you want to do, I'm up for." Arx didn't know if the warrior wanted to get back to work right away or not, but he was sticking by him for a while anyway.

"Usually. Forget me, and I might just have to make myself completely unforgettable. And that may or may not be a bad thing" Azlada's voice was laced with a hint of a threat, and he raised one eyebrow slightly to accentuate his point. "I'm thinking about going outside, at least to get some fresh air, then maybe getting back into the fighting a bit" he said, shrugging. This said, he pulled on his pants, and then his socks, slipping on his heavy metal plated shoes, leaving his armor off for the time being.

"Don't worry, Azlada. If Luna were to ever quit what she has us doing right now, I'm sure I'd still choose to be with you," he assured the other elf. He stared getting the rest of his clothes on, which was basically just socks and his top, along with the actual leather armor top. He could ask Az to tie it up in the back when they were to leave. "If you don't mind, I'd like to accompany you for the time being, just until you tell me to leave, I suppose."

Azlada smiled brightly at the reassurance. "Good. I'd choose you too. I think all Luna did was give us a boost, and now she's just helping us get what we know we want" he said, thinking about it for a moment. He looked down at his heavy metal armor, making a face at it. He stepped over to Arxingall, giving him a hug, just to get the last closeness before he put on his tin can. He pulled back after a moment, wordlessly pulling his armor on and doing it up, flicking the clasps expertly. "Until I tell you to leave? Soooo, you're staying with me forever" he said, raising an eyebrow. There was no way he was going to tell Arxingall to go away.

Arxingall enjoyed the brief hug before Az put on his bulky armor body again that wouldn't let him feel much. "I'll stay forever as long it makes you happy," Arxingall told the male warrior, smiling at him. He didn't want to come off as the desperate kind who would do anything to keep his boyfriend, but Az knew that. At least, he hoped so, and furthermore, hoped he didn't look like that kind of person anyway.

"Good. Then you're going to stay with me for a very, very long time" Azlada notified his lover, stealing a kiss. He brushed his wet hair back from his face, picking the tie up off the ground. He knew if he put his hair up now it would never dry, but he didn't like to leave it down. He shrugged it off, leaving it down for now. "You ready to go then?" he asked, picking up his sword and bag, putting the sword over his shoulder, careful not to hit something with it, not wanting to have to pay for damages.

"Sure," Arxingall responded, grabbing his gear and checking to make sure everything was in the places he wanted them in. He might say that this is the first time in a long time that he was well enough rested and content, very happy too. He was with Az, he had just spent a long time with Az, he couldn't be happier right now. His sister was no where in sight to cause any trouble for Az or him, directly or indirectly. He was thinking that it was going to be a good rest of the day.

Azlada nodded, smiling brightly, opening the door to the room they had rented and walking down the hall, the heavy weight of his armor familiar against his skin, but not as nice as the unfamiliar feeling of Arxingall's skin. "It looks like a nice day. We can just hang around for a bit outside before we do anything, if it's okay with you?" he tilted his head, looking to the lavender haired elf. Asking for someone elses opinion was something he was getting used to now that he had Arx in his life.

"That sounds nice," he agreed, linking arms with Az, holding on to the metal covered arm close to him to he could have him near him but the other could have at least enough room so Azlada didn't get uncomfortable or hard to move. "I'd go outside even on a bad day with you," he said, "I would say that being with you on a bad day would make it a nice day on its own." They wouldn't even need to go outside to hang out. If Az wanted, they could spend a rainy day in the bedroom.

"Who says I'd want to spend a bad day outside?" Azlada asked, turning to Arx with a smirk. The last time they had been together when it was raining out, they had rented a room, and spent the time together, only to get interupted by their sisters. He was just glad their sisters hadn't walked in on them today. That would have made him rather angry. He was sure it would be more awkward for Arx than it would be for him though. He headed down the hallway, arm linked with his lover's.

"Rainy days aren't necessarily bad days if that's what you're thinking. Sometimes I like to sit outside in them if they're not pouring and lightning and such." It was nice to sit outside in a light rain and think as the water ran down. It made him feel like he had a moment alone and to calm down. Most monsters went away while it rained, even little rain. It was nice and clear and for the most part safe. He was thinking he might like to share a moment like that with Azlada.

Azlada made a face, shaking his head. "Bleeh. I hate rain. It doesn't help with this stupid armor. I just get cold" he complained, sighing and giving a slight pout. He enjoyed the fury and power of storms, but he preferred watching from where it was warm and dry, unless he was in a bad mood. Then he would stand in the full force of it. He walked out of the building, into the warm sunlight, turning his face up to it and letting out a happy sigh.

"Y'know, last time we were here, I was injured and you were taking care of me, despite your rage towards me," Arxingall said, remembering the Shadow Fang attack from saving a stubborn Azlada. He wondered what Az had thought of the scar when they were both naked together. Maybe nothing, or maybe he remembered the same time too. It didn't matter much to Arxingall, but he was curious. He took some time to breathe in the fresh air, smiling at the fortune at still having Az by his side, and having just made love to him.

Iridescent approached the two males outside apparently taking in the oxygen. She was thinking of the sounds they'd been making previously. It was interesting to see her brother after that knowing now he wasn't a virgin anymore. She had figured he'd be a virgin until someone raped him or something, if that ever happened. She cleared her throat, Aureole trailing behind her shyly, looking at her brother with wide eyes. She knew he could scream, but that had been a new level for her. "Well well, Arx, that was quite the....time you spent in there."

"Mmm, I remember. I'm still sorry about that" Arx sighed, shaking his head. He was regretful that he ever did something like that to his lover, even if he had run off like that. He was just glad he had stuck around after their making love. Azlada caught a glance of familiar blonde hair, belonging to his sister, still following faithfully behind Arx's own sister. He gave an irritated sigh, having thought they would be somewhere else. Having wished, more correctly. He noticed the look Aure gave him and was instantly suspicious, until Iridescence opened her mouth, which he really wished never happened. His eyebrows rose, before they furrowed together. "You. . . listened, to us having sex!?" he was a tad shocked by that, not at all embarassed, but a tad irritated. He wondered how long they had actually been listening for.

Iridescent gave Azlada a dramatic roll of the eyes. "Oh please, everyone on the floor heard you having sex. We could hear it from our room, which was quite a ways down the hall, mind you." They had even tried soundproofing the door by shoving blankets at the crack of the door. It was supposed to work, not that they'd ever tried it, but it was an idea. "I'd bet the first floor above and below you could hear something too. Probably all the screaming blondie did," she snorted, though her brother had gotten fairly loud himself. Quite impressive for him really.

Azlada rolled his eyes right back. "Come on, I don't care how loud we were, if you could hear it, you would have left if it bothered you, unless you wanted to hear it, which is creepy because you guys are our sisters" he tilted his chin up, shaking some of his still drying hair back. "Hmm" he hummed in slight amusement, "You think that was loud? I'll show you loud, next time around." Az was grinning, his words more of a promise. For the next few times he made love to Arxingall, he was going to purposely be louder, on the off chance that their sisters might be around somewhere.

"Already planning next time?" Iridescent questioned, raising a delicate purple eyebrow. She looked at her older brother who wasn't protesting or anything at all. Her brother gave her the smallest of smiles that indicated he didn't care what she thought or did. She turned to her friend. "Does your brother do this often? Sleep with people loads?" Aureole just gave her a shrug. She wouldn't want to know even if he did. She didn't want her opinion to set anywhere in this conversation or argument, whatever it was or would become. An observer by nature, as well as a listener.

"Well why not?" Azlada asked, his tone defiant, as if daring her to say something. Nobody could tell him there wasn't going to be a next time, unless one of them lost their lives, but he wasn't going to think about that. His eyes narrowed furiously at what Iridescence asked his sister. "Excuse me? Are you implying I'm a whore?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous now, though well aware it wouldn't intimidate her. It just showed off how badly he controlled his emotions while he was angry.

Laughing, Iridescent told him, "If I thought that I'd tell you outright, y'know?" Well, she was, but it was more like, 'does he get out much?' She liked him irked though, so she didn't need to explain herself at all. That was for the hothead to guess on his own. She loved starting fights because no one stopped her most of the time. If it got out of hand Arxingall could be a peacemaker, since he was so attached to this silly blonde, he might step in early to avoid a clash of weapons or something. "I certainly know my brother isn't. I don't know where you've been, but at least I know my brother is clean. Or maybe not anymore considering he was with you a bit ago."

"That was pretty damn outright" Azlada pointed out, straightening up a bit, his hand tightening on his sword instinctively. He gritted his teeth, taking a deep breath so he didn't yell. "I hope you know, what you heard in there, that was me losing my virginity to your brother. So if I were you, I'd shut the fuck up until I knew what the fucking hell I was talking about" his voice was laced with venom, his words showing his barely concealed anger more than he would have liked.

"Actually," Iri began matter-of-factly, "what I heard in there was you screaming like a girl as you got dominated. Thrice. It doesn't get old for you per person, does it?" Aure wished she would stop pushing his buttons. Someone would get hurt some day in the group because of Iri's goading to make others entertain her with their rage or something she caused. "Did you ask him if he was clean, bro?" she mocked, cocking her head to the side in a pseudoinnocent smile. Arxingall gave her a sharp look, even if he did calm Az down, she was still here, so she'd just make it happen again.
