The Park, The Words, The Feeling (Taith)

by **Kail D'Rea** on June 10th, 2010, 4:32 am

18th day of Summer 510 AV
Kail woke up happy on the 18th of Summer. It had been a full moon since she had first meet Taith on the beach and since then they had continuously spent more and more time together. Kail was starting to wonder what she would do without him. Fortunately, she wouldn’t have to find out today. Kail had suggested that, if he were able, they both take this day off from work or study including their formal language training, and spend the entire day together, to commemorate the occasion. Kail didn’t really need to notice the day this much, but she did want an excuse to enjoy the season and the time together. It had worked out, so she planned a picnic and got a few ideas together about where to go and could barely wait the short time for the day to arrive.
Kail got up and went outside to get water to wash in and something from the garden to eat for breakfast. She ended up with a tomato and a bucket of water. She started to get ready for the day as she munched on the hand-sized fruit. As she had been lately, she took a little extra time getting ready, noticing details like making sure her hands were neat and clean of ink spots and her clothes and hair were just right.
Today she was wearing a new outfit she’d just bought at the Waterfall fabrics shop. It included a white cotton skirt with a narrow lace trim around the bottom. It fit tightly over her hips before fairing out into a full skirt around her knees. She matched it with a pale violet shirt that just matched the color of her eyes and really made them stand out in her fair face. It was also tight fitting through the bodice, fairly low cut around the neck, and with sleeves that had extra fabric and several slits that made them lay over her narrow shoulders like sleeping butterfly wings. She knew the outfit, when coupled with her narrow white sandals with slight heals, made her look fantastic. It not only showed off her legs, but also her narrow waist and slender neck. Kail loved finding the perfect outfit and had decided a few days ago that she was going to spend the money to get something new for the day. It really made her feel good. She also made sure her hair was perfectly smooth and curled around her face, framing it nicely.
Once she was ready, she prepared the simple sandwiches she’d planned for lunch. She made 4, hoping 3 would be enough for Taith. She placed them in a basket with a melon from her garden, her water skin filled with a light fruit wine and the sweet cakes she’d taken the time to make the night before. Not a feast, but about what a working girl with little inclination for cooking and the unending urge to spend all of her free time with a man could come up with. She hurried at the end expecting Taith to come to pick her up at any time.
Since it appeared she was ready early, she set the lunch on the table and sat down in her chair. Kail wasn’t surprised she was ready early, even though it wasn’t her usual way. She really was excited about spending the whole day focusing on nothing but Taith. It seemed like there was always something else going on and she was secretly hoping that if they had a good day and she ended up relaxing enough, she could tell Taith that she loved him. She almost felt like he already knew, but she’d never said it and she did want to tell him, whether or not he said it back. She had thought through as many implications as she could think of and decided that there was no point it trying to guess what would happen after it was said. She didn’t even know if she would say it. Everything would have to be perfect. But she might. She was sure of the emotion, if not the response.

Taithrosa had suspisions that this was a very important day for Kail. So he had risen early and descended to beach were none could watch as he bathed. He regualarlly found himself in the water and was cleaned but he usually didn't make a specific effort to be cleaned. He did so taday.

He stepped out of the water as the sun, Syna, rose over the edge of the world and reclaimed dominion of the world. His pail skin with its inner glow began to darken, as the light faded and as the skinned changed to a cobalt blue. The horns along his head seemed to twinkle out of excistances. There was not odd shrinkage back into his head, they just seemed to appear and vanish as the celestial bodies echanges dominion. His face changed of so subtle loosing the exotic beauty and returning to the handsome face of the Akalak Taithrosa.

He stood looked in the direction of Syna with out directly looking at her allowing her early morning rays to dry the water droplets off of his stronge body. He could feel the warmth spread across his skin as the water began to slowlly disapper.

Once he was dry he turned his attention to the cloths that were neatly folded after having been washed. The white shirt was soft and clean, the brown pants also clean and the travel stains removed. He had even scrubed his boots so that now they seemed to gleam.

He quickly dressed so as to avoid offending any passing Konti's. In that regard he still wasn't sure what there attitudes were towards nudity, but he didn't really want to find out.

As he dressed he thought to the woman who had had grown to love. Taithrosa knew they they had moved quickly, but he felt that it was destiny. He was sure that they had been lovers in at least one past life, and here they were again. He had litterally been dragged out of the heavens. He wondered if she might have been part of the reason that fate had returned him to Mizahar.

That was a comforting thought.

He just hoped that she felt the same about him. He knew that she liked him and suspected that she was at least growing to love him, but he couldn't be sure and didn't know how much time she needed before she was ready. He thought would wait paticently. He was sure that theirs was a destiny and a love that could and did spread across the years and lives.

His silver eyes turned back to the city of Mura in the distances and he began the short walk to the edge of the city and Kail's small little cottage. His long strides helping him cover significant ground quickly. He slowed down so that he would arrive as close to on time as possible.

As he arrived he paused and breathed in deep, and then walked forward and knocked on the front door. Hopefull and excited for the coming day.

Kail jumped slightly at the knock on the door, then smiled at her own nervousness. She picked up the basket and crossed the room to open the door. She smiled even broader when she saw the giant man standing outside the door, his head extending well above the frame of her door. Taithrosa looked happy today, not to mention more neat and clean than usual. Maybe he was excited to mark this little milestone in their relationship.

Kail spent a brief moment just taking him in, the feelings that came up reaffirming her affection and attachment to this unusual man. He had such an endearing smile and the warmth in his eyes right now was not just comforting, but inviting as well.

He was so confident in many ways, yet occasionally Kail sensed an unsurity in him that she wasn’t quite sure what to make of. She seemed to see that question in his eyes now too. She tried not to use her skill with intention on Taith because she wanted things to happen naturally, but she did sometimes give into temptation and feel him out a little bit. She always sensed the same long-term intentions that did not include hurting her in any way, but she couldn’t find a hint as to what he questioned. Kail resolved not to try again today, just to enjoy being with him. Focusing on the warm smile from the handsome face and the good feelings inside her, she pulled her attention back to the situation at hand.

She set the basket in the doorway and stepped forward to embrace Taithrosa on the small stoop of the cottage. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him, noticing how clean his white shirt smelled. Then she leaned back a bit and tipped up her chin and closed her eyes, letting Taith know that she was hoping for him to lean down and kiss her lips.

As she waited for his touch, she enjoyed the warm feeling of the streaming light of Syna’s rays that she pictured touching both of the couples’ skin. Kail reflected that while Taith might glow at night, in the light of the sun, it was her wandering scales that shone and sparkled, highlighting the paleness of her skin and making her look more fragile and delicate. She certainly felt small and vulnerable this close to the large, strong man, but not afraid of the feeling. She was rather happy have his strength with her.

His smiled grew even brighter as the beautiful woman stepped into the sun. He loved how her scales glimmered in the light of Syna's rays. He slipped his arms around her and she hugged him and pressed her small firm body against his own. He smiled down at her as he lowered his head and brought her lips to hers.

Since she had intiated the kiss, Taithrosa didn't hesitate in the kiss. His well formed lips found her perfect lips and he gentle tasted her. He didn't move his lips for a moment just tasting her sweetness. He held her close as he kissed enjoying the feeling of her so close to him. He didn't cross any of those lines, and his hands didn't stray, but just knowing that she was there against him. That she felt safe in his arms was a joy beyond speaking.

Taith deepened the kiss turning he head just so slightly enjoying every taste and touch.

He pulled back slowlly, his eyes full of the love and emmotions he felt for this woman. He was still smiling but there was something shy about his look now, but it was still happy and pleased. His body was filled with a strange warmth that he hadn't felt in this current existances. It was a sensation that seemed to cover him like a second skin sending tingle sensation shooting to his mind. It was a pleasing sensation, but yet at the same time it was like a drug making you crave more. He looked at her with wonder and admiration. He was a large man, strong and to some possible scarry to some, but this small beautiful woman had so much power over him. He couldn't help be feel the love over flowing him.

"Shall we head out." He said not wanting to let her go. He though reluctantly removed his arm from around her and then he bend down and picked up the basket. He lifted it easily and looking loving at her smiled. "I am excited to see what you have planned."

Thoroughly enjoying Taithrosa’s strong, yet gentle kiss, Kail was sorry when it ended. It was a bit of a lesson for her though. Now she knew that if she started something, Taith was willing to finish it. Good information. She wanted to lighten the mood a bit here at the beginning of their day, so she held her face still in a neutral look as he pulled away, teasing him for a minute by withholding her smile. Then she saw his look and couldn’t help it. Her face softened and her lip drew up. She hoped her eyes glowed as brightly as his. “I think we shall.” She drew away from Taith and started walking away from the house, taking advantage of the moment facing away to recompose herself. She didn’t need to act too desperate for affection.

“As to what I have planned, well it really depends on you. Would you like to go walk around the lake? If we make it to a certain point on the shore, there’s a good path leading away to a grassy spot. We should have it all to ourselves and arrive just in time for lunch. That is of course, if you walk at my pace,” Kail joked with a laugh. “The lake should be fabulous today. It’s perfect out and we can take as long as we like.”

“On the other hand, if you would rather visit something in town we can do that instead. I know you haven’t seen everything yet and I’m willing to visit just about anywhere with you. I wanted to leave things a little open today, so we would be free to do what we feel like. It wouldn’t be bad to picnic on the beach either and if we head through town we can end up there. If you decide on that I’ll grab my swimsuit and you can pick up yours in case we end up in the water this afternoon.”

She turned to him to see what he thought about the options. She had debated even asking, then decided that it needed to be perfect for both of them and she didn’t want to decide on something dull for him.

He watched her with amusement and pleasure as she quickly stepped away from him, but not in that running away, just in that I need space way. His silver eyes showed that he was happy and he had seen that same pleased look in her eyes as well. He was so happy that she wanted this as much as he did.

He listened to her proposals about lunch or swiming or visiting the city. He walked up behind her and spoke into her ear his low and deep voice soothing as the words came out. "I think we should go on this picnic first, and then we could go swimming afterwards during the heat of the day." His breath flowing across her ear and down her neck.

"I am excited for today, and think we should do everything we can. We should enjoy ever moment of the day together since it is out time together." He said quietly into her ear, resting the hand not carring the basket on her elbow and slowlly and gentle draging it up to clasp her biscept muscle. "I promise to walk slowlly as well." His voice was filled with hummor at that last statement.

He let go of her arm and walked around, his skin glowing blue in the sun light, and his eyes dancing. His lips were spread into a smile that spoke of his eagerness for the day. His whole person seemed to be full of excitment for the coming day.

Kail felt her own excitement rising even higher with Taith’s enthusiasm and willingness to go along. If he was in for a good day together, it would be. “Perfect. I think we can fit a lot in, even at my pace. Just a minute then,” she said, then disappeared into the house again, retuning quickly with a thin blanket under her arm. She’d tucked her swim suit inside. She wished she’d thought to get a new one of those too while at the clothing shop, but she actual liked her current one and thought Taith probably would too. She set the bundle on top of the basket in Taith’s hand, then went around to his other side to hold his arm as they started walking down the road to the lake.

Holding Taith’s arm was one of Kail’s favorite positions. She could run her fingers lightly over the inside of his elbow or gently feel the well muscled contours of his forearm, all while being enjoyably close to him. She started out the walk just letting her fingers apply slight pressure to arm, attaching herself to him. She was almost skipping at his side.

Then she calmed herself down a bit and asked, “So, how was your evening? Did the meditation go well?”

by **Taithrosa Eldytia** on June 28th, 2010, 2:19 am

Taithrosa enjoyed the feel of Kails skin against his own as they began their walk towards the lake. It was a tingle sensation that seemed to race around his body and into his brain. It was an interesting feeling and one that just made him seem to flow all over.

His eyes looked down at her as she asked about his meditation. Every night he would spend time meditating working on connecting with his inner self. It was a way of connecting with his lost place while at the same time not lossing the progress he had made in this world.

"It was peacefull, but uneventfull." His deep voice said in answer to her question. He looked down at her hand on his elbow and reached his other hand across so that it was gentle resting on hers. "I didn't have any great awakenings." It was usually the cause but ever once and a while he would have some great memeory return, but not often.

"How is the library treating you. Have you discovered what book you want to turn into you masterpieces?" He asked curious. Kail was a scholar and a artist. She was as passionate about the art of writing as any sculture or painter he had any memeory of meeting. It was nice to see someone else how understood passion, and he was glade to see that it reflected into other elements of her life. She was shy, but that didn't mean she was shy around those she knew and liked. His white teeth flashed as he smiled, feeling lucky that he had found her, again.

by **Kail D'Rea** on June 28th, 2010, 11:02 pm

Pleased as always with how easily she could fall into conversation with Tatih and with his interest in her work, Kail happily told Taith about some of the works she was looking at as possible contributions to her final, eventual masterpiece. It was still a bit of a hobby for her, rather than a job, so she wasn’t able to work as quickly as she wanted too, still she chatted on about this book and that, this drawing and that technique. She was still animatedly explaining the process of etching and how use of magnification tools when making the etching itself could allow the artist to highlight the subtle differences in similar plants when they got to the lake. She was happy she could talk about things like this and not feel that Taith was bored with her prattling. Still, she didn’t want the day to be all about her work, so she wrapped it up as they came to a particularly lovely view of the lake.

The plants were abundant on the shore of the calm, clear lake and they framed the landscape perfectly. The flowers on the tropical island added bright colors to the thick green of the foliage and the steady blue of the lake. At this particular point, some bright yellow hibiscus flowers surrounded the path. It really was a breath-taking scene of tranquility and natural perfection.

She paused here and turned to Taith. “I wish I could create something this beautiful for my work. I would be a true master then.” As she looked at him, perfect himself against the backdrop of her familiar and beautiful home, she was again struck with how happy she was. She didn’t smile though, because she didn’t think she could fit all of that happiness into a simple smile. She just looked calmly at the currently Akalak man and waited to see what he thought.

The walk was pleasent and peaceful. Taithrosa actually did enjoy listening to Kail's gentle voice. It seemed to sooth the soul and call out to something deep with in him. He looked at her often as she spoke his silver eyes just enjoying her movements. As they walked he briefly saw another overlay. Again they were walking, she was slightly different, human, but still the same beautiful woman he loved. They were walking through a city this time, its walls and streets ancient. The memeory only last a second, and Taith, was used to these flashes well enough that he didn't even break a stride.

He turned and looked over the simplistic beauty of the lake. There was a peace here that was uncommon even for Mura with its quiet streets and picturesqe buildings. This lake seemed to have a deep contection to more then just the here and now.

He looked at her as she said that she wanted something this beautiful. That she wanted to create beauty. He walked forward and pushed a strand of hair out of her face and behind her ear. He gave her a gentle smile, a private one that was ment only for her. In his eyes he beheald the greatest beauty of the area. For she was a beautiful soul, one of the few that seemed to shine brightly and drew him as if to a flame. "I know you will achieve your dream. You shall find you master pieces and I will be there with you."
