In which; we contemplate the misuse of travel.

[The experiment was a perfect success! Except, no. Not at all really.

Arro looked at the latest results of opening a rend in the dimensions, and arguably this was stranger still than his own wanderings to an fro; he hadn't quite realized that it opened an actual doorway--back and forth travel. He was under the impression he'd been opening one-way holes that only would allow him to go through.

Which brought him to the girl. Cute, which was perfectly acceptable. He knelt, looking her over carefully. Undeniably curious if the rend had done this, or if she tripped into the doorway, he looked her over from head to toe. Regardless, he sighed softly; it would be quite a bit before he could open another. Still, might as well see if she understands the Low Speech or if he'll have to try Common instead.]

Ma se Sicuz, Femma?

[She shifts a little bit, shrugging.]

I don't know, everywhere? I just like to travel and getting to see new places.

Excellent~

[He leans in until he's pressed against her once more.]

We can see the city of water here in Atael, we can travel all over in fact~ Assuming you don't mind inns and such?

[She fidgets nervously, looking up at him.]

What about sending me back home?? Don't you need to work on that??

Fret not, Euri. I can work on that as we go. There's nothing special about that room except that it's in my house~

[He grins, since he's teasing her now, checking to see if she'd actually be willing to travel with him or not.]

[She narrows her eyes, trying to decide whether or not he's lying. Getting to see a new world would be exciting....]

... Fine.

[He smirks knowingly, taking her hands in his again to squeeze them. It was time for one more tease to see where it might lead.]

How wonderful~ Also how fortuitous we're in the bedroom conveniently to celebrate~

[She's blushing again, hard, and looking freaked out.]

W - we aren't doing that! Stop being a pervert!

How deeply I weep, Euri...

[Well, in that way it made it more fun still, surely. He hardly minds, even if he would like otherwise. He still doesn't move though.]

Yeah, right. You just want to sleep with me.

[She'll pull away, standing.]

And I want to clean up and go to bed, so get out.

Miss Euri~! I'm deeply wounded...I value you for your whole being, I could easily sleep with someone if I wanted, but you fascinate me~

[He'll instead recline on the bed a bit longer.]

As long as you understand I'll be sleeping with you literally, if not figuratively~

[Meaning, this was his bed and she could sleep in it if she wanted, but he was sleeping in it as well.]

[She bristles slightly, scowling at him.]

I'm not sleeping in the same bed as you. Sleep somewhere else. This place must have a second bedroom.

All of my relatives died a long time ago. I don't expect company so I shouldn't need a second bedroom.

[This may be the first time he has sounded serious since she arrived, and he doesn't look like he wants to discuss it heavily.]

[She looks a bit uncomfortable at the change in his tone and his reasoning, glancing away and fidgeting.]

Then - then go sleep on the couch.

[What little lighting in the room ebbs as the already deep shadows grow, coupled with a tingle in the air and a cool breeze, it might likely unsettle anyone, and in the gloom to very pale blue points are distinct--his irises, the whites already filling with black around them.]

Miss Taverna. I consider myself a gracious host, but I have been told I can be quite the devil, please don't put me out.

[And just as quickly, the mood lightened along with the room. Arro stands up at that, collecting a pillow from his bed, and wearing a smile again.]

Dear me. I do apologize, dark-element non-humans tend to be emotional here on my world, and I forgot my place for a moment... Have a good night, Miss Euri~

[Her sixth sense is pretty poor compared to full-blooded Witches, but even Euri can sense something off as he looks at her. It's a few seconds before she realizes she's tensed up, and even when the mood lightens she doesn't relax.

Dark-element non-human?]

R... right. Don't bother me, I need my sleep.

I'm sure you do, Miss Euri~ Until tomorrow...

[Heading out the door, he turns, staring at her pointedly as he shuts the door. Something about her suddenly irritates him, and it has to stop. She is a guest, and granted, while he wasn't overly pleased at being turned away, he did respect her not wanting to do anything. It was the assumption he'd have people around him, likely. Contrary to appearances, he was quite solitary, out of need. Tossing the pillow lightly onto a couch, he slipped off his shoes, undid his tie, removed it, his jacket, his sleeve bands, vest, and shrugged his suspenders off his shoulders with a sigh. Folding everything and placing it on the table neatly, he reclines on the couch and shuts his eyes, wondering if he'll actually sleep much or be plagued with more nightmares.]

[She sighs heavily once he's gone, turning and flopping face down on the bed. Gods, this day has been terrible. Stuck in some new world, felt up by by an (attractive) pervert, and now sleeping in his bedroom. Fantastic.

Fortunately she's too tired to put forth any more energy into feeling frustrated and scared and angry, so she instead decides to poke around a bit until she finds one of the door leads to the bathroom. Perfect, she could use a shower.

Cleaning up a bit, she'll fuss with the shower knobs until she's sure she has them figured out. Then she'll get the hot water going, strip down, and hop in. The warmth is relaxing and after running her fingers through her long hair a couple times she'll start looking around for some soap and shampoo.]

[A bottle is discreetly nudged into place by a very dark reddish-brown spade.

Currently, he's standing behind her, on the wall, and well out of the stream of water, watching her. He had been coming in here to do very much the same, but alas, she's beaten him to it, and...Well, he can't deny that the trip was hardly a waste. Now the problem fell to how to approach her, because he had a feeling that if she saw him casually standing on the wall with very large wings complete with a spaded tail, she'd be anything but welcoming. Stepping down quietly around the corner and back down the wall to the floor he waits a moment, moving to sit on his counter as the wings and tail recede into his back. Taking a moment to consider the matter, he opts for being the bold type yet again, and undresses fully, folding his clothes neatly and finally placing his glasses reverently on top of the stack. He then takes a moment to consider just how much of a fool he is before he steps into the shower as well, picking up the soap and with a small cough holds it up.]

Looking for this~?

[The wall is the absolute last place she'd look for a person, especially when she doesn't actually know his full abilities. But the bottle catches her attention, and she snaps it up quickly, bringing it close to her face and squinting as she reads the label.

It seems a little fancy, but it's definitely what she's looking for, so she lathers her hands up and starts working it into her hair. It's certainly a process given how long it is, so she doesn't notice Arro until he's stepping into the shower with her.

Then she's staring for a split second, before letting out an ear-piercing shriek as she stumbles backwards, a burst of fire exploding between them.]

[He was expecting something, thankfully, which is why he wasn't burned. Stepping back as soon as she started stumbling, he quickly waves his arm just infront of him, freezing the spray of water into a sheet of ice as he extends a hand from which a tiny black orb appears, taking in all the air between him and the ice, which snuffs the fire.

He then takes a deep breath, because, making a vacuum even for a split second is both tiring, and dangerous. He can do a lot of things, but survive without air isn't one of them, and he even has a seat on the edge of the shower, ignoring Euri utterly for a moment as he checks everything to make sure he wasn't hurt or missing anything. He seemed to be in order.]

[Euri lets out a second shriek, hastily covering herself up with her arms as she flattens back against the wall. The ice and the orb have her scared and confused and even after everything has settled down she isn't moving from that spot.]

What are you doing?? Get out of here you pervert!

You wound me...I merely wanted a shower, too.

[He's also being stubborn and refusing to get out of the shower, instead turning his back to her. It isn't his intention, but this also reveals the batwing tattoos on his shoulders and the column of runes inked onto his back.]

Surely you can allow me this if I keep my back to you.

[She doesn't move from her spot against the wall, though her eyes do give him a quick once over before he turns around and again to get a look at his tattoes.]

C - can't you wait until I'm done??

[With his back to her, he grins, and shrugs. Thinking the matter over is easy enough but he decides to mess with her again.]

I could, but on the other hand, it's bad to waste water...

What are you talking about?? Does this place have a shortage of water?? I won't even be that long!
