In which; we contemplate the misuse of travel.

[cursed_analysis]

[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?

You can touch, you know~

[But he isn't going to let her too much, they are sensitive. For the moment though, he's going to essentially ignore her and start scrubbing his tail carefully. While this was unnecessary, it was very nice to do, hence why he asked for permission.]

[occulthymns]

[She hesitates, watching him for a few moments before deciding it can't hurt. Making sure she stays covered, she'll reach out to brush her fingertips against one wing.]

[cursed_analysis]

[He doesn't look up, but he trembles from the touch, and sighs, rather longingly. He can't really explain it, but he really loves for people to touch them, it's arousing in some way, but it's just so nice that it's almost startling.

He continues moving along his tail, washing it carefully while it coils through his hands..]

[occulthymns]

[She gives him a little wary glance when she notices the trembling, but doesn't stop touching his wings. They're... well, they're pretty and the only things she knows of that would have such things are Demons, which she likes very much, so she actually feels a bit more relaxed now.]

Have you always had these?

[cursed_analysis]

[It's a very lovely thing that she likes them. He always feels as if people will be put off by them. Sighing again, he adjusts them a bit so he can turn away some, his tail flopping into the floor a moment before it idly wavs.]

Ah, no. I've not always had these... [She may not notice the distance in his face, but likely in his voice it is hard not to.]

It's a long story... Perhaps I'll tell you one day, Miss Euri.

[occulthymns]

Ah.... [She hesitates a little, before lowering her hand.]

Maybe after the shower? [She's curious, very curious.]

[cursed_analysis]

Oh? [Well this was an odd change compared to when he first entered the shower, but yes. This was mostly a good thing. Only mostly because it will involve some bad memories for him, but he is trying to entertain a guest.

He nods after a moment, having finished with his tail, and he turns as best as he can to start on his wings.]

Yes~ It shouldn't take long, despite how it looks.

[occulthymns]

I'm just about done, so....

[Speaking of, she's quick to finish up with her hair and scrub herself down. She'd like more time in the shower, but she'd like it alone. She's getting tired anyway, so maybe listening to him talk about those wings and tail will help her relax some more.]

[cursed_analysis]

[His wings really don't take long. When he's finished, he's been busy scrubbing everything else with his tail and then folds his wings up so he can step out of the shower and give her a moment while he dries and then disappears quickly into his room to get some fresh clothes, and something to sleep in. Simple black shorts. He then pokes his head in long enough to announce he's heading to the living room to wait before shutting the door and having a seat.]

[occulthymns]

[Once she finishes up she's fairly quick to get out of the shower and dry off. Unfortunately, since she doesn't have any other clothes she's changing into what she wore when she showed up. After drying her hair as much as possible she'll head into the living room, sitting down near him.]

Before you start, I need something to sleep in.

[cursed_analysis]

Of course~

[Getting up quickly, Arro moves back to his bedroom and after taking several seconds choosing returns with a purple dress shirt for her, sitting and offering it to her.]
Here you are, Miss Euri~ Did you want me to wait?

[occulthymns]

Yeah.

[She likes the colour, so she doesn't look too put off as she takes it and darts back into the bathroom to change. She's keeping her underwear on, but she'll set aside everything else and come back out in the shirt. It's obviously too large for her, but that makes it comfortable and she'll take a seat near him.]

Um, thanks.

[cursed_analysis]

Of course, Miss Euri. Now... About wings. I should also tell you about my home since they're related. [He pauses with a sigh.] Mar was part of a floating continent originally, and drifted over the rest of the world for an untold amount of time while the rest of it recovered from the land being poisoned...

[He goes on to talk about how it fell from the sky, made slaves out of people that came to worship the people that survived, how it made war with the rest of the world, and how he eventually made Intelligence, went off on a trip to investigate gypsies, and became cursed because he slept with a princess when she was actually betrothed. How Mar slowly changed, and many other things, basically summing up with the fact that he's been wandering a really long time.]

This house is...about as close to my old home as I can live. The area was turned into a historical district. They hold tours and such. I don't think my actual home survived the conversion sadly. And that's why I have these wings and this tail.

[occulthymns]

[Good lord, this sounds incredibly unreal. It might as well be a fairy tale, but no matter how strange it is Euri is rapt with attention. By the time he finishes she's been staring at him in total awe for the past ten minutes.]

Ah.... [Because really, what else can one say to all of that?

Then she yawns, because it's getting late and she's tired and that was a perfect bedtime story.]

The - that was amazing.

[cursed_analysis]

[Arro smiles. Youth is so nice sometimes.]

Of course, Miss Euri, did you need me to walk you back? I understand it's quite far, but for a sleepy beauty, I can make some concessions I think~

[He waits, still looking terribly alert despite the hour, but he never rests well, she will find.]

[occulthymns]

[That actually gets a little chuckle out of her, and she smiles.]

Who says I want to move? I'm comfy right here.

[cursed_analysis]

[There's a noticeable pause here, while he thinks on how to answer this.]

I see. Well Miss Euri, while I am glad for that, I have to question what a poor soul like me will ever do... [He sounds appropriately pouty here. There is the larger question of what's on her mind now. She seems very flighty, almost like a fairy, but he does have to question since she's not perfectly normal if she isn't some time of Fae.]

[occulthymns]

I'm surprised you're complaining, considering you're the one who insisted on showering with me.

[That does make her hesitate a little. Falling asleep here probably wouldn't be a good idea.]

[cursed_analysis]

Not at all Miss Euri~ In fact, I think its a fine idea, I was merely surprised...

[He moves to make a little more room for her. Nothing like someone to cuddle with. He's just hoping she'll forgive him. He can be a devil to sleep with at times.]

[occulthymns]

W - well! [She is so very tempted, but after a few moments she's standing abruptly.] I was just being silly. I'm going to sleep in your bed.

[cursed_analysis]

Sleep well, Miss Euri~ I'm told the nights can be a bit disorienting if one isn't used to the climate~

[He has a plan now, part of which is attempting to sleep, but he doubts he will, hence being so accommodating.]

[occulthymns]

I'm sure I'll be okay.

[Hopefully. She's ready for a thoroughly restful sleep right about now. Heading to his room she'll crawl into bed, curling up under the blankets and falling asleep rather quickly.]

[cursed_analysis]

[Having every intention on sleeping himself, he lays down and closes his eyes, and...two hours later has planned out a fairly interesting day for them tomorrow. Sighing, he sits up and an idea occurs. Grinning, he strips down and crawls up onto the ceiling, moving down the hall to his room, and moving down and under the bed. There's a pause as he changes fully, a very quiet crack sounding as his body shifts, and then underneath the bed glows faintly as lines paint themselves onto his body. Reaching onto the side of the bed, he pulls himself up from underneath it, his wings flaring slightly as his grin has now almost split his face to reveal his sharp teeth, while his eyes are yet more piercing than before, glowing palely in the blackness of his features.

But, as menacing as Euri may or may not find him, he's here for a certain reason.]

[occulthymns]

[Euri, meanwhile, falls into a nice, relaxing slumber. It's needed after the stressful day she's had, and his bed is comfortable so she's quite happy for it.

It's a few hours later when the cracking reaches her ears, but it isn't quite enough to wake her up. But with a soft mumbling she rolls over, Arro's shirt slipping down one shoulder.]

[cursed_analysis]

[This is just the opportunity he had been wanting, and he leans onto the bed, trailing a claw down her body lightly while he nips at the exposed shoulder. Not lingering, he moves to her neck while his tail curls around one of her thighs and pulls to spread her legs open so he can tease at her entrance with his thumb.]
