Of all the times to start feeling bashful...gods, he was Percival Pirian for Kress' sake. Now was not the time to get shy. "I'm certain there's plenty more I'd love to learn about you as well, my dear," was the answer he finally formed as the blushing beauty guided him along. Val found himself...

"Cozy" was right. The inn had a very down-home feel to it that Val had always liked when he'd come in the past, but...well, he'd obviously never been to it with Perrine before, and that put an edge on the atmosphere that he hadn't expected. The alcohol continued to course through his veins, Val...

Every kiss was a new arcane lightshow in Val's head, and he was elated each time Perrine returned for more. Perhaps thankfully, she had arrived at the same conclusion that he had, only she still maintained the mind to actually voice the thought. Val blushed, a bit flustered by both her words...

The quiet atmosphere of the night around the pair swirled around them, the cool, gentle breeze giving its polite reminder that the world outside of their embrace did still exist. Val only recognized it subconsciously, all of his focus on the beautiful woman in front of him instead. When Perrine...

Val very much enjoyed the effect he seemed to have on Perrine, but he'd have been lying if he'd said she wasn't having a similar effect on him. He could hardly fight off the feelings the two of them were cascading towards, and he didn't much want to. This all felt so incredibly natural, and more...

"Not necessarily...I think it just depends on the eyes that behold such spectacles," he slowed further as they reached a corner, pale moonlight shining down on the two of them, the distant flicker of a fireplace illuminating the path before a cozy looking building. "For instance..." Val took a...

"I would not dare to have you stay at anything less than...well, let's say three stars. Can't expect perfection in this part of town...but it's decent, at least," Val chatted back, thankfully able to remember the roads despite the fog of intoxication clouding his mind. He couldn't imagine how...

Only as Perrine began to drag Val from the tavern did he begin to realize just how inebriated he'd become. The world seemed to swim from side to side in his vision, and while he was momentarily disappointed that the two had broken their brief closeness, his brain finally caught up to what was...

Goodness. Perrine's proximity only just now occurred to Val. She was substantially taller than he'd realized, such that her intense, scrutinous gaze made his cheeks flush. Perrine spoke of painting Val, when she herself looked the part of a model. He couldn't help but smile like a fool, at a...

A hearty laugh escaped Val as Perri went right back to her nervous antics. "Well, I'm not usually quite so sappy. It would seem you have a way of bringing it out of me," he replied, more than happy with the effect he seemed to have on her. "Well, should we finish this bottle? "That depends...

Val had heard tell of some divine entity that fired arrows through the hearts of men, bewitching and endearing them to the hearts of others. He hadn't ever believed in such stories before, of course--tall tales, all of them--and until this night he'd never leant any credence to them. When...

Val cocked his head. Was that...bashfulness? Sure, he'd only met the woman within the hour, but she hadn't seemed the type. It was...honestly rather cute. He set an elbow on the table then rested his chin in his palm. "I'm always eager to learn. Though of course that does imply I get to see...

For all the curious techniques Val had borrowed over his years, he couldn't recall ever having one that let him feel another's heartbeat like this one did. When Perrine's heartbeat shifted it was heart not to notice. She pulled back after a time and Val fought off the urge to be suddenly...

There was a stinging in the location that Perrine focused her magic, but Val barely flinched. The alcohol numbed the pain, and his intrigue far outweighed his sense at the moment. "That I can..." he answered. Just as quickly as she'd caused the scratch to appear, she willed it away. Mechanisms...

Val gave over his hands willingly, that drive for knowledge surging back. "Fascinating..." he said in a hushed tone as he watched and felt her (literally) work her magic. Val had been given time already to figure out the bard and bartender's tricks. "Trick" was a generous term as well; the bard...
