RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Rapture - 07-12-2017 Rapture somewhere between the sand and the stardust He doesn’t spare a glance for her, and with each passing breath, she seems to wilt just a little bit more. Finally, a deep breath escaping her lungs, she turns her gaze from him, refusing to believe she had misjudged so quickly. So soon. But then his low words rumble into the air. The timbre causes a shiver to trace along her spine, but the words themselves startle a flinch from her. Ducking her head, she hunches her shoulders as her gaze seeks out something, anything other than her two companions. A single thought is all it takes to shield her features from their sight, to once again the don the mask of youthful perfection. there is a pulse that echoes of you and I RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Levi - 07-13-2017 The green brute continues his posturing, eyes and mouth morphing in surreal ways. But then each stallion abruptly seems to have more interest in Rapture than the other. As he watches the beautiful disguise slip over her face once again, Levi knows that he was wrong. In his breast cool fingers of guilt have replaced the fire which burned there only moments before. The creature which had put an end to their games of discovery is wholly forgotten, once again Rapture holds his full attention. He should have waited. She would have told him everything if he had asked softy when they were alone - and Levi is surprised to find himself thinking of the next time they will be alone. “Its nothing” She murmurs, and he knows that is not enough. Levi can see the cunning in the angular veridian face of her father, he will not be so easily diverted. Levi suspects he is outmatched by the older stallion when it comes to wit, but still he find himself wishing there was something he could say, or better yet un-say. But the father looks at his daughter with searching eyes and seriousness for the first time since he showed up. He had sought to use her to gain the upper hand, to divert attention from himself and it had worked. So why do I feel like shit? He can find nothing to say (not for lack of trying) so, the heavy and and tall he stands there silent as an oak tree when he should be smoothing things over. He is not smooth, nor slick and his lack of on the spot cunning leaves him looking like an idiot and feeling all the more uncomfortable because of it. Despite all of this, he doesn't think of leaving. He is far too entrenched in the unfolding drama for his normal way of dealing with conflict to come to mind. Jaw clenched and brow furrowed, his gaze never leaves her face. Real or not. Levi so scream you, out from behind the bitter ache. RE: A Smouldering Fire..

RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Rapture - 07-27-2017 Rapture somewhere between the sand and the stardust That small, insignificant patch of earth and leaf litter has become so fascinating in her desire to avoid her father’s heavy gaze that she fails to notice the way that Levi shifts his gaze to her. The regret and confusion warring upon his features, an expression she might have too easily been tempted to wipe away with a single touch. But her gaze, purposely avoiding him, her father, remains fixed upon that one small point. Quiet and soft and shy she might be, but she has inherited something from her parents. That particular brand of stubbornness that refuses to give in to intimidation. there is a pulse that echoes of you and I RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Levi - 08-16-2017 Stay safe.
And with another breath, they are as they were before - alone. She sways and he is there. Without calculation or forethought, he moves to close the gap between them, pressing his dark shoulder into the contrast of her own.Her words come out barely distinguishable from the current of her breath and he tilts his heavy crown towards her muzzle, furthering their closeness. But his anticipation is not quenched. Blue lips close over the words she can or will not say and he is stranded, a man with his hunger denied. She seems content to let her statement, apology, request or whatever it may have been fizzle and die. But he is not. "Rapture." her silence pulls the words from the tightness of his throat. "Say it, Rapture. It's ok." His words are nowhere near right. But the curt words, lacking in eloquence, are softened by their texture. Like hers, they are mostly breath but underneath the substance in there, the grit and smoke in the consonance. Her hesitation causes him to back to the sky where the raven had disappeared, scanning for any sign of the strange creature. But the dark stallion suspects his cautious glance is worthless. Such a skilled shifter as her father seemed to be could probably transform himself into a fly if he wished to remain unseen. Part of his mind to dwell on the possibility of such a skill, and how valuable it could be, but Rapture's warmth draws him back to the scene he is in now. With the flames flickering behind his pupils he trys to will her unspoken words back into exhistance. Levi so scream you, out from behind the bitter ache. @[Rapture] RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Rapture - 08-22-2017 Rapture somewhere between the sand and the stardust As though he is reading her mind, he is there next to her, his strength supporting her slender frame, bolstering her in ways she had not anticipated. She is not a creature made for reticence, for coldness, and his heat draws her in like little else could. She presses closer, until blue melds almost perfectly with dark mahogany. Delicate head tipping, she leans into him, her lips finding his skin, as though she might find the words she wishes to say buried there. there is a pulse that echoes of you and I RE: A Smouldering Fire.. Rapture ..Any - Levi - 08-31-2017 Bring me with you. I want to see where you live. But he hadn't been home in over a year, and he wasn't going home now. He had something to do, something the last year of his life had been leading up to. Something you don't want any part of, soft eyed girl. "I'm not going home." He looks away from her glistening blue eyes, he wasn't a creature meant to be anyone's hope, and that was hard to own when he looked in those eyes. "Anyway, I don't think you would like me if you knew me better." He says, shedding the intimacy and softness he had given into with a sarcastic cocked grin. This is not a soft smile or a smile meant to make another feel at ease. This gesture cheapens what had passed between them, devalued their earlier seriousness with its nonchalance. Bad boy, bad boy - gentle touches and shared secrets were not for him. "There is something I have to do." He pulls himself from her side, slowly, painfully - momentarily lapsing in his resolve. The strange blue fire she has summoned inside of him fights this, begs him to pull her close. But he does not. The heightening intensity of his feelings makes him even more sure that is doing what must be done, shaking his head, he takes another step back from her warmth and her kindness. He had always looked down on them, the lovers - their vulnerability and their shared whispers. And she made him want to become something he had always despised. Weak. 'A compromise,' the blue fire of wanting begs. "I live in Tephra." Levi concedes. "I'll be back there by winter and if you still want a tour then, that's where I'll be." With his heart hammering against his ribs he turns to leave. Levi so scream you, out from behind the bitter ache. @[Rapture] Timeline wise this conversation took place right before he went and gathered the Hyaline attack group in the Meadow... But now (a year after Hyaline) he is in Tephra being a good boy and of course, he has been thinking about Rapture now and then. So if she posts in Tephra he can find her there <3 |
