006 // spoiler alert

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian Pavus
Broadcast: YOU KNOW IT! FLEET WIDE.
Action: Only if you can find him!
When: RIGHT MEOW.

[Dorian is reading from a book with a woman and a man on the gover, clearing his throat and grinning impishly.]

Ah, good afternoon. I thought I might treat you to this book I found. Let's see here...

[He flips through the pages]

“He gives us a sack of tatties of a Friday. And sometimes after kirk he delivers a haggis..." No, that started promising, but that's not it, let's see here...

[He flips through the pages, frowning to himself, occasionally looking slightly scandalized, he gets nearly through the whole book, when FINALLY.]

Ahah! Here we are.

[He clears his throat, and starts in. As he reads, he's a positive ham about it.]

“Savages such as you, such as I.” He kissed her lightly at first, his lips brushing against hers and his hands sliding down her sides.

“Is that what we are, Gavin Macgregor? Savages?” Gavin pulled away from her, sucking her lip softly between his and tasting every inch of the woman he’d loved for his entire life for the first time. He tilted his head to one side. “Ach, you may be more savage than me by twice.”

So close that their breath mixed between them, the walls around the pair seemed to vanish. Kenna slid her hands down Gavin’s arms, her fingers bouncing over every little muscle and tendon. She looked down at his chest, then back into his eyes, lost in the ocean she found.

Words, words, I don't even know half of what this man is saying...here we go...

She closed her eyes and Gavin kissed her along her jaw, behind her ear. Kenna’s skin prickled to life where he kissed, and where the heat from his palms burned through her dress.

[And then he flips the page, and then again. There are only a handful of pages left in the book.]

...that's it? I was hoping for more than just a single kiss!

[He makes a disgusted noise and pitches the book over his shoulder.]

Comments

[serpentis]

You're just encouraging me, now.

[blightedson]

I do tend to do that, don't I?

Perhaps I'm just bored.

[serpentis]

And you see, they always thought I was the troublemaker! I wouldn't have gotten into half the messes I did if not for your undue influence.

[He laughs softly.]

[blightedson]

[He chuckles a bit at that.]

Good luck proving that one, Dorian.

[serpentis]

Ah, like a good politician, always covering your tracks! You would have been such a good Magister. Just add a little murder, and you have the major parts covered!

[blightedson]

Oh yes, I'm sure they would have loved that. Barely more than a soporati and in the Senate? And you think you're the one who causes scandals.

[serpentis]

I thought I'd give you a chance to cause a fuss, this time! You could see how you like it.

[blightedson]

I don't know. I have seen a fuss made over me enough for a lifetime. [Which is funny because he doesn't have much of a lifetime left, but he's not morbid enough to say that.]

I was hoping for a bit of obscurity.

[serpentis]

Ah, well, I suppose you will have it, then! I can start:

Felix, who? I don't know anything about anyone named Felix.

[blightedson]

[He chuckles gently]

Ah, yes, what a nice change of pace.

[serpentis]

Who is this charming man talking to me? Well, hello, my name is Dorian Pavus, and who might you be, good sir?

[He waggles his eyebrows a little.]

[blightedson]

[He laughs a bit stronger at that, and it causes him to cough a bit.]

All right, you have to stop. Otherwise I might say something foolish.

[serpentis]

Oh, and I do love it when I can fluster a man to babbling.

[He smiles.]

I'll take this as victory enough.

[blightedson]

It doesn't help that I'm very good at babbling.
