Tempted [Iris and Kail]

[Serenity Caine]

Blossom Festival Date for: @irismaedeha and @runicblade 
Location: Goussael River
NPC'd by: Buggy for now

"This should be interesting..." A voice could be heard directly behind both parties of this pairing, before a blinding light took over them both, transporting them to a remote location. The Goussael River; not too far from the city but also quiet and quaint. Signs of the Blossom Festival were everywhere; flowers littered the river, and lanterns occasionally floated by, having fallen from the Romance Bridge. This particular spot didn't bring in too much traffic, so for the most part it was calm. 

It would take a moment for the spots in their eyes to go away once the light faded, and during that moment Kail would heard that voice again in his ear. "Stop looking past what is right in front of you. Before you lose it all." Moments later Iris would hear the same voice in her ear as well. "Be kind. Not everyone has as thick a skin as you..." Ominous and to the point. Well its not like this was her festival. Who cares if she ran it a bit differently. 

Once they were able to see again, they of course would see one another first, given that they were no more than 5ft away from each other. Looking around, they would find towels, a blanket, and two dull sparing swords; giving them variety. It was late afternoon, and it they stuck around long enough, they may be able to see the special flowers bloom around the Romantic Bridge, though they were a bit far from it.

Kail had remembered the blossom festival from last year and he did remark that he was paired off with Yuki. It did not end up into a relationship well more then friends but was fine with it. He far more realized that he was a bit too troubled on trying to start a relationship with someone that was far from friendship. He did not pay any mind to events going on outside of his farmhouse. The blond was currently enjoying a glass of lemonaide he made. But then heard a voice in his head, something in it told him to take this seriously. He was then poofed to another place and as Kail rubbed his eyes. The Champion of Fate was trying to figure out where he was and saw that he was back in the city. And hoped that what he was wearing would not be bad, as he was wearing the outfit that he was wearing on fixing his house. The blond wondered who he was paired off with as he did not see who it was. Or that they were not warped into the area.

Iris was freaking out. Why the hell couldn’t she see? And who was talking to her before? Iris stood, panicking silently to herself until she heard the voice again. She didn’t understand what it meant, but it was cheesy as all hell.

As her eyes cleared up, she saw that she was near a river and then saw Kail was only a few feet away from her. Oh! This must be the result of the flower she’d purchased not long before. Oh hey blondie. Iris grinned. Iris had chosen something a little more “Novian” today, trying to somewhat blend in. Her breasts were covered by a white fabric, connected to a jacket over her shoulders, the sleeves stopping at her forearms, with a hood attached. There was a black piece of fabric wrapped around her torso, a skirt flowing down around her, split open in the front, showing off her fur covered legs. The hood was currently up, over her golden hair.

As Kail oritated himself after the warping and heard someone speak up behind him. He then turned to Iris as she was dressed like one of the local people there. "Uh hi Iris, were you warpped here in a bright flashing light" said the blond as he started to walk over to her. Just to see if he was in working condtion and it looked like he was. But just a tad uneasy from the sudden warp. "So did you put my name in something for this festival or something" he asked since he did not put his name in. Or anything like the previous event since last year, even then how was he going to date a female. He had some basic idea back in his world but nova on the other hand. The blond had no freaking clue what to do or anything like that. One rule he had was to not panic, and two to have a towel with him. Saddly he did not have the second rule or item on him. But it seemed that the last few times he was panicing it ended up rather badly.

[Deleted]

Iris nodded. That I was. She confirmed, moving to take a look around. She’d never really gone around the river before. She glanced back to Kail with a grin. Oh the rose. Yeah. We never get to spend time together and I’m rather fond of your butt so I figured this was a good way to get you here; you couldn’t say no! Iris snorted,only half joking.

She could tell her friend was a bit shaken up by the whole situation. Hey man, it doesn’t have to be a “date”. We can just make it like to buds hanging out. Only I have large feminine features I’m fairly certain you can’t ignore; but we can hang out however you want. I didn’t really mean to make you uncomfortable about it.[/b]

[Deleted]

Kail blushed slightly from the cute butt comment from Iris and it was rather evident on his face. Then he heard her say something as she realized something about the date. As Kail was rather uneasy on this situation and he was for that matter. All of this time for Kail though he had no idea as to why he had such a hard time with women. "Sorry Iris.....I must look like a damn mess. Look I am not gay, since I would bang any hot looking female including you. But I have no idea where I just shut down like this. Hell I try and fail" the blond tried to keep thinking why he was like this. He felt like shit as he just wanted to crawl under a rock. Since he knew Iris must have been with far more condident and more manly men. And he must have looked pathetic. He wanted to sigh as there went his self confidence there. Then wanted to punch himself as he was always runing situations like this and killing moods.

"Look Iris don't feel guilty.....its just me thats bringing this down. Hell why is it that I screw things up all the time" he said walking over to the river bank and sat down. He tried his best not to make her feel down. But more then likely failed since he was unsure of what to do. He always had a hard time with women. Since unlike most he was just so unsure about relationships that were very much beyond friendships. But they were friends though and why was it such a problem now? Was it that he was socially on the spot rather then a life or death situation?

[Deleted]

Iris chuckled to herself, watching Kail flounder slightly at her comment. She never quite understood this world and how people were so much more sensitive with those comments. Where she was from, people were always blunt, and claimed what was theirs! Sure, being shy was a thing, but Iris had never understood it. Being honest and blunt was just who she was. But she was learning to try and be more appropriate about it. When Kail responded, Iris snorted at the gay part, snorted harder on the "would bang any hot looking female including you” and sighed at the end. Iris watched whatever internal battle Kail was having with himself, not stepping in yet. When he began speaking again, telling her not to feel guilty, Iris shook her head.

She followed him to the riverbank and sat down beside him, grossing her groat like legs and fixing the fabric of the skirt to sit properly; something she was getting rather annoyed with. After a moment, she threw her arm around Kails shoulders. Look bud. I have a few bases to cover here, so bear with me now. One: Oh my god you made a gay joke towards yourself- and you can’t get pissed at me for commenting on it. You just can’t. Iris snorted to herself again, still finding that bit comical. Two, I’m glad to know I count as hot in your book; most humans see the goat half and get weirded out. So kudos to you my friend; the feeling is mutual. She winked teasingly. And three, I don’t feel guilty. I set this up so I would get a chance to hang out with someone I consider a good friend of mine; whether we view it as a date or as friends I don’t care. If the “date” concept is whats bringing out down, then just forget about it. She paused, trying to think about how to approach the whole “I screw things up” part. As he’d witnessed a while before at his farm house, she wasn’t great at advice, but she was damn well trying.

Kail… You are who you are. No one expects you to sleep around just because you can; flirt naturally because you’re a guy; not get flustered in situations where its okay to get flustered. If you blush because an insanely hot woman said your butt was cute, then you blush! If you get nervous over being around a woman, or going further with her; so what? Thats natural. Don’t compare yourself to someone like me. I’m desensitized to a lot of that stuff. It happens as the years go by. But you’re still young and learning. Its gonna take time. Iris shrugged, patting his shoulder with the hand around his shoulders.

Kail looked over and just listend and he wanted to facepalm a bit at himself. He only threw the defense up since the only time he kind of got it on was when he used the gender bender ring. Well he was being honest with Iris since well.....although did want to go down that avanue just yet. Plus the hot comment on him, well he was the only geek/nerd in this world so he did have one advantage then some males on the individual area. Since he was a one of a kind person, as of right now. But none the less he lets her speak on and just listen to what she had to say. "Thanks......I guess its that I have a lot of insecurities left. Plus I guess I have been self preservation mode for almost a year to keep myself alive and watching my back for so long I have not had time to relax. So right now, I don't know where to go and have some fun. Except going back to my place and go at it like rabbits" he said after feeling a bit better. As well as try his hand at making a joke at least since he was never able to get humor down that well. But Kail did have his moments where he did make people laugh.

It was nice to feel the touch of another person, like this in a long time. Since Kail again had almost no time to take it easy. As he was always working on something or just keeping up his survival. As he did not know when the next hammer would drop down apon him. So that tenseness was always with him and keeping him hyper vigilant to everything around him and every situation.

After giving the speech she did, she waited for Kail to respond, watching the fish swim around in the current of the river. When he did start talking, she glanced over at him, nodding along as he spoke. As he got to the last bit, Iris snorted laughing again, bringing her other hand up to wipe “tears” from her eyes. When she was finished, she leaned away from him slightly to get a better look at his face, her arm still around him, with a highly amused look on her face. She shook her head lightly, her grin growing. Don’t make promises you can’t keep blondie. Iris arched her eyebrow at him, testing how far she could take it. After a moment, she chuckled again, no longer leaning away from him, facing the river again.

Insecurities never go away. But they don’t bother you if you ignore them. Iris shrugged. Confidence doesn’t appear over night, but it will never appear if you don’t wake up one day and decide you want to be confident in yourself. You can say you want it, but you won’t start to truly feel it until you stop looking at yourself as a project. You need to accept who you are, what you look like and where your weaknesses lie, and start making note of who you are, how good you look, and where your strengths lie. At least thats what I do. Iris shrugged again. I understand what you mean. I’ve only been here for a couple months now, but I get it. Its hard, being the outsiders. But somehow, most of us find a way to make it work; and for most of us, you’re our first role model in this world. We set out in search of how to make this world a home, or at least survive in it, but I don’t think nearly half of us would have made it if we hadn’t met someone like you when we got here. Iris turned her head to him again, smiling. You’re a hero to some of these people. She leaned her head against his, trying not to put to much pressure on him, knowing her horns could hurt him.

[Deleted]

"I'm going to stop myself before I dig myself a bigger hole" said Kail with a chuckle as he might have gotten himself into something he could not handle. But he had delt with much bigger but was unsure of Iris though. Things then got a bit deeper with the conversation. Perhaps even though it was that he had confidence it was just things on the line or his life. Perhaps he needed to slow down and take the time for the roses. What surprised him was the fact that he was a technical hero or a real champion for the fated that came into the world. Well at least at what Iris had said to him. As well as her pressing her head against his while trying not to poke or knock her horns into him. As his eyes flicked about for a second he spotted something. "Well anyway......again thanks. But lets get up and not just sit here for the rest of the day. I saw something over there I want to check out" he said and pointed out to the blanket that was out in the distance. As Kail was now curious and wanted to try and get this funk gone.

we must be K I L L E R S

CHILDREN OF THE WILD ONES

Iris arched her brow. I’m gonna take note here that you stopped it; not met. Just so you know. She made a sarcastic face, only mildly joking. He was the one who cared about that stuff; Iris couldn’t care less; she didn’t mix feelings with physical reactions. Never had. 

Happy to help; I’m tired of seeing you pouting over something. Its time you just enjoyed life! She fell back into the grass, raising her arms over her head in a stretch before standing up and following him to the blanket. Looks like Miss Teleport left us some interesting shit. She picked up the towels. Swimming in the river? She laughed, letting them drop back into the grass. She wouldn’t contest the idea, but highly doubted it would be in the nights agenda. She eyes the sparring swords, getting the feeling they would be the primary subject. 

WHERE DO WE HAVE LEFT TO R U N ?
