Surveying the Area (Roxanne, Invite)

[Deleted]

After awakening from the long slumber, Adrain had made his way to a point close enough to sense and get a feel for things around Morgg where a specific someone was resting, but far enough away his own presence shouldn't be detectable. He had flown around the area, looking for a suitable place to begin a scrying spell when he found the waterfalls near Morgg. There was a positive energy in the area and it would make it easier to both conceal and scan.

Adrain's hair was still short after having been cut off at Heaven's Pass, still wearing a sleeveless tunic and loose flowing pants with black boots beneath. Over both however would be a black, hooded cloak, the hood pulled up for traditional, mysterious strangerness.  He would be near the river leading to the mouth of the waterfall, but rather close to a certain bit of land. Looking ahead to Morgg, he would kneel down and a complex array of glyphs would appear beneath him, pulling mana together to allow his mind's eye to wander, seemingly looking around the area. While those far off on Morgg should not be able to sense him, those a bit closer...may.

[Roxanne]

"This really is a beautiful place. I did such a good job picking my location," the half demon murmured to herself, smiling. She was lounging in her hammock, watching the light of the sunset glimmer off the falls. Her long red hair was up in its usual high ponytail, secured with the magical hair clip that had been a gift from Aria.

As Roxanne watched the sky and the top of the falls, a figure came into view followed shortly by the tingle of magic in the air. The wind was all wrong for her to pick up a scent and being at the bottom of the falls didn't help either. She was curious what sort of magic someone would be doing this far out. Flipping out of the hammock, Roxanne ducked into her cabin. She was still dressed in her usual working clothes, so all she had to do was grab her leather satchel and stuff her feet back in her calf high boots.

Once back outside, Roxanne shifted into her half demon form; her wings appearing from her back, along with her tail and fangs. She got airborne easily enough and flew out a bit to circle back around so she could glide down quietly, landing several feet behind the unknown visitor. "Announce yourself," she demanded, her hands on her hips as her tail tapped impatiently against the grass.

"This has nothing to do with you." he says a bit roughly as a stone wall erupts between himself and the half demon. If she were to get close, the rock wall would fire off pebbles at her as a warning. Adrain was deeply concentrated in the spell and having to divert a part of his circuit to create a wall was slightly problematic as the scrying sparked a little. In this state of mind he didn't recognize Roxanne from their limited interactions on the Feyerlun world.

[Roxanne]

Roxanne jumped back a little as the stone wall appeared, hissing as the cloaked stranger insisted it wasn't her business. "You're in my territory doing Gods know what. Magic strong enough to make my hair stand on end. Who are you and what business do you have here?" she asked again, her tone agitated. She hadn't recognized Adrain's voice, as he spoke roughly, over the sound of the stone wall appearing. She inched closer to the wall and a spray of stones erupted in her direction. Her wings flew forward, blocking the worst of them, before she beat them hard against the air. She flew up a ways before landing again, this time in front of Adrain.

[Deleted]

"There is a big scary apocalypse coming and I am working on the way to stop it. Adrain snarls out as Roxanne jumped in front of him. With him still adapting to the magic of this world in this mindset, he loses a bit of control over the scrying spell and a bolt of mana flies at Roxanne, the magic making him not quite able to recognize the demoness.

[Roxanne]

As Adrain snarled at her about an apocalypse, his voice finally registered and she knew who he was, but not what he was talking about. The sudden realization threw her off and she didn't see where the bolt of mana came from. She thew herself to the side, hissing as the bolt grazed her tail. Thinking that Adrain threw it and still didn't recognize her, Roxanne decided to go on the defensive. She reached into her leather satchel for her smokescreen potion. Quickly, she uncorked the potion and tossed the pink bottle directly at the Mage. This close, it was bound to hit him. Then she did a double take. Pink potion!? Roxanne gasped. "Adrain, duck!" She tried to warn him before the love potion hit its mark.

[Deleted]

Trying to maintain the spell and regain control of it took all of his focus, the flying potion which seemed just slightly odd would smack him in the face, the pink liquid soaking over his face and hair and causing him to lose concentration, the spell fizzling. At first, he is angered, still not fully recognizing Roxanne despite her calling his name as he then reacted by lunging at her and trying to tackle her to pin her down...but as the spell started to take hold, he would look at her whether he was on her or not with a warm, silly smile almost.

"Now that I actually look at you, you're pretty cute.."

[Roxanne]

Roxanne closed her eyes as the potion hit Adrain full in the face. She took a deep breath and reminded herself thst it wasn't permanent. The potion would wear off over time and she could only hope Adrain wouldn't be mad at her when he came around.

With her eyes closed, Roxanne didn't see Adrain throw himself at her. The Mage hit her full on, knocking the wind out of her as the two of them hit the ground. The half demon saw stars for a brief moment before clearing them with a shake of her head. When she looked up, Adrain was sitting on her and looking at her with the oddest expression. The words that came with that surprised a short laugh out of her. "Is that so? I wish you'd noticed that before you attacked me," she said, giving him a wry smile.

[Deleted]

"What can I say, it's the dragon's blood that makes me a bit hot at times." he says as his body heat became notably increased from a magic, possibly a sarcastic response. He leans over and sniffs Roxanne's head and speaks next to her ear. "You smell a bit delectable...perhaps I should eat you.." the drunkened Adrain states near her ear.

[Roxanne]

Roxanne looked at Adrain, perplexed. "Dragon blood"? She asked, curious as to what he meant. She had noticed that he was rather warm, though. "It's kind of hard not to notice, since you're on top of me. I like playing with fire though," she said, smirking.

The half demon knew what the potion was for, in theory. But this was her first time seeing it in action. Roxanne tensed as Adrain leaned in until she realized he was sniffing her hair. His breath was warm against her neck as he whispered in her ear and she couldn't help the shiver it caused. The comment that followed didn't help, sending a spike of heat through her. Her lavender eyes flashed lightly.

"Adrain... you're bespelled. You don't really want me," she insisted, reluctantly. It was clear she was a bit torn. Afterall, none could deny that Adrain WAS attractive. And it had been quite some time, for her. But he was her friend. What if he got mad at her after the potion wore off? As always, there was a part of her that didn't quite care and it was a struggle to keep it tamed down.

[Deleted]

"I know you and I had a spotty friendship before but I thought you knew I was half dragon at the least." he says coyly as his eyes shifted to a serpentine for a second before turning to normal. "You like fire huh, well it could get a lot hotter very soon.." he says as a ring of fire manifests around the two, playing along with the theme. This was well under control.

As Roxanne made a protest, Adrain still firmly under the effect chuckled a little as he ran one finger down the side of her neck. "I'm always bespelled but especially now by your wild beauty."

[Roxanne]

A look of surprise settled on Roxanne's face as Adrain admitted to being half dragon. She watched as his eyes shifted and grinned despite herself. "We do have a spotty friendship and that's probably why I didn't know that. That's intriguing," she said, obviously impressed. He still hadn't moved from his spot on top of her, but she made no effort to move either. "How much hotter?" She asked coyly, watching as the ring of flames surrounded them. It was cliché, but she smiled anyway at the obvious pun.

Her protests fell on deaf ears as Adrain persisted, complimenting her. The demoness stilled as he ran his hand along her neck, still smiling faintly. "You're not so bad yourself, you know," she returned. She wasn't sure when the potion would where off but she wasn't exactly on for missing opportunities. Hesitantly, she raised her hand to thread it through his short silver locks, playing with his hair where it met his neck.

[Deleted]

"Apparently not hot enough if you haven't had to resort to stripping down to cool yourself." he says, obviously well under the effects of the potion. This incarnation of Adrain hadn't had the...mishaps of the one that was more well known here and so early on the resistance was all but nonexistent. As Roxanne complimented him and she weakly began to reciprocate the affections, he looks her in the eyes.

"Still so tense...what can I do for you to make things better?" he says with an infatuation for the demoness that seemed to compliement the lust with a concern for her well being. He ran his hands along her side and waited for a response.

[Roxanne]

Roxanne laughed again as Adrain pointed out that she was still dressed. "I'm used to the heat, the question is are you?" She taunted back and the flames in the ring blazed higher. "That cloak looks awfully warm for this weather," she said suggestively.

Adrain wasn't stupid, even drugged and he was right. She was tense, and as he ran his hands along her sides, decided she was tired of fighting herself. He did seem concerned, even if he was spelled into infatuation. Roxanne made her decision and it showed in the smirk on her face as she kicked off her boots. She pulled Adrain closer. "Whatever you want," she answered his question, her voice sultry.

[Deleted]

"Maybe a little.." Adrain says in his love drunk state as he flings the cloak off in one fell motion. It lands in the wall of fire and catches, quickly burning up. He exhales in the slightest of annoyance as the garment was ablaze but there were things that were far more interesting in front of him.

Roxanne pulled him closer and said in a sultry voice of whatever he wants. He smirks at that point and leans in to her neck, nipping at it while his hands continue to caress her sides.
