Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

Mai's last comment earned something of a chuckle from the Firelord as he sat opposite her. Well now, that's odd. I was actually thinking of doing something like that. It wasn't like his feelings for Mai were unknown to the Kingdom, and when it came down to it he was the Fire Lord. He could do whatever the hell he wanted. People didn't like it they could just try and stop him. He'd be waiting. A shrug then. Well, at least I know my uncle will support us. He's always been about 'following your true path', and stuff like that. Zuko didn't claim to understand Iroh half the time, but he knew that even if he had his own objections, his Uncle would support whatever decision he made, so long as it didn't threaten to destroy the world or something. Avatar Roku did a...less than admirable job, in his position as Avatar, the envoy pointed out. The war wasn't really related to that, but he was going to bring it up nonetheless. And I would not be here if the Fire Lord weren't amicable to the idea, he added, in a slightly condescending tone that said that it should have been obvious if one gave it a modicum of thought. There was a smirk of amusement as well. 'Your belief that what you have to say will make any difference in the colonies is intriguing. However, I believe we can agree to your request. And you need not worry about your daughter. We have no desire to harm someone who will soon be in a high position of authority.

His response told her that he's at least favorable to the idea. She knows very well that her father would back up the marriage, he would do anything to keep Mai and by extension himself in good graces with the royal powers. Could sneak a fire sage into the palace and skip all of the crowds. She moved so that she could sit beside him and rub his shoulders, once again enjoying the thought of defying authority. Just to add some spice to their touching, she leaned down to kiss the joint of his neck and shoulder. She wouldn't let Zuko just be walked over by the nobles. The fire lord taking a bride under the cover of night had been done before. Matter of fact, that's how several of Zuko's ancestors had taken a fire lady, some of which had not been from the noble families. Hakoda bit back another huff. He had heard rumors and stories about Roku's life and times, and most importantly about how his life had ended. At this point, he's quite ready to have this envoy out of his home, regardless of what tradition dictates. There is a line for being insulted in one's own home. We have a saying that the first wave of fire nation soldiers learned long ago when the first ships made it through the ice. Do not under estimate what's beneath the ice, because it will turn on you faster then your heart can beat. He would dearly love to slug this man in the face. Katara, go and start packing. I will tell your brother to prepare when he gets from the hunting trip. Katara nodded and rose without a word, not acknowledging the envoy as she left for the sleeping room of the igloo. Hakoda sat in silence after that, trusting that the envoy had an adequately stocked ship to at least make it to better, less ice clogged waters.

ZUko smiled, if just a little, as Mai sat down beside him. I think I may know just the person for that, he replied to her comment about the fire sage, not lying in that case. After all, not all the fire sages had been loyal to only Ozai, and he knew a few of those who still remained. One of them would probably help out. Not that he particularly cared about the history of the act though, but he was going to do what he wanted, regardless of those in authority, since he believed he was right in this regard. With Mai beside him, he returned the favor to her, shifting slightly to kiss her forehead, and otherwise leaning comfortably against her, enjoying her presence as she so enjoyed his. Their's wasn't a very physical relationship, much less one that was overly romantic, but they both preferred it that way, acting as support for each other and moving at their own pace. The envoy was not intimidated by the Hakoda's words. Why should he? After all, he was from the great Fire Nation, which had nearly won the war and conquered the war, while the Southern Water Tribe had been reduced to a handful of souls living in tiny igloos, prey to any raider that came across. If they chose to forget that fact, then so be it. It would be their loss. I will take my leave then. My ship departs tomorrow morning. I expect your daughter and her escort to be there promptly. The Fire Lord will not bode delays, the envoy announced, before rising and taking his leave of the igloo, returning to his vessel where he and the rest of the Fire Nation troops would spend the night, preparing a report for Zuko, and other interested parties, and otherwise waiting for the arrival of tomorrow to set out.

Good. You should speak to him right away. She started to knead at the muscles of his neck and shoulders, using techniques she had learned from Ty Lee. The few times Mai had allowed Ty lee to work on her like this had worked magic to help out with releasing tension from her muscles. And just as their weapon masters had promised, the lack of tension in their body helped with their combat readiness. However, she's hoping at the moment that the massage will work in another way as well. Gentle touch from a romantic other had been well proven to help with bonding. She adds a few more tender strokes as well, an even rarer show of affection. Katara went and laid down on her bedroll. She had just been home for a couple months, and already the fire nation is trying to take her away again. Wasn't it enough that they had taken her mother and caused such devastation to her people? And then there was Zuko. Why wasn't he putting a stop to it? There's no way that he's on board with such a ridiculous idea. He knows that she and Aang are couple, just like he and Mai are together.
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

I will. After I leave, Zuko confirmed, pretty resolute in his desire to actually do so, and not just saying what she wanted to hear. But at the moment he was here, and the Fire Priest wasn't, so that would have to wait. He let out a few grunts as Mai began to work at his shoulders and neck, a bit surprised, but not overly so, since Mai always was a bag of tricks. But she was doing a good job of it at the moment, and he could start to feel the stiff tension begin to bleed away. Well, this is a surprise, Zuko commented as he leaned back a bit, closing his eyes. I take it I have Ty Lee to thank for this? Not necessarily the idea in and of itself, but rather the fact that Mai knew how to do it. It was what he would have expected anyway. The time would pass by relatively quickly, or like an eternity, in the village of the Water Tribe, until at last the morning light dawned and the area began to spring to life, specifically aboard the Fire Nation ship, where they went about clearing away ice and snow that had accumulated over the night, shooing away pesky animals that had tried to take up residence, and preparing to set sail for warmer environs much to their satisfaction, as soon as they were told to leave. Meanwhile, the envoy that had previously met with Hakoda took up a position on the bridge, waiting for the water benders to arrive so they could get going. He didn't exactly like having to wait for them to show up, but he had little choice in the matter, so he put up with it. Hopefully they wouldn't take too long.

I'll hold you to that, Mai hums as she continues her work, rewarded by the visible relaxation in his shoulder and neck muscles. Even more when he leans into her probing hands. Ty Lee was sometimes better then the royal masseuse. Better understanding of the human body. She found a knot on the center of his shoulder and back, before pressing on it in a center way to let make it release. That should feel much better. You know, I could have better access without so much barriers in the way and if you laid down, Mai suggests, voice hinting at a tease. Hakoda had of course chosen Sokka to accompany Katara, several of the warriors that had made up his war party, and a handful of the returned waterbenders who had volunteered to keep an eye on the fire nation. Before leaving their igloo, he had wrapped both his children in a big hug, before they joined in a family hug. Somberly they proceed for the bridge.
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

Ah, Zuko replied, nodding in understanding, and he couldn't contradict her. Ty Lee could be scary sometimes, both in her attitude, and in her fighting style, which focused on hitting a bodies chakra points to render them immobile and helpless. It would stand to reason then that her knowledge of these sorts of things was pretty spot o. He let out a grunt as she worked the knot on his back, wincing slightly as the pain released, allowing a calm flow of energy once again. Eyes flickered open at her next comment, and he looked about before looking at Mai. There aren't exactly many places to lay down here, he pointed out. It was a dining room after all, and he had a feeling that the low table wouldn't appreciate it very much if it were used. To the bridge the guests came, passing by Fire Nation soldiers, some of whom were busy doing work, and others who were there to make sure they didn't go where they weren't supposed to. Not that sabotage was expected, but precautions had to be taken just in case. It was the way things worked on a governmentmilitary vessel, and one just had to accept it. The envoy they had spoken to yesterday was waiting on the bridge as they arrived through the metal corridors. Ah, good, you're here, he commented as he turned to face them. I believe we can set off then, unless there is some pressing matter that cannot wait. He looked to them to see if that was the case, though he doubted it would be.

Good point. I say we move to some place a bit more comfortable, she suggests casually. A less formal room would do, such as the living quarters that has a nice, long and deep cushy couch from to stretch out on. The living room. You can stretch out there and let me finish working on you. She gave a tug on the arm of his robe. She lifted her hands before rising, suggesting that he follow. The waterbenders took notice of the guards as well. Where they are, how many, weak points in the ship, etc, etc. Sokka speaks when the envoy addresses them. We'll want to veer slightly from true north. Our scouts over night have report major ice fields that it would be better to avoid rather then plow straight through. Sokka, like Katara, wants to get this over and done with and return home.
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

That sounded just fine to Zuko, so he nodded in approval. That sounds fine, he replied, accepting the tug she gave him and rising from his seat as she did. He let her walk and lead the way, though he had a fair idea where the rooms where himself. But this was her house, so he was content to let Mai lead to wherever she had in mind for continuing with this stress relief. Alright, the envoy nodded as Sokka gave them directions that would ease the rate of travel. He then turned to the Captain and nodded. It was time to go. So, orders were barked, the fire in the belly of the ship stoked, and the iron vessel pulled away from the docks, headed north and towards the territory of the Fire Nation, away from the polar cold, the start of a somewhat long journey that would bring Katara and Sokka to the Fire Nation, but as guests this time, and not invadersliberators.

Mai led him a bit deeper into the house before pulling open another screen door. Just as tastefully decorated as the dining room, but a bit more functional for every day use. Lay down on the sofa and make yourself comfortable, she tells him as she moves to start a small fire in the grate. She could have him do it obviously, but she prefers to keep her skills sharp by doing it herself. It doesn't take much to get a small fire going before returning to the couch. She's quite looking forward to getting her hands better on Zuko's gorgeous body, the fire warmed skin that gives his frame definition. After they get under way safely, Katara retreated back to her cabin, not feeling to sociable. Sokka on the either hand is taking the opportunity to investigate the more modern ship. Definitely a couple steps above the ship they had used after Aang had been struck at Ba Sing Se by Azula, and leagues away from the ship still stuck in the ice in the southern pole ice. He frequently asks the crew questions, annoying them as he goes.

Zuko continued to follow along as they moved through the halls, and eventually to a screen door that Mai pulled open for the two of them so he could step through into the tastefully decorated living room. Alright, he replied with a nod, shrugging his royal upper garments off before laying down on the couch as she suggested to him. He didn't feel uncomfortable with it, since it would make it easier for Mai to work. Head tilted to the side, he watched as Mai lit a fire in the grate, admiring her individualism and self reliance, even if that was only a small display of it when all things were considered. It was one of those things attractive about her, and he waited for her to resume with the promised massage as he rested upon the couch.

She moved away for a second, getting a cushion for herself so that she'll be comfortable. Once she settled in again, she put her hands onto his back again, search out more knots and tense spots. Here and there she adds pressure from her elbow, which works great to break the really tricky areas in his muscles. She works her way down to where his spine meets his pelvis before reclining again. How are you feeling now Zuko?
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

Zuko waited, letting his mind drift in some attempt at calm meditation as Mai made herself comfortable first and then got to work as she wanted, starting at the top and moving down, It was a good thing she knew what she was doing, since as the Fire Lord he'd certainly been building up a lot of stress, and it showed, in his chakra points and elsewhere. He let out the occasional grunt at a particularly painful spot, but otherwise tried to stay silent, just breathing deeply and letting her do her work. Better, he admitted succinctly as he laid there uner her tender care.
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

She leaned forward again and lightly started to run her fingers down from his shoulders down his back. Mai gave him a kiss to the top of his head while she keeps up her rubbing. He looks so much better with a greater amount of stress gone. Mai gave his shoulder a poke with her free hand. Roll over. Easier to give you some affection when you're facing the right direction, she says with a light smile on her face.
Thread: Fire and Rain [Azecreth & rosita red]

Zuko began to get the notion that the massage might be over as Mai worked away the stress, and at the same time laid a kiss on the top of his head, one that brought a slight rise to the corners of his mouths. Feeling a poke to his shoulder, he glanced back and nodded. Alright. Thanks, he added as he shifted, over to rest on his back, looking up at Mai and wearing the warm expression he saved for her. I feel better already.

Belle sat upon one of the cushioned seats by the frosted window. She drifted off in her thoughts, bringing her back home in her own ornate bed chambers. Belle had been the youngest of 5 children and the only girl, she had accepted her future as a bartering piece, but her currant fate she had thought was beyond her weasel father. She remembered the day, as he abruptly entered her chambers sending her ladies in waiting into a flurry. The war is over, you are saving this county. Belle tilted her head in confusion. Pack your bags daughter, you have a husband to meet with. The horror dawned on her as he distant father closed the door behind him. SHe was met with swoons of pity by the lady's that surrounded her. And here she sat alone in a castle that seemed to be older then her own country it self, with no one but stranger servants to keep her company. Belle had lighter hair the many of the countrymen she had seen in the castle, it was a streaked with colors of honey and amber. Her large eyes were a clear color of green and her full pouting lips a deep shade of rose. She had the body that men dream about in the middle of the night. Her body was a landscape of hills and valleys peaking over large round breasts and a firm and curved bottom. She was used to having eyes on her. When the light knock came to her she jumped. Instantly her heart rate accelerated, she was inconstant fear that the beast from legend, a monster to burst into her room. But behind the heavy dark wooden door was a pleasing looking serving girl, probably 2 or 3 years her younger. Though the girl was pleasant enough, Belle treated her with a cold demeanor as if this poor girl was to blame for her situation. She took the bundle with a scoff and turned to change with out a word. As she unwrapped the bundle her full lips fell apart. He wants to me to wear THIS to the throne room? as she pulled out very small pieces of lace and embroidery. It was a golden color with red rose letts embroidered to emphasize her breast and womanhood. She contemplated not wearing it at all, but her disobedience was snubbed by her fear of what awaited her, as she had never seen this warrior king before. She slipped into the delicate clothing and couldn't help but look at her self in the large mirror as it did flatter her full young and supple frame. Even with the nicely kept fire it she was glad for the furs the accompanied the outfit. She drapped it upon her shoulder and settled it closed in the front so no skin was seen except for the top of her thigh when she took a step. She met the servant girl in the gothic arched hall way, well lets get this joy over. She said drily to the youth. And followed her through a maze of halls until the reached the double doors that would open to the throne room. Belle tried to put a strong face but she was terrified at what awaited her on the other side of the door. She feared her almost nakedness, she feared his beastly intentions. She hid her shaking hands inside the thick cloak of fur and swallowed as the doors began to swing open.

The maid was like many from these lands. Despite the chill and frost outside she had a tanned completion and a slight handful of freckles on her face that accentuated her blonde hair and green eyes. Ill lead you there now. She gave a curtsy with the motion seemingly having been practiced hundreds of times over on her part by now. With a few lights flickering in the warm hallway she would tak the lead as her shoes tapped faintly against the stonework of the floor. Before long, the corridor would twist and lead to a much grander but shorter hall that had the hanging portraits of past kings and queens, though the one that should have been most recent before the current king seemed conspicuously absent amongst the decorations. The maid would open the ornate cherrywood door as it swung outward, revealing the throne room itself! A fireplace was sequestered off to one side, the rest of the room otherwise beautifully but simply designed with a window overlooking the courtyard and valley below, a table full of what looked like fresh fruits of all types and of course the thrones for a king and queen. Standing next to the table were a pair of men, one of them armored in chain and leather, his brown hair tied behind his back and the other wearing simple garments of black, the ebon colored long sleeved shirt looking less lavish than it should be for a king. Once the door swung open, the armored man gave a nod and soon left. And with the servant gone it would just leave the princess and king. black haired, tanned and athletically built he tuned to her and gave a smile. Lady Belle, its good to see you. I am Leon, king of these lands. Please come in, have a seat. The fruit is for us both. My apologies for not having met with you earlier but I was... distracted with returning my soldiers to our homeland and ending the war as I promised your father. I hope at least the castle has been accommodating? His accent was not particularly heavy but it was there, a firm and confident voice as he began to approach. Standing a few inches taller than her even in her heels, he could have easily been quite an intimidating sight on a battlefield... But certainly no wolf.
Thread: A beauty and her beast (Changingsaint and AmyBeth)

As the doors opened to reveal two men Belle scanned the throne room three times over before reassuring her self that there was no monstrous beast man here. One of the man was of such a size but he sported the face and frame of a man, just a intimidatingly large man. She did release the smallest sigh of relief in not having to face a beast. She followed the armored man out with her eyes but they quickly darted back to the man that toward over her and her 4 inch heeled shoes she had been left to wear. As the man introduced himself, he as not at all what she expected, large yes. Intimidating, yes. and looking as if he could lead a powerful army yes. But a beast? Perhaps the peasants and villagers had run alittle wild with their tails of the warrior king swallowing armies whole. She found the slight thickening of his words we pleasant on the ear. But as he began to step towards her she instinctively took a step back, as a deer would do faced in the wood. But have no mistake she is no skittish doe, but defiantly prey. She would not remain fully silent, she did not want to come across as frightened even if she was. Well, it's certainly a change from what I am used to. She had noted that the throne room was more elegantly fashioned then her comfortable chambers. The conversation with Leon was strange to her. Out of everything she thought was going to happen, small talk and fruit was not in any of her imagined scenarios. And though he seemed rather well-tempered at the moment she had heard the stories of his temper and his dangerous nature. She also need not forget that he had ordered her to present herself in the delicate clothing that is meant to remain bellow clothing or in the bedchambers. There were not many reasons why that would be necessary. You know? I don't think I am hungry. She said nodding to the fruit. Belle was used to getting her way, and was used to being relatively unchallenged even by her father. The first time he had said no to her was when she had begged him to rescind his offer. But this small statement of small defiance was all she had to play with at them moment. She pulled the clock tighter around her bare skin hiding as much as possible from his sight. She was not Naive in the sense that she was well understood that her value was as a possession and her clocked state was not likely a permanent one.
