Thread: Allure of the Neophyte ::-Haru/whizz-::

Sweet Cosette's face filled with colour to his kindness once more, and there was little doubt that the wine within her belly was loosening her inhibitions and bringing her to a point of almost total relaxation. This wasn't to say that she was acting in a stupid or childish manner, but she didn't feel the need to be as reserved as she appeared upon her first coming -- and her true personality seemed more willing to shine. Oh! Um... oh, perhaps just a little bit, yes? I'm sure I could fit that in, she answered, a giggle leaving her mouth as the last of her glass was drained and set carefully to the side of her plate. As much as she tried, the poor girl could only eat about half of what Ryuu had offered, and her exhaustion and somewhat intoxicated state made her far sleepier than she dare admit. She was tipsy, but not inebriated, meaning that she was able to walk with only mild assistance to her room and was helped upon the bed. Had her master thought to leave her to her own devices, there was little doubt that poor Cosette would have passed out in her uniform, but Ryuu seemed determined to ensure she slept comfortably and deeply for her first night. You don't have too -- Came the girl's mild protest, but there was little more she could do to stop him as the uniform was loosened, and warm fingers passed over soft skin to slide it from her form. Cosette's body was lithe -- a palette of pale peach and cream where youthfulness endowed her with soft, supple curves and the daintiness of a lady. As he worked, the young witch shivered under his touch the gentleness causing goosebumps to rise upon he skin and a content sigh to leave her mouth. She barely even seemed to notice the fact that he was bringing her to nakedness, though she rationalized his intentions to be pure. He didn't grope or force himself upon her and, soon enough, the nightgown was eased over her head and her body slid between clean sheets. She nestled deep within their warmth, and her eyes peered up to Ryuu -- half lidded and serene. Two kisses were placed upon either cheek, and then one on her mouth. There was a sort of slow suprise to the affection, though it appeared as if though Cosette did not deny it. Perhaps it was an elven thing? She resolved to ask him in the morning, as she could barely keep her eyes open as it was. Goodnight, she called quietly, soon adrift in the land of dreams and make believe. The morning light drifted in soft beams over her bed, though it had not been enough to wake her until Ryuu entered. A gentle shake brought her to life, and a sleepy sort of moan left her mouth as her eyes broke open, and her body began to stretch like a cat. Breakfast? Oh, morning! Mm. I won't be long. Once he left, Cosette was able to work on pulling herself from bed. She pulled the blankets back and swung her legs over the side, sleepily pushing herself onto two legs and making the bed back up with her hands. A small amount of water was drawn to the washbasin, splashed upon her face, and she patted herself dry before moving to find her uniform. She wasn't hungover, thank goodness, though the events of the night drifted slowly back to her, and she swore she could feel her skin burning thinking about how he had kissed her -- and the gentleness of his hands upon her skin. Pushing it to the side as she dressed, Cosette pulled her dark hair up into a high ponytail and made sure she was neat before moving out to meet him. A smile and another greeting was offered as she entered the kitchen, and chocolate-colored eyes moved to the ingredients upon the table. I can cook a little bit, the woman answered, giving a shy sort of nod. I can make bacon and eggs... pancakes, if Etrudis had the supplies. I doubt muesli and berries count, but I can put that together, too. Easing herself to his side, the woman placed her dainty fingers upon the kitchen counter. Will this be with magic or by hand?
