Thread: The Beast Within (Lano and Retro)

When did the sensual tigress grow so sweet? He had seen how she seemed to act to all others around her. Did she actually fine something she liked in him? Was there a chance that she appreciated his intelligence, his gentleness? Or maybe his ability to have great power and control it. He flipped his cloak wide onto the floor, motioned for her to share it and offered her a glass of the wine. Whether you consider me the best suitor or not, I appreciate such a gentle reply. I will be as attentive in my pursuit of you...though I hope you don't run too far too fast...as I will try to be patient in my teaching of you. He lifted a hand from her lap without asking permission. Yet he didn't affront her, as it seemed a totally natural thing to do. While he was thrilled to be touching her at all, this was his work. He very carefully inspected her, even pulling a microglass from his pocket. As he inspected, the professor in him bubbled forth. Losing control...should we not say rather 'loosing control'? If one trains a horse, one gradually increases the lead, so it becomes used to commands at a distance. Even the falconers do the same. Yet we, the humans who rule all, somehow believe that we can force our own 'wills' against what we truly want. So many miserable people. Doing what they hate, because someone told them in was what they ought to be doing. I am rather the social coward. I mislike conflict. Yet I stood up to my father when given the chance to pursue that which called to be and made me yearn for it...to do things with my mind and will that others could not. Just what are you afraid of? That if you let these wild feelings you attempt to hide and it isn't really working, you know, from others...to let them go? Dear lady, this is not so much cutting a new waterway, as it is allowing the dammed up water out to prevent the breaking of the walls. He waved and the door shut and locked. Now, there are no witnesses, and no windows to worry about. You are safe from public regard. If you chose to relax that control you are so proud of, you maybe safely allow that other core to show itself...yes, it can be resubmerged, that is only an act of will. The question to be posed, Morgause is this Will you really want to submerge it again? And why should you? For other's regard? To make your parents happy? Or because you have an odd fear of losing yourself to what you are. I assure you. You will still be Morgause. Perhaps with a bit of a different perspective. But you will be yourself. So if you open up, you will be safe. And so will I. I can see that you don't bear me ill will, and that matters the most in such things. This is not some slavering beast that yearns to break forth...and the magical abilities to have clamped so well will not go melting flesh from cute puppies...it is the opportunity to go beyond what others can do...for you are different, yes. And it is a wonderful difference that calls to me to admire...and to be comfortably close to, even if you should not desire me. The only real question here is...will you try? I will assist if you ask, but you must ask. Having said his piece, he released her hand. He could feel latent powers warring within her. What she could be, he didn't know...if she open up her spell abilities, she might never choose to reveal her other form...and vice versa. It was still all up to her.
