Time: daytime
Location: AmKelosh, the library

Synderix Synderix's mood doesn't usually rapidly flucate like it has been doing lately.. Her slender visage was stretched out along the library's couch, but it didn't take up the room of the full couch.. One leg drifted down, hanging over the side as the other remained upon the couch itself.. Limbs rested upon her stomach regions as digits idly 'petted' the baren flesh that was revealed to them there.. Her eyelids were closed lightly over her orbs, denying her the pleasure of seeing the sight before her as few strands slipped annoyingly in her face.. She seemed quite content, almost like a cat sun bathing as the sun rolled through the window hitting directly upon her..

Master Kayos steps into the library from the door that leads to his throne room. He looks over to the couch and frowns a bit in surprise. He hadn't expected to see her still sitting there. Burrdens of leadership and hassles of responsibility have changed his mood since what it was last time he saw her. He's no longer is such a good, laughing mood. He's more ready to flay anyone that gives him reason to. He walks over to where Synderix is and towers abover her. He just watches her, not saying anything. All sorts of thoughts roam through his head, but he doesn't try to focus on any certain one. Though he's looking at Synderix, his look is also a little far off, on other things. Maybe those things pertain to Syn, maybe they don't.

Synderix A groan began to emit from her as she felt her sunlight cut off.. She figured clouds moved infront of the sun, not even noticing that Kayos was looming over her until a few minutes later.. Her eyelids roll up, she was going to get up to find another sun spot though shock fell upon her to see Kayos standing there instead of the clouds over the sun.. " Hello.. " She didn't know why he was giving her that look.. Did she do something wrong -again-? She couldn't think of anything she did that would piss him off since the last time she spoke to him..

Master Kayos is known to become enraged at any little thing for no reason at any given time. He hasn't been as bad about that sort of thing since the Silencing Disease almost killed everyone he cares about though. That epidimic made him relook at the way he treats others and sees life. Those thoughts are not with him now though. His mind snaps back to the present him and reality and his brown eyes focus on Synderix. He quirks an eyebrow in question at the tone in her voice. Was she worried about something? Should she be? Should he wonder what that is? His mind wanders away quickly from those thoughts however as a completely different topic comes to mind. His mood seems to lighten. "I gave you a whole palace. I had to take one away from a Warlord to do that, yet you never stay there. You stay here?"

Synderix Confusion swept across her features as she began to pull herself from the comfortable position she once indulged herself in.. " I travel back and forth.. I tend to wander.. Sorry.. I don't like always being there.. I'll go back if you want and never step foot into this part again.. Is that what you want? " She didn't like Kayos' mood swings, he was worse than a pregnant woman.. She would pull herself into a stance, though it probably would set off Kayos so she decided to just wait within the sit she took..

Master Kayos looks a little shocked and hurt by her comment. He wasn't trying to run her off, he just wanted to know why she prefered it here. It doesn't bother him she is. Saves him from going over to her palace. He was really expecting her to say she comes here for him, that's what he was fishing for on some level. But in other ways he didnt' realize he was fishing for it at all. He got a lot of his anger toward her out recently and he's been seeing her differently. And that will last until Dacklyn has a word or two with him about it and Kayos knows this. It's hard not to defend your friend when you've been friends for so long and he's your only one. "No, that would not please me."

Synderix She knew something was going on behind the scenes that she was unaware of.. Each time Kayos left her and came back she had to break through that barrier once more.. She was getting tired of as she continued to stare directly up at him.. " Sometimes you show that it would.. " She didn't really feel like opening up to him instantly like she usually does.. He never does.. Why should she? She was hanging herself on the line for nothing but heartbreak.. She didn't know why she even bothered.. She couldn't stand sometimes these emotions.. In some days she wished to grow cold and hollow like she used to be..

Master Kayos can feel himself starting to become frustrated with her. That's not uncommon however. He lets out a little growl sound. He thinks about things quickly in his mind. All she's done, all they've done, all that's been said or unsaid. He could be all rude and insist she leave. He's done so before and sometimes it takes her months to come back. The war is about to start and they don't really need that happening. "That's just becuase you're oversensitive and take things wrong." Oops, wasn't he thinking he should be nice? Darn.

Synderix A growl of her own quickly formed as she quickly stood to full stature infront of him.. " Least I don't do an emotional roller coaster.. " She couldn't believe she said that.. But, he did have it coming to her as digits quickly curled into the palm of the hand, forming a fist as she tried to relieve the anger that was quiclky building up.. Kayos still loomed over her figure quite dominatly, but she still held her ground as her head was almost fully back just to glare him in the eyes..

Nick Corwin had come to the library for another book. He was holding the one he brought back. He had been standing there long enough to hear the last two exchanges between Kayos and Synderix. He sighs now with a disgusted sound and shakes his head in pity. Nick was raised in the palace and Kayos is like a father figure to him, but recently Kayos has been pissing him off by not letting him have his freedom. He's bored, very, very bored. He has no problems with Synderix and she's okay in his book becuase she didn't rat him out when she could, and she didn't molest him when she could have. Nick sometimes forgets these people are not other people, but are considered gods. They'll always be other peole to him, just really powerful ones. "Man, you two are pathetic. Can you hear yourselves? The rest of the palace can. Haven't you worked out the sexual tension yet? I mean jeez, get over yourselves, everyone else knows you two are crazy for each other. Just get over it and do what needs to be done." Nick gives his head another shake and rolls his eyes. Before he can be reprimended he drops the book he was carying on a table and turns around, walking out of the library. An Amazon that followed him in stands there with a look of shock and a hand over her mouth in surprise. She follows Nick out, not wishing to be there for Kayos' reaction.

Master Kayos was about to yell something back at Synderix when he is interupted. That's very rude and very dangerous. He quirks both his eyebrows at Nick, his 'you dare?' look. Nick either didn't notice or didn't heed the warning glance however. Kayos' eyes narrow as if in anger. That boy is getting harder and harder to control. He's got too much of his father in him. He looks back at Syn and can't help but think Nick is a little right. He'd have thought things would be better after the sex too. "Everyone's talking about us?" his tone is complete question, wondering if she's heard any rumors.

Synderix The glare was wiped off her features and so was the anger as she heard Nick, her mandible literally dropped at his words.. Shock still rang heavily over her even after Nick left.. Espically hearing Kayos' next set of words.. She was surprised he wasn't beginning to yell at her once again as she spoke, almost hestiantly.. " Umm.. Not that I know.." She paused, she was struggling with her words still as she tried to wipe the look of shock off her face with no prevail

Master Kayos thinks of changing back into Rafe and asking around to see what people are saying. He's very curious. He wonders if it's just the people in AmKelosh or of people in other areas of the Kelosh empire or saying things as well. The opinion of his people will affect his own. Becuase of the curse he has to do whatever is best for them over himself and that includes anything that makes them happy. Or not doing anything that makes them unhappy. He turns around and plops down on the couch all in the same move. He looks up at Synderix and pats the spot on the couch next to himself. He then moves that hand that patted the couch to stretch out the length of the couch on the back of it. He leans back and looks relaxed. It's always hard for him to unwind after work. And work isn't done for the day yet.

Synderix Usually she would fall 'pon his lap instead of the couch at a offer like that, though this time she didn't as her weight shifted sitting herself back down beside him, though not even an inch of room was left between the two..She was trying to figure everything out as she shifted her head, looking up at him as her limbs came to rest upon her lap once more.. " What do you think they say about us ? "

Master Kayos drops his arm that was behind the couch to wrap around her. He's not looking at her though, his gaze is forward and his eyes have that far off look in them. He's thinking on things. If she premits he'll wrap his arm around her and cause her to lean into himself. He's not really thinking about what he's doing, but it seems the right thing to do right now. He sighs, though he doesn't breath. It's a mimicry of it to show his emotion. "I honestly don't know. But I think we should find out." He pauses and seems to think about something else as well. "We should probably also find out what the other High Powers say about Us."

Synderix The tension that once filled her form unraveled with his touch.. It seemed to usually do this.. She liked moments like this.. Where he wasn't uptight.. Nick seemed to do a reality slap to both of them and she probably owes him for that.. For he's making her really realize a lot of things.. She shifts, leaning her body into his as legs come curling up and beneath her comfortably.. Her her head rests upon his chest as the limb closest to him manages to slip behind him, traveling along his lower back and digits coming ot the other side to lightly 'massage' as the other limb comes forward, resting the hand upon his lap.. " How will we do that.. ? "

Master Kayos likes the feel of her cuddles up agianst him. In many ways she is his equal. From a magical stand point they're ideal for each other, and if Dacklyn had never been in the picture things would probably be a lot different now. Or if Kayos had just let Dacklyn die things would be different now. He is a factor weather they want him to be or not. He has to work out his issues for Kayos to ever be happy with Syndeirx. Dacklyn having issues with Syn, causes some for Kayos out of loyalty and friendship. "I don't know." He pauses to think about it. "I can send people to go ask question and see what the opinion of the people is. I could disguise myself and go see for myself what their opinion is. And you have people that could watch from the shadows and get an idea on the people's opinion."

Synderix Her view drops from watching his face down to her hand as it slides across his lap.. The digits softly curl around his hand and pulling it onto his lap so her arm wont be outreached and uncomfortable.. Her grip tightens a little bit, but not an uncomfortable tightening, more of one that she's there.. She looks back up towards him as she speaks.. " Yeah... We can do that... " Her eyelids came to a close over her orbs for now as she just pays attention to his voice..

Master Kayos makes a little frustrated sound as his thoughts are all colliding and messed up in his chaotic mind. He convinced himself a long time ago he can not presue his own desires. Isn't that what he's trying to do now? "Is there even a point?" His tone does not sound angry, more frustrated mixed with longing. Synderix is marked, so she can't betray him or the empire. Unless she found a way around the mark? Mekehlee once said she tried and failed. He's not sure she really tried. "I mean what are we hoping will happen here? Where does this lead?" He looks down at her, his eyes would lock with hers if she looks up at him. He's not trying to be angry or annoying, but he wants to make sure he won't try something in vain.

Synderix The eyelids rose from where they once were in slumber as she heard th first of his words flicker within her ears.. She looked up to him, studying him with each word that his mouth formed.. She took a few minutes before responding, finding herself in confusion just as he was.. " Nick is basically right.. " She paused, she didn't mean to say that, it was a thought that entered her mind.. " Where do you hope that happens here and where do you want this to lead? "

Master Kayos gives a bit of a shrug. His expression and mannerism have almost turned sad and longing. It's like someone is teasing him with the faint idea of something he can not have. He tried once and he had to kill her. Technicaly that shouldn't happen here since Syn is already marked, but he's always so busy. And so lustful. Could he set time aside for one woman? "I honestly don't know. I never really think about those sorts of things. It never matters what I want." The more he thinks or talks aobut it, the sadder he becomes.

Synderix Her orbs squit just a little, not enough to really notice as she studies his features even harder.. " What do you want right now? " She said as digits curled tighter around his hand.. She was tired of being denied of what she wants the most.. Perhaps what happened to Dacklyn was meant to.. She couldn't tell.. She missed Malik and was devestated when he died.. She didn't think she could get close to another and here she is getting close to Kayos only to be denied over and over.. She couldn't take much more of it before she turns cold and hollow once again.. It was beginning to show in her eyes..

Master Kayos looks down at Synderix now, half out of the side of his face. His eyes narrow in thoughtfulness. She often seems to ask questions like that. Asking him if she's good enough for him and the like. But she doesn't ever offer the same information in return. She's the one that always brings it up, so you'd think if she wants to know so bad she'd offer a fair trade of like information. Though he does seem to remember telling her once if she found his heart it was more than just pysicaly. Mekehlee once hinted about a curse she put on it, or was it on him? Well either way, the woman that finds his heart wins it so to speak. It's another reason he doesn't want to get caught up in anything. He's afraid of it being taken away again. "Right now? I want this." He hugs her a little tigther to him.

Synderix A sigh slipped past her lips as she nuzzled her head further into his chest.. The words of Nick really got to her.. They kept repeating themselves over and over in her thoughts as her eyes slowly closed.. Beneath the tone of a whisper three words slipped past the barrier of her lips, only to fall upon the ears of Kayos.. " I love you.. " She said as the digits curled further around the hand they held onto..

Master Kayos does not know what to say to that. Has she said that before? He thinks she has over a year ago, but he didn't believe her then. In fact he got mad thinking she was playing him. He still doesn't believe she meant it then, but it's possible to mean it now. They've known each other for a year and a half. Mortals fall in love a lot quicker than that. They're immortal, so it's natural it'd take longer for them. He's not sure how he feels, he'll need to do a lot of thinking about it. There are so many factors that can stand in the way and he can't bring her hopes up only to find it's not possible. But then he doesn't want to brign his own hopes up either. Love is a great thing, but not something he thinks he can have, or deserves. "I can not love without a heart."

Synderix Her facial reactions did not alter, as her eyes continued to remain shut as she spoke.. " I'm not loveable.. " She truely did feel that way, she knew the difference between love and lust so greatly that she believes that only those after her are able to lust.. Not ever love her.. She shouldn't of said that.. If there was a rock around she would hit her head with it.. Though it wouldn't do any damage or anything..
