Nick Corwin is laying in his bed, where he has been most the day. His body heals very fast, and it tends to heal the outside of him first, so he never really looks as injured as he is. He's been sleeping it off, and he realizes now that maybe he shouldn't have tried to fight back, but he couldn't help it. His instints and reflexes kept kicking in. He sleeps with white fur above and below him, wearing only a pair of pajama pants made from cotton. His pillow cases are cotton, but the top of his beadspread is a dark, blue velvet. Even here there are Amazons, two of them. One sits in a large chair in the room, the other is standing near the window, staring out at the night. The Amazons seem to get a bit nervous, when Syn enters the room, but neither makes any move to sound an alarm. Nick is aleep, and makes no move at all, his long black hair is pulled into a braid and draps over his shoulder.
Synderix lifts a single limb upwards, digits coiling inwards as the shadows portray an illusion onto the amazons.. The illusion was of Syn merely telling Nick to get better soon then disappearing.. What would be left is Nick sleeping soundlessly.. Though beneath the well placed illusion the true events would unfold.. She had a great many of eons to perfect this trait, it would not go noticed.. Her body leant forward, lips brushing against his ear as a limb stretched out to place a hand onto the bed near him.. A whisper came from her lips along with a rush of warm air... "You don't play the part of Sleeping Beauty too well.."
Nick Corwin opens his eyes upon hearing a voice and looks at Synderix very oddly, having expected to see one of the Amazons, though the ones assigned to him have been afraid to speak to him while Kayos is mad at him. His eyes take a couple of seconds to focus, but he still looks oddly at Synderix. He glances over at the Amazons, but they have gone back to whatever they were doing. Looking at them makes him sigh, he knows they are most likely under order to make sure he doesn't leave, or commit any more acts of treason. He was just having some fun. At that thought he looks back at Synderix. "You're not going to kick my ass to are you?" His voice is tired and a bit weak.
Synderix lips come to part as a femine chuckle escapes them. Her body twisting back into shape for a brief moment until she comes to settle down onto the bed beside Nick.. The tip of her tongue comes to prod between the crimson tainted lips as she looks down at him shaking her head.. "No, I'm not.. Though you did raise some things that I wasn't looking at.. I've been too busy with other things to really look at the picture clearly.. " A limb slips out warily placing a hand onto his chest area.. " I apologize for your ass being kicked.. "
Nick Corwin is glad to hear that she isn't mad at him. He realizes he shouldn't have tried to start anything, but sometimes he just gets these mean little mischivous urges. It's not something he'll try again anytime soon. At least not until he's fully recovered. His eyes dart down toward her hand as she places it on him and then they quickly scan everything else to try and judge if she's here to try something. It's a habbit he's picked up becuase of the Amazons. They flirt with him a bit too much, he knows they don't really like him, they do it becuase Kayos told them to. "Well, I apologize for trying to start shit between you and Kayos. It wasn't my intention to see you mad." He thinks about weather or not he should finish his statment and then does so anyway. "I just wanted you to kick his ass."
Synderix 's lips continue to reveal a smile onto them as she leaves her hand onto his chest. Her weight shifting lightly as she gets a bit more comfortable sitting on the bed. "There is always difficulties between Kayos and I that never seem to end. " A small smirk dipped from her as she continued on. "You know.. Kicking his ass gets real tempting a lot of the time. Though, he'd probably just enjoy it. What Kayos needs is to be taught a lesson, that's how you really get to him. "
Nick Corwin doesn't run like Jules did, but he doesn't seem ready to take all Syn's clothes off either like Voric. Nick remains well posed, but then he normaly does even when he feels like he's lost all control of a situation. He's still tired and weak, which impairs his thoughts and ability to focus. "I really don't think it's my place to get into a conversation with you about your relastionship to Kayos." Nick shifts a little, but only get get more comfortable. He puts his right hand on top of the covers, touching the cool velvet to cool him down a bit. It gets hot under all that fur. His room tends to be kept cold becuase of that.
Synderix shakes her head lightly as she continues to look down onto Nick. "Not really wanting to engage in conversation about the allyship I hold with Kayos. Just came to check to see how you were doing. " She sounded frightfully sincere, though she did enjoy Nick's company for some odd reason. She couldn't place her finger on it. "Do you mind me hanging around or do you wish for me to depart ?" Her head lightly tilted towards the amazons that still went on with what they were doing previous to her entering. Then again, they thought of her disappearing and Nick merely sleeping soundlessly in bed.
Nick Corwin has already realized there is an illusion in place, but for some reason that doesn't make him feel threatened. If it was anyone other than Syn it most likely would. He still remember when he tried to leave the empire, Syn found him, but she didn't turn him into Kayos or tell anyone where he was. Then there was the time he got locked in the bath house with her and she didn't try to have her way with him. These things have gained her his trust. "I don't mind at all. Most people around here aren't that good of company." He smiles softly. He will continue to trust her until she gives him reason not to. "And I'm doing fine. He's done worse to me in the past for much lesser things."
Synderix 's gaze shifts back down onto Nick. Her arm continuing to be settled onto him as she shifts a bit in her seat. She still didn't like the idea of just sitting in a bed, it wasn't meant for that. "Truthfully, you're the only one I found for good company. Kayos has his moments, though they never last long and they are quite rare." The smile continues to blossom on her lips as her mind drifts for a brief moment else where. "I'm surprised he didn't do worse to you.. Then again I'm also surprised I didn't walk in on the amazons all over you on your fur and silk while your bedridden.."
Nick Corwin isn't so sure he's comfortable hearing about any of the faults Synderix might find in Kayos. That's not really any of his business. Nick himself finds it hard to find people to talk to, becuase most of them are scared of him. Even the Amazons grew up telling horror stories about him. He can imagine that Synderix experiances simular walls from people fearing her, though he bets they're more afraid of her than him. His gaze snaps back to the Amazons as she speaks as if worried they're about to attack him. He just assumes she knows Kayos has told them they can whenever they feel like it. "I don't wear silk anymore, it cuased static with the fur." He realizes what he said and winces, closing his eyes as a hot blush creeps across his face. He shouldn't be talking about his sleep ware with her.
Synderix within a interest peeked as she watched the blush grow. "Silk and fur are like night and day, you don't mix the two. You choose one or another. At least in bed. They can go great in decorating a room if they aren't touching. " She was attempting to grow more of a blush from him, though she didn't understand by merely talking about what he doesn't wear to bed anymore effects this from him. It's not like she's sitting there in the nude.. Though it would feel great on all the fur.. "It's great fur though.. So soft.."
Nick Corwin does not blush all that deeper from what she says next, though he does glance around as if he doesn't remember what he used to decorate. The only fur in the room is on his bed, and when it's made, only that under the pillows is seen. The pillows are all cotton or the same dark blue velvet the top of his bedspread is. There are many tech type things in his room, some for entertainment, others to help gain information. The two tall windows behind the bed are also drapped in velevet. His mind is distracted to other things when she mentions the fur. "Thanks. This one," He points to the bottom one. "was from a giant snow bear of Gwais."
Synderix 's body leans a bit forward as she slips the arm out, fingers sprawling out onto the fur beneath.. "It's very soft.. I can see why you use it.. It must keep you very warm.. " The other hand remained idly onto his chest, it appeared as if she forgot she rested it there. Temptation grew heavily onto her to curl up beneath the covers.. The flesh that was visible, which was quite a bit, bubbled with soft goosebumps as the wind began to send a chill down her spine..
Nick Corwin gives a little shrug, but doesn't really think much about what she's doing, convincing himself she's just admiring the fur. It helps that he's still a little out of it from whatever healing he's recieved. He killed the creatures himself. But then he also killed the dragon who once used the hide his favorite pair of boots are made of. "Well, it worked for the bear, I figured it'd work for me. His fault for trying to eat me." He grabs the edge of the blanket and folds it back a bit to show the other fur, which is a bit different. "This one Rager Beast from the Bravan system. He made an ill comment about my mother." Gives a little shrug, thinking the guy got what was coming to him. Nick doesn't care if it was an animal, or an sentinent creature, they're all the same to him.
Synderix 's fingers coil about the furs, admiring their touch as she shifts her gaze back onto Nick.. "They're all quite nice.. I can see why you sleep so peacefully.. "Her movements didn't show the same grace they usually did, tinged with a bit of stifness as the soarness continued to roam across her physique.. There were those days that her body could become tire, though the days of hacking and slashing did not help matters.
Nick Corwin is a very observant person, almost to a fault, but part of that is he's got perfect photographic memory. He compares to how she's moving now with how he's seen her move in the past and can tell the difference easier than most would. He suddenly wonders if her complents are really a way of her voicing how tired she is without really saying it. "Are you okay?" He realizes suddenly that he himself had slowly gotten more and more tense, as if waiting for her to do something he wouldn't like. He takes in a deep breath and lets it out again. "It's easy to sleep peacefully when I've just gotten into a fight with a High Power." He grins, having meant that mostly as a joke. Kayos' punishments stopped bothering him a long time ago, that's why they're no longer effective.
Synderix shifts a bit as she looks towards him, attempting her best to conceal the pain that rackets within as she puls herself back into a straightened posture.. "I'm just extremely soar.. " As her eyes come to gaze down below they land onto her arm that still rests on Nick.. Quickly does it remove itself, snaking back onto her lap.. The last thing she wanted to do was offend someone that has been so.. nice.. in a way to her.. Chuckles softly as she shakes her head.. " Oh, I bet.. Espically if it's an eternal sleep.."
Nick Corwin watches her closely as she shifts and frowns a bit, not really knowing what he could do. He's not very good at comforting anyone or anything, but then what would you expect from a man who was raised by Kayos? He turns to his side, rolling to face her, but moving away at the same time. "I'll share, as long as you promise not to bite." He chuckles lightly, meaning this too as a joke. He hadn't even really noticed her hand, had forgotten it was there until she removed it from him. He doesn't really mean that she should sleep, maybe even not crawl unde the covers. He's just making plenty of room on his double bed for her to get comfortable if she wishes. sitting on the edge of a bed doesn't tend to be that comfortable.
Synderix 's smile slowly fades only for the grin to once more be ressurected. "That's a hard promise for me to keep now.. " Her own response was a bit joking, though it was slightly true in the twisted sense.. Her weight shifted lightly, but before she would lay down she spoke.. "You sure you want to lay down in bed with someone that has a domain of lust? " It was slightly joking, but a bit of seriousness laid in it.. She would continue, her form slowly settling down onto the bed.. Her side planted ontop of the blankets as a arm comes to fold beneath her head laying on her side to look directly at Nick..
Nick Corwin gives a little shrug. "I have enough engery to shadow slip to safety if you lose control." He too, is half joking, but also a bit serious. If she gets too close and starts to fondle "Though I guess I should warn you, that I don't really like being touched." He gives an apologetic shrug. "Side affect from over a centry of assassin training. I'm still trying to get used to being noticed. I'd much rather fade into the shadow and have no one know me." He doesn't really mean that, but sometimes he thinks he does. Life was easier those years he was away from the empire and just a normal guy that got over looked by the crowd. He's too closely watched here and it drives him nuts.
Synderix smiles lightly as she continues to look at NIck.. "I wasn't planning on touching you anyways..." A sigh slipped past her lips.. "I miss those days.. Being able to go unnoticed.. Sometimes I wish I could just disappear for a few days.. a few weeks.. a few years.. anything.. just to get a break from all of this.. "Ivory teeth took in the bottom lip as a prisoner, lightly chewing on it as the tongue flickered wildly within her mouth.. She only wish she could be accepted by a lover for who she was, and not what she was.. That would never happen..
Nick Corwin has been in love twice in his life, both ending badly. The first girl betrayed him for a friend, and the other was a spy. He knew she was a spy when he started dating her though and always knew he'd have to kill her. He fell for her anyway. It was a public romance, he was Overseer of Kayosia at the time, and she was a super model. "I hear that High Powers often disapear for long periods durring peace time. Too bad the wars are about to break out though." He shifts to settle even more into a comfortable postion, brining the covers back up around his chest more. The air in the room is cool, but the covers are nice and warm. "Personaly I think you're all nuts and should just finish each other off or make peace for good." This idea isn't that odd of one among Kayos' followers.
Synderix shifts abit on the fur, attempting to at least warm the part that laid onto it.. "The rest probably go off to fuck eachother when they dissappear.. " She shifts her arm, repositioning it beneath her as a few strands of oynx tainted hair come to caress the side of her face.. " I doubt peace would ever be brought to the council.. Though finishing off eachother sounds pretty good.. Besides for everything dying part.. Though I did begin that process with Lysandra.. "
Nick Corwin frowns a bit, uncomfortable with the thought her first statment invokes. He doesn't really care to think about what the High Powers do in their off time. He raises himself up a bit, as when he turned early, he ended up rolling on his braided hair. He pulls this out from under him and tosses it behind him before laying back down. Once he's comforatable again, he looks back to Syn. "Yeah, several have died recently, haven't they? First the one you replaced, then Lysandra, then Dacklyn. And I hear The Orcale is no longer on the Council? Something about Gwyndolyn getting jealous Kayos has The Oracle here?" Nick doesn't know the details of the love triangle Syn, Dack, and Kayos had going, so he doesn't know it might not be good to mention Dacklyn.
Synderix sighs softly as the mention of dacklyn once more come up.. She does not answer his question.. Merely shaking it off.. "You know.. I enjoy being around you.. You treat me as just another person.. Not running in fear or worshipping at my feet.. It's a good change.. " Her eyes slowly drift down, a tinge of sadness resting within them.. "If only I could find someone to do the same.. " The love triangle is still slightly going.. Though Dacklyn's part now is probably just pure hatred.. If only he knew the truth behind everything.. How she didn't know how he felt towards her.. That things would of been different if he did..
Nick Corwin almost frowns wondering what he said wrong to bring out that sigh, but then figures it wasn't anything he said at all, but something she was thinking upon her next words. He gives out a little laugh. "But you are a person." He gives a little shrug. "Yeah, I know you could kick my ass in like two seconds, but there's always someone stronger, even among you High Powers. Can't go through life fearing that." He raises a hand out from under the covers to stiffle a yawn. "Kayos seems to like you. . . He not good at showing that?" He's not sure if he understands her comment about finding someone correctly
Synderix allows her eyes to close for a brief moment, though comfort is too great and falling asleep she risked. Her eyelids quickly rose open as she appears quite tired. It was probably all the fur beneath her.. "That's the thing.. People don't realize I'm just a person.. " The yawn began to become contagous.. Her jaw dropping as a yawn of her own forms though quickly does the jaw snap shut.. "Kayos only wants one thing from me.. Actually two.. He only keeps me around because I'm proving a great ally to him.. and a chew toy it seems.. " Another sigh departs from her lips as she continues.. " I seem to attempt to find comfort in the wrong places.."
Nick Corwin can't begin to pretend he knows what Kayos feels. Like almost everyone else, the only side of Kayos he's ever seen has been the emperor side. Nick feels himself wanting to slip back into sleep, and the odd thing is, he doesn't care that Syn is there. She wouldn't be keeping him up. A few years ago he wouldn't have been able to to sleep when someone else was in the room with him, but now it doesn't bother him as much. "That's a conversation you can only have with him and get anywhere. Or you could ask his Amazons. They know everything he knows." He doesn't even realize how saying that might not have been a good thing. The two in this room are no longer in Kayos' loop, but all the others are. All Amazons are assigned to Kayos as his personal guard exepct for five, which are assinged to Nick
Synderix shifts her head in a slight nod, not wanting to move too much.. "I've already tried to have a conversation with him about it before.. It didn't end too well.. " She shifts a bit knowing that she couldn't sleep her.. Kayos would break through the illusion and have a bitch fit if she saw her laying in bed with Nick.. "The amazons tend to keep their mouths shut around me.. But.. Anyways.. I should let you sleep and get to sleep myself.. " Racket with pain her stiff body shifted upwards, only to brief lean down once more placing a kiss on Nick's forehead.. "Good night dear.. Thanks for the conversation.. " And with that the shadows once more enveloped her form dropping the illusion that once was..
