145th Devotion: Reaching Out

[favoritetraitor]

[Private audio to Marishka: backhouring to dusk]

Marishka... are you awake?

Comments

[toobad_sosad]

[The beautiful man's voice...]

Yes. I am awake.

[favoritetraitor]

... do you have any immediate plans tonight?

Private Audio

[toobad_sosad]

No. Does Solomon want me?

[favoritetraitor]

[The phrasing causes him to pause momentarily. He gives a slight cough, refocusing.]

... well, yes.

[toobad_sosad]

[There's delight in her voice when she speaks this time.]

I shall come to you now.

[She's not trying to be rude but she hangs up so she can rush to his room.]

[favoritetraitor]

[He blinks down at his network device not having expected her enthusiastic and immediate reaction. Anything he was going to say is forgotten for the moment. Instead he tilts his head and listens, waiting patiently for her arrival.]

[toobad_sosad]

[She arrives in the room, closing the door behind her. It really doesn't take her eyes long to find him and she glides over to him, automatically reaching out to touch his face and his hair.]

I am here now, Solomon.

[favoritetraitor]

Yes... you are. [He doesn't shy away from the familiarity of her touch this time.]

Marishka, would you care to take a walk with me? I feel like going out.

[toobad_sosad]

I would like this.

[She gives him a warm smile and goes to latch herself onto his arm. It's how she would walk with her Master, after all.]

[favoritetraitor]

[He rises to meet her, arm extending instinctually. But before proceding any further, he pauses, voice held low.]

Why don't we take a short cut?

[He makes a small gesture towards the window.]

[toobad_sosad]

[Her eyes light up to see him being so bold. It's so lovely to see.]

Yes. Let's do this.

[favoritetraitor]

[Effortlessly, he glides across the floor, reaching to open their means of 'escape'. Not that he considered it in that way. Even if Marishka chose to come back, he knew that with one command from Diva's lips (or Saya's, for that matter) and he'd be compelled to return.

This was merely a temporary measure. A time to get away and reflect, and hopefully to find some respite from the misery that clouds his existence.

The window offers no resistance, allowing a soft breeze to enter the room and wash over their skin. He gives Marishka a small nod of the head.]

Ladies first...

[toobad_sosad]

[Leaving his side, she jumps onto the ledge then easily jumps out, landing on the ground below. Rising back up, she looks up at him with a smile as brilliant as the moonlight rising up into the sky.]

Come, Solomon. Join me.

[favoritetraitor]

[His eyes follow her graceful movements, transfixed for only a moment before he slides silently out of the house and effortlessly drops down to meet her.

The ruse of his humanity was pointless now. His arm re-extends itself to the women beside him, and his attention shifts away from the estate, eager to be off.]

Shall we?

[toobad_sosad]

[It's so easy to wrap herself around him, rest her arm on his shoulder. She likes his presence, feels relaxed around it.

Closing her eyes, she listens to how he moves, easily walking without missing a step.]

Solomon smells good. I like being able to walk with you.
