I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-05-2018 For an accomplished liar for much of his life and career, Ronin had been all but biting his tongue in two trying to keep from spilling this secret to Vanya. He had no doubt she would be aware that something was up - he kept trying to discourage her from cleaning up their little hovel and nesting in it (the life of an expectant mother might have been old hat to her with her experience bringing up her siblings, but Ronin was oh-so-in the deep end and loving every second). Then, you know, there was the small matter of him sneaking out at night sometimes and promising to explain why in good time. Which probably made her understandably furious, given that he had only recently gotten over having his shoulder bitten the shit out of by a demonic horror from the Spire. But still, he wouldn't be stopped or swayed and now he was finally able to show her why. He had used a small strip of fabric to blindfold Vanya before scooping her up into his arms and carrying her out towards the Settlement from the Domiciles - a fair trek by anyone's standards, but Ronin considered it a replacement for his usual training regime. He'd evade any questions she might have quite spectacularly, using all the guile and charm and dirty tricks he knew. They finally arrived, the former captain all but vibrating with excitement as he fell to a halt before the building. [say]"Okay, ready?"[/say] he asked, shifting to remove her blindfold with a flourish and grin up at what he hoped she would consider their new home. The guildhall was one of the larger buildings in the Settlement, as suggested by the 'hall' part, but the second level would be all for them if Ronin had anything to do with it. He'd scrubbed it top to bottom (with help) and now... now it was finally ready for them. [say]"So how would you feel... if I started a guild. To hunt monsters. For bounties. A bounty hunter's guild. Because that's what I've done."[/say] He beamed. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-06-2018 Absolutely nothing she said was getting her anywhere with this man. Not only had he insisted on blindfolding her and not answering any of her questions - he insisted that he carry her. She had protested like mad, considering he had just had a bite taken out of him.. Of course, Ronin had a certain way with convincing her. Namely ignoring her protests and scooping her into his arms with only a scrap of cloth over her eyes to look at.
Her lover had quite craftily evaded her recently, even in the wake of his wound he just didn’t stop, and he was very good at dodging her questions with charming grins and infuriating replies. She told him the osprey was going to start biting at his ears if he didn’t tell her what in the world he was up to soon. Even now that they were on their way to just whatever it was the ex-captain had been working on, she still pestered him. All quite in vain. Still, it was a welcomed distraction from the weight that kept getting heavier in her chest. There hadn’t been a single sign of her family. No whispers of the Hali’s, the family that had been through hell and back together. Together, always together. She had to believe they were safe somewhere. Now.. it was just her. She had stopped her questioning, finally giving up as she rested her head against his shoulder with a frustrated huff. Not just her. She had Ronin. She had that glimmer of life growing within. She grinned when he finally set her down. ”Ronin..” And then the blindfold was off, and they were standing before a.. Rather large building - one of the larger ones in this area. The sea bird blinked and tilted her head, quirking a brow. She opened her mouth to speak, but he jumped right to an explanation and - ”Well I suppose it must be alright if you’ve already done it, isn’t it?” She pursed her lips and turned, narrowing her eyes at him. Hunting monsters. On purpose. ”You nearly left me for a venomous bite to the shoulder from a monster, and you’re going to look for more of them?” Oh yes, Vanya hadn’t been happy about that. Her heart had stopped, it had fallen, and it had nearly exploded from her chest with that injury of his, when she listened to the accounts of the beast. The osprey turned to look back at the building he had apparently been spending all his time on, and she was silent for a long moment as she crossed her arms over her chest. Finally, she turned away from the building and to Ronin, stepping up to him until she had to look up at him. Her hands tugged at the collar of his shirt, as if she had the ability to hold him in place, and she tilted her head at him with narrowed eyes and the barest hint of a smirk. ”Bounty hunter.. Alright then,” she said. ”You be stronger than the beasts. You be faster. Smarter. Better. You got that, Taliesin?” RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-06-2018 Ronin lingered behind Vanya as she took in the building, making no effort to hide the boyish smile on his face despite the nerves that fluttered in his stomach at the fact that he couldn't actually see her initial reaction. [say]"Me..."[/say] he responded at the sound of his name on her lips, and when she glared up at him he held up his hands, as if in placation. [say]"Well I mean... it might not necessarily be alright, but I didn't not already do it."[/say] No, obviously he hadn't expected her to jump at the idea or be thrilled that he was going out - on purpose, yes - to hunt down the kind of thing that had been responsible for giving him his nastiest scar yet. But she hadn't hit him so far, so that was a positive. It might very quickly change with the way she stepped up to him, Ronin biting his lip to try and wipe the hopeful smile off his face and gazing down at her, blue eyes meeting hers steadily. Her tug at his collar was met with a soft laugh - the ironic thing, of course, was that Vanya did have the ability to hold him in place. It just wasn't necessarily with brute strength. Ronin's eyes lit up at the tell-tale beginnings of a smirk on her lips, and her words set the fire that had ignited in him to burning all the brighter. [say]"Yes, ma'am,"[/say] he said gruffly, as if in response to a superior officer, though rather than salute he reached out to draw her to him, his hands gently roaming over the curve of her hips. Ronin leant in to capture her lips, one of his arms sliding around her waist to hold her against him. [say]"Would you like the grand tour?"[/say] he asked, nodding at the guildhall. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-09-2018
RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-10-2018 Her hands were a gentle fire against his chest, and Ronin smiled against soft lips that came up to meet his again. Vanya's kisses were sweet and wicked and he couldn't get enough of them - he didn't think he'd gotten enough of them as of late, in fact. He would have snagged her back against him if she hadn't been so quick, the former-captain reluctantly letting her slip through his fingers and stepping up beside her to appraise the guildhall anew. He walked a few paces behind her when she approached the door - Ronin already knew what was inside, of course, so he would let her explore at her leisure - only for her to turn and watch him so intently. As she mentioned flying he felt a similar grin spread across his face, Ronin nodding and tilting his head up as if to make sure he'd made the exterior of the guildhall as impressive as possible for her, should she want to soar about that as well. [say]"Always,"[/say] he said when he was finished, folding his arms across his chest and waiting for her to spread her wings. It wasn't a shape he had often seen either; never up close, always from a silhouette against a sky bleeding the red of sunset. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-12-2018
RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-12-2018 Almost as if he could feel her nerves, Ronin stood by calmly to wait for Vanya to shift and soar away above them. And when she finally did, a small smile curled at the corners of his lips, the ex-captain watching his lady circle and climb and spread her wings against the pale sun. He'd only really seen her shift that once, when she'd left to go back to the Siren's Call. But even then it had been from a distance - always from a distance - so to watch her dive with a grace that had his smile growing, to have the soft brush of feathers against his shoulder... he felt damned privileged. As she slipped in through one of the windows, Ronin stepped up to unlock the doors to the guildhall, heading inside just to see her feet touch to the floor. Wild. Vanya looked wild as the day he'd met her, stepping up and out of the ocean while he painted on the rocks. The sight of her had him caught for a second, before he flashed her a charming grin and stepped up to lace his arms around her, leaning in to press warm lips to hers. [say]"You look like you enjoyed yourself,"[/say] he murmured against her, stepping back only to take her hands and turn her to face the guildhall. They stood in the large ground floor, which was clean and dry and scattered with tables and chairs. Along one wall, Ronin had nailed up a large notice board - presumably for a map. Along the opposite wall, a sturdy staircase led to the second floor. [say]"How would you feel,"[/say] he asked, [say]"if we lived here instead? Up there?"[/say] He nodded up the stairs. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-13-2018
RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-13-2018 [say]"Live here,"[/say] Ronin repeated smoothly, arching a playful eyebrow down at her and feeling a smirk on his lips as he watched her appraise the stairs - and the rooms beyond it, all for them. She stepped up to him and he freed one of his hands to slip it around her waist, pulling her close. Her kisses were welcome, each one more than the last, and when her lips left his he all but grumbled in protest, leaning in to take her bottom lip between his teeth, nipping at it gently. A surprised laugh left his lips - a feather bed indeed - and he allowed her to lead him a few steps before he resisted, tugging her back and feeling a rush of excitement thrum through him as their bodies met. [say]"It must,"[/say] he agreed, [say]"and I assure you I will show you around our home, but if I am going to, I'll start from the ground up."[/say] Ronin leant in, stealing another lingering kiss from Vanya's lips, even as he turned them away from the stairs. [say]"This is the guildhall,"[/say] he murmured into her mouth, not looking around at the place at all and backing her up further into the hall itself. [say]"This is where the maps will go."[/say] He waved a hand absently at the wall, the other exploring the soft curve of her hips and cupping her backside, hitching her closer still. [say]"And this is a table."[/say] Ronin's laugh was wicked, and he slipped his hands beneath Vanya's thighs to lift her up, setting her onto said table and closing the distance between them again. She was sweetness and spice and something so altogether other that, despite himself, the ex-captain fell in head first every time. His kisses grew hungrier, his tongue dancing against hers to taste her, to taste the heat building between them. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-14-2018
RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-14-2018 Her legs locked around him and drew a wicked smile from Ronin, one which was punctuated with a sharp intake of breath as her teeth grazed against his lips. One hand remained beneath her thigh, hitching it up further to grind her against him, while the other lost itself in her silken mess of dark curls. [say]"Let them watch,"[/say] Ronin muttered in a low voice, his grin audible, and he carefully tilted her back until she was lying against the table. His mouth found Vanya's again rather without his permission, the ex-captain sighing into the kiss even as deft hands ran down her sides until they found the leggings she wore. She'd feel his smile rather than see it, Ronin pressing against the small of her back to arch her up and permit him to remove the all too troublesome garment. He cast them aside without looking where. Hooking a now-bare leg over his shoulder, Ronin took a moment to gaze down at his lady with blue eyes hazed with lust. His chest rose and fell in tandem with the heat that pulsed through him and rolled low in his stomach, and he turned his head to press his lips to the inside of her thigh. His mouth was hot and his kisses were slow, but that did not change their inevitable destination. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-15-2018
RE: I Got You, Babe - Ronin - 12-16-2018 Silent? Ronin had no intention of Vanya staying that way for long. He smiled against the soft skin of her inner thigh as she urged him on, warm hands grazing against her legs and hips, shifting up her tunic to expose her midriff. Blue eyes glanced up up just momentarily to watch her, Ronin gripping her hips to pull her closer still. His own arousal, still trapped beneath clothes as it was, bordered on painful, but he would deal. Then his mouth was on her and his eyes slipped shut to better concentrate on his task, tongue darting out to taste her sweetness, hot and wet and promising so, so much more within. Ronin hummed appeciatively into her, licking and kissing his way to that sweetest spot of all, flicking his tongue across it teasingly. He lifted her hips to better angle her against him, his hands moulding against her backside, hot breath tickling over her exposed skin. RE: I Got You, Babe - Vanya - 12-17-2018
