At Last

It seemed like a lifetime since Vervain had felt quite so free. Much as she was loathe to admit it, she had missed living and breathing and being so close to the outdoors. Northaven was a cage to someone like the former huntress - it was out here, with the sunlight dappling across her bare skin and the sound of the woodland's beating heart... this was where she felt truly alive. Her wild curls remained as unruly as ever, even with Devrum's gentle ministrations, and she stretched languidly from her place astride the bear man. Splayed comfortably across his chest. She grinned back at him. "Your ideas always get us into trouble," she pointed out to him, but it very obviously wasn't a no. She moulded like clay into his rough hands, settling comfortably on the bed of leaves beneath them and watching with curious blue eyes as she got to his feet. And where exactly did he think he was go-- oh. Oh. Vai pushed herself to sit up, lips parting as if to say something only for the words to die in her throat. The beast roared, the sound thrumming through her bones, and as it sniffed and nudged at her she felt a grin spread across her face. "Well look at you," she murmured, half under her breath as she got her feet beneath her. Without hesitation she reached out, fingers burying themselves in the thick ruff of black fur about its neck to scratch and fuss as she looked it over. Looked him over. Then he flopped onto all fours and she arched an eyebrow at him. "You're kidding," she murmured, knowing he wasn't and laughing, wasting no further time in... well, climbing aboard. Naked. Obviously. {END THREAD - continued in Smashing Pumpkins {Seasonal Event}} vervain she's a wild one with an angel's face
