[chemistries]

[Yeah okay, Kon's only got one good arm, but he's strong and you really only need one arm to dip a lady.]

[totallyknowscpr]

[ darcy laughs as he dips her, clinging lightly to his neck until he brings her back up and they resume the steps. ]

I'm impressed; wouldn't've pegged you for knowing how to dance this well.

[chemistries]

I'm a man of many talents. [And enormous humility. He grins, twirling her much more gracefully than one might expect from him.] But if there's gonna be any pegging, you should at least buy me dinner first. [Topic of conversation? Not so graceful. But whatever, it made a nice counterpoint to the floating motions of the dance. Or something.]

[totallyknowscpr]

Oh don't worry, the pegging won't be in public, and definitely not on a dance floor. [ keeping up with him conversation-wise? no problem. steps-wise? maybe, since while he's more graceful than one might expect, she's not used to heels, much less dancing like this in them, and wobbles a bit as he pulls her out of the spin. ] And dinner or not, I don't think you'd be complaining much. [ humility is totally one of her strong points too. ]

[chemistries]

That's some confidence you've got on you. [His tone is teasing as he reels her back in, swaying as she returns to the place against him.] You're cute, but I'm not so sure you could keep up.

[totallyknowscpr]

[ yeah, sorry about your feet there, kon. though it was pretty light as far as stomping on someone's foot by accident goes. ] Hey, I don't say things I don't mean. I'd be more worried about you keeping up, if we're going to get critical.

[chemistries]

Hey, I may have a bad arm, but the rest of me more than makes up for it. [Hey hey hey, don't go makin' this personal! His grin sharpens just a little -- he's a guy. He can't not rise to it when a pretty girl ups the ante.] If you don't believe me, maybe I'll just have to give you a private showing.

[totallyknowscpr]

I never said anything about your arm; I was talking about you in general. [ a small shrug into the steps, for once not missing a beat as she laughs and moves with him. ] I think you might have to; I've got my doubts, and when I have doubts, they're pretty hard to dispel.

[chemistries]

Well as far as I can see, it's about the only flaw you could possibly find. [He leads with a careless sort of ease, swirling them around the edge of the dance floor.] But now you're casting aspersions onto my character -- and I can't have that. [He twirls her, spinning her around so her back is to him.] Now can I?

[totallyknowscpr]

Oh someone's cocky. [ it's easy to follow his lead, even with her inexperience with this kind of dancing, and she laughs as they travel across the floor. ] I think I'm gonna have to see some action to back up those words. [ she takes the spin gracefully, without stumbling or bumping into anyone for once, and as she settles back against him, a much more familiar pose to her, she can't help but press back against him. force of habit. ] As well as saving your character.

[ darcy had picked the music, something soft and sweet, a woman crooning softly and he had intended to teach her a waltz but things hadn't gone quite as planned, no. instead they sway in an intimate silence, her hand clasped to his and to his chest along with the rest of her, his cheek resting there against her hair. his thumb brushes in slow swipes against the side of hers, in tune to the thud of her heart, his own echoing, slow and steady.

she smells divine. ]

[totallyknowscpr]

[ it's warm against fandral's chest. dinner and a dance lesson, that'd been the plan, to show her a bit of the classier side of life. but just having their hands on each other meant the appropriate box of space for a waltz had diminished, slowly disappearing until there was none. with her head against his chest, his pulse is music all on its own, and she hums softly along with the song, content to shift a bit closer to him and nuzzle gently. ]

[finefurs]

[ he can't help the way his heart hitches at the affectionate gesture. for all he's seen, the women he's conquered, he's still a boy with matters of the heart and it helped that darcy was a particularly engaging mortal. he could dance with her like this for hours if she'd let him. he'd hold her and marvel at how tiny she is and how that's charming too, in its own right.

he turns to press a lingering kiss there to the crown of her head, fingers splaying wide against the curve of her back. is that too bold? is there such a thing as too bold for fandral? ]

[totallyknowscpr]

[ if he'd told her his feelings on how small she was, she'd probably have to roll her eyes and push at him lightly with a quip about how size doesn't matter, so it's better that they're silent, so that she can enjoy how he envelops her gently, enjoy these quiet moments, so different from their normal flirting. he's like no guy she's ever met before, which may have to do with the fact that he's a god, but possibly more that he treats her like something precious. it's new to her, and she breathes it in, loving it.

the kiss sends shimmers of sensation down her spine, balanced by the feeling of his hand at her back, his hand warm and broad through her shirt. she'll never mind the boldness, as she'll meet it head-on with boldness of her own as she tilts her head up to press slow kisses along his jawline. ]

[It's a warm day with the softest of breezes as Ezio, yet again, refuses to use the door, sliding into the breezy Air District apartment with easy. The large windows help keep his motions fluid as he practically steps down from the sill and into the living room. His steps slow, he nears Darcy, slipping an arm around her waist and coming in from the side to toss her a light smile.

He notes that there's a soft music coming from the kitchen as he does so. It's a simple tune, something slow and warm that makes him gradually pull her against him.]

Good afternoon.

[totallyknowscpr]

[ there are a surprising amount of chores to do to upkeep a mistress apartment, and so she's put on music in the background as she puts everything back in its place, soft and airy to match the warm day. the diaphanous curtains help hide ezio until he is by her side, his hand around her waist. she returns his smile with one of her own, the combination of the music and the easy peacefulness of the day setting her mood as she lets him pull her to him. ]

I had a feeling you'd turn up today.

[bello]

Oh? Am I that predictable?

[He closes his eyes and rests a hand on the small of her back, giving it a brief tap before taking her other hand and giving her a light spin, resuming their position chest to chest not long afterwards.]

[totallyknowscpr]

To me, anyways. Think of it more like learning your routine.

[ there's a small laugh as his hand taps against her spine, expanding into a fuller one as he spins her, and she's glad she's barefoot as she comes full circle, curling back into his arms to rest against him, swaying lightly to the music. ]

[bello]

Mm, well then I will have to come up with a new one to keep you on your toes.

[He holds her to him, looking down with a light grin as he moves cautiously with his boots, taking care not to trip over her. She's light, much like the apartment, airy, free, happy. It is everything he feels upon entering.]

[totallyknowscpr]

As long as it involves coming to this apartment through that window, I can deal with any changes.

[ by now, with her body curled against his, she can read his movements well enough to follow them, knowing each muscle and its patterns. she'd never thought much about the appeal of just swaying against someone else with the occasional simple movement, but this moment is perfect. ezio's arms are warm and safe, and she feels like this moment could go on forever and she'd be happy.

[bello]

That is for certain, it is my favorite window in this apartment.

[He laughs.]

I feel like I can always make a grand entrance through it, don't you think?

[Ezio leans his head down a bit, moves around her like a shell, lets his arms drape over her and simply lets his hips brush her, swaying softly together. There's a warm breeze that comes from the window, soothing in how it wraps around them, smells like the city outside, good and clean.]

[totallyknowscpr]

It's definitely yours - I don't think it even has a lock.

[ even for how often the three of them use it to climb up to the roof on warm night, it is still ezio's window, and they all know it.

she takes a deep breath as he covers her, smelling the fresh air of the day outside on him, the smell of the leather he normally wears and the sweat of his skin from leaping from rooftop to rooftop underneath. it's a comfortable scent, a familiar one, and she lets it envelop her along with his arms, swaying with him in time to the music, letting her head settle against his chest contentedly. ]

You are such a drama queen when you want to be.

[bello]

[He laughs, raising a brow. If anything he likes to think he's a king, at least when it comes to the rooftops. None of this queen business now, Darcy. He gives her a warm smile, lightly tangles his fingers in her hair as he hums a bit with the music before speaking.]

Well now, bella, I always did want to be an actor. Now is my chance.

[totallyknowscpr]

[ someday they're going to make him business cards that say 'king of the rooftops'. and all of zodion will weep. her hands splay across his back, rubbing small circles as his fingers move through her hair, and she laughs lightly. ]

An actor, a musician, you've got a pretty broad talent range there. Is this a 'Jack of all trades, master of none' thing, or do you actually have skills? Let's see them
