It does. Their voice is one of ours and no one else's to mishandle. I still believe we can free them and relinquish whatever hold this box has.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We'll look into it.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

If only I knew how to grasp onto that same power from my vision, then I could save you and the others on this boat as well. You would be free to return to your life once more.

[Sets the music box aside, scooting closer so he can rest his head on Friday's shoulder]

[ He summons his larger wings so he can wrap one around Jewel as he threads his fingers through his hair, humming softly and murmuring. ]

...Until then, I will do what I can with this current body to keep you safe. Rest if you need to. Let your worries drift away and let my song bring you warmth and refuge.

Oh? What's got you feeling so protective today?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

You could say I felt inspired. The Sirens of old perished in the Song River while others had their voices stolen –were taken apart by their fans as a form of "love."

In my last vision, I said something like...The Embryo of Philosophy will reshape for us all of reality. The thought suddenly was warming to me instead of terrifying.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

It's both though, isn't it?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[regulate]

It is...hence why it is best left to a delusion, no matter how attractive the prospect seems. I am no god.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You're no god....but you were quite kind while I was quite vulnerable. Thank you for that.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

You would have done the same were our positions reversed, and looking after you was a good distraction from the urge to kiss everyone in sight.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Grins, just a little]

Seriously? That was the effect you landed?

[ His wings droop. ]

Aside from being unable to taste sweets and being unable to lie, yes. It was a very unpleasant day. I only stepped out to take you to the Forge cabins. Imagine if Lithium had answered the door, and I had given him another reason to dislike us.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Technically, that could be a reason to like us. We're Arias, I can't imagine anyone being too put out being kissed by a looker like you.

[ His wings twitch around his face, starting to move over his own cheeks. ]

I am sure some would disagree, especially if they already have a crush or partner elsewhere, but if you are worried you missed out, I can make it up to you.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I do hate feeling left out.

[ He shifts closer until their legs are touching before gently gently turning Jewel's face towards his own, mouth lingering close to his. ]

Last chance to run away.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Leans into Friday’s hand, but otherwise stays put, looking over his face slowly]

[ His hand slides to cup the back of Jewel's neck as he tilts his head, kissing him softly at first. His other hand slides over Jewel's chest, tracing along the outline of one of his pectoral muscles curiously. ]

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Covers Friday's hands with his own, budging his lips against Friday's as he kisses back slowly, letting Friday lead for now but being sure to reciprocate each little soft kiss]

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ Slowly licks Jewel's lips open to taste him the fingers on his hair slipping lower to stroke along the nape of Jewel's neck before he suddenly breaks the kiss to remove one of his gloves with his teeth. He presses his mouth back to Jewel's almost instantaneously as his bare fingers rub a slow circle on the topmost bone of his vertebrae, relishing the warmth of his skin. ]

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

By the way...I know it was a slip up, but... Mmmm.

[His breath hitches at the feeling of fingers against his neck, nipping at Friday's bottom lip and scooting closer. His voice lowers to a conspiratorial whisper.]

...Since you almost told me your non-stage name, it's only fair I tell you mine.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ He tenses up a bit, resting his forehead against Jewel's as he sighs against his mouth. He was hoping Jewel would forget that. ]

I promise to keep it a secret between us and hope you would do the same. I do not want any fans or the press digging into my public government records and telling me things I do not even know myself.

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Of course I'll keep it secret...

[Presses a quick kiss to his lips]

Do you really think I wouldn't?

Re: Late late 218 (way past Friday's bed time)

[ He returns the kiss before murmuring– ]

I know you would. I trust you. You have my blessing to use it in private as well.
