The Guardian and the Mage(Anaeria and ShadowBlaze27)

His groan, not of pain, but of something else when she nuzzled his skin made the Unician woman look up in surprise and pull away a little bit to see if she had hurt him somehow, and the stab of relief when she saw no signs of injury to him was a surprise, a welcome one.

The idea of a cold shower sent a shiver down her spine, and Imalia looked at him as though her were insane, her eyebrows mildly confused as she regarded him. "Why do you need a cold shower? A hot one would get you clean if you feel you need it." She could feel his growing erection against her leg of course, but figured it to be something that he needed to do, such as pee, and shifted her leg out of the way so he could get up if he wished. His arousal scent was pleasant too, a deeper scent of orange, and she liked it, but had no idea what it meant as she sat up and stretched her arms over her head.

"You smell clean too, so you're wish for a bath is somewhat confusing to me, but you will do as you like of course, it is your home after all." Offering a smile to try and ease any discomfort she may have pulled with those words, Imalia stretched again and groaned as her spine popped audibly.
 
"You've been smelling me?" Kieth asked with an amused grin as he sat in front of her. Since she hadn't commented on his obvious arousal he assumed it didn't bother her and as such he decided to not suffer through a cold shower. He couldn't resist the urge to look her body over when she stretched and he found himself looking at her breasts for a long moment.

"You're hungry, right?" He asked as he moved to get off the bed. He was already thinking of what he could make to eat as a way to distract himself.
 
"Yes....doesn't your nose work?" Not knowing about humans' senses beyond their sight, Imalia climbed off the bed as well, though when she stood she was a bit shaky. Getting her balance back was simple enough however, and she began a more full bodied stretch as he asked her if she was hungry "Yes.....I am, but I can graze outside, it's no big deal." The idea of green grass, actual grass and herbs and wild flowers and leaves that were green and full of nutrients was amazing to the Unician, who had subsided on her magic and clean water for nearly three hundred years in order to give her animal friends the most nutrients from the forest as it could get, and Imalia was looking forwards to a wild salad as she got herself all stretched and somewhat warmed up.

His arousal, and she knew he was aroused of course, was obvious on his scent that he had left on her skin, and the dark haired woman found it a pleasant scent, mixed with her own lavender and clover scent. "What do humans eat anyways? I know they are able to eat meat but that is all, are you carnivores?"
 
"My nose, fingers, eyes, tongue, and ears are all working perfectly fine. I was just surprised is all." Kieth said as he did some stretching of his own once he was standing. His arousal was making it a challenge to not watch her as she stretched so he instead busied himself with making the bed. He hadn't thought that she could graze like a normal horse, he blamed it on focusing too much on her current appearance.

"Humans can really eat anything that any other mammal can, but most people eat far more meat than vegetables." Kieth explained as he motioned towards the door to the room. "Do you think that you can make it down the stairs, or should i carry you again?; He asked with a friendly smile. He was kinda hoping she'd want to be carried, but he blamed that on his body wanting to touch her.
 
Returning his smile as she noted his friendly look, she tested her legs and then shook her head. "I think I'll be alright so long as I don't shift forms for a day or so, my magic is still too low to really do anything, so I'll be pretty much humanoid for the time being." The idea that humans coud eat pretty much anything was sort of funny, and she giggled as an image of a human eating a piece of bark fluttered through her head for a moment before she shook her head again and headed for the doorway, trying to remember where exactly in this oddly square box of a house she was. "There are....stairs....here." Getting to the stairs, she stepped down onto one lightly, noting her leg shook as she did so, and then frowned slightly before she looked at Kieth.

A mild flush of pink tainted her cheeks then and she had to admit that she couldn't take all of the stairs just yet, the action felt odd to her legs, which were more used to leaping and running, not stepping down in measured amounts "Uhm....sorry..I guess I do need some help...please..."
 
Though he'd never admit it Kieth actually found the sound of her giggle to be quite cute as he followed her to the stairs. He'd noticed how unsteady her legs were when she moved to the first step so he'd began to lift her off her feet before she could finish her request. Now that she was so close he could see the pink flush on her cheeks and he felt himself grinning down at her.

"Your cheeks are turning very pink, why is that?" He asked with amusement clear in his voice as he carried her down the stairs. When they reached the ground floor he didn't put her down and instead moved towards the door to carry her outside.
 
Her eyes widening at his question, her cheeks going red as she realized that she was embarrassed, something she hadn't been in quite a long, long time. Since her brother had been alive in fact. Returning his grin, if a bit weakly as she realized what a blush was, she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder without a word, though she giggled again as she recognized her own embarrassment and found some amusement within it. "I'm remembering some things....blushing and the like...heheheh..."

Once they reached the bottom of the stairs she loosened her grip somewhat, and expected him to stop and put her down, since the stairs had been her main problem, but when he went to the door to carry her outside she was quite surprised, and pleased. Especially when the cool night air hit her bare flesh and raised goosebumps again. The night sky was just awakening with the stars that would come out as the night progressed, and the moon hadn't risen yet, leaving everything in darkness as they went outside, Imalia turning her head to peer at their surroundings with awake, alert eyes. The scent of grass and leaves and the like made her belly grumble, whihc made her blink in surprise and look down.
 
"It looks good on you." Kieth said with a teasing wink as he placed her on her feet when her stomach growled. "I hope that I'm not embarrassing you too much without thinking." He said as he motioned for her to go graze before he turned back to go in the house to grab a sketchpad so he could do a drawing before he would start making his own dinner.

With his sketchpad in hand he would come sit on the porch and start to draw.
 
Shaking her head slightly, pleased that he had complimented her and yet confused as to her pleasure about it, Imalia smiled and got her legs back under her fairly easily before she headed out to the yard and had to sit in order to focus. Drawing up some of the power of the earth under her feet in order to help herself shift, it was a slow, and actually painful transformation this time around, and the dark woman was glad that Kieth had gone inside to make his own dinner.

By the time he came out however, she was on all four hooves and was grazing steadily, loving the fresh taste of the green grass, packed so full of nutrition, the odd wild flower that she found beside his fence delicious, though she left the cowstongue plants well alone, as they were poisonous to her kind. Hearing his door open again and the soft steps of the human mage who had helped her, she lifted her head slowly and looked at him with black-starlight eyes, her tail swishing behind her gently as she stepped up to his porch and leaned her head over the railing to nuzzle him lightly before she went back to eating ~"What are those instruments for? I've never seen parchment that square and white before, is it magicked?"~
 
Kieth wasn't surprised to find her in her current form, but he was surprised by her nuzzle which made him smile. While she was still close enough he'd reach out to run his fingers along her mane. He'd actually brought the sketchpad to draw her as she grazed and once she moved away that's what he began to do.

Her question made him pause for a moment as he thought of an answer. "The color is just because of how the parchment was made. It's called a sketchpad and i use it to draw pictures upon. The instrument I'm using is called a pencil and it's similar to using charcoal to draw with." Kieth explained as he kept his eyes down on his work. He was used to drawing using a mental image as reference.
 
As she grazed, she listened to him explain about the paper, called a sketch book, and nodded slightly before she carried on eating. In truth, she could have eaten quite a bit, filling her belly completely, but she'd have eaten his grass to the ground if she had and she figured he may not appreciate it too much. After a final nibble at some mint along his fence, she stepped back to him, leaned her head on the railing and watched him work with a curious eye. She wasn't an artist in the sense of colours and the like, and to give her a pencil and a paper she'd probably just squiggle all over it, but she knew an artist when she saw one, and he was good, sketching her from memory. ~"You are very good at your art Kieth....do you sell your drawings?"~
 
Kieth didn't really care about how much she ate as long as she was happy. The grass could always regrow and if not he had magic for that. He was almost finished with the sketch when she came over to speak with him so he stopped drawing to give her his attention. "I sell most of them, or at least i tey to. Several of them I'll never sell though." He said with a smile as he recalled the pictures he'd drawn of last night.
 
Blinking slowly as she considered his words, and the smile on his face that truly did turn him handsome, the Unician female nodded slightly and then went back to grazing. ~"You are very good at what you do....if you wish, I can bring other animals to you to draw. I know there is a Lycanthrope, pure bred, who has come over with me from the Dark Space....she is somewhat cranky but she is a good friend."~

Her offer stated, and her belly more or less fully, Imalia stopped eating and then closed her eyes, drawing power from her surroundings in order to make a fast change in her body form. The action was fast, a faint pop of displaced air and she was human again, naked entirely, and laying on her breath with the wind sucked out of her. "Ooof.....heh....ow..."
 
Kieth watched her transform with a worried frown, he recalled that she said it took a good amount of magic to do so. When she finished he made his way over to her and held out a hand to help her stand. "I'd love to draw any of the other creatures if they're willing. I'm sure people would love a picture of a lycanthrope." Kieth admitted with a nod of his head.
 
"Sure...I can Call her later on..." Panting for breath slightly as she looked up at him when he came into her line of vision, Imalia chuckled breathlessly and shook her head slightly, feeling like she'd been torn apart and put back together again. But, at least she didn't have vertigo, that was a bonus, although raising her hand to have him help her up was both a lesson in humility and pain as she collapsed halfway up and ended up toppling forwards into him with a startled gasp. "Ack! Owww....oh that hurts..."
 
"Is it always that painful?" Kieth asked as he wrapped his arms around her to support her. "I'm going to pick you up and carry you inside." He warned her before he gently lifted her in his arms and carried her into the house. For once he didn't outwardly react to her naked body and just placed her on the couch.

"What did you do to get rid of so much power within a night?" He asked as he sat in the nearby armchair.
 
"Not...not always!" Letting out a quiet gasp as he caught her, picked her up and carried her inside to the couch, Imalia shuddered, her skin hypersensitive to everything. It felt like she had been skinned and new skin was just growing, making everything that touched her extremely sharp.

As he set her down on the couch she shuddered at the feeling of the black leather and curled up, the simple movement sending a jot of...something, through her. Kieth's question penetrated her thoughts, dragging her away from the warm sensation in her belly that the jolt left behind, and she lifted her head to look at him blankly "I did what I always do....I placed nine tenths of my power within the earth. Only....it took more than I thought it would and I almost lost my Soulcore in the process.." Her Soulcore, an old term for the center of each mages or magical creatures' magic. Too much magic could shut the core down, sometimes permanently. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to worry you, but eating as a human would have taken too long...and I was hungry..." Offering a faint smile as she shifted to look at him better, she stiffened as another jolt raced through her and she gasped, feeling her breasts becoming very tender against her arms.
 
Kieth understood her reasoning and just nodded as he watched her. Of course he'd noticed her shudders and gasps since he picked her up. Was the pain of transforming that bad or was it something else? "Are you still in pain?" He asked once she'd finishdd speaking.

He'd only expended all of his magical power a handful of times and each left him being stuck in bed for several days so he knew how tired she probably was. The body tended to react badly to excessive magic use and her last two transformations probably felt worse than anything he knew.
 
"No!" Squeaking, her voice breaking a little, Imalia blushed and then shook her head, cleared her throat and started over "No...just...my skin is...hyper sensitive right now....it's really tender and ah....your touch... felt really good." Her cheeks were bright red as she admitted it, ducking her head to keep them from being seen.

"I haven't shifted so often with so little power before and it's....stimulating...." Shifting her arms, where they covered her breasts and her tender, sore nipples, she bit her lower lip and shivered again, her legs clenching together tightly as the warmth in her core began to get hotter slowly.
 
A smirk appeared on Kieth's face as she said his touch felt good. "If it felt good then you want more of it, right?" He asked as he rose to his feet and moved the short distance to kneel in front of her. "So it's not typically this stimulating?" He asked sounding genuinely curious as he looked her in the eyes.

He wasn't going to take advantage of her, he just intended to tease her a little. She would be able to smell his growing arousal as he looked her body over.
 
Indeed she could smell his arousal, the heavier scent of oranges that she found that she liked so much. She still had no idea what was going on with her, only that her instincts called for her to touch the male in front of her, and she sighed quietly at his questions, not realizing he was trying to tease her as he got closer. "Y-Yes...It felt good...really good....And n-no it doesn't happen like this...though I don't normally get so low on power....it's not something I had to worry about in the past...." Trailing off as her eyes focused on his, then turned to look at his hands.

"I want...I want to touch you....may I...?" Her gaze flitted up to his eyes again and she froze, feeling another jolt of heat run through her body and center on her core, her cheeks red indeed now.
 
"Of course you can. Are you sure that you should with how sensitive you are?" Kieth asked as he moved closer and reached up to cup her cheek. "Red looks good on you." He said with a grin as his eyes remained on hers. The feeling of her cool skin made him sigh in something like pleasure.

He wondered how she wanted to touch him, but he'd just wait and find out. There were several ways he wanted to touch her at the moment.
 
His hand moving to her cheek sent another, stronger jolt through her system and Imalia moaned quietly, not able to help herself as she turned her cheek into his hand, his teasing compliment almost lost on her though she blushed harder anyways, her hand going to his other one and just touching his hand lightly, her fingers seeming to memorizing the lines in his palm and the feeling of his skin on hers.

It was pleasant, how she touched him, but she wanted more, and her eyes glazed slightly as she reached out and imitated him, touching his cheek with her whole hand, his warm skin comforting against her cooler flesh as she leaned into his hand, needing more but not sure how to ask. "Please....I don't...understand what is happening....to me....I need to touch...I need...I don't know...."
 
"You have my permission to touch me however you'd like." Kieth said as his hand gently rubbed her cheek and his head turned to kiss the palm of her hand. At the moment he wouldn't object to any of her requests so when she said she needed to touch him he just smiled and moved closer until his forhead could rest against hers. His hand gave the one touching it a reassuring squeeze.
 
Imalia sighed as he gave her his permission to touch him, and her hand slid from his cheek to his shoulder as she slid forwards, wincing at the shock of pleasure and pain that her legs went through as she moved. "Thank you..." Letting her legs drop off of the edge of the couch, one on either side of him, she closed her eyes as he put his forehead to hers, the heat within her needing release of some form. "....I don't know what I'm doing...I really don't..." Her hands slid to his shoulders and forward to his chest, the fabric of his shirt getting in her way and causing a faint frown. "I need...but I don't know...." Frustrated, she returned her hands to his own, and his bare arms, touching and loving the sensation of his skin on hers. "I need more...."
