Shattered Soul (kuro_bara x Alenaeon)

Beth trotted along beside Rem pushing her weariness aside. It seemed they would have to deal with some of these problem sooner rather then later. She took the lead as they made their way into Upper London. Most of this part of London was on the highest parts of the buildings that covered the cities. The airship docks were located up here as was the only view of the real sky. Only the rich could afford to live in Upper London and in reality it was a very small portion of the population. They had to sneak past two massive locked gates and guards to actually get in the city. Looking at their battered clothing she pointed to a shop. "We need to blend in better." She said looking around at the extremely posh citizens. Rem wasn't really far off in his dress but she was dirty and scuffed and looked comparably like a beggar from the lowest parts of London.
 
Remwald looked around. Hm, weaklings. They didn't deserve the richness they held, none of them had probably even held a sword. He walked with an air of confidence, slightly annoyed at the dirt and ruin of his clothing, but he had come to accept them as part of life here. He looked around. "Shall I...acquire some funds or clothing for milady then?" He bowed and took her hand, pretending to be leading her around. While it wasn't completely unheard of for one of the nobles to take a low blood woman, it was rare for them to be so public about it.
 
Beth laughed when he implied theft. "No we don't need to resort to anything so crude. Come on." She led him into a shop and walked up to the counter. The woman gave her a dubious look, clearly thinking she meant to cause trouble. Beth pulled out a folded sheet of parchment and showed it the woman and suddenly all the staff were very accommodating. Sauntering back over to them she gave him a wry grin. "Why steal from random people when we can just send the bill to Dirigible." She laughed musically. "I showed them my university credentials and told them I need new clothing for a function for Dirigible." She smiled at a lady that was beaming at them across the store.

After going through all the racks she settled on a simple but well made black bustle skirt with a cream top and a purple jacket. It was probably the fanciest thing she had ever worn in her life but she rather liked the feel of it. After they had made their purchase she signed off on the receipt with the name of one of the department heads of the university so it wasn't immediately tracked back to them. With that out of the way they started off towards the companies headquarters.
 
Remwald nodded. "How clever, even if you did 'steal' all of my fun through that!" He looked around at their clothing, idly poking through. It was a shame he didn't have spare spending money in excess, he might enjoy updating his wardrobe even further. He lifted a few suits against his body, nodding or shaking his head to confirm to himself whether or not he liked them, storing them away mentally before they left.

He was tempted to whistle at her, but restrained that part of himself. "You look stunning. Now we should probably hurry." He moved through the streets at an accelerated walk. He expected there to be resistance, but he didn't know how he would approach it. In this moment, his goal was primarily to survey the area.
 
The Dirigible headquarters was a large sprawling complex surrounded by a tall iron fence. Above it floated half a dozen small airships hooked to their own personal dock. Rem and Beth could see dozens of people coming and going among the various buildings. It looked innocent enough and was certainly not heavily guarded. In fact there was only one guard standing at a booth that had a mechanized arm blocking foot traffic and vehicles. Acting like a touring couple, she dragged him closer. "Oh these are the infamous Dirigible offices!" She said loudly. "I heard they have some wonderful gardens inside."

The guard smiled and walked over to them. "You are welcome to go inside." He explained waving a hand. "The grounds are open to the public during the daylight hours for a small fee." Beth made an excited sound and looked to Remwald as if asking permission. It was in reality a perfect way to investigate the area without raising suspicions.
 
Remwald frowned as he looked over the gate. It could easily be a trap, or turned into one. Well, they might as well take a risk and hope this wasn't actually the headquarters or they may have some trouble. He nodded to Elizabeth. "Yes, yes. I'm sure we can have a look although we should make it quick. We don't want to miss dinner with your friends." He offered the man the required fee and stepped back the booth.

He looked through the parts that they had revealed and open to the public. The garden was marvelous, and incredibly pristine, all of the flowers seemed perfectly healthy and Remwald imagined he knew why but didn't voice his concern publicly. No need to give himself away, even in here. He walked through the halls of the building, admiring the work they put into this building, especially as he suspected it was just a cover.
 
Beth wandered among the gardens occasionally scanning the buildings for any sign of a name or indicator to what was within. None of the plain stone and brick buildings were labeled but everyone seemed to know where she was going. Eventually she followed Rem into one of the unmarked buildings and started poking around. Leaving Rem nearby in the hall where she could still see him through the door she stuck her head in one of the offices. It was plain, very clean and looked almost unused. Going back and looping her arm through his and strolling as if they had not a care in the world she asked very softly. "Do you find this place...a little too clean for an office?" Her voice was pitched low enough for just him to hear.
 
Remwald nodded. "Why yes, my offices are even cleaner then this at work. They have very strict standards at work, odds are this place does as well." He hoped she caught the implication that he had no office and was just agreeing with her, without trying to draw attention. He walked through and headed for the exit, his curiosity having been sated. They would ransack the place and look for hidden connections or even notes. While he doubted there would be anything concrete, to his knowledge they didn't have his experience.

Assuming they made it out undisturbed, he headed for her home. The day had been long and trying, he had no intention of trying it further. He headed through the door and plopped onto the couch, he was half expecting a note from someone to be waiting on a table, threatening to burn down their house at this point but he didn't look to see if there was. He just closed his eyes and sunk into the couch, his arms spread out over the back
 
Their trip home was uneventful and had given her time to think about the rather short moment in the alley. Beth knew her mind should be focused on the task at hand but it kept wandering back almost against her will. As they entered the apartment she pulled off the jacket and hung on a rack by the door. "Coffee Rem?" She asked heading into the kitchen to start the water boiling. After a moment he could hear her swear and storm back out the hem of the bustle turn in the front. "I am really not used to wearing something this fancy." She said bending down to inspect the tear. With a sigh she went to change, it was easier to be in trousers anyways, she could fix the long skirt another time. She slipped the heavy garment off and replaced it with a pair of soft brown breeches that she preferred over the dresses and skirts.

As she made her way back to the kitchen to make the coffee she stopped and looked at Rem for a moment. He looked exhausted mentally and physically and she felt bad that there wasn't more she could do for him. He had mentioned being able to heal him with the essence of Death but she really didn't have a good enough grasp on it yet to be effective. Finishing up the drinks she brought them to the table and set them down. In his current position he was taking up a good deal of her tiny sofa. Feeling an unwarranted surge of bravery she walked over silently and dropped onto his lap with her legs to either side of his hips and a wry grin on her face. "Hard day at work dear?" She teased gently, rubbing his shoulders.
 
Remwald opened his eyes at her being on his lap. It hadn't been his intention, but now that he had thought about it, it was probably a pretty good plan if he had tried. His arms wrapped around her waist, resting just above her hips. He smiled as he nodded, moving in close so that way his face was almost touching hers, as if he was going to kiss her. "Just a long one." He pulled back, his teasing content.

He moved his hands to her back and massaged it, and pulling her closer to him. "Of course, it isn't that bad given that I have such desirable company to help me relax." His muscles relaxed drastically in her hands, he felt like he might turn into literal putty if she kept it up, his eyes looking at her body, so very close to his.
 
Elizabeth grinned at him though her eyes closed a little at his massaging. It felt wonderful and she didn't mind being this close to him either, it was kind of nice if a little outside her usual comfort zone. As he drew her closer she could have sworn she heard the barest hint of a giggle but she shook her head assuming she must of imagined it. Ignoring that odd occurrence she continued to knead his shoulders sliding closer and reaching further to work on his shoulder blades. The position pressed her quite firmly against his body. She leaned in a bit and kissed him on the lips gently. "I don't mind, I feel like I am not good for much else." She murmured with a small smile.
 
Remwald kissed back as he held her in his arms. He slid his hands under her shirt to massage her back, his fingers slowly moving up. He kissed her again for a few moments as he laughed. "Now, now Elizabeth. You show good promise at being a mage, you are smart and clever. You are good at much more then just helping me relax. Now calm down and cheer up before I give you another sort of tongue lashing!"

Before she could respond to his innuendo, he pressed her into a kiss, pressing her body against his as his hands massaged a bit less and explored more of her back. He kept his lips pressed against hers before moving away and his hands resumed massaging her as if nothing had ever happened. "And I can be a tease as well!"
 
Beth blushed furiously at his comment unable to help the very brief mental image that accompanied it. When he kissed her all her other concerns melted away and she found herself leaning into it enthusiastically. He pulled away abruptly giving her an innocent expression and she actually let a small growl of frustration slip her eyes widening in surprise as she slapped a hand over her mouth in embarrassment. That had been entirely unexpected even to her but an accurate sum of her feelings at the moment. The endless teasing they were directing at one another was enough to drive a person mad. Though it did give her hope that if she was enjoying even these simple moments that what may come in the future would be quite enjoyable. Still he didn't have to look so smug about the effect he had on her. Her response to his comment was to squirm in his lap with an impish grin.
 
Remwald giggled at the growl. "Rawr back to you." He pressed her into another kiss, as his hands resumed exploring her body, teasing her with gentle brushes of his finger tips. He moved his hands more and more to the front of her body, until he was tracing little circles across her stomach, slowly moving up. His eyes slow shut as he sat there, enjoying the moment of closeness.

His hand worked it's way, slowly with circles up to her breast, teasing her through her bra. (Assuming she has one on.) He pressed his fingers in to watch her reaction, he hoped that it wasn't negative. If she hadn't pulled away by now, he would use his tongue to dance along hers, teasing and taunting it as it dashed around in her mouth while he fought the urge to grind against her.
 
The feel of his fingers on her bare skin left an electric sizzle in their wake and she closed her eyes enjoying this new sensation. As he explored further and teased her breasts gently she let out a small shuddering gasp that was quickly silenced by the rather forceful use of his tongue. It only furthered her desire to continue their exploration of one another so she mimicked what he was doing and teased him with her own tongue. Beth draped her arms loosely around his neck quite enjoying this new side of Rem she had not seen, only glimpsed through his often passionate kisses and moments.
 
Remwald wanted to giggle in glee. He missed this feeling, the feeling of being close to someone emotionally and physically. He moved his hands down, teasing her stomach for a few moments before he moved back up, forcing his fingers under her bra. He sought out her nipples to tease them with his hands while his tongue continued to play with her.

After a few moments to ensure that he had her worked up, he reached around to her back and started to unclasp her bra as he slowly pulled away from the kiss with the most innocent look on his face that he could produce. "You know, my tongue does have other uses then just pleasing your own tongue." He said with a wink as his hands managed to get her bra undone.
 
She was thoroughly distracted by his playing that she barely registered his words but when they did finally make it through the fog of desire that was starting to cloud her mind, she still blushed bright red. She could feel his elation in regards to what was happening between and it only served to fuel the fire already burning inside her. Beth realized with a jolt she wanted to please him and...she wanted him to do the same. A soft, small moan asked her lips the more he teased her with his hands making her wonder what exactly he could do with his tongue. With a great force of effort she pulled away from him and grinned at him. "Hm...I dunno..." She said pretending to consider rejecting his offer with a sly look.
 
He playfully pouted back at her. "Oh, well that's such a shame. I have all of this pent up energy that could be used towards pleasing you. Maybe I'll go play with your counterpart in the Shadow plane." He said with a wink, figuring that jealousy might get her. Of course, it might annoy her but that was the risk he would play.

He kept his hands to his side as she pulled away, he looked her over with more then a little lust and desire. It was tempered by his own feelings for her, but her teasing had pushed him over the edge. He wanted to be with her, in more ways then one. He wanted to make her happy, to scream his name.
 
Beth made a face at the mention of her counterpart and his attempt at stirring her up with jealousy actually did work. She growled lightly and leaned forward nipping his bottom lip just lightly before kissing him again. "At least I have a real body..." She muttered, at the same time she reached up and slowly began to unbutton the blouse she was wearing with a coy look at Rem. She could feel his own desire coiling inside his body and in her minds eye it looked like a brilliant red energy. With agonizing slowness she peeled the top off along with the already undone undergarment and dropped them on the floor but she kept one arm covering his view of her now bare chest. It was more a subconscious tribute to her usual shyness that she couldn't really help.
 
Remwald only became more and more motivated as this went on. The teasing was almost unbearable at this point but he intended to move on. He nipped back at her, pressing her into a kiss. He grinned with his little trick, at least he had done something right. He hugged her body to his, pulling her arm around his body so that way her chest was pressed against his. He wanted to remove the suit, but at the moment he intended to focus on her.

He held her arms, enough to make her have to resist slightly to stop him, but not enough that she couldn't stop him. He pressed her backwards, as he bent forward to take a nipple into his mouth, using his tongue to flick across it and tease it. He used his teeth on it, and listened to her reaction before he pulled away and looked over her body. "You look absolutely beautiful, dressed or not."
 
Beth was a little surprised when he held her in place and tugged gently to see if would let go, before she could even consider escaping he completely derailed her train of though by teasing her nipple. Her back arched pressing herself towards him at the same time a slightly louder sound of pleasure escaped her control. The feeling made her writhe with pleasure in his lap and when he pulled away to look her over she felt vaguely short of breath from the experience. His teasing words made her blush a bit darker but it was hard to tell under the flush of excitement tinging her skin.
 
Rem gave her a quick peck on the lips as he admired her body again. She really was beautiful, he was glad that he had managed to find her. Hopefully this would last, or at least the moment would feel like it would last. He blew her a kiss and sat there, staring into her eyes for a moment. "Hm, I can stop if that is what you desire. Or I can keep pleasing you." He kissed her cheek, enjoying the feeling of her being close to him, of her warm skin against his.
 
Beth knew full well that he could very well take what he wanted, he had the strength but the fact that he was giving her the choice of when to move forward made her feel incredibly cared for...how could she possibly say no when he put it that way. She definitely didn't want him to stop, not now but her inherent shyness was starting to creep up on her and replace her initial forwardness. She knew whatever answer she gave him he would respect and she would have to live with. The same faint giggle echoed in her mind again and she felt her reluctance melt away. Instead of wasting energy on thinking about it you gave Rem a sultry smile and leaned close to him kissing his jaw all the way to his neck. "You are supposed to be my teacher..." She murmured close to his ear. "We never said what the topics had to be about..." She sat back and looked him with a wicked smile. It was clear the choice she had made.
 
Remwald smiled back at her. His desire had only served to become more and more inflamed as the the night went on, and now he wanted to start to release some of it. He grabbed her and gently sat her down on her back on the couch. He hooked his thumbs around the edge of her pants and underwear, slowly pulling them. He got them down below her knees before he couldn't resist, he bent forward and stuck his head between her legs, he used his tongue to taunt and tease her, sticking to her outer folds for the moment. He kept his eyes focused on her face as he worked, quite happy with how he had handled himself so far.
 
Her eyes widened in surprise at the very rapid switch that happened, one moment she was on his lap and the next she was on her back with him tugging away the remainder of her clothing. Before she could protest he started teasing her in a different place with his tongue, gasping she placed her hands on his head and tilted her own head back with a look of ecstasy on her face.
