Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDuchess)

Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

She nodded and played with her food a bit and pushed her hair back gently looking at him " What about the lvl one and two demons, i would think that they would be the ones on the council since they are of higher rank?" she asked trying to understand this world a bit as she took another bite, of course nobody would believe her about all of this, they would say she dreamed it up and just go on their way, she breathed softly chewing her food then laughed softly at his mention of invention of the herb " An herb is a plant Alexan" that was the first time she had said his name aloud and it just seemed to roll off her tongue rather easily.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan finished his food and pushed his plate away, now full. “The level 1 and 2 demons do not associate with the rest of us” he said. “Simply put, they are far more powerful than the rest of us and thus consider us inferior. They have colonized another part of Zendac and do not associate with us in any way other then to create mayhem when they are bored. When that happens, blood is often shed and lower rank demons have to band together to survive.” He picked at his salad next. “When the level 1’s and 2’s left, the remaining ranks designed the form of government we have today – the High Council. Members serve on the council for 10 years - running for office similar to the way your politicians do. They can only be replaced through death, retirement, or the end of their term. Sadly, it is commonly known that no one below level 5 will be considered for Council as they simply don’t have the strength to enforce the laws. Personally, I think that diversity of thought is worth having lower ranked demons consider but I am in the minority.” When she mentioned Herbs were plants, he glanced at his salad. “You mean an Herb is like this green stuff in my bowl?” he asked. He liked that she used his name and even more important, liked how it sounded rolling off her tongue.

Nodded and then laughed before shaking her head " no not like that, an herb is like a spice spice and herbs work together, but some don't go together and you have to add the right amount to the right dish, its a complicated system if you don't understand what they are " she said and smiled slightly before finishing her small dish of food and moving to her own salad and tossing it around lightly before taking a bite and smiled slightly while sitting up straight and eating quietly letting him ask more questions if he needed to.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan stared at his salad and turned the idea of spices and Herbs over in his head, finally shaking it. “Thinking about Herbs and spices gives me a headache” he said. “Perhaps one day you can teach me more about it – either here or on Earth.” He didn’t understand plants well but he enjoyed eating these green ones and he did. When he was done, he smiled at her. “Tell me about your paintings Susan” he asked, looking for something to talk about. Anything to keep her near him for as long as possible.

Smiled and continued to eat her salad before finishing and stacking her bowl and plate together and taking a sip of water before she answered him " It really depends on how you view them, i do mostly impressionistic, which is very detailed painting, my pencil sketches take on a more of a rustic grungy feel sometimes when i don't clean then up afterwards, most of my work is at my apartment as well as all my supplies that i have collected over the years, it takes up most of my living room which isn't much since its connected to my bedroom," she pursed her lips slightly and looked at him, " i paint with oils mostly and i draw with pencils and charcoal which most would find hard" she said and realized she was talking to much and instantly went quiet letting him digest what she had said.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan smiled as she talked because it was clear that her art was her passion. It was that passion that had attracted him to her in the first place. He began to gather up their dirty plates and took them to the sink, setting them in it and returning to the table. “I love pencil and charcoal sketches” he said. “The image is raw, straight from the heart, and you can do some lovely shading, particular with the charcoal. It seems so messy though – the charcoal dust I mean.” He paused to take a sip of water. “Have you ever worked with acrylics or watercolors?” he asked. “I don’t like watercolors as much – all the paintings I’ve seen like that always look washed out a little – but acrylics seem vibrant.” He paused, realizing he sounded a little strange, then shrugged. “I’m sure you probably never expected to have an art conversation with a demon before” he said “but it is a hobby of mine. I like to paint and draw, though compared to you, I am horrible. We don’t have oils and acrylics and such here on Zendac, though we do have things that are similar. I have long gone to Earth for my supplies though as I like the better. Remind me to show you my work room.” He got up then and went to clean the dishes, feeling like he had talked for far to long. “Oh, and I’ve always liked the style Pointillism. The idea of painting a portrait using nothing by tiny dots fascinates me for some reason.”
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Waved her hand and placed it back at the base of her cup looking at him " No i don't touch them, Acrylics dry to fast for me and its rather hard to correct a mistake if you make it, and watercolors are the messy work, you have to make it work for you in order to make it beautiful, i have done a few watercolors, but none of them are as good as my oils, altho Pointillism is alot like acrylics to me, i wouldn't be able to blend like i can with oils, tho it is a rather interesting thing when its done" she nodded in agreement and smiled at him glad that he at least shared a bit of an interest in the same thing as she did tho she did feel a bit uneasy being around him still but not as much as before, she stood and moved to the counter standing there and watching him while holding her glass in her hands and looking around the kitchen before walking around slowly.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan nodded. “That makes sense. I hadn’t thought of it like that. The kind of painting I do is very amateurish so I haven’t had to worry about fixing mistakes – I make too many of them!” He laughed at that but sadly it was true. “Who are some of your favorite Earth artists? I travel to Earth a lot because I like it there and I sometimes visit the art museum in your city.” He paused, dipping his head. “That’s where I first saw you.” As she began walking around slowly he continued. “As an impressionist, I’m guessing you’re a fan of Van Gogh’s work?”
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Snapped her head around and looked at him for a moment " i went to the art museum four weeks ago... and i do not like him, he is far to messy for me no, i like Leo, and Monet mostly" she said and nodded to him before finding a window and looking outside tilting her head and watching the outside scenery
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan nodded. “Yes, that would be the right time frame. I have watched you for a while, growing more attached to you from afar. I….” he hesitated. “I knew what I planned as wrong, though at the time I denied it, and I watched for a while, to make sure I found what I thought would be the right match for me.” He finished the dishes and put them away to dry then joined her at the window. “I have never heard of Leo” he said, “but I agree that Monet was a fine painter.” He stood by her side quietly, just being there with her. It was nearing sunset. “The city has a beautiful sunset” he noted. “Would you like to see it? It may be the only chance you get in case the Council grants our wish to send you home.”
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Turned and looked at him before speaking softly " so you were like my shadow stalker for four weeks until today....." she digested that for a moment before looking at him again " you know there are other ways of approaching someone, you could have made yourself known and actually talked with me through out the four weeks, maybe it wouldn't of been so much for me to take in at one time" she looked at him calmly before hearing about the sunset she perked slightly and smiled " hang on" she moved from the window and moved to the room she had claimed and went to her bag grabbing her camera and coming back to him turning it on and coming back to him " alright ready" she said holding the camera in her hands gently looking at him.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Alexan looked down at the floor when he heard her words. “Yes, I know, but I’ve never been very good with women” he said softly. “I thought about using my magic to look like an Earth male and approaching you but every time I did, I panicked.” He smiled sheepishly. “As you can probably tell, talking with you has been difficult for me. Not because you’re hard to talk to but because I get nervous.” He laughed then. “A nervous Demon. That sounds so weird.” He looked at her. “It’s true though. I’m nervous around any female but when I saw you, I was mesmerized and….that made me even more nervous.” When she said hang on, he waited patiently, watching as she returned with a contraption in her hand. He cocked his head, looking at it. “That is an Earth camera?” he asked tentatively.
 
Re: Kidnapped to Zendac (DareToDream and TheDutchess)

Smiled at him and nodded " indeed it is Alexan" she nodded and held the camera up pointed at him and smiled " give me a smile" she said and snapped the picture wether he did or didn't, she looked at it afterwards and smiled slightly " not bad at all" she said and looked at him " i want a picture of the sunset that way maybe i can paint it later" she said and moved closer to him looking through the pictures of a few of the artworks she had snuck a picture or two of while at the museum before looking back at him " alright im ready to see the sunset" she said and nodded her head slowly.
 
Alexan tried to smile but she was quick with the camera and he wasn’t sure if he managed it or not. He beamed when she said it wasn’t bad so he guessed that meant he’d done ok. Though he spent a lot of time on Earth, he still had a lot to learn about it. Zendac didn’t have something like a camera so that was new to him. He nodded when she mentioned why she wanted the picture of the sunset. “I think you would capture the sunset beautifully” he said. “It is very colorful and you have a flair for that.” When she moved closer to him, he caught a slight scent of her perfume and it made his heart flutter. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, continually amazed by her beauty. He swallowed thickly when she said she was ready and gently took her hand. He glanced at it, and then her, and blushed. “It is almost dark so it is best to stay close to me for safety” he said as he began to walk towards the door.
 
Smiled and let him take her hand and lead her outside, when he smelled her perfume he could probably tell that it was a sweet apple scent, it wasn't musky or unbearable, it was one of those intoxicating smells that you just wanted to keep around for as long as it would last, she walked out on the porch and looked up to the sky moving closer into the radiant sunlight and messing with her camera a bit before raising it up and snapping a picture of the setting sun, when he came closer her would notice that her hair seemed redder in the sunlight almost like fire .
 
Alexan led her outside into the setting sun and found a good place for them to view it. The city was large but was surrounded by mountains and the sunset always came down over them, sending the last of its light rays bouncing off the ridges, reflecting it back towards the city. The beauty of the moment never ceased to amaze him and he tried hard to never miss a sunset here if he could. As the stood side by side, her warmth encasing him, he smelled her perfume again and realized he loved it. It was a pleasing scent that he could grow used to quite easily. As she took her pictures, a ray of light lanced down from the sky and hit her hair, turning her naturally red color a fiery flame. For the first time in a long time, Alexan missed a sunset because he was mesmerized by the beauty beside him.
 
Smiled and quickly snapped her pictures moving in different directions to get one long shot, she knew what she was doing and this was going to be a large piece that she would cherish forever or give to him to remember her if she went back home, she felt a light hope that she wouldn't but she had made a promise to herself to stop thinking of other wants and start thinking of her dreams first, she was a generally kind person and always thought of others before thinking of herself, and that usually made her easy to walk all over when the person came along to do it, like a friend or a boyfriend, she hadn't wanted to date for the first term of her school life in college but she might change that eventually. She continued to snap pictures until it was gone and the ray of sunlight left her in a slight afterglow, she smiled and turned her camera off and looked over at him " that was very stunning" she said and nodded before turning her head and looking back at the mountains while the last lights left the sky.
 
Alexan watched her take her pictures, glad that he could offer her something as beautiful as a Zendac sunset, even if it wasn’t something he created. When the light finally faded, leaving the two of them in darkness, he turned to her. “Yes, it was” he agreed. “I’m glad I was able to share it with you, an equaling stunning woman.” He reached out then, without even thinking about it, and brushed a strand of hair off of her cheek. The touch of her skin to his sent an electric shock coursing through his body and he gasped, quickly covering it with a cough. “If you are unable to go home” he said, when he had recovered from the surprise tingle that the touch of their bodies sent through him, “I can show you many beautiful things that Zendac has to offer. Waterfalls, lakes, caves, forests. Many things for you to photograph and paint. For now, though, we should go back inside. Night can be dangerous here sometimes.” He put his hand on her back and guided her towards his house.
 
Felt the hair being brushed from her cheek then felt something that surprised her greatly making her jump in surprise as she looked at him with wide eyes, she had felt something similar to an electric shock when he touched her cheek and wondered what it could be, she was puzzled but nodded to him when he lead her back the house looking around and seeing a pair of green glowing eyes in the forest before bolting inside and capping her camera walking a little bit further in and gazed back at him letting a soft yawn slip from her lips " long day..." she said and moved to put her camera back in that room.
 
Alexan closed the door and sealed it for the night, then spoke the warding chant that added further protection. Zendac at night could be very dangerous, even for a demon of his strength, and he’d long ago gotten in the habit of warding his home against outsides. He turned and saw a yawn slip from Susan’s lips and his eyes stared transfixed, amazed at how the simple act of yawning could bring out a new beauty in her face. When she went to her room to put her camera away, he busied himself in the kitchen, putting a pot of water on for tea. When she re-entered the room, he turned and smiled. “It has been a long day. Perhaps you’d like a cup of tea before retiring for the night? We will get up early tomorrow to petition the High Council.”
 
She smiled and looked at him " do you by chance have white tea and mint? that is usually what i drink when im going to bed... helps me sleep better" she asked and smiled before settling down at the table gently and breathed softly while watching him then looking outside the window to the nighttime scenery, it was quite pretty at night and she wondered what dangers was came with the night time sky before pushing her hair back with both hands running her fingers through it slowly and sat back in her chair.
 
He returned her smile and turned to his cabinets, shifting through his offerings. He knew from his observations of her those past four weeks that she enjoyed drinking tea but he had no idea what she liked. To compensate for that lack of knowledge, he had picked up tons of different Earth based teas in one of his trips there and had also stocked some of his favorite Zendac teas. Shifting through them, he found the type she wanted and brought the hot water, mugs, and tea to the table. “Here you go” he said, sliding some tea bags across the table. “I wasn’t sure what you liked” he said shyly “so I had stocked lots of different teas in one my trips.” He watched her then, just gazing into her eyes, as he waited for her to mix her tea.
 
Smiled and shook her head still finding it creepy that he followed her all those weeks before she realized something and looked up at him with a horror struck look on her face " you..... you did you ever come into my home?" she asked just sitting there looking at him hoping he would say he didn't but there was still the possibility that he did and that scared her a bit, she pursed her thick lips lightly and fumbled with her dress lightly in her hands .
 
Alexan smiled, recognizing her fear. “No my sweet, I never entered your home. I think, deep down, I knew my actions were wrong re: following you and I choose to never violate the boundaries of your home. So fear not, whatever went on there, I knew nothing about.” He hoped she believed him because it was the truth but he could also understand if she didn’t. Even he had to admit now, looking back on it, that his actions, no matter how good he thought his intent had been, were creepy.
 
Sighed softly in relief and nodded thank full that she was able to keep some parts of her private, she nodded and took the tea bag gently and placed them in her cup and took a spoon full of sugar and spilled it in gently before pouring her hot water, she stirred slowly not tapping the cup at all and watched the water slowly turn a light brown color and the smell of mint and white tea was in the air eventually, waiting for it to cool down she continued to stir to make sure the sugar dissolved easily, before lifting the cup up and sipped it gently before making that one sound that meant it was good, that mmmm sound which she did in a low tone before looking at him and smiling " this is good thank you" she said and sipped it again gently.
