To Find Peace (1×1 w/ Mr.Aznable)

[PoisonousIvee]

"May I have the esteemed honor of knowing your name, my fair maiden?" He asked. His voice was low and husky, a faint accent curling into his words.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She gasped a bit. "L.. Liona.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He made an interested noise, "How lovely. After the constellation, Leo, yes? A beautiful summer name for one who lights up a room as you do."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She blushed darkly. "Y-You flatter me so.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm called Ares. My father had a fascination of mythology." He said with a faint roll of his eyes. They were such a beautiful shade of pale blue.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I.. love it.." she said. What was wrong with her? She couldn't speak, she couldn't think about anything else besides him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He smiled and her heart melted right there. "Thank you, my lady, you flatter me."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her heart was racing. She forgot all the troubles she had then and there. He was perfect.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

When the song ended, he pulled back and bowed to her. Who was he?

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She made a noise as she curtsied. "Wait.. are.. we done....? Please, this night is so wonderful.. would you.. accompany me for the night..?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He laughed softly, "Only the dance is done. The party is over when there is no one left to celebrate." He said before nudging his head, "Come, we'll sit on the balcony."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiles and nods as she moves with him. "I.. thank you.. if you don't mind me asking, how do you know this home so well..?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He smiled playfully before jokingly looking around to make sure it was safe before leaning over her ear, his breath tickling her flesh, "I'm the baron.." He whispered.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She laughed a bit before stopping and looking, eyes wide. "You.. you're not joking, are you?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I am absolutely serious, my lady." He smiled, "I know, I look much too old.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Far too young, if you wouldn't mind me saying so.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He gave a faux bashful wave of his hand, "You flatter me yet again."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiles. "Thank you for the invitation.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He shook his head, "It was no trouble.." He said. His eyes ghosted over the faint bruises she still had but said nothing for now.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled and simply stared out at the moon.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"You're very beautiful, lady Liona," he said, "even the moon burns brighter in her envy.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She blushes and hides her face. "I.. I thank you, your grace but.. I.. I'm not so certain... my hus.." she trails off and sighs. "My husband doesn't seem to think so.." she said. It seemed as though the life drained from her at the mere mention of her husband.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

His expression hardened slightly, "He is a fool to not worship the very ground in which you step. To relish being in the same space you breathe in. To beg your affections like the repugnant animal he seems to be."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I.. I'm not sure.. I did love him once.. but.. something ha- rather.. something did not happen.. and.. well, he changed..." she said

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He took her hand gently, "You may stay as long as you wish...and my doors are always open to you.."
