*hears the music down the corridor and walks that direction, curious*

*stands in the doorway and just listens for a few minutes, not wanting to interrupt you*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 17:55:29

*scratches out a note sequence on the paper on the piano top, not noticing you're there*

*contemplatively looks at nothing in particular*

*flexes his left hand a little and rolls his shoulder experimentally* :\

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 18:14:25

*notices that you seem a bit restless*

*waits a little while longer before tapping her knuckles lightly on the doorjamb*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 18:22:31

*looks up*

*surprised/pleased* Finduilas.

*rises, seeing you come in*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 18:30:44

*wanders in*

*smiles* I hope I'm not bothering you. I was listening awhile and then—well it seemed like you might be wrapping up?

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 18:41:02

*with less formality than usual* Not at all, it's fine. *small smile* So long as you enjoyed what you heard? ;)

It's just going slower than it usually might. Hard to predict sometimes. *puts his hands in his pockets and steps a little closer*

*conversationally* You slept well?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 18:48:09

I did. *laughs* Though it does feel a bit like I walked in on you changing or something. I think the staff are terrified of you, to be honest.

*slept better than she expected she would, considering* Quite well, yes. Do you know I think this is the first I've been inside all day? There's so much to see in this city.

It's just going slower than it usually might.

*encouragingly* Maybe it's just the time off? Or a lack of inspiration. Or too much crazy in the water around here.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 19:08:52

I think the staff are terrified of you, to be honest

*has to laugh a little at that* Well. Genetics are good for something, it turns out.

Quite well, yes

*doesn't know how to relate that to who your roommate currently is, so just leaves it*

*picking up right from where you left off* Oh, but I don't think it's a shortage of inspiration. All my best things have come from different sources. It's only the things you experience, certainly. And aren't those always changing?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 19:14:13

And aren't those always changing?

*smiles enigmatically* I can hardly deny it. I suppose you must not find any lack in your experiences of late, then.

*lays a hand on your injured arm lightly* But the actual motions are always the easy part, I suppose.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 19:20:53

*gives a tilt of his head and something that might even be close to an eyeroll* Oh, I'm sure any lesser artist would have a grand day with all of this.

*doesn't free his hands but doesn't move away when you draw close either*

the actual motions are always the easy part

*watches you with close curiosity* Mmm. It's the thought process that holds one up, perhaps.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 19:25:35

*clasps her hands together behind her back and appears to take in her surroundings*

*mock-seriously* I was never the expert on deep thinking, unfortunately. I think I'll leave it to you artists.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 20:18:04

never the expert on deep thinking

*cagily* Oh, but I wouldn't leave it all to artists. We do tend to the dramatic.

*doesn't move away from you, but looks toward the door*

Do you suppose they've retired?

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 21:14:00

*tilts her head and eyes you closely* Most people's humdrum lives could use more of the dramatic, I think. *smiles faintly, as if laughing at some private joke*

Do you suppose they've retired?

*idly* I'd imagine so, yes. It's getting late.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 21:28:50

If I'm being honest, I don't think your life would qualify as humdrum, from what I know of it.

*nods, looking down for a moment* I should let the room back, then.

*slowly goes over to the piano and collects the papers* *looks over one or two while he puts them together*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 21:34:12

I should let the room back, then.

*watches you* *airily* It's only considerate, I suppose.

*steps out the door and looks back at you over her shoulder* *coyly* But you don't know anything about me, Maglor.

*walks slowly down the hall toward the guest wing, trailing her fingers over the wall*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 21:39:03

*follows, switching the light off*

Don't I?

*trails behind with slower steps, watching your hand move* Ah. Like your favourite colour, or how you take your coffee, perhaps.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 21:43:38

Don't I?

*gives a noncommittal little "hmm"*

Like your favourite colour, or how you take your coffee, perhaps.

*laughs softly* The impertinence, Maglor Fëanorion. I am a lady. *slows her own steps gradually as she passes her door and continues to the end of the hall, where she pauses to look out a window*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 21:53:03

*eyebrows lift* Even ladies have favourite colours.

*makes his way to the end, where he would turn to go to his room*

*stops next to you and leans an arm on the wall* Pleasant view.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 21:56:41

*smirks* If you're very good, maybe I'll tell you what it is. Someday.

*turns to face you* *runs her forefinger down the center of your chest* Rather.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 22:04:09

*cocks an eyebrow* Well I can't tell you mine if you don't tell me yours. *thinks he is actually curious, beneath all that*

*doesn't pretend to be unaffected by that contact* Indeed.

*hasn't forgotten where they are*

*and hasn't forgotten what happened the last time, either*

*curls the edge of his lip a little mischievously* *backs up the few steps toward his door, with his eyes still on you, and puts his free hand on the door handle*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 22:11:19

*sweetly* Ladies first? Is that the game?

*matches your movements with her own forward steps until she's as near to you as possible without actually touching you*

*reaches out to set her hand over yours on the door handle*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 22:15:00

Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure how I am with games these days.

*pushes down and sets the door open*

*lets you in first, with rather less leisure than he'd been showing just now*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 22:19:01

*steps inside and waits impatiently for you to close the door behind them*

*wraps her arms around your neck the moment you turn, her body warm against yours* *whispers* No games, then.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 22:22:35

*turns your body with a hand on your hip and leans you against the closed door*

*eager whisper* Agreed.

*drops the sheaf of papers, letting them spread where they may, and turns the door lock*

*presses you back and captures your mouth with an intense kiss*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 22:29:27

*answers your kiss with one just as deep, her tongue tasting you leisurely* *lets a sigh of pleasure escape her lips*

*buries one hand in your hair and slides the other down to begin undoing the buttons on your shirt*

*wriggles slightly, enjoying the feel of your body pinning her*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 22:35:47

*moves his hands over your hips, feeling your curves*

*breathes against your lips almost silently with hunger*

*slides one over and up your spine, looking for the zipper to your dress, releasing his body just enough from you as he does so*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 22:44:16

*arches against you before allowing you to slide the dress straps off her shoulders*

*opens the last button on your shirt and pulls it off* *runs her hands over your chest and stomach greedily, hastily*

*tilts her head back to silently beg for your mouth on her neck*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 22:51:02

*drags the shirt off his wrists and returns his hands to your body to push off your dress* *lets his palm slide over your breast as he pulls down, tracing the roundness with his thumb*

*answers with earnest lips underneath your jaw*

*pulls a hand at the nape of your neck to bring you closer and backs into the room*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 22:57:21

*clings to you and smiles against your lips as she stumbles a little*

*kicks off her shoes as she goes*

*pushes you down onto the bed when they reach it* *straddles your lap and continues kissing you, framing your face in her hands*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 23:04:36

*sinks back on the bed and lets his hands roam over your body, with eager pressure with his fingers*

*stops kissing you long enough to look up at you, feel your hands on him*

*slides fingertips underneath the waistband of your panties as he reaches to your face with the other, tilting your chin up with his thumb*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 23:13:31

*glides a hand down your neck and across your collarbone* *traces the edge of the bandage on your shoulder before dragging her fingers down again, feeling her own skin tingle under your touch*

*stretches out half on top of you and props herself up on her elbow*

*reaches down to unbutton your trousers and slides her hand inside, rubbing you with firm pressure*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 23:20:26

*half hisses, letting out a sudden breath*

*shifts under your touch, trying the fit of your body* *reaches his good arm behind you to unclasp your bra*

*reaches up for your lips again, biting gently while he massages a breast*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 23:24:38

*shrugs out of her bra and panties with growing impatience*

*dispenses with the rest of your clothing nearly as quickly, moving down your body as she does so*

*kisses her way back up your thighs and all the way to your lips again, pressing nearly flat against you*

*keeps one hand between your legs to stroke you at a steady pace*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 23:33:14

*watches you with dark intensity, shuddering to keep still* *has to admire your skilled efficiency*

*nudges a knee between your legs to part them and rolls over on his good side, taking you with him*

*grasps the inside of your thigh, pushing your leg up, rubbing*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 23:43:59

*looks back at you, wide-eyed and breathless, taking in your thirsty, covetous gaze* *finds she has to look away, fixing her glance on your mouth instead, and the way your lips part with your quickened breaths*

*wraps her leg around you and lifts her hips to rub more fully aginst your thigh*

*moans softly in agonized anticipation* *presses her fingers insistently into your flesh*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/30/2007 23:51:04

*fits his body over yours and pushes into you without another moment's wait*

*drops his head to your cheek, releasing a heated, silent groan against your skin*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/30/2007 23:59:55

*makes an incoherent sound like a gasp, or a whimper, or both*

*squeezes your hips with her thighs, turning her face away from yours as she tries to master her breathing but only loses hold of all rational thought*

*clasps her arms loosely around your neck, wanting you close but afraid she'll somehow touch too much of you at once*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 00:07:38

*feels almost his entire body tighten as he moves in you without restraint, his breathing uncontrolled*

*pushes up against the mattress, propping himself up above you and arching his back to find a rough rhythm*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 00:13:42

*manages to rock her hips in rhythmic answer to your movements, panting with each of your thrusts*

*looks up at you with heavy-lidded eyes, her expression unfocused, unreadable beyond raw pleasure*

*lifts her head to lick the perspiration from the hollow of your throat*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 00:22:25

*shifts his weight to his elbow to slide a hand over toward the top of your head* *pushes back over your hairline with a barely controlled movement*

*shudders unexpectedly, the sensation of your tongue nearly setting him on the edge*

*pants with effort of maintaining the pleasure he can see clearly on your face, feel in his own body*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 00:28:01

*reflexively turns her head into your touch* *presses a warm kiss to the inside of your arm*

*murmurs a name or a plea or an invocation and hopes what you hear is please*

*wraps her legs tight around you, her hips pushing ever harder against yours*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 00:34:25

*responds with something in a hushed, incoherent whisper*

*drops beside you and wraps an arm tight around you, grasping your buttocks and fervently pulling you closer*

*exhales and inhales raggedly with each desperate movement, barely hanging on*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 00:40:51

*urges you over the rest of the way and leans above you, her nipples touching your chest, the curtain of her hair brushing your face*

*speeds up the motion of her hips and guides one of your hands to her center, her need increasing by the second*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 00:52:30

*looks up at you with dark, desperately intoxicated eyes*

*feels as though his heart is going to beat out of his chest*

*reaches for you as you guide him, feeling the throbbing intensity, and rubs you, watching your face to bring you to climax*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 01:00:00

*braces herself on one arm, which promptly begins to tremble*

*breathes shallow, frantic breaths as her eyes close of their own accord*

*feels her release crash down and can only cry out and try not break rhythm as she clenches around your length again and again*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 01:06:53

*lets go of a strained moan as he releases himself in you, shuddering and pressing up with the last*

*can feel his pulse everywhere in his body, in his shoulder, in every place of contact with you*

*slides his hands slowly over your shaking arms*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 01:11:59

*gives up total control of the moment as she sees you tipping over the edge, wanting you to know impossible pleasure however you wish it*

*finally gathers her senses enough to lower herself onto you with a tiny sigh once the strongest sensations have passed*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 01:18:20

*swallows thickly and begins to still, his thoughts incoherent*

*feels almost stunned by what's just passed*

*places a hand on the damp skin of your back, aware of your every breath*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 08:00:30

*summons the energy to move down onto the bed beside you, her breathing still slowing*

*rolls onto her back, sticks one hand behind her head, and flings the other out to the side haphazardly*

*closes her eyes and enjoys the feel of the air cooling her skin*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 08:26:58

*lies back, looking up at the ceiling, still focusing*

*becomes aware his hand his resting against your hip and brushes his fingers just over your skin there*

*half speaking to you, half to himself, gaze still turned upward* Burgundy. Like the wine.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 08:34:16

*turns on her side to look at you after a moment, resting her hand on your arm and folding her legs up toward her snugly*

*opens her mouth to answer you before closing it again, thinking something over* *bites her lip* The exact blue of the sky on a cloudless day.

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 08:48:30

*looks over at you, noticing your movement* *regains the presence of mind to pull over a pillow, and pushes it under your head*

*appears to be considering something, propped up on his arm momentarily*

*gets up and, with a slow sequence of movements, takes his robe from where he left it that morning and ties it loosely around his body*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 08:53:22

*takes this as a signal* *or the Signal, really*

*sits up in a tangle of bedclothes* *stretches lazily*

*looks around for her dress*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 08:57:08

*goes to the drinks table and pours an amount of Scotch into a glass*

*takes a sip, staring in front of him, thinking*

*refills, then walks back and sits down on the bed*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 09:02:30

*looks positively everywhere for her bra before giving it up and just putting on her dress*

*comes around to your side and stands between your legs*

*touches your cheek and smiles almost apologetically* It's a little early. *looks at the clock on the wall as if it has anything to do with what she's talking about*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 09:13:45

*watches you as you do this* *imperceptible nod* For some things.

*offers you the glass*

*reaches around and pulls up the zipper on your dress*

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 09:18:51

*takes a tiny drink before handing the glass back*

*almost too quietly to be heard* 'night then.

*leans down to pull on her shoes and makes her way to the door*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 09:24:14

*follows you a pace behind*

*lets you open the door, but leans on the handle when he catches it*

*almost out of habit but something new in his tone* Take care, Finduilas.

	From: ivrinsun	Date: 08/31/2007 09:30:39

*feels a tiny smile curling her lips even as she looks away*

*brushes her hand over yours ever so slightly and steps outside*

	From: kanofinwe	Date: 08/31/2007 09:36:07

*rests against the doorframe as he watches you go down the hall for a moment*

*finds the hall, his room, strangely overly quiet as he goes back in*
