She heard him get in the tub and muttered a spell for his clothes to come to her under the door. The stopped at her feet and she bent over to grab them. As she walked to the washing room, she threw them in a tub of hot water and let them set for a bit. She looked out the window, sighing lightly. As she did so, something brushed up against her leg and she looked down calmly to see Jez, nuzzling her leg. 'He's all right Jez. He is in the same position as grandfather. Do not harm him.'
'I will not. Can I have food?
Tiy smiled and nodded. She walked to the kitchen and pulled a steak that had been in the chilling chest all day and sitting in a mixture moist with herbs and spices and she set it in a tray and in the stone oven outside. She told Jez to wait a bit before coming to the steak and Jez just curled up by the fire. Tiy went back to her washing room and slipped out of her own dress and threw it into the hot tub. She stood there in her undergarments and skirt and shut the door, she thought, all the way. She began to rub and soap the clothes as she muttered a spell for her grandfather's robe and night clothes to go under the door of the bath room and to hang on the hook on the back of the door.
She continued washing and kept thinking about the man in the other room. Still so mysterious, but a friend, she knew.

Zeion saw what the clothes float onto the hook he was shocked at first but when he thought he had enough bath time he got out it was the half-hour he planned on sure the water though warm was dirty and he drianed the tub and grabbed a towel and dried off as much as he could. He put on the night clothes first and then the robe. This way he'll still wear the night clothes he soon opened the door and walked out of the bathroom. He looked around for Tiy.

Hearing him move about in the bathroom, made her realize that she was just standing in her undergarments. She looked around and found a cloak on a hook on the wall. She grabbed it and put it on. She dunked the clothes in the hot rinse tub and then hung them up to dry. She walked out of the back room and saw him standing there in her grandfather's robes. She smiled lightly, "Comfortable and clean?" She opened a cabinet in the hall and pulled out some fresh sheets. Turning back at him, she looked down at herself real quick to see that the cloak was closed. All clear.
She looked back up at him, a light smile on her face.

Zeion smiled back and said."Yeah." Zeion just couldn't help but smile around Tiy he walked up to her and placed his hand on the sheet and said."I'll do this you don't have to worry about it." Zeion said with a more relaxed tone the before he had grown used to the house so far."I'll hand bed things which is something I was used to before life as a mercenary." He said all he need to here is where his room was.

She liked his smile. It was almost as if his face weren't used to his lips being in a smile. But all the same, she liked it. He walked towards her and placed a hand on the sheets in her arms. He said he'd do it and she nodded. "Yes, all right." she pointed down the hall, "Second door on the left then. I'm going to change and then sit at the fire to read for a while. You're more than welcome to join me," she said, hoping he would.
With that, she walked to her room, the first door on the right and made sure it was closed behind her. She turned to close the drapes and spotted Jez outside, licking his chops as he just finished his steak. She laughed lightly and then drew them tight, and then lit a candle with a snap of her fingers. She looked over at the wardrobe and opened it. Pulling out a dark forest green and silk with black lace, she slipped out of her cloak and out of her upper undergarments and slipping into the long nightgown, she returned back to the living room and went to pick a book from the shelf.
Pulling down a large leather bound book, she smiled at the cover: The Great Romances of Royalty. She settled down in front of the fire, laying on her stomach and propping her face up on her delicate hands as she opened to the first page. The fire felt warm against her and closed her eyes for a moment to soak it in.
It was nice to be home. It was nice to be away from the city and the busy crowds. It was nice to have some company... after so long. Jez came in and curled up on his huge pillow on the floor by the front window, away from the fire, knowing that it was Tiy's turn with the fire.

Zeion set up his bedding after hearing what room it was he went in and took care of it right away. It was about 5 mintes later that he came out and walked into the living room and saw Tiy laying in front of the fire. He couldn't believe his eyes at first she looked so lovely in that nightgown. He didn't stare for long though he looked away Tiy was beautiful and that nightgown looked great on her.
Zeion didn't say anything as he walked in and smiled at Jez that wolf looked so calm there."Hey Tiy done fixing the bed up." He said just after walking in. He sat on the chair he was trying not to stare at her. He after all never seen a lovely woman like Tiy before.

She looked up at him as he came in the room and gave a light smile. "That's good news! I could have done it myself..." she said. She felt his eyes on her and she caught him looking at her for a split second before he turned away. She looked down at her book for a moment and then closed it, after thinking for a minute.
"Tell me a little bit more about yourself," she laced her hands in her lap. "You're still such a mysterious friend to me... And I promise nothing will leave these walls."
She thought for a minute and realized that that didn't come out the way she wanted, but then again, a lot of things she said came out that way. She had a bad habit of saying what was on her mind, but not all of it came out sometimes and from that, she didn't make a lot of sense at times. But she didn't think that what she was going to say fully would be appropriate at the time being...
She looked back up at him, curious to hear what he was going to say.

Zeion heard what she said he figured he should at least tell her about his life."Well I was born in a place far away from The city I was born from a knight and a healer. I lived a nice life till about I was 13 when I started sword trianing. My father liked what he saw but my mom wanted me to be a person to help others. At 15 I went on my first mission it took a whole month even though it was an wasy mission. INnthat time my mother and father were taken by a sickness no one knew what to call it. It hit them fast and killed them in the month. Well I knew what I could do. Be a mecenary after all it was a great job with even better pay than even a royal knight would receive. I've been a meceranry for 7 years now. I've met meny people but it just seems only animals and very few people trust me."Zeion felt that Tiy was going to asked somethign but he figured he might as well hear it.
"Is there something you want to ask before I go on?" He asked he had a feeling he knew the question was before Tiy was going to ask it. He could be wrong or right either way he would awnser it. Zeion also wanted to know Tiy more but he would wait till she heard everything. then ask more aboiut her.

Tiy listened and she felt sorry for him. She didn't know her real parents, but she wasn't sure what it would be like if she lost the ones that had adopted her now. She was sure it would be hard to cope with, but maybe that's why he was a mercenary: it was his way of coping with the pain and anger? She wasn't going to judge him, but maybe that was the reason. She didn't know. She looked up at him again when he asked if she had something to ask him before he went on. She smiled lightly. "Oh... I just felt your eyes on me... and I wondered. Maybe it's stupid, but I wondered if I have reminded you of someone dear to you...?"
She looked to the fire for a moment and added another log and then looked back at the man sitting in the chair. She was slightly nervous about asking him that, but she had said it and she couldn't change it.

Zeion heard the question and blushed a bit before saying. "To be honest after what happened no one wanted to get truly close to me. No matter who much I try town to town it was the same do some jobs try and sind someone and the girls just don't like guys like me. Yet I find myself staring at you it's just your just so beautiful, kind I guess you could say I'm drawn to you in a way." He said as the blush went away."Tiy I think your the only one who opened your heart to me." Zeion said as he looked at her face he had to keep his eyes on her face not her body. He didn't want to be rude doing that
He wasn't surpised by her question he knew she'd ask eventually. He never had anyone truly special to him before Tiy. Tiy minght have been the only one willing to get to know him in the whole city.

He told her that no girls in the town liked guys like him and that she was just so beautiful. She saw his blush and she blushed lightly. She could see that he was trying hard to look her in the eyes. He told her that she was the first one to open up her heart to him and she smiled lightly. "People don't normally find me so kind... but I think it's just something about you that has made me want to open up to someone..."
She stood and looked at him. She leaned forward and placed a hand over his heart and placed his on hers. "Underneath what you do, there is still a beating and feeling heart that should never be neglected..."

"It was neglected till I met you Tiy."Zeion said and didn't pull his hand away. He was stuck just staring into her eyes. He had never been this close to any girl before. Zeion wanted to be even closer to Tiy. He didn't know why it was just a sudden need but he placed his other hand on her hand.
"I've never had any one be this close before Tiy. I...I like it. Let's sit together on the couch. I promice not to do anything to offend you."Zeion said as he slowly got up. He gently held Tiy's hand in his. Never had anyone got this close to him before.

She sighed lightly when she heard that it had been till she came along. And for a moment, their eyes locked and she felt his yearning in his eyes. She smiled lightly at him, studying his face, and then he told her that he had never had anyone this close to him, he liked it. She nodded and he asked to sit on the couch together and she followed as he led them to the couch. They sat down and she smiled lightly to him saying that he wouldn't do something to offend her. She laughed lightly and she scooted closer to him and pulled his arm over her shoulder as she sat with her back to his side and her head gently rested on his shoulder.
She knew that this was real close, almost a couple thing to do, but she also knew that people who had been neglected needed someone to be that close as a comfort. And she was comfortable with being that close to him. "This all right?" she asked, quietly.

Zeion smiled and then said."Yes this is very nice Tiy" Zeion said holding her slightly in his arms after all this seems so perfect. Just them and Jez laying down. Zeion looked over at Tiy he felt so strongly drawn to her and being this close felt nice. If it wasn't the fact they just met Zeion could swear he felt like kissing her. But he did not."Tiy thank you for being here...I am liking this feeling."He said trying to see her face.
Zeion felt that Tiy could be the only one worth truly knowing after her kindness and her comfort he actually enjoyed. This moment feels just right.

Tiy smiled as she cuddled up to the new friend. He told her that this was very nice and she laughed lightly. "It's always nice to have someone near. But yes... nice..." She paused as she thought for a minute. She realized that this was a very couple thing to do, but she could feel his want for her to be close. And there was nothing wrong with friends sitting like this. She had done it a few times before with other friends, both guys and girls, but this time it was different. It was the first time that she had felt that he needed her there. The other times, it was just flirting, just staying warm, or just getting close because there were too many people on one couch. She smiled lightly at the memories and then his words broke her train of thought.
"Tiy thank you for being here...I am liking this feeling."
Tiy smiled and she felt him move as if he were trying to see her. She turned a bit and looked at him, a smile on her face and her eyes lit up. "You're welcome Zeion..." she smiled, looking into his eyes and then looked away for a moment and then came back, her lips parting to say something, but then closing when she wasn't sure how to say what she wanted to say. She looked back at the fire and them smiled.
"Shall I read us a bedtime story?" she gave a light giggle.
