[D2 LE] Learning Experiences CLOSED

[Ulrich Reyne]

His eyes stared her down to take in the full picture of her naked form. He delved into the artistry with a free hand, touching the canvas of her body of her frame in it's pure form.

It could also have be the increased blood flow circulating there, but he didn't want to wait. Neither did she, from what he could tell.

He grabbed her legs, lifted her up body up slightly, and moved to close the gap.

[Kaliya Redding]

"Yes," she purred, welcoming him, wrapping herself around him, drawing him in.

[Ulrich Reyne]

/Some time later/

His arms were wrapped up around her, keeping her close to his form as he slept. It was really cold outside, but the fire within the blankets was all he needed to stay worm despite it. It had been some time since he could sleep so soundly, truly. Beyond the attention of the Septa, such as that was, there was no one really there to be with.

He unconsciously pressed her body closer to his as his mind slowly started to stir awake from his slumber.

[Kaliya Redding]

Kaliya had dozed a little, entwined with Ulrich, she wasn't accustomed to being held like this, and it had conspired to keep her from her own sleep. She was already awake when he stirred, caressing the scars on his back with her eyes closed, feeling warm and comfortable, and oddly safe, I could get used to this. As he pulled her closer, she nestled in, nuzzling against him.

[Ulrich Reyne]

"Mmm..." It was a large sense of comfort as she moved in close. "Sorry, I nodded off there for a bit..." His voice was a bit wary after the recent event. He put a little bit of pressure on her for a moment as they meshed into each other. The heat of their bodies together. "...Though you are the perfect cure for a cold night, Kailya."

[Kaliya Redding]

"No need to apologise," she purred, continuing to trace his tortured flesh, the scars holding a fascination for her. "I have been quite enjoying the warrmth myself." Soon enough she would see if he could be stirred once more but, after the urgency of earlier, she felt a more languorous approach would be so much more enjoyable. "Comforrtable?"

[Ulrich Reyne]

He felt her hands on her, feeling the old scars of his battles. It a feeling he was used to; most people he was with tended to shy away from the scars. "The downside of being so strong is that everyone thinks they can take you. Whether on the battlefield or in the pub; doesn't matter." He looked down on her.

"Don't suppose you've been with too many people who have the scars to prove their battles."

[Kaliya Redding]

"No, I have not," Kaliya murmured, "altogetherr too many soft Lorrds who have forrgotten how to hold a blade. I like it," she purred, alternating between feather-light caresses and firmer touches. "Now that the purrpose of yourr visit has been answerred, for now," she promised, "perrhaps you would like to talk?"

[Ulrich Reyne]

He looked at her as he stroked her arm. "They do often tend to stand on ceremony with combat, forgetting the rush of battle, as well as the men who fought for them are alive as they are. A shame, really." Keeping your mind outward on the field took a true gift, but also caused many to not see the men who they lead die for them

He smiles down at her and looked at her. "Talking I can do. What do you want to talk about?"

[Kaliya Redding]

Twining one of her hands in his hair, "this tourrney harrdly seems worrthy of you, what brrought you all the way to Ashforrd, with the Algoods, no less?"

[Ulrich Reyne]

"Our Head House has asked that Reyes keep a eye out for the Algoods, given the incident not long ago. I was selected, so here I am. They are family, even if distant cousins, so I'm actually happy to help where I can."

He lifts head up as she felt her hands and smiled. It felt very relaxing for him. "Can't say that this place isn't all bad, though. By yourself, you've already given this tournament an incredible boost for me. Before then, the only thing I was looking forward to was the grand melee."

He levels his head back down over to her and grins. "What about you? Can't be just to sleep with the first Ser you come across. Though I can't complain if it was." A small chuckle left him and a larger grin appeared.

[Kaliya Redding]

"Then I hope I can continue to prrove enterrtaining." She raised an eyebrow and, teasingly, "but if I tell you my rreasons forr being in Ashforrd, you shall think me most drreadful. I have mourrned my late husband forr almost two yearrs, it is time forr the Dunns to find someone to take me off theirr hands."

[Ulrich Reyne]

He looks down at her, his smile fading. "My condolences, all the same." He could assume by the way she said it that the mourning period had ended. That, and she was lying naked and entwined with him.

"I don't think that's such a terrible attitude to have. You are still young, and it has been enough time to move on. Has your Lord started to make a move on this?"

[Kaliya Redding]

"It would be betterr if I could quietly brrokerr a suitable match beforre the Lorrd Commanderr notices an unwed Dorrnishwoman in his house and has me once morre married off to the lowest bidderr." Pressing her body closer to his, Kaliya kissed him firmly, "I would rratherr yourr smile than yourr condolences, but I thank you all the same."

[Ulrich Reyne]

His face turned to a smile as her lips pressed against hers.

"I know such a feeling, myself. I recently have come into my 30s. Sooner or later, the noose will come around my neck for a heir and family.

He sighs, lingering on the thought. "Truly a dream..." He then held her in close and sighed. The thought crossed his mind, if not but for a moment. How crazy would it be to suggest it, especially only meeting for one day?

He shook it off and stroked her arm, silently thinking. "So what is it that you are looking for? While you still have a choice, of course."

[Kaliya Redding]

Her hands wandered down his spine, "would you find it so terrible? a beautiful and vivacious woman by yourr side? in yourr bed? You need not pick some empty headed virrgin, surrely? Unless that is what you want," Kaliya teased.

Studying the man wrapped around her, "forr myself I would ask that he be strrong," she stroked his flank, "experrienced," fingers straying to his hip, "and not terrified of what a woman can do." Her hand moved to his rear, drawing him against her soft curves.

[Ulrich Reyne]

"Virginity is for those of the cloth and a king's bride, my dear. " He grins, feeling her pressed even closer. It seems as if that was a signal, one in which Ulrich's lower half started to get the message.

"As for that, well...I think I know a guy who could fit that staunch criteria. Thought he fit rather well the last time."

[Kaliya Redding]

Kaliya's body was elaborating on that message, moving gently, encouragingly, against him. "How fascinating," she purred, "you must tell me more about this man you have in mind. Can he apprreciate me the way I deserrve?"

[Ulrich Reyne]

"I think he could give it some consideration. Give both your needs and desires exactly what they both want." Ulrich leans in his face to hers and gives her lips a soft kiss before pulling away.

"Besides, if it doesn't work out.." He puts pressure on his body to stop her movements with a large grin on his face.

"...Well, I don't think it will be a total waste of either of your times."

Ulrich, continuing to smile, allows her hands to continue to set the pace.

[Kaliya Redding]

Her touch, the way her body moved against him, was slow and deliberate, "and what do you suppose this man should want in a wife? I must ensurre I will be able to live up to expectations."

[Ulrich Reyne]

"Well, that is easy." He continues to move to keep at her pace, his face slowly starting to turn red as the blood began to rush down once again. "He would want a wife who could be everything he can't be. He no doubt knows his limitations and where he can struggle to succeed, and having someone he can trust to make up for his shortcomings wouldn't be such a terrible thing. Someone who can respect him, and in return, someone he can respect as well."

He laughs at the thought of it. "Who knows, maybe all that can help form that all-to-coveted feeling of love. Marriage is supposed to be about that, after all."

[Kaliya Redding]

"It sounds like a prromising match, indeed," all except the love parrt, but I can worrk with that. "Mutual rrespect, cooperration and complimentation. 'Tis a wonderr this man has not be eagerrly claimed yet." And, with that, Kaliya decided that they had done just about enough talking. With practiced movements, she rolled him onto his back, straddling his hips, her lips beginning the long journey down his throat, his chest, his stomach.

[Ulrich Reyne]

"I'll be sure to let him..." he stops himself as she takes command, letting out a small moan as she began to kiss him. "...know about you." He smiles and looks down at her.

Really could get used to this.

He put his hands on her head and encouraged her along the path.

[Kaliya Redding]

With a smile, she continued in her task, ensuring that he had no reason to say anything further for quite some time.
