Nine Hearts of Destiny

"You know it'd be ok. We're professionals but we're also both adults you know." Nerina winks as she begins to swim out. "Besides, it's not like you're the only one who wants to."

[Noble 6]

"I know, I'm just playing coy." He says laughing.
"I've been meaning to ask you out for a while. But training keeps my scheduling very tight. You know?...however it would just be nice to relax, if you're willing."he says with a friendly smile. He sinks under the water,and surfaces a instant later at her side.
"Favorite water trick."

[Dynamax]

"I already asked you to lunch, but I can do supper too if you like." Nerina says. "That's not bad for a dabbler. Buoyancy is not easy for some." Nerina does a chant in her native language as the water starts to glimmer like a rainbow. "Something my kind does for fun." She says before leaning in and kissing Artorus on the cheek. "I'm glad you asked by the way."

"I've...tried..."Zain says saddly "But, you know her best...I'll...try not to try so hard." he thinks a moment He's not as scary as I remember...or Nabiki has made him seem...

[Dynamax]

"Good." Nobunaga rises. "And keep what I said in mind. I would not wish to have to get mad at you over hurting her. That's how I gain new heads for my lawn." He looks at his wounds again. "Take this time to heal, a wounded man cannot fight as well as a healthy one. If you are kinder on yourself you will find the strength you seek." He then begins to head off.

"Be mindful that i am about to tell her I revealed her secret. She will be...angry. It's because of me, do not take it personally if she snaps at you or is frightened. Be there for her and be understanding and it will pass. Good bye, son of Drakmord." He then leaves, steeling himself for Nabiki's reaction.

Zain closes his door and sits on his bed silently.

"He talked like a freaking fortune cookie." Kalsifer says, returning to his normal, invisibe and silent state. "How you feeling kiddo?"

"What do I do Kalsifer?....I can't just move on...but, I don't know if I can take having a realtionship where..."

"You don't get her to yourself?"

"Yeah...that just doesn't seem fair...What do I do?"

"Well, you have a few options: you can give up on her all together, not give up on her and just live with the fact that you have to share." he then grins very deviously "Or...you could take the more beneficial route."

"What's that?"

"What do you think of Kami?"

"You don't mean..."

"Yeah! Why not, it's every male's dream."

Zain leans back on his bed. "I...don't know."

((OOC: 3 days = 3 pages. Maybe I should start announcing when I go on trips even if no one is posting a lot when I leave...))

"Not at first if that's what you're thinking.," Kami answered with a smile. "I'm not that easy to win over. But...well, after hanging around with you through this whole thing with Kris and Zain, I started to feel like they were going about it all wrong. They just fought over you, passively, were kinda pushy and all that. I mean, yeah, they had a right to be annoyed since it was 4 months, but I felt like they didn't really, well, know you like I did. And then I just sort of realized that I liked you and...kinda had for a while. There wasn't really a defining moment I guess, it just sort of happened."

((OOC: But yeah, let's just try and finish up this thing with Nobunaga, Nabiki, and Kami here Dynamax so Ice can move us forward a couple days and advance the plot. I got plenty of free time so...nothing stopping me.))

[Dynamax]

(OOC: I'm actually good, we can assume what happens here, unless ou want me to Outer since it'd affect you. I'm good with talking out how it goes via PM and having us reflect ont hat after the jump)
