Wow.. it's actually nice here... *She said as she looked around. Surprised by how much Foliage remained in this cold land. Albeit most of it is dead this time around. And wonders to herself if it grows during springtime. Or if it's always dead...*

Well... There's a Village all the way over there with a lake and some docks. Maybe we can walk around and check out their shops, if any. It's already sunset so... I don't think Kayaking is the better option... Maybe see if someone can rent a decent rowboat to us for the night? Just... Go out on the lake with a lantern. A few snacks and drinks.. and wait to see the Northern lights?... I've always wanted to see them in person.. after watching a few things.

That sounds like a good plan to me. Maybe we can find a little cafè and grab a hot chocolate, something to warm us up before we head out on the lake.

Shut up.. *She muttered as they approached. Looking around. Admiring the reflection of the setting sun on the lake. And the odd comfort this small village seems to give her. It felt tranquil. Homey. The exact opposite of where she was from.. and she loves it.*

Going to be a long awkward date if I do that....... Now... let's see if we can't get you that cocoa.

Sounds good to me.. *She said. Still trying not to smile again. Or at least as little as possible. Looking at the small markets around. Butchers. Fishing supplies. Produce. Though they live in such a harsh climate they still manage to get all they could ever need. And it kind of amazed her. Though she was soon distracted by the pleasant aroma of the cafe.*

So.... if the goal is to get to know each other a bit. Why don't you start by telling me some of the things you've learned to enjoy since *pretending to be modest since he's the one that did it* being freed from Graz'zt's place?

*Hearing his name mentioned she couldn't help but dig her nails into the wood of their table. Leaving a few scratch marks. And turned to look at him. But trying to keep herself calm she just took a deep breath* Well.. Since being Taken from.. "His" Place.. and coming here.. I've learned to enjoy eating actual, Good food. The outdoors. Nothing like the hells. It's much nicer.. having access to Books and learning things I wouldn't have otherwise.. I guess just about everything...

Saphire BOT 12/12/2024 16:53
Besides just the feeling of Freedom? Not really... Though I guess I could say writing is one thing... After I read some books from your library. I found a certain comfort in a few. And decided to write a bit for myself. I guess it's just kind of a way to vent...

Well i'd like to start with How you see women. what you think their purpose is or should be. and if you actually care about them or just like to collect them for the sake of it... *She said. Handing him the other half of her Grilled cheese.*
Avatar
Araavos BOT 12/12/2024 17:27
Yes, I do like to collect them. But not for the reasons you would think. I can create beings from nothing. I can force them to love me, serve me, I can fulfil any need or desire I have. But when they come to me, using the free will they have. And give themselves to me, whether that be a small part of themselves, or everything that they are. That's special... It's when life creates it's own things, and then those things are given to me. That's something I don't take for granted. A homecooked meal, not made with magic, but with passion and a desire to feed another person.... When two people find each other, love each other and it manifests with a child of their own. Creating life for themselves... That's special.

Avatar
Araavos BOT 12/12/2024 17:33
As for their purpose. It's whatever they choose that purpose to be. Sometimes, yes, I choose for them, but again, As i've stated, sometimes I fulfil my own pleasures and desires. But that's another topic for another time, unless you truly wish to know now. One thing you must know, if you learn nothing else, is that I don't keep secrets, and I don't tell lies. Yes the truth can be jarring, but It serves no purpose to lie. Because then you're just not being yourself.

You may as well get it out while we're here... before we get out on that boat.

Araavos BOT 12/12/2024 17:38
Alright then. I can be worse than your former master at times to certain individuals, I have kidnapped, raped, tortured, killed. Some I still keep as unwilling sexual slaves and breeders. The difference is though. I have a rule, a guideline by which I follow in everything that I do. And that is, there is a balance to this universe. It's all a give and take. No matter how much I may take for myself, I give just as much if not more back in return. If I take a child, i'll build an orphanage. If I kill a mother, a woman who could bare no children may have that affliction "miraculously" cured. If I take a whole family, the community may thrive. Wipe an entire civilization, a new one can begin to take shape.

*Fiddling with her hot cocoa. looking into the cup and then back up at him* I.. i see.... Hm... Gr- er.. "He" Certainly didn't think that way. he just took.. and took. and took. the only thing given was pain. but.. maybe you aren't... quite like him after all...
Avatar
Araavos BOT 12/12/2024 17:44
Take your sister for example, the one who didn't even have a name when she was brought here. I took her, put her in a cage, and treated her how she expected, because she needed that familiarity... but....the difference...... The difference is... I took care of her.... I made sure she was healthy, fed, warm, as comfortable as she could be. And you know what happened? Do you know where she is right now? I'll tell you... Right now... as we speak, she's curled up in my lap, on a sofa, watching the fireplace. And she's resting.

Like I said, it's a give and take. I took her, but now... she's getting herself back... Just sometimes it's harder to see these things. Most tend to only focus on what was taken. And refuse to look around them at what they've found. *stands up* Like when I found you... *offers her his hand*

I would love nothing more that to get a chance to see you at your best... And should you accept this. I'll make every moment, one towards bringing you there... Will you marry me?

*Her eyes widened. and began to water as she looked at him. and then the ring. though now she was trembling.. but it wasn't the cold. she was clearly hesitant. as this was all so new.. but she couldn't deny she had begun feeling something besides disdain for him. maybe it's love? Is this what that's suppose to feel like? is this what it is? what it means? she doesn't know.. but she's willing to give him a chance... so she Slowly moves her finger through the Ring.* Y-yes.. I will.

The darkness, that which isn't known.. Often is scary, *he takes her to space, then to a void, no light at all* But if you hold on to the light within your heart, the feeling that brought you to the edge of this void to begin with.. Suddenly..... *he snaps his finger and a single point of light appears off in the distance* you have a beacon. And when you follow it.. *it gets closer, and closer, and closer* You find yourself bathed in it's warmth.. *as a view of the heavens appears around them momentairly, until it fades, revealing that they're now sitting in the boat, back on the lake*
