In the mountain's winter halls. (open)

[Ethar Luxun]

Smiling weakly as Ohkara made excellent timing in going upstairs to get the medical ointment he always had made, and came back down with it. Lifting his shirt up, and started to apply the ointment to the wound, the ointment turned a bit pink as it was mixed in with Ethar's blood. This also caused Ethar to flinch a bit in pain as the cooling ointment was applied to his wound. Of course, If Ohkara took a moment to look at the 'rest' of him, she would see that Ethar's chest was more then perfect, it looked like something straight out of a Male underwear models catalog.

"I-Its alright Miss Ohkara... T-Though I must...ugh...admit..." He started to say, as he reached up, and wiped some blood from his mouth.

"Y-You are the first woman to get THIS close to me." He added, trying to laugh but he ended up coughing a bit on his own blood. "Ngh, B-But Im curious... What did that Delethan say to you before you attacked her?" He asked, curious as to what had started the entire fight, ending with Ethar getting stabbed.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Ohkara feigned a weak smile as she dressed his wound, had the situation been different, she might have taken a second to admire the man's perfect abs, but the situation being what it was, she didn't. Tears still gathering in the corners of her eyes, she winced as Ethar began to cough. Gently wiping the newly formed blood from his lips with a finger, she shushed him; only for him to ask about the fight she'd gotten into.

Wincing lightly, she shook her head, her cheeking flushing with a very light pink, ”She told me she was going to kill you, Ethar...” she said, a weak chuckle escaping her lips, ”And then she poisoned me... Actually... I'm kinda surprised I'm okay...”

Finishing with his front, Ohkara carefully shuffled around him, and gently propped him forwards to dress the exit wound as well, ”She told me that she'd killed you before, you know?” she added, her tone dark, and somewhat flat, ”I'll make sure that crazy bitch gets what's coming to her...” she growled, her tone shifting even darker, words like venom, ”I'll teach her to use me like a puppet.”

In reality such a threat was an empty one; she had no idea where the alien-woman had gone, or how she might track her down. But with the off chance the two met again, Ohkara would be sure to make her pay. Swearing under her breath, the woman tried to shake off her anger; however, there was still a trace amount of toxins coursing through her blood that made this seem nearly impossible.

”Tell me something, Ethar,” she asked, trying to peace things together, ”I think she used the same poison from that plant I touched the last time I was here... You told me that that plant was from your home world, right? Do you know who that woman was?”

[Ethar Luxun]

"She... wanted you out of the way to get to me I think... But she said she killed me before? Something isnt right here... " He said, as Ohkara leaned him forward to continue dressing the stab wound that she created by accident. When he heard her say that she intended to get revenge on her, Ethar groaned a bit and replied "Dont...Nothing good comes from revenge... It... Poisons the soul..."

"Same poison as... the plant... Oh! W-When you were poisoned the first time, and I cured you of it, The poison actually forced your body to begin developing a resistance to it. As the Earthling phrase goes, What doesnt kill you, makes you stronger, is quite accurate in this case." He said, as it occurred to him that by helping Ohkara be cured of the poison the first time, he not only saved her life once, but TWICE now. With a smirk, he knew the gods would certainly favour him when the afterlife would come calling on him.

But when Ohkara asked him if he knew who the woman was, he shook his head. "I do not know her personally, but I know WHAT she is. On Nor, She is known as a 'Delethan', a sinister dark demon from the underworld. There are several different types of Delethans, each with some type of supernatural power. They are usually only found on Nor, but the fact that this one is here on Earth... Something terrible is happening in the universe... And I dont think any of my history books covered anything like this..."

[Ohkara Minamaru]

His words against revenge fell on deaf ears; Ohkara didn't care what he had to say on the matter. Her mind was already made up. If, no... when, the two met, she would make Adriana pay. She was a puppet to no one, and she wouldn't ever stand by and let someone use her as one.

”That makes sense...” she huffed, referring to the man's comments about the toxins, ”But I still don't feel... at one-hundred-percent...” her eyes fluttered, and her neck nearly went limp for a second, but she was quick to catch herself. Finishing dressing his wounds, she grabbed hold of her towel, ripping a nice strand from the bottom before wrapping it around him.

”D-do you think... She has something...” as her adrenaline wore off, her real situation became more and more apparent. Deluded or not, it was a powerful toxin, one that even with immunity would bare side effects, ”... To do with that sudden drop in our... Powers you told me... about?” Her brow rose in question, but her body went limp, slumping against the wall behind the two. Raising a shaking hand, she wiped the man's blood from it before dipping it into the salve, and raising it back to he mouth.

Shuttering lightly at the thought of the taste, she let out a sharp breath, and put a decent amount into her mouth. Choking against the disgusting, bitter flavor, she nearly lost her cool, spitting a fair share out with a violent gag. Huffing, she placed the remaining salve on her fingertips into her mouth, and chewed; careful not to swallow. This time she would do a better job at fighting back her disgust.

”I-I think I... Need a drink...” she moaned, shaking her head, her body moving forwards just enough to rest on the Noran's broad shoulders, ”Some booze sounds... really good about now... You wouldn't happen to... Have any, would you?” letting out a weak, but playful giggle, she gently nuzzled against the man; her energy far to low at the moment to do much else.

[Ethar Luxun]

"They, might be connected somehow... but now, Im not worried about it." He said, as Ohkara finished dressing his wounds. Looking over to her, He saw how weak the poison had made her, as she tried to chew on something that had his blood in it, but was disgusted by the taste. He had no idea what she was doing, but when she asked if he had any booze, he nodded softly.

"I-I do, In the master bedroom. I-Ill show ya." He weakly said, as he used the strength he had to pull himself up to his feet, and then he pulled Ohkara up, and wrapped her arm around his shoulder and neck, preventing her from falling. "Alcohol might not be the best thing for you though, Miss O-ohkara..." He said, as he struggled to carry the poisoned girl to the master bedroom, where a large bed with dark covers was, with a night table on each end.

Feeling the pain in his chest overwhelm him, Ethar dropped Ohkara on his bed as he fell onto his bed himself, rolling over clutching his chest in pain. "Ok, that wasnt a good idea.... T-There... is a flask in my nightstand on the r-right side of the bed... Its i-imported from Nor... I-I smuggled it when I came here... Its really sweet tasting, but it has 'booze' in it." He said, as the pain in his chest slowly faded, but still lingered.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

To her surprise, Ethar seemed to have enough strength to pick her up, and drape her arm around his shoulder. She couldn't help but admire his resolve; even after being stabbed, he acted like quite the gentleman. A light pink touched her cheeks as the two headed up the stairs; she, of course was not just dead weight, and did her best to aid him in his struggle.

Reaching the bedroom, Ohkara flopped onto the bed with a audible huff; Ethar landing next to her. Grabbing his chest, he mentioned his flask, and the young girl's eyes brightened for a moment. Quickly turning, she took only a second to locate the item, before turning back towards the Noran. Opening the top, she sniffed it, then took a man-sized swig. To her surprise, the liquor inside was sweet to the taste; almost like a nectar. Without knowing exactly what it was, the closest thing she could compare it to was the way she'd read the Norse write about their meed.

Letting out a light giggle, she took another swig, then offered it to the Noran; upon seeing his grimace of pain, her face twisted to one of pity. She was to blame for his suffering and she knew it. Scooting towards him, she carefully rested her head on his chest, letting out a sigh, ”Ethar...” she asked. In all honesty she was already beginning to feel the effects of the booze; such effects were only amplified by the poison in her system, ”I-I... I really didn't mean... for this to happen...” she muttered; the cocktail brewing in her veins was already kicking in high gear. Her eyelids fluttered as she did her best to look the brown-haired man in the eyes, ”P-please don't... hate me for it...” her tone was one of pure guilt, as if she truly believed the Noran wouldn't forgive her; why would he, though? She had nearly taken his life...

[Ethar Luxun]

Breathing softly, he watched as Ohkara nabbed his ebony flask from his, then doubled down with another swig of his drink. He could tell she was tired from the poison, and his drink was making her more tired. He heard her voice, so he looked down at her. She begged him not to hate her, and he smile softly as he replied "M-Miss Ohkara, its perfectly fine. I can understand why it happened. D-Dont dwell on it, and rest. Your body will filter out the toxin in good time." as he crawled ont oteh bed more, and rested his head on a pillow.

He reached down, and attempted to help Ohkara onto the bed, into a more comfortable position before she would pass out as well. "Might as well rest on the bed beside me. Cant have you falling over and hitting your h-head." He said, as he held his hand out, as he hoped she would accept his help to get comfortable on the bed. "I could never hate you Miss Ohkara. Never. My feelings are.... quite the opposite of hate, I must admit." He said, as his soft smile was accompanied with somewhat reddened cheeks.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Gently grasping his hand, she listened to his kind words. He had no harsh feelings against her; even stating his feelings were quite the opposite of hate. Ohkara's face brightened, a smirk crossing her soft lips as she watched the man's face turn light pink. This was the first time he'd shown any real interest in the young woman, and even in her drunken stupor, this would be something she'd never forget; the reward to the work she'd put into flirting with him, even if that had very little to do with it.

Nuzzling closely against his neck, she whispered seductively into his ear, ”I can't tell if you're trying to be cute, or just really dumb,” A giggle escaping her mouth, it would reveal she was only teasing. Perking her head up, she would look him in the eyes, her bright yellow eyes kind as always, ”You have no idea how happy that makes me...” her tone trailed off at the end, her eyelids slowly closing as her face neared Ethar's.

Her soft pink lips would gently press against his, giving him a passionate kiss as a reward for his kindness. After a few moments, she would back away, resting her head back against his shoulder, facing nuzzling back against his neck, giving him one final seductive kiss against his flesh before the booze, toxin, and exhaustion got the best of her. She'd be quietly snoring only moments later, leaving Ethar with his thoughts. This slumber would also reveal exactly how clingy the young woman was in her sleep, quickly kicking a leg up over the man's, her arm resting over his midsection, fingers wrapping tightly against his waist. There was no doubt that he would be stuck were he laid for the night.

[Ethar Luxun]

Smiling after Ohkara whispered in his ear, he replied "Just being honest." as he looked into Ohkara's yellow eyes with his own ocean blue eyes.

He saw that she started to close her eyes, and lean in closer to his face. He had read about what was about to happen, and never experienced it himself first, but before he could think, He felt Ohkara's lips upon his own. Sharing his very first kiss with Ohkara, Ethar only wished that he hadnt been stabbed earlier, and that she wasnt passing out. Or else they both would of enjoyed that moment together.

A few moments later, Ohkara broke the kiss and rested her head on his shoulder and nuzzled his neck. Smiling still, Ethar put his arm around her and let her drift off into a slumber. Seconds later, he felt her own arm around his waist, and her legs locking with his. Surprised at how pinned he was, he shrugged it off. He then realized how nude Ohkara was, with only a towel covering her, he was glad he wasnt exploding from a nose bleed again.

With a sigh of releif, Ethar also drifted off to sleep, happy to know that he now had a girlfriend. A beautiful girlfriend named Ohkara Minamaru....

(End of the Day. You can now post after their sleep. Hehe.)

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Ohkara's breath caught in her throat, her eyes opening wide. Body jerking upwards as if in shock. A look of serious panic was plastered on her face, however it would fade after a few moments. Letting out a sigh, she'd wipe a bit of sweat from her forehead, chuckling a bit at how stupid she must have looked. ”Whew... It was only a dream...” she whispered, recalling how real it had all felt.

However, it had been no dream; she'd been poisoned, fought against a demon-woman, and stabbed her friend Ethar. None of that was a dream. Glancing around the room, she began to realize just that. Thankfully, she also realized that that was all in the past. Turning her attention to her own body, she realized she was wearing no clothes. A bright pink crossed her face, as she pulled the sheet up from her toes to cover herself. It was then that she realized she was not alone.

Laying in the bed next to her, snoring lightly, a stupid grin on his face was the brown-haired Noran man. Ohkara's eyes widened, she couldn't remember how she got into the bed, nor did she remember anything afterwards; all she knew is she was naked, and sharing a bed with a pervert. Her pinkish-cheeks turned many shades darker, her eyes narrowing at the man, ”Why you...” she muttered, shifting in the bed.

”YOU PERVERT!!!” she roared, her feet lashing out with a powerful kick, aimed to sent the young man flying off the bed towards the wall opposite of her. Jumping off the bed, she tossed the sheet aside, standing in an offensive stance, ”You think you can just take advantage of a girl, just like that, do you!?” she roared once more, her power level sky-rocketing, messy green hair raising with her toxic-green aura as it whirled around her, ”I'll teach you!”

Raising a hand to the sky, the naked woman pointed her palm upwards, ”Destructo Disc!” she roared, a violent frisbee-like disc forming just above her palm. Snarling, the young lady hastily flung the disc towards the man; her aim likely off from her rage. Nonetheless, if Ethar wanted to keep his manhood, he would need to react quickly.

[Ethar Luxun]

Ethar was having a pleasant dream that morning, and it wasnt what Ohkara was thinking. But it was interrupted when he was kicked off of his own bed, and he landed on the floor with a thud. Sharp pains lashed out from his wound,causing it to break open again, slowly staining his already bloodied bandage with more blood.

"ngh, What in gods name are you..." He started to say, but Ohkara yelled at him, calling him a pervert. He slowly got up to his feet, showing to Ohkara that Ethar still had most of his clothes on, except his shirt. This allowed Ohkara anotehr look at his 'perfect' upper body, as well as the wound on his chest that had begun to bleed again.

His eyes shot open wide as her energy rose up high, and she formed a disc of energy within her hands and threw it at him. An attack like that would slice a regular person in half, and even if Ethar dodged it, it would destroy a good part of his home. THAT was something he wouldnt handle, so he waited for the disc to get close, before moving to the left, but his reflexes were slow that morning, as he felt the energy cut into his left arm. Biting his lip through the pain, Ethar raised his otehr arm, and fired a short burst of energy that caused the disc to destabilize and vanish before it took out his wall. Luckily, the attack only caused a minor amount of the wood to get burned and vaporized. Repairs that he coudl easily do, if Ohkara didn't kill him.

"O-Ohkara! Stop! Please! Nothing happened after you passed out... atleast, I dont think anything happened. I fell asleep shortly after you did!" He said, clutching his now bleeding arm.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Her attack was quickly destroyed by the young Noran; however, there was minor damage done to his arm in the process. Pleading with her, his tone radiated innocence, but the young lady had a hard time calming her temper. Blinking as he tried to explain himself, the young lady's hand rose again, yet another disc forming, this one though, she'd not be so quick to throw.

”You think!?” she roared, shaking her head, ”I'm gonna need a more concrete explanation than that!” Of course, that was probably something he wouldn't be able to give her. Shaking her head again, the naked girl did her best to make since of the situation. Slowly things would begin to fall into place.

Scanning an eye over the young man, she caught sight of his bleeding, something that she'd missed before. First, the wound she'd just inflicted on his arm, then the bloodied bandage wrapped around his chest. Guilt panged through her, and tears welled in the corner of her eyes. Energy dissipating, the green-haired girl took a step forwards, although there was still much doubt in her mind, ”I need you to be honest with me, Ethar...” she told him, shaking her head again as the energy disc vanished, arms falling to her sides, ”You- We didn't... Did we?” she asked, hoping the young man would tell her what she needed to hear.

If he answered honestly, with a more solid answer than thought, she would rush to him, and wrap her arms around him, begging him to forgive her once again. She never intended to hurt him, but her rage was something she had little control over. Plus, being naked as she was, there was very little explanation to what might have happened; even now such a reaction didn't seem like an overreaction.

[Ethar Luxun]

Ethar was about to give her a more clearer explanation as to what had happened, but he saw that she seemed to calm down a bit, as tears started to well up in her eyes again. ”I need you to be honest with me, Ethar...You- We didn't... Did we?” She asked him, making him a bit confused.

"Of course M-Miss Ohkara, Im always honest... As for what happened last night, we shared a most wonderful kiss, but that was mostly it. You kissed my neck for a second, before falling asleep. I to fell asleep shortly after. If that is what you were referring to..." He answered, showing Ohkara that he was still clearly somewhat clueless as to what she had actually been referring to. Although the fact that he was still wearing pants was sure enough to be a sign that he was telling the truth.

She rushed to hug him, pressing her naked self up against him, begging for forgiveness. "Its alright. The poison would of made memory a bit foggy anyways. B-But Im glad your still.... not...angry..." He said, as he finally realized that she was still naked, which brought back memories of what had happened near the end of their training. This caused Ethar to have another comical nosebleed again, but instead of passing out, Ethar quickly brought a hand up, and squeezed his nose shut.

"Might I quickly grab a tissue Miss Ohkara? It seems my nose is bleeding...again... I-I also have some spare clothes in the dresser opposite of the bed as well, if you would care to adorn yourself in something... less revealing?"

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Seeing the man's reaction to her nakedness, Ohkara gave him a playful shove in the good shoulder, before wiping the tears from her eyes. Sniffling lightly, she shook her head a little, ”You perv...” she sighed, her tone more flirtatious than anything else. Seductively standing back up, she spun to showcase her perfect curves, then strode to the dresser he'd referred to. The least she could do was give him a little peek at her hot body, ”Don't act like you don't like it. You're a horrible liar,” she teased.

Giving him one last wink over the shoulder, she flung the dresser doors open, and began riffling through it, bending at the waist for the last time, showing more than enough to likely make the man's nose bleed much, much worse. However, the moment would be brief, and in seconds, she would be draped in a long, plain shirt.

Turning back to the young man, she smiled lightly, ”Well, now that you've seen mine, how about you show me yours!?” she asked. The suggestion only a tease. He'd seen her completely naked now; there was no was she'd ever let him live that down, especially considering the reaction she always got from him.

Laughing, the young lady waved a hand in the air, ”Nah, I'm gonna go downstairs and get whats left of my clothing. How about you get yourself taken care of, then start some breakfast?” she cooed, striding towards the door. Passing the frame, she'd pop her head back in, and add with a giggle, ”Just don't have too much fun without me, okay?” and then headed for the sauna room, where her pants, weights, and umbrella-rapier were.

[Ethar Luxun]

As Ohkara continued to tease Ethar, he found it increasingly harder and hard to keep his nose from exploding. "But I am not lying..." he said, sounding funny since he had his nose plugged. He watched her show off her body, and his own started to show some excitement of its own, as at that moment, Ethar was wishing he wasnt wearing such tight jeans.

When she teased him about seeing her naked, and she wanted to see him naked, that acted as the catalyst for a super nosebleed. Blood erupted from his closed nose, forcing Ethar to make a dive for a tissue box, quickly covering his nose up. "I-I beg your pardon Ohkara?! That sort of behavior isnt normal until atleast the 6th or 7th date. This, I believe is only our.... second date I guess?" He said, still sounding funny due to his nose being closed up. He watched her get into a shirt, and tell him that she was going to get her other clothes, while he could start breakfast.

"Y-Yeah, Ill go do that. Ill get the fireplace going to, so its nice and comfy." He said, as she left to go collect her things. He cleaned up his nose, and put on a new shirt before he walked into his living room, stocked up the fire, as only a few coals were remaining.

Once that had been finished, he made his way back into the kitchen and started to crack open a few eggs into a frying pan, as well as opening up a package of bacon.
