A Reunion of the Most Spontaneous [Private: Siegharty]

‘Knock knock knock’

It seems someone decided to randomly bang against Arianda’s door uncaring for if there was a doorknob or a better way to go about it. Whoever it was, though, has a heavy fist as their knocking seemed to echo within the large home. Well, that’s probably just how mansions are though; all big and hollow inside; easy for sounds to bounce around if you’re in the right area.

However, knowing how powerful Arianda is, there is little doubt the demon knows who is at her door just by senses alone; a familiar feeling that seems a bit more potent and stronger from the last time these two have met. There’s also something else; a slight difference. Maybe it’s the fact that this woman at her door now has two swords strapped to her back by bandages.

Elyss, is here, and she really should get a more proper way to carry her Zanpakutos around besides wrapping them up and tossing them behind her back. The dude in her head is always pissy about that. Maybe she does it just to peeve him. Anyway, she’s here at Ari’s place for no apparent reason dressed casually in black jeans, a white shirt with a black leather jacket on. Her red hair is the same as always. She never changes it much; just a simple combing before stepping outside. Guess that’s just how easy it is for someone with naturally straight hair.

This begs the question however; what is Elyss doing here? Asking her that would get no answer though, for Elyss doesn’t even know why she’s here. She was just walking around per usual and happened to be in the area. It had been a while since she’d last experienced Ari; the memories of such still cause her discomfort in a more sensual form. Yet, Elyss had moved on from that experience and no longer feels any need or want for going through such again. She is here to simply check up on a friend, and in her mind, nothing more. She hopes Ari doesn’t attempt anything funny while she’s here. Elyss doesn’t want to regret stopping by to catch up.

“Hurry up.”

The 5’5” redhead is a bit impatient. If Ulv were to come by and see her here, no doubt that woman would run her mouth in ways to embarrass her. Even with that in mind, Ulv could just appear whenever she pleases without warning to do the same, so Elyss will never feel truly at ease about this with the thought that both Ari and Ulv may suggest things she doesn’t want to think about right now. So, with her mind set up on how she wants this to go, she just waits for whoever to open the door. Maybe Ari had gained a maid or some woman while they had been apart. Does Ari even like men? Elyss would be surprised, honestly, if a guy opened the door.

As if Elyss expected for Arianda to have such wants. Why would the redhead suspect anyone to want to actually go out and find her for any reason besides Ulv? Hell. Elyss couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason why she even attempts to visit others. Yeah. They wouldn’t be angered by her dropping by, but, no doubt, they’d have been fine without her with or without her presence. So, no. When Arianda exploded from her mansion pulling Elyss into a most spontaneous, the redhead was completely caught off guard by the sudden event unable to react at that exact moment.

Of course, from there, things continued to bewilder her, as even before she could do anything, she finds herself inside the home. Then, the kiss ended in moments that felt like minutes. Now, she has the shorter woman digging into her neck with her head lovingly. To be honest, Elyss felt she should have seen this coming, but she figured her demeanor would have been enough to let Ari know that she wasn’t here for any of that tomfoolery. She should have guessed Ari would have instantly jumped at the chance to get close without even trying to read the mood in the air. The little demon seemed compulsive to her desires more so than Elyss is with her anger.

“Thinking about me? Eh… Thanks, but let’s not… kiss me like that again, okay?”

Elyss isn’t angry. She’s more annoyed than angry. Ari meant no harm by anything she did, so getting angry seemed a bit pointless, and, no doubt, Ari probably expected for her kiss to be received more positively. Though, Elyss doesn’t think too much about it, for if she does, she’d only fluster herself and remember that day that seemed so long ago. She’d like this moment to simply be a friendly experience.

So, off to the couch she finds herself. It reminds her of last time. Ari’s little suggestion of how to handle her mental issues. Yeah. That didn’t work so well at all in the long run. With a sigh, Elyss takes a seat and takes a moment to fix up her hair some. Long hair is an annoyance at times. She should try tying it up or something to keep it from her eyes.

“I’m just here because I was nearby. It’s been a while. Just thought I could drop by and check up on you. I’m not here for anything scandalous though, Ari. So, let’s refrain ourselves.”

Despite the slight grumble in her words, she does end up giving the woman a small smile before tossing the swords on her back to the ground carelessly. Well, she didn’t like the harsh words her Zanpakuto had about what just occurred.

“As you can see, I’ve kind of… grown a bit… gained new quirks about myself. Just go curious about yourself is all.”

Seeing feel bad for her actions caused Elyss to feel a bit bad; a bit. The woman won’t learn what she can and can’t do without Elyss putting her foot down though. Her and Ulv seem good at keeping their space once boundaries have been set, but she feels that both of them also suck at remembering to not do anything weird. Ari would be more apologetic about it though while Ulv would probably just shrug it off. There’s nothing to say when Ari apologizes, so she focuses on the next words from her.

Her hair? Elyss moves a hand and runs it through her long red hair that is actually spilling onto the couch a bit. When did it get so long? She frowns some before sighing and nods to Ari.

“Fine. I’m gonna cut it eventually, but for now. You can tie it up.”

Elyss didn’t care how it got put up for now, and was glad for it to be in a bit of a high ponytail that kept any hair from her eyes. She, then, shrugs and gives a thumbs up.

“Well, if you say you’ll not randomly kiss me and take off your bottoms when I’m around, I’m fine with that. I don’t really think I’m going to jump at any chance to do anything with you. I… I kind of want to stay out of spontaneous sex conquests.”

She chuckles lightly shaking her head and finds herself lightly blushing at the compliment to her growth. She didn’t think about it much, but she knows she’s not as bad as she was so long ago. Well, how long has it been? She hasn’t really kept up with the days, but moving on from that, she moves to her thoughts. There’s a certain feeling she’s getting from Ari; something similar to another.

“Hey. Ari. I’ve grown a bit, and I can kind of sense another’s energy somewhat. I’ve never thought about it, but you feel a bit similar to a demon I talked to.”

She notes tilting her head and connecting a bit of dots. Though, she waits for the other to explain her scent and feel to the redhead. If Ari is, in fact, a demon, then, that changes nothing.

Ari may say she’s not that type of individual, but Elyss’ main issue here in the fact that a simple yes would have the woman all too giddy. Though, who wouldn’t be giddy when the prospect of sex is brought up. It is an intimate moment meant to bring out one’s emotions; an act that is meant to fill the body with boundless pleasure. Some beings even survive off of such pleasures and have means of increasing it between their partner and them. Yes. Sex is dangerous which she has learned from Ulv. Not dangerous per say fatal, but dangerous in how it changes people if used in certain ways. Maybe Elyss is just too shy to go through such things again. Maybe she’s embarrassed by her lack of skill. Maybe she’s also somewhat afraid of Ari’s power. It would be a lie to say that any attraction is gone because one’s mind isn’t that simple or easy to control. Elyss just hates how easy it is for everyone to throw themselves at a good time, and she’s fighting such urges even though she gets invited time after time after time to indulge in them. There has to be some annoyance in there with the fact she’s hit on so much. Yeah. She’s just not being stubborn, is she?

Either way, she has already said her mind and turned this meeting away from the idea of intercourse. However, Ari’s mind is probably still going to be gravitating towards fun times in bed or on the couch… or anywhere for that matter. There’s no suppression with Elyss anyway besides her resistance to fun times. She’s as blunt, angry, and monotone as she has always been; a bit of more expressions here and there, but she still prefers watching and daydreaming. Maybe that’s another reason she’s not as drawn to sex as others.

Elyss moves a hand and looks at the braid blinking a bit and feeling a bit bad about thinking of cutting it. Ari did a good job a bit too good of a job. Though, finally. They’re talking about why Ari feels like a demon, and of course, there isn’t much surprise to this reveal. Elyss has already met a strange; one that called her cute much like everyone else the redhead has interacted with. Also, one who grew eyeballs on her body and can make wishes that come true or something.

When Ari changed, all she got was a raised brow at how completely different her true form looked to how she walks around. Talk about a makeover. For a second, Elyss felt a bit peeved at Ari for changing herself so much from her actual look. Horns? White hair? Blue eyes? A whole new outfit? Demons are interesting beings that Elyss feels like learning more about. She can’t stay peeved for long truthfully. It makes sense Ari wouldn’t want people to know of what she is. Demons in culture were never portrayed as the good guys, and through reading of a few books and looking at current events, demons are causing issues in the world. That, however, doesn’t change one thing Elyss has about herself.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a demon. You’re Arianda. That’s all that matters. You helped trained me some and took my first. It would take a lot more than a change of hair to make me not want to be around you. Besides, if I was so prejudiced, I doubt I’d be able to even stand being around my own race. Every individual is different from one another, so even if their race has a bad reputation, I will judge each person differently.”

She just said a bit, but that’s how she is. Quiet and thoughtful one second, talkative and rowdy the next.

She reaches and takes Ari’s hand again squeezing it slightly for a bit of extra reassurance and actually reaches with her other to pat the demoness’ head. Somehow, she wore a stoic face throughout this random moment of intimacy, but she is fighting back a blush and failing a bit.

“Just don’t grow eyeballs all over your body like the other one. That was weird, and if I am to ask anything… Do all demons change their forms so easily?”

She should have expected another hug after explaining what she thinks about Ari. It’s a pretty tight hug too that has her struggling to breath a bit. It’s taking way too long as well. She felt like saying something but speaking was a bit difficult without the ability to catch her breath. Luckily, Ari pulled back eventually.

“Overexcited? Yeah. Just… just know that I appreciate you as a person, but you’re really going to have to control yourself.”

She takes some breaths and rubs at her own face a bit wondering how she’s always getting involved with such outrageous individuals. Though, who knows how many of them think of herself as quite the quirky person. Anyway, Elyss shifts her thoughts to the next words from Ari.

Clothes? Well, that’s one way to explain it. Elyss nods somewhat understanding that shifting is also a demon by demon thing, but there is also a certain similarity that all demons share. One should just worry about the complexity and depth on how they wish their shifting to be. Train and you’ll be good at it. Don’t train, and it’ll just be something you just happen to have the ability to do.

“Well, I don’t really have any questions beyond that. How has the Harbour been for you? What do you enjoy about this world and place? Let’s move on from demons and simply focus on Ari.”

If one cannot fathom something about the topic, then, maybe it is time to shift topics. And, that is what Elyss does deciding to learn more about this particular demon than about demons in general. Ulv is a generous person, but she is also strict and hard in her beliefs. Not just any person can reside here. So, that simply made her curious about Ari and what about this woman has her a friend of Ulv. Hopefully, it isn’t the fact that they both like bedding women.
