<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/42/Gaidin.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Galvren Valynar (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11585469#msg11585469)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Gaidin.<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>Suana Bemesta.<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Suana Bemesta.<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Evening, Saven 7th, 990NE.<br/><strong>Place:</strong>The Grounds, Secluded Corner Of The Garden.<br/><strong>Warning:</strong>N/A<br/><hr/><br/>In all honesty, of all the things he had expected to happen tonight between him and Suana Sedai,<em>this</em>hadn't even cracked the top ten; how was he to know to expect the Sitter of the Green Ajah declaring affection for him and then shedding her dress while sitting on his lap? It might have seemed a tad obvious in hindsight - she had spent a year training him exclusively, after all, and always seemed to make the time for him regardless of what else was going on - but coming into it blind? He had hoped that he was right in expecting some kind of broaching the topic of Wardership, or at least a continuation of their training once his arm was healed, but this? This was....entirely out of left field for him, so perhaps some nervousness and anxiety was natural. Suana Sedai did her best to assuage his nerves and, for the most part, managed to succeed - it didn't take much reassurance for him to calm himself a little with the knowledge that if this wasn't something she wanted, she would be hanging him upside down in the air right now, and that though it was a new experience for him, he'd been with women before so at least knew what he was doing in<em>that</em>respect; despite the rank and the awe-inspiring legend around Suana Sedai, she was still a human woman, so he would expect the principle to be the same as most other women...at least, he hoped as much - though a tiny part of him was still just a touch nervous. How could he not be? This was Suana Sedai, his new Bondmate...if he left a bad impression here, it could be very, very bad. The dress itself proved to be a mite difficult - after sliding it down her torso, it kind of got stuck by the simple snag that it wasn't easily removed from her waist or legs due to her position on his lap, so for the moment he left it pooled down by her waist, lest he accidentally rip it or something...it looked to be more expensive than anything he could have afforded with a months earnings back in his village, and he wasn't about to be the one to damage it.<br/><br/>Though he was a little surprised when she asked him to use her name; whilst Theraeve Sedai in particular had wanted him to call her by her name (among other things) he hadn't expected such intimacy on his and Suana Sedai's first time; usually it took time and experience with each other to build up that level of trust and intimacy to the point where titles could be disposed of - at least in his mind; he'd kind of been conditioned to always use peoples titles outside of his home village, since you never knew what people would take offence to, and offended people were far harder to deal with than pleasant-mooded or flattered people. But he supposed that it made sense; they'd known each other for a year and were now closer than most people could ever hope to be...and she was a Sitter all day, every day. Being an Aes Sedai was a full time job, after all, and a Sitter even more so...so he supposed it made sense that she'd want to leave her title at the door sometimes, as it were, and just be an ordinary woman for a few hours. It made sense, and it was a reasonable request that came from his Aes Sedai...so he didn't see a single reason not to obey. He inclined his head a little, still looking her marvellous upper body up and down slowly, but then changed his gazes direction to fix on her eyes. "Of course, Suana Se-" He paused, then corrected himself. "- I mean, Suana. I understand." However, he did flinch just a little as she reached for his throat - images of that time with Theraeve Sedai flashed through his head, when she had wanted him to choke her of all things...he still had nightmares about that sometimes, though he wasn't entirely sure why he had such an adverse reaction to it considering how rough they had been with each other beforehand - but he forced himself to remain still, suppressing the urge to flick his gaze down to watch what she was doing. He knew that she was undoing his tunic to pull it over his head, it was just his stupid reflexes that were misbehaving.<br/><br/>He calmed himself, soothing his mind after the sharp spike of irrational panic, and allowed her to remove his tunic, lifting his arms above his head in order to facilitate its movement before taking it and putting it in a pile by his side, his chest now exposed to the cool summer-nights air. He scooched himself a little closer, his chest now brushing against her hardened nipples - making him shudder just a little - as he calmed down from that sudden moment of panic. He forcibly banished the ill thoughts from his head; they had no place with him on that night, of all nights. He was with Suana Se- Suana now, and he would not allow thoughts of Theraeve Sedai to sour things. His hands drifted back to Suana's waist, alighting on the pooled dress. "So, Suana S- I mean...Suana..." He blushed a little at the almost-slip-up. That was going to take a bit of getting used to, considering that every time he had used her name before it had been followed by "Sedai." "...how exactly are we going to get the rest of this dress off? I am assuming that you don't want it torn...but it needs to come off<em>somehow.</em>" He tilted his head, his lips only a few inches away...the urge to kiss her again was strong, stoked by her own excitement and desire, but he resisted it...for the time being, at least. He knew that they would have to disentangle from each other even if only briefly to remove their lower clothing, but he wasn't about to just shove Suana off. He....rather liked having her straddling his lap, and he wasn't about to encourage her departure from it. He was going to enjoy it just a<em>little</em>longer before having to move. He didn't think he could be blamed for that, especially since he could tell that Suana felt the same way. At least, he thought she did; as he said before...picking up her more subtle emotions was going to take practice...but not tonight. That night, they both had other things on their mind. He didn't need to be her Bondmate to know<em>that</em>much, at least.
