Not that they needed a sun, because her smile and gaze at him gave him enough warmth to last him for a quite some time. Something about them just seemed to click, and just as his name slipped ever so smoothely from his lips did his name from hers. In the end, it was a combination of a sophisticated talent, gorgeous eyes and even warmer smile that just had him completely intrigued and enthralled with her. Yet, such tender times only lasted a few moments as he watched her freeze and her expression shift. He could see her tense up, see her worry and fear how he knew about the secret she held most dear. His eyes glanced down lightly, and saw that she had gripped her wand in fear that he was some sort of creeper that had watched her or stalked her. <br/><br/>The tension was suddenly broken as he let go a carefree laugh, and soon his charming smile returned to him to match her cold and threatning expression. He raised his arms in the air a little playfully, as if surrendering to police. "Don't shoot, don't shoot." He teased. "I promise you, I am no creeper nor stalker, nor have I mysteriously researched you or some other less than private thing others might do. If you will allow me to explain~" He paused for a moment and pulled his hand down to his neck line, where his fingers grasped a thin chain and pulled it up slowly. At the end of it, hung over his chest, was an amber amulet that was nearly identical to her own. The markings were the same, the shape was the same, even it's weight and form was a perfect match. The only thing that differed was the color, and not by much. He snapped off the chain to bring the amulet fully in his hand. Once there, he extended his hand lightly to bring it into Athena's own vision and grasp if she wished to touch it. <br/><br/>"You're not the only one that holds on to secrets, Athena. Since you assumed I was some sort of stalker, I'll assume that you don't know the full extent of its abilities yet, so I'll share one. The amulets set off a certain magical signal to their owner when another of their kind is close, or their bearer for that matter. Here, I'll prove it to you." He moved the amulet to her chest where he had pointed his finger earlier, and placed the cold metal against her skin. His own hand touched at her collar and neckline, a slight touch of intimacy though un-intended. Just as the stone touched her, small markings similar to the amulet's own light up painlessly on her skin. The perfect way to give them description was that they resembled bright blue runes that lit up upon tough, trailing her shoulders and chest. Yet as soon as he pulled away his hand, the markings disappeared. Nothing about his touch was threatening, and he made sure that she was intrigued and giving him all permission to have the stone touch her, so that she may not think that he was cursing her or something of the sort.<br/><br/>"It would be wise to cast a ward or a spell to hide us from runners and explorers like yourself...the secrets that lay within this small stone should be revealed to none, but us." He stated quickly, just to be cautious.<br/>"Now...it may be a little sudden, but I would love for you to cast that gorgeous, warm smile on me again. It's much more enticing than that other look you just gave me." </span>
