Sakhmetis Arcana-Ra's Suite

[Silquestnocte]

Michael had forgotten how good it felt to be a snake, it had been months since he had fully shifted. It felt great, sharp sense of smell... Er, taste really... Good eyesight, pit organ working like a dream. Now that he was stretched out like this, or really loosely coiled, he started feeling more and more drowsy... This felt like a good time to take a nap, just a light doze until some clean clothing for him arrived... He was cold, and cold made him even sleepier.

He was just about to drop off into sleep when he heard a cry, Michael snapped back into full alertness, fully expecting to see another enemy. But Metis had only slipped and landed on her, rather ample he thought to himself rear and was now trying to rub the soreness out of it. Luckily for him, snakes can't laugh, they can however turn up the corners of their mouths slightly, which he did.

Metis was cute, no doubt about that. She was also warm, really warm. Michael could "see" that. Suddenly it seemed like a great idea to the slightly chilly were to slither half-way off the bed and wind his away around her, eventually loosely draping himself on her shoulders, a coil or two of his around her torso. He didn't stop and think about how most people would protest to suddenly being draped with ninety pounds of snake, because really he didn't care. He just wanted to be close to the warmth.

Metis squeaked a bit when he'd wrapped himself around her like that, her eyes widening slightly as she grunted a bit from weight. "guh mic'hael." she was blushing rather red. It was a good thing she wasn't some pansy little human or she might've fallen over from his weight. She exhaled softly, her body was like a space heater pretty much, a high temperature was kept in her body due simply to the fact she was a lion and the high energy she had kept her rather warm. She had been surprised initially but she wasn't going to try to shrug him off or anything, he wasn't trying to eat her so everything was fine currently.

Waddling slightly before climbing up onto the bed and plopped down so that she was sitting on the bed with her legs criss-cross indian style. Sighing softly as she let out a yawn and reached up rubbing one eye, ah..after using all that energy to help desha heal blade she was kinda sleepy.  

[Silquestnocte]

Michael happily enjoyed Metis's warmth, when she sat down on the bed, the other one-hundred and ten pounds of him promptly curled around her, covering her lap. His head was currently resting on her chest, over her collar bone, and he was happy. His coils loosened slightly as he fell asleep, it would be near impossible to wake him for a good hour. Michael felt safe in this new place, with this new person named Metis, and she was warm. Really warm. Soft too, although he had felt a bit of muscle on her when he first wound himself around her.

Curiously enough, he began to snore. A nearly undetectable hiss every time he exhaled, he felt at peace.

Sakhmetis giggled softly as she smiled at him, leaning back slightly against the headboard as she hummed softly. Allowing him to wrap around her like that, Her soft round golden white ears flicked somewhat each time she heard the little hiss. A sound of soft giggles coming from her as she gently stroked her fingers over the scales of his coils that were covering her lap. She began to doze off slightly, the longer she lightly slept the higher her body temp rose going back up to its normal 100+degrees as her energy was restored.  

[Silquestnocte]

Michael was presently toasty for his entire nap, but after about a half an hour he blinked himself awake. He looked up at Metis, to find that she had also nodded off. He stared at her for a few minutes, just looking, feeling the gentle rise and fall of her shoulders. Carefully, he unwound himself without disturbing her, and impressive feat considering how he had engulfed her so thoroughly. He slithered out of her bed, and up to the door, he could sense someone behind it. The door indeed did open, and a servant dropped off a bag with some clothing in it. Michael gratefully accepted it in his jaws, then snaked his way to Metis's bathroom so he could finally get himself completely clean.

He shifted back to his human form, showered quickly, then tried to get dressed. The pants, shoes and boxers fit fine, but the shirt was hilariously small. He couldn't even button it up. So shirtless, and still slightly damp from a shower, he walked out to where Metis was still sleeping. Softly he said to her "If you sleep like that much longer you're going to get a crick in your neck"

Metis barely shifted in her sleep leaning back more as she slept while Michael was off and getting cleaned up. She whimpered though after the weight was gone and seemed mildly frustrated as she snuggled back against the headboard. Sleeping for a while longer before Michael had come over and woke her with his comment.

She blinked a few times and sat up stretching popping her back with a soft sound as she breathed in sharply before rubbing her eyes somewhat. "I'll be okay.." she said softly before opening her eyes more and looked up spotting him shirtless and still wet. Her eyes widened quite a bit before her face turned somewhat red. She coughed slightly looking away from him and scooched over to the side of the bed getting up and sighed as she began to clean the room up before digging out a fresh dress from her bag. She wasn't gonna be able to wash the blood outta this one. no way no how.  

[Silquestnocte]

Michel smiled crookedly "Well of course you'll be fine, I just woke you up after all." Then he watched, bemused, as her face turned red at this sight of him shirtless. Metis was so adorable, and it was nice to know that she was, at least physically, attracted to him as well.

When she began cleaning up the mess, he offered a hand as well. After all, he was the one who had tracked in the purple gunk. In a rare moment of absentmindedness, just to break the silence Michael said "You know, you're quite pretty." He stopped suddenly, thinking about what had just slipped out. Well, it was perfectly true... Although possibly ill-timed...

Metis raised a brow at him, "O-of course.." she cleared her throat getting over her little blushing spell at the sight of him half-naked. Of course she found him physically attractive, she also wasn't expecting to find him half-naked and damp in her bedroom like that either. She hummed a bit as she cleaned and was in the middle of kneeling on the floor to scrub out the blood stains when Michael blurted that out.

She paused placing the scrub brush down on the floor and sat back on the balls of her feet staring up at him with wide eyes. It took a moment to register exactly what he had said as her mouth hung open slightly before her entire face from the neck up to her hairline went completely bright red. She looked away from him immediately as she was attempting to use her hair to hide her face from him. "w-w-well t-t-thank you for saying so" she almost squeaked out, before clearing her throat again. Ah ha ha...He'd caught her off guard with saying that so nonchalantly in the middle of cleaning like that. She felt completely shy and embarrassed now, It'd been a long time since anyone had just out and said that without seeming like a total pervert.

She hummed a moment as she reached up sliding her fingers through her hair tucking a bit of it behind one now human ear. Glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, "I suppose You're quite handsome as well" she said in a way that sounded like she was trying to tease him but be serious at the same time. Once that was said she tried to busy herself with the cleaning to distract herself from the embarrassment and silliness that she felt.  

[Silquestnocte]

Michael smiled genuinely at her, quite pleased at her reaction. That could have gone a lot worse, "Thank you." perhaps another man would have made a move on her now, but it just didn't feel "right" yet, although that was just about certain to change once he got to know her a bit more. He went back to scrubbing the gunk of the floor, he had made considerable progress in cleaning up the floor, but Metis was doing much better. He glanced over to where she was cleaning up some of blade's blood " I guess it would make sense that you're better at cleaning than I am..." He wasn't intentionally sexist, it simply worked out in his mind that women, and men were different. He didn't think it made a woman any less of a person, just that they might not be the right man for a job sometimes. Emphasis on man.

Metis smiled at him before continuing with the cleaning, they were almost done when he said such a comment. Her brow twitched somewhat as she placed the brush down on the floor and eyed him with some ire. "Mic'hael" she growled slightly as she stood up and stalked towards him until she was standing barely an inch away from him. Bringing a finger up placing it under his chin tipping his head back a bit. "That is a mildly rude thing to say. Cleaning is a simple task that can be done by men too" she puffed her cheeks out at him before putting her hands on her hips. "I should punish you for the last comment you made too for shame" she tutted at him as she reached up and pinched his cheek somewhat. Of course in her mind women were suppose to be the strong ones since they did just about everything but then again so did men so she figured they were pretty even in the were community. Of course she could be wrong, were lions werent often in a pack like usual lions. though her family was a little different then most, her grandfather her mother's father had rounded up all their family together in one clan.

Sakhmetis hummed as she was thinking of what to do to punish him as she turned from him with a soft huff smiling slightly as she was pretending to be mad at him.  

[Silquestnocte]

He put up his hands, palm outward when scolded for his last comment "Hey, I didn't say that is couldn't be done by men, just that it made sense that you're better at it than I am because you're a woman. He sighed, knowing where this was going to go. This had not been the first time someone had called him out on a similar comment, although he was still uncertain why women made a fuss about it. Men and women were fundamentally different! The nurturing mother, the providing father, why did he always catch. "This is only digging me deeper isn't it." He sighed again and ran a pale hand through his light blonde hair. Now she had turned away, seemingly fuming still about his previous statements.

Michael felt a bit guilty for some reason, he didn't like seeing Metis unhappy. Particularly when her unhappiness was directed at him. He refused to give into the immediately to apologize however. He wasn't about to apologize for voicing his opinion, it would take a change of heart on his part to invoke such an action.

Metis snorted a bit as she glanced back at him, "I can hunt and fight just as well as any man" she puffed her cheeks out at him before looking away from him again as she put her hands on her hips. She didn't seem too happy about it for sure now as she exhaled softly. "Yep you might wanna stop while you're ahead" she pouted somewhat before walking away from him and picked up her backpack. "Im gonna shower and change into some cleaner clothing" she stated before entering the bathroom to get all cleaned up as she was mulling it over. Leaving him to finish mopping up the gunk, there was still slight blood stains on the floor but she would get to them later.

Sighing softly as she got cleaned up and chucked her ruined dress into the sink with michael's ruined clothing as well. Shaking her head a bit as she tisked somewhat, what a fun first day! puffing her cheeks out as she finally brushed her hair out to let it fall in silky waves of platinum blond after drying it. Shaking her hair out now it was all nice and neat and wavy. Instead of the messy untamed mess she'd come here with.

Pulling on another dress similar to the one she had on earlier only it was a cream white instead of green. Yawning a little as she walked out of the bathroom placing the bag next to her bed. She dusted herself off and knelt to adjust her shoes some of the shorter pieces of hair framed her face in small curly pieces.  

[Silquestnocte]

Michael sighed, not sure what to really do when Metis pouted and then announced that she was going to get herself cleaned up... He had to find a way to make things better between them. They had only met today, and already he had messed things up. Solemnly he cleaned up the remaining mess. He even managed to get all of the blood out, this wasn't his first time cleaning up blood.

When Metis walked out of the bathroom in a clean dress and her hair in near flawless waves, Michael stared, almost dumbfounded. She looked... Amazing. Beyond amazing. He half-wished he could say something to express this to her, but now wasn't the best of times to compliment her. It'd just look like sucking up. When she bent down to adjust her shoes, he had a rather choice view of her... If you know what he meant. He felt a certain part of him stir slightly at the sight of her bent over that way. He cleared his throat then said "Well, I guess I'm off to my own rooms now, unless you need something else?"

Metis paused a moment before standing up straight and smoothing out her dress as she raised her brows at him, "o-oh..why" she seemed to pout at him as she walked over to stand in front of him. "I rather liked being in your company" she hummed somewhat before reaching out tugging on a bit of his hair. "Besides I think you ought to stay and try to make it up to me about those little comments you made. Or should I show you how equal men and women are." she almost purred as she was standing rather close to him their bodies just inches away from touching as she had hooked a finger into a beltloop on his pants and used it to pull him in. Her cheeks were a bit pink but she wanted to see how he would react to such forwardness even though they had only just met which made her embarrassed but she tried to hide it since she was curious.

Her lips were next to Michael's ear as he was pulled up flush against her, "There's not much difference between us aside from a few choice bodies parts" she nipped the shell of his ear before pulling away and hummed walking away. "But I suppose if you're just dying to get some alone time I could always find something to occupy my time with" She tapped her fingers on her cheek as she was walking towards a window next to her bed.
