![]() ![]() Open to one character A perfect night for exploring, or potentially trespassing. Kuristoph did not know if this land was owned by anyone in particular, but the man he paid to fly him here on a personal aircraft didn't seem to object. It could just be that the man was simply overpaid since Kuristoph didn't quite have a baring on what was a fair rate for services yet. Still, once he saw this particular skyland on his airship ride to Earthstar he had to come. It had the most beautiful lake that looked so tranquil and peaceful to him. Plus it was abandoned as far as he could tell. It would be the perfect place for him to swim without disturbing anyone. "Thank you Pim for this blessing," Kuristoph muttered to himself whilst floating on his back in the water. The fact that he is not wearing any clothes, as most Nokken would while in the water, is the main reason he sought this place out. The other reason was to find a place he was sure not to find another Nokken. Just better to avoid running into anyone he once knew. Edited by Kuristoph, 29/04/2018 - 10:00 pm.

"It sounds like it's complicated... but I don't think it actually is," Kuristoph interjected, moving himself so he could see Angeles' face a bit better. "Why can't a person just be attracted to you and like you for who you are? Why does your biology or sex have to matter? If it's something you have to decide for yourself on which you are and they liked you before you decided... why would that change after you decided? Sure they liked you because you were Angeles, not Angeles the Male or Angeles the Female," Kuristoph nodded as if he had found the solution to the complicated puzzle. "In my perspective, you are attractive. I cannot have children, so the desire to be attracted to a female for the reasons of reproduction make little sense to me. If you happen to decide to be a male that won't make you stop being attractive to me," Kuristoph added, trying to further express his point by using himself as an example in this regard. "Personally if one were to stop finding you attractive because you sudden decided to be male or female, but you as a person didn't change tells more about that individual than you. They probably have some insecurities to work through," Kuristoph almsot laughed, but caught himself short because it would have been inappropriate. "Sorry, I talked a lot again," he apologized after realizing that he had taken up a lot of conversation once more. |

Kuristoph started right off by stating he didn't think it was that complicated, and Angeles almost felt like ne had been slapped in the face. Ne shook nir head and stared at the man who took everything ne had carefully built up in nir life as 'fact' and 'truth' and turned it on its head. Ne stared in silence as he deconstructed everything ne thought ne knew about people, about how they worked and felt and presented to nem and entirely new light which ne had never seen before. One where a person could possibly like nem for nem and not care about everything else. Ne stared silent still as he concluded, and ne was silent a bit longer after that. Then ne opened nir mouth as if to speak, but couldn't. Ne was at a loss for words. Nir entire world paradigm had shifted, almost as if ne had only been seeing six colors of the rainbow and was just told that there was a seventh, and it had always been there, but ne was just seeing it for the first time, and only because someone else who had always seen it pointed it out to nem. Ne closed nir mouth, nir eyes closing and opening again, looking a bit tired, and ne leaned forward enough to touch nir brow to his. "There should be more people in the world like you." It was the only thing ne could thing to say. |

Kuristoph, for the first time in a few minutes was at a loss for words when Angeles stopped responding to him. She seemed like she had something to say, but there was nothing but silence. Kuristoph wanted to say more, but he had nothing else to really say on the matter and something told him the silence was good. It was a thoughtful silence. But before he knew it, he was closer to Angeles than he had been since she carried him to Reinfield. His brow rested against hers and she finally broke the silence, speaking about how there should be more people like him in the world. Those words hit home, making him smile into a light blush. They were likely the nicest words he had received since he arrived on the surface. However, he was still confused on the situation and context. He couldn't tell due to the differences in culture and how he was used to things like this working. "Angeles?" Kuristoph asked, opening his eyes so he could meet hers if she were to look. "May I kiss you?" He asked, which was very backwards for someone of his culture and upbringing. He just couldn't tell if that was what she was trying to convey or not... so he felt better to ask. He hoped that she didn't require him to dance, he was not much of a dancer out of the water. |

Ne saw the soft smile and blush that crossed Kuristoph's face, and ne couldn't help but smile gently as well. Ne figured that now was the time to go back to sleep; ne at the very least had definately not gotten enough sleep, and ne needed to process and rest after all of this. That was when blue eyes opened to meet gold, and Kuristoph asked to kiss nem. Leaning back a bit so that the skin contact was lost Angeles stared at the young man with wide eyes. Now? After all that he wanted to kiss nem? Was that appropriate? Should they? What would it do? Nothing? Or would it reveal more truths about how ne felt and maybe give some insight on how to proceed, if at all? Ne had a feeling that wasn't how it worked, that it was by far not that easy. "I...," ne began staring at the beautiful man still just inches from nir face and nir mind seemed to suddenly scream "really!? You're going to say 'no' to that!?" Nir shoulders sank slightly as ne sighed, nir breath touching his lips. It was impulsive, but what was the worst that could happen? "You may," ne whispered, barely daring to let nemself indulge in this moment. Nir wouldn't admit it, but the furious beating of nir heart could not be denied: ne was nervous.

Kuristoph waited in silence for permission of denial. He tried to convince himself he wouldn't be hurt either way, but that would be a lie. Rejection was hard on a persons ego, even for one from a culture where this kind of moment was approached so casually. The thing was, he wasn't approaching it casually. He was taking care to be mindful of her way of things, her feelings and the world around him. "You may" Was all he needed to hear before he inched closer, raising one hand to move stray hairs out of the way of her face and gently rest it on her cheek. With eyes locked onto hers, Kuristoph pressed his lips to hers before closing his eyes. There was a light tingling sensation throughout his body, it was excited and naturally reacting with the currents of electricity he could build up. It was unlikely Angeles would feel it, but Kuristoph definitely could feel a light tickle. It was a simple kiss, more testing the waters to see how it made each other feel. They admitted to being attracted to one another so it was the only logical choice to make. To see if it was something they liked or wanted for themselves. Needless to say, Kuristoph was very happy. |

How gentle he was about this, moving very deliberately, pushing some of nir feathers from nir face and lightly touching nir cheek, his eyes still locked with nirs. He then leaned forward and lightly touched his lips to nir own, and then his eyes closed. Nirs lingered open for a while longer as ne tried to remain logical about it, to analyze it and deconstruct what was happening and how ne felt, but shortly after how ne felt was all that mattered and nir eyes closed as well, leaning a bit into his lips. This was the farthest and closest ne had ever gotten with someone, even Daze who ne had been near ready to engage in each other's bodies hadn't gotten to kissing, thanks to an albino troll. The touch was light, gentle, a little stronger than a breeze and much warmer. Nir body was reacting to it for sure, heating up all along nir skin as nir wings slowly dipped to surround the two. Ne had to part from Kuristoph before thought returned. Nir eyes opened and ne took a breath, still tasting him on nir lips where a light tingling began to fade. Ne tried to quickly sort out what it all meant, nir eyes dropping for a moment as nir hand reached to touch nir lips, before looking at Kuristoph again. What could ne say to that? 'Thank you'? That didn't even begin to cover it. Ne shifted, biting nir lip and putting nir weight on one hand again, nir hand moving from nir lips to curling at nir chest where nir heart was fluttering. "I err...," ne whispered looking down at the blankets, nir eyes then trailing up his body, and back to his lips, before looking to his eyes again, "I'm a bit lost," ne admitted and swallowed. |

Kuristoph didn't know what to expect once they parted lips. It was too complex of a situation to expect a simple negative or positive reaction and he'd be naive to expect it immediately. Angeles could have enjoyed the moment, but worked out in her mind that it was not for her and cease all contact with him because of it. However the opposite could be true. The moment itself could have been bad or mediocre... but Angeles could decide that they wanted more of it for whatever reason. So he sat in silence as Angeles had the time to think things over and speak. But Kursitoph was not prepared for her to simply be lost. It put him into an awkward position once more that he wasn't sure how to deal with. "If it makes you feel any better, I am too," he added, hoping that some relatability would help her. For Kuristoph it was a bit strange since it was, in his culture, the other person who would be making advancements. Male Nokken, outside of extremely dominant personality types or those in very authoritative positions, were basically nothing more than a sperm donor in many cases. If a female were eager for a mate, it was either first come first serve or the males would compete for each other over the privilege. Sometimes smarter or sneakier males would sneak to the female during the fighting and steal the victory from the competitors. "If you want to do it again to make sure of anything..." |

Kuristoph was also lost, which ne could understand. Ne wasn't exactly making this easy, especially given that he came from a culture that, he admitted, was much more casual about these things. Ne didn't know if ne could take this casually, though, getting this far, being told that ne were beautiful in nir own right, being attracted to the person that thought this of nem, and sharing nir first kiss with that person... no, this meant much more to nem than some casual encounter to satisfy the needs of the body. And that had nem worried. He offered to try again so that ne could be certain, and ne bit nir lip, sorely tempted by the offer but ne didn't want to be getting into this seriously, and that he would only consider this lightly, and then for whatever reason they part with nem heartbroken and he undamaged. "I don't know," ne answered, "I'm worried," ne then admitted, taking the hand that was at nir chest and touched it to his, "I don't want to continue this thinking it means something more than what you think it means," nir eyes looked up to his again, the concern visible in them, the forefront of many other emotions; desire, apprehension, confusion, "that will just be bad for the both of us, me having expectations of you that are unwarranted and you feeling like your freedom may be being put into question. I don't want that," nir shoulders fell slightly with a sigh, "I don't know if I can take this as lightly as you say your people usually do. I'm afraid that I'll not want to... to let you go afterwards. If you're willing that risk then kiss me again. If not then... maybe it's best we just rest instead, see if time together changes either of our minds...." |

Kuristoph realized the conflict of the situation. There was a cultural difference from the beginning until the end. The way his people end up in long lasting relationships is usually determined after they have been with one another for extended periods and determine if they would become long-lasting partners. It appeared in Angeles' case partnership is formed right from the get go. Does that mean one of her culture sticks with the one partner forever for all eternity no matter what? On top of all of this, the ball was put into his court. He was given the choice. It was an offering, but on the terms of 'only if you're willing to risk being with someone like me' is how Kuristoph was taking it. He paused for a moment longer to think on the complications, the risks, the outcomes, and not to mention all the things he simply did not know. And before he knew it, his lips were at hers once more. This time, with more passion and longing. His heart bled for this. He longed for a connection more than he knew and to find it the opportunity right here and now with someone he respected and looked up to... it was a no brainer. |

There was hesitation, and it was honestly not worrying for nem as it may have been someone of some other culture. His pause meant that he was thinking about it, that it was important enough to him to consider. Ne would be lying if ne had said ne wished he would choose to kiss nem again, but at the same time, ne was so lost in nir own emotion that maybe stopping and moving on at a slower pace was for the best. Ne admired the look of concentration on his face, though, it seemed to age him more to his years, the expression of a intellect, contemplating on a dire question he was asking himself. The severity was flattering on him, but it was not him, not as ne had come to know him in such a short time. Ne kept in contact with him, nir fingertips still on his chest, not wanting to break all contact with him, just in case. Just in case what? Ne didn't know, but ne felt like if ne removed nemself from him entirely, it would be the end of that, like he would run out the door never to be seen again. So it was through that hand above his heart that ne felt him move at first, and nir mind grew to a sharp focus, ready for whatever came next. This same hand slipped to his side and nir golden eyes closed all but melting into the touch and taste of his lips, where a hint of the tart of blackberry still lingered. By instinct ne moved closer to him, if only to have more of the touch of his body, nir arm snaking around to his back to hold him. Beyond this ne was entirely inexperienced, and had no idea how to proceed, if it even did so. They could spend the whole night with just their lips touching, exchanging breath and holding each other and ne would be happy, as indescribably happy as ne was now with a beautiful man in nir arms who wanted nem. |
