RP: Neria (NSFW, D/s elements)

[wardenalistair]

Alistair had located food enough for dinner from the kitchens. The supplies there were looking a little low, and they'd been here long enough for it to be clear that the food wasn't replenishing itself. So that was worrisome. They would probably need to start rationing soon, something he undoubtedly should speak to Cullen about. Later.

Back in their room, he set out the bread and slightly mealy looking apples and cheese, and then made the bed, stoked the fire, went wandering through the castle and found a rather large bathtub (big enough for the both of them, he thought, if they squeezed a bit, which would certainly not be the worst thing in the world), which he succeeded in dragging back to their room with more effort than he was keen to admit to. He went and fetched water enough to fill it, figuring Neria could warm it whenever they felt like actually using it.

And then that was pretty much everything distracting he could find for himself to do. He supposed he could go and find Anders, or Sigrun, or even his king self, all of them would be pleasant enough conversation, but then Neria wouldn't know where he was, and he wanted to be here for when she came back. It served the double purpose of letting him know she wasn't back yet as well, so he could go down to those dungeons and stab that old bat in the face, if need be.

He perched on the edge of the bed and folded his hands in his lap and bounced up and down lightly with impatience.

He probably should have just insisted on going with her.

"That is a way of seeing things, yes." she gave him a fond smile, placing a hand over his cheek and caressing his cheek bone with her thumb "A short life has a surprising way to help you set your priorities."

[wardenalistair]

Alistair turned his head and kissed the base of her palm.

"Yes," he agreed, knowing she didn't need any more words from him to understand the rush of love and desire, grief and hope, over their future in his eyes - all things they had discussed many times.

[heromiyuu]

Neria stood on the tip of her toes to plant a peck on his nose, then back to eat her apple. She was always impressed by the soothing effect Alistair's presence had over her, even when they were lost in the Fade. She wanted him so well it hurt.

Her free hand played with the strings of his shirt while she ate. "So, Warden Constable... how are we going to explain the First Warden how you disappeared and suddenly found you way to me?"

[wardenalistair]

Alistair reached for more cheese, stacking several slices on a slice of bread before eating it.

"Well," he said around the mouthful, "we could always go back to the ole 'feign ignorance and don't tell him anything' tactic that we used to explain how you didn't die killing the archdemon." He grinned.

"It's less far off in this case."

[heromiyuu]

"You have a good point." she chuckled, another bite of apple "I can imagine him freaking out because you're gone. And a few Wardens freaking out, thinking he ordered someone to vanish with you."

[wardenalistair]

Alistair hummed. "All their hopes for a new regime, a new oversight in the Wardens, will be dashed," he said, not sounding the least bit put out by the thought.

[heromiyuu]

"Think about how glad and surprised they'll be when you come back." she tried to cheer him "And with the Hero of Ferelden by your side. And the Cure."

[wardenalistair]

Alistair smiled crookedly. "It'll be the Hero of Ferelden commotion all over again. They'll never let us leave."

[heromiyuu]

"Then we go back to the kidnapping plan. I'll have to steal you, and myself, back to Ferelden. No big deal."

[wardenalistair]

"You always know just what to say, my dear," he chuckled.

[heromiyuu]

"Pretty different from when I joined the order, huh?"

[wardenalistair]

"Are you kidding?" Alistair looked up from the carefully layered stack of fruit and cheese he had just constructed. "Your ideas were great then, too. There was a reason I wanted you to be in charge."

He stuck the entire stack in his mouth.

[heromiyuu]

"Perhaps... But it took me a entire month to be able to speak in front of everyone without stuttering, especially with Sten's judgemental gaze."

And she tried to impersonate the Qunari Warrior expression.

"I had no confidence on me. Or my magic. And I had to give great leaps of faith about trusting the others. I don't really miss this part of the Blight."

[wardenalistair]

(OOC: Sorry to disappear on you; I've been out of town for a couple days!)

Alistair hummed around the food in his mouth, then chewed a few times and swallowed before he answered.

"Well, I, for one, would have followed you anywhere, stutter-y and mistrustful and all. And now?" He tugged her closer to him by a hand on her waist, and bent to brush his lips over her ear. "Now you've got that Commander voice down pat, and it does all sorts of interesting tingly things to me."

[heromiyuu]

Neria laughed and shivered, leaning to his touch with a soft humm of satisfaction.

"Oh, interesting tingly things, I see." she kissed him, passionate, wanting, and pulled away then, fond smile curving her lips. "I won't ever be able to thank you enough for being there for me." then she add, with a smirk "Though I'm still waiting for the remigold dance."

((ooc: Oh, don't worry! I've been kinda away too, rushing with my DAI playthough to complete everything before playing the Trespasser xD))

[wardenalistair]

Alistair looked down at himself. "I've yet to actually see any dresses that would fit me, my love, but by all means, if you do find one, let me know." He grinned crookedly at her.

(OOC: Oh yeah, that's a thing that's today. *whines about console woes and not being able to play it indefinitely*)

[heromiyuu]

Neria pulled closer to him, grinning.

"I'm sure we can look into it later. Now..." she purred "Tell me about the tingly thing, hm?"

Her hands rested down his sides, gripping the fabric of his shirt.

((ooc: yay, pc woes! we surely don't get all the games, but we get all dlcs at least! xD))

[wardenalistair]

Alistair shivered.

"Ah...you know..." He flushed scarlet, from his ears to his cheeks and all down his neck, and then bent to brush his lips against her temple. "Sometimes, while you were away, and I was imagining how I would touch you when I got you back, sometimes I'd think about you...telling me how to please you, commanding me. It's very...hmm..." He bit his lip.

[heromiyuu]

"Oh." she tilted her head, a grin slowly spreading wide on her lips "Ohhhh. I can work with that, if you want."

Neria pressed a kiss on his lips, tugging his shirt to press him closer.

[wardenalistair]

"Yeah?" Alistair smiled, big and earnest and boyish, dipping his head to kiss her back.

"I mean, only if you want to too, of course, love."

[heromiyuu]

"And lose the chance to order you around? Not in this life."

She smiled, enjoying the idea. Perhaps enjoying too much the idea. "We'll need a safeword. Something you can easily remember in case you want to stop."

[wardenalistair]

Alistair nodded, trying not to look too eager.

"All right. Um, mabari?"

[heromiyuu]

"Mabari it is." she agreed, pulling away from him.

Neria gaited all the way to the bathtub, dipping a hand in the fresh water, fingertips shining with a fire magic to warm it. Once she was done, she settled on the bed edge, back turned to Alistair, stretching the wet hand away from her. She cleaned her throat and waited.

[wardenalistair]

Alistair hesitated, uncertain. "Um." He widened his stance and stood ready, clasping his hands behind his back in a position left over from his days as a templar recruit.

"What is it you want, love?" he tried, when she didn't say anything.

[heromiyuu]

"Love?" she shook her head briefly, tutting, her voice cold and assertive when she spoke. "You will refer to me as Commander from now on. And don't stand there, sulking, warden. My hand is wet. I need a towel."

Neria wondered if she was pushing him too hard for a start, but kept with the act.
