Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:13:16 PM)
*Alexander was putting the finishing touches on his lunch preperation, wearing his typical t-shirt and jeans combo-in some regards he was kind of boring. Setting the table, he went to check on his science experiment..I mean meal*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:14:53 PM)
*There was a knock on the door. Anat was outside, second-guessing herself at bringing beer. It was lunch. Did people drink alcohol at lunch? She did, sometimes, when she was at home ...but she also didn't want to imply anything. What else do you bring though, when you are visiting someone and you have no idea what they

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:14:58 PM)
have made?*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:22:06 PM)
*Alex opened the door, sporting an apron. He smiled and leaned in, giving her a soft kiss on the lips, before motioning for her to come inside* Hey there, thanks for bringing the drinks. I hope you like today's menu.....*And Alex went over to the kitchen, starting to prep his plates-trying to cover the dish with his body. It wasn't anything special, but he enjoyed surprises*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:24:15 PM)
*She grinned and handed over the beer, glad that he wasn't like, 'Beer in the afternoon?? Scandalous! Anat was wearing a deep blue strapless linen sundress that had daises and bees embroidered at the hem, paired with a light white cardigan and strappy sandals.* Of course ...and ...wait. Are you wearing an apron?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:29:20 PM)
That I am and you are wearing...*He took the opportunity to give her a full look over*....cute. *He winked, and set the plates down on the table-home made stuffed shells, with two little wooden salad bowls with Caesar salad, and Alex reached into the oven-acquiring a few pieces of just-toasted garlic bread, which he topped off with diced tomatoes and basil, putting on a little dish beside the shells* Stuffed shells...bruchetta....and a salad. Hope this suffices.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:31:18 PM)
Hmm. I don't know ...*She grinned again as she sat down and glanced over all the food* Quite a bit of trouble for lunch. But it looks lovely.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:32:26 PM)
Well, I thought that maybe it'd hold us for awhile, and if you weren't doing anything else today we could go out? *He pushed her chair in for her and leaned down, kissing her cheek*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:36:59 PM)
I didn't have any plans, other than perhaps trying to take JC for a walk later. So, if we can pick him up on the way and have him at least for awhile?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:37:30 PM)
As long as he doesn't subjugate me under his imperial might, I think we'll be okay. *He smiles, sitting down-and begins eating* What breed?

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:41:19 PM)
He's a french bulldog. And he's only four months old. *She watched Alex's reaction - to see whether he thought it was amusing that she named such a tiny, sort of helpless puppy Julius Caesar.*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:43:15 PM)
*He did, for a moment...though after a few moments of thinking he plopped some more pasta in his mouth and just smiled. When he had swallowed* That is...adorable.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:48:34 PM)
*She grinned and then began to eat* I thought so. For such a small dog, he has quite a commanding presence though. Dean was impressed. As was his friend.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:49:13 PM)
*He nodded* Well, if he's anything like his namesake..I'll have to be careful. *He smirked, picking at his sald* So...what's the verdict on my cooking?

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:51:42 PM)
Hmm. *She took another bite of pasta, and chewed thoughtfully. After, she systematically tasted the salad, then the bread. More moments of thoughtful consideration....*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:52:06 PM)
*He watched her, taking a sip of his beer and gulping! Oh the suspence!*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:54:27 PM)
*Finally, she spoke, her tone sombre* ...I wouldn't be opposed to you cooking for me again. *Then, a grin crept slowly across her features* Since, you know ...it's delicious.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 12:58:51 PM)
*He looked a little nervous for a moment and then smiled, tilting his head* Well...I'm glad you think so. If not, I was going to suggest your place next time. *He chuckled, taking a swig of his beer* Though I'd like to see it anyway.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 12:59:13 PM)
You should. I don't know why we haven't done that yet.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:02:28 PM)
I would be delighted. Though I didn't know there Hermetic fortress-towers in New Orleans. *He winks, and takes another bite of his food*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:04:08 PM)
*She stuck her tongue out at him* I assure you, I do not live in a Hermetic fortess-tower. Yet.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:05:37 PM)
*He stuck his back out at her* Hmm...I'm sure.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:06:00 PM)
Eventually, I am certain the other Hermetics will want to build one.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:08:33 PM)
Xander is concerned with creating a chantry. I'm actually willing to join him in the effort.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:13:20 PM)
I think you mentioned this to me before. That he and Elaine are working on it?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:15:19 PM)
Indeed. Hopefully we'll be able to get some sort of war chantry component going, but we're for the most part the only ones interested, besides Dean.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:16:23 PM)
Well, I think I'll let you see how that unfolds. Chantries are very important, however building something tends to make our kind obsessively protective of it. I don't believe they'll immediate want to ignite a turf war.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:16:56 PM)
Agreed. I just don't want to let the Black Hats destroy it as soon as it gets off the ground. *He had finished, for the most part..eating his final few bites of stuffed shell*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:17:59 PM)
*She nodded* I can understand that. Certainly I will help with defences ...but I need to become more familiar with the local awakened before pledging any loyalites.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:18:51 PM)
I'd also like to build a cabal of like-minded individuals.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:19:03 PM)
*He nods, and grabs his plates-making his way over to the sink* Oh, you would huh? *He smirked* That might not be a bad idea.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:19:40 PM)
I didn't think so. *She finished eating as well and stood, grabbing her plates*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:20:10 PM)
*Putting some in the sink and rinsing them off, he held up the dish soap* Tag team these as before...or should I handle these later? *He smiled*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:20:38 PM)
Isn't there some cosmic I-cook-you-clean rule?

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:21:02 PM)
Or, in this case, vice versa.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:22:56 PM)
Well then my dear, they are all yours..*Handing her the dish soap and leaning in, kissing her softly...it seemed as though he would break away, but he slipped his arm around her-pulling her close-and closing his eyes*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:25:39 PM)
...*She took the soap from him distractedly, most of her attention focused on kissing him in return. As he pulled her close, the soap was dropped, forgotten.*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:27:52 PM)
*He slipped his tongue into her mouth, wrapping his arms around her and slowly caressing the skin revealed by her dress, his right hand sliding up her neck and holding it there*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:30:45 PM)
*She slipped her arms around his waist, leaning in close against him. As he caressed her skin, she shivered slightly at the sensation of his hands sliding over the whorls and markings. Her tongue met his, hesitant at first, but then with more fervour as her gave herself over to the kiss*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:36:12 PM)
*He broke the kiss softly, kissing her lips quickly, and slowly trailing down to her neck-nibbling slightly on her flesh.* You are...so beautiful.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:38:15 PM)
*She grinned and hugged him tightlly* And you ...are too sweet.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:40:58 PM)
*He shook his head and smiled softly, his cheeks turning a little red* I'm just happy you're here...Anat.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:41:57 PM)
Oh. Did I embarrass you? *Still grinning, she nudged his nose with hers*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:45:53 PM)
*He gave her and eskimo kiss, turning an even brighter red as she calls him out on it* Nah...just I uh...I dunno, I'm just waiting to wake up. My luck might be good, but never this good. *He grins-and closes his eyes*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:50:10 PM)
*She rolled her eyes* You don't know if this is luck. I could be some kind of terror. *She leaned in and kissed him quickly*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:52:09 PM)
Then give me a little bit before you reveal yourself..*He murmured across her lips, and slipped his tongue past her lips again*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:53:30 PM)
Mmf. *She was going to repond, but he beat her to it. She opened her mouth slightly, her tongue once again meeting his as she kissed him*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 1:57:03 PM)
*He took a few steps back, pulling her with him-and sat down on the chair he had been eating in, holding the kiss and drawing her down with him*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 1:58:38 PM)
*She followed him to the chair, sitting down in his lap. Breaking the kiss for only a moment, she grinned wryly* ...We're going to need to start meeting in public places only, if we hope to actually get anything done. *She then kissed him once more, her arms raising up to wrap around his neck*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:03:17 PM)
*He slid his arms up her sides, holding her close and kissing her back,

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:04:04 PM)
his arms encircling her, after a few moments he stopped* Hmm...but this is so much fun. And who says public displays of affection won't take over?

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:04:44 PM)
...Are you saying that they are going to?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:05:46 PM)
I mean er..only if you want? *His voice got real high pitched as he deliberately squeeked the last book out, playing mock frightened*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:07:23 PM)
*She laughed and hugged him close to her* You are so cute.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:09:39 PM)
Glad you think so babe. *He grinned* So are you...beyond cute, honestly.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:11:58 PM)
How is that, exactly?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:12:48 PM)
*He traced his fingers down her cheek, gently pushing her hair aside-and looking into her eyes* You are by far one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen. And being this close to you compounds the effect. *He smiled slightly*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:14:08 PM)
I don't want to sound like I'm being down on myself ...but I feel like maybe you haven't met that many girls if I'm one of the 'most gorgeous' ones. Most people find me eccentric looking at best. *She smiled in return*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:17:10 PM)
*He looked her up and down, scrutinizing her appearence and tilting her head this way and that...he bit his lip* Hmmm....nah, and you have tremendous energy-I can feel it. Its intoxicating.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:18:33 PM)
Oh is that so? What sort of energy is that?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:20:27 PM)
Its hard to put my finger on it....its almost angellic...its your resonance, I can feel the fire-if that doesn't sound too dumb. A true Flambeau, you are.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:21:58 PM)
You can feel all that, and you aren't running for the hills? You're certainly something special, then.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:22:39 PM)
Wait till we set off 5 car alarms in rapid succession walking down the street, then maybe you'll stay away from me. *He kissed her lips ever so softly*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:23:57 PM)
*She kissed him briefly ...but then quirked a brow, glancing down at him* Why? Do you think that I am at all afraid of standing out?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:27:03 PM)
*He shook his head* No...but the consensus is that while I might be lucky, things around me are jinxed. *He chuckled* I just don't want to hurt people.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:27:42 PM)
I'm not worried. *She smiled and kisses his forehead*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:29:42 PM)
So..if we're going to get your dog I suggest you do it now before I keep you here for the next....*He thought* Forseeable future.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:31:35 PM)
*She sighs and slumps a bit, nodding. She knows she needs to do it, but she'd rather remain where she is. Slowly, she slides off his lap and stands* I suppose dishes are waiting until after, then?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:32:12 PM)
Yes, if it'll get you to come back here tonight....*He stepped up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:34:04 PM)
*She grinned* Are you asking me to come back later tonight?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:34:33 PM)
Well...I'm just thinkin we need to get these dishes done..*As he speaks, his voice is in descending volume*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:35:21 PM)
Oh, I see. So I need to return in the name of cleanliness. *She nodded sagely* It is very important.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:36:10 PM)
And because I want you here....*As he spoke, his lips slowly trailed along the side of her neck from behind*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:38:40 PM)
*Her eyes closed as she slowly exhaled - any plan to leave the apartment swiftly forgotten* Oh ...I ...okay..

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:40:24 PM)
*His lips slowly trailed down all the way to her bare shoulders, fighting the urge to drag her into his bedroom down the hall. Instead, he took her hand in his own and laced their fingers, slowly tugging her for the door*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:43:10 PM)
*Anat was in a state of complete confusion as Alex took her hand and led her to the door. It took her a few moments to actually be able to speak again. Likely, they were already down the hall* ..Where were we going again? My place?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:45:59 PM)
Yes, to get Julius Caesar...*He was quiet for a few moments, hardly able to lock the door as his hands clenched hers* I mean maybe when we get there we could lay down for a bit, I'm kinda tired..

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:48:45 PM)
Well, he needs to go for a walk, but it's still early. So if you felt like napping,we could do that.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:50:48 PM)
Right...napping...totally what we're going to do. *He lightly pushed her against the door once he finished locking it, kissing her yet again*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:55:51 PM)
*She inhaled sharply as suddenly, she was against the door and he was kissing her. The kiss was reciprocated, and again, any thoughts other than about what was occurring at this moment were gone. ...She was learning his ways though, so eventually her brain was able to kick in and she broke the kiss, smiling at him. Alex, we /have/ to go get the dog.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 2:58:01 PM)
*He groaned slightly and smiled, before taking her hand again and walking out of the apartment building, headin down the stairs* Fine fine...lets go meet Julius Caesar.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 2:58:54 PM)
...Alex ...you don't think we're moving too fast, do you?

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 3:02:16 PM)
Honestly? Maybe. Leaning on the side of 'no'. I really like you, and this is extremely fun...and I mean every sappy word I say. I promise. If you're ever uncomfortable, let me know-but I want to act on my rapidy developing feelings for you. *He ran a hand through his hair*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 3:05:08 PM)
No, I'm not uncomfortable. *She squeezed his hand reassuringly* I just think perhaps it's useful for us to do these check ins every so often. I like you. Very much. The attraction is actually sort of ...and don't take this the wrong way ...puzzling to me, because this sort of thing is not my usual way. Usually I overthink to the point of driving people away. So I like to make sure we're both ...feeling the same way. If you can understand that.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 3:10:08 PM)
Yeah...absolutely. *He squeezed her hand and smiled* I'm not used to the attention I either, I'm just feeling good about it. And think as much as you want.

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 3:16:04 PM)
(Sorry, back)

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 3:16:25 PM)
No, I don't want to ruin it by overanalysing. I'm trying to just ...go with the flow.

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 3:18:15 PM)
That's fine with me babe...*He curled his arm around her waist as they walked, pressing his lips to her cheek quickly*

Anat Mulholland (Aug 7, 2010 3:20:24 PM)
*She smiled and followed him outside, where they got into her car and went to her place?*

Alexander Kalos (Aug 7, 2010 3:24:40 PM)
*That's right!*
