*Sophie arrives at the door a little breathless knocking upon it as she has clearly forgotten that she holds the key in her pocket, the only thought in her head at this moment being to reach James as quickly as possible.*
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:11:29 PM)
*James was standing already, and moved to the door and opened it at the knock from Sophie, concerned and curious all at the same time as his stormy eyes found her* Lia, whats going on dear, come in
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:12:36 PM)
*Stepping inside she shakes her head, her cheeks flushed and eyes bright. Having kept her calm and poise through it all she finds herself suddenly able to speak freely and allow her feelings to be shown.* James, all is madness, Derek, Rohan... you -must- speak with the Tyrant, it is time for you to take the role.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:14:16 PM)
Huh, what happened dear, *He blinked and pushed the door shut behind her and took her by the arms lightly reaching up and stroking her hair and cheek as he guided her towards the living room*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:17:15 PM)
*Taking a breath she smiles a little and shakes her head.* I'm sorry, i was in -such- a rush to get to you that my thoughts are scattered, as though finding you were the only goal in my mind. It began with Jacqueline, in truth I think she is jealous of the attention Rohan shows Esmae and made some lewd insinuating comments that sent Esmae running away and hiding. Rohan told her to stop encouraging Esmae to be in love with him as it would break her when she was thralled and realised he couldn't love her. Jacqui became hysterical, starting to tell Rohan how to treat his thralls, Rohan told her it was none of her business. She then, for some unknown reason yelled at Rohan not to ever go to her house again and then...... Derek appeared.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:19:44 PM)
Well, Jacqui is in and of herself abit moody in general, so that is not all together a surprise, and has a strange thing about love, stranger than myself. *He chuckled lightly and nudged Sophie gently into a seat on the couch as he sat down beside her an arm moving around her* Then what happend
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:22:04 PM)
*Taking a seat and looking to him in question when he mentions having a strange thing about love she nevertheless shakes her head and continues, making a mental note to ask him about it later.* Derek grabbed both of their arms and started ordering them about, refusing to let Jacqui leave, speaking to them both as though they were children, actually he barked that they were acting like children at one point. He was -extremely- insulting and in the end Rohan said that he refused to follow him anymore and he could challenge either you or him to prove his fitness to lead the lions. Then Derek said he wasn't leading anything anymore anyway.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:24:11 PM)
*She turns to face him reaching up to hook hair back behind her ear.* The thing is James you were right. He -does- care about his position and his consequence more than anything else, that is all it was for him, an exercise in proving his status and all he did was insult everyone and make everything worse. If you don't act soon the Ministry will fall apart entirely.... there were witnesses to all this.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:26:56 PM)
That, is cause for great concern... *He paused when she turned to him and spoke again, licking his lips and nodding slightly* I will request audience with the Tyrant as soon as possible my dear. I will however need you to speak to her during this meeting. Tell her what happened as it would be second hand coming from me. As well as seem self serving.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:28:16 PM)
*She nods in responce.* I have done all I could to squash the talk of it but it will be accross the city before long that there has been a schism within the Lions, it weakens us all. James you -must- take the leadership, there is no choice now.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:29:33 PM)
Without many options to it, I will do as I must my dear, though like I said I will need you beside me for this. *He held a hand out to her then*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:30:23 PM)
*She places her hand in his, her eyes remaining fixed upon his.* You shall have me there James, and I will ensure Rohans support is yours as well.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:32:05 PM)
Oh I am not worried about that, I am sure he will support me at the asking dear. *He smiled meeting her eyes and leaned in kissing her cheek* But thank you.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:32:43 PM)
*She smiles at that remaining close to him as she looks into his eyes.* But you did not think you would have mine?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:34:09 PM)
You always said you liked him, and I did not know how you would feel about standing against a friend, and I would not push you to that decision. *He smiled*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:35:04 PM)
*She shakes her head.* I am with you James, you have my full support and I shall stand by your side to speak with the Tyrant.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:36:55 PM)
*He squeezed her hand gently and stroked the back of it with his thumb* Thank you Sophie, it means alot having you at my side.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:38:48 PM)
*She chuckles and shakes her head.* Only now I shall not know if you have been seducing me to have the Banner support you or not.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:43:09 PM)
If you have even the faintest concern that is what happend, I will step aside and train another to lead, not myself.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:47:06 PM)
*Her dimpled smile directed to him her eyes dance as she speaks, quite calmly pointing out the plain truth to him.* Yes but you would still hold me by your side to lead those loyal to Lucifer and in truth it is they who hold me in the highest esteem. But it matters not James, you success in winning my loyalty by means fair or foul is enough to prove you've the strength to weild what power you may aquire through having my support.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:49:51 PM)
My relationship with you Sophie, means more to me than any measure of power it could bring honestly *He reached up and cupped her cheek as he met her eyes* I will find a way to prove that to you, however I can.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:52:10 PM)
*Leaning forward she kisses him, deeply and passionately, her arms encircling his neck as she presses so close to him as to almost be in his lap. The kiss finally breaking she speaks in a soft tone, and he can hear the suprise in her own voice at the words that fall from her lips.* How I -wanted- you with me tonight, when all became madness and I could not make them listen to reason.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:54:18 PM)
*He let out a soft moan into the kiss, and his arms wrapping around her holding her close, and lifting her to change that almost into her being upon his lap. He leaned to touch his forehead against hers* I wish I could have been there when you needed me dearest. But now together we will take care of the problems among our ministry and set things to rights. *He kissed her long and deeply this time*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 1:57:10 PM)
*She returned the kiss, finding her own strength within him, with being close to him and feeling his certainty. Sighing as their lips parted she let her head fall upon his shoulder, finding unconsidered words once more falling from her lips.* James, may I stay with you tonight?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 1:59:02 PM)
You may stay with me every night dear. *He wrapped her tightly in his arms and held her close, kissing her again lightly though this time it was placed where neck and shoulder met*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:01:35 PM)
I'm beginning to think you mean that. *She smiles, her eyes sparkling as she looks up at him.* Does that mean I get a drawer to keep a few things in?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:03:50 PM)
Yes I mean it. and you can have a couple drawers and half the closet. My wardrobe, is not that extensive. I have a walk in closet, that I barely use *grins and leans in nipping her lower lip lightly*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:05:15 PM)
*The smile on her lips grows as she leans back using his arm to support her while remaining close to his chest.* So truly you would be happy if I brought some of my things here?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:06:14 PM)
I would be Sophie, very happy if you did *He smiled at her and his hands slid up her back then and pulled her in close again for him to steal a kiss*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:08:16 PM)
*She returns the kiss though the smile on her lips never leaves, making it somehow difficult to turn the process into a serious affair.* Yes James, only I don't have a car so how would I bring things here?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:09:49 PM)
I will drive you to get them, help you put them into the car, and bring you back here. *He chuckled* Ive even got the luggage if you need it
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:11:46 PM)
*She leans back a little to look into his eyes, half expecting him to tell her he was joking at any moment.* It's entirely possible that you are insane, James do you have any idea of how chaotic I may make your life?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:12:53 PM)
Its possible you may sophie, but do you know how much I enjoy our time spent together, how happy you make me when we are alone together like this, even just talking with one another
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:15:19 PM)
*Her fingers reach up to run lightly down the side of his face.* I didn't realise how much I had come to depend upon you until tonight, how desperately I wished you with me, how quickly my first thoughts went to finding you.
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:18:36 PM)
I hope my dear, that, it is not a bad thing for you to realise. I hope that you wont turn away from it. Because I depend on you as well, your faith in me, your approval, all mean so much.
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:19:39 PM)
*She smiles at that watching him.* Do I seem to be turning away James?
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:20:40 PM)
*He smiled and his fingers stroked her sides slowly* No you do not. *He brings one hand up to cup her cheek and he draws her in close, kissing her deeply now once again*
Sophie Willows (Jan 16, 2011 2:22:21 PM)
*She brings her lips to his and loses the desire to speak any longer. Politics, plans, complications and the relationship between them both allowed to wait for another day as she soaks herself in him entirely.* (And with the sun up I must get some sleep!)
James Laurence (Jan 16, 2011 2:22:58 PM)
(alrighty hun, sweet dreams an such.)
