Characters: Dove and YOU (Open)
Date: All of July!
Location: Anyplace!
Situation: Anything!
Warnings/Rating: In headers

A. Pretty much anywhere/BEFORE the turtle terror vision, 5th of July
She was having a good day. She was having a very, very good day. Nevermind the distant look on her face-- she was softly smiling more often than not. She definitely looked distracted--maybe more than distracted-- but there was a certain glow around her as she alighted in each sector throughout the day. Anyone passing by might also notice that she's absently playing with the soul gem around her neck more often than not...

B. Midnight Hotel/CLOSED/July 6-9
((During these days, Dove will be entirely indisposed, in her room, away from everyone...unless they come find her.))
Unable to block the surge of terrible emotion washing over the turtle from wracking her mind and cursed with the inability to stop the vision from constantly plaguing her, Dove was more than crippled. The thought of leaving her room didn't even pass through her head as she laid where she was, having crumpled to her knees the moment the vision had started.

Five children... children...

Helpless children.

Never mind that they were turtles.... they were young souls, just like the ones she had guarded all her life. That, coupled with the overwhelming horror of the darkness and the intensity of the vision direct into her mind...

For the second time in her life, the angel was cold, and the storms outside did nothing to help.

C. HEALERS GUILD/After the Toddler Turtle Terror/July 10 onward
She had to return to her job, regardless of the consequences. If they no longer wanted to pay her... so be it. She'd volunteer her help. Anything to help, after... after that.

Those at the Healing Guild would notice a definite difference in the angel, even if they had only ever seen her once. The smiles she offered were tired and weak, despite her valiant attempt to stay light. She was slowly regaining her footing, but she was quiet... much quieter than the happy-go-lucky, bright and bubbly healer she had been over the past few weeks. Kind, yes, and diligent in her work... but quiet.

D. Large Grassy Area outside the city/Slightly happier times
She liked being inside the hustle and bustle of the city most days, but could rarely resist the pull of nature, especially when she was so very overwhelmed.

She wouldn't be alone this time though. As she flew out of the city, a radiant bird the size of a large eagle flew with her, his red and golden plumes shining in the sunlight as they soared.

E. Anything else! :)

"It would take a long time to tell," he said quietly, his voice softening. His fingers still absently stroking her skin.

It had been awhile since he'd gotten this close to someone. And it was... nice.

"And I'm not very good at telling stories."

She hummed softly, completely content. "That's a pity... You have a lovely voice, Yuri," she sighed, relaxing further.

As she relaxed, he relaxed. His arm settling fully on her torso as he settled down comfortably beside her. His head resting next to Dove's. Close enough that she would be able to feel his breath. He spoke softly near her ear.

"Yeah? I think you're the first to say that."

She closed her eyes as she focused on the feeling of his breath ghosting over her ear and held back a small shiver. His calmness was contagious, and she was slowly forgetting why they were even in this situation in the first place.

She did smile and peek at him at his admission. "Is that so...?" A slight grin spread across her face as she slowly reached over to him to sweep his hair from his eyes experimentally. "You have nice hair, too..."

"Thanks," he said, having heard that one before. He didn't mind as she touched his hair, and reached up to run his fingers through hers also.

"You too."

Her eyes fluttered shut again as his fingers traveled through her hair, another contented hum escaping her throat. "Mmmmmmm, thank you..."

A few moments passed before she spoke again. "Sounds to me like that dirty mouth of yours has a sweet side...maybe we could be friends after all...." she grinned, peeking again.

A little smirk and he looped his arm around her waist.

"Alright, let's be friends," he said and leaned in to lightly press his lips against hers.

The touch to her back made her shift toward him, just as he went in to kiss her.

Oh no. Ooooooh no. This wasn't going to fly.

Tipping her head, she sealed her lips to his, properly kissing him and leaving no doubt about it as she was swept up in the moment. Though gentle and sweet, she would not allow her affections to be weak... Especially not something like a first kiss, no matter how playful and innocent it was.

Whatever trance he had been in, Yuri snapped out of it briefly at her enthusiasm. Whoa okay, apparently she was really serious. Something screamed in the back of his mind that he was getting in too deep, but his body ignored it as he returned the gesture. Yuri's hand traveling up her back as he inhaled and deepened the kiss. If this was her game, he could play it, not about to back down.

That something in the back of his mind resonated throughout her own, and as a result, her heart picked up its pace. What were they doing?!

Whatever it was... She liked it.

She kissed him sweetly, but with renewed vigor as he encouraged her by deepening their kiss. She was, however, careful with her affections. Grounded as they were, this was still testing the waters. It was new and she didn't want to push him too far.

When he ran his hand up her back, however, it nearly drove her mad, tearing a gasp from her lips and widening eyes as the sensation shot all the way up and down her spine. Her face flushed a deep pink, and she blinked at him, bewildered for a moment before she giggled embarrassedly. "S-sorry..."

He had to admit... He liked it too. And it's been awhile since he's done anything like this. A really long while.

The kissing didn't cease until something made her gasp and Yuri pulled back with a blink. Staring at her in confusion for a moment as he had no idea what just happened. But she was laughing... So...

"You okay?" He asked while leaning in to kiss her neck.

((Ooc: this thread is to be continued elsewhere just in case it gets a little too steamy!)) <3
