Summary: Lily is finally able to relax a little
Status: Player drop

Over. It was finally over. Lily had crashed as soon as things seemed to be under control, and she'd slept for a very long time. It was later in the afternoon when she finally did wake up, and for a moment, she simply laid in bed and relished the warmth of it before she stretched and enjoyed the feel of her muscles moving without the cold-induced stiffness that had plagued her for the past ... couple of days.

Even as she laid in bed, she thought and tried to formulate some sort of agenda. She had to start getting things back into some semblance of order, and see if anyone had checked on everyone, but she was fairly certain Tristan and Hugo had started that earlier. All the same, it would be remiss of her not to make sure someone had checked to make sure that everyone was all right.

Dinner was out of her hands, and for once, she was glad of it. It meant there was no reason for her to rush down to the kitchen and try to get everything ready. Maybe surrendering that wasn't going to be so very painful after all. She still had breakfast, and really, that suited her just fine.

Lily smiled as she finally eased out of bed, and it felt good to smile. Yes, there were bumps in the road and there were going to be awkward places, but she'd pull through them, she was sure. One way or another, in the end ... she'd pull through.

After taking a very long shower, Lily checked the network to see if there was anything of interest. She thought about sending out some notes, but ... well, she'd go visiting in person. There were a few people she wanted to get in touch with personally rather than over the network.

She dressed with the later evening in mind, donning a knee-length skirt and a button-up blouse (simply because there was just something ... well, it was best she didn't think about that just yet). She didn't bother with shoes, though she did pull her hair up into a braid so it wouldn't get snarled or in her way while she was visiting.

After she'd checked on a few people and received confirmation from Tristan that yes, everyone they'd checked on really was fine, Lily decided she'd done enough mother henning and she wandered back to the second floor hallway ... but not to her room.

Rapping lightly on Balthazar's door, she waited. Maybe he wasn't in, or maybe he was sleeping, but if he didn't answer, she ... would just wander back to her room and see if he came to look for her.

He heard the knock, and smiled slightly, suspecting that he knew who it was. He'd been smiling a lot today, and he wondered if he'd always been this happy, or what its true reason was. Was it just because it had been so difficult to smile with the dementors present that he hadn't bothered? Or was it Lily still being here, still wishing to see him that had him grinning?

As far as he knew, they didn't have anything specific planned for this evening, but they didn't really need anything specific at this point. There seemed to be an unspoken agreement forming between them that they would just leave evenings open to spend time together, and while Balthazar did wonder where they were headed, he had to admit that he enjoyed the getting there part as well. He was liking spending time with Lily, and was glad to have been brought here, even just for the opportunity to meet her.

He opened the door for her more fully, stepping aside so that she could enter if that was her intention. "I should search through the desk and find the extra key," he murmured thoughtfully. "So that I do not have to get up when you choose to visit." He grinned a bit. "Were you hoping to stay in tonight, or go... well, out, and celebrate the return of pleasant thoughts?"

"If it's such an inconvenience for you to get up when I come by, I can always stop coming by," she replied with an arch of her brow and a half-smile quirking her lips.

Stepping into the room, she ran her hands slowly up his chest before she lightly nudged the door closed with one bare foot. Stretching up, she pressed her lips softly to the corner of his mouth before she dropped her heels back to the floor.

"I hadn't honestly thought about that," she admitted. "What's there to do outside of the room we can't do inside of the room?" she inquired. "Take a nice walk around the line?" She smiled a little before she lifted her shoulders. "I could go down to the kitchen and see if there's any popcorn left over and bring that up. We could have popcorn and watch a movie and perhaps see what comes up," Lily murmured, emerald eyes drifting slowly down his chest before she tipped her chin to gaze at him.

"Though I'm open to suggestions."

"I certainly didn't mean to imply that," he said, pressing his lips against her as she leaned up, his hands resting comfortable against her hips to help her with balance. "I would still get up. It would just increase the ease of you getting into my room - and gives you the added benefit of having access to my things when I am not present," he grinned, suddenly having ideas of coming back from some other errand and having her stretch out on his bed, naked and waiting for him. It was a very pleasurable image for him.

"You just got here, and already you're so quick to want to leave," he murmured gently with a grin on his lips - forget that he'd been the one to suggest going out. "At least when I suggested it it was something we could do together. I'm highly disinclined to really let you go anyway without me. With all these pleasant thoughts floating around, someone may get cheeky and get the wrong idea."

Contently holder her against him, he was thoughtful when she mentioned that she was open to suggestions. "Perhaps we skip the popcorn and just watch the movie together?" Preferably one that neither of them would mind missing too much.

"Access to your things," she repeated thoughtfully as she dropped one hand to his ring hand where it rested on her hip. "But the only thing of yours I'm interested in playing with, you've always got on you," she said, an impish gleam in emerald eyes as she ran her fingertips over the ring.

Truthfully, she'd more or less forgotten her fascination with the ring with everything else that had been going on. And really, she didn't expect the chance to work with it, or for it to actually work for her if given the chance.

Besides, there were other, more interesting things to consider than his ring and his magic.

"We could watch a movie," she agreed. "Should I go change for bed?" she offered innocently. "Or do you have something here I could borrow to sleep in?" she added as she started to toy with the collar of his shirt before sliding her hands down his chest once more.

Truthfully, she was fairly certain they both knew full well she'd be sleeping in the nude, and she was fairly certain they were both perfectly fine with that.

He'd more or less forgotten her fascination with the ring as well, but found himself thinking about it differently now that she'd reminded him of it. He wondered if it was something that he could bring himself to part with, if only briefly, to see if it did work with her magic, but there was still something about it that felt like a violation. If something happened, and the ring were broken, he'd find himself... weak and useless. You didn't give up something you'd had for over a millennium without putting a great deal of thought into it, and while he trusted Lily to be careful with it, to understand the importance of it, it wasn't really about that. It was about needing to be able to preform the slightest spell, whenever the need arose. He thought it was perhaps a culture thing - in her world, coming upon another wand would be easier than for him to come upon another ring. Or perhaps he was just a paranoid bastard after all this time.

Either way, he smirked at her a bit and added, "Perhaps you'll get lucky one day, and I'll have forgotten to put it back on after my shower," he teased before he allowed a thoughtful expression to cross his features. "You know, I may have something that will fit you." He probably did, but that was hardly the point as a darker, hungrier expression crossed his features. "Did you need help getting changed?"

"But I think I'd be a little too distracted after you showered to really be thinking about your ring," Lily admitted as she gazed up at him.

She smiled when he mentioned having something that might fight her, though she shivered as she felt her arousal crash through her at his expression. Her eyes darkened with her growing desire, and she knew she was breathing a little deeper now. Knew her eyes were wider, darker. Knew that already the wetness was gathering between her thighs.

How could he do that to her, with just a look, just a few words?

"I think I might need some help," Lily admitted, her words hitching briefly as she swallowed hard, her darkened eyes lifted to gaze into his as she slowly undid the first button on his shirt. "Perhaps we could help each other. I can't imagine you're sleeping in that."

He smirked. "That's good to know," he remarked. "Should you ever get too focused on my ring, I just need to... take a shower, and then you can focus on... other things of mine," he grinned wickedly.

He moved his hands up over her shoulders, and then down her sides gently, pulling her closer to him for a moment as he nuzzled her hair.

"I suppose I wasn't intending to sleep in this, no," he agreed with a nod of his head. "Fair is fair. We'll assist each other with getting more... properly dressed."

He thought about suggesting that they find something to change into first, but then changed his mind and instead tilted his head to catch her lips gently, moving his hands down her sides to tease at the base of her shirt, not intending to pull it off just yet, but seriously considering it unless she thought he was moving too fast, or something.

She flushed a little at his grin, because there were all sorts of delicious implications in that look, and she barely repressed the little moan that wanted to escape.

She eased willingly closer to him, her eyes closing even as her chin tilted up in anticipation of his lips finding her own. She returned his kiss eagerly, passionately, her fingers working with a little more determination at the buttons of his shirt. She tried to maintain some sense of propriety, to pretend she was still a decent woman ... but she'd never been a good liar.

She wanted him, and that was that. She wanted all of him, in every way he was willing to give himself to her. It made no sense; she was aware of that, but that didn't stop what she felt, what she wanted.

Biting lightly at his lower lip, Lily eased her hands into the fabric of his shirt as it parted, her palms pressing against his chest, her fingers splaying as she caressed his upper body slowly.
