Caeleen Selena	It would seem that Selena wants to show Raullaur something. Something which requires his presence outside the city, though not far. An hour's walk for a normal person to the north, past a few hills and across a tiny tributary river a wooden bridge crosses, then off the beaten path into the nearby... well... woodsy path. A few square kilometers of woods. Selena asked him to be there at sunset. And so, she is indeed waiting at the edge of a woodsy clearing there, although... he will have to look up to find her, as she's sitting on a tree branch...
Raullaur	Raullaur goes easily through the woods, making his way over the river and through the hills to the path thruogh the woods. Taking in deep breaths of the the fresh air, the scents of wood and plants, earth and animals. Ears turn in his mane as his tail goes slowly behind him, until he gets to the appointed spot. He looks around curiously, quietly--but then remembers! She had been on a rooftop before, and so he looks into the tree branches as well, until he sees the young woman up above. "Hello! A beautiful place to meet." The rumbling purr sounds cheerful.
Caeleen Selena	Indeed, Selena is up in the treetops, one hand against the trunk as she gazes down at him and kicks her legs this way and that in playful fashion. "You came after all! I was wondering if you might not..." Now that he's this close though, he'll notice that there was a bird on her shoulder. A small songbird. She gently prods it with a finger and it flies off into the trees before she hops off the branch and falls a good twenty feet, landing daintily and softly on the forest floor.
Raullaur	Raullaur's eyes widen a bit at the drop, but he gives a bit of a grin--at least it seems that way, and a nod. "No emergencies, it's a fine night to be out." He flicks his tail again and comes closer with a huffing sound. "And definitely a delight to see you again, Selena." He nods his head gravely. "So...what brings you out here? It's good to relax outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.
Caeleen Selena	"Let's just say I've a reason to want some privacy of a different sort this time. Earlier you seemed to doubt whether I could be trusted to handle pulling off some spywork. I figured it might be a good time to reveal why I'm confident in being a mischevious sneak. Show off a little! Maybe see if I can catch you off-guard and pin you to the ground here..." Wait, what? She's grinning up a storm at him. It's hard to tell if she meant anything naughty by that or not.
Raullaur	Raullaur laughs delightedly at the possible flirtation, and chuckles. "Like I said before, I wanted to learn to trust /you/. Your skill I took for a given." He smiles back, looming over her--hard not to with the height difference--but leans down to touch foreheads if she lets him. "So...definitely curious. And you know what they say about curiosity, yes?" He still seems well at ease, comfident, amused, eager?
Caeleen Selena	"Hmmmmm...." There's a sudden shift in the wind as Raullaur posits that question. Or some sort of breeze feels like it picks up around him, anyways. A cool, fresh, almost chilly breeze that smells of a spring night, damp with dew. The feeling comes from the light that begins to flow from her body and the glimmering crescent moon shining in glittery silver on her forehead. All the while, elegantly swirling moonsilver tattoos fade into view, shimmering in the light of her anima. "How many lives are you down to?"
Raullaur	The silver light makes his eyes widen and he breathes in deeply. Ears focus on her and his tail stills behind. "Well...there's also the bit about satisfaction, yes?" He reaches out his left hand to start touching curiously. And as the sun sets, there is another source of warmth. Of the savannahs in summer, soft spice and musk as his own caste mark starts to glow a regal gold. Despite his appearance, he is one of the Sun's chosen, it seems.
Caeleen Selena	The moment passes quietly, a few minor blinks happening to be noticed on Selena's face if he's watching carefully. But then there's the slightest shift in her weight and she slips one leg out behind his... and, with a vehemently exasperated heave, tries to shove him over, both hands on his front. It's a soft landing on some leaves and sticks if she manages to succeed...
Caeleen Selena	And as Raullaur tumbles (harmlessly) Selena folds her arms across her front making a sort of pouty face. "Showoff... where's the surprise, the shock? That's what you get for trying to show me up!" Leaning forward over him she childishly pulls a down one eyelid and sticks her tongue out. It's a complete inversion of her earlier more graceful behavior...
Raullaur	Raullaur resists for a moment--desite his bulk, he has a very good stance, but it's still not quite enough and he tumbles down, before snorting and chuckling. "A general has to take things in stride," he says with a cheerful rumble. "And I did catch a glimpse of something in your shadow, so I suspected /something/." He snorts and stands up, brushing himself off, obviously unhurt. He bats a paw at her, not reaching, but playful. "And are you looking for a chase here? Stretch out and let loose and revel in the night?"
Caeleen Selena	"Revel in the night?" Selena echoes the words ponderously, then begins to giggle, bringing a hand up across her mouth as if to stifle it. "And just who's going to be chasing who? What happens when they're caught?"
Raullaur	"Well, you swap roles then. And just...enjoy the night. Running, being /alive/ and doing things!" Raullaur says. "It's a good night to be alive. To be free.
