Patting her knee, Dimitrius sat up and swung his legs off the couch, "Of course. I'll go tell Aunt Lina."

Moments after leaving, Dimitrius returned with Cindalina in tow, carrying a few outfits, "Here you are dear, if there's anything wrong with them, be sure to bring them back alright? And don't you worry about the cake, I'll finish it up and we'll simply make another when you have more time. I'll be sure to send Trius with the finish cake tomorrow," she added with a smile as she handed Ariala the outfits.

"Be sure to stop by soon, alright dear?" Cindalina said softly as she gave Ariala a quick hug before heading into the kitchen to finish the cake.

Dimitrius laughed, "Quite the talker, eh? Can't get a word in no matter how hard ye try before she leaves. You ready to go?"

"I like her." Ariala said with a smile, taking the clothes. "Let's go." Sariala said, taking his hand with her free hand and walking out the door and into the winter wonderland outside.

Dimitrius smiled as he slipped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer, "I'm glad. So, love, what do you wish to do tomorrow?"

"I have lessons tomorrow." Ariala said. "Perhaps the day after tomorrow." She added, snaking her arm around his waist and resting her head against his side.

Dimitrius nodded, "I have lectures and practice sessions all day then, but that evening I'm free; how does just before sunset sound?"

"Sounds beautiful." Ariala said, thinking of the sunset on the powder white snow. Then, realizing she had spoken aloud, Ariala added quickly, "I mean sounds good." She said, burrowing her blush into his side. If she could be more of a dork she wasn't sure how.

"It will be; especially with you there," Dimitrius chuckled as he gently played with her long hair, "What shall we do that evening?"

"We could always climb some trees." Ariala teased. "Or I could show you the Field." Ariala said, her eyes brightening. "It'll be beautiful at sunset."

Dimitrius smiled as he kissed her forehead gently, "The field sounds perfect; as long as there are no trees."

"Oh, there will be trees." Ariala said. "And you will climb. And it'll be fun." She said, resting her head against his side.

Dimitrius simply smiled as they walked, "Perhaps; it shall depend on how well you convince me it'll be worth it to climb one of those bloody things."

Ariala stopped their walking and stepped in front of Dimitrius so that her hands were on his chest and she was looking up at him. "For me?" She asked as innocently as possible, though her lips betrayed her and twitched slightly into a smile.

Dimitrius chuckled as his nose brushed against hers, "Getting closer."

"How about..." Ariala leaned forward, pressing her lips against his into a gentle kiss. Her lips parted slightly as she snaked her free hand around Dimitrius' neck, pulling him close. She moved her lips gently against his own then pulled away slightly, leaving not even an inch between their lips. "Now?"

Slipping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer, he murmured softly against her lips, "Close, but not quite."

Ariala stood taller to reach his lips, gently carressing his bottom lip with her own before kissing him fully. She pressed herself forward, resting on his weight as she moved her hand to his chest, wrapping around him and pressing against his back. She moved her lips seductively to his jaw, leaving a trail of kisses to his neck then retracing that trail back to his lips.

"Th-that's definitely convincing me, love," he murmured softly before placing his lips in her path and kissing her tenderly, passionately; his tongue seductively brushing against her lip as he kissed her before slipping into her mouth to caress her own tongue in a passionately kiss.

Ariala tightened her hold against him passionately as she let her lips wander against his pale skin to the length of his jaw, his neck, then to his collarbone before moving back towards his lips where she paused. "What can I say?" She whipsered. "I'm good at convincing." She finished, her lips barely touch his own as she whispered to him.

Dimitrius smiled against her lips as his finger gently caressed her cheek and he murmured softly, "Aye, that you are, love, that you are."

"So, you'll climb the tree tomorrow?" Ariala asked, excitement in her voice. "Or do you need anymore convincing?" She added playfully.

Dimitrius grinned a devious grin as he kissed her lips and murmured, "A little more convincing wouldn't hurt; it may make me less weary when I think of it tomorrow."

Ariala kissed him gently at first, slowly making the kisses more passionate slipping her tongue between his lips. The clothes from Cindalina not forgotten, Ariala dropped them to the ground so she could move her other arm around Dimitrius. Her embrace tightened as her kisses became more passionate as if she could sink into his frame if she held him close enough.

Dimitrius smiled as he pulled her against him, returning her kisses just as tenderly and passionately as she was kissing him as his fingers gently slid through her hair and he murmured softly against her lips, "I love you, Ariala."

Ariala moved her hands to wrap around his neck, pulling his lips against her own. "I love you to." She whipsered, her lips not even an inch from his own before indulging in more kisses.

Dimitrius shuddered lightly at her touch and deepened the kisses. After a few more minutes of such kissing, Dimitrius gave her one last long, sweet, hard, tender kiss before stepping away, making a small gap between them.

"We'd better be goin', love," he murmured, his breathing hard, as he softly caressed her cheek with his finger as he gazed down into her shining dark green eyes, the gold flecks glistening in the soft moonlight that floated down to them through the trees.
