Livianna gasped when Nathaniel fell off the couch. When he got up she giggled a little. Blushing deeply at his words she kissed him softly before laughing at Aria. "Ok ok. Lets go." She said sliding her hand around Nathaniel's waist as she tried to make it clear she was his and no one elses. They could look but no touching. "Lead the way Aria lets get this meal over with so we can start on operation love." She joked with a smile. As Aria lead them to the dinning room she walked down the halls with Nathaniel. As they entered the dinning room she smiled a little. She couldn't wait to see everyone's reaction to her.

Asem closed down the stall quietly allowing a few people pick up one or two things before it was finally closed for good. Going in the tent he helped his father sit up and begain to serve dinner quietly. His father was seemingly better but at the same time his colors were fading. Sighing softly his father smiled a little. "Going for a walk again tonight?" He questioned. Asem nodded with a smile.

Aria laughed lightly and then blushed a bit. "It's so funny thinking about it as an operation." She said lightly and led them through the halls. Coming into a smaller version of the massive dining hall they had visited earlier the dancer smiled at her family. Osiris and Iris were sitting at one end and their sister with her bulging baby belly was leaning against her mate who had pale blonde hair, almost white and bright green eyes. "Aria, how beautiful you look!" Her sister said and the dancer grinned. "Thank you Ai, Liv and I decided to change for diner." She said lightly and Nathaniel smiled and nodded his head to everyone. "Mother is praying tonight so she won't join us." Osiris said lightly and Aria nodded. Motioning for Nat and Liv to sit across from her older sister Aria grinned. "Liv, this is Ai, my older sister, and the royal ambassador. Ai this is Livianna, my best friend and Nathaniel's Naga." Aria said and sat down. Their food was placed infront of them by the servers and Ai smiled at Liv. "Goodness darling I thought you were a serpent when you walked in. You give our race a run for its money with such beauty." Ai said lightly and Iris nodded. "Even the avians." The avian Naga agreed and Ai smiled brightly. Nathaniel smiled and then began eating himself. "So how's our Lizzie?" Ai asked Nathaniel and he smiled. "She's doing well. Actually she is with my family now. She's found a perminant mate and has become his Naga actually." Nat said lightly and Osiris looked up surprised. "She does? Who is he? Another serpentine?" He asked curiously. "A werewolf, Liv's brother Nickoli." Nat responded lightly and Ai beamed. "Oh this is so wonderful. I do hope she visits soon. I want her to see the little one." She said and Aria smiled warmly. "I'm sure she will. She always talks about visiting." Nathaniel said reassuringly and smiled at Liv.

Livianna gave a bow as she walked in and sat down next to Nathaniel. "Its an honor to meet you Ai," She said softly but blushed lightly at the complements. "Thank you." She said softly before looking at Osiris and then back at Nathaniel. She nodded lightly. "I agree, it is wonderful, my brother has never been happier. Its like he found his other half. He tels me that there are no secrets between them. Much like me and Nathaniel." Liv beamed lgihtly as she looked at Ai. "My brother would love Cairo I think. I hope they visit you soon." She stated softly. Looking at Osirs she smiled some. "After my brother finishes his training. He's a bit over emotional right now." Liv said before looking at Ai. "Boy or girl?" She questioned lightly before trying the food.

Osiris took in the information with a bit of surprise but then even if he was a bit hurt at the fact, he didn't need to be. He had moved on and so had she, but sometimes he wondered what would have been if they had stayed together. "Well I wish him luck in his training. I know some of what his kind have to go through to control emotions." He said lightly. Ai looked up hearing Liv and she shrugged. "With serpentine and avian children, you don't know until they are born. No one has ever been able to figure out what exactly shields them from being seen by ultrasounds, but it's kinda fun. It's one of those mysteries of life that you can't control so why not let it be a surprise? It's like falling in love. You don't even realize your feelings until they show themselves in their own time." Ai said happily. Aria smiled at her sister and continued eating. Her mind was wondering to Amen again, and how she was going to try and find him. As everyone seemed to he slowing down in eating the dance master caught Nafhaniel's eye and he squeezed Liv's hand. Time to get this operation love rolling. "I promised Nathaniel and Liv the rest of the tour of the palace. Goodnight." Aria said and as they all big their light fair wells the three left the room. Once down the halls a ways Aria's eyes lit up with ansiousness. "I can't believe this is happening?! Oh goodness my heart is pounding!" She said and Nathsniel patted her shoulder. "Relax Aria, you will find him and everything will be great." He said reassuringly and she calmed down a bit. "Right, you're right." She admitted and then they walked into the market again. Things were slowly starting to slow down but it was still very alive and active inside. "Alright time to walk." She said lightly and turned to Liv. "Wish me luck." She said happily and then began walking in the crowd, and Nathaniel kept his eyes open for Amen as they trailed slowly behind her, keeping their distance. Aria had never done something like this before and Nat found it fun that he was helping her break out and be a bit rebellious. It was good for her.

Livianna nodded in agreement that was a great way to look at things. When Aria announced that it was time to leave she sipped down the last of her water before following the two out. Once in the market Liv grinned at her friend's excitemnet. "Good luck, not that you need it." She said softly before Aria walked off to go find Amen. She watched and giggled. "She's cute." Her voice was filled with humor. Watching she pointed when she saw Amen walking down the backside of the venders. "There he is."


Amen left his father a little unwillingly before walking out of the tent. He walked on behind the vendors away from the crowd a little till he was in an area that was almost dead. Slipping back into the main area he was now behind Aria. Not sure if he should say hi or if she was being watched he looked back behind them. Seeing Livianna and Nathaniel he stopped for a moment. What was that tracker wearing!? Holy crap she looked good but damn. Turning he was sure it wasn't going to be difficult to talk to Aria with thoses two around since they didn't get all huffy puffy before. Clearing his throat some he stalked Aria to an area of the market that was dead. Standing about two feet from her so if she was spooked he wouldn't get hit he spoke. "Mistress Aria, are you lost?" He questioned lightly.

Nathaniel chuckled hearing Liv and nodded. "She is very cute. I've never seen her so excited." He said lightly. When Livianna pointed out Amne coming up behind Aria he grinned. "I give him less then 30 seconds to recognize what she's wearing when she turns around. His eyes are going to get to the size of tennis balls." He said in a light teasing tone.

Aria had felt someone behind her and before she could glance behind her she heard a voice. Turning slowly a smile crept on her face as she realized it was the very man she was wishing it would be. There stood Amen seemig to have been walking by himself. What a coincidence? Brushing some ebony hair behind her ear the princess nodded. "I am actually. I was looking for the vender that sells the roasted lamb limbs and couldn't remember where they were... Would you know?" She asked lightly, though she knew exactly where they were. Only two venders sold lamb limbs like that and both were on either side of the market, complete opposites of eachother and the walk to either would take awail. "How is your father doing? Did the healer help?" She asked kindly, stepping closer to him to let a consumer pass by behind her. Finding herself a bit closer to the male then she realized a small blush dusted the tops of her cheeks and nose softly as she looked up into those exotic eyes. He was even more handsome up close, it was so alluring. She only hoped she had the same affect on him as he did on her.

Livianna giggled. "Or he'll fall over." She teased lightly looking at Aria turn around she looked at Nathaniel. "I say we find a nice little nook to hang out in till Aria needs us, I doubt she will." She stated simply running her hand up Nathaniel's chest slowly. She liked teasing him, it could be entertaining and fun. In her outfit it was just a neccessity to do so. How could she not?


Amen bowed lightly whe she turned around and as he came up he looked at her outfit. He kept his composure but was quite empressed with her outfit. "If you don't mind princess, you look beautiful in blue." Listening to her he smiled some. "I do know where those particular vendors are." Looking past her when someone walked by he looked down. Feeling like he should step back or something. Being this close to Aria could spark talk and he knew Osiris would eventually try and get his point across. Not moving however he just looked around to see where he was. "Well I was going to walk outside but I suppose I'll take you to the venors first." Amen hid a smirk seeing the slight blush on her face. Out of all the goddess like figures in the damn palace why did the princess decided to put her spell on him. This was not going to end well for him, Osiris had a history of being very protective over Aria. "My father is old, there wasn't much the healer could do. She gave him at least two days and something for the cough to make him comfortable." He said his voice laced with saddness. "We knew it was comming, unfortunatly my sister wasn't able to come to Cairo this time, she wasn't well herself when we left. The poor thing will be heart broken when I get home." He said lightly. Turning so he was facing the right way he started walking slowly towards the venors.

Nathaniel smiled hearing Liv and then chuckled softly. "Your looks knocked me off my feet." He said lightly and then agreed. They should go relax so Aria could have her alone time with Amen. Smirking the shapeshifter then led her to a table and sat down, caressing her side and kissing her temple before pulling out her chair and sitting down himself. "You are so gorgeous. I might just have a hard time with you in this outfit like Aria said." He said teasingly. Liv could be such a tease, and he loved that.

Aria backed up a bit as she realized that Amen might be uncomfortable with her so close. "Thank you... I wanted to change for diner." She said gently, all her ideas of conversations had left her mind as she tried grasping at any idea. "We don't have to visit the vender... It was just an idea so we could walk more together. Going outside sounds better." She said lightly and smiled feeling her heart pound. Did he not feel the same? He seemed so composed and cool, was she just imagining the connection they had earlier? Worry gripped her heart, but the princess just kept a soft smile on her face as they began walking. Hearing about his father she didn't know what to say at first, but finally found some words. "I'm sorry about his condition, but in sure with all the festivities he will go in peace and happiness." She said softly with reassurance as she remembered her own father's death. "Are you going to return to Alexandria right after the celebration?" She asked, a bit of worry coming through her words as she looked up at the male again. Every time she did, she was struck by those eyes, as if they saw through to her soul. Internally she was praying that he felt the same way about her as she did about him. She didn't know how she would handle it if he didn't.

Livianna smiled as she was lead to a little table and sat down with Nathaniel. She pressed herself into him gently and kissed his lips softly. Giggling at her words she turned slightly pink. "Your silly." She said gently just leaning ever so lightly against him. Honestly she was happy to be wit Nathaniel but everything was weird here in Cairo. Her voice came out as a whisper. "Nathaniel, I...I don't want to be..." Stopping she sighed and looked down at her hands pulling away gently. "Do you call me your Naga so they understand? Or do you call me that because you mean it?" She asked softly.


Amen smiled softly as her true intentions came out. "Ah, well in that case." He stopped and turned them around. She seemed a little flustered and confussed. "Yes it will be peaceful I just hope my sister doesn''t choose to leave this world with him. She was ill when we left Alexandria." He explained lighttly before the next question. "No, I will be staying in Cairo till my father passes and then for several weeks after that. Its how our trips are done. We can't afford to come all the way down here and then return a few days later. And its rude." Nodding some he lead her outside looking her over he smirked some. "Dinner requires such a gorgous gown?" He asked softly before leading her along his normal route. Everything was going normally until he saw some guards comming their way. Really not wanting to deal with Osirs again he grabbed Aria and pulled her over to one of the outer pillers. His cloak covering her brightly colored dress. Amen was practically right against her his hand on on the small of her back so she wouldn't move. As the guards passed he looked over at her. Blushing lightly he let her go. "Sorry, guards." He said softly stepping away from her a little.

Nathaniel smiled gently hearing Liv and then sighed as she leaned agains him. Holding her gently within his arms he allowed her to lean into his body until he heard her words. Confused by what she had studdered, he watched as she sat up out of his arms. Sitting up a bit himself, he listened to her question a bit surprised. "Are you saying you don't want to be my Naga?" He asked slowly, trying not to look hurt. "I say Naga because I mean it... It's something that I don't use lightly... " he said me then reached out to put a hand on hers. "I need to be with you, and if you don't want to be my Naga, I also understand... Things have moved swiftly." Nathaniel said with a brave smile of care and love on his lips.

Aria smiled as he questioned such a dress for Diner and nodded. "Liv wanted to put on one of her new dresses and so did I." She said lightly, trying not to sound silly. She would be so embarrassed if he found out she had changed for him. That would be something she really wasn't prepared for. Following the male along what he said was his usual walk, she enjoyed the way he spoke. It was logical and firm in tradition, but at the same time passionate and loving. She almost envied him. "We'll then I'm glad you will be here for awail. I will buy more of the art for the dancers, they are always asking for more beautiful pieces of art." She said lightly as they walked. She hasn't noticed the guards, but when Amen had she let out a gasp and found herself pressed against a pillar and Amen's chest. Shocked, her hands instinctively had grabbed his biceps to keep her on her feet and her cheeks flushed. Looking up at him she was almost sure he could hear her heart pounding so loud as well. When he began pulling away and apologizing she felt her body instincts want to be closer to him, share his warmth. But her self control kicked in and she lessened her grip upon him, trying to dispel his scent from her nose as it was making her thoughts flutter away to the beat of her heart. "It's alright." She said lightly and smiled up at him brightly. Realizing she was still holding his muscular arms she smiled sheepishky. "Sorry." She said and let her hands trail down his arms and brush his hands with her own, her eyes moving back up to gaze into his. She felt spell bound.

Livianna looked at Nathaniel and she shook her head. "No, no that isn't what I'm trying to say at all. I don't want to be your naga just here if your saying it to make them understand. I want to be your naga all the time, everywhere. I wanted to know if you meant it or if you were just using it to help the serpintines understand." She tried to explain rubbing her head lightly. "I couldn't imagine loosing you, and Nagas are perminate I want you to be perminate." Her voice was softer as she looked over at him. Hoping he understood her crazy sounding studders.

Amen could see the change in her face and as her hands trailed down his arms he felt his own chest flutter some. "No need to appologies my lady. It happens." He said but once her gaze met his he was stuck. Clearing his throat he turned away and motioned for them to start walking again. "Have you ever been to Alexandria? The only thing I like about that area is the ocean. Though that is what caused its origional fall, I'm still quite in love wtih the water. It is like a woman you know. Emotional and beautiful, gentle and yet a force to be reckoned with. It can scream, sing, talk, mumble. Its quite wonderful." Amen didn't realise the whole time he spoke his eyes were on her, though he was quite fond her her looks he was enjoying her personality too. "How long do you think it will take to walk around the whole palace?" He askd softly.

Nathaniel listened to Liv and then took her hand. Kissing her knuckles he smiled up at her and then kissed her cheek. "You're such a dimond in the ruff... I am so happy you wish to be my Naga forever." He said and then chuckled. "It makes me feel a little less bad for thinking the way I am when you're in this dress." He said teasingly and then kissed her other cheek. "I do love this look on you."

Aria smiled hearing Amen talk about Alexandria and could remember a little of the place. Though as he did fiber it, she found his eyes on her and she couldn't look away. "It takes quite awail to get all the way around the palace." She said lightly and then giggled. "I went to Alexandria once with my family. I remember the ocean, I was on my fathers shoulders looking at the beauty... But I don't really remember the city... I was so young then." She said and then grinned and looked at him, turning to walk backwards. Even when not looking where she was going she still had the graceful dancers steps, and she met his eyes playfully. "You said you have a sister, is she the one who taught you to dance? Because if she is I might have to go all the way to Alexandria to Alexandria and to get another dancer." She said playfully and then chuckled. "Unless you would want to join? We are in dire need of male dancers." She said and then grinned at him brightly. "Tomorrow, will you be at the dance?" She asked softly. After she would preform her dance, any singles that had been moved by her dance would be allowed to dance with her. It was the symbol of the dance descendants finding their true mates for life. It was a royal tradition for the woman in the corbrata line. But at the same time she knew he probably wouldn't be there... After her brother's reaction to their dancing, it would only be natural. But she had a hope that maybe he would. Maybe he really did like her the way she liked him?

Livianna laughed a little as he kissed her hand then her cheeks. "Oh," She questioned as he started talking about her look. "would I like your thoughts?" She questioned standing up and giving a twirl. "I think this dress is pretty." Giggling she playfully sat in his lap. "Tell me all about your thoughts, I want to know every detail." Kissing his lips gently she grinned.


Amen looked at her and nodded as she began to recall he rmemory. When she asked about his sister he chuckled. "Yes, my twin sister, she taught me how to dance a long time ago. She worked hard for most her life to become a dancer. Before she could try and join here at the palace she found her naga, and then got ill. Not much dancing since. Albinos aren't as healthy as most of the other snakes. For some reason we can become frail. I didn't but my sister did. Her naga is taking care of her now." He laughed some. "Would I? Spend my days in dazzling room with hundreds of females all around, all the time? No, not this man. My time is better spent taking the grace from simple objects and showing it to the world." Amen laughed at all her questions. "Oh yes, I'll be at the dance tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it for the world. A chance to dance with you with out getting yelled at. Well that is an oppertunity I wouldn't miss." Looking at her he shook his head. She was something wasn't she. "You know the only thing wrong with walking the palace grounds, are the psychotic amount of guards always walking your way." His eyes were beyond her now watching for them. Seeing none he looked back at her again. Now a soft smile seemed to grace his face.

Nathaniel grinned hearing her question and paused to think. "I think you would." He said lightly and watched as she gave a twirl. His heart felt like it stopped as he watched beauty incarnate come and sit in his lap. Chuckling he kissed her temple and threaded his hand with hers. "We'll be going to one of the rooms if I had it my way, were we could be alone and never disturbed." He started and then ran a hand slowly up her leg. "I would wish you there and show you that beautiful bedroom... Kiss those lips of yours." He breathed, his hand caressing up her body and lightly running over her lips. "Sound fun so far?" He asked in a soft whisper.

Aria listened and felt her chest squeeze. She knew what it was like to see someone you love grow frail before your eyes and pass. Both her father and youngest brother had suffered what many called the cobra curse. The slow degrading death of a cobra that most snakes would just pass in one day, while their suffering had lasted much longer. Her father had suffered for half a year and her little brother struggled a whole year before passing away. "I know how tough it is to have someone so close become frail... But if she has her Naga, I am sure she will pull through. The strength that comes with having a Naga is something even the doctors don't understand." Aria said lightly and then laughed as he shot down the idea of being a dancer. "Well it was worth a try to recruit you." She said in a light teasing tone. Then smiling wider as she heard his words, her eyes seemed to spark with a glowing hope. "I would love it if you would. If I could I would dance with you all day.... Like this morning, it was... Magical." She breathed trying to come up with a good word. Turning around to look for guards she then turned back to Amen and shrugged. "Osiris is still being careful. With the peace still settling between the avians and is, potentially all the royals performing will be in danger." She said and then giggled. "But no assassin has ever made it inside the palace, so we really have nothing to worry about." Aria said reassuringly and then gave a light twirl before resuming her walk with him. She dound that she was enjoying it far more then she originally thought she would.

Livianna felt her heart flutter but she smiled listening to him. Closing her eyes lightly as his hand ran up her leg. He had his own way of making strong impressions on her. She could imagine his scenario and her heart skipped a beat. His whisper made her blush slgihtly before nodding. "Sounds wonderful so far." She breathed running her hand down his face and over his neck.

Amen nodded. "One can hope." He said lightly before shaking his head. "Not yet, anyway. No need to jinks yourself." He said softly before looking around. The cool evening air was starting to chill the desert. Removing his cloak gently he looked at Aria. Grabbing her hand he pulled her over and rested the cloak over her shoulders. "A dancer should never let her muscles get to cold." His voice was cairing. Realising how casual he was being with her he smiled again kissing her hand.

Nathaniel smiled softly feeling the soft touch of Liv's hand running down his face and neck. Leaning into her touch he caught her gaze with a soft smile staying on his lips. "Shall I continue then my Naga?" He breathed and ran his nose over her neck lightly and placed a kiss on her jaw. "After that little kiss I would let my hands wonder this gorgeous skin of yours, and let my lips run down your sweet little body as well.... I would probably press you up against the wall, just to get as close as possible." He whispered and smirked at her. "And try very hard not to tare these pretty clothes."

Aria smiled and was surprised as Amen stopped her as the sun was almost done sinking below the sands. Feeling his delicate touch on her made her heart flutter as she felt the warm cape draped around her shoulders with care. Blushing softly she smiled at him a gentle serene looking smile. The scent of his on the cape smelled amazing, and she wanted to nuzzle her face into it and just bathe in the scent. It was so inviting. Like the smell of fresh water and spices near the Nile. Watching him take her hand her blush darkened a little and she stepped closer as his lips met her knuckles. Leanin forward as he moved to straighten, she caught the back of his head gently with her hand and guided his face to her own. Pressing a soft hesitant kiss to his lips Aria swore her heart stopped for a second. The warmth of his lips sent a wild fire through her veins as she kissed him. Putting her other hand on his cheek, she found her soul springing into a love filled dance as she had all the emotions inside of herself stirred in a good way. Pulling away to finally breathe, she looked up, meeting his eyes slowly with her own.

Livianna blushed a little deeper and let out a soft whimper as his lips met her jaw. The idea behind his words made her body warm up and she bit her lip as he went on. Her heart started to race and she pouted a little. "I wish Aria would hurry up then." She said softly kissing Nathaniel deeply. "And you say I'm a tease." She breathed running her hand down his chest a little and resting her head against her Naga.

Amen was caught off guard, Aria's lips met his and his hands gently found their way to her hips holding her waist as she continued to kiss him. It took but a second for him to kiss her back. Though the logic part of his brain knew this was a very bad idea. Osiris was stressed enough that the cobra may very well kill him for placing such common lips on his sister. When she pulled away he felt his heart racing. Looking up as two guard turned the corner he pulled Aria over to the wall and hid them again the best he could with out the cloak. He felt like he could walk on air at this moment in time. Looking down at Aria he smiled as her deep red eyes met his. He didn't know what to say. As the guards passed he grinned and kissed her gently again his hand on the small of her back pulling her into him. The feeling he got when they kissed was like a phonix raising from his gut into his chest. Giving him the gift of flight. He felt invinsable, happy, and almost careless. Though his mind kept him from acting too wildly. Pulling back again he looked at Aria and blushed a little. "Your brother is going to have me killed." He teased lightly joking about his own worries.

Nathaniel chuckled hearing Liv's pouted words and smiled at her. Kissing her cheek he knew that she was completely into the idea of his thoughts. "I'm sure she could take care of herself if you want me that bad." He breathed and then smirked and nuzzled her cheek before she rested against him. "I did learn from my Naga. The best temptress this word will ever know." He breathed and then smiled and leaned against her.

Aria loved the feeling of Amen's lips reacting to hers and kissing back. Closing her eyes she enjoyed the deep sensation that made her feel lighter then a feather. When they had broken the first kiss the princess soon found herself against the shadowed wall of the palace, Amen's hands still on her hips as they waited for the guards to pass by. It was exciting feeling his muscles tense against her body and then relax again. When the coast was clear she met those pale pink eyes again and felt his guid her into another kiss. Falling into the passionate moment once again, the dancer found her heart on fire. With each best it pumped lava through her viens, and ingnighted all the nerves in her skin. When he pulled away, the cobra looked up meeting the albino's eyes and then smirked hearing his teasing remark. "If my brother were so stupid to do such a thing he would have your skin, and I would have Iris's as my next dress for performing a dance. If my brother is smart, he won't touch you.... He'll try to scare you, but he won't risk my wrath if he did something as rash as that." She said lightly and then pecked his lips teasingly with a kiss. Though it seemed that in her eyes, the playful little threat almost seemed to be a promise. In her eyes it was a Naga for a Naga if he tried killing Amen. The long haired male was the closest thing she had ever had to a Naga, she wouldn't let anyone take that away. Pressing herself close to his body, the princess enjoyed the male's warmth emensely. Looking at that handsome face, she couldn't keep a smile from her lips. This little walk was turning into something more meaningful, a blossoming relationship perhaps?

Livianna grinned lightly as Nathaniel spoke. She giggled at his comment about the temptress and just nuzzled his neck gently. "I have to get my stuff from Aria's room so I can't leave till she gets back." The red head explained to her naga. Her hand slid up his chest again sentually. "I don't know how long that will take though." She bit her lip and grinned. Just because she was waiting on Aria didn't mean she couldn't keep his little desire going. Slidding off his lap she moved so she was laying on the table instead looking down at him. She knew he was too much of a gentleman to do anything in public so it was a free tease zone. Smiling softly she reached down trailing her fingers along his chest.


Amen laughed some. "No wonder people respect you more. Your quite scary when you get angry." He teased lightly. When she pecked his lips he smiled and took her hand gently leading her out of the shadows and back into their walk. Amen was glad he ran into her in the market. This was probably the best day he had had in a long time. Even the part where Osiris tried to burn a whole in his chest. "Is there a balcony in the dancer's nest?" Amen asked as he noticed there were a couple along the stretch they were walking and brightly colored curtains covering them. His mind couldn't help but wonder if one of those balconey's were her's and if it was an easy way to go and see her without anyone knowing. Perhaps he was getting ahead of himself. A woman as beautiful as Aria had been known to have fun with a commoner before devoting themselves to a wealthier snake. He was sure that she had to feel at least some of what he did.

Nathaniel knew that Livianna was right, even if he didn't want to admit it. They had to have Aria to get into the dancers nest and then into her room. The dancers were not what they seemed. They were trained to be dancers formally, but every dancer inside that nest was almost better then all the guards in the palace guard. Aria herself was the only Corbata that could best Osiris in a fight, and in the time of war between the avians and serpentine, she had killed more avians then any person single handedly. No one knew because it was the cobra's best kept secret of training their young to be assassins. So even thinking of stepping inside the dancers nest was not wise. "I wish she would hurry then." He admitted and then smirked ask she stood. Watching as she laid on the table before him, he felt his heart stop. Looking into her eyes he wanted to pounce on her, but being in the market such a thing was not possible. Feeling her finger run down his chest he brought her hand up and kissed her fingertips. "You are going to make it hard for me to behave." He said as he looked at the gorgeous girl he got to call his Naga.

Aria smiled hearing Amen's words about her being more respected and chuckled a bit. "If you only knew half the reasons..." She said teasingly and allowed him to escort her from the shadows and back along the path they had been taking. Holding his hand in her own she felt her instincts making her walk closer to him, so she could feel the heat coming off of his body. Looking up at the balconies that the palace boasted the dancer smiled widely. "Actually, my balcony is that one." She said pointing to the one balcony located on the next wall from all the others in the dancers nest. "That's my balcony. I am out there a lot most nights. I practice more dance moves or star gaze." Aria said lightly and then smirked. "Are you thinking of sneaking inside my room? You scandalous boy." She said teasingly and then winked. "My favorite part is the vines right next to my Balcony." Aria hinted lightly as they approached the large vines that looked like they could hold a snake if they climbed fast enough. "Are you going to come visit me? I would like it if you would... To talk more." The black haired female said softly and brushed her hair from her face. She was thinking more along the lines of kissing but she didn't want him to know that.

Livianna grinned seductivly as he kissed her fingers. "It'll make everything so much better latter." She teased lightly bitting her lip she grinned at him. "Besides maybe my goal is to break that good boy attitude of yours." Liv said seductivly with a michevious grin. Closing her eyes she pouted lightly and sighed. "I do wish she would make haste." Liv sighed lightly before smiling her eyes still closed hiding their stormy violet color from Nathaniel.


Amen laughed softly. "Perhaps I will visit you sometime then. If you want me to so much. I would love to talk to you more." As they passed the vines he looked them over. Honestly he'd climbed less sturdier materials in the past. "Those are healthy vines I see why you like them so much." He commented in a joking tone. Looking down at their hands he felt pretty confident about it. Smirking some the pink eyed male continued to eye the area. It wouldn't be terribly difficult to get around the guards though he'd need to leave his cloak behind so it didn't catch on anything. Looking her over he made a decision to let her keep it. He quite liked seeing her in his cloak.

Nahaniel chuckled and felt his heart lurch for that seductive smile. His body heat seemed to be slowly rising as he gazed upon the woman he called his. Seeing her grin, he Egyptian male returned the grin with his own smirk, his golden eyes glowing with a mischief of his own. The look seemed natural to the shapeshifter as he looked over Liv's body again. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her honestly. "Maybe one day I will be that bad boy once more if that's your girl." He said, his smirk turning to a grin as his eyes sparked with playfulness. "I wasn't this well behaved before... I used to get Osiris and Liz in trouble around here all the time. Little Aria too. I was always doing something stupid." He said with a chuckle. After meeting Eva, he had cleaned up his act to be able to propose to her, so her parents would allow them to agree to get married. But with Liv, she could handle herself, he could handle himself. They both could mess around more and enjoy being miscevious with eachother. She wasn't nearly as fragile as Eva had been.

Aria found herself laughing with Amen herself as he joked about coming to see her. "Those vines made if easy for me to escape my brother and his annoying moments now and again. They make it easier to get on and off the balcony that's for sure." She said lightly and then chuckled. She met those pink eyes again and then smiled gently. "I'm glad we met again... I feel very happy that I got to dance with you today. Considering you're the first non dancer I've danced with. I feel very lucky to have danced with you. It ment more then just dancing with dancers... It felt, special." Aria said lightly and then blushed deeply as she looked up at him. She felt like such a hatchling! She couldn't keep her words straight when looking at that handsome face. She never had that problem before around all the many fine males in the palace, but he, a common snake had her tripping over her words. But in her eyes, he was anything but common, in her eyes he was exotic.

Livianna let out a seductive purr. "Now that sounds like you had a lot of fun." She said with a grin. "Honestly I just can't see it." Liv rolled slowly onto her stomach and was on all fours in no time at all. "Your so, well behaved all the time." She said dramatically before letting out a soft sigh. "You haven't even begun to see my bad girl side." Giggling a little she winked at Nathaniel. Oh, now they could have fun. With Nickoli no where to be seen, and no one around that would judge her on her actions she was much more relaxed, and her shyness seemed to be disappearing not to return. It was a whole new feeling being free from her brother's constant gaze in a good way.


Amen nodded understandingly when she talked about slipping out on her brother. "Well I don't know about snake form, but I can climb those vines no problem like this." He commented softly nodding a little. Hearing her go on he looked at her and smile. "I feel lucky to have caught your attention. Honestly I couldn't figure out why the princess Aria would ever bother with someone like me. Though according to my father you were always the more down to earth one." He said softly but blushed when she talked. "Oh, really now? I'm glad you feel that way. I thought it was magnificent, but it could of been more that I was dancing with you and not so much the dance itself." He said softly before smiling. "I think special is a good way to describe it. It was like the world disappeared around us and there was nothing but us dancing together, and the music. Which eventually faded into the background of colors and people." His voice as a bit different as he recalled how he had purseved the dance. It was mildly poetic.

Nathaniel laughed at Liv's dramatics as she rolled onto all fours and faced him. Smirking as he saw straight down that wonderfully skimpy dress top he grinned and leaned forwards, letting his lips brush her jaw and ear gently. "I think we will both be very surprised by the other then..." He breathed and his finger trailed down the vein of her neck and down her collar bone as he spoke. "Because with this lovely view I have, I might just break this streak of good." He breathed, his finger trailing down the middle of her chest and rested there for a second as he placed a tingling kiss right beneath her ear and leaned back, his golden eyes relaying his lust and love. Aria had better hurry before he did something with Liv that wasn't done in public.

Aria smiled and closed her eyes as Amen discribed the moment they had spent together in such a poetic way that if felt like she was almost re-living the moment. Smiling to herself she opened her eyes and looked up at Amen. "Now I realize why you write. You're words are beautiful." She said lightly and then realized they had ended up at the place they started again. A small frown came to her lips as she realized that they would have to part from eachother. Turning to look into those eyes, she leaned closer to Amen and was about to steal one last kiss when her private guard, the crystalline guard Amen Ra walked up and cleared his throat. Looking up Aria met those green emeralds full of anger and subdued love that it hurt to look at her friend. "Aria you should be returning to the nest. It's getting late." The guard said and the princess's eyes flashed in anger at him. "Thank you Ra, I am not a hatchling anymore. I know when I need to return to the nest." She hissed and even if he flinched a bit the male held his ground. With a defiant look at the pestering male she turned to Amen and smiled softly. "Thank you for the lovely walk." She said and took off the cloak. Leaning up she kissed him softly upon the lips, savoring the moment before pulling away gently and held out his cloak. "I'm sorry out time must end... Even when the night is young." She said softly and prayed to the gods that he would visit her tonight. Ra cleared his throat and then straightened, spotting Nathaniel. "What are those half breeds doing here?" He hissed and Aria smirked. Nathaniel and Ra had always butted heads, being polar opposites made their hate for eachother strong. Ra had been scared that Aria would choose the shapeshifter as her Naga for the longest time. They had been friends in crime ever since Nathaniel and Liz had come to the palace. For the moment, Aria ignored the guard, wishing to spend the last few seconds she could with Amen.

Livianna whimpered as his hand trailed down her and giggled as he kissed her. "I hope so." She purred lightly looking up into his eyes. She rose gracefully and placed her hands on Nathaniel's chest leaning into him a little. "I like surprises." Livianna whispered in his ear seductivly before leaning back so she sat on her knees and her hands sat behind her holding her body in a lovely diganal position.

Amen smiled softly as she commented on his writting. The moment was beautiful till the guard came. Amen could since the type of snake he was and rolled his eyes. "Ah, guards, can't live with em." He joked playfully. When Aria kissed him despite the audience Amen felt like flying. He kissed her back lightly, allowing her to pull away. The male looked at the cloak and smirked some. Taking it he wrapped it around her again. "You can give it back later, I'd feel bad if you caught a cold." He said hinting that he wanted her to keep it. Bowing lightly he kissed her hand once more. "I have enjoyed our time immensly. Thank you for gracing me with your raident beauty, and kind heart." He tried to woo her with words. As he straightened he heard the guards words and smirked. "With words like those I'm surprised someone doesn't mistake you as an avian guard. Half breeds rule Cairo, especially now. Will you speak so harshly of Osiris and his naga Iris's children? Will they not too be half breeds. A word of advice, if I may, the female is a tracker, I would hate to think of what would happen if you disrespected her naga." He stated knowing this guard was still higher on the social latter than himself. At this point he didn't care. He happened to like half breeds a great deal. Seeing those two hung around and didn't stop Aria either he liked those two the most at the moment.

((Oo I see Amen Ra is here...are you planing drama?))
