Lulu squirmed a little, but didn't try to pull away from Nidais when the shifter ran a hand over his neck and leaned in close for a kiss. Lulu blushed furiously at the kiss, seeming a little uncertain but still wanting. He had kissed back, a little hesitantly though. A small shiver of delight ran through the demon's body, he did almost whimper when Nidais pulled away. Lulu's eyes were half lidded but they opened when Nidais pulled away and spoke.

Lulucian nodded ever so slightly at the shifter's words, and then nodded again when Nidais continued to speak. As that hand ran through his hair, Lulu leaned into ever so slightly. It was good to be touched and treated so tenderly, his master never did that. When Nidais left the tent, Lulu stood and moved across the large tent to a small table that held a basin of water. He washed his hands, and his face. For all appearances, he seemed to be trying to regain his composure before exiting the tent.

Moments later, Lulu stepped out of the tent and inhaled deeply. It seemed his imp had made quick work of the deer Nidais had brought them. The meat cooked for a meal to be enjoyed right now and the rest had been dried and put away for eating while they traveled. Right now the imp sat working the deer hide into a supple leather. The cooked venison sat steaming and ready for them on plates laden with bread and potatoes. Lulu didn't hesitate to go grab one of those plates.

When he glanced at Nidais, a very light blush crept onto his cheeks and he cleared his throat ever so softly. Lulu moved to sit down on the blanket the imp had laid out for him earlier. If Lulu weren't a demon he might feel bad about tricking the shifter, but right now he didn't care. As long as it got him what he wanted.

The smell of cooked meat filled his nose, making his mouth drool. Without further ado Nidais moved to grasp one of the other plates carefully. After a moment's thought he grabbed the last one as well and placed it near the imp before taking a seat beside Lulucian. Golden eyes moved to flit over the demon's face with amusement, before falling to the food upon his place.

He began to eat with gusto, not caring a moment for good manners. It was just a little messy, but nonetheless it worked. The food disappeared quickly, and the plate gleamed like nothing had ever rested upon it at all.

Putting the white glass aside, the rust haired man glanced at his companion speculatively before shrugging and moving so his head lay upon the other's lap. Reaching up to play softly with Lulu's hair, Nidais couldn't help the grin blooming across his features. This was going to be so much fun! A wild hunt after the toughest prey of all, and this person so full of contradictions to spend his time with, there was nothing else Nidais could think he might have wanted to be doing. It was certainly a better situation then the one he'd been in only the day before.

The imp had nodded appreciatively when Nidais placed a plate of food near it. Other than that, it continued doing what it was doing. Pausing every now and again to pop a small piece of food into it's mouth. Lulu didn't mind, Nidais could be kind to the imp if he liked. Lulu usually treated the creature with an air of indifference but he was never cruel to it.

Lulu ate like one with refined mannerisms. For a moment he had watched Nidais eat, but he didn't really mind if the other ate like an animal. Wasn't the shifter an animal anyway? Just a beast to be used as Lulu and his master saw fit. Lulucian ate his food slowly, almost nibbling at it. Mostly savoring the taste of it and wondering briefly what Nidais might 'taste' like. That thought was pushed away with little effort, there would be time for that later.

When Nidais moved to lay his head on Lulu's lap, the demon lifted his plate a bit so that he could continue to eat, undisturbed, but blushing faintly from Nidais actions. He glanced at the imp but the creature paid them no attention. Lulu shifted slightly, and seemed to relax some as Nidais hand played in his hair. The demon's blush seemed to deepen some. Soon Lulu had put his plate aside, and hesitantly reached down to stroke Nidais hair carefully. The action only made the demon blush a little more.

The shifter felt his features soften slowly upon seeing how the other man blushed. He supposed the strange incongruous nature of this whole situation was partly due to how they had met. If not for being captured, Nidais was sure he would have stayed far away from the pale haired demon. A rough hand captured silken locks in an attempt to bring Lulucian's face near.

Jewels caught his golden eyes just as a hand brushed across his own coppery strands of hair. Exhaling, Nidais lifted his lips up invitingly. Silently he prompted Lulu to close the distance and take advantage of the situation. As he waited, he moved his hand so it tangled in the decorations the demon had used to adorn his hair. In a way it was a shame Lulu had done so. Though pretty, the jewels did nothing to enhance his silvery hair.

He was relaxed, and quite enjoying himself. Half-lidded eyes looked up almost teasingly at the demon. In a way, this was a little game of power to see who would give in to temptation first.

The blush on Lulu's cheeks only seemed to deepen as Nidais attempted to bring his face nearer. Hesitantly a tongue poked out to moisten the demon's on lips as Nidais' poked his out invitingly. It was a game, and Lulu must be the first to cave, the first to give in so that Nidais would win. For a moment the demon's gunmetal colored eyes slipped closed as Nidais' hand found those jewels. Then those eyes opened again, and Lulu hesitated. Seeming uncertain, a little embarrassed, but also wanting.

Yes. Lead the shifter on, and let him think he was the one in control of Lulu's desire. It was so easy, and so much fun. With that blush darkening even more, Lulu closed the distance between them tentatively. Pressing his lips softly, but hesitantly against the shifter's. Those eyes slipping half closed as he performed that action, his fingers in Nidais' hair moved very slowly through those coppery strands.

A sound of unmistakable approval leaped from the shifter as the demon's lips closed upon his own. There was a certain satisfaction in knowing that he'd not given in first. In fact, Nidais savored the kiss all the more for the fact that he knew Lulu wanted this, wanted him.

Soft murmurs of appreciation left Nidais before he knew it as he pulled the other man closer to nuzzle at his neck. "What a treasure you are. I'm surprised no one has snatched you up yet." He did say things in a rather rash manner without thinking them trough.

Lulu's eyes had clouded over slightly with a hint of wanting more, but it faded soon enough. His arms slipped around Nidais' torso and he lifted the male a bit more into his lap to hold him close and hide his face against the shifter's shoulder. "Please, I'm no treasure." The words left his lips, a gentle whisper as he kept his face hidden against Nidais' shoulder. If the shifter knew him, truly knew him he would have never called Lulu a treasure.

His arms around Nidais tightened a bit, as if he didn't like the thought of letting the shifter go. It was so easy, to easy to play this part, he lifted his head. A slight blush on his cheeks and looking very uncertain he moved to capture the shifter's lips again. Lulu's blush deepened in color.

He was a little surprised at being pulled closer by the other man, but since he rather liked the sensation it was a rather brief thought. More alarming was the growl leaping from his throat at the contradiction the other man made. "Let me be the judge of that, amour" The endearment slipped past the shifter's lips, making him wince and shiver with sudden longing all at once. The old legends were nothing more then that, and tales of bonds forged trough physical intimacy to bind souls together were nothing more then that. Still, the copper haired man found himself all too aware f his proximity to Lulu.

With another kiss, Nidais pulled Lulu all the closer. His free arm moved to clutch at his waist while his hand cradled the demon's head close to his own. Lips met lips with a fierce passion Nidais had been trying to tame, but alas he didn't seem to be succeeding too well.

Lulu peered through half lidded eyes almost shyly, blushing brightly at such public displays of affection. Blushing even more so because the imp was there, had probably looked up and watched them for a few moments. Still, it was just an act for Lulu. He was a perfect deceiver, a skilled liar and enjoying himself far too much, the demon was silent, not daring to contradict the shifter again. Instead Lulu merely melted into the other man's lips and embrace.

Nidais wild passion clashed and met beautifully with Lulu's own timid uncertainty but gentle want. Lips pressed against lips and Lulu made a soft noise of contentment. A soft noise of wanting more, even though his entire body still seemed just a little uncertain.

Lips parting, the shifter let out a small growl of insistent need. Before making any kind of conscious decision Nidais found that he had moved so that he pressed Lulu into the blankets with a gentle force. Peering down with wild golden eyes, he moved to straddle the other man and captured his hands with his own. With a lick of his lips, the shifter tried to find some rational thought in his mind that might make him stop and slow down, but the simple protest faded away.

Sheets of straight copper hair, shot with gold, veiled their features from sight as he bent his head to nibble with sharp teeth at the hollow of Lulu's throat. This sudden flip from his earlier emotions, from his first impressions, was something Nidais thought strange in the dim recesses of his mind. Later the time for questions would come. Maybe it had something to do with the old legends of his people ... But it would be terribly lopsided if it was so.

Lulu seemed to find himself laying on the blankets with the shifter straddling him. The demon had been honestly lost in the kiss and had failed to notice the exact moment Nidais had laid him down and straddled him. Such a thing didn't matter though. That blush still colored Lulu's cheeks, and his eyes remained half lidded as soft moans left his lips. It was very nice, being treated delicately for once, it was a nice change to what Lulu was used to. Though he expected things to turn rough at any moment, because that's what he was used to.

The demon clung gently to Nidais, shivering with delight beneath the shifter. Lulu lifted his head slightly and tentatively his lips found Nidais' earlobe. The demon gave it a gentle nibble, a light tug as he wriggled slightly. His tight clothing was getting increasingly uncomfortable. A light whimper left his lips as he laid his head back down and looked into Nidais eyes with longing and only a hint of hesitancy. "...Please..." He reached up to tuck some of that long hair behind one of Nidais' ears. The word had been spoken softly, it lacked power, that one simple word held in it's tone only need and lust.

If anything the noises coming from the pale haired man made him even wilder. A groan escaped his lips as his ear was tugged and Lulu shifted so beneath him. Golden eyes lifted to meet dark silver ones, just as equally filled with need. The single word spoken by Lulucian broke trough the last of his restraints, making Nidais press himself down hard onto the other man. Claws worked upon clothing, ripping trough the fabric until skin was exposed beneath the sunlight of the forest.

The shifter moved fluidly doing all he could to gentle his roughness as two finally became one. The fact that the imp had seen all of this was nothing to him. Animals never cared about witnesses, and like them it was nothing Nidais felt shame in. Wordlessly, he wrapped strong arms around Lulucian and cradled him close after their exertions. This did matter, as if some tenuous link had been forged from him to the demon and now the pale haired man held his attention in a way no one else ever had.

With such thoughts flowing trough his mind, the long haired man pressed his lips to Lulu's shoulder with a content sigh. "A treasure indeed, amour." Nidais had the sudden certainty that it would take something very great to push him away from the demon. The legends were apparently true, though the shifter wasn't certain yet.

Lulucian had honestly, without a doubt enjoyed the shifter. Had enjoyed the other in a way he thought impossible. For Lulu, such intimate acts were never as enjoyable as this one had been. Now he was being cradled against the shifter, Lulu's arms wrapped around Nidais, panting ever so slightly from their lovely exertion. His lips moved for a moment, when the shifter placed a kiss on his shoulder, it seemed that Nidais had succeeded in making Lulu speechless.

The demon had wanted to say something, but not sure what he should say. He hugged the shifter tightly and blinked. Suddenly Lulucian had pushed away from Nidais and jumped to his feet. His face completely red, and his eyes on the imp, the creature had certainly enjoyed the show. Honestly, having witnesses did not bother Lulucian, but he was still playing the part of mostly innocent in such ways of the world. The demon began to stammer out an apology or excuse, but he stopped in the middle of it and vanished quickly into the tent.

Lulucian was a little disappointed that Nidais had ripped his clothing, but that was alright really. He had more packed up somewhere in this tent, right now though, Lulu sat on his bed of blankets and had pulled one around him and over his head. Such was his great embarrassment he felt the need to hide.

A warm glow grew in his heart upon seeing the demon voiceless and content. He was ready to speak soft words, prompted by an unexpected hug, but then he was being pushed away. Inexplicably, without a hint of explanation. A growl left his throat as he turned to catch sight of the imp sitting there with a smug look on it's face. If that annoying pest hadn't been there ....

Shaking his head, the tall man lifted himself up from the ground and walked without a hint of embarrassment into the tent. Nidais had no idea that his features softened upon catching sight of Lulu, futilely trying to conceal himself. Gentle hands moved to tug away the hood of blankets concealing Lulu's features from his own. "It's alright Lulu," cooed the shifter. "It was my fault, I should have taken you inside the tent in privacy. I'm sorry , I know how inexperienced you are. Surely there was a way to make a smile dawn upon the features of this pale haired man. Wordlessly, he shifted into his cat shape and moved to press himself against Lulu while silently insisting to be pet.

Lulu was still looking very embarrassed when Nidais entered the tent and tugged the blankets from the demon's face. He had looked away, almost refusing to meet Nidais' golden eyes. Though when the shifter spoke, he had looked at him. A little bit of his blush fading. Then Nidais had changed form, changing to a cat. Lulu didn't hesitate, he reached out and gently wrapped his arms around the cat form of Nidais and drew him to his chest.

The demon hid his face against the soft fur and nuzzled the shifter gently. "You have no idea how wonderful an experience that was for me." It was true. No half truth and no lie this time. Lulu hadn't realized that such a thing could be so enjoyable, at least not until today. That fact alone almost made him feel bad about deceiving the shifter so thoroughly. He cuddled the cat a while longer. "Thank you." Lulu's voice had returned to it's normal, power filled, gentle breeze like whisper.

It seemed Lulu had two weakness though, not being able to speak, and being filled with lust. His voice had lost all power earlier when he had been filled with lust and need for the shifter.

Almost immediately Nidais began to purr. Shifting slightly, he moved so his head rested upon the demon's cheek. His purring became louder upon hearing Lulucian's words. The cat shaped shifter licked at the other man's cheek playfully. Inwardly, Nidais knew he was in trouble. All of a sudden it felt like the world he'd known had shattered, and then reformed itself with the demon at the center of everything.

It had happened earlier, but he only realized it now. The legends were true and Nidais knew he would do anything at all to keep Lulucian safe and content. He knew next to nothing about him, and yet he was bound to him so thoroughly that only death could set him free. Not a word of this was ever going to slip from his lips, not unless the demon accepted him first.

As much as Lulu did honestly enjoy snuggling a purring feline. Time was being wasted. Every second, every minute they had spent just enjoying each other was another minute his prey got further and further away. Slowly Lulu set Nidais down. "I should get dressed, and we should start the hunt." Lulucian seemed all business, his blushing fading slowly. For all appearances it was as if the demon was trying to force himself to not think about their embarrassing spectacle. With Nidais safely on the floor of the tent, Lulu stood and moved to a leather satchel that had been unoticeably sitting in the corner of the tent.

Quickly he pulled out a copy of the outfit he had worn earlier and slipped into it easily. Just then, the imp had opened the tent flap and tossed in the supple leather clothing he had fashioned for Nidais from the deer the shifter had brought them. Lulu blushed deeply and turned his head away from the imp, clearly still embarrassed. His eyes found the shifter. "You should dress as well. The..imp will pack up camp once we're done here."

A yowl of protest nearly left his mouth before he stopped himself. No, no ... Showing Lulucian how deeply he already felt for him was not the right course of action. He didn't want to trap the other man into this, would even run away if there was any sign that he was unwanted. But he was right, there was business to take care of. It was the whole reason, the only reason, why he was here. He couldn't forget that.

Shifting to his regular form, he watched appreciatively as Lulucian clothed himself once more. He only glanced at the imp before moving to grab the tight pants and comfortable long sleeved tunic created for him by the creature. Nidais felt his eyes drift to the demon one more with a small smile all his own. "Let the hunt begin." He didn't want it to ever end.

Lulu made a few adjustments to his clothing, though there wasn't much situating to be done with clothing as tight as his. He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers lingering over the jewels there for a moment before that hand dropped and he turned to Nidais as the shifter spoke. "It will not be easy. A dragon is a dangerous and difficult prey, even one trapped in a human form." Lulu seemed his old self again, the inexperienced lover gone. Replaced by the cold dragon hunting demon again.

Lulucian stepped out of the tent and gave the imp a passing glance. The blanket that he had sat on earlier was gone. The campfire was out, the entire camp, except for the tent had already been packed away. A large horse, white as snow stood nearby. Saddled with expensive looking black leather saddle. Jewels similar to Lulu's own hung in the horses mane and tail. Saddle bags filled with supplies hung at each of the beasts flank. The horse was well muscled and looked more like a war horse than a common riding horse. Lulu approached the beast with gentle words, a hand reaching out to caress it's neck gently. He glanced over his shoulder, watching for Nidais expectantly. There was a hint of a blush on Lulu's cheeks, giving the impression that he was still a little embarrassed that the imp had watched their intimate moment.

With a quiet nod, the shifter fell into step behind Lulucian. Inwardly he was trying not to think of the difficult situation he found himself in. Balancing business with pleasure, and keeping the true nature of his feelings away from the demon's knowledge was going to be a terribly difficult task. It was strange wanting to do nothing more then to coo and pet Lulu, and do other things to make him smile and keep him content. Safe, more then anything else was what the other man had to be. It had become a need, more so then anything else this bond had forged in his mind.

Seeing the way the demon acted with the horse made Nidais's eyes flash with jealousy, though it wasn't anything he could change. Instead of speaking, he shifted into his wolfen form and moved to stand by Lulu's side. He moved impatiently, searching for the scent he remembered so vividly. It would take a while before he finally began to run, trying to escape and hunt all at the same time.

Lulucian had swung up into the saddle of the horse effortlessly. He waited for Nidais start running before he urged the horse to follow by digging his heels firmly into the beast's sides. The horse sprang into motion, following after Nidais' wolf form with little effort. The horses hooves made only the softest of noises as it pounded after the shape shifter. The dragon, Lulu knew, had days on them. Still if they moved quickly they could probably catch up to him eventually. Maybe.

Claws dug into the forest floor, making dirt fly up behind the shapesifter as he raced over the path. Sometimes he would veer off abruptly for a while before finding an easier route. True the tracking was difficult, but Nidais quite reveled in the challenge. Even so he was rather glad for a break as the trail became confused near a river crossing.

With a shake of his head he returned to his human form and began to pace the area with a frown. It appeared that the dragon had prowled about, moving down one path, then the other, and then backtracking. Glancing to the demon, he crouched down to place a hand into the running water to ease the tension there. He needed a break, and so would the horse. Pushing forth for hours at such a pace had exhausted Nidais, but he wanted so terribly to bring a smile to Lulu's lips that he didn't care.

"I've lost the trail," admitted the man at last. Hanging his head in shame, he sighed and plopped down to lie by the river.

Lulucian reined the horse in next to the flowing water and let go of the reins. He dismounted as effortlessly as he had mounted earlier. His back was stiff and the horse was exhausted, they had ridden a bit longer and harder than he was used to. Lulu let the horse wander, but the beast wouldn't go far, it would drink from the running water and then move a little way off to graze.

Lulu's imp popped up out of no where, laying blanket out and setting some canteens of water down next to the blanket. His gunmetal colored eyes were on Nidais for a few moments. "You have done well, let us rest for a while. I'm in no hurry but I will not lie, the sooner we catch the dragon the better." Lulu turned to the blanket and after stretching a bit, lowered himself to sit on it. Reaching for one of the canteens he drank deeply for a moment before placing the cap on the canteen and setting it to the side. Lulu laid back, his hands coming up to rest under his head, pillowing it as he watched the sky.

And yet things had seemed so urgent before. "This person who wants the dragon so badly, what is he like?" e wanted desperately to ask about Lulucian's life, but doing that might very well have lead to an awkward situation. So he opted for this other question as he moved. Back to the water, Nidais eyed the pale haired man with an intensity he didn't know about.

To anyone with eyes it was obvious he cared more for the demon then a near stranger like he had any right to. All because of a legend, or more precisely because of what he was. Nidais would have railed against what had happened, if he wasn't so certain that this binding, on his part, was right. But silent he was determined to remain, unless the demon showed signs of returning his feelings. So far no such luck and what a shame that was!

Lulu's eyes remained on the sky, he didn't turn his head to look when Nidais spoke. Things had seemed urgent before, but Lulu had a tracker now, one that he knew would probably obey him willingly for a while and that made things a little less urgent. Just a little. "He's a powerful person and wealthy." He gave a slight shrug. "That's all I know really, he chose me because of my ability. I suppose he thinks it'll make it easier, and it would I'm sure, all I would have to do is command the dragon to return home." Lulu ran his tongue over his lips. It was a tempting thought.

He could override anyone's will power, well almost anyone, but the duration and success of such an ability really depended on how strong willed the person he was trying to command was. A dragon would be difficult, of that Lulu was sure. Beside, despite being a demon, he didn't take much pleasure in being completely obeyed or exerting such force over the will of others. It just wasn't much fun. But being deceitful and playing a role to get someone to obey was rather fun and that was proving to be very true ever since he had met Nidais.
