[Sigr had never been one to back down from any challenge, from any obstacle in his path, no matter how daunting or impossible it had seemed at the time. So far, it had served him well in life, though he definitely bore the scars, both physical and across his soul, of his past choices. There was little he would have changed about where they were now, about all of things that had brought them to the First, other than the fleeting, foolish wish to have saved those that had laid their bones to allow others to continue the otherwise unwalkable path.

There was something decidedly erotic in watching the Ascian remove the white gloves and Sigr’s eyes gave him away, the pupils flexing to mere slits before opening wider, taking in every small detail that he could. His tail had gone still except for the very slow motions at the very tip, drifting the long black strands across Emet-Selch’s legs. When the hand came to touch his chest, he felt a pause somewhere in him, thinking of what Emet-Selch. had done with just a simple snap before. A power they had never realized an Ascian had, but it made all too much sense in its way. (Nor did they know or truly understand the real power that Emet-Selch had within him, no, not yet. It would come with time.)

It was so warm, warmer than any hand that had touched him before, and Sigr’s brows came together as he puzzled over why that might be, but only briefly. Instead, his hand came up, wrapping thick fingers around the other’s wrist - light, enough to pull free - and brought that hand up to his mouth.

Slowly, pushing the boundary of the ‘game’ they were letting themselves play, he flicked that pink tongue over the other’s index finger, the most delicate little lap, but enough that Emet-Selch would learn Hrothgar tongues were textured. Not the rough spines of a cat... but somewhere in the distant past, perhaps, it had been.

Your move.]

[ Indeed the game was getting even more charged if that could even be a thing between them. Once his hand was captured and brought to Sigr's mouth, and then that subtly textured tongue flicked with enough challenge to fuel a thousand games, and then Emet-Selch let out the very first sign of weakness. It was of course a sign that denoted that even he, Ascian-- had weaknesses as well; turn-ons. Those fingers were highly sensitive to a regular mouth, to a feline tongue, suddenly his eyes darkened perceptibly, shifting from gold to a slightly darker amber.

He could of 'cried' cheating, but really this was within fair bounderies of the game that they were playing-- all after all was fair in lust and war and certainly this wasn't meant to be something that the other was supposed to know about, this was a uncovering of enemy territory-- insofar as much as could be conceivably allowed.

Well that had torn a rather startling reaction out of him, physically his body responded in all the necessary ways to that lick of the tongue though it would not be 'so' apparent just underneath the flamboyant layers of robing that covered his body, but there was a exceedingly defined reaction--

Well we simply couldn't have that, now could we?

This was after all a show of power and he was not going to let Sigr have all of the fun-- and so a quirking smile crossed over his lips even as he leaned in and then very lightly nuzzled that abdomen that he seemed to be in such view of, his tongue moving in order to drag against the skin, trailing against a muscles that were raised up against stomach-- it was as such that he could reach it and of course he figured that if there was a backing down that occurred, this may be it as he knew that a feline's most 'vulnerable' spot was their stomachs and when presented with it, all manner of things 'could' occur.

Emet-Selch then glanced up at Sigr-- those golden eyes had a playful cast to them and was in fact doing 'all' the speaking. ]

[It was, in so many ways, oddly humanizing of a man who had been able to pull life from the Flow, from a people who had been able to pull the strings of Fate and change the tides of worlds. Even immortality could not take away something as simple as the sensitivity of fingers, the small pleasure of warmth and wet and heat. Bringing themselves into bodies like this, or built into Amaurotians originally, one way or another, it was there within Emet-Selch as much as it was in Sigr or any other mortal soul on any of the worlds.

To discover this left Sigr's tail twitching, with tight pupils and hunger showing in them. He wanted to discover more.

All was fair in love and war, was it not, Emet-Selch?

Sigr had the powerful muscles of a man who spent much of the energies of his body on the movements of aether as much as the swing of a sword, and Emet-Selch would be able to feel that as he nosed, then dared to lick, over them. It brought a faintly shaking breath from Sigr, head tilting down so that he could meet the golden gaze 'speaking' to him from below.

A flash of fangs in a grin, answering. Yes. His own heaviness sat firm beneath the robes he wore, not nearly as layered as Emet-Selch's own, but it hardly mattered. If this was where they were going, it was more than eager and so was Sigr.]

There are better places that tongue can be put to use.

[ Indeed, what a way to be given direction-- though he did not expect anything less of the Warrior of Light to be honest, inadvertent though he was-- the aether did seem to shift around Sigr and in ways that Emet-Selch could not very well suss out yet, there was something exceedingly familiar about that aether and he could not very well put his finger upon it-- if he had been a little less distracted, perhaps he would of still puzzled over it.

Regardless of Amaurotine, Ascian or not-- Emet-Selch did take the opportunity afforded to him, the sheer desire in Sigr's eyes and of course that pressed him ever further to see how much he could get away with, how far he could go before this game was called.

Somehow, he did not think that there could potentially be a stopping point for the both of them right here in this moment, they were almost set on their path like a track and the only way was forward-- though most certainly he would stop at the veriest word from Sigr and then he'd chalk it up to a invariable win for Sigr.

And despite popular belief, Emet-Selch wasn't here with the Scions because he was assured of 'winning'-- if he had been hellbent on that particular route, there would've been no need to dip his oars into the waters of this entire mess. There was much more at stake here to Emet-Selch, things that he was invested in, and those things like cards he kept close to his chest. But here in this moment, he thought that there could be a small victory of sorts and so even as he lay reclined there, with Sigr somewhat straddling him, his fingers lightly started to trail down that chest until it came to robed skirt, and then his fingers very 'lightly' started to skirt from waistband and then following fabric ever downward, sensing out with touch where exactly the treasure was located underneath those robes

But he didn't break eye contact with Sigr, in what seemed like a new game that had drawn up between them, the game of constant eye contact ]

[Both Sigr and Emet-Selch, for all of their expansive differences, sometimes spectrums apart, also had remarkable differences. Their foraging ahead on the path, regardless of what cropped up to stop them, was decidedly one of those similarities. Their disregard for convention and their stubbornness. Their strength, of many kinds, and their determination. Even now, as enemies, there was the frustrating moments where, even if they were sometimes loathe to admit it, they could see the other's perspective. Yet neither, for the sake of their people, could be swayed.

When Emet-Selch's warm fingertips probed further south, clear in their quest, Sigr only gave a small smirk and leaned slightly backwards, which put his hips a little more forward. He wasn't a man who hid himself, nor did his body seem intending to, as Emet-Selch would quickly enough find the added warmth, heavy between his thighs. The other had not been with a Hrothgar before, and he would find the shape something a little different than he was used to.

Sigr saw no reason to interrupt what the other was in the middle of, leaving himself open to that touch and watching with a hunger in his eyes. It had been a long time, and while if any actual logical part of his mind wanted to kick in and scream at him for being a total fool right now, it was overrun by his desire. ...A desire both for the physical... and his innate deep well of curiosity.

They all knew what curiosity did to the cat, after all.]

[ Emet-Selch would not fault Sigr with curiousity-- and perhaps this in it's own way was a bit of re-affirming on his part. After all wandering across ruins that he had not been in for near 100 years, every time he visited the ravel, he was faced with such sadness, such longing. The murals painted a story that he took no great 'pride' in, it was a reminder of the destruction of his world, of his way of life and it awakened a new feeling of grief-- grief that he had been still feeling when he had come across Sigr.

There was nothing more affirming than this right? Taking satisfaction in another's touch, in staring down that well of curiousity and opening your mouth to drink deep. Emet-Selch saw the hunger in those eyes, in the tension that reverberated on that body, he found himself running his tongue over his lower lip even as he firmed his touch, his fingers lightly skirting over the form that lay underneath, feeling the perceived differences which served to intrigue him. It was enough that his other hand started to tug at the robe, trying to find any fastenings that would reveal the Hrothgar to his view.

Then Emet-Selch's warm golden eyes slid upward in order to meet Sigr, there was something rather playful there, yet a desire that glimmered in his eyes that flickered like flames-- but there was absolutely no trepidation in those eyes, not even an inclination that it was a bad idea. In Emet-Selch's eyes, there was little that he considered 'bad ideas'-- and if the other ascians even knew what sort of self indulgence he was going to wallow in, they probably would've been shaking their heads.

Well what the Ascians and the Scions didn't know, right ]

Well, I am curious to see how you are built, I must confess..
