Her sleep was dreamless - no, that wasn't entirely true. It wasn't dreamless, for they were centered around one person and one person alone. Of course, that person being the one who was currently lying under her, being used as her personal bed. Hopefully he was comfortable. She had shifted a little in her sleep so she wasn't completely on top of him though.

Though as she came to start waking up, the events of the previous evening started filtering into her memory. The warmth of his body pressed against hers, the feel of his arms around her..what they did, and how.. oh and the fact that their clothing was still flung on the floor from their haste. WELL. She felt mighty embarrassed about that.

..she needed to get her clothing and dress - would she be able to slip free of Fang's arms? Well there's Cui too, who was contentedly sleeping on Tiara's back. It was like she was sandwiched in!

Tiara blushed again, "D-don't you worry about me~, you should be more concerned with yourself." She was going to insist he get dressed also or.. yeah! Reduce that temptation to stay with him and just..really drink in the sight of him. "I'll..manage just fine." She .. had no idea where her headdress was though.

The headdress was actually quite close to Fang's feet. Which would explain why she was missing it when she had such a hard time outright facing him without this.

If you say so~" He shrugged and retrieved his shirt, taking his time to put his pants back on.

WHY IS HE TAKING HIS SWEET TIME.

T..tiara actually would have preferred he left his shirt for last--

No, wait, thinking things like that will make her end up pouncing him. And she was determined to be responsible and ...and at least check to see if they had any job requests.

Sneaking a glance over at Cui, who had yet to budge from his very very cozy spot on the bed.. Tiara sighed faintly. Staying in a little longer was sounding better and better. And the little fairy looking so cozy wasn't helping. She quickly glanced away with a faint grunt, fetching the clothes that she could see at a quick glance with an embarrassed blush.

To think she lost so much control over herself! "I DO say so, and I'll thank you not to doubt me." Hmph! Stay strong, Tiara! Don't be tempted by his rogueish demeanor and Cui's cuteness!

This time he was actually just moving at his natural pace. That was until he noticed her sneaking peeks from time to time which only made him deliberately slow down after that. To make matters worse he didn't even finish buttoning up his shirt letting some of his toned body still flash in Tiara's face as he yawned in that typical lazy fashion of his.

FANG YOU EVIL EVIL ROGUE. Tiara caught herself staring, a lingering gaze more than once, until she quickly, stubbornly looked away and focused on getting her own clothes back on. A little rumpled from lying on the floor all night, but she'd fix that shortly. "W.. what's taking you so long to dress yourself? YOu can't be that tired I-" she didn't work him THAT hard or long. Ahem. She ...doesn't say that of course.

Oh he wasn't even being that evil yet. Yet being the key word as Tiara decided to try and rush him while Fang made a show of checking out his body.

"Well I gotta make sure i cover up all the bites and scratches don't I~?" As if he was letting her forget what happened last night.

She choked slightly. S... she did do that didn't she? She had little defense against that actually! "I.. I can assure you you have." Says she who has certainly not been eyeing him rather (in her belief) sneakily the entire time he was so (she thought) focused ongetting dressed.

Once she slipped into her dress, she reached back to gather her hair up and fluff it over her clothing, tsking softly at the absolute -mess- it was in. See, this is why she liked wearing her headdress. It kept her hair nice and neat and orderly!

Fang had to fight tooth and nail with sheer will power to not burst into laughter seeing her look so conflicted about her handiwork. But then he saw her turn around just enough to fluff out her hair. An opening he immediately took advantage of as he took hold of Tiara from behind and buried his nose into her flowing hair.

Just when she was about to go look for her brush so she could straighten out her hair, she feels arms sliding around her, and yips a bit in surprise. "F.. Fang..!" Her protest fades a bit like he found an off switch.

She sighs, relaxing a little against him as she felt him burying his nose into that soft, silky hair, and a hand came up to gently brush against his cheek. "What are you doing..?" She was trying to tidy herself up ~~for him~~ for the morning and... well if he pulled her in his arms like this her schedule was going to be thrown off completely!

Not..that she was trying to get out of his arms any.

He doesn't say a word instead just breathes in her scent a ghost of a smile tugging at his lips from one ear to the other.

"Something....I've wanted to do for a long time." Fang purred sincerely, eyes closed in complete bliss.

Tiara sighed. Clearly she was going to have to amend her schedules to try to anticipate Fang's ambushes. "...you're going to completely throw my schedule into disarray you realize.." She smiled faintly, "It's difficult enough.." difficult enough to pull away from him - with his arms around her, she wanted to stay just like this with him.

Hnnnng, darn him, he had some kind of magic enchanting hugs. ".... I'll make you a deal if you let go."

"Well I'd say I'm sorry but that would be lying." Fang chuckled softly, pressing his lips a little more against her neck after he said those soft loving words.

"Oh a deal? I'm listening~"

"Mmmh, that is why I say you are such a rogue," Tiara chuckled softly. HER rogue though. Her sneaky, beloved rogue Fencer. Though she shivered a bit at the feel of his lips against her neck, "I.." Um. .. focus Tiara.

"If you allow break for breakfast, and reclaim my network device.. I.." She paused, glancing at Cui, who rolled over and stretched. "I will ..agree to staying in and staying in your arms a little longer." A little longer could be anywhere between an hour and all day though. But she'd be lying if she said lying in bed with him like this was an unpleasant thought.

"Hmmmm~ Okay that's an offer I can accept. In which case I think you'll need this~" He said producing her headdress from behind him since it had ended up on his pants and he had picked it up then.

Tiara grinned softly, accepting the headdress and leaning over to give him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth. "Thank you, Fang." And since he agreed, she slipped out of his arms to nab her brush, running it through her hair before she put her headdress on. Perfection once again!

"Shall we go?" And face the music of smug innkeepers? Well, she won't SAY anything at least. Though some of the other guests might grumble at each other about having trouble sleeping since some couple was incredibly loud the previous evening.

Oh! Oh he could totally get used to getting those kind of quick kisses more often. In fact he would hope it becomes a more frequent occurrence because of how it made his heart skip a beat.

Watching her sort her hair out was also strangely mesmerizing for the Fencer.

"Sure thing. As long as it's with you I'd go anywhere and stay anywhere after all."

It just might be more frequent. Though if she knew that he found her sorting her hair out mesmerizing, she might order him to brush her hair at some point. She'd love feeling him do it, that was for sure. Heck, she loved feeling him move his fingers through her hair to boot. It was heaven.

"Hmmhmm, that's only natural." As her servant. She reached out to take his hand and tug him closer as she made her way to the hallway, with Cui trotting along after them.

If she wanted to entrust herself to his hands in that endeavor then that was all up to Tiara. He would certainly do his best though. Tiara deserved nothing less.

His hand naturally moved to hold onto hers and the two of them finally left the room for the first time since they had moved in.

Once his hand was securely in hers, she glanced down at it with a soft smile taking over her face. That same smile remained as she glanced over at him. Her smile only got bigger when she turned her attention to where she was walking. Honestly her joy was reaching new heights right now, and when she watched Cui bound ahead of them with an extra bounce even in his steps, she couldn't help but giggle.

She was practically walking on air and Fang couldn't help but burst into chuckles whenever he saw how happy both her and the little fairy bounding off ahead of them as if to announce their imminent arrival.

She knew why SHE was giggling, but she glanced at Fang when he started chuckling out of seemingly nowhere. "And what are you laughing at?" She inquired, following Cui down the stairs.

Fortunately it wasn't -terribly- crowded, but they were arriving late so they did get a number of looks when Tiara and Fang put in an appearance downstairs. The smirk on the innkeeper's face was second to none.

"Oh nothing. Just at how you and Cui and so entirely on the same page~" Fang defended before tugging Tiara a little closer just as they came into view down the staircase.

"Good morning." He said greeting the inn keep.

"Oh.. that isn't so surprising. We are partners after all - you and Ery-" She stopped short with a surprised blink. HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE.

The innkeeper's grin nearly split her face in half, "Good morning. You almost missed breakfast - there's still quite a bit left though." Those two looked so cute to her. Though she couldn't help but wonder how it was that they took so long for them to get together when she had seen from the first day they checked in that they were perfect for each other~!

"Well then it's a good thing I worked up one hell of an appetite." Nop totally not caring how that makes it sound given recent events. Of course he didn't speak up in that regard for Tiara either.

Fang... do you not realize how embarrassing those statements are? Especially for people who might have...heard them? From the loud laughter a few tables away, either those gents DID catch that remark or they were laughing at something else entirely.

The innkeeper chuckled, "Mm, I had a feeling you might have." Though she knew he's always had a big appetite, she anticipated him wanting to eat even more today. "And you, milady? Are you as ravenous as he?"

"Certainly not!" Tiara answered quickly. "...although I won't turn down a sufficient portion for myself and Cui." She was pretty hungry, now that they were down here and smelling all the good smells.

The inkeep chuckled, "Sit tight kids, I'll get some food put together for you. You can eat to stay or take it back into your room."
