How do you distinguish between Fae and Demons?

{Curiosity has gotten the better of him. The former doesn't exist in his world - as far as he is aware - but there are similarities.}

I am seeking a woman. I have been unable to track her, which tells me I might have been fooled.

{Someone must pay for that.}

Comments

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Yes, this is a relieved sigh.}

I could not catch her scent.

[soakedinvinegar]

HAve you been searching all this time?

[prince_of_the_moon]

Yes. After that night, it felt like she disappeared.

[soakedinvinegar]

She did. The spell wore off.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He stiffens and narrows his eyes.}

She was a trick?

[soakedinvinegar]

A trick of this place. She is me.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{She...is...a he? Sesshomaru had...

Well this is a first, however he doesn't find that his interest...wanes.

Another first.}

You are not lying. {He feels he would know, but everything has been turned on its head, please give him a few minutes.}

[soakedinvinegar]

(( He can see the surprise. So when he continues, it's more gently. ))

I have no reason to lie to you. After all, I rather enjoyed our time together. It was an interesting experience for me.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{The urge to growl claws at his throat, but he remembers her and he stifles it.}

I had wondered if you were with child. {Yes, that is partially a joke.} What is your name?

[soakedinvinegar]

That would be a true test of this place's magic.

Wen Kexing.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He almost smiles.}

You were an alluring woman.

{Those eyes are the same, aren't they.}

Wen Kexing.

[soakedinvinegar]

I like to think I'm an alluring man, as well.

[prince_of_the_moon]

How can I know if we've never crossed paths?

[soakedinvinegar]

We can always remedy that.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I will find you.

[soakedinvinegar]

I live at Four Seasons Manor.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Guess who comes to visit? You get three tries. Sesshomaru lands before the manor and walks to the door. He raps on the barrier three times and then...waits.

Hello.}

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Well, well, well. Kexing arrives at the gates with a grin. Little about his has changed since their last meeting, except his shape. There's still heat in his eyes and confidence in his movements. HE knows his beauty and his worth. ))

Welcome to my home.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Sesshomaru is drawn to Kexing again, entering the man's personal space, inhaling his scent. Though everything about Kexing is obviously masculine, he remains intrigued.}

I have been here before.

[soakedinvinegar]

(( If Kexing is at all bothered by the lack of distance between them, he doesn't show it. He cants his head in a silent invitation to let Sesshomaru breathe him in. ))

Oh? (( A curious brow arches. )) With Zhou Zishu?

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Breathing in the scent is no longer adequate. Sesshomaru gives into his instinct and parts his lips, sucking on the soft skin to gain a taste.}

And before him, I had tea with the dragon.

[soakedinvinegar]

Ah, Runyu. He is, indeed, a fine host.

(( Wen Kexing sucks in a breath, leaving Sesshomaru to explore as he will. It's his understanding that the demon's interests don't usually tend toward men. The least he can do is welcome that rare interest. ))

Perhaps we should find someplace more private to talk.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I bore evidence of my battle with Naraku. Runyu healed me.

{Well he has had you once, Kexing. Your scent, your smile, the way you moved then had drawn him. Sesshomaru is more pliable than he originally guessed, but he has exactly zero experience with men.}

I will follow you. {His breath is hot against Kexing's ear and his hands smooth down the man's back.}

[soakedinvinegar]

(( Wen Kexing turns, full expecting that Sesshomaru will follow. There are plenty of unoccupied rooms in their compound and so he leads them to one of those. It didn't feel right taking the demon to the bed he shares with Zishu without Zishu taking part, as well. So he ducks into another nearby room and turns back to face Sesshomaru.

Without a word, he begins to strip out of his robes, letting each layer fall into a pool of silk at his feet until his skin is bared to the other's gaze. There's nothing innately feminine about his body. There's lithe muscle beneath the robes, the tell-tale shape of a martial artist. He's tall and slim, but clearly strong. Where soft curves had been are harder contours and sharp angles. ))

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He does follow and he approves of the privacy - as well as the faint scent of flowers on the air. This is a nice home and though he will always prefer outside, he can see the draw of this manor at least. Those disgusting buildings in the city are another matter entirely.

Not that architecture stays on his mind long. Sesshomaru tilts his head to watch Kexing disrobe, the spill of dark hair against pale skin making his heart beat quicker. So, male beauty can be equally captivating to him. A smirk curves his lips and he walks towards Kexing, running his fingers over those contours and angles.}

I saw a beauty walking in the moonlight and I wanted to be with her. Now I see the same beauty standing in a manor surrounded by flowers and I want to be with him.
