Rose followed after Cho, clinging to his hand as he walked. When they reached the mouth of the tunnel, she gasped at him lifting the rock with the spell. She could barely even lift a pebble, and he was lifting a boulder and holding it... She followed after him, in away, still holding his hand tightly.

Cho smiled as he continued walking deeper into the tunnel.  "I found this place on accident a while ago.  It was shortly after I left the Shrine after the Legion was disbanded.  I used what little magic I knew at the time to place that boulder over the entrance so no one else could find it.  At the time, I was weaker than I am now.  After barricading the door, I passed out.  I'm not sure how long I laid there, unconscious, but when I woke up, the only thing I could think to do with the predicament I was in was to make this place a home and train myself until I could lift that boulder easily without risking a blackout every time I wanted to get in--or out--of here... Ah, here we are..." He said, lifting both tails to the torches on the wall in front of them.  In between the torches was a doorway which easily swung open when Cho pushed it.  He slowly stepped inside and waited for Rose to follow.

[SirMax]

Rose listened attentively to his story, moving towards Cho as he entered the next room, not wanting to be far away from her paramour as he continued through the chambers. Gazing intently at him, she wondered how he'd trained in here alone...

[[25]]

[SpringsSong]

After the two were in the room, Cho breathed the word "Brisingr" gently.  Suddenly, the room was lit by several torches that lined the walls.  They were in a circular room of sorts with another door at the other end of it.  In the middle of the room was a table with two candles on it, which were lit with purple fire.  Off to the right was a bed with a feather mattress and silken sheets.  "Like it?" He asked.

{26}

[SirMax]

Rose gaped at the room, taking in the table, and the candles- that fire! It looked just like Cho's tail flames... And the light flickering around from the torch... and the BED. Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she daintily let go of Cho's hand and strolled silkily over to the bed, making sure to walk in the most allure way she could must before slipping under the sheets and gazing back at him.

[[26]]

[SpringsSong]

Cho smiled.  He had actually half-prepared for that to happen, in all honesty.  He walked over to the bed and slid under the sheets with her and smiled as he slipped his paws around her waist.  Oddly enough, the sheets were flameproof--one of Cho's own pieces of handiwork, since it was easier to fireproof something than to get the flames on his tails to go away.

[SirMax]

Rose smiled at Cho with a gleeful expression on her face as she snuggled into him, encircling his neck with her arms and kissing him, closing her eyes as she threw herself into the kiss, showing him just how strong her feelings were already. That speed had been what scared off all her other potential suitors, but Cho had gone even faster than her, already thinking about their kids... it made her smile. The only thing wrong... she shifted slightly, moving up a bit so that his hands dipped below her waist. Much better.

[[27]]

[SpringsSong]

Cho would have been smiling if he weren't locked in the kiss.  If anything made him happy right now, it was the fact that he had found a girl that accepted the idea of magic and wasn't scared to try it for herself.  That was what drew him to her so much: her spunk and her daring to try something new.

{28}

[SirMax]

And Rose was definitely interested in trying new things. Trying new things was something that Rose was very fond of, and magic was one of the things she would like to try. Another new thing that she'd like to try? Her eyes sparkled mischievously. She'd like to try Cho out, that was for sure....

[[28]]

[SpringsSong]

Cho's eyes slowly rolled up inside his head as his hands slowly wandered further down Rose's back.  He was enjoying this a lot; far more than he ever enjoyed Lina's company for that one night.  Rose would be there forever, he was certian.  After all, she clearly wanted him.  And he wanted her.

{29}

[SirMax]

Rose finally pulled away from Cho, gasping for breath, her chest heaving as she smiled at Cho, wriggling against him tauntingly as she let her tails wrap around his, making sure not to touch the flames on the end, but keeping her tails close to it, warming them from the violet flames. "You know, you can go a bit lower." she whispered in his ear, winking at him.

[[29]]

[SpringsSong]

Cho smiled as his hands slid ever so slightly lower until he felt the base fo Roses's tails.  He smiled as he said, "I know, Rose." He moved in a little closer to her, this time going not for her lips, but rather, her neck.  Maybe he was enjoying this too much... but that would be for Rose to decide.

{30}

[SirMax]

Rose wiggled as Cho's hand slid to the base of her tails, mewling as he let his hand drag as it moved. "Good." she said breathlessly, her tails curling with pleasure as they wrapped tighter around Cho's. As he kissed her neck, she purred and nibbled gently on his ear, letting him have free range.

[[30]]

[SpringsSong]

[[Almost time for the time jump.]]

Cho smiled as he felt Rose nibble on his ear.  She was so going along with this, when made Cho very happy indeed.  He pulled himself closer to her, smiling as he whispered into her ear all those wonderful sweet nothings that he had murmured into Lina's ear before she had vanished.  But Rose would remain there forever.

{31}

[SirMax]

((But I'm going to make you do it, as always. =P))

Rose would have been slightly affronted if she'd known the whispered were recycled, but, untroubled by the knowledge, she drunk them in like fine wine, revealing in each heartfelt word as she pressed herself closer into Cho, if that was possible. She was Cho's, and Cho was hers. Time for that to be proven.
