[i]Astra was being.. thanked? She didn't understand why, as she had done barely a thing for Irina, or at least nothing that was really special or extraordinary. She slowly blinked again, her embarrassment fading like snow at the mercy of a glaring desert sun, while her eyes changed colour once more; from a soft, ashamed purple, to a vibrant wine red, much softer and more mellow than the usual crimson. Another thing that she didn't understand was why the Vileblood had cupped her cheek and seemed so happy, but she didn't dare ask.
Astraeus thought for but a moment as she continued to look down, moving herself a little closer to get herself more comfortable, as instead of doing a constant push-up, she went and rested herself on her elbows and forearms, as a slight sigh of relief left her lips, gently brushing past Irina's soft, pale skin.[/i]
"Astraeus," [i]She quietly responded, or at least that's how it seemed to Irina, lest she fixed her eardrums,[/i] "Astraeus Alastor.."
[i]The angel continued to look down at the Vileblood as she shifted her own weight to her left elbow, freeing her right hand to reach over, slowly and gently caressing Irina's cheek upwards, fingertips then running through her hair. Softly and shyly the angel whispered a question in return, almost seeming hesitant and tentative..[/i]
"Who might you be, fair Maiden?"
[i]Really, now that the two women were so close to each other, faces only a mere few inches apart, the angelic woman began to notice Irina's own beauty; those beautifully sharp yet still very feminine features, with those icy blue eyes and that snow white hair.. Truly, the Vileblood was beautiful, and the angel approved, as the ashamed purple mixed itself into the mellow red.[/i]

[i]Astraeus.. Irina believed the name to have been from Greek origin, although she wasn't sure exactly. Recognizing the name, she nodded towards the angelic beauty, still smiling up at her with pearly, white teeth, shown briefly through her smiling, light pink lips.[/i] "Astraeus.. May I call you Astra? It means.. "star", in Latin, I believe.." [i]Irina said this with a richly sultry tone, as she found the name and the woman that it belonged to, to be...beautiful, in all layers. She kept her gloved hand upon Astra's face, reaching behind her neck and crisply caressing her midnight black hair, before pulling the angel in close, to where she could whisper..[/i] "...Irina, my angel.. Irina Elizia.." [i]She said, with a cute giggle-[/i] [i]-Suddenly, Irina placed her left hand upon Astra's right cheek, bringing the angel to look at her icy blue eyes as they met. Mere inches away, Irina stalled, before saying-[/i] "Forgive me, dear angel-" [i]-before bringing Astraeus' face into hers, pressing her soft lips against the angel's, closing her eyes as a fiery blush of red covered her previously pale face.[/i]

[i]Before the angelic Mary Sue even had a decent chance to respond to the Vileblood's sultry words - said sultry tone being awfully confusing to her - she was pulled into the kiss, which also took her by massive surprise. First the compliments and kind words, then the sultry tone, followed by this kiss.. really, the poor Astraeus just didn't understand it at all, as a million thoughts flashed through her mind in that very instant.. Yet, maybe it was a custom in these lands, to be like.. this to people one would consider.. an acquaintance? Or maybe a friend? Best friend? Astra really didn't know, nor did she understand, or even comprehend any of it -- she was foreign to this world, this very universe, after all. Humankind was very odd in this place, as they lived with strange species in this thing that they called the "Dojo", such as anthropomorphic animals, thighs that were downright alien, hulking humanoids, and a million other strange, normally unseen things. But, anyhow. Astra's eyes went from their soft red to a vibrant pink at the very moment that her lips touched with Irina's, as a burning red colour spread across her face. She slowly blinked a few times, confusion engraved into her visage.. and yet, she found herself pushing into the Vileblood ever so slightly, deepening the kiss just a little, while gently stroking her face. Slowly, bit by bit, the angel's eyes fluttered shut, as her resistance and objection crumbled little by little. One thing worthy of note, was that Astraeus' lips were wonderfully soft, gentle and tender, like two little, pinkish pillows, so smooth and soft.[/i] [spoiler]Shit reply, sorry babe[/spoiler]

[i]Probably around thirty seconds later, and the blushing Vileblood broke away slowly, their kiss broken apart by a soft *pop* noise. Irina's eyes fluttered open, her cybernetic, gloved hands still upon Astra's head as the woman smiled up at the angel. Her right hand retreated to her side, her left still upon the angel's jawline, thumb stroking Astraeus' cheek still. Irina's face returned to its natural pale, the blush fading as she spent around ten seconds in silence, staring at the angel with a loving smile. [/i] "...Well, ah.." [i]She blurted out, a slight pink blush returning as the Vileblood looked over nervously. Her free hand was suddenly clenched, although not into a full fist as if she would punch Astraeus afterwards.[/i] "...I, erm.. sorry if you aren't aware of the concept of love, and romance... it's just been a while, since anyone has been so... so.. perfect and kind and.. yeah."

[i]Slowly, the angelic woman blinked again, in confusion, as she had done a few times thus was, in this whole interaction between the two women. It was weird to her, how Irina was acting, what had happened, all of this.. yet a part of her wanted a little more -- and that was something she was going to show. Astra grinned, slowly shaking her head while she moved her left hand to the top of Irina's hand, running the long, slender digits through her snow white hair, slowly, softly, and gently. Astraeus' grin turned into a smile, showing part of her perfect, pristine teeth, while her eyes squinted just a little, as the irises became a literal rainbow of colours, all light and ranging from red to pink and even to purple. What a sight, what a sight.[/i] "Mmh," [i]She quietly broke the silence that had fallen, her head tilting to the right as she thought for a little. This newly formed silence lasted for a good minute, her own blush disappearing in the meantime.[/i] "My fair Maiden, [i]Irina[/i], you're correct there.. Love is a mystery to me still; feelings of affection and romance, too. However, if you want this with me, as I want it with you.. there's something that you should know." [i]Oh, no.. Astra merely looked down at Irina for a moment, letting the words sink in while she continued on with her little ministrations.[/i] "For starters, I'm an immortal; destined to live through the ages and for eternity, until combat takes my soul. Diseases have no hand over me, nor does age, nor the deterioration caused by both. My mind is protected, kept safe from insanity and illness, much like my body. Then, there's the thing that I was [i]made[/i] to do. I hunt those that have turned their backs to the light. Heretics, Sinners, Demons, Spirits, and other ill-minded denizens that roam and inhabit every plain of existence. To devote yourself to me would mean exposing yourself to this all." [i]Certainly, the angel proved to be much more interesting than Irina would have thought.[/i]

[i]Irina had listened silently to each and every one of Astraeus' words, a tint of interest within those cold, icy, yet oddly loving eyes. On one hand - Astraeus' immortality, and inability to die unless she was slain, was somewhat bad for Irina, mostly because she feared if what Astra would do whenever she found out about Irina's sins - either during her lifetime, or when she found herself in the depths of fiery Hell or.. wherever sinners headed when they died.[/i] [i]And.. well, Astraeus being a righteous sexy white knight crusader was certainly news to Irina, although it made considerable sense to her. It gave her the incentive to do good in her life, and to commit acts of honesty, righteousness, all that bullshit - Irina didn't know how she could handle it all, but it was certainly worth a try..[/i] "...I guess I'll have to find a way to become immortal now, shall I? Though.." [i]Irina giggled to herself as the angel stroked her hand through her pure white hair, as Irina still cupped Astra's cheek and continued to speak. [/i] "...Thank you for.. telling me, Astra. Knowing this.. I shall continue to devote myself to one such as yourself. If you are.. fine with it?"
