Ajax chuckled softly as Daxon asked her twenty questions, he simply stood there holding her in his arms still as she banged on his chest.

"Well my love," he said keeping up the image that they were together, " this is a small pastime of mine. I only do this every once in awhile. Maybe once a month, why did you follow me here?" he asked.

Just as he spoke his last words the ring leader called his name, sighing he leaned down and kissed her once more. Picking her up in his arms a he did so, so she couldn't weasel her way out. Setting her back down he smiled a rather bright and hidden smile.

"Please go My love, I would rather you not watch this," he said smiling, though deep down he was ashamed and kind of sad.

He turned and walked away, making his way to the ring. His fight tonight was not going to be a normal fight, where he would go a few rounds then KO the other guy. No tonight he was losing on purpose, he had a debate to pay and this is what the debt collector wanted....fame. Ajax took a deep breath and squared up to fight, his pose was not that of a normal fighter for England. He had leaned many different styles over his life time, but his favorite was Maui Tai. As the fight started Ajax would move about, dodging and weaving, making small strikes here and there. Making it look like a powerful attack but he would pull back at the last second. As the man would make his strikes he would act as if they were harmful to him, just as the man kicked him in the knee he went down. His fist hit the ground holding himself up, trying to make it look believable. the man moved in for the finally strike, taking a breath Ajax moved quickly and stood back up as the man twisted and connected with his neck. Ajax nodded slightly to the man as he nodded back mouthing thank you quickly.

Ajax went down, he was bleeding and rather bruised up from the opening he had left. He laid there "unconscious", it took 3 men to pick him up and take him to the infirmary, or rather the make shift one. As he laid there he took breaths as usual but kept his eyes closed, making himself limp as not to make others think he through the fight.

---

It seemed as though this rough man rather liked holding Daxin in his arms as he made sure to keep her from slipping out of his grasp. The girl halfheartedly pulled her body from him in an attempt to get free. Sadly she was unable to and when Ajax spoke in a soft tone that made prickles move up her back Daxin felt even more helpless.
My love. His words were sweet and melting as the skin of her cheaks burned with embarrassment.
The girl closed her eyes and did her best to fight a smile from pulling its way to her face. this was not going to work but then again she remebered that he was trying to protect her. That awful pub rat was bound to be keeping his eyes on her after she had snuck in after her brute of a Minotaur killing, animal loving Ajax. Daxin frownd when the man started to explain himself to her.
Pastime? The thought loomed in her mind and suddenly Daxin was brought back when Ajax asked her why she was even in such a dirty, grungy place such as this. Daxin was about to take a moment to ponder a answer when Ajax was called up to the ring. She frowned as he let go of her and moved his way to the center for his fight. Before the match the girl sized up Ajax's aponent with ease. The man was human and with one punch Ajax wa bound to send him flying or to a deep sleep. She simply had no doubt that the victor was going to be Ajax. He was favorite and most worthy.
Once the bell was wrung Daxin was all to egar to cheer for Ajax but suddenly it changed when his srikes did not land, his aponenst hits landed and Ajax seemed to be in pain.....WAS THAT REALLY PAIN? Was this HUMAN really harming the mighty Ajax protecter of the forest and Minotaur killer? He was an outstanding fighter and Daxin was baffled that he could even be brought to harm. She grumbled to herself as the last hit was taken and Ajax was on the floor. How could this happen? Why was he letting it happen? A bit of anger built up inside the girl as she watched some humans struggle to lift the man off the floor.
DAxin scoffed was she had her arms crossed. This was just not going to do. No wonder he wanted her to leave. He did no want her to see him fall by the hand of a measily human. The man was obviously going to throw a fight and he wanted her not to wittness it. Daxin felt her fist tigthen in annoyance and she badly wanted to question him and maybe give him a strike of her own. Quickly Daxin turned around and moved her way to the table that Ajax had left his belongings. She scouped them up and stommped her way to the infirmary ready to give Ajax a piece of her mind.
Daxin payed no heed as she intruded on Ajax laying down. The angry woman slapped his coat and shirt on his bare stomach with force before she crossed her arms and turned her shoulder to him. "I expect you will explain this later if you still want me to acompany you to that party your oh so throwing for the season," she growled.

---

Ajax opened a single eye and smirked slightly, closing it quickly as he heard footsteps and making a poker face. The "doctor" walked in and through his bag on the chair, "So the mighty have fallen have they?" he sad chuckling pulling out his stethoscope. Placing it on Ajax's chest he listened carefully, "well he isn't dead" he chuckled. Daxon snapped her eyes to the doctor, "No mortal man can harm my Mighty Ajax," she growled looking back at the wall. The doctor looked at the women and raised a brow, "No what? never mind" he said quickly pulling a few things from his bag and wrapping Ajax's wounds. "He is surprisingly lucky, those strikes from Lord Arlen where dead on. I guess Maui Tai is no match for kick boxing." he said shrugging. "Anyway watch over...," he was cut of as two women ran into the room throwing themselves on Ajax. Ajax did not move, he knew it would all be bad I he "woke" up right now with Daxon in the room as well.

So Ajax laid there as the girls cried and fought over whom was going to take care of Sir Nerio, the Doctor shook his head and walked out after packing his things. The blonde of the two started to scream louder as she saw that Ajax was wrapped in bandages, "Sir Nerio please be okay, I wont leave your side till you are healed I promise." The redhead snapped her head to the blonde and with tear filled eyes, "No you whore I will be the one taking care of him, I am in fact the one that knows him best, I have kissed him in fact you haven't" Just then the girls looked back at Daxon, "and who are you, you shouldn't be here whence" they both said. Looking back at Ajax they cried and started to fight again over whom was going to watch over him. Things started to escalate as the girls started to pull each others hair and slap one another. Just as one of the women bumped the bed, smoothing fell from Ajax's coat. It was a flawless sapphire, shaped into the form of an Owl with emerald eyes.

---

Daxin was listening to the doctor as he spoke about Maui Tai. This was really annoying having to listen to such rubbish. The girl had her arms crossed and soon two young ladies stumbled in the room with tears. They cried and the blond spoke with a bit too familiarity over Ajax.

"Sir Nerio please be okay, I wont leave your side till you are healed I promise." the woman cried. Daxin rolled her eyes at the scene knowing that these two were just a few of his whores or admirers. She took a deep breath and watched as the other got angry and spoke.

"No you whore I will be the one taking care of him, I am in fact the one that knows him best, I have kissed him in fact you haven't" the redhead sarted and jus as soon as she barked at the other the two turned to Daxin with question. "and who are you, you shouldn't be here whence" One said.

Whence? Daxin was not having any of this. The woman took a step forward as she smiled maliciously. Her dark orbs studying the two from nose to heel as a preditor would its prey. "Who am I?" she asked curiously as her heels began to circle the two girls.
"I do believe that such a question IS MINE to be asking." her eyes narrowed as she spat. "Do you silly little girls even know who you are even crying over? How long have you even known this man? A month? hmmm?.....A year? hmmm?....I doubt so. Or maybe you have known him falf his life and have played in the sand with him as toddlers?.." her eyes scanned both confused faces.

"That is enough. I am sick of your crying and sobbing over him." she stopped her feet and turned to Ajax. A soft sweet smile pulled at her lips as she thought about how kind he was to her when she was younger then it all faded away when she remembered that two childeren were crying over him. Her eyes moved back to them. "I dont believe you even know what he is capable of....The tiniest of minds could not even fatham and...yet here you are trying to state your claim over him you little insects,"

Both girls were flustered by Daxin now. The woman was talking down to them as though she knew him well. Who was she anyways? In anger the redhead stepped forward as Daxin slowly reached a hand to the side of Ajax's face and was about to stroke his cheak. The girl Raised her hand ans striked it across Daxins face with force.

Daxin growled from the pain and turned her eyes to the girl before she pounced on her attacker. Daxin grabbed a fist full of hair and slammed the girls head against the wall nearby. Daxin tossed the girl on the floor and stood up straight beconing for the other to aproach as well. Sadly Daxin was not going to be able to teach the other a lesson since both girls srunk back out of arms reach. "GET OUT!" Daxin ordered the two as she took a step forward. Both girls seemed to baffled and scared to fight back so they turned on their heels and ran.

When Daxin turned back to Ajax she noticed that in her squable that something was on the floor. Her eyes narrowed in and soon spotted the sappihre that was the shape of an owl. Daxins eyes grew wide in shock but soon she swooped down and snatched the item from the floor. She stood cradling it in her fingers as she studied it. COuld this really be? Daxin turned to Ajax and aimed her fist into his stomach. "stop playing dead already you fool,"

---

Ajax caught Daxin's wrist pulling her to him, the cradled gem fell as he did this. Catching it in his hand he set it on the chair, wrapping his arms around her he cradled her like a man would his loved one. "I am sorry you had to see that, I threw that fight for...a friend. An about the girls thank you for getting rid of the annoying pests, and so you know the kiss she was talking about was a kiss on the cheek that she turned and kissed me; then ran off." he chuckled, "Nothing like ours." He said taking her delicate face in his rather large rough hands, pulling her chin up he kissed her once more. As he did he heard soft sobs and quick foots steps from the door, not caring he released the kiss from her lips. Yet it felt more like tearing part of his own flesh from half flayed skin. Sighing he simply held her in his arms, closing his eyes he finally felt whole. Daxin fit to him as if he and she were born this way, or so he felt. He did not know what she felt or how she felt about him. Hell she might just be doing what Athena did, as he thought his arms loosened and his heart seemed to sink. He could not lose someone else. That is why he...hide from there world, why he ran instead of fighting.

A single tear fell from his eye, sliding down his cheek. Shaking his head he put a smile on and opened his eyes looking to Daxin. "I am sorry. please forgive.......your mighty Ajax, will you?" he said that with as much happiness as possible. Yet deep down in his soul it felt like a demon was speaking to him telling him the most pessimistic things possible. Mostly about how Daxin was only using him. Ajax tried to fight the thoughts back, tried to fight the voices in his head. No Daxin was here she would not do that to him. Then as if that thought triggered a memory, he saw Daxin's face when he had fallen from Olympus. He had not paid attention before, only seeing Athena turn her back on him no tears in her eyes. No the one with tears was Daxin, she even had her arm stretched out to him as Athena pulled her away from the balcony.

Ajax snapped back to reality, did that really happen? Clearing his throat he decided to ask, "Squirt, did you cry for me when you saw me falling from Olympus?" he asked softly and very low, so low that only she could hear him speak. His voice was not its usual gruff and harsh sound. No something seemed to have changed, as if he was in pain; as if he was raging an internal battle with himself.

---

Daxin yelped when Ajax grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. She was not expecing it from him since he was oly trying to apease the pub dog to save Daxin. She felt her cheaks warm up and her lips quivered trying to smile again. The girl battled it and closed her eyes as he started to explain himself. THis situation was not going to get any better she felt as she simply ignored his words.

"Nothing like ours." That brought Daxin back to the conversation. Ours? She opened her eyes and looked at him but soon his hands were at her face and Daxin could feel him pull her into a soft kiss. His hot lips with rough texture seemed to pull her in even after he had stopped. Daxins eyes melted shut and a soft moan escaped her lips. The girl snapped her eyes open and moved her lips from his as she tried to keep him from seeing her reaction. Daxin closed her eyes as he held her to him. It felt as though he did not want to let go since he sayed holding her for such a long period of time.

"I am sorry. please forgive.......your mighty Ajax, will you?" Daxin looked up at him as he spoke. She scoffed at him and pouted her lips. "Just this once!" Daxin spat out quickly and moved her eyes from him. THis was awful. The anger she had felt was not here at the moment. RIght now she wanted to stay in his arms and yet she had no idea why. This man was sily trying to tease her.

"Squirt, did you cry for me when you saw me falling from Olympus?" DAxin rolled her eyes at his words. Oh he was using such a childish way to address her. Daxin did her best to not let her mind wonder back to that time. It was long ago and left many heartbreaks in his trail. "Now is not the time to be speaking bou this you. Also why did you throw a fight?" her eyes narrowed as she watched him. "That is not the Ajax I know. Who are you?" She ondered why she was even asking him this when he did explain it was for a friend. A fight thrown for a friend was odd but she took a deep breathe. "Please Ajax. Lets leave this pub and be on our way to a cleaner place," she slowly plaed a finger under his chin knowing that he was feeling a bit down. " I want to spend more time with you and yet things keep coming inbetween us," she smiled softly.

Daxin bit her lower lip as she looked at him. "Was rooting for you to win that fight. You are my favorite champion you know that right?" the blue eyed girl smirked softly.

Ajax smiled and stood up, setting Daxin on her feet. After she spoke to him. Smiling the shirt on the chair he went to pull it on and it ripped, come to find out that wasn't his shirt. "opps" was all he said as he took it off, pulling his wallet from his pocket he dropped a few bills on the chair and dropped the shirt on it. Looking around he searched for his shirt, "I lost because my friend needed help with some money, he was in a bind so i decided to help. Is that so bad? and I know you where, i saw the look on your pretty little face" he said kissing her forehead.

"ah ha," he said walking over to a shirt and pulling it on, he unbuttoned his pants with out thinking and pulled them down a little. Forgetting his laundry wasn't done so he was going commando, he stuffed the shirt in his pants and pulled them up and buttoned them once more. Straightening out his shirt he pulled on his jacket and grabbed his hat. "Well where would the lady like to go? Dinner at my place perhaps, or your's? I mean its right across the street after all." He said chuckling softly.

She watched as he changed and felt a bit out of her element. THis man was going to make sure she died prematurely if she kept worrying about him. Daxin flinched when he kissed her forehead but still waited. Her eyes glanced about the room as he spoke.
"You simply are too kind to others," she breathed then he asked where she wanted to go. "Your home sounds much better then mine. I still have many things to do before its ready for guests Dear Ajax," she started towards the door.
If that rotten nosey man was still around she was debating on swatting at his face. Daxin took hold of her skirt so that she would not step on it as she left the room. "Shall we leave now?" her orbs moved to Ajax in question.

Ajax shrugged and grabbed Daxin around the waist once more and hugged her small delicate form, kissing her forehead he smiled and let go sticking his arm out so she could loop hers in his. As she did so he began to walk, the crowd parted as he walked through it. The people who where fawning over Lord Arlen stopped and looked at Ajax as he moved through the crowed, shocked looks on there faces, as if to say this man was a monster if he was able to walk so fast after being beaten that badly. As they walked out of the alley he started off towards his home, "so why can't I of all people be in your home? if i remember right your room in our home was always a mess, couldn't step anywere with out hurting my feet." he said chuckling.

When he took her waist Daxin fought a smile from pulling at her lips. She took his arm and followed with poise as they exited the room. Outside she noticed eyes darting to him in question and she could tell that they had no idea what was going on. Daxin smirked softly knowing that they had no clue who Ajax was.
No idea that he was a mighty man with power beyond their reach. Silly humans with no brains or knowlage. She was watching as they left the pub with so many people walking about the streets. After a few minutes she was caught off guard when he spoke about her room.
Daxin felt her cheeks turn a light pink at his words. "That is not fair..I was a child and now Im many years passed that so Do not be expecting what you saw before you brute," Daxin reached up a hand and flicked at his nose as she pouted. She kept following him and held his arm tight. "Is there anything you came to town for besides to throw a fight?" her eyes moved up to him in wonder.

Ajax snapped at Daxin's fingers as she flicked his nose, "you're still a messy little girl to me" hes said chuckling. "only thing now is that i have to worry about is bra's and panties, i mean i might see those anyway, on my floor" he paused and looked at her a rather giant grin on his face, "I am joking Dax," he said laughing a bit. As they walked he noticed men looking at her, a low growl rumbled in his throat. Though he didn't know why it wasn't as if Daxin was his, he wasn't seen her nor was she his wife. He doubted she wanted more then what they had now, she was probably following Athena using him to get what she wanted. Sighing he stopped paying attention to the other men and continued the short walk.

He knew he had ignored her question about what he wanted in town, but the only reason he had come was because of Daxin. As they rounded the entrance to his house he stopped and let Daxin take a few steps away from him. "i'll be right in, go ahead inside with out me. Tell then Ajax told you that you could enter and to treat you as if I was him. They will take care of you just fine, i'll find you in a moment" He said turning around quickly he walked through a few bushes and vanished in thin air his foot steps even becoming silent as his feet touched the ground of the forest around his home.

Ajax moved deep with in his property, the forest almost as think as a jungle, as he neared his place of peace a few sprites flew around him and landed on his shoulders, his human clothing started to catch on fire and burn from his skin. He was eventually naked next to the spring and stepped into it. Down to his waist he let the water flow over him as he leaned back, his long hair fanning out in the water. Closing his eyes he calmed himself, as he floated on top of the water. The sprites sat on his chest and used him as a raft of sorts.

When he said that he had to worry about bras and panties Daxin turned bright red and she stopped. "Why must you be such a menace?" That was really not what she had hoped he would be saying. Her mind shifted to the two girls that had been fighting over him and the one that had sat on his lap at the cafe.
Anger rushed through her veins at the thought. He must have seen plenty of bras and panties many times from those wenches. She did not want to get angry over such trival matters but she was. Was this jealousy? Her? Jealous of a few stupid humans with no brains?

Daxin grumbled a bit then noticed Ajax stop infront of his home. She listened to him speak about going inside without him and had no idea what to say. She sighed and watched as he let go of her hands and disapeared. If he was tired of her following him like a deranged stalker then she would stay still. Daxin entered the house and said exactly what he had told her. The maids made sure to treat her with care and she decided to wait for Ajax in the parlor with a cup of tea.

She slumped down into her seat and glanced at the cup in her hand as the teabag bobbed up in the the liquid. A light sigh escaped her lips as she thought about tonight. If anymore of his pesky human friends showed up she would either leave or knock his block off...Thata one was rather brash. She was not his mother nor anything important to him so she had no right to act in such a way. Daxin bit her lower lip wondering when he would be back. That annoying brute had to show up sometime.

Ajax floated there for a few more moments, the sprites talked to him as he talked back. Though if anyone where to listen all that could be heard was squeaking. Pushing his head into the water and flipping over he stood up, the sprites having flew up then landed on his shoulders again. As he walked out of the water, pants formed around his waist and formed from the water clinging to his body. The color the same as the spring now behind him, as he passed the trees he touched them softly, feeling invigorated as he made sure each was healthy that he walked past, as well ask asking about the other tree's in his private forest.

As he walked in the back door, his eye connected with Daxin's, "hello Dax" he said softly. Looking over he whispered to the birds perched over head. "So just so you know since my friends said you looked rather mad, the only women i have laid in bed with is your sister Athena, no other women has seen me naked from the waist down, got that?" he said walking over and plopping down in the stone chair obviously made for him.

When Ajax walked in Daxin's eyes shifted to him as he neared. When he spoke she had no clue what he was even saying. Was it really on his mind? She looked back down at her cup and took a deep breath. "Is this nessassary to speak of?" her eyes turned back up to him.
"Your sexual progress does not concern me so what reason is it that you felt the need to speak it? A few friends said I looked mad?" she tilted her head to the side. "I was very much mad that you allowed such humans to cling to you when you are someone that is above such things..I had hoped that infact but simply...You are just a person who wants to tell about his endevers to those who will listen. While you want to be heard I simply do not care,"
Daxin spoke as she closed her eyes and fought to keep a stern look on her face. She fought to keep her cheeks from turning red since this conversation was not what she had expected. Why did he have to say this? Was he a mind reader? Did he know every thought she made about him? Daxin crossed her legs and watched him.
"I am here simply to catch up with you not your personal matters Ajax so please can we talk about why on earth this place of all places is so important to you and why have you not even tried looking for me?" she pouted and stood up. "I have been worried sick about you ever since all that awful drama had errupted." she crossed her arms.

Ajax smirked, squeaking could be heard from his left shoulder as a Air sprite walked out from behind his hair. "Actually no I am not a mind reader, but my friend here is. It is quite nice to have them around when you have people in your home. I said this because you called the females who flirt with me wenches, when I have done nothing more then talk to them as a gentleman. I have been waiting for someone who truly loves me. As for not looking for you, i was stuck in certain places protecting as best i could the small part of forest i could. I have been here for the past two hundred years protecting this 10 acres of forest from humans hands, I have added to it as well as brought animals to it here. As well as a few other races. I am there guardian, tis' all i knew after your..." he paused as the sprite squeaked to him. "Calming himself after his face started to turn a rather deep red, and it seemed as if the flames from hell lite in his eyes, he spoke once more. "sister tricked me and had me thrown from mount Olympus. From you and all I knew.....she did that because I fell in love with yo...." he stopped and turned his head from her his hair hiding his face. His shirtless chest Rising and falling with deep breaths, emberacment obviously scenting him.

Daxins eyes grew wide when he practically said that he knew what she was thinking. Help or not she was angry. How could this happen? His sprite could tell all her dirty secretes at any moment and she would simply be an open book to him. His words made it clear making Daxins face turn a dark red. She felt so uncomfortable and almost naked by the thought. Her breathing elevated and she did not know what to do.

When he changed the subject to his taking care of the forest she decided to listen intently and try to keep her mind in order. So he was busy and could not worry about others. When he said that Athena had tricked him she was in shock. How could such a thing be true?
she herself even seen the look on his face just a while ago when he was at the cafe talking about her. He was in so much pain. How could Athena even do such a thing? Daxin took a step back and was about to speak when she heard him say ".she did that because I fell in love with yo...."

Her eyes flicked and her attention was now on Ajax. He fell in love with yo? Her eyes scanned him as he turned around all the while she could feel her face burn and she was getting uneasy. "With..yo?" she took a step towards him and her eyes moved to the sprite. "YOU keep your mouth shut and do not butt into this got it!!"
Daxin gulped hard feeling nothing move. She closed her eyes and bit her lip as she debated. He had to...it had to have been what he was going to say. She looked at him a bit curooius yet in shock. DId she want to hear it?
FInishing his sentence would make her uneasy for sure but she wanted to hear it. She wanted some kind of closure if he could provide it. Daxin bit her lip. "Dammit!!" she growled not knowing what to do. Apart of her wanted to sew his mouth shut and the other wanted him to speak. She stood frozen not sure of what to do. She did not have the power to rewind time but she badly wanted to.

"Just say it...Please," she breathed finally as she closed her eyes. "I...Ill leave once you say it if you want,"

Ajax simply sat there angry at himself for saying as much as he did, He would give any, no it was time he told her everything. Taking a deep breath he turned just as she was telling him to say it please. "I love you Daxin Sinclair, you whom have never looked at me with oddly. Who always cared about this annoying brute" he grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap and held her tightly for a moment and then let his hands fall to his sides. "go if you want, i would rather you stay. But you have always done what you wanted anyway so do as you wish." he said looking over and placing his chin in his hand, his elbow rested on the armrest of the stone chair.

The sprite had left already but she was zooming back to the spring to tell her friends Ajax finally told Daxin.

Daxin's eyes grew wide when he finally spilled the beans. Her mind was spiralling out of control not sure of what she had heard was true. She wanted it to be true yet she was very much scared. THis was not what she was best at. When he took her hand and pulled her Daxin was helpless as she sat on his lap.
Her yes probed his face for answers since she was not sure how this was possible. She took a deep breath and watched as he seemed misrable. Why was he sad after telling her? Was he lying? was he sad over that? What was happening? Daxin took a deep breath as the corners of her lips curved.
He...REALLY SAID IT. She bit her lower lip as she looked at the side of his face. He was sad but he must have been very worried about her reaction. She took a deep breath after she decided and reached over pressing her lips against his cheek softly. "I will take that," she climbed off his lap and started towards the door. She stopped and turned to him. "Stop brooding you old tub of grump. I will see you tomorrow," she smiled then left the room.

On her way home Daxin felt relieved. She was not stuck fighting her fears and wanting to kill Ajax at the same time. She felt content and not stressed. She made her way back to her home and decided to plan on what she would wear for tomorrow night.

Ajax was rather sad that Daxin, left him to mull over what he had said. What a bitch, but he loved her so it was honestly, as the humans said, "Whatever", He stood up and went to his room and fell on the bed passing out, the sprites magical pants on him vanishing so he was left mooning the world.

In the morning Daxin woke up early and made her way over to his home. She barged into Ajax's room happy as can be until she spotted his naked bumb. She shrieked softly and turned around while the maid ran to cover him up. Once he was covered she took a deep breath and walked over to his bed.
She dove onto his bed not caring if she woke him infact she wanted to startle him. "Get up yo ofe!!" she laughed and placed a hand on his shoulder. She lowered her chin and rested in on him and smiled. "I thought you were very busy today and look I see that you are not," she cooed.

Ajax grumbled and looked up at the grandfather clock next to his bed, "women do you know what time it is?" he growled as he leaned up and kissed her lips. Getting up he let the sheet fall. Stretching his bones cracked, she could now see that Ajax was more scared then what it seemed like it was last night. His entire body was scared, the only part of him that didn't have a scare was his face. Moving to his closet he stood there legs apart and hands behind his back resting just above his bare bum, "So what should I wear this morning? Wait why are we up this early? either way, hmmmm" he thought to himself more then anything but he knew that Daxin would chime in. His thoughts and he had calmed down now that he had told her last night, he did not know if things where going to change but he decided that if they did he would accept them, good or bad.

After getting dressed Ajax made his way down stairs and out the back door, Daxin in toe hopefully. He was walking to the spring to make sure that the other occupants of the land where faring well this morning. And he wanted some fruit from the mermaids, they always picked the freshest and best fruit from the depths of the spring. Well to most it looked to be a spring but it was more of a lake under ground, they simply swam up to greet and interact with Ajax, since he was so kind as to rescue the original four from being killed by fishermen, some hundred years ago.

Daxin giggled when he got mad and when he kissed her kissed him back. WHen he sat up she watched him and oticed his scars. THis man had seen so much that she was unaware of sadly. SHe laughed as he questiond them being up so early and climbed off the bed before moving to his side.
" I decided that since you are 'soooo busy' planning for tonight that I would acompany you but your so teary eyed still and need to spend the day up and entertained."' she turned so he could change. "Simply you must need breakfast and want to spend time relaxing until you have to host," she smiled. When he decided to leave the room and head downstairs she followed in toe prancing about like the child she used to be.
Daxin followed him outside to his pond and studied it. THis must have been the place that sprite was from. That one that gave away her secrets. She bit her lip trying to ignore the thought.

Daxin watched in aww as Ajax fed his forest creatures. It was a beautiful sight to see for sure. She waited patiently and smiled in amazement since mermaids were a thing of the past that she thought was exinct. Aparently Ajax took care to keep them alive. When he was done with his time Daxin grabbed hold of his hand and started to pull. "Breakfast and sight seeing in the city please," she smiled brightly.

Ajax pinned her to a tree after lifting her to his height and kissed her, his hands where holding her bum to keep her up as he kissed her, he was happy. He had his forest and the women he loved, he could care less for the world out side his 10 foot stones walls. "do we have to? Can't we just stay here?" he said chuckling against her lips kissing her more. After a few moments of kissing her lips and neck he set her down, "Well i suppose we can if it is your wish, Oh and so you know...you might have to turn into an evil bitch a few times tonight. Just forwarning you" he said chuckling as he turned and left her hand still intertwined with his.

As the roamed the city Ajax simply smiled watchig her oo and aww at all the "wonders" of the city. He had seen it all already, hell he owned half if not more of it. But she had not and she wouldn't know he owned most of the city. As they shopped he was content simply being with her.

SHe was happy and hoping that he would follow until Ajax pinned her to the tree. Her eyes grew wide in shock and she llet out a small squeek.When he held her in place and picked her up she was not sure what to do. His lips pressed against hers and she felt less worry. Her lips moved agianst his tenderly and she smiled.

"do we have to? Can't we just stay here?" Ajax whined making Dax laugh and noded.

"Yes, I want to see this city," she smiled then kissed him back happily. When he let her go she took a moment to gather her mind before focusing on her goal.

"Well i suppose we can if it is your wish, Oh and so you know...you might have to turn into an evil bitch a few times tonight. Just forwarning you" That made her eyes move to Ajax. What on earth? "W Why is that?" her eyes followed him curiously as he lead her out of the garden.

IN the city Daxin dragged Ajax to as many stored and sights that she thought were worthy of her presence. She had a ball looking at the new things and shopping a bit. She knew that he had no interest in such things but she was thankful that he was patient. After a few hours of standing Daxin got a bit tired and turned to Ajax. "alright my fun is over," she yawned and glanced about. "Shall we return?" she looked back up at him and smiled.

Ajax hooked Daxins arm and the walked back to his house, it was about three when they were back home and he made sure to take her to his bed and toss her into it and then pinned her down. "what you gunna do now little one?" he said chuckling leaning down and kissing up her neck to her lips. His hand moved down her arms and to her waist as he flipped her over and sat her on his hips. "we have a few hours before I have to get ready for this rather boring party, though I think since you are here it will be quit...entertaining" he said chuckling softly. Thrusting his hips up he made her fall into a kiss once more, "and to answer your question from earlier I mean the women whom think i am single, though i think i still am technically...for now" he said smirking. "Unless you want to be my mate that is" he said his cheeks turning slightly red.

After a few hours of laying in bed with her and kissing her, it was time for the ball. He had his servants talk with hers and bring her clothing over and had hung it up in his closet. Getting up he started to strip and change into his ball outfit. "Sweeti your is over there hanging up'" he said pointing with his nose to her gown. He chuckled since she had no where to hide to change, so he sat down and decided to watch. "Now come now get changed, we have to be down there in thirty minutes." he said with a wide grin. He had an arm-ware and a few different types of make-up delivered while they were out for her as well. His female made had come in and waited to assist Daxin in changing. "O don't be scared, I have already seen you naked plenty of times, though you had a boyish figure back then," he said chuckling to himself.
