Daxin followed him unknowingly and not really caring but happy that she was with him. Ajax was easy for her to be around and she was happy that he had finally spoke up. To be honest she felt much happier that his affections belonged to her then to any other woman. She had no probblem following him to his room until he tossed her on the bed and pinned her down. Again she was in unknown territory and felt very unsure.

"what you gunna do now little one?" Ajax looked at her sternly before he started to kiss her.

Daxin's eyes were on his lips and almost squeeked when he kissed her. She kissed him back and felt his hands as they moved. She was in shock but yelped when he flipped her over. Daxin looked down at him as she tilted her head. Was this how he was with Athena?

"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" His words made her face burn until he made her fall forward and land on his lips. Daxin smiled and pressed her lips against his. She rather was getting accustomed to this now.

"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 red.

THose words made Daxin almost foam. She opened her mouth to reject. "N no," she leaned down and kissed him.

When Ajax got up to change Daxin stayed in bed a bit pouty. She laid down closing her eyes as she heard him. "I dont want to go now," she whispered as she thought about what he had said earlier. She did not like being a angry woman and did not want to be put in that situation.

"Sweetie yours is over there hanging up'" Ajax spoke making Dax snapped her head up. She opened her eyes and followed not really interested. For a moment she stayed still pondering the subject. If she had to watch more women leap to be at Ajax's side she would rip hair favorite dress apart. But then again if she did not make a showing tonight then it would give them permission to clasp on to him like leaches. She closed her eyes and slowly stood up from the bed before making her way to the dress.

"Now come now get changed, we have to be down there in thirty minutes." Ajax said with a wide grin.

Daxin opened her eyes and watched him as he sat down waiting for her to change. Aparently he had no problem with seeing her naked. "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.

Daxin rolled her eyes and took the dress holding it betweeen her fingers as she glanced around. He did have a closet and she was small enough to fit. She smirked at Ajax as she stepped backwards. "Then you have no problem If I change in here with my boyish figure," she stepped into the closet and stuck her tongue out a him before closing the door behind her. Inside Daxin stripped as fast as she could knowing that Ajax was not going to take this lightly. It was her race against him. If she could be dressed before he grabbed her then she would win. If not then she was subject to him seeing her with nothing on in all her shame.

Ajax smirked and was already on his feet and taking his second step to the door as he left her vision because of her sticking her head in before closing the doors. As he neared he grabbed the handles to his closet and opened them, steppe din and closed them behind him.

-----------------------------------------((40 min having passed with out interruption))-------------------------------------------------------------------

The maids below where running frantic as they got the party ready, one of the maids walked past her masters door and she heard a scream followed by words that made her turn red. She quickly left and ran to the head maid telling her that there master was not to be disturbed. But as usual Ire was the one to keep Ajax on a schedule, or at least she was till that women came along, she server ajax since he was little and new everything about him. Except who this women was, why was she allowed to run the house as she thought fit, stealing her master when he had duties to do. This was not acceptable, not for a lord of the city.

Banging on the door, "AJAX, MY LORD AJAX, " huffing she stormed and and threw the doors of the closet open. Only to find that both parties hand clothing on, though a little roughed up. "My Lord....who is this? you know I...don't ask questions much and keep your...secrets, but you have never had another female in the room with out one of your maids here with you."

Ajax was standing up fixing his garments as the doors flew open, he was immediately assaulted with a bombardment of questions from his personal and head maid, well more like a nanny. She had served in his house for going on forty years, she was the only on to have ever asked why he never aged or anything, the only one that found out and was allowed to stay with out a memory wipe. "Well Ire, this is Daxin, my long time friend from....my home...the young girl i told you about" as he said Daxin Ire blushed and bowed. She said something about forgiving her and it was a pleasure to finally meet the mystical women that he was so fondly in love with from her lords memories.

Ajax turned red a little, looking at his clock his eyes turned wide, it had already been the thirty minutes that they where spost to be ready in. "O you noticed the my lord, yes as usual you are late to your own party. Though i prefer you being late over these circumstances, then not wanting to go since you don't want to interact with your own guests. Now shoo shoo go," she said as she knelt fixing Ajax's pants then standing fixing his shirt and jacket. Moving over she fixed Daxins attire as well. "Now you two love birds get out of here. "and i or Lord Ajax will answer your questions later Mistress Daxin," she said bowing hurrying out the door going to get ready for the party for the night.

Ajax and Daxin walked out fo there room and down to the ball room floor where his guest where already gathering, a few dozen in the room already. Ajax counted sixty, as they where announced every one clapped, well mostly everyone. A few of the girls in the room looked rather mad.

Daxin had her corset around her and snapped her fingers making the loops and string tie in seconds. She was rather proud of herself until the door opend. She had her back facing the door as she quickly grabbed gor her dress but it was too late. Ajax had already beat her. She let out a quick squil in shock.

-----------------------[40 min later]-------------------

Daxin had Ajax hanging halfways outside the closet with her ontop as she kissed him during the time that she heard the banging on the door. She was entangled in his arms and quite frankly not presentable. Her hair was a mess, her dress and corset were halfways on her body with loose ties. There were clothes on the floor around them that she had remembered pulling down when she first was wrestling with Ajax. Now after serious play time with the man she found herself and Ajax in shambles as they fondled eachother.

Daxin gasped and jumped up like a cat once she heard the banging on the door. The woman Sprang to her feet and kicked Ajax in the side for him to get up before she dashed towards the closet in shame. She had to get ready or look less a mess if someone came in. When the door opend Daxin was not in the closet. She was an inch away holding onto the door about to pull herself in until she heard a womans voice again.

"My Lord....who is this? you know I...don't ask questions much and keep your...secrets, but you have never had another female in the room with out one of your maids here with you."

Daxin bit her lower lip as they were caught. When the woman spoke Daxin felt like hiding behind Ajax who was already standing and smoothing out his atire. INstead she just stood there smiling occwardly and running a hand through her now tangled hair. This was very unsettling as her face was a bright red. Her eyes moved to Ajax as he spoke.

"Well Ire, this is Daxin, my long time friend from....my home...the young girl i told you about"

Daxin waved at the woman then looked down feeling out of place. What had he told her? What did this woman know about Dax? When the woman blushed and apologised Daxin felt relieved and stood up straight with poise then she heard about a mystical love. Daxin's eyes turned to jax and she blushed even more. Why was this a secret only to her?

"O you noticed the my lord, yes as usual you are late to your own party. Though i prefer you being late over these circumstances, then not wanting to go since you don't want to interact with your own guests. Now shoo shoo go," Daxins eyes turned to Ajax while the woman talked in wonder for a moment then she hastly started to fix her own dress while the woman helped him. Daxin snapped her fingers and her dress was smoothed out and tied. She then moved t oher hair and by that time the maid had moved on to help her. Daxin felt very odd being helped but she was in no position to complain. She had to be ready.

"Now you two love birds get out of here. "and i or Lord Ajax will answer your questions later Mistress Daxin," The woma spoke before she decided to leave the room. Daxin quickly reached out her hand for Ajax as she took a deep breath. This was going to be very much a disaster if she did not keep herself together.

As they entered the main room Daxin had her hand tucked into Ajax's arm as she matched his pace. Her chin was up and her eyes were focsed on what was ahead of them. She did not know any of these people and by the looks of things they were in shock by her too. Daxin noticed a few females glaring and pouting over her presence which made her smile faintly. What? Did they expect for him to be alone so they could flock to him like sheep? Not while Daxin was around. She would have none of it.

Ajax moved across the floor like a ghost, Daxin attached to his arm. She seemed to be happy so he was content. As he passed people he "knew" he would bow and talk for a few, introduce Daxin and then move on to the next couple. He had to at least make his rounds before he sat down in his chair.

After what seemed like forever he moved to his Stone chair ad sat down, pulling Daxin onto his lap since his house maids forgot her chair and he saw the other women coming towards him. Get for some unknown reason they seemed to look scared when they looked at Daxin and turned a heel walking off. The band wasn't really playing anything to his liking so he would simply chill. Let the humans do as they liked while they where in his house. His maids scurried about getting drinks and the food, cleaning the plates, washing the glasses.

Ajax sat there with his hand around Daxins waist, not restraining her but not letting her go either, if she wanted to leave she could. He drank his special reserve that only he was allowed to drink. A few females came up every now and then and seemed to whimper out a greeting to Ajax and he would nod, most of them seemed to try and make it obvious that they where not married by making there hand noticibally have no ring. Getting a little annoyed about it he cleared his throat and the music stopped. Everyone went quite, Ajax hardly spoke aloud and most of the time when he did everyone wanted to listen.

"So thank you all for......gracing me with your company. This is the biggest party of there year after all right?" a few cheers and whistles where heard from the some hundred or more people there now, " but tonight is also cause for another reason," he said standing up holding Daxins hand in his own he smirked. He was about to freak her out, and he loved to make her blush. Now what was she going to say?

Daxin smiled and stood by Ajax's side as he moved about greeting his guests and introducing her. She liked that he introduced her. It made her feel glad knowing that she was not just another face that stood next to him. ONce they got to his chair she glanced arond noticing that there was not a place for her to sit.
she yelped almost when Ajax pulled her down on his lap. She smiled occwardly noticing the eyes that settled on them. This was very much scandelous for them to see. A propper lady of her class was expected to not show affection in public. She could feel her cheeks turning a light pink but she still stayed in place.
When people moved about to the music Daxin was reminded about all the old parties she had been to. Ajax always danced when he finally got out of hidding. It was very nice and grand being able to twirl around a room with family and friends. This party was not like home. It was foriegn and very much dull. She watched as young ladies passed by them and sulked a bit.
Others tried to flirt with Ajax at times which she found funny. When Ajax cleared his throut Daxin noticed how the room went silent. She took a deep breath trying not to notice the eyes on them. Her eyes avered to the floor while her mind racked around for something to think about other then the eyes. She stood up with him.

"So thank you all for......gracing me with your company. This is the biggest party of there year after all right?"

Daxin smiled as others cheered and whistled but then Ajax spoke again.

, " but tonight is also cause for another reason," he said standing up holding Daxins hand in his own he smirked. Her eyes opend a bit more and she turned to him curiously. What was this man going to do now? If he did anything that would embarass her she would have to simply excuse herself. She stayed quiet and waited for him to finish.

Ajax sighed heavily and hoped that Daxin would not get to embarrassed, though he loved it when she blushed. The moments following his next words could go wrong, and fast, he simply hoped for the best. That was life right? hoping for the best even in a situation that was the worst? Steeling himself he closed his eyes, this was no big deal, He had faced monsters, hordes of enemies, even lived through getting skewered half a dozen times. This should be easy, yet as he opened his eyes the world seemed to come down on his shoulders. Every breath seemed harder to take, his legs felt weak, his heart started to race faster then a bullet exiting the barrel of a rifle.

"D...D....Daxin Sinclair, would you grant me the honor of being my partner...." he stopped and looked at her, seeing that she might blush he quickly spoke. "Business partner" he quickly added. though he really didn't want this he decided to add it in to try and make it less embarrassing for her.

"D...D....Daxin Sinclair, would you grant me the honor of being my partner...." THose words made Daxin blush brightly. She felt her lips pull ino a bright smile that was soft and she wanted to lean up and kiss him. "Business partner".....WHAT???
THe urge to kiss him vanished in a blink of an eye. What was he saying? That he wanted to build ships with her? To Open a shop down town? Had this man gone mad? She had thought he wanted to cour her not make money with her. Daxin felt a bit confused as her eyes probed his face for answers.
She heard the crowd of people whisper from al around them snd she began to feel a bit hurt. Daxin took a deep breath in order to calm herself down. Now Daxin, he had confessed his love only a few hours ago so there had to be a reason wh he would say such things. Was he worried about something?
Surely his pride was not on the table right now..but hers was. Daxin forced a smile on her face and nodded to his request. "I would love to my dearest friend," she let go of his hand and curtsied grabbing her skirt as she did so that she would not let it drag on the floor.
Daxin arose and took a deep breath as she looked up at him. He had to explain what on Earth he ha meant by this later. FOr his own good this man had better have a good reason for making her seem like a simple friend that he was amusing during the party.
The nerve of him saying such things made Daxin a bit angered but she would not dare show it. How could she? This woman was far above all manner of showing her unhappiness infront of onlookers. Ajax was going to get an earful if he did not give her the explanation she wanted.

After the party ended Daxin grabbed hold of Ajax's arm and pulled for him to follow her. She had no intentions of letting what he said earlier slide. He was going to give her the truth. Daxin found a hallway that was empty and let go of his wrist before she entered. She turned to him and looked him straight in the face as her arm crossed under her chest. "What on earth was that rubish about?" she growled.

Ajax saw the hate in her eyes the moment he tried to "fix" it, to make her unembarrassed only blew up in his face. As she accepted he could hear the poison dripping from her voice. The rest of the night went on as a blur until he felt her touch again, he did not know where or what he had done since she poisoned his ears with her words. But he knew now that she was leading him to talk about it.

"What on earth was that rubbish about?" she growled.

He simply slid down the wall hiding his face in his arms after wrapping them around his knees, "I tried to make it less embarrassing for you, I want you to be my...my partner. But when I saw you blush i thought you where going to run away leaving me there by myself again." he said.

A tear fell from his cheek and hit the ground, he screwed up again. as always he screwed up. He couldn't just leave things as they where, he couldn't just say what he wanted. No he always had to change what he was saying. As another tear hit the round the air around him grew tense, the ground started to shake. Standing up Ajax seemed to have changed in that moment, the soft caring emotional brute was gone. No now the emotionless warrior stood before her.

"Forgive me My Lady Daxin," he said kneel before her, "your guardian was out of line and it will never happen again" he said standing up and turning on toe walking out of the mansion and into his forest. The trees moved and tightened so no one could follow.

Ire came around the corner to see her master walking out of the house and the trees moving to block anyone that would think to follow, "What did you do now Daxin? or rather what did he do now? the only time i have seen him shake the earth was when he killed Aries ten years ago" she said turning to her.

Daxin could see the fear in his eyes and when he slid to the floor she was in shock. Why was this happening? Why couldnt he just simply state the obvious and get on with it?

"I tried to make it less embarrassing for you, I want you to be my mistress...my partner. But when I saw you blush i thought you where going to run away leaving me there by myself again." Those words made Daxin feel misunderstood. "I was happy at first," she breathed.

"Forgive me My Lady Daxin," he said kneel before her, "your guardian was out of line and it will never happen again" Daxin lifted a brow as he turned cold once more. She was about to reach out and grab him but he was to fast as he stomped out of the house. Why was this man so easily changed? His mood switched on and off so quickly. Daxin grumbled in the hallway until the maid showed up and spoke.

"What did you do now Daxin? or rather what did he do now? the only time i have seen him shake the earth was when he killed Aries ten years ago"

Daxin looked up at the woman and shook her head. "Did you hear what he said earlier at the party? How he switched from saying one thing and turned it into a business deal," Daxin kept her arms crossed as she slowly made her ay out of the hallway.

The woman noded quietly at Daxins question. She had heard. The master's words mus have hurt the poor girl. She had seen it in her eyes as she lit up like a christmas tree but when he ended his question it was a disaster. This was not right but there was nothing really to say besides. "Go after him miss," the maid spoke.

Daxin's eyes moved to the woman as she unraveled her arms. "I will fix this," Daxin breathed then rushed out of the house. Whe she got to the wall of trees she glanced about for him. How was she to find him with this mess?
"Ajax you numbskul of a man," she breathed/ "I was blushing out of happiness...but then you turned it around and I felt cheep like those girls that flocked to you," she grumbled.

As ajax submerged into the water the trees's opened up, letting people enter now. He sat down at the bottom of the spring just out of reach of the entrance to the underground caverns. Closing his eyes he closed off his senses to everything, well as much as one could while still watching for ones life.

Why did he leave why couldnt he just stay? live with shit...no that wasn't him he just didn't like to feel.

When the trees opened Daxin moved about in search of her moody forest man. Once she spotted a dark figure in the water she kicked off her heels and lifted her dress with both hands. When she took the first step Daxin squeeled because the water was fresh. She decided to keep going and climbed into the water and made her way to the figure. It had to be him. When she got closer Daxin reached her hand into the water and felt around for him.
The edges of her dress were soaked but she still took no note as she felt around the water for Ajax. He had to be here somewhere. "Ajax you grump," she grumbled until her hand found flesh in the water. She smiled with glee before letting the rest of her dress go and using both hands to take hold of what she had found. "have you now," she smiled and pulled.
