loopy but awesome :P
Now I'm going to let you decide who this guy is and what he wants. I have a few ideas so I'll put them down here.
1) He's just a servant for the visiting family and was told to fetch the Prince.
2) Cooks servant bringing dinner for the Meister.
3) A thug that had masqueraded as a guest, your choice why he's there (family threatened if he didn't kidnap the prince, pauper that wants revenge etc). There would ideally be two outcomes a) Rei fights him but doesn't take in the environment, while deflecting an attack/blade it would have hit the meister and Alessandro gets in the way. It sets up some nice emotional crap there between npcs and pcs. It won't be bad because ultimately the guy isn't a skilled fighter but it'll be enough to make him need a little opium, maybe causing him to be delirious and follow into your idea. b) Because Alessandro got in front the guy grabs for him and Rei bugs out obviously. While Rei's kicking his arse he fails to see (immediately) this thugs mate who has been silent and still and quiet goes to shoot/stab Rei and Alessandro takes the second guy down receiving a glancing wound giving some nice emotional rp and see above.

Don't have to use those ideas of course in any arrangement just thought it might be nice touch to start working on their relationship.
Alessandro shows Rei he cares more for others than himself (getting hurt for Rei/the Meister) and inadvertently teaching him a bit about love.
Rei gets to see he is not completely unstoppable and starts seeing Alessandro as more of an equal than just his work buddy.
When Alessandro's high on Opium/asleep he could drag Rei into his bed with him and even if nothing much happens aside hugging it'll be the first step towards Rei figuring stuff out especially if he questions Alessandro and brings up love.
Gives Alessandro a bit more dimension for me to play with. XD

I went with him defending Rei, but I left it up to you where the wound is. Rei is a bit numb right now, and confused, since he's still in defense/killing mode. He'll have more to think/say once the men are properly secured and he's alone with Ale. It will be funny to see the cuddling tonight. I can see this talk leading to that other scene idea I came up with in the near future, with all the emotions and questions it will raise. Anyways, hope you like it!

Meister gone got his wizarding on.

Posted and updated the pictures on the Character sheets and put Mellia in. :)

I wish I'd seen this earlier :P I forgot to check. Heading to bed now, but I should be able to get up a reply in about 8 hours. I'm having a lot of fun at this point *Smiles*

Hehe I'm glad, it's about to get super interesting I feel, in one way or another. ;) I'll see you in the morning x

Hope that sounded alright. I was trying to keep him clueless without it sounding like he was pushing Ale away. . . .

It sounded fine, I am so sorry for the shortness, I've had someone watching over my shoulder all night. They're gone now so my posts should be back to normal now.

Do we want the grab and snuggle tonight, or for tonight just have Rei lay down and let things go from there?

I think Rei should get on the bed then Alessandro will wrap around him and just whisper something like 'just lets stay like this a while' then fall asleep.

So so sorry that took so long! Turkey day hit me hard, and my house is still a mess, and, bleh :P

Haha its fine hun x

Rei finished cleaning the wounds. Is there anything you want Rei to do now or should he just wander off? If not my whole post is mostly gonna be filler and wandering about while he waits for Alessandro to feel better. Which I can do, just wondering if you had any ideas in mind.

Ah haha, I wasn't utterly sure about that. Let me add a little ot the post so we can get moving, though I'd like your input and any ideas you have?

I think this would be a cute time to have a little conversation between them about affection and such, since it's at the forefront of Rei's mind at the moment after last night and his words about Peter being like family. Rei is curious, and I think it would be cute to see how Ale handles trying to explain it all. Maybe even be curious himself about Rei's family or home or whatever.

Sounds wonderful, there I've added a question for Alessandro to Rei. ^_^

KISSY FACE! XD

Ah, sorry sorry, I know, I've been away. Got really busy, messed up sleep schedule, and just all the RL interference! Anyways, I'ma try and be a better partner and be more attentive! Also, if this progresses beyond making out, we really should move to PMs for the duration to avoid being dinged by the admins for inappropriate content :P

It's okay hun and I agree haha.

So, how have you've been?
