In reply to: Tristan 's message, "Just ask me, cause I know!" on 23:29:19 01/31/02 Thu

It was hard to ignore the sweet smell of the cigarette Tristan was puffing on in the small enclosure. Tia had smoked a few of the things in her day, but never one that gave off such a strange scent. Something told her that it wasn't a normal cigarette, and the feeling deepened when Tristan started acting a lot more relaxed.

The nymph wasn't opposed to drugs since she didn't have any experience with people who overindulged in them. Of course she heard that drugs could become very addicting, and even alter a person's entire personality, yet she had no proof of that. Tia never had the desire to try drugs herself simply because she got high enough off life itself. Mead was her poison of choice when she needed something to really relax her quickly. There was something in mead that her body didn't tolerate very well. One glass of the stuff and she couldn't walk or think straight any more! Actually, any alcohol had the same effect, but only after she consumed a large amount of it.

Her eyes clouded with puzzlement when Tristan said he didn't get to talk to too many people besides Marz. The dragon seemed sociable enough to her so why didn't he have more friends? Maybe he just didn't exert the effort needed to make close friendships. Yet, he's doing fine with me!

She nodded when Tristan confirmed the fact that Marz was once a gang leader. That certainly explained his tough exterior! Most leaders had to display a no-nonsense personality if they wanted to gain respect and admiration from their followers. Almost immediately, she had sensed that there was a gentler side to Marz, but that he didn't like to show that part of himself very often. I bet Tristan has seen it plenty of times though.

"If you go to sleep with someone you don't really love, it's like you're wasting it or whatever."

Tia's eyes widened at the dragon's words. She had never given any thought to saving herself until love finally decided to come along. Hell, she never even thought about sharing her bed with a man until that silly elf entered her life! Rowan made her feel all funny inside. Whenever he looked at her with those gorgeous blue eyes she got the urge to rip off her clothes, jump on top of him, and smother him with kisses. A deep crimson blush crept along Tia's cheeks. Damn that elf to the nine hells for making her feel like a cheap, lust-filled harlot!

She gulped down her anger along with more wine then stared at the dragon. "But how do you know if you're really in love?" she asked. "I mean, what's it supposed to feel like?"

Judging by the look on Tristan's face, he was either very high or doing some deep thinking about how to answer her question.

"I know I feel things around Rowan that I've never felt around other men, but does that mean I love him?" She lowered her gaze to the ground and licked wine off her lips before going on with her normal rush of words. "Knowing that Rowan spent the night with Kazabet and shared some kisses and…….whatever…….with Jeremy bothered me at first. And, do you wanna know why it bothered me, Tristan? Because he wasn't doing any of that stuff with ME, that's why!"

Tia got to her feet and stretched to get rid of some of the tenseness that suddenly gripped her body. "He teases me with a kiss or sweet words once in awhile then takes off with Jeremy, or starts to flirt with Isobel. I really don’t mind that cause I know that's just the way he is, but why am I the one always left feeling deprived?"

Sighing, she sat back down and fluffed up her flyaway hair with her fingers before sipping a little more wine. "We did have a nice little talk by the pond before and he even kissed me again. I hinted that I wouldn't mind doing more than just kissing but who knows if he even heard me. He can be so damn dense at times!"

When she noticed how intently Tristan was staring at her, she blushed again. "I sound like a raving lunatic, don't I?" She glanced down at Marz and smiled. "It must be great to be in a loving relationship. I bet you and Marz know exactly what to expect from one another now that you've been together for a while. Did he drive you crazy at first too, or were things always pretty easy between the two of you right from the start?"
