Got a problem with me? (CAM)

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled as Ravenna came up to him. He kissed her briefly before glancing down at him arm, seeing that he hadn't even noticed it in the first place. He shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing I can't handle." Then he leant down into her ear and whispered lowly, "Now, let's just keep the dirty talk for later when we're alone okay?" He pulled back and grinned before stepping away from Ravenna and looking back at the group.

He took in all their faces and knew the ones that we're dropping back down and the ones that were staying. He walked up to each of them individually and told them to either stand on his left side or his right side. They all looked confused, but after the session they'd had they did as they were told. For once, Noah thought exasperatedly. He turned to the kids on his left. There weren't that many of them, five to be precise, and among them was the idiot. The odd thing was though that his sidekick was standing with the other group. He couldn't care less though, the two of them would be better separated. "You five failed. Next training session you will attend your former group. It is expected that some of you will be going back so there is no need to inform them, as this year all trainers have done these spot tests at the same time. I just hope, for your sake, you learn something this time." With that he dismissed four of them, but held the idiot back. After all he was helping clear up.

He turned to the group that had been on his right and showed them a very rare smile. He was glad the girl got to stay and he would congratulate them. "Congratulations. You all passed. As of now these training sessions will get harder and I will do spot assessments every now and again. But as for tomorrows training session you may all have the day off. You've worked hard and should be proud." They all nodded eagerly and were dismissed. He called the idiots sidekick back and looked at him sternly. "I expect better this time."

With that all that were left was himself, Ravenna and the idiot.

[Cham]

Ravenna grinned at Noah as he took charge, not even really giving the failures the time of day. She had noted that they really were not up to the challenge. And only one looked really devastated. The idiot clearly looked like he was expecting it. Ven rolled her eyes when he sent a wink her way. But luckily Noah didnt see, knew knew he would go bat shit crazy if he hadve seen that. But he was too busy congratulation and instructing the passing students.

The rest of the students left, and the three remaining were Noah, Ven, and the idiot. Ven walked over to where her second knife remained sticking out of the ground. But a smack on her ass made her stand up straight, not really knowing who it had been, and most definitely not expecting it. When she saw the idiot snickering behind her, she lashed out immediately.

Not giving a thought to the fact that he had a full on sword in his hand, and all she had was her ankle dagger. Whipping out the one she had hidden under her shirt that was several inches longer, she now fought double time as the boy realized how deep of shit he was in. With ever lash of her weapon clashing against his, she seethed out words "Noah. Cant. Kill. You. But I. CAN!" Screaming by the time her sentence was out. His face turned to a snarl, but one mistake and his hand was bleeding. Like the idiot he was, he dropped his sword and came throat to point with her dagger. A glance out of the corner of her eye saw Noah standing there stunned. Stony faced, she sheathed her weapons and marched straight up to him, her face in his "Let me make this abundantly clear." Her voice was a soft, but lethal whisper "Fucking touch me again, and you'll lose them" He looked confused, but it didnt take him long to understand when he knee connected with his testicles for the second time.

[Lotus]

Okay, so Noah knew he hated that idiot with a vengeance and he knew he was more than likely to get pissed off with him at any second but what he did not expect was for Ravenna to completely lose it and go after him. He didn't really understand it at first but when she said about touching his anger boiled. Yes it was hot that she was mad and fighting, but he couldn't concentrate on that as the words swum around his head.

He marched up to the two of them and just as Ravenna was stepping away he grabbed hold of the idiots shirt and brought his face into his. He didn't yell though and that was worse. When Noah kept his voice calm it just showed how pissed and lethal he was. "What did you do?" He growled out lowly and fear actually shot through the kids eyes. Good, he thought, it was about time he feared him and what he could do. "Tell me!" his voice rose a little but not much and his fists clenched tighter around the kids shirt.

He felt a hand on the small of his back and he relaxed a little. He turned to look at Ravenna but he couldn't work out the look on her face. "What did he do to you?" As soon as the words left her mouth one fist unclenched from his shirt, only to re-clench as he sent it soaring into the idiots cheek. He went backwards and fell down in the sand, looking up at him with a glare rather than the fear from before. "Get lost before I really lose it."

As the idiot scampered away Noah turned around and buried his face in the crook of her neck. He couldn't form coherent words with the anger coursing through him so he just breathed in and out deeply.

[Cham]

Ravenna was shocked, not knowing if Noah realized he had just shoved her to the side. But when she saw he had gripped the boys shirt, and literally was lifting him off the ground, fear ran through her that she may have just lied. Noah clearly just might actually kill this boy. She had to step in. Knowing her touch influenced him, she tenderly let her fingers run down the small of his back. With her other hand grip his bulging bicep. Her face was stony and angry, but her eyes were almost smiling at him. Trying to show that she loved him and that this was not the way to take care of the situation even though she had just done the same...

"Noah..." She whispered, his fury seemed to pause, as she whispered "Slapped my ass" All at once he seemed to explode. The world moving in slow motion when the reclenched fist landed in the boys jaw. She heard a crack, and her hands flew to her mouth, shocked, scared, and stunned. But when Noah turned back to her, she let him in with open arms, knowing that she probably wouldve lost it had some woman done the same to him.

His breath was hot and quick on her neck. He smelled bad, but she assumed she probably did too. Her fingers running through his hair, nails scratching his neck gently "Babe..." She whispered. He only grunted after a moment "Babe... You need to calm down. Let it out..." she added with a smile "You never have to deal with him again... Think about that..." She felt some of the tension leaving his body and grinned. "Take me home Noah... Take me home and i have an idea. I think i know what i can do to get you to calm down..."

[Lotus]

Noah didn't really hate a lot about himself, just the things he did and this was one of those moments. He'd lost his cool and if Ravenna hadn't been there the kid would be in worse shape than he was now. The thing was though that that was an 'if'. Nothing too bad happened and that's what he had to think about. Besides, Ravenna pointing out the fact that he didn't have to deal with him again lightened his mood, even if it was just a little bit.

He kissed her neck softly and pulled back, looking down at her. He still hadn't said a word but he shook his head in answer to her. He took a step away and forced a sad smile to his lips. "I can't take out my frustrations on you sexually. I can't hurt you." He whispered the last part and his head dropped down. He was tired and he knew she was too.

He reached for her hand and entwined their fingers. "You don't hate me do you?" He checked around the beach to see everything pretty much packed up. He started walking back up the beach; he needed a shower.

[Cham]

Ravenna chuckled softly "You are one sex crazed male baby. I didnt mean sex." Smiling, she took his hand and leaned up to kiss him "No i dont hate you. In fact, i happen to love you." Squeezing his hand softly. He seemed to be in a bit of a better mood.

Taking his arm like she had only hours before, but this time to depart, she murmured to him "So how does a nice long bath sound? Warm water, soap, and me..." a gentle smile on her lips, trying to cheer him up "And we can just relax tonight. Ill make some dinner, and we can just unwind. Plus we have tomorrow as well." A thought came to her "Was this mini vacation for them... Or for us?"

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head, feeling a little embarrassed that he'd been thinking wrongly about it all. "I love you too." He whispered back before kissing the top of her head as they walked.

He grinned down at her then, his bad mood somewhat disappearing. "That sounds wonderful baby. We can just be us for once and not worry about anything." He chuckled at her next statement and shook his head. "It was for them 'cause they put up a good fight today. But I guess it benefits us too." He grinned cheekily down at her and stopped her in the middle of the path to kiss her gently on the lips. "Now lets get going."

By the time they got into the house, Noah was tired. All he wanted to do was pretty much do nothing. Storm ran into the house from his side and went straight to his bowl as Noah hung up his collar and lead. He wrapped his arms around Ravenna's waist from behind and kissed her neck. "We smell. Shall we go freshen up?"

[Cham]

Ven relished the blush on Noah's cheeks. It made her smile for some odd reason. But she couldnt help but full on grinning when he so tenderly took her into his arms and kissed her. It amazed her how small the world seemed when she was with him. It was just them. Nothing else. How was it possible to feel so alone with him in a public place?

She would have to think on that more later as it didnt take long for them to arrive at the house. She went in, and immediately pulled off the over shirt she had been wearing. Once the front door was locked, her knives came off as well whilist Noah cared for Storm.

Noah took her a little by surprise though when his arms wrapped around her, and his kiss on her neck immediately heated her blood. How did he do that with such a small gesture... Her hands fell softly on his, and she grinned "We should definitely... Uhm... Definitely do that..." she mumbled, her neck to the side to let his lips caress her neck once again.

[Lotus]

He chuckled softly and entwined their fingers together on one hand. "C'mon then." He led her upstairs and into the bathroom where he put the plug in the bath and turned the taps on full. He added as much soap as possible before stripping off his shirt. He flung it in the wash basket as he turned to Ravenna. He grinned innocently and walked up to her before kissing her softly.

He slipped his knives from his ankles and chucked them on the dresser. He leant down and whispered in her ear. "Wear something pretty after this bath. I'm taking you out for dinner." He pulled back and kissed her forehead before stripping off his shorts and boxers and slipping into the running bath. God it felt good.

[Cham]

Ravenna followed Noah up the steps and into their bathroom. Watching naievely as he filled it, not noticing that her teeth had clenched onto her lower lip, chewing at it, not nervously, but eagerly. He seemed to be in a much better mood, and was trying to seduce her. Especially when the close came off. His gently kiss masked none of his intentions. If anything confirmed them, and she merely smiled at him as he stripped.

She knew his eyes would be glued to her once she began undressing, so she took her time, making sure to throw some shapes as she stripped out of her tanktop and jeans, leaning down to kiss him before slipping out of her bra and panties. Messily dropping them to the floor instead of cleaning them up like he had.

Finally she slipped into the tub. His chest on her back, she lay parallel on his body, her head resting back on his shoulder. A relaxed sigh as she let herself mold to him. "Mhmmmmm..." She whispered "Thats some good stuff there"

[Lotus]

Noah couldn't keep his eyes off of her as she slowly stripped herself of her clothes. She was sensual in every way and had the body of someone carved from the heavens. The best thing was though that that was all his. She was all his. He smiled lovingly up at her when she pecked him on the lips before she stripped herself of her underwear before lowering herself into the water in front of him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her bare shoulder before tilting his head to kiss her cheek. "You didn't mind spending the day training with me did you?" He whispered softly. He knew he could talk normally to her but it just seemed that speaking aloud would ruin the somewhat romantic mood of this moment.

[Cham]

Ravenna let her hands run down Noah's arms before interlocking with his fingers on her stomach. His lips were soft and sweet on her bare skin, and she loved the little tingles that shot through her body. Turning her head to look at him, she let her lips brush against him before murmuring "I loved it darling. Spending time with you, plus helping train kids, knowing that what i taught them today just might save their lives? All in all, pretty kick ass day"

Giggling softly, she settled into them, adoring the feeling of his skin on hers. And the soothing, trusting water. It was warm, and lulled her into a half sleep. Exhaustion from the day leeched out of her body and into that healing water. "Noah?" She whispered, not bothering to open her eyes. "Do you know that i love you? Because i do... So much darling..."

[Lotus]

Noah nodded his head as a smile spread across his lips. "It was great to spend the whole day with you doing something we can both do well. It was also fun to scare the living daylights out of the little buggers. Not that that's the reason I do it of course." He chuckled softly in the mood of things and kissed the top of her head. "I love being able to spend time with a girl and the love of my life and she can actually understand what the hell I'm doing. Heck, I love that fact that that girl just so happens to love the fight too." He kissed her cheek this time before trailing kisses down her shoulder and tightening his arms around her stomach.

Noah nodded his head even though she couldn't see, but she could probably feel the movement. "I do baby. And I hope you realise just how much I love you too. Always have and always will." He noticed how sleepy she was getting and chuckled softly. "Let's get you to bed shall we. You can have a nap before I wait you up to go out for dinner. Sound good?"

[Cham]

Ravenna mumbled incoherently at first, her body sinking into that first stage of sleep. "Stay with me though..." She articulated whilist keeping her eyes shut. Feeling the water disturbed as Noah began to sit up. Her body moving with him into the chillier air compared to the warmth of the water.

She didnt even have to adjust as he scooped her up, standing her up outside of the tub. Ven hadnt been expecting that, and stumbled a little, grabbing for the wall before realizing already that he had wrapped a towel around her soaked body, and scooped her up again. Only moments later she was in their bed, sound asleep before her head was laid up to rest on the pillow.

[Lotus]

Noah had a soft smile on his face all the way to their room as he laid her down on the bed. Ravenna wasn't used to days like he had. Sure she had her own job when she fished, but she could keep to herself. She didn't have to deal with idiots all day long; it tired him both mentally and physically sometimes. He just hoped she'd get used to it one day because he sure liked having her around. There was just one thing they hadn't managed to try so far today and that was sparring against each other. That would be interesting!

After tucking her up in bed, he wrote a short note after slipping on jeans and a shirt just in case Ravenna woke up. If they were going out to dinner tonight he wanted her to feel fabulous just like she did on their first date. But the difference this time would be that it would be her own dress and she could wear it whenever she wanted to feel truly gorgeous. He chuckled to himself as he thought of the fact that it didn't really matter what she wore.

He slipped out of the house, leaving Storm on guard as he made his way into town to the best dress shop her knew. He spoke to the lady, bought the perfect dress and headed back home. Just as he was closing the front door he head her soft voice calling him. "It's me! Now close your eyes!"

[Cham]

Ravenna slept soundly for what felt like hours, but woke feeling refreshed. Stretching and yawning, she turned, the covers falling from her as she sat up, rubbing at her eyes. Her body felt limber and loose. Looking around, she noted that Noah had indeed left her. But at least he had been thoughtful enough to leave her with a note. It was short, and sweet, but definitely to the point. It sounded so much like him. She wrapped the towel around her shoulders, letting it envelope her. It was damp, but warm from her body heat and the bath water.

Fist thing first, she moved into the closet, slipping into some sexy undies. She wanted Noah to know that although she was tough and calloused, she could also be soft and sophisticated. And as always, she wanted him to think she was attractive.

But at that point, she heard the front door opening. The only thing that calmed her was the sound of Storm playfully chirping away at the intruder. It had to be Noah. She moved to the steps, and saw him looking up at her, a dress bag behind his back. Grinning down at him, her soft, curly hair falling over her shoulders. "Babe you didnt need to..." But his eyes responded back of their own accord, and she moved back into their bedroom, her back to the door as she listened to him rustling about.

[Lotus]

Noah calmed Storm down enough so he could just walk up the stairs. He ruffled the silly dog behind the ears and told him to follow, which surprisingly he did without a problem this time. He walked into their room and noticed that Ravenna had her back to him so he tried to carefully unzip the bag before walking around her till he was in front of her. He kissed her on the nose and smiled softly and the beauty of her.

"I didn't feel the need to. I wanted to. I just hope you like it." He placed the garment in her now outstretched hands and took a step back. "Now open." He stood there a little awkwardly while the room was silent. He was in fact a little worried to look up at her in case she hated the dress, but he did so anyway. She was just staring at him and he flickered his gaze away before looking back at her. He scratched the back of his neck and chuckled uncomfortably, "If you don't like it I can go change it quick or I can just leave you to shop next time..."

[Cham]

Ravenna's jaw dropped, and her eyebrows raised at the sight of the dress in her hands. The material was silk. She had never seen so much silk in one place before. The black dress was cut floor length, and simply gorgeous. Adorned with little gems that make it sparkle as though looking at the night sky. "Oh... Oh Noah..." She whispered after several minutes of silence. Her fingers relishing the feel of such soft material.

When she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with tears. No one had ever spent any money on her, let alone bought her something so extravangant. She slipped it over her head, and turned, holding up the top to fit her, and whispering "Will you zip me in?" His fingers almost seemed to shake agaisnt her skin, and she moved infront of the mirror, seeing herself looking so elegant.

Her emotional dam burst, and she flung herself into his arms, burying her head in his shoulder and sobbing softly, whispering over and over "Thank you"

[Lotus]

Noah smiled softly after he realised she did actually like it. The difference was though, and he knew this from countless times of Moni talking about pointless fashion tips with him, that it didn't matter if you liked the look of it, it had to fit right. His fingers really did shake as he zipped her up and as she ran to the mirror his eyes welled up with pride. That was his girl and she looked simply breathtaking.

He hadn't been expecting her to fling herself into his arms but he caught her with no trouble. He kissed the top of her head and rubbed his hand up and down her back. He didn't truly understand why she was crying and it worried him. He pulled her head gently away from his shoulder and titled her chin up, before kissing her softly and tenderly. "I'm more than happy to have bought you something. I'd never thought that one simple dress could make you look more gorgeous and beautiful than you already were. I guess Mister Culver was proven wrong." He kissed her again and wiped away her tears. "But, why are you crying? You're scaring me..."

[Cham]

Ven felt Noah tipping her head up, and she was sure she looked a complete mess now. But despite that, he kissed her so gently. She tried to maintain that, whilist pouring her thanks into it. The tears were still leaking out of her now red eyes when he spoke again. She snuffled a little, and rubbed at her eyes, wiping her nose with the back of her hand haphazardly.

"No- one has ev-ver given me anything... Ever. And its s-s-so beautiful... I feel beau-tifu-l in it" She murmured, rolling her eyes at herself, and pulling away from his embrase "Im sor-ry. I didnt mean to melt down" Smiling softly, and moving slowly towards the bathroom where she cleaned herself up in a moments time, and grabbed a few hair grips, throwing her curls up into a messy, yet somehow elegant looking bun.

She came out, composed this time, and gently sat on the bed next to him, taking his hand "Thank you Noah" She whispered softly, smiling tenderly and leaning up to kiss him.

[Lotus]

Noah smiled sadly at her and when she went into the bathroom he took a seat on the bed. When she came out his jaw fell a little slack. When she took hold of his hand and kissed him he kissed her back eagerly, placing his free hand on the side of her neck. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. "You're beautiful with or without the dress." He kissed her lips softly again before pulling back.

He stood up from the bed and walked to the closet, grabbing out a pair of black dress pants, white shirt and a black tie. "Will this do to accompany my fair lady for out dinner tonight? I mean, even tonight my good looks will not go noticed when in the same room as your beauty." He chuckled and shook his head. "Look what your doing to me woman. You're making me mushy and cheesy!" He grinned and quickly made his way over to her before kissing her passionately.

[Cham]

Ven shickered softly, shaking her head gently when he commented on her supposed 'beauty' knowing that she was nothing to gawk at, that it was all the dress. But that was clearly a mistake when he burst out into Shakespeare.

She too burst out, but in laughter. Nodding and attempting to stifle her giggles. However he did the trick with his hot kiss, once the smile was off her face, and she could really kiss him back, she did. Pulling him by the tie forward as she leaned backwards. "Well i can think of something that doesnt require any clothes at all..." She whispered, for the first time not feeling ashamed of herself for saying something like that. "And no cheese either" giggling once again, but softly.

[Lotus]

Noah chuckled at her words and shook his head. "I see you can't get enough of me." He smirked and kissed her lips again softly. "How about we leave that to finish the night off? We can have dinner, do something spontaneous and we'll finish the night off with whatever you choose; whether we arrive back home or not." He grinned and chuckled at her expression. "What I'm a daring kind-a guy."

He stood up straight and reached out his hands for her to take. They soon exited their room and walked downstairs where Noah fed Storm before they could leave in peace. As soon as they stepped outside the were met with the warm humid air that was so common for District 4; the two of them loving the feeling of the dark night and the warm weather against their skin. They made their way in to town and Noah unconsciously glared at anyone that even began to look like they would make a move on Ravenna. She was his and he was stating that claim.

[Lotus]

As they neared the restaurant Noah chuckled at Ravenna's words. He looked down to her and whispered, "Never wear a mask, 'cause I want the whole world to know who you are and how proud I am to call you my own." He leant down and pressed his lips to hers in a quick, yet passionate kiss. He pulled away though when he heard cooing coming from behind then and he rolled his eyes at the idiot that decided to ruin the moment. "Let's go in."

He gave the waiter his name and they were directed to their table which was luckily at the back of the restaurant in a more romantic area. Noah was grateful for that because it meant there was less chance of the girls from his messed up past coming to ruin their evening and less men staring at Ravenna lustfully. All Noah had to do was contend with the waiters. Once their orders were place and the waiter went off to fetch their drinks Noah turned to face Ravenna as he growled out, "If that waiter keep looking at you in that way I will shove his pen where the sun don't shine."

[Cham]

Ravenna nearly burst out laughing right then and there when Noah made his angered comment. She pulled on his sleeve a little, gesturing for him to come closer. She whispered into his ear "My love, it was not ME who he was looking at..." Noah looking positively confused for a few moments, and Ven waited patiently for it to dawn on him that the waiter was one who's sexuality was not that of the generally assumed. This was of course after Noah looked around, probably wondering who the hell she could have been talking about, and seeing that there was really no one else around.

Noah seemed to flush with embarrassment, and she watched him intently as the waiter returned, casting a wanting gaze Noah's way. Ven nearly combusted into a fit of giggles, but took a sip of her drink to try and suppress them.
