Fall was coming and soon winter. But for now, the demon enjoyed the cooler days and nights. Which meant he was more prone to be out and about, exploring places that needed to be explored and found. Given his desire to know all things that were around this land that they had began to call home, Zsolt would learn all about it. Which brought him to these springs. Ears twisting as large paws carried him closer to the steaming pools and the gleaming rocks. His body wasn't aching from any fights, he hadn't been in any recently, but the idea of soaking in the pools was to tempting and Zsolt found himself submerging himself in one of the pools.

Spring had come and gone. Even the heat of summer had finally been replaced by cooler days and even more soothing nights. And the Savante would so rarely be anywhere without a shadow following him. His shadow. When he'd found his way to the pools, so had she. So rarely far from him. Slowly emerging from the shadows, she moved past him, ever so graceful, like a floating cloud of living shadow. Though she did pause to nuzzle his head, right between his ears. A low rumble of a purr greeted @Zsolt as she settled on the edge of the pool, slowly dipping a paw into it, just relaxing comfortably.

Of course, Zsolt had been somewhat aware of his shadow's ever loving presence. Ears twisting every now and then but he had found himself content with letting her think he hadn't noticed her up until he began to soak into the hot springs. He wasn't there long when @Syanna arrived and greeted him with her own affectionate way. Not going to join me? He would ask, glancing over at her before deciding to not even wait for an answer and splash her with a giant paw and chuckle at her if he was successful. A small grin forming on his features as he waited for what was about to come.

The splash came just as she'd been about to speak, soaking her silky fur with droplets of moisture glittering in her dark pelt like little specks of stars. A stranger might have taken her haughty look seriously, mistaken in it for a look of disdain. But she knew he'd see it for what it truly was, a playful mask. Though she typically wasn't one to be silly or playful, she did have her moments, yet those were always reserved for when they were alone.

Instead of a reply, she slowly pushed to her paws again, turning away as if she was going to walk off, only to suddenly spin around and flinging herself into the water. Her goal was to land directly on him with a splash, but if that wasn't successful, she'd just crash into the water and splash @Zsolt that way.

He splashed her and in return she came splashing in with the full force of her body. A chuckled gasp hit him as she landed on him and he squirmed beneath her weight but ultimately lounged there with his head above the lapping water. Well, that was a glorious entrance my dear. He would chuckle at her, aiming to move a large paw around her form. Laying it across her back in a lazy manner. A grin plastered on his face as he would gaze up at her before glancing back towards the springs that they lounged in. What brings you up here darling? An eyebrow raised in her direction as he watched her closely.

A growling chuckle slipped past her lips as she allowed herself to rest against him, tail lashing in the water to make small splashes. "Charming as ever, Mo ghràdh," My love she purred in a low tone, raking her tongue from the tip of his nose to his forehead in a, at least for her, surprisingly affectionate and loving manner. But how could she resist him? For no matter how much time passed, his darkness forever called to her in ways she couldn't even begin to describe. Pointed ears twitched ever so slightly, a smile tugging at her lips. "I wonder," Syanna mused with a twinkle in her eyes. "What could bring me to such a place? It couldn't possibly be a handsome man."

Her affections were never ignored. Encouraged even as he returned the gesture and affection back towards, a grin spreading across his features. Always. He would comment. Charming was one of his many traits that he used on a daily basis. Knew that it was what had won over @Syanna - among other things of course - but chose to use it quite often enough, just like he had done today with his boyish smirk plastered on his face. Though he couldn't lie, she was charming in her own way as well. A rumbling purr erupted from his throat and chest as he nuzzled into her neck. He must hold such a special place in your heart for you to follow him here.

How strange it was. A cursed shadow, left in the dark that molded her heart and soul for so long. None to give what anyone should have. A stranger to all manner of feelings beyond hatred and a desire for vengeance. How strange that she would find someone who saw her for who she was and didn't run. Still such a foreign feeling, yet one she held onto.

With a low purr she nuzzled @Zsolt in return, sapphire eyes shimmering ever so slightly, a subtle smile on her lips. He'd used his charm to draw her in, just as she'd used her own. And now, now that smirk always had her heart sing in ways she never thought it could. "Well, he has made himself right at home in my heart. And speaks to my soul like no other," she purred into his ear before nibbling softly on its tip.

Her grinned at her when she nuzzled into him. Her words spurring on more than just a purr as she nibbled on his ear. Very lucky indeed. He would remark at her before nibbling at her cheek. It was remarkable how she had been so quick and how easy it was for her to dig those glorious claws into the stone coldness of his heart. HE had never thought he'd find someone who could handle him - let alone possibly two - but yet, here they were. Cuddling in the pool and enjoying the time they shared together more often than not. Ears twisting, flattening in his mane as he breathed in her intoxicating scent.

No matter how days changed, how much time passed by, this was something that still felt so new. Yet at the same time it felt like it had always been. Like it was truly meant to be. A destiny neither of them could run from. And still, she found it hard to believe at times that anyone could melt the frozen walls around her heart, to burst through it all, to reach into the core of her very existence like he did. And she felt high and drunk on that feeling all the same. That feeling she couldn't describe, but felt so strongly whenever he was near.

Low, soft purrs vibrated through her slender form as she remained in his embrace, her nose tucked against his neck as she softly nibbled through his fur. This....this was it. His scent, the feeling of him so close. This was what she never wanted to give up. What she would fight for. With soft noises of contentment she groomed his neck. "So very lucky."
