Ethan saw the utter hope in her eyes, and his heart shined. He kept up the smile. "Fear not, Samantha. You really are in my arms, and I really do love you. Did you forget I could read your mind?" He said the last thing in a jest. He had known how desperately she wanted all this to be true. He was happy that it was reality as well. He looked up and spotted an older man dancing with his wife. The man gave him a nod and a smile. He probably saw a little of himself and his wife in the young couple, like looking through a scrapbook. He saw another man glaring at him. The man was dancing with a woman, so it wasn't jealousy. Most likely, he believed Ethan a player, and thought he was just using these girls to show off. Obviously, that was not Ethan's style. He looked into Samantha's eyes,leaned down, and gave her a short kiss on the lips. "That real enough for you?" He asked with his most charming smile. The armor was starting to make him sweat, and he couldn't wait to get home and change out of it, after a satisfying dance.

Samantha gave Ethan a startled look. Of all the time she had spent with him, how had she not figured that Ethan was a mind-reader? Oh gosh, he must've accessed all private thoughts as well... "Um, you never told me you could read minds...", she said, smiling a bit nervously at the newsflash. She turned her head to her right and looked around as she danced. She wanted to think more about this. Maybe she shouldn't be that surprised, well it wasn't like she was doing it purposely. She turned her head to his direction, just in time to catch a kiss to her lips. Samantha smiled. "That real enough for you?", Ethan asked. Samantha laughed softly, and said, "Yes it is."

"I'm pretty sure I told you before. It's a side-effect of being splattered in the face with demon blood. It's limited, however. All those private thoughts you tried to suppress, secret. I didn't know for sure if there were any feelings for me in you." He continued to sway. "Are there?"

Letting out some excessive air from her lips, Samantha breathed in relief. She decided to test out the "mind-reading" thing. There's enough in me to make me wish you all for me She smiled as she thought this, and was eager to find out if Ethan had read this thought. Continuing to sway her hips lightly to the music, she placed her hands on Ethan's shoulders.

Ethan heard the thought. He had tried to limit the psychic ability, because when you hear the thoughts of demons, you could go insane. "So you want me all to yourself?" He asked. He had noticed her embarrassment when he told her about his ability to mind read. Of course, that was how he had found out about the Queen of the Vampires. He guessed she hadn't made that connection yet. Maybe it was better if he would've kept that ability a secret.

Samantha blushed a bit, even though it was true. But it sounded so personal when it was said out loud. She smiled at him and nodded. "Will you let me?, she said. She stretched her neck, and reached Ethan's face. She looked at his lips temptively, but waited for Ethan to make a move.

Ethan gave her the best smile he could muster. He reached and dipped her low like they did in ball room dancing. "Of course I will." He bent down and gave her a real kiss. He felt his muscles relax and his heart was pounding at a rate even higher than when he was in battle. It made his breath short, but did not effect the kiss. When he drew his lips away, he returned her to a standing position and the song ended. He let go of her hips and took her hands in his. For the first time in a long time, he had no thoughts. What was there to think about? The impending battle, his bloodline requirements, the horrors of his past all seemed to have been tossed into the distance. All that was on his mind was the beautiful relationship he had started with Samantha. He let go of her hands. "What say we go home? It feels like a sauna in this armor." He took her arm and walked out the door.

Samnatha had felt so happy and calm for the first time in years. Last time she remembered feeling like this, was when she lived with her parents. Only this time, she felt like she was actually flying in the clouds. When she was straightened to her feet again, she stumbling over them. Her balance was off a bit, as if the kiss had vacummed (<---spelling?) all of it. She gripped her hand on Ethan shoulder gently, showing off a big grin. "What say we go home? It feels like a sauna in this armor.", Ethan asked. She nodded and jokingly said, "Yeah, I have to lie down."

They entered his house and Ethan went to his bedroom immediately. He peeled off his armor and placed it on the floor before putting on his regular clothing. He saw that the sweat had filled his boots to the brim, so he poured it in the bathroom sink connected to his bedroom. He placed the armor on a stand in his closet. He took off the band, wrung it out in the sink, and placed it on the bed. He would put it somewhere else later. He returned to the living room and layed on the couch. His thoughts were starting to return, but he blocked them out for now. He wondered about his father, though. Had his father met his mother in the old, save-the-damsel-in-distress way, or had he done it the regular way. He would have to remember to ask his father that question when he died. His eyes went red for a split second. This war would not claim him. He would die of old age in a better world.

Samantha walked over to his couch and sat down. She smiled, and said, "Pensitive, are you?" (A bit of writer's block... *smacks forehead a few times*)

OOC: Don't worry about it.
He turned to her. "I guess so. I'm just a little nervous about marching in two days. Tomorrow, I'm going to introduce you as an official Trainer."

Smiling, Samantha said, "I'm not sure... I've never really trained before." She looked down at her hands, as she thought she was probably soundng silly. Jenny, meanwhile, was in her room, crying her eyes out. Mostly, through all that sobbing, she was trying to figure a way to separate Samantha from Ethan. She wasn't evil or anything, but the idea that popped into her mind was.

"It's not hard. I'll teach you how tomorrow. Above all, you have to push yourself as hard as you push them, or they won't respect you. Rank means nothing if you can't have an attitude sufficient to that rank." He stood up and took her head in his hands. He pushed her hair aside so he could see her beautiful face. "But don't worry about that right now. Right now, you don't have to worry about a thing." He let go of her face and headed to his room. He threw his clothes, except for his boxers, on a chair and went to sleep.

Ethan rose with the sun. He put on his clothes and left his room. He heard sobbing and tracked it to Jenny. "Jenny, why are you crying?"

Jenny was sitting in her bed, her legs crossed underneath her. She had woken up, and unfortunately the thoughts of losing Ethan had hunted her mind, and she started to cry again. She looked up once Ethan had opened the door and surprised her. Her cheeks were still wet. She hadn't figured how loud she was sobbing, so she looked at him a bit confused. "Because, I love you, Ethan.", She said softly, and sniffed.

Ethan approached her and crouched down. "Jenny, don't do this to yourself over me. I'm not worth it." He wiped the tears away. "You're very beautiul, and you'll find a man who will make you far happier than I ever could one day. I've got a job I want you to do while I'm gone. I want you to cook for the recruited soldiers that will be coming here after they receive freedom. Can you do that for me?"

His words made Jenny wish him even more, and she sobbed a bit more. As soon as he started lowering his hand, she had grabbed it gently, and caressed it slowly against her cheek. Locking her tear-filled eyes onto his face, and maintained the sadness on her face. "How will I find anyone else? You're my other half, and you are worth it.", she said, as she lowered his hand down onto her right thigh, and looked down at his hand, "I'll make you even happier, trust me. Samantha is a werewolf, and you're a human... you really think it would turn out between the 2 of you?" She looked up at him, smiling weakly with a hint of persuasion.

Ethan's eyes flashed red for a second. "How could you use your friend's species like that? Are you sure you love me that much, that you would sacrifice a great friendship with both of us?" His eyes were normal. Poor Jenny. She was in love. "Isn't there something I could do to make it that the love isn't too strong for you?"

Jenny looked into Ethan's eyes, as she saw them go red for a spit-second. She blinked confusedly, and his eyes were the same color they always were. Jenny decided to shake that away, and focused on her current problem. Ethan likes Samantha, and there doesn't seem to be a way to flirt his love towards her. Jenny couldn't help but take Ethan's defensive words offensively, and said, "No! Don't tell me you think my feelings are just obsession..." She looked at his face carefully.

Ethan smiled gently and took her hand. "You can't help feeling this way. It's natural, and it's a beautiful thing. You'll find someone who can take that love and give it back to you as much as you need." He stood up and found a sleeping Samantha. He gave her a light kiss on the lips and changed into his armor with the red bandana. He put his sword in the scabbard attached. He looked like a real warrior.
