Nix' Hotel Room (Open)

Nix stood in the doorway to her hotel room, her arms folded just below her breasts. It was decorated quite nicely, much of the design having royalty accents. The bed frame was large and majestic, most likely composed of polished oak. There were dressers and tables that matched the bed, even a full-length mirror in the bed area. There also seemed to be a sitting area, the couches and reclining chairs covered in dark leather. There was also a large lacrima screen in this area, most likely for watching worlds events and the tournament when it began. There was a series of glass doors with extravagant curtains. Nix turned her scarlet eyes towards the bathroom, where she saw a large ivory claw foot tub. There was also a large sink with a generously sized mirror as well as a shower area nearby. Looking away from the bathroom, she saw that the room also had a kitchen area, complete with a small dining area and combination stove oven. She let out a low, barely audible grunt then stepped into the room. The plush carpeting silenced her footsteps as she made her ways towards the curtains on the far end of the room. She gently pulled aside the curtains, revealing the large balcony and its impressive view of the rest of the city. She grinned slightly then stepped back from the curtains, dropping her hand and letting them fall closed. She reached her hands towards a nearby lacrima orb on the wall and placed her hand on it. Several more orbs along the ceiling and walls sparked to life as they filled the room with soothing light.

"Well, they certainly do live nicely here...though it lacks the charm and luxury of the rooms back at Sabertooth. It will have to do for the time being, I suppose." She spoke quietly as she took off her overcoat and draped it over a nearby chair. She made her way towards the bathroom, preparing for a bath along the way. By the time she got to the bathroom door, she had changed from her clothes into a rather short silken robe. Stepping onto the soft blue-colored tiles, she closed the door behind her. Moments later, the sound of running water in the tub could be heard.

The door opened, and Fa poked his head in, taking a slow look around. "Hey Nix...Nix...You here?" he asked, sweeping the room once more before stepping inside. Well, she hadn't answered him, and his head wasn't frozen in a block of ice, so maybe she hadn't popped in yet. "Her coat's here." he noted, dropping his duffel bag by the door. He looked around yet again, venturing further in, and finally caught the sound of running water. She was taking a bath. "...Yeah. Staying away from that one." he decided. Sure, Nix was easy on the eyes, but she was also a walking tank of frozen death and destruction, and Fa liked not being frozen to death. "Good way to ruin a perfectly good partnership." Fa commented, wandering around his team mates kitchen. "Nice." he commented. "Wonder if my room looks like this."

Wandering back into the living room, Fa yawned. "She might be in there a while. Maybe I'll go take a nap or something." he thought to himself, stretching his arms. "Eh, I'll just sit for a minute and wait. Maybe she's taking a quick bath." Shrugging, Fa took a seat on one of the couches. Wow, that was really soft. He bounced up and down on the cushion a few times, then yawned again. Without even thinking, he'd flopped down on it and kicked his feet on on the arm rest. In true slacker fashion, it took less than a minute before he started snoring.

A few moments after Fa had fallen asleep on the couch, the bathroom door opened. Following a billowing puff of steam, Nix stepped out. Her robe clung to her still wet body at some places. Her bone white hair laid flat against her back, still visibly wet and held small slivers of ice throughout. She ran her fingers through her hair briefly as she made her way towards the living area, planning to check the lacrima screen for information on the tournament. She heard the faint sound of snoring, which grew louder the closer she got to the living area. She cast a glance towards the door. There was a duffel bag laying near the door....one that she didn't recognize. Nix' eyes narrowed down to angry slits as the temperature in the room dropped slightly. Someone had the nerve to trespass into her room without her permission....this was not a good way to start off her stay here. Her attitude lightened when she saw that the intruder was a Sabertooth mage like herself. Specifically, it was the man who had approached her days before about forming a team, a mage known as Fa Yu Li. Nix let out a low grunt as she folded her arms.

"Well now....this is unexpected. Just what was he trying to accomplish? I suppose the best course would be to wake him up and ask him directly." She said quietly. Settling on this decision, Nix stepped around to the front of the couch and leaned down towards Fa. Supporting the majority of her weight by placing a hand on her knees, she gently pressed her hand to Fa's chest. Her touch was only mildly cool, but it soon began to grow colder as the heat was slowly drained from Fa's body. It wasn't enough to cause him any type of injury, just enough to wake up him so she could speak with him. "Fa, wake up. You really have chosen an interesting place to sleep, haven't you?" She asked as her icy touch continued to minisculely drain the heat from his body.

Fa was quite comfortable on the couch, snoring loudly as he napped. He was having a weird dream about a guy with blue hair and insanely over the top red glasses, riding a giant robot and shouting weird, yet oddly encouraging speeches. There was a big deal about drills for some reason, and as the dream went on, it just got crazier and crazier. When he had time to think about it later, he'd conclude that it would have made the most kick ass comic in the world.

The large Kenpo mage shuddered and squirmed under Nix's cool touch, though remained asleep. As he began growing colder, however, he started to flinch, very slowly returning to conciousness. Finally, he couldn't ignore it anymore. He squirmed away from her hand, pushing it away with his arm, trying to get away from the uncomfortable cold touch."Fanna..." he groaned groggily, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. "That was really cold, you know. Couldn't you have just shaked me?" he asked, looking up at her from his laying down position, covering his mouth as he yawned loudly.

Nix smirked slightly then stood upright, folding her arms just below her breasts.

"Perhaps, but where would the fun be in that?" She asked smartly then moved towards one of the nearby armchairs. She sat down, bringing her hair over her shoulder and leaning back while crossing her legs. The robe rose slightly as she had done so, but not enough to reveal anything. Nix then began to slowly sway her foot, eyeing Fa patiently. "So then, may I ask what the occasion is for such a visit? As you can see, I was not expecting visitors." She inquired, her eyes shifting briefly as she gave Fa a cursory glance over. Her eyes lowered, though one would have to been staring at her to notice the change, and she adopted her usual coldly seductive facial expression. "Though I suppose....since you are here, I could play the role of welcoming host. Would you care for something to drink?" She asked while uncrossing her legs and standing up. Her footsteps whispered across the soft carpeting as she made her way towards the kitchen area. She gave no sign that she intended to change attire. Why would she? She was in her hotel room, after all, she intended to be comfortable. Not to mention the fact that if Fa was going to be on a team with her, he would have to get accustomed to seeing her like this, since it was a fairly often occurrence.

Previously, in a Sabertooth guild far far away an anxious mage props herself ontop of a table in the large open hall ''We should all be supporting our members in the tournament'' This got an uprising cheer from the audience in the guild. A majority took this as a indication to get severaly drunk and a mass mod rushed towards the bar, all pumped up and shouting random encouragements ''We can do it!- Go Sabertooth- To Victory- A gin and tonic please, YEAH!'' the mod generally shoved and fought over each other to get served at the bar.

''N-No no, thats not what i meant'' the the girl tried to explain, aggravated she closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her noise and shook her head ''Everytime..happens everytime i simply mention to do something a bit supportive they take to the bar'' The girl now slammed her fist into a wooden beam and with amazing strength the beam shattered and began to come down, a table of mages had to quickly abandon their seats in effort to escape a wooden beam crashing down on them. The speaker was a little taken back while her thought were 'what the hell?!', her surprise was momentarily when she turned mouth dropped and noticed she had everyones attention, the rabble at the bar all froze, some held in a fighting stance with another and another mage was held up as if he was crowd surfing in an attempt to get closer to the bar. Blank used the stun silenced to lift a guy's pint who now had his back turned.

The speaker had super human strength magic though he was a bit surprised, possible she hit it just a tad bit too much. She coughed and to try and recover her composer and began ''We have to support our guild members'' the crowd was about to uproar again ''AND! and i was thinking we will write them a letter'' the girl finished with a smile. The Whole Hall was silent, an owl hoot could be heard over the deafening silence. 'Who brought a owl in here; shh!' the man was nudged in an indication to shut up.

''A letter?!'' the whole hall said simultaneously. Expecting a something a bit more impressive than a letter the crowd was now a bit more sullen and rejected ''ugh, yea a letter and then we can all sign it and ugh, stuff'' the Speaker tried to recover the crowd again but with no effect until a far voice shouted ''And then we can all drink again!' this rose the crowds spirit with cheers and the usual encouraging shouts ''For Sabertooth! - For Victory- This Tornament is ours!- Im Still waiting on the gin and tonic, Sabertooth yea! Hey, who took my drink''

Mean while, A knock at the residents of Sabertooth members Desdemona Nix and Fa Yu Li, enveloped letters were then slid under the doors and had the signia of Sabertooth on them. The letter when opened will read:

Best Of Luck and bring home the trophy, may honor and courage lead you to victory.

Sabertooth

( fellow Sabetooth members signed each letters while sending their own personal encouraging support )

Paul smith
''Kick some ass''

John Doe
''put them on ICE lol''

Josh Able
''Sabertooth is number one!''

Blank
''Wishing you all the best and bring us something nice back, nothing too expensive. Everything at the guild is fine, wish you were here give some hurt.

........

Fa sat up and rotated his shoulders to stretch out the muscles while rotating his head, feeling his neck bones pop back into place. Now that he was awake, he looked at Nix again, and almost did a double take. He'd always knew she was attractive, but damn, she was hot. He wasn't drooling over her or anything. He had his pride and his discipline, after all. But still, just... Damn. "Yeah, I can see that..." he replied, eyes not exactly meeting hers. Of course, he remembered his manners, and adjust his gaze to the pair he should be staring at.

He was trying to explain his visit, but she cut him off with the offer of drinks. "Oh, sure. They stock this place with sake?" he asked. He needed to check his room and see just what exactly they'd been given here. "Anyways, I was just popping by to wish you good luck tomorrow. Well, that's part of it, anyways. I wanted to know if you gave any thought to my offer." he admitted, head tilting a little as she walked away. D. A. M. N.

Kiba was running straight through the hallways of the hotels at his full speed leaving only sparks of lightning behind him, his hands opening every door that was not locked. However none opened on his way towards the end of the hallway. He turned around and tried the opposite doors of the hallway. The first door opened and Kiba bolted inside with Wattz on his shoulder clinging on. His shirt was used as a pillow for Wattz that was wadded together for Wattz to gain a tighter grip. He went into the room and with in the blink of an eye Kiba sat in the dinning area that was in the kitchen. He could see into the other living room area and saw the two mages. One a muscular tall and rather sleepy man. The other a beautiful girl in just a robe. Kiba thought he was dreaming for a good moment and she turned and started to walk towards the kitchen. His mind started to race quickly. Who is this girl? Where is she from? What was she doing with the muscles guy. He felt a cool breeze as she walked. It was like time was standing still for him to fully take in the beauty of the girl. She was breathe taking at the very least. Wattz noticed that Kiba wasn't fully prepared to speak. Wattz stood up on Kiba's head.

"Hello! I am Wattz and this is Kiba Kizaro. We are mages competing in the tournament and we wanted to meets some new people!"Wattz made a cute smile towards the girl. Kiba finally moved from seeing the girl. "Excuse us for being rather rude with the intrusion of your room." Kiba spoke quickly trying to not open his mouth too much. He could not keep his eyes off the girl.

Nix chuckled lightly as she caught Fa staring at her. He isn't the most subtle man I've met, that's for certain. Perhaps I should see where his intentions truly lie. She thought to herself as she continued towards the kitchen. She glanced towards the door in time to catch a strange flash, but dismissed it when she saw the letter at the base of the door. She was about to head over to pick it up, when someone spoke from near the kitchen area. Nix halted mid-step and her scarlet eyes trailed from the letter over to the dining area, where a young boy sat. Perched on his shoulder was a feline, much like the ones she had seen in Magnolia....they were called Exceed, if she remembered right. The Exceed had greeted her, informing her that they were in search of new friends. The boy seemed enthralled by her current attire, which caused Nix to grin slightly. The grin faded almost instantly when she realized that she hadn't actually invited him, and didn't know who he even was, for that matter. She narrowed her eyes slightly, before adopting her usual facial expression and continuing on her way to the kitchen.

"Yes, I believe there is sake. Would you like it warm...or do you prefer a little chill with your drinks?" She questioned, shooting Fa a coy smirk before opening the cabinet and retrieving the bottle. She turned away from the cabinet and finally decided to address the young boy. "So your names are Wattz and Kiba...interesting." She paused as she turned her attention on Wattz specifically. "You know, little kitty, you're the third one of your kind that I have met so far....and perhaps the most well-mannered." She added as she approached them, reachin up and scratching beneath his chin with her index and middle fingers. "My next question...would be if you are a participant in this competition, Kiba?" She asked as she glanced at him then made her way back over to Fa. Switching the bottle from her left hand to her right, she sat down on Fa's knee and crossed her legs then set the bottle down on the table next to them. At this range, Fa would probably be able to get a good look beneath her robe....and that was what Nix had intended. "So Kiba....you are participating, correct? Have you found out who your opponent will be? What guild are you from, if you don't mind me asking?" She asked while turning her head towards Kiba, casting a brief glance down at Fa as she did so. Her hair still hung down over her shoulder, so she reached up and gently moved it behind her back, exposing her neck and a fair amount of cleavage in the process. Nix smirked for a brief instant, knowing full well what she was doing and enjoying it....it was in her nature, after all.

Fa continued to gaze at Nix's assetts as she walked away, quickly averting his eyes when she turned to look towards the door. His eyes turned to the dining room, and - Wait. He blinked. That kid had not been there before. What the hell was he doing there, blatantly ogling Nix? At least he'd had the courtesy to -try- and make it seem like he could keep his eyes to himself. "Excuse you? You just...You...How the hell did you even get in here!?" he asked, still not trying to figure that out. "Don't you know better than to go wandering into adults rooms, kid?" And would he stop ogling!? He was a teenager, and Nix was a grown woman, for Heaven's sake!

Nix, however, didn't seem to mind remotely. In fact, she was more interested in the damn cat. "Don't you even care that-" And drinks. Fa blinked again. Oh yeah, sake. Well, the stuff he drank was usually warmed, but that was because it was cheap. The sake around here was probably and fancy as the rooms. "Oh, right. Uhhh, chilled, I guess." He'd expected her to bring a cup or something. Maybe she didn't drink sake. But instead, she just took a seat right on his lap and set the bottle down. She didn't even act like it was remotely strange. He was barely even paying attention to what she was saying to the kid at this point. And the way she smirked as she adjusted her hair and started showing off even more cleavage... She was doing this on purpose.

Kiba looked at the two together and they did not seem like anything to personal was going on. He looked towards the woman as she asked about his guild. He started to feel ill. Kiba did not want let everyone know that he is a part of a dark guild even if he planned on leaving it. "I'm in a transition between choosing guilds right now actually. I plan on joining the strongest guild to join after this tournament. "

Wattz felt very good about himself. Compliments were one of Wattz's favorite things coming in a close second behind fish. "Thank you very much. Kiba is in the competition, but we don't know much about who are opponent nor do we really care." Wattz then stared at the muscular man sitting on the coach as the woman approached with his bottle. "We opened the door like most people do of course and we ran inside, but I bet you missed it after all, we are the fastest team in fiore. We aren't just kids either."

Kiba covered his mouth so no one could look at his tongue and looked at Wattz. "Ask them Wattz." Wattz at first looked at Kiba with a perplexed look. As the woman sat down on the muscular man's lap. Kiba wished he would have got that kind of welcome. Wattz then cleared his throat and looked at the couple sitting on the couch. "So who exactly are you and what guild are you guys from?"
Kiba tried his best not to stare at the girl in the robe but it was impossible so he made a full gaze up and down her body. Kiba started to really like this tournament now.

To say Nix wasn't enjoying the looks she was getting from both Kiba and Fa would be an understatement, she was reveling in them. Though she didn't give any indication of that, since it happened quite often. She shifted her weight slightly and picked up the bottle of sake from the table as both Wattz and Kiba gave their answers to her questions. Using the nail on her thumb, she broke the bottle's seal then brought it to her lips. She exhaled slowly, breathing a thin icy mist into the bottle. Violet frost gathered on the outside of the bottle then she took a drink. She lowered the bottle from her lips, licking them briefly then holding it out to Fa.

"Interesting....and what if your opponent turned out to be one of us? What would you do then? Would you still sit calmly and have idle chatter with us? Or would you decide to try and knock us out of the competition beforehand. You don't seem to be that type of person, but then again...." She paused as the temperature in the room dropped then both Fa and Kiba felt an eerie chill shoot up their spines. "Looks can be deceiving, can't they?" She asked, her usual expression still present on her face, though there was a sinister undertone to her words. Almost at once, the change passed and she let out a brief chuckle. "In any case, you asked our names and where we were from....I suppose no harm would come from knowing that. My name is Nix and this is Fa, we're both mages from Sabertooth. Unfortunately for you, that is all we can and will tell you in regards to our identities. But tell me something, speedy...." She paused as she placed the bottle down in Fa's lap then shifted her position so that she was leaning over the couch, her knees resting on it while she supported her weight on her elbows with her arms crossed over the top of the couch. She focused completely on Kiba. "The majority of your time here, the little kitty has spoken for you. Are you perhaps intimidated by me? Have you never been in the presence of a woman?" She asked, lowering her upper body slightly so her breasts her pressed against her forearms and giving Kiba an entrancing grin. These two are so easy to seduce it's almost sad....it seems the animal is the only one who keeps his wits here. How comical. She thought to herself as she waited for Kiba's answer.

Fa didn't much like the kid's answer. In fact, he was about three seconds from moving Nix off his lap and pounding the side of his hand into the kid's head, just like his old man used to do to him. He couldn't stand how disrespectful this kid was. He burst into a complete strangers room and acted like it was all right. Okay, granted, he hadn't exactly knocked before entering, but he was an adult, and he already knew Nix. The kid was spared a karate chop to the forehead, however, when Nix presented him with the bottle. "Oh. Thanks." He would have liked a cup, but he wasn't some sissy. He could drink after her. Though he wondered why the sudden seductive behaviour. Sure, he wasn't oblivious to the fact that he had a great body, though he wasn't some weirdo who went around blurting it to random people, or anyone for that matter, but this wasn't exactly something he'd expected.

Nix seemed intent on seducing the boy, she'd even changed her position so she was showing off her cleavage to him instead. But Fa wasn't interested in her games. The kid was pissing him off with his arrogant attitude. "Now wait just a damn minute." he said, standing up. "You're really ticking me off, kid. You came into a complete strangers room, had the gall to give smart ass answers to your elders, and now your sitting there and interrogating us while you ogle Nix!" he stated angrily. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat some respect into that thick skull of yours."

Nix' eyes narrowed down to angry slits and she cut her eyes towards Fa. When she looked back towards where Kiba had been, he was nowhere to be seen. Apparently Fa's outburst had been enough to scare him off....thus interrupting Nix' fun. The temperature in the room began to drop rapidly, violet frost gathering in various places around the room.

"Fa..." He voice was cold and unforgiving as she shifted up from her position, moving onto her feet moments later. She then turned her cold gaze on him, sending a deep chill down his spine. "You interrupted my fun....what are you going to do to make it up? I think..." She paused as she moved down to him, pressing her knee down onto his lap while resting one hand on the back of the couch and the other against his cheek. Her touch was incredibly cold, to the point where it nearly burned. She leaned down closer to him until their lips were nearly touching, an icy mist flowing from her mouth. He could feel the daunting cold flowing off of her and could tell he had really made her angry. "....that a little pain is in order. Perhaps if you're up to it....and you withstand enough...you'll be forgiven and get something more....pleasurable. I should warn you though....declining is not an option." She whispered coldly then pressed her lips to his, causing the cold mist to flow into his mouth and spread to the rest of his body, beginning to drop his body temperature by the second.

Fa was more than happy to see the kid take a hike. He sat down with a huff. Kids these days. No respect, no discipline, no- Was it getting cold in here? Fa looked down at Nix as she said his name, literally feeling the coldness in her voice. Great. Somehow, he'd ended up as the ass in this mess.

He stayed quiet as Nix mounted him and expressed her displeasure, shivering at the incredibly cold touch of her hand. He was a head taller than her, almost three times her weight, and could fit one hand around her entire arm and probably sling her around like a toy, but even then, she managed to portray a sense of dominance. That frightened him more than her magic. After all, as a warrior and as a man, dominance was everything.

To be kissed, however, was unexpected. Fa had only been silent before, but now he was speechless. It wasn't just a peck on the lips. It was a full blown, open mouthed kiss. If it wasn't for the fact that she was steadily pumping cold into his body, he might have blushed at how forward she was. Yet at the same time, a fire was starting to burn in his chest. This wasn't just a kiss, after all. It was Nix. She was testing him, hell, she was challenging him. And Fa Yu Li never backed away from a challenge, even one as strange as this.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand from his face. She could feel his hand trembling from the cold. Using his superior size, weight, and strength, Fa rose up and pushed forward, putting himself on top. He pulled away, only by inches, his lips pale from the freezing cold. "I never back down from a challenge." he breathed, his whole body shaking. Her kiss was like ice, but even so, he pressed his lips back against hers.

Nix easily removed her wrist from Fa's grip, placing it against his chest and flooding even more cold into his body. Though she hadn't expected this type of reaction, she was still amused by it. My, my! So he does have some fight in him, after all...let's see just how much cold he can take. She thought, moving her hand from the couch and to the back of Fa's neck. Pretty soon Fa would begin to suffer from frostbite and, if he hadn't already, begin going into the early stages of hypothermia. Nix' grip on Fa's neck tightened and she pulled him closer, pressing her lips further against his as more cold began to flood his body. If he kept going after that, his organs would begin to fail. She was completely aware of this fact, and quite possibly didn't care if he was aware of it either.

Nix was pinned under him, her hands on his chest and neck, their lips locked in an open mouthed kiss. Under any other circumstances, this could quite possibly be the single greatest moment of his life. But the cold she was emitting was stinging him to the point of tears. She's not stopping. And it's so damn cold... He thought, shivering violently. His lips were numb now, he could barely even tell that they were still kissing.

Fa was starting to suspect she might actually freeze him to death if this went on. His body was freezing. It reminded him of the time he'd gotten the idea to try endurance training in the middle of a blizzard and some of the guildmates had to drag his unconcious, half-naked body back into the guild because he'd collapsed from hypothermia. He'd been under for over a week because of that. And there was a tournament coming up. That part of him, that stubborness that more than crossed the line of stupidity, argued that he couldn't just back away from this, but his rationality argued back that he couldn't fight if he caught hypothermia again. Plus, if everyone found out he had to drop out of a tournament because he wrestled tongues with Nix, he'd never get to live it down.

Still, his pride refused to let him just pull away. His fingers, pale white now, slowly curled up into his palm. Mustering his strength, Fa rammed his fist into Nix's gut. "S-s-sorry." he shivered, his once darkly tanned body now pale white. "B-b-b-but I h-have a f-fight t-tom-m-m-morrow."

Nix gave a disappointed sigh as she pushed Fa aside and sat upright, crossing her legs. She ran her fingers through her hair, moving it back behind her ear before picking up the sake bottle.

"45 seconds....underwhelming....but I suppose it is commendable." She said in a disinterested tone of voice. She raised the bottle to her lips, taking a drink before setting it down again. She then leaned back against the couch, resting her arms on across the top of the couch. "So then, Fa my dear, are you willing to try again? Or have you had enough?" She asked, licking her lips seductively.

Fa shivered, rapidly rubbing his hands against his arms while Nix acted bored. Of course, he'd forgot, she was as much a masochist as she was a sadist. "45 seconds is plently. You gave me frost bite." he replied, blowing hot hair onto his hands.

He looked at Nix skeptically. "Depends." he replied, "Are you going to try to freeze me to death again?" he asked. "I'll gladly kiss you, but I'm not about to risk losing my fight tomorrow because you decide to put more down my throat than just your tongue."

Nix chuckled lightly at Fa's comment as she leaned forward again, crossing her arms over her knees. Her seductively calm eyes focused on Fa completely, as if she were issuing a silent challenge. After another moment, her eyes lowered and she bit down on the nail of her index finger, giving him an incredibly alluring look.

"Perhaps I will, perhaps I won't....you won't know until you try again, correct?" She challenged. She then leaned towards him, moving up to his ear. "What's the matter, Fa? Are you afraid of little old me?" She whispered in an arousing voice that would give him shivers and no doubt turn him on at the same time. She then moved away and stared him in the eyes. "So then, Fa, what will you do? It's not nice to make a woman wait." She whispered then licked her lips again.

Nix was right. The shivers running down his spine were not just from the cold. Still, he was conflicted. Nix was a beautiful, alluring woman, but at the same time, he couldn't play her little games, especially not tonight. He mulled over his options for a few moments, watching her.

"Try to freeze me again, and I'm leaving." he warned. He cupped his fingers around her chin as he leaned forward, raising her head just enough to press his lips against hers again.

A deep violet gleam shone in Nix' eyes briefly before she leaned into him more. At first it would feel as if she were in fact freezing him again, but actually what he was feeling was the residual effects of their previous embrace. This time, she moved her hand up to Fa's cheek while the other was rested on his shoulder. Surprisingly, her touch was warm. She leaned forward even more, causing him to settle back against the couch. After a few moments, she pulled away, giving him another light peck on the lips before looking at him.

"I told you if you withstood enough you would get something more pleasurable. However...." She paused as she leaned over to his ear. "It's not what you were thinking. You haven't earned that privilege yet, Fa my dear, so be content with what you've just received." She whispered before trailing her tongue lightly along his ear, her breath cooling his neck and ear and sending a shiver through his body. "Perhaps if you're a good boy and you win your match, you may be rewarded." She whispered again then stood up, folding her arms just beneath her breasts. "You're welcome to stay this evening if you wish, but don't try anything. Otherwise...." She paused as the temperature dropped slightly in the room and a deep violet gleam flashed in her eyes. "You'll be in for an early retirement." She warned with chilling calmness before walking towards the bed area. Halfway there, she remembered the letter and instead headed for the door. Kneeling down, she picked up the letter and opened it. After scanning it over she smiled slightly to herself, heading back towards the bed area. She climbed into the large bed, settling in with a content sigh before closing her eyes. She thought about her match tomorrow and the poor soul she was paired against. She would thoroughly thrash her, it was only right to do so to someone who was foolish enough to challenge a Sabertooth mage. With that thought in mind, a devious grin spread across Nix' face as she drifted off to sleep.
