That's it?

[Zane bites his lip, mostly to fight down a smile.]

You could be asking for anything and all you want is a kiss on the cheek and cheesecake?

[Oh no he's still really cute!]

[shylyintrepid]

Well, yes. Sex is only enjoyable if both parties consent, and you've made it pretty clear that you aren't interested in me. I wouldn't ask for more.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Correction. I'm not interested in faerie-magic-whatever influencing my decisions or keeping me someplace.

But I'm interested in getting to know and take you, the really adorable milkist and chocolatist, out for dinner. As long as he doesn't use any said faerie magic. [He smiles sheepishly, rubbing his shoulder.] I'd really like to get to know you.

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan's smile? The biggest, brightest smile.]

I promise I will only use faerie magic on flowers and other things to entertain, not to ensnare. I would love dinner.

[honey_silk_tongue]

[Zane can't help it. He leans forward and kisses Jehan's cheek.]

That works, but cutie, no more breaking and entering to leave flowers even if you have help. [He wags his finger, playful.]

[shylyintrepid]

Fine, I'll just enchant the roses to appear in your room without my help! Turn around and take your shirt off.

[He is so red from that kiss, by the way. So red]

[honey_silk_tongue]

Totally missing the point of breaking and entering. [But he shoots Jehan a smile. Really it's a bit flattering that he'd want to leave him roses... A little creepy but at least he means well?

Zane hopes he means well. After all he's pushing aside his apprehension and suspicion right now. He's putting his trust in Jehan.]

Cute and forward, huh?

[The tease is to hide his anxiousness as he turns around, tugging the hem of his shirt up and off. His shoulders tense as he looks ahead, letting Jehan look at the withering rose painted across his right shoulder blade, thorn vines trailing down his side.

There are only a few petals left.]

[shylyintrepid]

...three years. Oh, Zane.

[Jehan puts a hand over the flower]

This...may hurt, a bit. Forcibly breaking a spell is never entirely pleasant, but as this is set to turn you into a slavering, rabid dire wolf I am certain you will prefer a burning sensation. You may still have a rose tattoo, marks are always the trickiest to remove, but the curse will be broken.

[As he speaks, his hand starts heating up until Zane's shoulder should feel like it's on fire]

[honey_silk_tongue]

Dire wolf... Y'mean those wolves in Game of Thrones? Huh. At least I would cu- Ow! Mother-

[He swallows any further curses, digging his nails into his palms as his hands form fists. After it's all said and done he'll be shooting Jehan a glare because a little warning would have been nice. Like before he started talking.]

[shylyintrepid]

[Shrug]

If you had tensed, it would have taken longer. But you're curse-free, now.

[honey_silk_tongue]

I wouldn't've tensed!

[He totally would and he'll be pouting until Jehan's words register. Reaching back he gingerly touches the mark.]

How d'you know for sure? How can I know for sure?

[shylyintrepid]

Do you feel any pain? Sense of impending doom?

[honey_silk_tongue]

Besides the lingering sensation of someone setting my shoulder on fire?

[Alright, he's being a bit overdramatic, whining just a little. At least until it clicks. His eyes widen a bit.]

... No, I don't. [And a look of dawning begins to form, eyes lighting up.]

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan smiles]

Then you're free.

[honey_silk_tongue]

[Free. Such a simple word and yet it held so much meaning. He reaches back again to touch where the tattoo is. A constant reminder of what had happened, what could've happened but-

But he was free. Unless Jehan lied and he was still going to die or something, but that didn't seem the case and-

Zane has to duck his head, because yup. Those sure are tears.]

[shylyintrepid]

--oh, oh no. No, please don't cry!

[Jehan looks for tissues and ends up pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket to hand to Zane]

Please, smile! You're free!

[honey_silk_tongue]

[Zane shakes his head, actually laughing.]

Happy tears! Do-Don't worry!

[He accepts the handkerchief, even though he knows it won't do much good. It's best to wait until their all done before he tries wiping them away.]

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan smiles]

I'm glad I could help you, petite. No one deserves that curse, not unless they're the most awful of people.
