When; Wednesday, 15th of August; all day
Rating; Teen? There's kissing.
Characters; Sif (asofwar) and YOU
Summary; Rather than post on the network, consider this the catch-all Sif post for Victory Kisses. Come get yours today!
Log;

[During the whole day, Sif can be found performing her regular activities, without letting such a silly curse affect her too much. Kissing others is not such a big deal, especially if it's pleasing; even if it's more than she's done in a long time. You won't find her crying about it; she'll be very civil! On her best behaviour, really.

Locations where she can be found throughout the day are her workplace as part of the Security team at Stark tower, walking the dogs in the park, strolling wherever, grabbing lunch at a random restaurant, or having a drink before heading home.

Bring the chapstick.]

[asofwar]

[She doesn't. But she doesn't like being wrong, either.]

The warning still applies. [the one from long ago, when she'd thought herself a...mother.]

[worldofourown]

[ Who does? ]

So protective. Even though the girls aren't kin. It's astonishing.

[ Family is Karl's first priority. But he'd never condescend to include humans among it. Cursed or not. ]

[asofwar]

I do not offer my protection easily. [But once she does, it sticks.]

I need not have kin to know you are dangerous.

[worldofourown]

[ He could say the same of himself. He's a Chevalier. Created to serve and protect a Queen alone. ]

[ But his object of affection -- and obsession -- have both left the City. ]

That's rather harsh. The City teems with 'dangerous' people.

[ Including you, Sif. ]

[asofwar]

[Oh but if she knew that, in name and duty, they are almost alike. She scrunches up her nose, brow furrowing with a frown.]


Oh, I am aware of it. But I do not hear that said dangerous people lurk and threaten the innocent and vulnerable.

[worldofourown]

[ A slight shrug. ]

Predators are as predators do. [ And Chiropterans exist to prey on humans. ] I'm merely keeping true to my place in the foodchain.

[ He's seen 'vampires' here who refuse blood-drinking. Who are too timid -- too soft -- to hunt. Disgusting. Like wolves grateful for leashes and collars. ]

[asofwar]

[Perhaps he did it on purpose, but the opportunity to say what comes next fills her with a certain amount of satisfaction. She smirks, stands up straight.]

And we could say the same for hunters.

[worldofourown]

[ All proud and upright, she reminds him irrepressibly of someone. All that's missing is a bloody sword in hand and a red-splattered battlefield. There's a nostalgic twinge. And something darker, sharper, that feeds his smirk. ]

Then I wish you a happy hunt, M'Lady. Though my kind make trickier quarries than you might think.

[ Is an unkillable being even quarry? ]

[asofwar]

[She rewards him with a mockery of a bow, the challenge resonating in her ears, acknowledged. As she straightens up, she realises this is quite the milestone for them.

Since the first time they sparred, and the moment she realised that he was not as harmless as one would think, this might be the first time she has not felt a burning need to strangle him.

Apparently, that triggers things that should not be triggered, and she is in his personal space bubble in seconds, and kissing him - hard - in less.]

[worldofourown]

[ Karl's only sign of surprise is a raised eyebrow. Of course she's cursed. Same as him. The Deities so enjoy their pesky games. Inwardly, he's glad she's not human. Not that it matters much. He can find twisted amusement in nearly anything, after all.]

[ He meets the kiss midway, unperturbed. He's done filthier things in his life to let this bother him. Not that the kiss is filthy. The opposite. It's almost -- playful. A slide of lips. A bite of teeth. ]

[ Just enough to remind her what he is. ]

[asofwar]

[Just enough to make it clear that she won't back down easily. That regardless of what he is, challenge or threat, she can be double that.

Bite of teeth, slide of lips. Until the curse is sated and she can pull away.]

[worldofourown]

[ He does enjoy an opponent who gives as good as she gets. Karl hums his approval at her fierceness. On anyone else, it'd be a provocative sound. On Karl, it's simply predatory. One cool palm lifts to her jaw. Light. But with a potential for danger. ]

[ He's always been tactile. With playmates, and foes. ]

[asofwar]

[A learning experience, then; but not as enjoyable as it would be were he not someone she's placed on a list of people to be wary of. Soon, the kiss stops, and distance is set between them, when she slips out of his grip with ease.]

That is enough from you.

[worldofourown]

I wasn't the one who started it.

[ A dry protest. But he's already stepped away. He offers her a bow in facetious echo of her earlier one. This has been a learning experience indeed. In his case: amusing and useful. She's no shrinking violet. How gratifying that is. He loves a challenge as much as a conquest. ]

Enjoy the rest of your day, M'Lady.

[ He doesn't wait for a reply. Turns on his heel, continuing on his stroll. ]
