The Forest
Alyce: Alyce sprung over fallen logs with catlike grace, racing at top speed to get to her destination. Upon reaching her preferred section of dense woodland, she kicked up dried leaves as she skidded to an abrupt halt. The female gazed around her proximity, observing the silence of the forest with mild interest. She sucked in oxygen and cast a fleeting glance down at her watch to attain the new record. She smiled at her little victory and ran a hand through her obsidian hair.

Lucian: Perched on a branch, Lucian watched Alyce from a safe distance. He was quite impressed by her agility and dexterity. However, she eventually left his view which became obstructed by trees and foliage. Curious as to who it was he saw, he decided to follow.He created a bight white beam of moonlight which cascaded from branch to branch toward the direction she disappeared to. He then walked across the beam of light. He came around a large tree and caught her in his sight once again. He quietly climbed down to a branch on the tree and continued to watch her.

Alyce: The blinding beam of light had caught her keen eye and she spun towards him, lauching a knife in Lucian's direction. The blade embedded itself into the three trunk just a fraction to the right. It had sliced a very tiny scrap into the flesh on the side of his neck. She expelled a puff of water vapor, rubbing her face with her pale hands. "Gods, why did you scare me like that?"

Lucian: He spun around and caught the knife with an artificial moon about the size of a basketball. As the moon decayed away into a fine glittering powder he grabbed the knife and turned back toward her. He ran his thumb along the small cut and brought the blood to his tongue. He dug the knife into the side of the tree and used it as a handle as he pulled himself forward. He eyed over at her and replied, "No reason." A cheeky smile covered his face as he Continued to look at her, studying her.

Alyce: Alyce watched him skillfully lap up the blood from his flesh with the tip of her tongue, a look of childish wonderment adorning her pale features. She snapped out of her trance and grumbled a string of curses and insults under her breath before stalking towards the tree. She gazed up at him and then to a perch near him. She carefully sprung up and flipped her body, using the momentum to launch herself up onto her desired spot. She reached out her palm for the knife.

Lucian: He dislodged the knife carefully and reached his hand, with it, out toward hers. However, instead of giving her the knife, he flicked it back into the tree and grabbed her hand. He leaned forward and kissed her hand, a smirk still across his face. After coming back to a upright stance, he released her hand and then grabbed and gave her the knife. "It is nice to meet such a beauty in a place that matches," he said as he turned his head back and forth, motioning toward the surrounding forest area.

Alyce: Her eyes went wide at his mannerly gesture and she recoiled slightly, her hand pressing tightly against her bosom as she regarded him closely. It was clearly not a gesture she was accustomed to. "A beauty?" she echoed and her hand shot out, snatching her knife back before she flattened herself against the trunk of the tree, attentively watching his every movement.

Lucian: "Yes, I must say," he said as he watched her intently, "You make this place seem quite dreary in comparison." He turned toward the clearing in the forest and gazed out at it. As he did, multiple streaks of moonlight began to flow out from the foliage above like silky ribbons cast over a mantle. He turned back to her, a smile on his face and a glint in his eye and the moonlight slow faded away.

Alyce: "So you are, in fact, a son of Pandia." She leaned back on the balls of her feet, somehow easily balancing on the branch. She twitched the corner of her lip, dismissing all his compliments and that painstakingly handsome smile he offered.

Lucian: A disheartened grin fell on his face. "Yes, well, I enjoy making things more beautiful if possible," he said looking her square in the eyes, "However, unlike the dimly lit forest, I currently see no room for improvements."

Alyce: "You're quite the charming demigod. That is something I am not used to," she commented and leaned forward, her eyes locking with his. "You're definitely someone I'd like to keep around."

Lucian: He smiled slightly but quickly wiped it away. He took a step closer to her and inquired, "Is that an invitation?" He took another slight step closer until he was only about half a foot away from her.

Alyce: She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth in quite the thoughtful manner, her brows furrowing at the man before her. "It could be," she concluded with a genuine smile. "My name is Alyce Montague."

Lucian: "A name befitting your beauty," he said softly, "My name is Sir Lucian Tryon of the Tryon family. It is a pleasure to meet you." He took another step forward, no only an inch or two away from her.
