Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden turns when Thaelyn comes out. Though his eyes don't pop out his head. There is a definite gleam of hunger in them. Indicating he does appreciate how to dress settles on her form. At her comments, he looks down at his own clothing. Not really understanding what she is referring to. So he just smiles and nods.
"You look good enough to eat. Maybe we will do that later."
There is definitely a mischevious spark in his eyes. He is getting better at dirty talk. He offers her his arm.
"Lead the way."

Age: 22
Physical Description: At 5'7", Thaelyn is just above average height for a woman, with a slender build that makes her just shy of willowy. Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

The way he looked at her made Thaelyn shiver as desire filled her and electricity seemed to shoot up her spine. Alden's words, however, made her blush vividly. Taking his arm with a grin, she led him to the restaurant. It was an intimate place right on the water, and whens he gave the host her name, he led them to the second floor, and out onto a secluded balcony, with a small table set for two. Magical lights hovered overhead, casting everything in a warm yellow light, and softly glowing flowers floated in a small bowl in the table's center. He offered them a wine menu and put a small basket of warm, fragrant bread on the table, then departed. Thaelyn bypassed the table for the moment, going to the railing to look out at the ocean, bathed in the shades of the setting sun.
"Wow." She breathed that lone word in a disbelieving, slightly awed tone. She'd heard good things about this restaurant, but this was unexpectedly amazing.

Alden looked around the restaurant as they entered. It certainly looked expensive. Though from what he was beginning to understand of such things it was likely worth it. This is proved when they are lead to a private balcony overlooking the ocean. He joins her at the railing and looks out. It was certainly getting late and the interplay of the dying sun and the fires being started for the nights partying is fascinating. Though he doesn't look at it for very long. He prefers watching the look of awe on her face. It was far more intriguing to him. Her face was just so expressive everything that happened to her prompting an interplay of expressions. It was a marvel to watch. At least in his opinion.

It took a few moments for Thaelyn to realize that Alden was beside her, but not looking out at the view as she was. She turned her head and looked up at him, seeing him gazing at her, and she blushed again. Immediately, one hand rose from the railing and patted her flushed cheeks.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" She checked her forehead, nose, and chin as well. Just to be safe. She didn't feel anything. Maybe it was just some sort of smudge that she couldn't feel? Hopefully Alden would be nice and get it off for her. It didn't even occur to her that he might just be enjoying the way her emotions were reflected in her features.

Thaelyn's reaction gets a low chuckle from Alden. Reaching out he takes her hands in his and pulls her close. He says with an amused gleam in his eyes.
"There is nothing on your face. I just enjoy watching how you react for things. It's very interesting to see how expressive you are."
Then since she is close anyway he leans down and takes a kiss from her lips. Something he enjoyed even more than watching her react to things. He lips were wonderfully soft and warm. The way she always seemed to melt into him stirred his desire. Something in knowing he had such a willing partner so eager to please him appealed to him on a very base level.

Thaelyn went eagerly to Alden as he pulled her closer, and then she was blushing even more when he answered her question. Her lips claimed by a smile that was nearly shy.
"Oh. Well then." And then he was kissing her. Thaelyn sighed and leaned into him, kissing him back with all of the feelings in her heart. Part of her really wanted to tell Alden how she felt about him, but she was afraid. Their moment was interrupted by the discreet clearing of a throat, which made Thaelyn jump back from him and look over at their server, wide-eyed and flushed. The man had the grace to look embarrassed as he left menus on the table and backed up, waiting for them to either ask him to come back later or give him their drink orders.
"Let's um.. order? Yes?" She pulled away from Alden and retreated to the table, looking at the menus curiously. She ordered a passion fruit sangria and a seafood pasta dish, then settled in, tearing apart a slice of bread and nibbling at it. She leaned forward to peer at the drink menu before Alden and pointed out one that was nonalcoholic, but looked flavorful, thinking he might like it.

Alden growl in disappointment when his kiss is broken. The look he shoots the waiter being enough to make the man reconsider his life choices. The High Marshal remained a very scary man when he wanted to be. He settles in across from Thaelyn still slightly miffed. Though he supposed he shouldn't be. It wasn't as though he wouldn't have the opportunity to kiss Thaelyn again in the near future.
He browses the menu idly eventually settling on an obscenely expensive dish. It was 8oz rib eye steak, lobster, garden salad, and a baked potato. He is about to order water when Thaelyn points out the juice option. He'd never tried juice though he knew his kids liked the orange juice Miss Higgs sometimes made. So he orders that to go with his meal. Curious about how it will taste.

The waiter took their orders and menus and departed, leaving the couple alone again. Thaelyn sipped at the glass of water in front of her, letting her gaze drift out over the railing and onto the scenery once more. The sun had set, only the faintest glow remaining on the horizon as the stars began to pop into view, and she couldn't help but smile.
"You know, I've always thought romantic dinners were overrated, but this is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen, and it's made all the better by being here with you." She glanced back at Alden, and gave him an affectionate smile. She sometimes wondered how he didn't see her feelings.. then she realized he probably wouldn't know love if it jumped up and kissed him square on the mouth. Which was sad, another symptom of what he'd been through, but somewhat of a relief, sometimes. She felt certain Alden didn't love her back.. and she didn't know if he even could. Him knowing how she felt would just make things.. awkward.

Thaelyn's assessment wasn't wrong but wasn't entirely right. Romantic love was still a mysterious and hard to to quantify emotion for Alden. But love in it's basest form was known to him. Moon and his children had taught him what it was to love someone. Though what it meant to be in love with someone... That was still something he needed to be taught.
The ever attentive Alden notices the look on Thaelyn's face. Her thoughts reflecting in her expression. Which in this case was sadness mixed with deep thought. Reaching over Alden takes her hand in his and he gives it a gentle squeeze. He then asks curiously eyes intent on hers.
"Something troubling you?"

Thaelyn startled out of her thoughts when Alden took her hand, and she blinked at him rapidly. Dammit. She really needed to get better at not letting her thoughts show on her face. She'd never been very good at hiding things, or lying. Still, it wasn't hard for her to smile brightly at Alden and shake her head.
"Nope! Everything is great. Oh look, our drinks are here!" She latched onto this with eagerness, and pulled her drink closer when the server set it down, sipping at the liquid. She made an appreciative sound and smiled at the waiter.
"Delicious! Thank you." The waiter smiled as well and said their dinners would be out shortly. Thaelyn sipped at her drink again and then looked at Alden, tilting her head inquisitively.
"How's your drink?"

Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden raises an eyebrow as she lies to him. Wondering if she thinks she's a good enough liar to fool him. Still, he had no reason to push the issue at the moment. Especially since the waiter returned with their drinks. He eyes the concoction curiously sniffing at it. It smells sweet just like the juice his children enjoy. So after a moment he takes a sip. It is very sweet. But still rather pleasant.
"It's good. How's yours?"
He looks up at her smiles. It was very easy to smile around her. Not forced smiles like he normally wore, but real ones. The ones that weren't him masking how he really felt but were how he truly felt.

"Very good! I like how they mix the fruit in there so you get a melange of flavors. I'd offer you some but I know you're not fond of alcohol. ..Unless you'd like to try it?" She offered the glass with a curious expression. The mixture of white wine, a bubbly citrus-flavored water, and mild coconut rum had floating within it a slice of orange, a few slices of apple, and two strawberries, which gave it a mixed flavor of sweets and tangs that was really quite appealing, and mostly covered up the flavor of the alcohol. This is what Alden would discover, should he decide to try it. Even if he didn't, Thaelyn continued to sip at it, and pick at the bread in front of her as she thought out loud.
"You know, there's a resort on the island. When the kids are a little older, you should bring them here, get a couple rooms, stay for a week.. have a fun vacation with them. They'd probably love it."

Alden takes the drink and sniffs it. It smells just like his juice. So he takes a sip. It isn't bad. The fruity flavor masks the bitter alchohol which makes it far more palatable. He hands it back to Thaelyn and nods.
"It's good."
Her suggestion is met with a raised eyebrow then a frown of thought. He considers what it'd be like to be away from home for week. And whether Miss Higgs would appreciate a trip to Carmela. Finally he nods.
"Worth considering it'd be nice you, me, and the kids for a week out here."

Thaelyn seemed to hesitate at the suggestion of her joining what would be a family vacation. Then she spoke uncertainly.
"I mean, I'd love to come along, but wouldn't you rather enjoy a week with just the kids? Some quality family time?" She wasn't a part of their family. She was just a.. visitor. Briefly stopping into their lives, although she remained wishful that the 'brief' would become a long-term thing. Before she could think any further about this, the waiter returned with their food, and she lit up. Sniffing appreciatively at the dish as it was laid before her, and gazing hungrily at the noodles with peas, broccoli, diced tomatoes, crab meat, shrimp, and scallops in creamy alfredo sauce.
"Oooh, this looks amazing! Thank you so much. Oh, and if I could please have another?" This was said as Thaelyn wriggled her half-empty glass, then took another series of sips from what remained within it. After doing so, she took the first bite of her dinner, and moaned. It was so good she had to rein in her appetite so she didn't eat like a starving creature.

Alden opened his mouth to say what he thought was obvious. Thaelyn was family. She'd become part of his loose group of people who were his family. Even if they didn't stay together she'd always have a place in his home and his heart. But he is distracted by dinner. An obscene amount of fancy food is laid in front of Alden. The High Marshal doesn't share her hesitation. Immediately cracking open a lobster claw and dipping it in garlic butter. The first step in demolishing his meal.
"It is really good."
Alden says between mouthfuls of lobster and steak.

"Mm, yes, lobster is so good. It kinda weirds me out to look at, though. Kinda looks like a bug. Makes it hard to enjoy eating." She eyed the lobster as she said this, continuing to dig happily into her own pasta dish. She finished her first drink, enjoying the mild warm, fuzzy feeling from the alcohol, and thanked the waiter when he returned with her second. Thaelyn briefly reflected that she should be careful not to get drunk, and then resumed eating, as well as sipping steadily at her replenished beverage.

"You don't eat bugs?"
Alden asks curiously. He'd eaten bugs they were crunching though they lacked flavor. He's eaten them as part of his survival training. Shrugging he looks at the lobster and tries to see why it weirds her out. To him, it is just a thing to be devoured. Nothing special about it. So after a moment he cracks the other claw and dips it in butter. Handing the meat over to Thaelyn. Since she'd said she enjoyed the taste he thinks she might like to try his. It isn't long before his meal is finished and he sips idly at his juice while he waits for Tahelyn to catch up.

Thaelyn choked on her bite of food and began coughing, then once she was assured she wasn't going to inhale any more of it, she began laughing softly. Taking a cautionary sip of her drink, she smiled at Alden, eyes alight with mirth.
"No. Can't say I eat bugs, and I hope I never have to, though I know they're high in protein." She blinked when he offered her some of the claw meat, and then her eyes softened. Reaching out, she took it with a soft smile.
"Thank you, Alden." She ate the meat with obvious enjoyment, licking the buttery sauce from her fingertips with a sound of contentment. Returning to her meal, she finished several minutes after Alden, and took the final sip of her drink. She was comfortably buzzed now, not drunk, just intoxicated enough to feel very good. When the waiter appeared, he exchanged a dessert menu for their empty plates. Thaelyn peered at the menu curiously, and one dish in particular caught her eye.
"Hmm, how do you feel about sharing this one?" She pointed to the dessert, which was a collection of native berries with a sweet cream, lightly drizzled with a caramel sauce. She looked questioningly at Alden with a smile, not sure if he'd want to share it with her or get his own.

Alde chuckles as Thaelyn chokes on her food. Reaching over to pat her on her shoulder. Only moving back to his chair when he is certain she is alright. He isn't surprised to hear she hasn't eaten bugs. It didn't seem to be a preferred dish for most people. Indeed he didn't think he'd ever seen a restaurant that offered bug on its menu. When the desert menu comes he looks over it curiously. He'd been about to order some ridiculous concoction of chocolate and pineapple when she asks if he'd like to share a plate. He eyes the item in question and then nods.
"Sure that look tasty."

She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

Thaelyn gave him a beaming grin, then looked up when the waiter returned and said they'd be sharing the dessert in question. He assured them he'd be back momentarily, then left. Sure enough, within moments, he returned with a wide cone-shaped glass filled with a mixture of berries in sweet cream, drizzled with caramel sauce, and two spoons tucked into it. Thaelyn thanked him and scooted her chair around so she could sit beside Alden while they ate.
"This looks good." Before she took a bite, though, she looked up at the man beside her. Her crimson gaze searching his face. No matter how short their time together was.. she would never regret, or forget, Alden. She was fairly certain that she would never love another man like she did him. With these thoughts in mind, she smiled, and spoke in a quiet voice.
"Thank you for coming with me, Alden. This has been an amazing day."
