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 is about to dig into the confection before them when he sees Taelyn's look. He scoots in a little closer to her and draws her into an embrace. Pressing a gentle kiss to the side of her head. He murmurs softly into her hair.
"I've enjoyed myself as well. I got distracted earlier. You should know that whatever happens between us. You will always have a spot in my family. Moon taught me that family isn't just people related to you by blood it's a choice. I choose to have you in my family."
He holds her then for a long silent moment. Enjoying her warmth and softness. Glad that he can have these moments where he has no worries. No troubles. Just a perfect bit of happiness for him with a person he loved.

Roleplay posts: 310 
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.

Thaelyn blinked when Alden moved closer and pulled her into his arms, but she didn't fight it. She leaned into him, sliding her arms around his waist and looking adoringly up at him. His words filled her heart with light and warmth, and she couldn't stop herself even if she wanted to. She tilted her head up, pressing her lips against his in a kiss filled with emotion and a low, simmering desire. When she broke the kiss, she sighed, and her mildly intoxicated brain let slip the words she'd been thinking for more than a week now.. and especially over the course of this day.
"I love you." Those three syllables were murmured against his lips, and for several moments, Thaelyn was content. Then she realized what she'd done, and panicked. Nonono. He couldn't know how she felt. He'd gently put her down and this would be over. She had to recover somehow! So she tried to nonchalantly cover it up and pretend she wasn't freaking out.
"..r eyes. I love your eyes. They're so pretty this close and especially in this light and hey this dessert looks.. good..." Belatedly, Thaelyn realized it was too late, and Alden was too smart to buy such an awful lie. Pulling away from him, she unwrapped her arms from around his body and turned toward the table as she lowered her head slightly.
"..If we could at least pretend I didn't say that until after we finish dessert, I'd be grateful." Then they could go back to Isra, and she'd pick up the things she'd left at his house tomorrow after the undoubtedly awkward and painful outing with the children.. probably the last time she'd see them.

Thaelyn's words didn't really seem to phase Alden. Indeed, he kept hold of her smiling as she started to panic. She was an odd one his little bubble. He lets her pull away and turns to dessert a little smile on his face. Digging in eagerly into the sweet confection. It is quite good but he only eats half of it. Waiting until Thaelyn is finished before he speaks.
"So now I can stop pretending you didn't say that right?"
He looks at her curiously though he doesn't wait for confirmation before saying matter of factly.
"I love you too."
He lets those words hang in the air for a moment then adds.
"It may even be romantic love. I am not one hundred percent sure. It's a very hard concept to quantify. The difference between the love one feels for a family member and the love one feels for their partner. Still based on what Moon told me I am fairly certain its romantic love."

Thaelyn didn't say a word. She barely appreciated the dessert as she ate it. She could admit that had she not been drowning in misery, she would've loved it. But she was too busy waiting for Alden to let her down and reject her gently. She set the spoon into the dish, then winced when Alden spoke. She looked up at him, about to try and tell him that he could go, she would pick up her things tomorrow afternoon, but before she could speak, he cut her off. And she stared. He.. what? She looked utterly baffled, waffling back and forth between that and disappointed as he explained. So.. he loved her, but he wasn't sure it was romantic love, but he thought it was..? Her heart fluttered in her chest as she processed this, and a hesitant smile began to form on her lips.
"I thought for sure you didn't feel the same way." She breathed the statement in a tone of disbelief edged with hope. Alden loved her back. She was so stunned but tentatively happy that she didn't even know what to say or do now, although she ended up putting her hands over her mouth as she began giggling, trying to silence her mirth while tears filled her eyes. She was such a mess.

"I don't know why you would think that. I didn't take pursuing a relationship with you lightly."
Which was true. It was a hard choice, moving on. When he'd made it he'd wanted to be sure Thaelyn was someone he could see himself with. He didn't need his children to see him cavorting with multiple women. He'd been advised that would be a bad example. He looks at Thaelyn who now looked a wreck. Tears and laughter in equal measure. Evidently, she'd been quite worried about what she'd said. Which was odd to him. What had she thought he'd do. Still it isn't that important really. He pulls her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"I told you I wanted to pursue this. At some point that entails love doesn't it?"

Sniffling as she wiped away her tears, her laughter finally faded, and then she was sliding her arms around his body again. Leaning her head lightly against his, Thaelyn couldn't stop smiling as she listened to Alden speaking. It did seem silly, now that she thought about it. She tried to explain her thought processes as best she could.
"Not necessarily. Plenty of relationships never end up with people falling in love. I guess I just thought that with all you'd been through, I didn't know if you would ever love me.. or could." She turned her head, brushing her lips against his cheek as she murmured wryly.
"Not my most intelligent line of thought, admittedly, but love has a habit of being completely irrational."

Alden absently brushes a strand of hair from her face. Listening to what she had to say with a thoughtful expression. Her fears weren't exactly unfounded. He did struggle with basic emotions sometimes. The more complex ones were even harder. Still he'd told her he was doing his best to be normal. So it is still a little surprising she'd thought he'd reject. There are a few things he could say in response. But after a moment he decides the best response doesn't use words. Instead he draws her into a deep passionate kiss.

Thaelyn tilted her head, leaning into Alden's touch as he moved her hair out of her face. Then she was looking up at him with shining eyes full of love. Those eyes closed when he kissed her, and Thaelyn kissed him back, pouring her emotions into it - all her love, her passion, her desire for him.. not just in a physical way, but wanting to be with him in any way. She was so immersed in the intense melding of lips that she didn't even notice when the waiter returned and silently placed the check on the table, then left with a smile.

It is a long time before Alden breaks the kiss. Forcing himself to stop before his building desire makes him do something inapropriate. He's left gasping as his lips part from hers. Bringing his forehead to rest against her's. His eyes are half lidded and he has a very satisfied look on his face.
"So do you have any other plans for today, my little bubble?"

Thaelyn sighed as the kiss was broken, and looked up at Alden with a silly smile. She was on the verge of answering his question when those last three words reached her ears. 'My little bubble'? That completely derailed all possible attempts to tell him about the resort and the room she'd (sort of) booked as she gave him a puzzled look. She couldn't not ask.
"..'My little bubble'? What?" She also couldn't help but laugh slightly.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
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.

The look of confusion on her face made him laugh. Before answering her question he leans in and takes a kiss. Remembering how Moon had also been confused by the epitaph he explains.
"You are my bubble. Because you are bright and shiny until you pop. Then you have to be blown again."
Alden laughs lightly at his own explanation. He has enough sense to know it's a terrible analogy but it was still how he felt.

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.

Thaelyn didn't object to being kissed again, though she also wouldn't be satisfied until she got an explanation. Which was soon forthcoming. And Alden's reasoning behind the nickname made her blush, before laughing softly. Bright and shiny... She supposed that was a good way to describe her. She was rather easy to pop, but also easy to make bright and shiny again, now that she thought about it.
"That's actually rather sweet. As for what I have planned.. well... I may or may not have reserved a room at the hotel nearby.. if you're interested." The look she gave him was a mixture of teasing, sultry, and hopeful. Glancing toward the check, she took note of the amount on it, and reached into the bag draped over the back of the chair, fishing for her coin purse. They could pay for dinner, maybe head to the hotel, and enjoy their night.. before returning home and to his children in the morning.

A little happy warmth blossoms in his chest to hear she likes his nickname for her. He'd expected her to think it silly. He rolls his eyes as she tries to pay for the expensive meal on her own. Depositing a handful of coin onto the table from his own wallet before she can. She really was too kind for her own good. He made far more than her it didn't make sense for her to pay for everything.
The offer to go to a hotel for the night gets a heated look from Alden. They really couldn't enjoy each other properly as often as he'd like. He had to be home most nights for his children. And given when they liked to wake up it wasn't practical for them to do it at his home. So they had to do it at her apartment or somewhere else private. So of course the offer for a night without worry is met with.
"That sounds absolutely wonderful. Lead the way my bubble."

Gods. Thaelyn loved it when Alden looked at her like that. It sent a shiver all the way from the top of her head to her toes. She inhaled sharply, feeling the familiar curl of desire in her belly, and barely noticed when he put a handful of coins onto the table to help pay for their meal. Then she was standing and taking his hand, pulling him with her to exit the restaurant, and head down the street to the hotel.
"Your bubble is happy to please."
