she would be able to spot the red blooming on his ears. "Very good," he says and clears his throat, then focuses on the knife they both threw.

"I think I can squeeze is a bit of training for you in my schedule." He nods with a small smile.
"I'm starving, you? Show me your favorite place to eat."

He liked the way their bodies moved in tandem with each other, Lilya let him take control of her for a short while. It might seem silly or nonessential but she trusted him to guide her through the motions.
That is the core to intimacy.

Ruven is fortunate to stand behind her or

It was so tempting to lean in more, rest his cheek against her soft hair and feel it tickle his skin. But one of them needs to keep it in check or this could get out of hand faster than he was able to rein it in. He swallows and remembers to breathe as well, following his own advice to her.

"Yes ma'am, lunch it is then." Though he would not let her pay for any of it, who does she think he is? Lilya's company would be enough as payment.

He chuckles, her laughter is contagious. "If you ask me he's beaming with joy."

the sarcasm heavy in his voice.

Ruven watched with amusement as she invited him to lunch, cocking his brow — she looked almost surprised by her own words.

Adorable.

"Don't worry, I don't need praise to keep killing them. But I'll still take yours." He caught her looking and Ruven's tone lowers as he drags out the last few words, almost purring by the end.
"Ah yes the corrupt rich people in power taking advantage of the ones beneath them. Classic." He says,

Sure why not, let's see if your aim is any good Dellamorte.

"Good throw, want to have another go?" He asks, handing her another knife then gets behind her. "Where would you like to aim, I'll help guide your hand. May I?" Ruven waits for Lilya to answer and takes her wrist in his hand.
"Don't forget to breathe." His deep voice sinks well into her bones.

He chuckles and hums quietly, "I was on my way to grab some lunch and found some stragglers, then forgot about food entirely it seems."
Violet has never been one of his favorite colors but now it might be, after looking into her vibrant eyes.

Hmm, I need to fix that now before she notice. She will be angry at me..
*holds jaw*

I will make up for all that time not spent saying I love you to her
September 30, 2026 at 4:04 PM
My secret is..its because I love her 🖤
But don't tell her that yet.

otherwise."

Ruven chuckled and seemed pleased with her answer. "You can gladly take if it means I get to be the fun one for once."

"Ah, I go visit the cats too sometimes, I think the old grumpy lady one is warming up to me."

He is unfazed by her gaze, there were so many sharp lethal eyes when it came to the Crow's they all got more dull as time went on. Though he took note of her interest with arts and books.
"You don't miss much, most of the wine actually tastes the same despite how much my Talon tries to convince me
September 30, 2026 at 11:32 AM
It is possible to get her in a good mood in the morning but one has to earn it 🖤
September 30, 2026 at 10:15 AM
"But yes please, you are far braver than me." Ruven gestures for them to continue.
September 30, 2026 at 10:12 AM
"Extremely timid and delicate oh yes," Ruven says sarcastically and nods.

He smirks as the stranger approaches the clearly dead body Ruven so perfectly set up for himself. "They can deceive you, dead Venatori are still more clever than the living ones," he jokes.
September 30, 2026 at 10:12 AM
"Maybe something to cool you off hmm?" Ruven dragged his finger up behind Julien's ear and flipped the tip, giving him a teasing smirk. He then nodded towards Julien to follow him.

dining hall, the two Talon's stayed a while longer before moving to Lorenzo's study.

"Mmh sure I can spare some of my precious time, but I'll need a late night snack or I will not be pleasant company." He put the brush away and got up in Julien's space.
September 30, 2026 at 10:11 AM
Ruven looked past Julien's shoulder to the open door, laughter traveled through corridors. Lorenzo and Julien's uncle were getting along well, which made sense seeing as they had been doing business together for some time now. After Ruven and Julien had finished their evening meal and left the

He shrugged. "Bribing is not beneath me, I will buy my innocence. What if there is a cat uprising one day, I need to have good standing with the murder mittens just in case."

"That's not the reason, though I'm certainly not as good of a host as my Talon but I will give it a try."
September 30, 2026 at 10:11 AM
He looks over to her with a lazy smirk, "I like how creative you get. Yes, let's trade fucks."
September 27, 2026 at 11:28 PM
"Mine said the same thing but used more words," he sighs and sit down beside her on the sofa with an arm conveniently placed behind her.

tingling sparks still lingering on his skin.
"Throwing knives aren't that much different, just keep both eyes open and let's see how you do."
September 27, 2026 at 6:50 AM
He finds he quite enjoys her eyes on himself and Ruven lets her take a knife out of his hand. "Of course," he says with a pleased smile and darkening eyes. "But lets go to a less...mangled one." Ruven nods to a body a few steps away and walk over with her, the hand she touched clench from the
September 27, 2026 at 6:50 AM
Ruven glance over in the direction of the new voice before throwing another one.
"Ah but you see he twitched and my hand slipped from being so frightened," he says and doesn't even hide the poor attempt at acting startled.
