Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"I... Im sorry..." Shrike stammered, apologetic.
"I probably should have thought that through, my bad."

"You don't think a lot of things through." Her lip quivered and she sat down. "I can't believe I keep falling for you and your crap." She put her head in her hands.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"Well, I dont know what to say," Shrike muttered,
"Im sorry, I cant help it. Ive never really had to... well... CARE before. I dont really know how to act when Im actually IN a relationship-esque kinda thing."

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"Here's a hint you don't talk about every girl you've been with in the middle of a moment." Gwen lifted her head from her hands "You don't treat me like a disposable object. I'm a person I have feelings." She frowned at Shrike "I'm sorry I want this to go somewhere. If you don't see us being anyything more please leave." there was a hint of tears welling in her eyes "I don't want to go through this torture anymore."

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
Shrike nodded solemly,
"While I cant promise that I will definitely fall hopelessly in love with you, I can promise to treat you with the respect you deserve and promise to not talk about other girls in front of you."

"I didn't ask you to fall hopelessly in love with me." Gwen paused "Pinky promise?" She just wanted to at least try with Shrike after all her terrible past relationships.

Shrike grinned and reached out his pinkie, taking Gwen's in his.
"Cross my heart, hope to cry. Stick a cupcake in my eye."

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
That made Gwen smile "What did the poor cupcake do?" and just like that she was back to her normal cheerful self. "Shrike I'm willing to give this a try. I'll show you what a real relationship is like. If you like it you can ask me out and if you don't you can leave no hard feelings." Gwen was being completely honest with Shrike and more than generous considering his behavior. "I know you're not really what you seem. Behind your childish behavior there is a sweet guy with a great sense of humor and I'm gunna bring his out of the shadows." Gwen was great at helping people and she was determined to help Shrike whether they ended up together or not.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
Shrike nodded happily, visibly agreeing to her proposal. He decided in his mind to show Gwen his thanks.
"Here, look at this," Shrike spoke, nodding to his golden ring, "See this? This is my soul ring, my power ring. While I control this I get my unnatural speed, agility and aerokinetic powers, but while I dont, Im left vulnerable and with no energy or will to fight." He looked Gwen in the eyes.
"This is me showing you how much Im going to commit to this idea, Im showing you my weak spot and trusting you to use the information wisely."

"I won't tell anyone Shrike I'm not like that. I appreciate you trusting me with your secret." Gwen was curious if Shrike was like a mortal without it but she didn't ask. "Can we sit and talk? We've known eachother for awhile but I barely know you." She cared about Shrike and wanted to know more about him.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
OOC: Its worse, he basically loses all but the most vital energy in his body, rendering him completely immobile and prone.
Shrike nodded and prepared himself for the questions.
"Sure, ask away. Although you will allow me to keep a few of my more personal secrets."

"I'm not going to ask you can tell me what you want to than ask me questions. You already divulged something something very personal." Gwen didn't want to pry since Shrike seemed like a private person.

"Funny you think i'd be the one to ask inappropriate questions..." she cleared her throat "Umm where are you from? What was your childhood like?" That should get the conversation going.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"Ooh tough questions," Shrike grinned, scratching his chin for answers.
"Well, to answer both questions in one go, I was born into a life of exploration with my mum. We'd travel all over the world, visiting strange cultures and exploring the wonders of the world. Thats why my accent is so weird, I never stayed in one place too long to adopt a single accent. My mum was brilliant, but was occasionally neglecting, deciding that I would be best figuring out my own problems without her help. Otherwise though, it was great fun!"

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"Wow that's amazing!" Gwen's full attention was fixed on Shrike "I grew up on an island off the coast of Maine with my mom. It was a really close knit community. Our house is really just a cottage in the middle of a meadow. My mom one of the sweetest people alive. She has always been there for me through all my tough times cheering me up, she attended all my events, and she actually was a big help in learning to control my powers." Gwen smiled a bit homesick.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"It sounds really sweet and nice," Shrike mused, smiling wistfully,
"Personally, I could never take staying in the same place for too long. I feel all cramped and I'd get bored." He stood up and began to walk around the room slowly.
"And with the power thing, most of my control over my powers is just instinct. Ive never really thought about practising my control over it..."

"Don't get me wrong I love travel and I want to see the world. That was just how I spent my childhood, I've traveled since the." Gwen watched as Shrike paced around her room "You never thought to learn control of you powers?" she was a bit baffled by that.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
"No, not really," Shrike admitted, continuing to pace,
"I usually learn things just through trial and error, and so far its gotten me through all Ive needed to get through. Although with these demons, I may need to start doing some real training..."

"I can help you if you like. I've been training my whole life. I'm an award wining gymnast, runner, and kick boxer." Gwen was more than willing to help Shrike train, and learn some discipline along the way.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
Shrike smirked,
"The pure physical elements I have handled well enough, its mostly the aerokinesis I have some trouble with. I usually use it to give me an edge in my speed and agility, and I have no problem with that, as thats the part that NEEDS instinct, but when it comes to plain and simple aeroblasts and hard air constructs I feel myself lacking. The best I can really do with my power as it stands is to create the blade of my sword from sharp wind (as the sword itself is only the hilt, its the actual metal thats made of wind), but thats only really a metre long. I was thinking of making so that, by swiping the sword, I could release the held air and send it flying at an opponent and then regenerating the sword blade. Do you know what could help with that?"

"Well that just takes practice I could do that if I fought with a sword but it slows me down. I could show you how to." Gwen smiled with glee at the exciting task. "Oh! I know someone you can spar with once you learn how to do that too."

"My friend Roxy she has a fire sword. She's a bit of a pyro." Gwen laughed remembering the time she and Roxy almost lit the forest on fire.

Re: Gwen's Bunk (Aeolus)
Shrike snorted.
"Pah, a fire sword?" he huffed, "So cliche. I could take it easily." He chuckled and ran his way up the wall and ceiling, coming to rest hanging on the ceiling fan, holding on with one hand and hanging his head down, so that his face was facing Gwen's, albeit upside down.
"Although it does sound like a fun challenge, maybe I WILL have a crack at it."
