[ OPEN ] One time love, take care how you use it

[ombranera]

WHO: Zevran Arainai, Isabela, their audience
WHAT: Zevran and Company heat up a cold night with some steamy songs from up North.
WHEN: Current
WHERE: Tavern
NOTES: Bawdy songs, salacious dancing, coin being tossed- adult language and content.

It was cold, they were bored and a little tipsy, and Zevran had run through as many stories of the fifth blight that he could stand for the night, Isabela had run through as many suckers as she could get in her game of cards as would be lured in by her laugh and her bosom. Comfortably buzzed and not wishing to become maudlin Zevran began to pick out the notes to a rather saucy Antivan song- one he recited recently for Alistair. By the time he'd gone through the first verse with just the Lute Isabela was chortling. "You wouldn't actually-"

"Oh, mia Bella, I would. I truly would." Never one to step down from such a challenge, his plucking went from idle to strong with purpose, which only had Isabela throwing her head back and cackling.

Giggling, in her own way, warm and rich and turning a few heads. The atmosphere wasn't dire or dour but it could use a little spice. A little heat. Whether it was the sudden sharp strum that brought him back to the beginning or Isabela elbowing him in the ribs to actually start singing that got more heads, he couldn't say. by the time he hit the refrain and had nudged her enough to get her standing on the table, writhing along with the music? They certainly had the attention of most if not all of the tavern. When he hit the second call and response- half the women in attendance replied, egged on by Isabela on the table still- leaping onto another in time with the music.

As he had quite a few such pieces in his repertoire, they had all night to fill with song and dance and bawdy intent.

[ ooc: tag around and have a party, everyone's game! ]

"Oh, did you want to see it? It's sure to liven the place up," she purred. "Give me your next song and I'll show you."

[ombranera]

"I did indeed." As requested he swept into the next song, something with a good tempo and high energy. "Show us all what you were bragging about, Bela!"

[easternseaqueen]

Isabela wasted no time, jumping onto the tabletop, her feet quick, her hips rolling, and more than a little bounce to her movements as she demonstrated the new dance--a lively, sultry thing that left little doubt to its Rivaini origins. Good thing the Chantry wasn't there, or she might have given a few sisters a need for the vapors.

[ombranera]

After an extended moment's observation Zevran handed off his lute to someone else to hop up next to her, replicating the motion. Well, there were a few false starts but he managed to get the gist of it soon enough. "This is Marvelous- wait how do you do that last bit?"

[easternseaqueen]

"Put some hip into it, Zev," she said, playfully swatting him on the rump. "It's sort of like... Making love to the music. Or at least a good solid roll between the sheets."

[ombranera]

"I am putting hip into it, I simply have less hip than you TO put into it!" He crackled with laughter, but did as he was instructed. "It feels odd to be doing this without another body involved."

[easternseaqueen]

"Are you saying my ass has gotten fat?" Far more teasing than indignant, and she bumps her hip right into his.

"So use mine. Not like you haven't before."

[ombranera]

"I am saying your hips are meant for dancing, mine are meant for dueling." He is but a man, after all, and they can only have so much by way of hips. But at her invitation he spins to settle against her, painted along her back, hands on her hips, rolling with the motion.

[easternseaqueen]

"Zev, mine are just as good for dueling as yours. Better even."

She made a pleased hum as he came up behind her.
"There we go. Just follow my lead," she said, her movements smooth, and probably bordering on the obscene.

[ombranera]

"Mmmm, I should think so." Following is easily done- he rolls with each undulation and the catcalls increase in pitch- as does the flow of coins upon the table below them. Were he not so focused on learning the motion things would truly become a bit obscene.

[easternseaqueen]

She laughed.
"There, now you've got it. Just like gold," she purred. "A little faster now."

[ombranera]

"Any faster and we'll be less dancing and more making love, Bela." Not that he minded in the slightest.

[easternseaqueen]

"That's rather the point, in case you hadn't noticed, Zev." Oh, but she's laughing the entire time.
