Tannr watches from a spot in the shadows near the back door. He nodded at Keon in greeting and pauses to watch Ike place the headband on Toris red spikes. He smiles when her hand reaches to feel the small jeweled snake around her neck.
Tori turns when she hears Tannr approach and he gives a soft whistle.
Startled, she bites back the smart remark she was going to make about the dress when she sees the look in his eyes.
“By all the gods... you are a vision... beautiful....” He pulls her close and tips her chin up. “The dress suits you..”
Tori swallows hard, “It doesnt remind you... of someone else?”
Tannr smiles and shakes his head, one hand lingering along her neck. “No. It reminds me of how gorgeous you are. Although seeing everyone dress this way makes me a little homesick. Raina looks so much like her mother its spooky.” He lowers his head and whispers, “And later I will show you just how beautiful you are to me...”
Wrapping their arms around each other while the music plays on the jukebox they start to sway slowly, Tannr pulling her close, letting her know he wanted her and there was no one else on his mind, dress or not.
Keon and Ike watch from the bar. A slow grin twists Keon's lips. "Tis a softer side yer sister shows to Tannr."
Ike smiles sadly. "She was a lot more like that when we were kids. Now..." Ike grins as she watches the couple. "Viper fits her well."
