Zach leaves his body with a sigh and lets the world shift. He looks around to see where Harriet is this time... And Harriet dreams... Of a forest and a mountain stream (somewhere between a stream and a river if truth be told) and a really big rock, submerged in the eddies of the water. The entire scene is peaceful and warm, there's a glow in the air. The artist herself is dressed in a tanktop and faded jeans. She has longer hair, pulled back in a ponytail, and she's standing in the water next to the big rock, soaked up to her breasts. In her hand she has a paintbrush...with the logic of dreams, it changes colors as she wills. She's painting the rock and looking very happy about it. Zach A malakite, a shadowy, dark angel with burning green eyes and big, black wings. He is dressed in what he last wore in Heaven: City camo trousers and an armless, black t-shirt. Up his arms snake the Oath-chains, tightly wrapped and shining with an inner glow. Zach's face spreads into a wide, loving grin and he walks out between a couple of trees. He spreads his wings, and flies up and toward the rock, planning to land on top of it. The rock does not object to being landed on, and luckily, Harriet hasn't painted enough of it yet to make finding a clean landing space difficult. From above, Zach might notice that there are fish in the water. Kind of. They have butterfly wings. Harriet looks up from her work as she hears the sound of flapping wings, and her eyes widen as she sees the Malakite. Her brush stops its busy work, and she smiles in warm greetings. "Hello, my love." Zach settles down on the rock with some flapping of wings and can't resist a pose. He spreads them wide, showing off all the glistening feathers, which shine in hues of dark purple and marine. "Hi there, baby. How's the painitng going?" Harriet grins. "It's pretty!" she declares with satisfaction. It's also bizarre; a chaotic burst of colors and archaic symbols that wind their way around the rock and under the water. Now that Zach's here, though, she scrambles up the rock, still clutching her brush. "You're pretty too, you know?" "And in this I am certainly not alone, my lady love." Zach makes way for Harriet and reaches out with a wing to give her a little cuddle and steady her. His feathers are endlessly soft and fragrant. He strokes her cheek and leans in to sneak a kiss. "I thought i'd just check to see that you were doing fine up here..." Harriet sighs happily and kisses Zach back, before turning to bury her face in his wing, stroking the feathers in a way that would have Brynn going all smitey. "I'm doing well, you know? It's beautiful here. Reminds me of home. Well, where I grew up." She rubs her cheek on a feather and inhales its scent with another sigh. Zach curls his wing a little, so that Harriet gets completely wrapped in it. "Mmmm...wingcuddles. This is good," he purrs happily. "So your childhood home was in an area like this?" He looks around. "Yeah, it does look a lot like Appalachian country." Harriet giggles as she's enwrapped in lovely, soft feathers, and snuggles up against it as she nods. "Lovely wings...and yeah, this is like a place I used to go to sketch, you know? It was nice. I got a lot of sunburns." She smiles at the memories, and her brush sneaks out, starting to paint a feather a bright, shining gold. Zach giggles as a feather gest tickled with paintbrush. "Oooh! Are you gilding my feathers?" he asks delightely. Harriet smiles widely, and starts on another feather. "Could be, could be. Of course, your feathers are beautiful just the way they are, you know? But I can't resist..." this one is silver, a striking contrast against the vibrant black. And is Harriet /deliberately/ tickling him with that brush? She might be... "Mmmmhoney? Are you aware of how sensitive angels wings are to caresses?" he asks teasingly, and kisses her cheek. "And I think it's cool with some featherpaint. I like it." Zach says, "Creation's Malakites are strange that way..." Harriet reaches out and very deliberately tickles a feather. She turns to regard him with wide, utterly innocent eyes. "Are they really, you know?" she asks, and tickles again. And tilts her head up to kiss him thoroughly. Harriet hee! Zach's wing twiches, and wraps itself tighter around Harriet. "You're being naughty, young lady!" he tells her in a mock-strict voice. His other wing comes around too, causeing Harriet to become completely enwrapped in black wings and black arms. The kiss reaches momentuous thoroughness. Harriet giggles delightedly, while still trying to kiss her Angel. This results in a certain silliness, even as she wiggles to get closer to him. The brush is merrily swiping bright green, blue, and gold paint over anything it touches, like some sort of hyper mood ring. You say, "Hey, careful! You're gonna run out of paint!" Harriet makes a swipe at the Malakite's nose with the brush. "Unlikely, my beloved. And if I do, well..." she grins cheerfully, "at least I got the best possible use out of it while I had it, you know?" Zach gets his pose painted! Yeeks! His eyes cross to see what kind of indignity is being done to his sniffer. "Ey! That my nose you're painting! It better be good tasting, because you're gonna have to lick that off again!" he laughs. Zach's nose now has a bright, strawberry red streak on it, and Harriet laughs. "You look marvelous, dahling," she assures him in an affected drawl. "Simply marvelous, you know?" To prove it, she bends close and kisses him on that cute little nose. Zach lifts Harriet up, so she can reach it easier. And sneaks a kiss on her chin at the same time. "Wanna go for a flight?" Harriet nods, eagerly, and throws her arms around Zach's neck. "I'd love to, you know?" Zach makes sure Harriet it comfortable, and then takes her out for a sweeping flight across "The Appalacians" and beyond. The eventually alight on a mountain top, where you can see all th way to the end of the world. The sunset it gorgeous, and the lovers have amble dreamtime to enjoy it... Zach hugs! Thank you for the RP! It was mmmgreat! :) Harriet hugs! Thank /you/! It was absolutely lovely. :) Harriet has disconnected.
