He saw it coming only too late. The water doused him, and he
yelped. Before he could respond, another splash came, soaking
him further as Asena retreated. Septimus gave her his best
steely look -- which was undercut by the water dripping down his
face from his hair. He reached up to flick the hair aside and
raised an eyebrow at her. "Really, Asena? Is this what we're
doing now, then?"
He lunged, bringing his hands together to spear through the
water towards her. As he came close, he cupped his hands and
flung himself up, sending a spray of water back at her. "You've
miscalculated again, Miss Valda! I'm a lot bigger than you are,
so I can move a lot more water!"
He brought both his hands down, slapping the water and creating
another large wave.

Asena simply grinned at him with this cocky look when he dared
to question if she was serious. Oh, she was completely serious.
The man needed to lighten up and she was not above childish
measures to achieve that. She thought for a moment he might not
participate with the way he looked at her. But she was glad she
was wrong. When he moved in the water closer, she got to her
knees, unable to help the squeak of surprise when water was
flung in her face, effectively causing her vision to be
temporarily blocked. She swiped the water in time to smirk up at
him as he boasted some advantage with his size. She let out a
gasp when the could water drenched her with that wave before she
fully clamored to her feet.
“Bring it on, Lord Vianacelli! You’re also a bigger target.” She
teased as she did her best to splash him back as he was easy to
hit, just not at the volumes he was cooking up. She gave another
laugh when more water came her way, causing her to have to move
away occasionally to keep from taking another splash of the icy
water. “Torgar, why couldn’t I be a Zsiil Magus?” She said as
she sputtered at more water getting in her face. She placed
another well aimed splash at him and even was able to lean out
of the way of the majority of one of his. ”Hah! Missed me!
Getting tired there, Sept?” She taunted, attempting to get
closer to shore to dart away. Of course water weight and
disperse meant didn’t allow for a speedy or graceful escape.

Septimus laughed and lunged after Asena as she tried to escape
to dry land. He wrapped one strong arm around her waist and
hoisted her off her feet. "Don't think you can get away that
easy!" he crowed as he turned and threw her back into the water.
As she splashed down, he chased her, cackling.
Gods, he hadn't had a splash fight like this since he was a kid.
Literally, the last time he'd done this was with his siblings
back at the Plots. He'd made friends since then, but... Well,
Kri, for one, wasn't much for swimming. Let alone being doused
in cold water against her will.
As Asena resurfaced, Septimus was on her. He wrapped both arms
around her this time and attempted to tackle her beneath the
waves once more.

Asena let out a shriek of a laugh in surprise when he got her
around the waist and hoisted her back. “No! Sept, don’t you
dare!” She laughed as she grabbed his arm in attempt to free
herself, obviously just kidding and playing it up. When she
landed in the water, she came back up sputtering since she got a
mouthful of water. However, Septimus was on her soon enough,
taking her back under with a tackle. Silly him, that gave her
the leverage to take him down with her. She wrapped her legs
around his waist and got her arms around him to make sure he
went under with her. He had to surface eventually and she went
with him thankfully because of her tenacity at playing around.
She relinquished her hold on him only enough to tickle his side
to get him to release her and to get another splash in. “Give
up, yet?“ She teased, looking thoroughly soaked, but still with
a cheesy smile plastered on her face. She neither noticed nor
cared about the proximity nor how they were pressed precariously
against each other from their equal holds, as the wet clothing
left little to the imagination.

Septimus came back up, holding Asena around the waist as she
kept her legs wrapped him. Twice. Twice in two days, he had
found himself in a compromising position with Asena. And now...
Well, with the way they were pressed together, her legs around
his hips, there was absolutely no possible way he could deny his
attraction to her.
"Asena," he said, and his voice was rough. "I don't want to
overstep my boundaries, but... If we don't let each other go
right now, I'm going to kiss you. Would that be alright?"
Part of him was desperately wanting her to say yes, and to see
where that led. A much smaller part was wanting her to say no,
to assert that Septimus was overstepping and this was not
appropriate.
But, gods, he wanted to kiss her.

Asena chuckled at her own victory when Septimus didn’t move
against her in retaliation. She was about to teasingly gloat,
when she noted the subtle pressure of him holding her hips and
keeping her against him. That awoke a bit of realization in
Asena when she caught that she was in a very compromising
position. She was currently perched on him, in his hold, with
her legs around him. Asena was pressed very closely against him
and felt that familiar flutter in her stomach and heat rushed to
her face and lower. This was bad...she wasn’t supposed to feel
like this. Not with him, not right now, and not like this. But
him saying her name in that rough tone sent a feeling down her
spine that made her eyes go to his. He talked about boundaries
and yes, they should be worried about those...but a part of her
wasn’t. That part of her caused her heart beat to race and shock
to reach her expression when warned her what would happen if
they didn’t separate. A kiss? Septimus wanted to kiss her?
Asena’s face fell and instantly she tried to evaluate everything
going on. He was asking for permission, which meant it was
here’s to give. That meant she had to make a decision. While a
part of her felt like this was wrong and that she was betraying
Damon’s memory, another part of her was curious and nervous
about the possibility there before her. It was a kiss...not an
engagement or a promise of anything more...She knew she was
attracted to Septimus, clearly by the way she felt now. But was
it right to pull him into her world when she wasn’t even sure if
she could be emotionally there for him. But again...it was a
kiss only...and the curious part of Asena felt little harm could
be done in indulging what they both wanted at that very moment.
Asena didn’t pull away and instead brought her hands up to find
his cheeks. In a slight move, she tilted his face down and
closed the distance between their lips. The peck was hesitant at
first, nervous and unsure, but that flew out the window when she
felt this spark there of warmth that felt like lightning in her
veins. Everything in her wanted to kiss him again, but she
pulled away slightly, her Eyes searching his for an answer to
the echo of the question he had asked her. She wanted him to
kiss her, was that alright?

In response to Asena's unspoken reflection of his question,
Septimus' lips crashed down onto Asena's. His arms pulled her
tighter to him as he gave into the urge he'd harbored for so
long. He was rough, forceful as he kissed her. He paused only
for a moment to say, "Hold on," and then carry her out of the
pond.
Once on land, he kissed her again, his hands moving to her hips
as he held her off the ground with ease.

Asena hadn’t expect quite the impassioned response she got to
the exploratory kiss. But she hardly regretted it or the
enthusiasm the man showed. Just how long had he been thinking
about kissing her? Just now? Yesterday? Before the campaign?
Either way, the tougher kiss surprised her and it took her a
moment to reciprocate it. The feeling of him gripping her
tighter jump started her mind and she kissed him back, drawing
in as much of the attention and feelings as she could handle at
the moment. It was already causing her body temperature to
spike, which she was sure he could feel when they both were
drenched and shivering.
When Septimus pulled away first, she took a breath, steadying
herself as he carried her out of the water by grabbing onto him.
The kiss lit a fire in her, something she hadn’t felt in ages or
since—Damon’s face popped into her head and instantly she felt
the stab of guilt hit her. But it was soon swallowed by her
forcing his face from her mind and chasing the pleasure she was
feeling. She let him guide her along since she wasn’t about to
go anywhere at the moment. She wanted this to last and was keen
on making it last. It made the pain subside and replaced it with
something new and exciting.
He resumed the kiss when they were on dry land. Now that she was
aware and concentrating, she realized she could taste a hint of
jasmine. Before she could really analyze it, the grip returned
to her hips. She had him holding her and it drew a light chuckle
against his lips, making her break the kiss so she could get a
breath. “Sept. You taste like tea.” She said before she wrapped
her arms around his neck to make sure he stayed close to resume.
She deepened the kiss herself, feeling her fingers find his hair
while the others dig into his shoulder blades. Why did she
absolutely love that he tasted like tea? A shiver did pull
through her as a morning breeze licked at her exposed legs and
that’s when she realized she must have look indecent flashing
her undergarments to the staff from where her shirt rode up. She
blushed deeply, bringing a hand up to his chest to push against
it lightly. When the kiss broke, she was still pink in the face
and her eyes watched his lips with some longing. “I’m sorry but
its really chilly and I’m—well—indecent in front of the
um—well—.” She stammered, biting her lip as she tried to word
her reservations while also wanting to shut up and just go back
to what they were doing. But she had to slow this down...right?
That got a bit intense really quickly...right? But why didn’t
she care? She should care...right?

The kisses got more and more intense. Septimus mostly ignored
the breeze on his back as he enjoyed experiencing Asena. The
feel of her body and lips, the taste of her as they kissed -- he
tasted like tea? Strange to think about. -- the sounds she made.
And then she was pushing him away. Softly. He raised his brows
in curiosity, then chuckled. "You're right. We should... Get
dressed? We could both use a proper washing, maybe. Would you
like brunch afterwards? I can have Lorenz tell the staff to
prepare something for us both."
This had progressed quickly. Asena was wise to slow things down,
and Septimus was happy to oblige. He'd kissed her. He had gotten
that feeling out there, and it had been acknowledged and
reciprocated. Now he could be content.
For a while. He was definitely looking forward to kissing her
more later.

Asena was relieved he was also acting with some sense in this
moment. Honestly, Septimus was keeping her responsible at the
moment, if her own guilt wasn’t creeping back up in her mind to
kill the mood. But again, she forced it down with an eased
breath, even if she trembled at how cold she felt. She needed to
go rinse off and get her mind right before this went any
farther. She separated herself from Septimus, moving back to
readjust her shirt and to reach for her pants.
At the offer of brunch, Asena gave him a playful look, mostly
because she was glad he could be so laid back. He wasn’t trying
to push an agenda or a situation. It was nice...to feel like for
once someone wasn’t judging her every move like she felt
everyone around her was lately. “Brunch sounds perfect. Oooh do
you think it would be okay if I asked for an omelet?” She asked
with a bit of uncertainty about having someone make food for her
like this. She wasn’t used to having someone else do things that
she was perfectly capable of doing. Her Aunt Mariam had always
wanted Asena to settle down with a nice man eventually and be
able to help in maintaining the household. It was a bit strange
to not work with something that was so ingrained into her at
this point. “But Anyways. Food later, bath first and warm
clothes. I’m freezing.” She said as she shimmied on her pants
and glanced at Septimus. She felt her heart flutter a moment and
she felt that same heat rushing through her. But she pushed it
back and held it in place to be sure she didn’t act
irrationally. “Come on, you’ve got to be cold too.” She told him
as she sidled up to his side and practically pulled him along
towards the door. However, when they got there, she released the
hand she had taken and gave him a considering look for a moment.
A thought passed her mind, but she squashed it quickly despite
the blush that rose to her cheeks. “See you at brunch?” She said
before simply turning on her heels to go get cleaned up and
ignore the consequences of her actions till later.
