Own the Night | Accalia

[Accalia Phillips]

He started to stroke her cheekbone with his thumb and she grinned, leaning slightly toward his touch. She chuckled, too, glad to get some of that energy out. "Maybe we should adjourn this to some safer ground like... on the ground," she suggested. A part of her was afraid, though, that if they stopped they'd both wake up and realize what they were doing and come to their senses. So, instead of following through with that idea she began kissing him again, this time, however, she finally removed her hand from his shirt in order to latch onto his hair instead.

[Charlie Webster]

She had a beautiful smile. Something that would burn in his mind forever, but things seemed perfect for that moment. Almost a little too perfect like something horrible was going to go wrong, but it didn't let it bother him too much. However, she suggested that they move down to the ground. The ground was definitely safer. They have less severe injuries if they fell while on the ground instead of in a tree. "Yeah... let's do that," he said while he was a little too reluctant to let her go so they could go down. However, she must've felt the same reluctance as well because it wasn't long before hers lips found his and her hand moved from his shirt to his hair. He groaned against her lips slightly as he kissed her back and held onto her close. Maybe being up in the tree wasn't completely horrible. At least they'd be safe from the monsters for now.

[Accalia Phillips]

He started to agree with her before she started kissing again then she had a great idea. She smirked against his lips, continuing to kiss him as she willed the tree to start warping around them. "Don't freak out," she muttered against his lips as the smaller branches wrapped around their ankles to anchor them and the larger ones curved around them to make a more comfortable, less likely to fall out seat. The problem was, she hadn't done anything like that in a really long time and so after a moment she got dizzy and had to stop kissing him again.

[Charlie Webster]

Don't freak out? Charlie didn't know what there was to freak out about. He was only kissing Accalia, but then he felt it. He felt the tendrils wrap around his ankles. However, they weren't monster or anything vicious. They felt like branches just making sure they wouldn't fall out of place. Accalia was making sure they were comfortable up here for a quite a while and Charlie couldn't help but smile against her lips slightly. That was until she pulled away. He opened his eyes to look at her and noticed that something was off. "Hey," he said as he moved his hand to push some of her hair out of her face. "You doing okay? You don't look so good."

[Accalia Phillips]

That was sweet of him, to ask if she was okay. She looked into his face and shook her head, moving her hand from his hair to his shoulder. "Yeah, no, I'm okay. Just a little dizzy. Haven't used my ability that much in a while," she admitted. She admitted softly at him, "just needed to breathe for a second," she says softly, her other hand finding his other shoulder. She chuckled, embarrassed. "Guess I need to practice more. I'll be fine, though. Don't worry," she promised, biting her lip softly and nodded to reassur him.

[Charlie Webster]

Charlie looked at Accalia all concerned as he knitted his eyebrows together slightly. He hoped that she was okay and nothing serious had happened. He wondered how he was going to get her down from here if she needed medical attention. He wasn't the strongest but hopefully he would be able to carry her on his back or something. But she shook her head and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "That's good," he said as he nodded his head slightly. "I mean... not the dizzy part, but it's not worse. Yeah... breathing might help... also laying down might help or at least I've heard it helps." He chuckled nervously as he stroke her hair a bit. "But those are pretty impressive powers that you have there."

[Accalia Phillips]

He seemed to be getting more comfortable with the idea of making physical contact as the night went on, which was good. She chuckled as he tried to get the words out. "Thanks," she muttered when he said that her powers were impressive. "I used to use them a lot but... I kind of stopped " she frowned. Jacob left, then Harper left... But what is there to be sad about now? What, aside from the imminent danger of being a Demi God, did she have to be so bitter about?

She bit her lip. "Being with you helps too, I think. Being around you," she hadn't spent much time with him but the time that she did was the best part of the just few days. She was afraid she'd ruined the moment though, and she but her lip nervously for a moment before going on. "I'm glad you kissed me. Unless... Is that how you use your powers?" she joked, smirking.

[Charlie Webster]

Charlie knitted his eyebrows together when Accalia mentioned her powers. She was so good at them, but why did she stop? Why would any demigod stop using their powers? But that seemed like something that he shouldn't pry into at the moment. It was their first not-date anyway and he didn't want things to turn out horribly because of him. He gave her an encouraging smile as he pushed back her hair again.

"That's good," he said as a slight blush crept up onto his cheeks. He didn't know how he felt about being a reason she was feeling better, but at least she was feeling better. And she had to be feeling better with that joke of hers. Charlie laughed as he shook his head. "Nah, as far as I know, we don't have kissing powers and I know for certain that I don't have those charmspeak powers like some of my siblings. But I could do magic makeup on you."

[Accalia Phillips]

He seemed concerned about her short explanation as to not using her powers recently. He didn't comment though, instead giving her a smile and pushing her hair back. Really, that was the best thing he could do in that moment. The fact that he wasn't asking her about it was incredibly nice, and she felt a tug in her stomach. Almost as if she was going to cry, but she didn't. If this was a few months ago she may even have done just that.

She made him blush again with her words, but she didn't mind. She was glad that he didn't have any magic kissing powers or anything. She dropped her jaw, "magic make up?" she giggled. "I want to see that," she challenged.

[Charlie Webster]

Charlie couldn't help but be a little bit concerned for Accalia. Something serious had to happen to her if she wasn't going to use her powers and he swore for a moment that she was going to cry. But she didn't and Charlie was partly relieved. He didn't know what he would've done if she broke down crying.

But he didn't have to worry about it too long as his powers were brought up. His face really heated up at the mention of his magic makeup. “I don't use it as much as my siblings,” he explained before he raised his eyebrows. “But do you want me to do it on you or me?”

[Accalia Phillips]

He really was going to show it to her! She chuckled, moving one of her hands to take one of his. "Well.... I think it would be cool to see it on me but I don't have a mirror! So, I guess it's you by default?" she said with a wicked grin, biting her lip with excitement. It was a pretty weird power to have but it also sounded kind of awesome! Plus, the fact that he was offering up himself as the canvas just made it all the better. He was adorable, and he was just getting better by the second.

[Charlie Webster]

She did have a point. There was no use using his powers on her when she couldn't see the end result. Besides, he didn't want to mess up and make her look like a drag queen or whatever. At least on him, no feelings would be hurt just maybe his ego. He nodded his head in agreement as he closed his eyes and concentrated. He scrunched up his face as he thought about what he wanted to look like. His face glowed for a moment as his powers took hold. His skin became flawless, his eyebrows filled in, his face contoured. He tried to keep it on the natural side, since he didn't know what good on him or not. He just used it to cover up an occasional pimple. But after a few moments, the glow went away and Charlie opened his eyes as he looked at Accalia, trying to keep the blush off of his face.

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia waited with a grin as he closed his eyes and scrunched his face in concentration. She couldn't help but giggle a bit as the glow came. Then the giggle left her as her jaw dropped slightly. He opened his eyes and she probably looked like a gaping fish. "Holy crap, that's incredible," she said slowly, reaching her hand out to run her thumb across his suddenly more prominent cheek bones. "You still look like yourself though just... well, it's a bit unnatural," she admitted. She removed her hand from his face and shuddered, "okay, okay. Do it on me just for fun."

[Charlie Webster]

Her mouth was open. Oh gods... he had to look horrible. He just had to. He was probably some clown looking thing right there and then. There was a reason he didn't use his powers except for the occasional pimple or blemish. And here he was in clown makeup. He didn't have to worry long though before Accalia actually said something to him. He looked incredible? He let out a breath that he didn't realize that he'd been holding before he smiled slightly at her. "Yeah... I heart the magic kind of makes it a bit unnatural, but it's probably weird on me because I don't use it a lot like my siblings." Plus a guy wearing makeup was a weird idea in his mind either way. But he raised his eyebrows when she said she wanted it done. "Oh... okay," he said as he slowly nodded his head as he closed his eyes and focused on using his powers on Accalia. Hopefully he wouldn't butcher it. He didn't think he could afford to mess up her makeup tonight."

[Accalia Phillips]

Accalia giggled as he let out that breath and spoke about how the magic was indeed a bit unnatural, and how it was weird on him. She nodded, "I guess I am used to seeing your siblings so 'perfect' looking," she did quote marks with her fingers and shook her head. "Natural suits you better, though. I like that you."

She found herself closing her eyes too as he did to focus on her make up. She felt a slight warmth on her face, like someone was shining a lamp on it, but otherwise nothing. She opened her eyes after a moment. "... So...?" she asked him, trying to gauge his reaction.
