Cameron Centurion
The First Son
No. The inflection of warning in [member="Naedira Darcrath"]'s voice certainly hadn't mattered in the slightest.
Even as the much smaller woman settled herself into his lap, the smirk that had adorned the Viceroy's lips remained. While she was busy making herself comfortable, Aiden's thoughts were not on anyone else in the chamber apart from them. In keeping with that, the Sith Lord spent a fair amount of initial focus keeping his very body from responding to the desire that surged through his body constantly when he was around Nae.
Then. Naedira settled her body firmly within the nook provided by his much larger body. As she leaned her head back to whisper into his ear, the hand that was intertwined with her own squeezed lightly and involuntarily. The Viceroy's free hand snaked around the woman's armored waist as he turned his head just in time for long strands of hair to fall away. The hair of his long bear tickled the side of her face lightly as his lips rested just against the lobe of her ear.
Before Aiden said anything, he allowed the smell of her freshly washed hair to waft through his nostrils and gave the bit of flesh a gentle nip. When he finally did reply in both basic and into the Knight's mind, Aiden's presence expanded just enough to infuse her body, interacting with her own presence in all the ways that their physical bodies could not...for now.
"Don't start something you can't finish...my love."
Don't start something you can't finish...my love.
Aiden almost missed the entire start of [member="Darth Metus"]' oration due to the Viceroy's ears actually hearing the use of a certain l-word. Yes. It could have been used in a casual sense as many in the galaxy were prone to do. Yet if one thing was certain, it was the fact that Aiden...was not many people.
The Vicelord's call for support and united strength provided a convenient, momentary distraction. With seemingly zero effort, Aiden lifted Naedira out of his lap and allowed her to stand on her own feet. Half a second later, the large Sith stood beside her before stepping up to the console in his booth that would enable him to address the masses.
Following a soft key-stroke to activate the system, Aiden's bright gaze held only the Vicelord's gaze for the length of time it took for the Viceroy to address the man that he knew was technically a distant Uncle. The information had been relayed to Aiden by his younger half-brother Caid. Caid on the other hand was much, much closer to their adopted relations...given Caid's mother was one of Petra's many children. Similar to their half-sister Gemma - whom was born of Cameron and an entirely different daughter of Petra. Her first daughter.
"Stewjon will answer this call to arms." A brief pause. "I will stand beside you on the field of battle."
That was it. Simple. Aiden had heard the call to war, and the shockingly blank expression that adorned Aiden's lips conveyed several things. The thought of martial contest was neither exciting nor disconcerting to the Sith Lord. Conflict and battle were ways of life. The Warrior was content to engage in that which he had been created and trained to do for...centuries.
Taking a step back, Aiden returned to his seat, silver-green gaze turned to Naedira. In no time flat, the smirk returned as the Viceroy extended the alluring woman his hand once more. There would be no further disturbance to the comfort of her seat until the conclusion of the assembly.
