Whalen scoffed at that. "That would be far too selfless for my tastes. Besides, I ended up just as wet as you."
"Not bad? Sounds like what every eligible bachelor dreams of," he replied sarcastically, though seemed amused at her last statement. "I would pity any strapping knight you could not say that of, or at least wonder if they're a little light in the codpiece."

"From what I have seen, there is nothing wrong with your codpiece", her response was a flirtatious attempt. "But tell me this, for I am very curious. What could your wife do to keep your eyes only on her and not wander all over Westeros?"

"A little tight perhaps," he quipped, mirroring her attempt. "Honored as I am to have piqued your curiosity, I've no answer for you. Mayhaps you can ask your cousin if she is successful in taming Lucamore."

Aelison shakes her head"No, I am the kind who would rather find out things for themselves.."
Still staring at him,"All men a different. What works for her may not with for me."

"Are they?" he asked, genuinely curious at her statement. "If war taught me anything, it is that all men are the same. Some are just a bit quicker."

"Alright, maybe in that arena, yes they are.", she shrugged,"but in the privacy of a bedchamber, things are much different...", she grinned,"Some men may like women to take control.... Or, they may prefer things done to them or so I've heard. How they choose to reach their peak, I guess is up to them."

"So you've heard?" he asked pointedly with a raised eyebrow, a sly smile curling his lips. "You are certainly bolder than most women I have spoken to. Hell, if you and Violet did not share a surname, I would not guess in a century that you were related."
"I prefer a woman who can keep up."

She splashed the water a little, looking at the ripples,"We are kin, yes, but I have not conformed to the.... " Aelison searched for the right words,"ladylike qualities yet."
"I have already been scolded by my Lord cousin's wife for my.... Attitude for boldness. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

"Not in the slightest," Whalen asserted, quick to cut off her apology. "In fact, most of the women I came to know during the war had tongues much like yours. The contrast between the woman I have come to know during peace has been jarring to say the least. I assure, I do not offend easily."

"Glad to know", she smiled, then asked as she pulled her hair back from her shoulders,"Ser Bracken, we are alone here... Why have you not... Been forward yet? I would say I was looking forward to how you played in your flirtation."
"I am not disappointed, I just didn't imagine you engaging in such a long conversation with someone who had piqued your curiosity,"she grinned mischievously.

"Well, we are both naked as our nameday in a bath," he replied, matter of factly. "So we skipped quite a few stages in the courtship process. It seemed prudent to backtrack a bit to the conversation portion rather than simply blindly push forward." He chuckled a bit to himself, though began moving forward in the water towards her side of the great stone tub. "Why haven't you?"

Watching as he moved towards her with a small smile,"I don't know.... I guess I didn't want you to think less of me since I'm not really a Lady."
As he got closer", What would people think if they caught us", she asked. "The prize of the tourney naked and with See Bracken."

"Of course you are a lady, just not a proper one," he said, as he reached her, placing a hand on the lip of the tub on either side of her. "Lucky for you, improper ladies are more to my taste. As I said, I value a woman who can keep up."
"Considering 'they' already seem to gossip about us individually either way, I say why pay what 'they' say any mind?" he inquired, devil may care attitude apparent. "Either way, when I win the joust, I suppose they'll just say I was enjoying my spoils a bit early."

"Really...."Aelison smiled, closing the already small distance between them as she pressed close to him. "It wouldn't be such a shame, I guess. Even if you lose, you still may have more than most here."

"There are certainly worse consolation prizes I could thing of," he said, kissing her hot on the mouth as his body surged forward to press her against the edge of the tub. "I would hate to go home empty handed."
