Finding |Piper|

[piper]

Piper walked noiselessly over to one of the walls where the runes were slightly clearer- less faded by the effects of time. With a forefinger she lightly traced one of the squiggling lines, pulling an expression of the utmost concentration. She didn't even recognize half of the symbols, and that was more frustrating than she could say. Piper considered herself something of a genius- she'd been near the top of her class, and she'd been the absolute top in Ancient Runes. Though she could tell they weren't going to translate into English, perhaps Latin, or maybe even another ancient language entirely. It wasn't uncommon for older things to translate to Elvish either, and that would be a whole new level of complexity in and of itself.

Piper did not know Elvish, and she didn't have anywhere near the right amount of patience to learn it. It was probably the most complex language that she knew of, all the odd characters and those beautiful sounds... Most people couldn't wrap their tongues around it- though Piper was sure that she would be capable of doing it if she had the will to apply herself to it. Then again, she felt that she could do whatever the hell she wanted whenever she felt like- there was the self-centred psychopathy again...

She hardly ever thought about other people, and when she did it was normally how she might be able to use them to better herself. What they had to offer her. Everything was always about her- Piper didn't know how to think or behave any differently, nor did she particularly want to, she felt that her life was going pleasantly enough just as it was. She didn't look at Brendan as he spoke about the orb in Paris, though his words did throw a sizable wrench in the plan. He already knew where it was.

So much for finding it first. Though perhaps she might be able to send word to Jezebel and keep Brendan occupied for long enough in Rome... Piper knew that with her being, well, who she was, that wouldn't be much of a problem. She didn't blame Brendan in the slightest for getting distracted by someone like her, she had her ways of bringing grown men to their knees- making them entirely forget how to think rationally and that there was work to be done. She knew she was a very good distraction.

After a moment she finally peeled her eyes away from the runes which she would not be able to translate without a library and looked back to Brendan. "Wonderful, we're definitely going to need those books," said Piper. She had half a mind to go to said library right at that moment, though she told herself she needed to be patient. Both because the library had likely closed for the evening, and because Brendan was there, and she knew he would only slow her progress down.

"Right, of course," said Piper when Brendan suggested that they leave and go back to the hotel. There wouldn't be much getting accomplished that evening, daylight had nearly gone, and as the evening progressed it would only be harder to look at the runes that they didn't presently have the resources to translate. Again, she allowed Brendan to help her along, and then take her with him via apparation back to their room- where the moment they materialized she saw the spectacular view. It really was something to admire, especially as the day was drawing to an end and the lights of the city were beginning to twinkle in the fading daylight.

Piper didn't look out over the city long before Brendan had pulled her back into him, she should have known that the second they were behind closed doors all impulse control would have gone out the window. Brendan was a lot like her in that regard. Though she wasn't complaining, it wasn't as if there was any work to be accomplished that evening, anyway. Her head instinctively dipped backward as he began to kiss her neck, and she allowed a sensual purr to rise in her throat as she shoved thoughts of business out of her mind. "Why don't you tell me?" Piper whispered seductively.

Brendan has to admit that he is not sure of how long they might be in Rome, for all he knows that it could take as long here as it did in Moscow. Still he hoped with Piper it would faster, though it seems like she was always distracting him in one way or another, whether it was at his apartment, her house or his office. As he kissed her neck that her head went back as he kissed her, when he heard the purr that his kissing had become more rough. Than Piper had whispered and ask why doesn't tell her, honestly he didn't want to ear, not with Piper in front of him. "Let's have some fun." Brendan's hands had went up her body once more, he had took her jacket off roughly but he made sure that it didn't tear or anything. He did the same with the shirt and jeans that she was wearing. When she was wearing her bra and panties that Brendan had picked her up and pushed her against the wall. When he pushed her against the wall that he pulled away from kissing her neck and looked at her, she was still wearing the same set as earlier. Brendan still thinks that Piper was more beautiful than Aphrodite, that was saying a lot considering of what things that Aphrodite was a goddess of. Honestly Piper should replace Aphrodite of being a goddess, because Piper was a goddess.

Brendan had than kissed her lips as his hands moved up her body roughly, he kissed her with passion as well as the kissing being rough. As he kissed her that he had took off her bra and than panties, when he had both things off that Brendan pulled away from the kiss and started kissing down to her neck, to her shoulder and than down to her breasts. Than he had moved back up slowly but he got rougher with each kiss that he placed, when he reached her ear that he spoke. "You are still a goddess, more than Aphrodite. As matter of fact you are beyond a goddess, there is no words to say of how beautiful and gorgeous you are as well as how sexy you are." Outside of closed doors, Brendan had to keep himself in control when Piper was wih him, but when they were behind closed doors that he never could help himself nor did he want to. He wish he could kiss her and make out with Piper, but it would be better if he didn't no matter of how much he wanted to do that when they were at the ministry.
