I Have Lips Worth Kissing

Faeyt Chord had been getting used to her new... body. Well, it was not really a new body; but really, it was still the same body... just older. Her father had helped her buy new clothes — and the doctors had run every test they could think of, from testing her mental age to trying to figure out how to reset whatever spell had been cast, but to no avail.

And, so, Faeyt was stuck in the body of an eighteen-year-old girl, luckily the spell had aged her mind as well. She snickered as she thought back on the night it had happened. Just the day before the tsunami warning had gone out, Faeyt had been romping about in the city, by herself and she had stumbled into someone's aging spell — though she did not know that.

The next morning, her father had come to wake her up and help her dress for the day, but instead, she woke up with a rough shake to her shoulders... And when she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she cried out — though her father's panicking hand-motions had caught her eye and she was staring at him in silent disgust.

'Did I drink?! Did we sleep together?! Where's my daughter?! How old are you?!' She crawled to one end of the bed, her pajamas were much too small for her by this point, and held tightly to her legs. She lifted her hands to sign frantically, tears brimming in her eyes.

'Daddy it's me! No we didn't sleep together, that's gross, daddy! I'm your daughter! And I'm.. I was four. Fix it!'

This had only caused her father to panic more, and ask her frantic questions until he was assured that this grown woman was indeed his Faeyt, by a grand mal seizure that sent her off the back of the bed and into the floor. Sai, had of course, helped her onto her side and held her head so that she wouldn't injure herself — before finding her something to wear that would fit. 'We'll figure this out.' He had promised.

Of course they hadn't been able to figure it out. But, Faeyt had accepted that.

Her father had helped her get her ID., her license, and she even had keys to the apartment. Though now, she was out and about — wandering through the town's art gallery. Faeyt had not been listening when the specialists had been talking about her abilities — and how they had no idea about the manifestation. If she had been listening, she would have known that she had an aura of death around her; that would draw those of the darkest natures forth.

But, she would also know that she had a gentle, bright beauty to her — that would do nothing more than draw forth the nastiest of the dark natured. In her opinion, she was grown. Though she was taking classes at the Academy — they'd let her take pretests to catch up to the grade-level her mental state was in, and she had ended up a freshman in high school.

It was still so weird, but she wasn't complaining — not anymore. Perhaps it was one of her abilities. She didn't know.

Her gaze focused idly on a piece of art, fingers twisting through her blonde curls in thought. She was trying to figure out what the piece resembled — what it could mean.

Julian Antoinette felt terribly restless that day. In between appointments, finishing his new pieces and a growing hunger gnawing at his stomach, Julian was disheveled, unfocused. His usual perfect suit was unbuttoned in places, and for the past half hour, he'd been spacing out attempting to hold a conversation with one of the gallery security men that was beginning to irritate him more than anything. The poor pathetic man. He wondered what it was like to be normal. It seemed so... dreary.

Julian had been on his third cigarette before he put it out against a concrete wall. He threw it in the trash and headed inside, checking out his new arrivals. Even these couldn't hold his attention. And he'd paid millions for them! Millions of dollars for dry paint on canvas, subpar pieces where he knew he could do better.

Ennui was a killer. Was this the fabled murderer of the greats?

He went deeper into the art gallery, deeper until he found an answer to his prayers — a beautiful woman, who looked like an angel and stunk of death. His feet seemed to move automatically until it came to a stop beside her.

"Bonjour," he said, eyes transfixed on her lovely face, entranced, her lovely neck exposed. He could feel himself salivating. He smiled. "I don't believe I've seen you in my gallery before, madame. I am Julian Antoinette, owner and proprietor of this establishment." He gestured for her hand so he could kiss it.

And then, he followed her gaze to the wall. "Buehler. Bizarre, isn't it? I think its absurdity among the lovely pieces present is what sets it apart. Buehler sculpts without lines. I find his pieces spectacular because of that."

Faeyt turned slightly, her head tipping to one side. "Buehler? That... that is beautiful." She murmured, gazing at the painting once more. She grinned slightly as she turned back to the man. "So wait, say again? You're Julian Antoinette?"

She grinned as she allowed the man to claim her hand. "Faeyt Chord," she stated, giving a mock curtsy with a smirk. "You are not what I imagined the man, who owned this gallery, would look like." She grinned coyly, fingers of her free hand twisting into her hair.

"So, anymore pieces you would recommend?"

Julian took her lovely, porcelain hand into his and pressed a kiss to the back of it, lips lingering for the slightest of moments. "Indeed." He smiled faintly, amused at her expression. "One often associates an art connoisseur's appearance with that of a weary old man. I'm far from their kind, however. I like to make art and be art, as well as enjoy it."

At the question, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, do I have recommendations? This entire gallery is my recommendation. All of the pieces here took my breath away, which is why I display them now to you." He tapped his chin. "I'd make a lovely woman like you the biggest display, but I suppose I'll settle for watching your enjoyment."

He beckoned her closer to a statue. It was a piece made to look like rotting, thorny vines, shaped like a hand reaching for help. "This is by a local artist named June. The title is Desperation. He made this piece when his girlfriend broke up with him, to simulate how he felt at losing her." He folded his hands on his back. "What takes you to my gallery, mademoiselle?"
