I certainly like to think so, yes.

[Ever modest. He wrapped his arms around her hips as she pulled him into that kiss, and he echoed her actions with equal fervor, his opened shirt slipping back so as to let their bodies touch skin to skin. It was an intimate breed of heat, and Chilton considered the maneuver both sincere and a distract tactic.]

Won't you tell me now?

[He asked, whispering it against her ear. A few kisses -- and a lick at the lobe -- tried to mitigate the depth of his request, but Chilton had his agenda to adhere towards. Nevertheless, a slow burn wasn't beyond his antics; his lips moved along her neck, savoring the taste of her flawless flesh. He kissed her collarbone, looking up only momentarily, in an attempt to seek permission for additional exploration.]

[ The kiss lingered -- heated, passionate, and intensely wanting. In some way, Chilton had proved his worth. It might have been strange that hearing about Chilton being dissected was such a turn-on, but you know. This was Raina.

When his lips were on her ear, she took the opportunity to divest him of his shirt -- smoothing it down his arms before she was in his lap again, leaning into his wonderful mouth, fingers moving up to slip into his hair while he explored her collarbone. ]

What? And ruin the mood?

[ She sighed when he kissed near the center of the clavicle which happened to be a particularly erogenous zone for her. But he shared his story. And he wanted to know hers. And it was only fair to tell him. ]

I'm not entirely human. We're inhumans, they call us. My grandmother always told me about our family being special. She said I would undergo a transformation and become an angel, that the blood in our family was intertwined with another race -- an alien race. And when the time was right, that DNA would awaken inside of me. And it was the only thing I ever wanted in my life, to be special, to be something more.

So I went through life, doing what I could to work toward this goal. And finally the stars aligned and I was able to put everything into motion. The thing you need to understand is Skye is also an inhuman. She and I shared the same fate, and when I went down into the temple to put the ritual into motion, she followed me like I knew she would. She claimed it was to stop me. But I know the truth -- she wanted to know who she was and what she would become just the same way I did.

[ Raina lowered her eyes to his open slacks and the palm of her hand skirting over the center of his undergarments. ]

So there we were, a piece of alien technology placed on a pedestal in this temple. It opened up to reveal these beautiful crystals. And I remember being so excited, thrilled to finally know the truth and to have my grandmother's stories become a reality. From the crystals escaped a mist that hit both Skye and I, and then we were encased in some kind of chrysalis. It spread up my arms and quickly surrounded my body, and my final thought was one of fear and confusion.

[ Raina sighed, finally pulling back from him and putting distance between them. ]

The stone broke away, and Skye emerged just as beautiful as ever. She became everything I wanted to become, everything I thought my grandmother had meant for me when she told her stories. And I became....this.

[ She closed her eyes, willing her human form to give way to the thorns. They poked through her skin, growing out of it and surrounding her from head to toe. Her fingernails became claws, her hair faded in favor of becoming sharp and pointed barbs. And when she opened her eyes again, they had changed color -- now a golden amber. She watched Chilton quietly, worriedly, looking for any sign of horror or disgust. ]
