Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

Right now? Absolutely.

[ leans in to kiss her hair, despite any grossness. ]

... c'mon, let's clean up.

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[oh no

Leans in as well to press a kiss to Req's sternum, cheeks hot against Req's skin]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ ...? amused though, curling an arm around her shoulder. ]

Could wait 'til we get clean before we get all into that, y'know.

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

Uh-- I didn't mean...

[Turns away, flushed dark; only showers now]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

Didn't mean?

[ lets her go, but sits on the edge of the tub to patiently wait; she'd help, if she weren't still gross herself, so maybe separate cleaning is best for now...

she's got no qualms about watching tho. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

Not everything's about bein' turned on...

[with that, she hops into the shower, tipping her head forward to start rinsing out the grossness. she takes a moment to just enjoy the spray against tired muscles before just scrubbing away]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

... you're real cute.

[ can't resist reaching out to touch anyway, though, smoothing her fingers over the bumps of nem's spine. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

Nnn...

[Squirms a little into her touch, the lightning scars down her back pulsing a pleasant indigo]

Though you wanted to wait 'til you were clean..

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

I just wanted to touch you.

[ grins at the colors, though, tracing the edges of the scars-- with a pang of hurt she's grateful nem can't see make her wince-- before pulling back, finger ghosting over the small of her back for a second or so. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[The color goes deeper and warmer, and she shivers, even in the heat of the water]

You're distracting...

[She gives herself a cursory wipedown before scooting out of the water so Req can go; definitely not squeaky clean but not actively grody]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

Oooh, so sorry, I'll do better next time.

[ pleased, but lets her finish, before standing so she can get under the water and start gently, carefully wiping the grit and dust and blood off of her wounds. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[watches from as far away as she can see (which isn't very, but), checking for any spots she seems to give extra attention or avoids]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ none in particular-- she just seems overall sore and bruised, and the cuts and scrapes are all pretty much what can be expected of shattering glass and concrete.

she finishes up quickly enough herself, apparently unwilling to stay under the water too long. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[relaxes a little, but still seems a little keyed up while Req finishes up, checking to see if her face and hand have gone back to normal]

Still wanna soak?

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ considers, rubbing a little more blood out of her feathers...

The gold still remains, though. ]

... nah. I'm... tired. And everything kinda stings...

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

You need a pink team? That stain didn't go away...

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ looks down at it uncertainly ]

It doesn't hurt. And it doesn't feel weird or nothin'.

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[Reaches out to it, brushing gently over the skin as if it might feel--different, somehow]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ feels like normal skin!

Though any normal grey skin she brushes over also trails gold in the wake of her touch. ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

Ah--ah shit...

[Attempts to brush it away, like dirt or maybe those pillows with two different colors of sequins. Eventually she jerks her hand back when that proves ineffective; stares between her fingers and Req's skin]

What...what's happening?

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ blinks, watching with a little frown, and touches her own skin with some confusion--

Then shrugs, reaching to take Nem's hand. ]

Hey-- hey... listen, it doesn't hurt or nothin. It's fine? We can worry about it later, yeah? Maybe it'll go away.

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[takes a step back, worried]

What if it don't? ...I don't wanna hurt you again.

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ doesn't let her get too far, grip tightening just a little. ]

You're not hurting me, I'd say if you did. 'Sides. What're you gonna do, never touch me again? That sucks, dude.

[ it's been long enough now that the gold smears on her face are probably starting to fade a little, anyway... ]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[unbr8kable]

[tense, but doesn't pull away further; is probably unconsciously leaning in a bit, actually]

I know. And I want to--hold you, and stuff, especially after...

[she trails off. then reaches out with her other hand--hesitates before lightly brushing the metal and silicone over Req's arm instead. this is science,]

Re: 268 post-boss fights

[stakesthesame]

[ She watches the arm; perhaps with caution, but it's more likely curiousity.

The metal doesn't leave any marks at all, even with pressure. ]

It'd really suck if you didn't just cuz I turned into an etch-a-sketch.
