[unbr8kable]

Who: Requiem, Nemesis
Where: the lobby, for starters
When: Day 181

[Nemesis is waiting in the appropriate spot at the appropriate time, hair tamed and carrying a small bouquet--long stems of bluebells, lily of the valley, sunflowers, carnations, and a pink rose, tied with a tyrian and navy ribbon. She rocks back on her heels as she waits, the anticipatory type of nervous, but straightens as Requiem approaches]

Hey. Wanna head out?

Comments

[stakesthesame]

[ she gives an appreciative hum at that sight, dragging her fingers down to instead dip under the edge of nem's pants to smooth her fingers gently over the front of those panties. She tilts her head to kiss again, lips brushing those warm cheeks. ]

They're the cutest, Kitten...

[unbr8kable]

[Nemesis shivers closer at this touch as well, but pulls up a (rather unconvincing) huff]

Didn't know just matching your clothes counted as "cute". You match all the time.

[stakesthesame]

Joke's on you, baby, I've been mismatching my undies for like a month.

[ draws her hands out to unbutton Nem's pants and tug them down instead. ]

Come on. I wanna get in the water.

[unbr8kable]

H-hey, handsy!

[Nevertheless she does not seem to take any issue with this, squirming to maximize contact rather than avoid it, and kicks her pants out of the way. She gives Req the same treatment, tugging her slacks and underwear down with surprisingly little ceremony and minimal (though not no) lingering touch]

...There you go. I'll get a drink so you don't gotta like pass out if it's too hot.

[stakesthesame]

You're defs more likely to pass out than I would.

[ but laughs, kicking her slacks off and reaching over to tug Nem's panties down too, leaning in to catch her lips just long enough to keep her still to unsnap her bra as well. ]

Mm. Meet you in the shower.

[unbr8kable]

[Smiles back, a little crooked, and shoves her clothes out to the side before grabbing the tea from the conbini and dropping them out in easy reach of the tub. Which is unsurprisingly brisk and she hurries over to the safety to the showers to quickly wash up]

[stakesthesame]

[ when nem catches up she's only just warmed up the water and started on her hair, but she pauses to turn slightly and catch nem's hand raising it up to kiss her wrist.

and then go back to a quick scrub down. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Hums pleasantly, then pulls away, trailing her hand over the small of Req's back. Then she ties her hair into a messy bun, and goes to suds up]

[stakesthesame]

[ soaks and untangles her hair with her fingers before just pinning it up as well, and scrubbing the rest of herself down quick as she ever has.

Which isn't super quick. Nem definitely finishes before her, honestly. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Nemesis is military-quick, soaping up and rinsing with incredible economy of movement. Finished, she glances over to check on Req's progress, which is as good an excuse as any to look at her]

[stakesthesame]

[ mostly done-- she doesn't bother to suds up her wings and avoids the triangular hole in her back entirely, just rinsing down-- and glances over to see nem looking. She smiles, turns the water off, and raises her arms and arches her back to stretch. Almost definitely for show, but. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Looks a little sheepish at being caught out--but doesn't stop looking]

You, uh. Ready to go?

[stakesthesame]

Mm.

[ ruffles her damp wings, curling them against her back, and motions for Nem to follow. ]

[unbr8kable]

[Enjoys the view for a beat longer before trotting after, feet smacking against the wet cedar planks of the fancy shower area. She falls in next to Req, leaning in to her a bit]

Excited for the main event?

[stakesthesame]

[ leans comfortably against her, until she needs to reach up to open the screen to the "outdoor" spring, letting nem in first. ]

I'm excited to melt into a pile of goo, if that's what you mean.

[unbr8kable]

Basically the same thing.

[She follows the short path of wooden decking to a trellised patio, bamboo fencing walling off the modest open area--room for some fresh (cold) water and perhaps some cleverly hidden conveniences but not much else. It's as brisk as if they truly were outdoors, and the sky above is (presumably) the same as what's going out outside the hotel. The tub itself is the star, however, large enough for three and fragrant with the aroma of the warm cedarwood tub and the faint sulfur of the water.

Nemesis squints her way towards the tub, gracelessly hopping over to get out of the cold, but sinking under with a sigh of relief. The steaming water spills over the sides of the wooden tub and drains into the decking below; it's constantly replenished by a gentle trickle from a bamboo pipe on the far side.]

...You coming?

[stakesthesame]

Gimme a chance to get in there, speedy, geez.

[ teasing, but follows her in-- the cold air isn't as immediately noticeable as nem's warmth gone from her side-- and carefully steps in to sink in a few inches next to her girl's side.

she sighs, herself, sinking down until the water covers her shoulders and she's drooped her wings enough to be submerged entirely. ]

... mmm...

[unbr8kable]

It's cold!

[slouches down to her nose--blessed warmth!--and grins over at Req at her satisfied expression. Then she stretches out, feet outstretched almost enough to touch the other side of the tub, for a long stretch before folding back at the waist back to normal seated position--perhaps a bit closer to Req this time]

No complaints so far, though.

[stakesthesame]

[ laughs a little, comfortably settling in against Nem's side and bumping her head to hers. ]

This is great.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Good choice. Nice relaxation after the morning, too.

[stakesthesame]

Yeah...

[ sssssags against her, closing her eyes. mm. ]

[unbr8kable]

[sets her hand at Req's waist, easy]

Don't drown or nothing.

[stakesthesame]

You'll save me if I do.

[ snuggles in, even if she's still significantly cooler than the water itself. ]

[unbr8kable]

Wow, what if I don't want girl cooties from giving you mouth-to-mouth?

[stakesthesame]

I'd be really sad.

And more dead, I guess.
