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

[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.

[unbr8kable]

That's why you gotta stay careful.

[stakesthesame]

So I'm only allowed kisses for drowning, huh... cruel.

[unbr8kable]

I'll listen to arguments if you got some other ideas.

[stakesthesame]

What if I get a case of the hystericals again and I need it?? You're gonna deprive me of my only cure?

[unbr8kable]

[...does flush]

Well. That would go against the doctor's creed to do no harm... Can't say no to emergency use, I guess.

[stakesthesame]

... oh no!

[ sinks into the water more, dramatically stretching a hand up. ]

I can feel it coming back! The lady crazies!

Doctor, quick! Cure me! A kiss is the only way...!!!

[unbr8kable]

[snorts out a chuckle]

Okay, okay. Can't just leave a damsel in distress.

[tightens her grip on Req's waist a bit, and leans in to kiss her, gentle]

[stakesthesame]

[ curls both arms around her shoulders and kisses her back with a soft, pleased hum. ]

[unbr8kable]

[leans in to continue, then--short, simple kisses, one easily leading into the next]

[stakesthesame]

[ relaxes under those, giggling against her lips and content just to leisurely smooch until they're both a little breathless. ]

[unbr8kable]

[eventually has to pull back, redfaced and honestly a little dizzy; moves to just lean into her instead, arms still looped loosely around her middle]

[stakesthesame]

[ definitely happy to hold her, arms around her shoulders and snuggling comfortably in. Their bodies are colder skin to skin than the surrounding water, but feeling Nem's heartbeat against her chest is more than worth it. ]

[unbr8kable]

[honestly nice to have something (well, someone) cool to lean against in the hot water; she should probably get out for a bit with how goofily lightheaded she feels, but staying put to listen to Req’s slow breaths feels like a good compromise]

[stakesthesame]

[ she lets them sit in comfortable silence for another five or ten, then, room silent except for each others' breathes the soft trickle of hot water from the bamboo spout.

But even her own skin gets warmer and warmer and closer to the temperatures of the water; she gives Nem's shoulder a couple of wet pats, pulling herself back a little. ]

... come on, baby. You're all red. Sit out a bit and cool off.

[unbr8kable]

[tries to keep leaning in against her, even as Req pulls away]

Nn...I don't wanna move. It's cold out there and you're nice and warm.

[stakesthesame]

And you were saying I was gonna pass out...

[ gently verticalities her out of the water to sit at the edge of the pool, reaching for one of the drinks they'd put aside to press gently into her hands.

she stays in the water herself, though, leaning against Nem's knees. ]

C'mon, Kitty. Have a drink, don't end the night all sick or nothin'.

[unbr8kable]

Oohh--!

[It is very cold in the open are compared to the water, and while that does bring clarity, it also brings cold tiles on her ass so kind of a minus overall. Wriggling a bit at the cold, she smacks petulantly at Req's bun with a somewhat overdone pout]

Geez, you could warn a girl...

[that said, she does take the water; logic may be harsh but it is in fact correct]

[stakesthesame]

[ she laughs, lightly, and squirms closer, wedging herself between nem's thighs so she can circle her still-hot arms around her waist and snuggle her face in against her stomach. that should help a little. ]

I totally gave you fair warning.

[unbr8kable]

[she immediately blushes, so, yes...]

[her hand trails down from Req's hair, stroking gently down the nape of her neck]

Unfair warning at best.
