[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?

[unbr8kable]

[Subtly adjusts her position so that she could get up if she needed to, but otherwise stays where she's placed with a satisfied hum]

[stakesthesame]

[ no qualms with that adjustment here-- she's floppy enough that nem could slide away at any time, if she wanted.

she nuzzles gently in against her collar, almost sleepy, murmuring. ]

Gorgeous, my beautiful girl...

[unbr8kable]

...Don't you get all light-headed. I can't get you out as gentle, y'know.

[stakesthesame]

I'm okay. Just...

[ kisses her skin, light, and settles in again. ]

Happy.

[unbr8kable]

...Yeah.

[smiles, small and private]

I'm glad I could be here with you.

[stakesthesame]

... m'glad this is something we could share, together.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah.

[Ducks her head a little, still smiling with a faint blush over her cheeks]

[stakesthesame]

[ smiles, shifting herself up a little to pull back enough to press a light kiss to nem's lips. ]

... lemme know when you're all nice and warmed up, I got something to show you later. And a nicer room to sleep in.

[unbr8kable]

[chases after, soft]

...This one ain't fancy enough?

[stakesthesame]

[ kisses her again, and again, soft little things between words. ]

Mmhm. This's fancy, but... think you'll appreciate the other one.

[unbr8kable]

[kisses back, but carefully light, over her mouth and nose and eyelashes]

[at length]

I'm more interested in the company... But you had all good ideas so far, so...I'm ready when you're ready.

[stakesthesame]

[ ducks her head a little under those kisses, flushed and pleased, but makes a noise of acquiescence. ]

Mm. ... I've got a song for you, too.

[unbr8kable]

[flushes herself]

Really? That's so much stuff...

[stakesthesame]

I mean... honestly, I wrote this a long time ago, but I never ended up getting a studio... and it's been like, burnin' a hole in my head for months, now. So... m'just gonna sing it to you tonight. Seems like a good enough time to.

[unbr8kable]

Okay...okay. I'm looking forward to it.

[stakesthesame]

I just hope it doesn't blow chunks.

[ ... reluctantly separates after a couple of moments more, standing up in the water. ]

We probably should get outta the heat though, for reals.

[unbr8kable]

...I guessss...

[Follows with a long groan, unceremoniously clambering out of the tub before reaching back to give Req a hand]

Whoof, c'mon, 's cold as balls after the heat.

[stakesthesame]

Brr.

[ teasing, as she gets up-- a little cold herself, actually-- and shakes all the dripping water out of her wings before taking Nem's hand to head inside with her. ]

[unbr8kable]

[dips down to nab the water bottles--don't be a dirty bird--but otherwise keeping moving back inside to safety and warmth with a sigh]

Cold or no, I could probably get used to having my own hot tub...

[stakesthesame]

I'll cash in some points for your own hot spring. So long as I get unlimited access.

[ grabs some towels once they're back in, tossing hers over her shoulders sip she can open Nem's and wrap it around her middle. ]

[unbr8kable]

...I guess I could have my own onsen... I'd never have a reason to leave the house.

[stakesthesame]

I bet it'd look really cool too.

... I could get one. We could do swaps.

[unbr8kable]

House swap?

[takes the towel to dry herself off a little]

Now I'm trying to think of something that'd be better than in-room hot spring, and I can't think of anything.

[stakesthesame]

... getting eaten out in a hot tub?

[ a pause. ]

Nah. Too hot.

[unbr8kable]

...Hot tub, you could just turn it down...
