bonne anniversaire

[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

[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...

[stakesthesame]

True. But then it's just a normal tub and that's boring.

[ toweling herself down, giving her wings a couple of flaps to get most of the water out. ]

[unbr8kable]

It'd be bubbly and warm, not bubbly and hot. ...Not sure if that's gross or not.

[stakesthesame]

Eh, just a jacuzzi tub then. Loses a lot of charm.

[ puts some pj pants on... doesn't bother to grab a shirt though since her wings are still damp.

and tosses nem a shirt and boxers that we totally definitely brought in here with us. ]

[unbr8kable]

Guess bathtime's just gotta stay pure... That's just life.

[Nemesis is not complaining about this costuming development, btw, tugging on clothes and otherwise enjoying the view]

[stakesthesame]

Hot spring's still free game, in that case.

[ pauses, glancing at her looking, then crooks a finger, beckoning. ]

[unbr8kable]

You were the one who ruled it out in the first place!

[grins back, half-sheepish, half-shameless, but does approach]

Either way, you could say lots of places are free game, so...

[stakesthesame]

That's true. I could.

[ waits for her to approach, then gently drapes her arms over nem's shoulders, loosely draped. ]

Saw you lookin'. Got something to say?

[unbr8kable]

Just appreciating the blessings of nature. That's okay, ain't it?

[and the question is serious, even if her tone isn't quite]

[stakesthesame]

[ sways very slightly, pulling her with her, and humming with a crooked smile. ]

Mmmm, I dunno. You planning on buying any of those goods you're browsing?

[unbr8kable]

[sways along with her, resting her arms gentle at Req's hips and leaning in to press a kiss a few inches below her collarbone]

Gotta say I wouldn't mind taking some home for a test drive.
