OMG VD!

[cavedwellers]

[Gosh you guys, there must be a holiday on! One of the bigger, more well-lit caves has been decked out for a PARTY, with heart-shaped BALLOONS and also red and white STREAMERS decking the stalactites and shit. There are BUCKETS filled with LITTLE CANDY HEARTS, and there is a FOUNTAIN featuring a rosy-cheeked CUPID who is PEEING PINK LEMONADE into a basin. Also ther are CUPS in case you couldn't tell the LEMONADE was for DRINKING.

Also, everything is HEAVILY SPIKED WITH APHRODISIACS. Eating or drinking the party favors will make you want to MAKE OUT with anyone who gets IN STRIKING DISTANCE. Have fun with that!]

The little angry monster has been showing me what kissing is for.

[ice_and_steel]

[well that was unexpected! She sidesteps rapidly, her arm coming up to block the kick, and balances on the ball of one foot to hook the other behind his ankle.]

[this is much closer to a smile, or rather a savage grin]

You play rough.

[onlyhonournow]

Has he? What have you learned?

[IS HE BEING COY OR JUST DENSE? We'll never know.]

[bythehorns]

Very nice, um, extra nice, possibly, the nicest.

[you are just going to cling to her a little bit and be delighted to discover that your robo-legs don't seem to go weak in the knees when you get head-spinny and start to feel funny in...places.]

[onlyhonournow]

[is totally AOK with this. closes--or rather, the lights in his eyes go off and he's still for a bit]

[bythehorns]

[you smile, and sigh a little bit in contentment, and lean in to do your best approximation of hugging your palefriend. ...which is actually more like just flopping against him with your arms spread, but you hope he'll get the idea.]

[lifestudies]

It's much more exciting when you make a fight out of it.

[lifestudies]

I'm not interested in people who can't.

[twisting free to get both feet on the ground again, aiming an open-handed strike at her solar plexus]

[onlyhonournow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's not usually what that sort of thing is for, is it?

[pincerattack]

[and you realize sort of belatedly that it's distinctly unfair that this human is touching you like that-- nnnngh-- but your hands are just sort of on his shoulders. the problem being that fuckin humans, how do they work?, because you're pretty damn sure humans never had grublegs and they don't have horns and jegus where are you even supposed to put your hands? you settle for clawing at his back in a way that is hopefully not untoward, because you sort of lack the bravery to go under any of his clothes at the moment.]

[onlyhonournow]

[making a happy sort of "hmm" sound in his voicebox, so I think he does get the idea.]

[ice_and_steel]

[slowly sinks down until she is sitting comfortably on the floor, and holds her arms up for Tavros to join her in case he needs extra support for arranging the robo-legs]

[ice_and_steel]

[rests one of her hands on his cheek, since she can't really reach his shoulders]

[this is very strange--the inclination for kissing and, well, the practicalities--but she is not complaining]

[ice_and_steel]

[it's been a while since unarmed combat training, and direct attack magic is probably cheating.] There is a certain freedom to sparring with a partner you know to be capable.

[sidesteps and puts a shield of ice where her chest was a moment ago]

But of course, I'm making an assumption, there.

[goes for a straight punch to the abdomen]

[lifestudies]

Hnnngh--

[back arching, almost-not-quite too much sensation there, but mostly that just sets nerves on fire and makes this more interesting in the pants department, and the other thing about the arched-back thing is that it's a great prelude to grinding hips together when the pants department starts to declare its intentions.]

[lifestudies]

[shrugs]

I believe civilians do it differently, but that seems boring by comparison.

[onlyhonournow]

[and then, suddenly, when it was getting all nice: setting her down as gently as he picked her up and looking to the side.]

Celes, I... I don't know what came over me. That was inappropriate.

[bythehorns]

I, um, I know this is, pretty sudden, when we have been here for, only a little bit of a sweep, but, I think, I'm sort of pale for you.

[onlyhonournow]

[looking thoughtful]

I suppose there's no wrong way to go about it.

[ice_and_steel]

[well that was....unexpected. Does one get offended at this?]

....As near as I can tell I initiated anything inappropriate. Was it...not enjoyable?

[prankster_gambit]

You moan and then flushed because that was kind of an embarrassing sound! You open your mouth wider and cup Tavros' jaw, even though you're not sure what angel would be best for this. Your free hand slides up to one of his horns and you scratch along the underside experimentally.]

[bythehorns]

Oh, that is, a good idea.

[you follow her down to the floor, and curl up close to her as much as you can. you really hope she'll play with your horns some more.]

[onlyhonournow]

No--no. That's not it. That's... not it at all.

But I... imposed on you, didn't I?

[ice_and_steel]

[okay this is more comfortable. and now there can be more petting of horns! texture is so nice. there are benefits to enhanced senses, and this is totally one of them. it seems to call for soft purring noises.]

[ice_and_steel]

[do not roll your eyes. that's pretty rude in any culture.]

If anybody's going to apologize, it's me, because I started it.

But if we were both enjoying it, what's the problem?
