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!]

[half-chokes on lemonade] That's one way of looking at it. I've never heard that kind of reticence described as cowardice before.

[hmmm. If I try to touch him it will probably be much like touching Shadow unexpectedly and I really am not sure I can accurately cast Cure right now.]

[lifestudies]

[looking Celes up and down]

You wouldn't be intimidated that easily, would you?

[ice_and_steel]

[some people would call it a smile. most would call it a baring of teeth.]

No, I don't intimidate easily.

[lifestudies]

[gives her a sort of measuring stare for a moment longer]

[then snaps a fast, high kick at her head]

[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.

[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]

[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]

[there is a puff of smoke and then you are punching a log! while Sai is landing lightly a few feet away.]

Allow me to provide you with evidence, then.

[rushing in, low, for another attack]

[ice_and_steel]

[oooooh, that is a trick I want to learn.]

[she leaps into the air to let him rush under her, and adds an extra kick to the meat of his calf--don't want to do real damage to the knee when I'm not sure how much damage I can heal--to keep his momentum going farther than he meant]

[lifestudies]

[activating chakra in both hands and feet to catch himself against the cave floor before he overshoots too much, then using that same energy to launch him back again, catching her at the waist and knocking them both down]

[ice_and_steel]

[grunts as she lands on the cave floor with a ninja on top of her, and then braces to shove off the floor and flip their positions. She won't keep the advantage for long, he's damn fast, but she grabs his hands and puts her considerable strength into pinning them to the cave floor]

Nice moves.

[lifestudies]

[doesn't try to break her grip -- not directly, anyway. Instead just arches his back, curling up off the floor to go for a kiss.]

[ice_and_steel]

[oh. Yes. It is probably rude to bruise one's partner, so she loosens her grip a little, and kisses back a little clumsily. is it supposed to feel sort of tingly like this? because it's very nice.]

[lifestudies]

[has just been learning kissyface from an angry troll, so have some biting with that! not trying to draw blood or anything, but definitely as much teeth as tongue here]

[ice_and_steel]

[this is totally unlike what she has overheard from her soldiers talking about their conquests, but that little bit of sting is a nice contrast. She nips back and tries touching her tongue to his lip a little bit, fingers curling more gently around his wrists]

[lifestudies]

[and with that grip loosened, it should be just about possible to twist his wrists free and get a bit of leverage to roll them over, so he's the one doing the pinning.]

[ice_and_steel]

[makes a muffled noise of surprise upon finding herself pinned, but it's not unpleasant. Especially when his leg is braced there. Um. That's...not appropriate to rub against him is it? probably not, although it's really hard not to.]

[biteykisses are okay though. she'll stick with those.]

[lifestudies]

[nobody has ever explained manners or inappropriateness where Sai came from, and he has had a fucklot of candy, so there is going to be some grinding here now that he has leverage for it. because mmm, friction, that's awesome.]

[ice_and_steel]

[oh. oh. yes. that is very nice. she arches up and rubs against his hips and makes a very quiet breathy noise, and her hands slide down his back, surprisingly cool]

[lifestudies]

[how do you feel about clothes coming off? this would be the time to object if you're going to, because Sai is trying to figure out how yours go.]

[ice_and_steel]

[okay by me.]

[hmmm, clothes off seems to be the right idea. She tugs at his shirt until her hands slip under it, unnaturally cool, and hmmm. Does it have to come off over his head? Because that would interrupt kissing and that would be a great shame.]

[lifestudies]

[not really thinking nearly so much about shirts, going straight for pants, pretty much, since Sai is a seventeen-year-old boy who has never even had polite sexual mores explained to him. how does i find your squishy parts.]

[ice_and_steel]

[pants work too, with added bonus of not having to stop kissing. She fumbles awkwardly with his and oh. That's--she didn't think it'd be quite so smooth, somehow.]

[lifestudies]

[pushing into her hand -- mmm, fighter's calluses, that's nice -- and wrestling the rest of her clothes out of the way, reaching between her legs to find out how she feels]

[ice_and_steel]

[squirms a little bit to help with the getting the clothes out of the way, which makes her bump up against his hand in a way that's really nice and causes her to make a sound that was definitely more breathy and high-pitched than she wanted it to be.]

[she covers for it by biting his shoulder.]
