Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Ahaha... I guess it probably is a lot to get used to. I've never really—tried being any different, for the most part.

[he stands on his own after a moment, and heads to the boardwalk]

I'll admit, I... hesitated, at first, but it doesn't feel bad. Unusual, I suppose. I don't think I'd want to stay like this permanently, but once in a while... would be alright.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

You've got a lot to recommend you either way.

[ she tips her head slightly. ]

Do you think I'd make a handsome man? Maybe I should see what it's all about, sometime.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

I think you would. But I'm very, very biased in your favor.

... do you think I make an attractive woman?

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ her hand moves to very lightly trace the curve of his side. ]

........very.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[shifts closer to her...]

Is that so.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Mmm.

...you didn't happen to get a tip about this, did you...?

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

I might have... heard something.

[wets his lips]

I'll not name names, though.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

...well.

It was very thoughtful of him.

[ shifting to snag her arm around his waist, instead. ]

Maybe I'll have a surprise for you, sometime.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[oh no he's charmed and turning red now. presses closer, tilting his head to one side, biting his lip]

I'll look forward to... being surprised.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ oh no something about that body language is really, really getting to her—

she tugs him in toward her, wrapping both her arms fully around his waist, an leans in to kiss him. ]

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[his breath catches right as their lips meet, and he winds his arms around her neck, kissing back easily. it feels both familiar and unfamiliar, and he wants to explore that duality]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ there's a subtlety to the way he's different, new softness in new places aside, and she can't make herself be shy about smoothing her hands up his sides, over his back, pressing herself in against him.

she presses in against him, testing his lips with her tongue. it's tender, but there's heat in it. ]

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[he hums low in his throat and parts his lips so she can explore his mouth, body shifting under her touch. he can feel the heat radiating between them, as their bodies align in new ways]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ she shifts a little, one hand cradling the back of his head and combing into his hair, the other ghosting over his front and settling just lightly over his chest, feeling out the changes.

just... a little squeeze, a little drag of her fingers, through the thin barrier of shirt fabric. ]

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[he inhales sharply when her fingers touch his chest--there's just the shirt, so it's easy to feel his nipples grow taut through the fabric. he breaks the kiss to catch his breath, murmuring]

Shrike...

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ blushing— ]

Is that all right...?

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[licks his lips]

It's... good. You'll distract me with ease if I let you.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Well, I'll happily oblige in doing so whenever you like.

[ just. drawing her fingers with the lightest of pinches over the peak because this is a little on the saucy side for her but, goddamn if it's not gratifying, ]

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[his brow furrows and his lips part with a shaky exhale, glancing down at her hand on his chest and trying very hard to think clearly. for once he's stumbling over his words, scrambling to try and form a simple sentence]

D... did you want to... take a walk... on the, the beach...?

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ she pulls back, teasing her fingers through his hair, and setting her other hand on his hip. ]

...oh right, we should do that, you're right.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[leaning into that touch, needy]

We... should. It sounds... nice. The water must be...

[trails off, trying to focus. think with your brain not with your clit, raven]

Help me take my shoes off.

[...]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ yeah it's real difficult, that's a mood ]

Sure—here, if you sit...

...intending to do a bit of wading?

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[gonna find a park bench and sit down on it with MINIMAL WOBBLING or at least going to try]

I was planning to. What about you?

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

It's a nice idea, I might... the weather's good for it, too.

[ she kneels to help him with his shoes. ]

Haven't gone swimming properly in a while, actually. I can't remember the last time.
