It's... easy to be at ease around you.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

That's why I never tire of it.

[kisses the top of her head]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

You get more and more charming with every single thing you say and do, I swear.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

Are you saying you feel charmed?

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Pretty much always.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

You... charm me, too.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

You're really easy to flirt with!

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[nips at her shoulder]

That's because you know me well.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Guess I've known you for nearly your entire life here, actually.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

... that's true.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

...I feel like you know me pretty well, too, even if the same can't be said, though.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

... I'd like to think so.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

...is there anything you want to know about me? I... used to be pretty different.

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

Is it a cop-out if I say... 'everything'?

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Not exactly, but it helps if I have a place to start, handsome.

Tell you what. I'll drive us somewhere we can take a nice bath together, and you can tell me your life story.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

Sounds...

...well, I’ll warn you that it’s not much of a happy story. But if there was ever a nice way to tell it, that sounds like it.

[nudges her head up so he can kiss her, soft and lingering]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ oh,,,,

she just melts against him, winding her arms around his shoulders.

this is counterproductive for going anywhere else so she’ll eventually let him go, but. good. ]

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[yeah he's really into this naked post-coital cuddling with shrike. he pulls her into his lap and holds her close, which is also counterproductive to going anywhere. good job team]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ oh

being the one sitting in someone’s lap for once rather than the other way around is. nice ]

We... might want to go before we get... too comfortable...

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

Probably.

[so comfortable though!!!! ... sighs, and gently urges her off so he can climb into the driver's seat]

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ she clambers off, with a little reluctance, and fishes for her underwear. ]

I can go get your clothes...

Re: 257 probably

[selfpreservationist]

[using his own towel to lay down on the front seats as he starts up the car]

Thank you.

Re: 257 probably

[softlyfalling]

[ time for a quick and slightly wobbly nip over to the boardwalk for all of their clothes and back in record time; she wrings them out a little and sets them in the back on top of the beach tote. ]

...I don’t know if you want to put yours back on.
