I'll treasure it. With all I have.

...I think you don't have to be so afraid, but I'll protect you, too, if you need it.

... thank you.

Hey, that's my line.

[ and then just sort of

pulls herself over to straddle his lap with her legs. ]

[instinctively winds his arms around her waist]

Too bad. I've stolen it.

I'll have to demand some form of recompense, then—

[ her voice softens from teasing for a moment, though. ]

But really—honestly, and I mean it—I haven't lived a life terribly full of kindness... either giving or receiving. So I'm grateful for yours.

... it's remarkable, then, how kind a person you've become. I don't think I know anyone kinder.

I've just always felt like... well, strongly affected by the world around me.

For better or for worse. A lot of worse, admittedly.

It's all for the better, from my perspective.

[places a soft kiss on the side of her neck]

[ wry: ] Don't speak too soon; I tried to destroy the world because it felt like everything was too sad around me.

[ but a good cry seems to have helped; she tilts her head to the side to expose more of her neck, eyes fluttering closed. ]

[--chuckles, caught off-guard by that]

We all make mistakes.

[nuzzle nuzzle]

I'm trying to be very reformed but there's a reason it surprises me whenever someone thinks I'm a lovely person...

[ smiling, though; resting her hands at his hips. ]

... I'll just have to keep telling you until you get used to it, then.

[kisses his way up to her ear, breathing warmly along the shell]

[ she makes a soft, content noise, thumbs brushing at the join of his hips. ]

You're really... a kind person, too.

[shivers, lips parting]

When you say it... it's almost enough to make me believe it.

You don't come from a place full of kindness, either, but... I have to think the struggling counts for something.

[ she brushes a hand lightly over the inside of his thigh. ]

If it led me to you... then...

[trails off, seeking out her lips for a kiss]

[ she dips her head to meet him, soft and slow... but trailing her fingers up between his legs. ]

[shivers, spreading his legs and dragging a hand down her chest to toy with one of her nipples]

Mnh—

[ she makes a little squeak in the back of her throat, and then presses back into the touch; her fingers tease at his entrance, then tracing up to and around his clit. ]

[his breath catches and his hips jerk instinctively]

Shrike--

[ circling with her fingers in a languid way, a little bit of a tease. ]

Tell me what you want, Raven.

[he can't help but squirm from that teasing touch, his hips trying to encourage her hand but finding no avail]

Shouldn't I be... asking you that?

[he says, but he sounds a little whiny, a little needy]

[ she huffs. ]

You’ve been really good to me today, and I like doing good things for you, so...

Humor me.

[... presses his face against her chest, voice getting softer]

Everything you do to me... feels... amazing. I want you to take me. To... make me yours. I want... to think of nothing but you.

[ geez!!! ////////

she kisses his cheek, softly, and stands up, stretching. ]

I’ll be right back, all right?
