I'd like to do more things with you and, of course, Nero. I know he's been really busy lately, what with his family having all come here at once... and then the marriage thing and getting together with Jason...
[ i think technically this is before the proposal but timey wimey whatever this is interesting to talk about ]
...mm, it's a little hard—I mean, we're both people that share well, he and I, and but it's never—entirely easy, especially when someone else is going through a hard time.
We should actually try and make more plans, then. I know... well, when I was initially seeing Sekhmet and she was still seing Kohime, it was difficult, since I sort of felt like it was fair that she should be putting Kohime first especially since I basically ruined their relationship, but we hadn't actually pinned down what we were to each other, so I didn't feel like I could ask for much anyway...
I guess all that is to say that—maybe it's a good idea to talk about what you want out of a relationship with him? People have a lot of different ideas, so sometimes you have to nail things down, I guess...
Agreed. I just like to do things, especially with the people I'm close to. I know this place kind of makes it difficult, since we never know when something's going to happen, but I would definitely like to do more. Like, we never got around to that double date.
I just know that Nero and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess we've never really talked about what we are and what we want as a couple beyond that. It... definitely couldn't hurt.
I had a good time. [ she smiles down at the water. ] It was nice. I bet this is going to sound a little weird, but... I feel like I definitely got to know you a little better by, ah, getting intimidate with you. Like, I know a little bit more about you and... [ she smushes a hand into her face. ] It really does sound kind of dumb, huh?
Well—I definitely learned a few things about you, today. But, it's sort of... I get what you mean. Kind of... getting to see a different side of someone.
...mm, like, all the walls kind of come down when you get intimate with somebody and, ah, yeah. [ just going to stare at the water, her tail flitting about and making it ripple as two of her tentacles move to embrace shrike. ]
...so what sort of things do you like? It seems like you enjoy being on the bottom, especially if somebody's capable of giving it to you rough. [ smirks. ] I like that too, honestly. But I... mostly top. And that's fine, like, I enjoy making people happy and watching them squirm beneath me is certainly something else. [ her smirk broadens. ] But I wish somebody would just pin me down and fuck me stupid.
That's definitely a part of it. Like, getting intimate with somebody is already putting yourself out there, but trusting them not to take advantage and to basically treat you 'right', so to speak, is on another level. It can be great when you're with certain people.
I totally understand. I think most people think I prefer the top, because of my personality and, like I said, I definitely don't mind it. It kind of comes naturally, because, well, ... [ she just chuckles. ] But there's just something satisfying about letting somebody else take control. Kinda like you said before, trust.
I don't think there's a way to be bad at it when you're giving an honest effort and just sort of showing the person love and attention.

Re: day 249, bright and early!
what do you do with the postcoital snuggle impulse in this kind of situation, anyway: she sure doesn't know. ]
He loves you. He wants you to be happy, so—I'm sure even if it's a little uncertain, he'd be glad to hear you talk about it.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Mm, at least we all have each other's best interest in mind and we want everybody else to be happy.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
...yeah. Honestly, best anyone could ask for.
I'm, er... speaking of, I should... probably ask if... or, er... how you felt, about what just happened.
[ how the fuck do you ask "was that more than one-off interest there or nah" without it being super awkward ]
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
I mean, I—
[ she quirks a smile— ]

Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
she just sort of... lets that happen? it's a little cute. ]
I guess I'm a lot less, er... reserved, in that setting, it's sort of true...
Re: day 249, bright and early!
It definitely sounded like you knew what you wanted.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
I mean, it's sort of—I try, anyway.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
I—guess I just like, er—well—
...it’s just kind of relaxing to be able to trust someone else to be in control, I guess. So if someone, er, tells me what to do, it’s... nice.
Re: day 249, bright and early!

Re: day 249, bright and early!
I'm trying to, er... get a little better at the other side of it, but it, ah... takes practice.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
You're not wrong. Sometimes you can just, like, do it, but other times...
Re: day 249, bright and early!
But also, like you said, I like... being able to make other people happy, it's just. I don't want to be bad at it.

Re: day 249, bright and early!
[ she pauses, and then—
reaches over and cups DVa's face with one hand, tilting her chin up gently before leaning down to kiss her again. ]
