in the mountain: There's a city waiting for you on the other side of the gate. It's quiet inside and you can tell that the city has seen better days. Now it's half empty and there are only few residents on the streets. They look familiar, don't they? In the middle of the plaza is a small pedestal and on top of that a dim crystal. It's not bright or impressive but clearly Important.

in the forest: Uhh trees?

[she assumes he means her arm, to which she responds by stretching it out for him, splaying fingers illustratively]

All better. Thanks to you.

[in regards to the hunger, well, it'll hold her for a few days.]

[inenochian]

[ cracks a tiny, awkward in that "is my face doing what it's supposed to do" way smile. ]

Is..."thank you" an appropriate thing to say now, then?

[foodporn]

[lol. looks at him all u srs?]

If you want to get kicked out of bed.

[finally finds some modesty and pulls sheets up around her, sitting up crosslegged and combing her fingers through her mussed hair]

What are you, really? Pod person? Android? No...thank you is for when your neighbor gives you a fruitcake or your roommate does the dishes. Usually about this time you're either cuddling or making an excuse to leave as fast as possible.

[inenochian]

Which would you like to do now. [ it's a tone that clearly conveys he's okay with it either way. ]

And I'm not either of those things. [ i'm more like a symbiotic co-inhabitant. ]

[foodporn]

[this is so weird. this is a weird situation. she's literally teaching him how to behave. is this okay? can she do that? is this ethical.]

No offense, but I'm kind of...I have someone, back home. And cuddling is usually, you know, something you do with someone you want to be intimate with.

[not intimate. intimate intimate. she's going to get a headache if she has to explain the finer concepts of this to him. especially since usually sleeping with someone is more of an offense than CUDdling but her situation is a little backwards and lauren knows.]

[inenochian]

[ but she's not making an excuse to leave as fast as possible, either. ]

I'm sorry. That you're here, and not with them.

[ kind of chews his bottom lip for a minute. yeah. he's starting to really get the concept of intimate intimate. ]

[ stands up from the floor and looks around at the less-than-welcoming accommodations. there's no way to bathe here, but they certainly shouldn't rejoin the group in their current state. holds out his hand, palm up, meaning to help her to her feet. ]

[foodporn]

An orgasm and all this? They say chivalry is dead.

[smiles teasingly, but takes his hand either way, using it to pull herself up. now comes the arduous task of picking through clothes to find out whose is whose]

I'll get back to her. Some muppets and a yellow brick road can't get in the way of that.

[inenochian]

I believe that will happen. [ and he does. even with every trial they've faced, he do believe they're here for a reason. it wasn't a meaningless spell cast by some wizened creature. it was His will. ]

You just need to refrain from injuring yourself so grievously again, to ensure you return to her in peak condition for...intimacy.

[ arduous task of laundry sorting may lie ahead, but the moment she puts her hand in his, she's shower-fresh. ]

[foodporn]

I'm not made of glass. I can take a beating like the res-

[oh]

[wow okay wow]

Did you just- did you just go Mr. Clean on me?

[THAT'S A REALLY RANDOM POWER, like when would that ever come in handy, what guy sat down and said, this guy. we're gonna give him magic abilities to clean people]

[pulls away to inspect a strand of hair in confusion]

[inenochian]

[ grinning just the tiniest bit. i did a thing. ]

For expediency.

[ does not, in any way, see how it might be considered invasive. ]

I can't tell you what I am, but my abilities are positive in origin and intent.

[foodporn]

And I'm gonna take your word for it.

[a little bitter, like he knows what she is and it's supposed to be her big secret to keep the ~~fae hidden from people who don't know about them~~~ and here she is still stumbling in the dark with this guy. but it's a comment, not a question. she is just gonna take his word for it.]

[holds the strand of hair out.]

Just tell me one thing. Why kiwi? Do I look like I use kiwi scented anything?

[inenochian]

[ he'd like to tell her, honestly he would, because he doesn't enjoy being false or deceitful with anyone, ever. but knowing there are witches and magic users here, and maybe even worse than that, he can't be open. enochian magic exists, and an angel feather is a very potent item capable of fueling very dark things in the wrong hands. ]

...I thought they were considered exotic. [ and succubi are exotic. naturally. ]

[foodporn]

For future reference, I'm more of a vanilla fan.

[ironic i know. leans down to start sorting through clothes, stepping into underwear and snapping her bra on]

...Unless you aren't ok with this being a regular thing. A regular. Casual. Thing.

[inenochian]

..you'd actually want to have intercourse with me again?

[foodporn]

You'll...get better with practice....

[lmao his face. she can't. who says that]

And I need a regular diet.

[inenochian]

[ has been kind of studying how she's dressing, what goes where and how does it snap clasp latch buckle zip or button. not a lot of exposure to women's clothing, and dean had made fun of the dress he'd chosen. ]

[ has a moment to wonder if dean would make fun of him for this. ]

[ but then it sort of solidifies into dean would say yes to an offer like this. he did say yes. and now there's clara. ]

"Casual Thing" as in. [ she doesn't mean attire, does she. ] Spontaneous sexual conduct as a pursuit of pleasure without expectation of partnership or monogamy?

[foodporn]

[misses half of what he says because she's busy wrestling with blouse, pulling her hair free when she finally pops up]

What did I say? Quick learner! You won't hurt my feelings if you say no, it just means I'll have to find someone else.

[inenochian]

[ reaches over and smooths some of her hair that's gone a little cray. ]

I'm not saying no.

[foodporn]

[glances at his hand and gives him a fleeting grateful smile before shimmying into her pants and taking care of all the buckles and bits she has going on with the weapon holsters and the boots]

And you're okay with me turning you into take-out?

[inenochian]

[ doesn't hesitate in nodding. ]

It will be-- [ efficient. the safest solution. a good distraction. ]

Fun.

[foodporn]

Fun.

[like she's trying the word out. nods and smiles after a moment, finishing up her buttoning or tying or whatever else she has left to dress before giving him a peck on the mouth kiss]

I'll hold you to that. Ready to go?

[u..u gonna get dressed?]

[inenochian]

[ insta-dressed. he was just waiting for her to finish so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortably at a disadvantage. ]

I'm ready.
