soft cuteness might end up a little nsfw

[resetto]

[ It had been a bit since the Maiden and the Exarch had gone full crystal, and Bolormaa had decided today was the day. She was wiggling, excited, and looking right at him. ]

Raha? I think it's time to make you... presentable. I mean, to people who aren't Lyna or me or Cid or Nero. You know, to people who don't know about what we are.

[ She had come armed. With... makeup and paint. ]

Comments

[aneyeonthepast]

Already? [He looks nervous, but a little excited, tail swishing back and forth.] Right. I think- that might be a shock to them, otherwise. Wouldn't it?
So- are you going to use those?

[resetto]

Yes - otherwise, perhaps we'll let them wait too long and they'll mourn too much.

[ She giggled. ] Yup! And you can do me, as well! It's how I change my scale colour.

[aneyeonthepast]

Ah- yes, of course, I wouldn't like to cause them any more distress. [His ears pin back for a moment, embarrassed, before twitching forward again.]

Aha, I see! I thought, perhaps it was… more mystical. Somehow.

[resetto]

Plus, Lyna deserves a break, hm?

[ Bolormaa blunk a few times. ] Oh, it is a bit mystical. It uses magic! But it still needs to know where to go.

[aneyeonthepast]

Of course. She's shouldered a lot.

Ah, so we apply it- and then, what do we need to do for the colours? Or- are they that way to begin? [That would make sense, as he leans in to see.]

[resetto]

We'll need to match it to our former tones... unless you want to try new colours! [ said so playfully. ]

[aneyeonthepast]

Oh? That does sound fun, but… perhaps for a first presentation, we should go for our usual tones? Unless… we wanted to do them twice.

[resetto]

Hah... yeah. They might get scared if you were bright pink.

...How much of your crystal do you want to show?

[aneyeonthepast]

It would be a very sudden departure! …And that's usually been your colour. Though it wouldn't seem too out of the way, I think…

My arm, at least- they've already know about that. Perhaps part of one leg, too…?

[resetto]

Enough to know you've gone though more. It was really scary for all of us, after all.

And, please. Pink and red are the same. Right? [ She began to apply some of the magic paint... to her lips. Before giving his lips a soft kiss. ]

[aneyeonthepast]

Mm. There's no sense in pretending it didn't happen, after all… you all know better than that. [He grins a little, obviously embarrassed.]

They are very close! [He makes a soft sound, leaning into her, ears wiggling.]. Oh- this is a fun way to apply it.

[resetto]

[ She snorted a little, as she continued to kiss him. ] Now isn't it? A little better then just doing it alone. The magic tends to last for a while, as well...

[aneyeonthepast]

Much better. [He reaches out to wrap his arms around her, happily kissing back.]. Then… we could try a few things with it?

[resetto]

We can. We can play all we want-- oh, do you want to apply some to your own hands? T-to me? [ She blushed a little, as she began to slip off her gentle dress. ]

[aneyeonthepast]

I'd love to. Perhaps, hm… perhaps we could have patterns only the two of us are aware of. [He smiles, leaning in to kiss he shoulder.]

[resetto]

Like... under your robes?

--Are you going to keep your robes?

[aneyeonthepast]

Yes! I knew you'd think of it.

Hm…. [He starts shrugging out of them, looking thoughtful.] I think so- they were a thoughtful gift. But… some others might be nice, too.

[resetto]

Plus, they're all crystal now. But... I'd miss them. Perhaps a sometimes clothes?

[aneyeonthepast]

It's a shame- but I still like them. That would work! I think everyone would appreciate that.

[resetto]

The Tower must have liked them as well! [ Bolormaa joked, as she began to apply more magic to her fingers. ] I think maybe wear them for official things.

[aneyeonthepast]

[He laughs, ears pricking up.] I think you're right! Ah, that's a good thought… it will certainly make an impression. May I take some of the paints, too?

[resetto]

[ She places them on a side table, giggling. ] Maybe we can bathe in them next time?

[aneyeonthepast]

That would certainly make sure they got all over. This is fun, too, of course!

[resetto]

Mhm~

[ She giggles, wiggling, and beginning to smear paint on his chest. ] Plus, it's a little more controlled. Tiny bit.

[aneyeonthepast]

Just the right amount. And we get to touch- not that we wouldn't in a bath, too, but…. [He reaches out to touch her nose, smiling.]

[resetto]

We get to touch more. [ She giggled, as he touched her - blushing a bit more. ] Just think of the colour you want~~

[aneyeonthepast]

Exactly. [He hums, thinking of that deep pinkish brown he associates with her.]. Just like that?

[resetto]

[ It spreads, and she giggles. ] Like that! Isn't it wonderful...? To have this ability.

To appear normal.

[aneyeonthepast]

[He makes a curious sound, spreading his fingers out over her skin with a little smile.] It's incredible!

Mm. I… would hope it will be all right, to be a little different, too. …we have options, at least.

[resetto]

We have options. [ Bolormaa repeated, as colour spread. ] I mean - I could have normal eyes, but I like mine.

[aneyeonthepast]

They're yours, after all! Eyes that belong to you… I like them, too.

[He reaches out to dab a little colour on her forehead, leaning in to kiss her afterwards.]

[resetto]

[ She kissed him back, her hands beginning to stroke though his hair messily. ] Just like yours suit you.

...I sometimes miss your non-red eye. But you're the heir to Allag.

[aneyeonthepast]

[Strokes of colour begin to show up, stripes through the blue. He makes a sound of agreement.]

…it was a nice colour. Though- I don't miss the teasing. …then again, it's been a long time since then… In any case, I don't mind that they say that about me.

[resetto]

[ She continued to stroke, but she then paused. And grabbed a mirror so he could see. ]

...we're both old, aren't we. But here we are, acting like children~

[aneyeonthepast]

[He reaches up to touch a stripe, curious.]

Ah… that looks rather nice, doesn't it?

I think we've deserved some time to play~. It's nice, isn't it?
