Oh, gee. I didn't mean to wear you out.

[ That's a complete lie. She very much meant to wear him out, and her tone is teasing and light, expressed with a smirk. ]

We can go find dinner and bring it back.

[ Strangely, the idea of sitting and having dinner with him is much more intimate than having sex was. A meal means they will be staying in each other's company; they'll probably converse. They'll talk about themselves. It'll be like a date.

Weird.

She withdraws a bit, hooking her feet on the inside of his thighs and scooting back. ]

I have a towel we can use to clean up.

[ But she doesn't pull away any further, wondering whether he's quite ready to disengage. She's not going to lean in to kiss him but if he pulls her back, she won't protest. ]

[He pulls her back. She's right there: why not kiss her? They'll need to eat something eventually, but it will be there later.]

I don't believe that you don't want to wear me out.

We could borrow some dice.

[Wider eyes make his expression even more speculative. The implication is not that they might play a normal game.]

[ She slides right on back against him when he does that, putting her hands on his biceps and holding on to them with a firm grip. This indulgence feels good, and his clear desire to keep her close feeds into that.

When he mentions the dice she studies his face with a slight smirk. She doesn't buy the wide-eyed innocence for one second. ]

What do the numbers mean, hm? For what you have in mind?

[ She works her thumbs against his muscles. He's so wiry, but fit—she's used to seeing well-muscled men in Freelancer and she's not sure if it's his diet that causes him to be so thin or if it's just genetics. It's something to wonder about; apparently, because she is. ]

[He hadn't been sure what she'd been doing with her hands a little while earlier, but now that she's running her hands over his arms, concentrating on the biceps, he understands that she's feeling what musculature he has. It's leaner and lighter than that of a lot of the other men around -- leaner and lighter than hers in the body she's usually in.]

Whatever we decide they mean. I'll make a list on the MID so no one can cheat.

Mm. Six body parts and six acts, then?

[ She likes muscles, even when they're this wiry. He's fitter than Church had been in either of the bodies he's had on the Moira. She doesn't really know whether she's turned on again or turned on still, but feeling them out leads to her tilting her head and licking at his jaw again. No biting this time though—she only does that when she's ready to commit to the act, but Daniel has made it clear he wants dinner first. She completes the licking with a soft kiss to the corner of his jaw. ]

Either way we have to go get dressed, you know.

That would make it interesting, but we could assign two numbers each to three different things, if you wanted there to be less risk.

[He rolls his head back, presses his eyelids together, then looks at her again.]

Why?

[After a beat, he adds, with an expression of capitulation,]

Oh, all right. Give me the towel.

Less risk?

[ She hooks her finger under his chin. ]

What's the point without risking something?

[ She plants one more kiss on his mouth and then climbs off of him to get the towel, brushing the sash aside when it starts to tangle up in her feet. The towel is in the dresser, and she returns with it directly. ]

Here.

[He's almost smiling as he watches her walk across the room.]

Good. But you never have to do anything you don't want to do.

[It's interesting to him how they've agreed -- without really bothering to formally discuss it -- that this will be happening again, probably even tonight. How long it will last, though, remains to be seen. It's certainly something he's interested in exploring and experiencing.

When she hands him the towel, he dabs at everything that needs to be cleaned, then swings his legs over the side of the bed and peers around the floor for his trousers while holding the towel out to her.]

That's what the safe word is for.

[ It should be notable she didn't feel the need to use it during their encounter. It's good that he's turned out to be this trustworthy, though, since her own safety in this situation has barely been on her mind. She certainly doesn't think of it now.

She uses the towel to clean between her legs and then she goes to the dresser—she hadn't bothered with a pair of underwear when she knew she was anticipating his arrival, but if they're going to be going off to obtain dinner she figures she ought to wear something under her dress.

Once she's dressed, she comes over to him and she hooks her arm in his. ]

We ought to talk more about those things. When we get back.

Edited 2016-09-14 04:19 (UTC)

[He watches her dress, eventually retrieving his shirt and fastening it up the front, then slipping on the soft shoes that he's been wearing from place to place, so that when she comes back, he's ready to go. There's an impulse to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, but he resists it, nodding once at her suggestion.]

We will, if you think there's anything else to discuss.

You know, I'm really in the mood for more of those little crisp things they do here with the berry centers. I wonder if they have them today.

[Those little crispy things probably don't constitute a meal for anyone else at the party: they're on the dessert table. Even so, there don't seem to be any animals around... where is all the food coming from? Is it really all vegan?]

[ He dresses up nice, even if she never saw him wearing anything like this on the ship. She gives him a crooked smile before beginning to lead the way. ]

Well, they've had them every other day we've been here. Let's go look.

[ The buffet tables aren't far from this building, and tonight's party is starting to come into full swing, with the aliens in the process of setting out plates of delectable treats. Tex wanders off from Ryuuzaki—she still thinks of him by that name outside the bedroom, apparently—and picks out a grilled salad and some bread for her supper. She's pleased that he mainly remains near her, picking out a plate of something as well, and they select some desserts on the way back to the building. They did indeed have the tarts he had been hoping to find, and she takes two, since he was recommending them.

It takes only a moment to swing by the gambling tables and procure a set of dice as well. It's as simple as asking the native who's hosting the table for a spare.

It's sort of a belated realization that the bedroom has nowhere to sit when they return, but that doesn't deter Tex. She simply sets her plates down on the floor and sits down in front of them, knees bent to one side, since she's in a dress. ]

[He keeps an eye on her as they move through the tables of food. In the end, his selections are similar to hers, but the proportions are lopsided: much more dessert than salad or bread. He follows her back to the room and, after glancing around, sits across from her on the floor, perpendicular to her. One of his legs is extended in front of him, and the other is bent at the knee, pulled up to his chest.

After a few bites, he muses,]

I could get used to this food. I have to admit, I'm not in a hurry to leave.

[ She's never had occasion to pay attention to his diet, so she has no idea if this is typical. It seems odd that he'd be so thin when he eats this much dessert, but it's really none of her business. She nods at his statement, savoring a bite of bread. ]

I want to stay here, myself. Just...stay.

[He finishes one of the berry "tarts," then starts in on another.]

It hasn't been boring. Aside from that, no one has been enslaved, no one is slaughtering whales, no one is trying to kill us. If we can't get home, this probably wouldn't be a bad place to stay, particularly if we can manage to integrate into this society.

They obviously want to help us to do that. We're welcome here. I don't see why we wouldn't take advantage of that.

[ This position has become a bit uncomfortable and she shifts her plate into her lap so she can stretch her legs, leading to her feet touching his leg. ]

[He shifts his position a little when her foot touches his leg, moving it about half an inch closer to reinforce the contact.]

I suppose we'll have to see how it goes. Maybe it will be symbiotic.

We don't seem to be the only ones having a good time... it seems like most of the rest of the crew would be in agreement. But it will probably involve negotiations... do you think the new captain is up for it?

I haven't talked to him yet. I get the impression the captain only wants the best for us though. I didn't used to feel that way, but here...

[ She shrugs slightly. ]

It's funny how many things that used to matter back on the ship don't seem to anymore. Not here.

[He tilts his head back, muses in the direction of the ceiling.]

Or before that. Things that mattered in my world that are beginning to seem increasingly pointless here.

[He reaches down to tear off a small piece of bread and pop it into his mouth, then follows it with a sip of the sweet wine he's brought to accompany the meal.]

Well, it probably isn't worth overthinking it. Pick a number between one and six.

[ Her mouth quirks up at the corner and she rubs her toes on his leg. ]

Five.

Neck.

[He raises his arm, which forces him to use his stomach muscles to hold himself up, then activates the program on his MID.]

Three.

[He glances at her with raised eyebrows. What will it be?]

Thighs.

[ She waits for him to put those in, having lost interest in finishing the last of her dinner. She sets the plate aside. ]

Number one ought to be the genitals. You pick for two and four.

[ That will just leave the number six for them to hash out. ]

[It takes him a moment to enter those, but as he does, the corner of his mouth quirks up.]

Two will be the chest or back. Four will be the arms or legs.

What about the other die?

Don't forget six. How about the mouth?

[ She says it teasingly, rubbing her toes on his leg.

Then she starts counting on her fingers to enumerate the acts that would go with the other die. ]

Scratch, suck, kiss... [ She grins. ] Bind.

You pick the other two.

Nibble... blow.

[Does that sound good to her? He's already entered "mouth" as six on the previous die. He reaches for his glass and drains it, very conscious of her toes on his leg.]

I suppose we differentiate them by rolling one at a time.

Makes sense to me.

[ She's quite excited for this game he's devised. The fact that he's adventurous as well as being confident feed into her desires for what their relations will continue to be like.

The dice had been set on the dresser when they arrived in the room. Now Tex arises from the floor, goes to get them, and sits down on the bed. She's planning to go first, no matter what he says—she wants to trade off since she was the one who had had her fantasies indulged the last time. ]
