Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Yes please.

I also have some plum daifuku.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

I was already going to be at your beck and call, but I will accept this bribe without complaint.

[ In the next minute she's emerging from her bedroom, where the mirror is stored. ]

Hey, you. Feeling any better?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

[Generally, his clothes have been very loose fitting because]

[Well]

[He has been inviting his lovers to just have their wicked way with him and he's not gonna have all his nice clothes ruined.]

[But he is coming over to kiss her briefly and wrap an arm around her as he holds out the basket of daifuku.]

I'm not zoning out as much. Easier to keep up a conversation without being felt up.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Damn, here I was hoping I'd get to make the point again.

[ She will kiss him though and accept the basket and pluck one out to eat. ]

What'd you want to talk about?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Hm, later. I still am zoning out.

Well...serious or less serious thing first?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Whatever you're in the mood to start with. [ She reaches out her hand if he wants to hold it. Whatever he has to say, she's not nervous. ]

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

...okay. Serious then.

[He absolutely does. Taking her hand and leading her over to the bed.]

So, when I said this got away from me, I meant it. I was doing a very...cursory exploration at first. At least that was my intent.

And then apparently the moment I decided to entertain the thought, I was just very easy to slam neck deep into the situation and things got out of hand really, really quickly. So there was no intent to hide, it just hit really fast.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

[ She settles on the bed with her snack, though puts it aside as this seems to be moree serious than she assumed it would be. ]

...Okay. I know there's been a lot happening, whatever it is, it's okay.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

There has been a lot. And I think that situation made it also get out of hand, but well...

Well.

Macaque had....well, he said he moved on from Wukong. I'm not sure how true that was, but I had noticed a...shift in how he treated me. It was different. It added more...feeling than just the casual sex had been.

And I thought...okay, maybe I would explore that space. See if it led anywhere.

And it...did.

It led quite far to a where.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

You're in love with him, huh?

[ Saya only smiles. ] As long as you're okay with that, I'm okay with that. I meant what I said on Valentine's Day.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

....most likely, yes.

I knew I loved him platonically. He wasy best friend. Then the shift happened and it's gotten more intense.

Things just haven't slowed down enough for me to process.




You're sure it's okay?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

[ She puts the food aside and kisses his hand. ]

I'm sure it's okay. I sort of wish he'd give me the time of day so we could at least be cordial to each other, but that can come with time. I don't even know what his problem is with me.

If he makes you happy, then I'm happy.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

[He blushes at the hand kiss.]

He was jealous of your relationship with Wukong. [Listen. Its true.] I think now its just him trying to pretend his opinion of you was rational, but he'll come around eventually.

...he does. Make me happy.

I probably wouldn't have made near the progress I have with Wukong if not for him. I needed...someone I could talk to without feeling bad about it.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

[ She chuckles, ] He'd better or I'm going to cut off his tab at the club. [ How much she's joking is unclear. ]

Then I'm glad you have him. It's that simple. He and I will work things out eventually, we have all the time in the world.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

I think he does appreciate it. Its probably why I haven't heard much of any comments about you for weeks now.

We do.

[He squeezes her hand, pulling her hand close.] And you are quite charming.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Nothing like a lot of free booze to sweeten a deal. Besides, I make a point to bleed my employers dry. [ If she's going to tolerate getting grabbed every other day they're gonna pay for it. ]

[ He's more than welcome to her hand. ] How good of you to notice. Maybe recommend he come talk to me at work sometime, there will be enough distractions that it shouldn't be too intimidating.

What was the other matter?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

It really must be an impressive contract, even for them not accounting for immortal drinkers.

I'll try. If he's getting in a healthier place about his Wukong feelings, then he may be more open to the idea.

[Oh right.]

[He blushes.]

[Quite a lot.] Ah yes.

The....

Other matter.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

They were dumb enough to sign it. Not my fault they were desperate for a vampire bartender and there's a low supply.

[ Saya just waits. ]

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Well.


You see.

The year is getting on and spring is rolling around.

And I have a bit of a....

Short straw when it comes to biology.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

[ Saya knows enough to get it with only a few clues, but not this few. Her species' mating calls are directed by physical signs and blood call, not by a certain time of year. ]

Oh?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Yes. You see some demons, particularly those with some beast affiliation can.....

Can follow some of the same patterns of that beast and....

Well...

[His hair is now crackling and he's looking to the side.]

A....

Possible....heat cycle.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Really. [ She doesn't sounds surprised or shocked, just as though she hadn't considered it. But it makes sense. So, fair enough. ]

What will you need? Other than the obvious.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Mostly the obvious.

Food, water, change of some of the bed linens.

Instinctually, things that make me feel safe and secure while in a weakened state.

It...usually lasts a month, but supposedly having a partner can reduce it down to just around a week.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

What would those safety items be? Best be prepared and all.

I'll want to make this easy for you, at least as easy as possible. We all will.

But...

You can't touch my husband while you're in a heat cycle. I'll lose my mind. I allow it all other times despite my reluctance, just not that one. [ Sorry Kantera, she has to draw the line somewhere. A mating cycle is a hard no from her. ]

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Items with 'safe' people scents. Mates, family, close friends that equate to the instinctive equivalent of 'herd' or 'pack.'

Ah.

[He's blushing.] C-considering the way I'll be, that would be best anyway. I'd ask for things Kantera would not be comfortable with in the haze.

But I was going to ask about....scent since he's 'herd.'
