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.'

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Gotcha. We can figure something out. If nothing else, my room is well scented quite on purpose. That was the entire point of it after all. I'll stock it with things you can take out when you need them.

--You mean the biting. Yeah, definitely for the best then. [ She tries to have as few lines as possible but that is a huge one. No one bites Kantera but her. She'd never ask Red Son to observe that with his own partners the same way she doesn't, but yeah. It's different. ]

Scent items are fine as long as you can get them ahead of time or I can bring them to you so here's no risk of anyone getting carried away. I know myself, and I just got over my jealousy so I'd rather not backslide.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Biting. Being claimed. The, uh... [Candles like up around the room and his hair STILL manages to crackle.] The usual purposes of...heat cycles. And depending which way I'm presenting, I can get aggressive or crave it.

I'm asking ahead of time. Then it can be something with a strong scent that'll last.

That is also another hiccup up. When I'm actively with you, this room works, but I'll need to go back to my room after. Its...

One scent is...

Lonely.

Maybe its different when the one scent is a mate versus family, but...

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Whichever one, or both, are exactly the reasons I'd say no touching him during that time. I can explain it to him so you don't need to. [ She's fine taking that on. ]

So... would you like me to come to your room? Just during that time. Fair warning that I might get aggressive with the mixture of scents.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

It would be appreciated because I still need to have this conversation with Noodle Boy, I'm not entirely sure if he knows heats are a real thing or just a kink thing and if its the latter, I'll need to check for any potential misinformation.

[Face in hand and even the hand still holding hers is running hotter than normal.]

Plus a few others who count as 'safe' scents and I'd rather have something ahead of time in case knowing they exist made me try and get them. I'm working with a lot of new factors this year.

I would probably enjoy aggressive.

I would...also be more aggressive. A lot more aggressive.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

I'll let him know. And I'll make sure we have some scent items for you. His will probably be something with kitty ears. [ Just a guess. ]

Don't worry about MK, he'll take it in stride. He probably won't even tease you if he sees that you're distressed. Just make sure he knows that he doesn't get to hog the entire time, sharing is caring. [ She would also take big preferential treatments during a heat cycle as offensive, but it would have to be obvious. She's not going to catalog his time. ]

Hey, I like aggressive. I like how you treat me like a lady, it's sweet, but I'm not one. Chiropteran are monsters. Beasts, to use your word. Our mating practices have been known to destroy buildings.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

Just make sure its something I can bury my face in. There is...a lot of nuzzling. [There is So Much.]

There's definitely no hoarding the full time. I'll want to be with everyone. I would be whining for you if I didn't see you. May be best to just do two days at a time. It would also give people rest.

....I should probably reinforce the room then.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

Not a problem. I'm sure I can make you something useful. Sewing it with my hands will scent something up nicely.

The fact that you think I need rest tells me that you haven't seen enough of my stamina at work. But yes, taking turns is a good plan.

[ She grins. ] Reinforcing the room gives us more options. Eager to have me try to put you through a wall or two?

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[forgingfires]

It would, yes. It would also probably soothe something. The being provided for instincts.

MK should definitely be getting some rest and its the fairest way to do it, I think. I haven't heard of it being much less than a week, so there is at least two days to go around and then its just switching out until my body decides its done.

....

I can't say I wouldn't be begging you to try.

Re: The Day Before Macaque Went Boom

[sangreine]

You may need some different care for a few days after, too. I can imagine you'll need to rest up. [ She smiles like she's planning on him being quite worn out. ]

I can't say that hearing you beg isn't a charming prospect. And as you know, I couldn't possibly deny you anything.
