OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part Seven

It turns out that 'guarding the lair' involves more than just staying in one place. Kreyu has a goal today of scouting outside their borders, looking for possible trouble.

Given that Skellig can't speak the local language, yet, they're not trying to pass as locals. Skellig is just wearing a kilt as they stalk through the forest.

The wilderness is truly wild here, only barely touched by humans. Beasts of all kinds live in these woods, wolves, deer, boars, birds, rabbits, and more.

Observation is one of his stronger talents - if not his strongest - so studying the subtle motions of her hand and fingers as she explains how each shape is formed, working to commit the sounds that each character represents, all of that is something he takes very seriously.

(It comes with the territory of spending hours, weeks, days observing - learning patterns, watching people come and go, finding the right moment to slip past unnoticed or make his move. It is the 'owl' part of his mind, mixed with a hint of the beast, survival instincts.)

But once they do decide to break for the evening and start preparing dinner - he is grateful, and more than a little tired mentally. It was smart of her, he thinks, to wear the dress as they worked on that exercise, because his mind is not thinking at all of sex at the moment. His priorities are wine, dinner, and then dessert.

"I feel as if I did decent, for my first day," he says as he pours each of them a cup of wine to drink as she stirs at the cheese.

"I am quite tired," he admits - though she will be able to see the way he perks up slightly when she mentions honey with dessert, a faint smirk not quite reaching his eyes, but it is there. "My energy will definitely need help."

He nods at the mention of the spell.

"I will take any advantage I could gain." He pauses. "This may sound...ignorant, but is it the city where we will go to help the slaves, also? Or is that a different city?"

Once everything is set out, he allows her to choose first before he follows. (He figures they will both eat a bit on their own, then work on 'ensuring' the other has eaten well enough by helping.)

"What is the process now?" He asks, after a few moments of eating, while wrestling a bit of bread and cheese to cooperate. "You do not have to go into great detail, I would just like to know before we go on that day."

"I think you are understating your knowledge of the situation," he muses playfully. "I will be interested to watch how it plays out, if I am able."

After all, he is not sure how 'public' this all will be, judges and courts and advocates. (For as much as he scraped by in the past, his experiences with the legal system have been few and far between, thankfully.)

"I will not spoil myself for the surprise of your arrival," he adds, teasing a bit. "I must play the part, of course."

He swipes another bit of ham and bread through the cheese, then offers it to her carefully.

"Especially in that dress," he comments, giving her a once-over appreciatively. "I have done much better today, with distraction. The sight of you in it still causes me to contemplate the ways I'd like to worship you but I have...managed to stay calm."

"It is not an issue I have ever truly faced before," he admits. "No one has ever caused such a vibrant...response...to my system, as you have seemed to do so."

Skellig smirks.

"It is much more difficult in the clothing of this landscape. There is much less...room to hide."

[personal profile] 27_53 2024-07-05 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"It is not a problem," he says firmly - he does not want her to think that HIS inability to control his cock's response to the mere sight of her is in any way HER fault. "We are simply a couple in the youngest throes of love and desire...it is to be expected that the sight of you would excite me."

He laughs under his breath, reaches for a bite of ham for himself. "I will just have to adapt and make it less...obvious."

[personal profile] 27_53 2024-07-05 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Skellig also does not outright try to press his lips against her fingers, but he is trying to avoid a mess, and if that means he needs to lick off an errant drip of cheese...so be it.

"I know you have much more comfortable things to lounge in," he points out. "If you feel attire is needed at all."

He glances to the bed.

"I did tidy it up a bit...but then nested in it again after I'd finished."

He brightens at that suggestion.

"I would like that very much," he says. "Bring blankets, pillows, and our dessert with us to enjoy. Sounds like a lovely way to spend time lounging with my wife."

Being outdoors will do him good, help keep his internal clock in tune with the ley lines of the world, the energy that surrounds the Lair and Karma that flows freely throughout.

While they are stopped to briefly survey the field and their 'handiwork', Skellig plucks a few blooms carefully (mentally 'thanking' the plant for its sacrifice as he does so) and keeps them in hand as they head higher up the path that winds up the volcano.

"I would say the harvest will be plentiful," he comments. "We may have to stagger the ritual a bit as to not have everything come to readiness at the same time." There simply would not be enough workers to keep up with it all. "Alternate regions in which we perform it. Share the 'wealth', so to speak?"

"You may be on to something," he admits. "Go easy at first, see how things react during the growing season if we enhance them...gently, spread it out a bit."

He does not mind the walking, even uphill as it is - after all, he is in quite good shape these days.

Once they reach the flattened clearing of sorts, Skellig hands her over the flowers (with a sheepish grin) in exchange for the blankets and pillows, and sets himself to arranging a decent 'nest' for lounging in.

Skellig takes it readily - careful not to let too much honey drip onto his lips as she feeds it to him. But there is some, and clearly, he'll need some help in clearing it off once he finishes chewing and swallows.

So it is only natural that he leans over and 'offers' himself up for a kiss once he's ready for it.

Surely she'll accept?

...and yet it is everything that he could want and need, all that he has sought to find, right here within the vast emptiness.

"Very nice," he pays just a hint of attention to the meteor shower, most of his focus on her kiss and her presence so close to his. He takes a piece of apple next, dips it in the honey, carefully offers it up to her.

"Still think the stars on the beach, as you told me their legends...those have been my favorite so far. But these might overtake them in their own way."

If she needs help, he will be there with a kiss to clean up.
