OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part 10

[brave_kreyu]

Kreyu has taken a different shape than is usual for her. A dragon, yes, but one of quite different build and coloration!

This shape is more serpentine, although it still has four legs and wings. Her body and her wings are covered in feathers that are all the colors of the rainbow. She fusses with some of her wing feathers, the claws of this shape far smaller, as dexterous as human hands.

"How do I look?" she asks, a little nervous about her appearance.

Comments

[27_53]

"Feels very nice."

He yawns and wraps an arm around her body, brings his fingertips to rest at her lower back - she is HIS dragon, even if he might be the treasure.

With her heartbeat and breathing his focus, it is easy for him to fall asleep despite the usual noises one would expect from a busy inn. At some point come daybreak, he stirs faintly and shifts beneath her, moving to wrap her more snugly in his arms.

[brave_kreyu]

Even asleep, she is glad to be wrapped more snugly in his arms. He's warm, familiar, beloved, and she has NO desire to move from her current position.

Perhaps it is the feel of his body under her, being held so securely, that prompts her to make a sound of pleasure.

[27_53]

The noise does NOT go unnoticed, but Skellig does not push it, because she is not yet fully awake - perhaps not even partially awake. Her heartbeat and breathing suggest she is still fast asleep...

So he refrains from doing much else but dozing quietly beneath her; he does let his ears 'wander' a bit as he contemplates breakfast.

[brave_kreyu]

They are busy cooking breakfast downstairs already, unsurprisingly. Xenophon and Kirke are awake not too far away, talking quietly about their parents and the grief they've had to put on hold.


And it seems like SOMEONE didn't go home to their wife last night, so their wife came looking for them and found them in bed with their mistress. There will probably be shouting about THAT very shortly.

Kreyu begins to stir, her eyes blinking open.

[27_53]

From beneath her, her husband grins as she stirs and wakes.

"Morning, my love," he whispers softly. (He knows Kreyu is not the world's most cheerful 'morning person' so he moves slowly.)

[brave_kreyu]

"Morning," she whispers back, a bit bleary eyed, as she wraps herself a bit more tightly around him.

"Don't wanna be a cat yet," she mumbles.

[27_53]

"You don't have to be," he tells her. "We have time yet before the kitchens are done preparing breakfast, our companions are awake but having much needed conversations about healing..."

And THERE is the screech from the wife... that does not need higher level hearing to detect.

"...and someone just found their husband in bed with a woman barely old enough to be their eldest daughter."

[brave_kreyu]

Kreyu frowns at the last one.

"If he would do such a thing, she is better off without him," Kreyu growls

[27_53]

"From the things that she is saying, I do not think she is planning on letting him back into their home at all," Skellig laughs softly, the sound low and a little dark. "And he can fetch his things from the gutter."

[brave_kreyu]

"Good for her," Kreyu replies. "Though I am sure her heart will hurt, later." Such a betrayal would sting terribly! "I am so very glad you would never do that to me."

[27_53]

"Never," he swears firmly. "Not only would I be an absolute fool to lose such a soul as you as my mate, but the vengeance I would face would have me begging for death."

As he doubts her brothers would let him off with a quick and painless exit from this world!

He leans up and presses his lips to her throat. "I have all I could ever dream of right here in my arms."

[brave_kreyu]

He's probably right about her brothers.

"So do I," she whispers back. "More than I had ever dared to dream, right here in the flesh."

Husband downstairs is saying it was an 'accident' and 'not what it looks like'. Wife's response is unprintable.

[27_53]

"Based on that answer from her, his explanation is... not passing her approval."

A wry chuckle. "And our breakfast might be delayed a bit, as most of the staff is distracted by this bit of drama."

[brave_kreyu]

Kreyu frowns slightly. "If I don't have time to digest breakfast in this shape, I'll need to hunt on the way."

The owner has intervened and is demanding that ALL of them, yes, ALL OF THEM, have this argument SOMEWHERE ELSE.

[27_53]

"The Staff have been told in no uncertain terms that unless they would like to join the trio in the streets, they should finish with preparing breakfast."

He leans in and kisses her lightly.

"We will still have time for breakfast," he murmurs. "And perhaps even a little...appetizer."

More kissing.

[brave_kreyu]

"I would be most interested in your appetizer idea," she murmurs. She runs her fingers through his hair, kisses him gently on the lips.

"Though I will need to be careful not to get you too worked up, wouldn't want awkward questions when they bring breakfast," she teases.

[27_53]

"That would be wise," he admits. "As much as it pains me to be careful, I will make it up to you later while we are alone on our travels."

But making out with her a bit? That he can handle without getting too rowdy.

"They might wonder if I have been just enjoying myself, or if I am perhaps hiding a partner beneath the bed..."

[brave_kreyu]

"Or there is something VERY odd going on with your cat," she suggests as she kisses him.

A make out before breakfast, the perfect way to start the day!

She's careful not to touch his wings TOO much, but she can't resist teasing the feathers near his shoulder.

[27_53]

Skellig laughs between kisses. "It is a good thing my wings cannot be seen, otherwise having a CAT as my companion might cause even more of a stir." He shivers gently as she teases his feathers in just that gentle way that she knows drives him wild... but she is being tender with her touches, and it is not causing him to lose his self-control.

"You do not mind traveling with me in that shape, it seems," he adds. "It is an easy way to keep you close to me when you need to stay disguised."

[brave_kreyu]

She laughs at his comment about his wings being seen. "They'd think I'd caught the finest bird of them all," she teases.

"I do not mind," she says. She kisses his neck, preens his feathers. "I can still touch you, be close, without any awkward questions." She DOES miss her hands, of course! "And people EXPECT cats to be nosy, get into everything."

[27_53]

"That is all true," he agrees. "Plus you make an excellent heat source, when you curl up against my neck."

He smirks and tips his neck to give her better access. "Though to be fair when you are in this shape and sprawled on top of me, you also make a fine heat blanket."

Her preening his feathers is a nice feeling, comforting.

[brave_kreyu]

She laughs at his comments. "And you are a fine pillow to sprawl upon, so very warm, shaped just right for me to wrap myself around."

She nips his neck, just a little. She preens him some more, smoothing feathers into place by touch.

[27_53]

His breath hitches faintly in his lungs when she nips at his neck, causing him to exhale a little sharply.

"Feels nice," he mutters happily. "You always do. Make even the most interesting places we've slept plenty comfortable."

[brave_kreyu]

"I'm glad," she murmurs against his skin. "Especially since we may be sleeping rough a great deal on our travels, like on the island."

She teases his collarbones with her fingers as she kisses him on the lips, slow and sweet.

Skellig might hear footsteps and the sound of someone carrying a heavy food tray in the direction of their room.

[27_53]

A faint moan escapes his lips as she kisses him, but his ears pick up on the approaching footsteps and he pulls his mouth away from hers, VERY reluctant to do so...

"Breakfast--" he whispers to her.

There is a faint knock upon the door and it is accompanied by the question if he would like his food brought inside? Or the tray left in the hall?

"Hall will be fine, thank you," he calls out.

Once the footsteps retreat, Skellig pushes himself up onto one elbow and gives her a faint Look. "We need to eat. Something besides each other... that will happen later."
