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

[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."

[brave_kreyu]

"We do," Kreyu admits, also reluctantly. She moves out of sight of the doorway, so Skellig can go and bring breakfast in.

Fresh bread, butter, eggs cooked with a mix of vegetables and spices, fresh fruit, and watered wine. A fitting breakfast for someone who is going to be doing a lot of exercise!

[27_53]

And with two servings of it, there is plenty between them to share to ensure they get their fill.

"If we rest for just a little while after you must shift, that will be enough time for you to fully digest all of this?"

Another nap would probably not be an awful idea given what they're going to be doing today, and it is still quite early all things considered.

[brave_kreyu]

"A few hours in this shape should suffice," Kreyu replies. "And a nap while I'm digesting wouldn't hurt."

She chuckles. "Makes me feel dreadfully lazy, but there are fine details of shapeshifting even I can't get around."

[27_53]

"You are just adapting to the form, what it needs." Skellig shrugs a shoulder as they start to dish out the meal. "It is smart, resourceful."

He picks a few pieces of fresh fruit from the tray.

"After we eat, I will go down the hall and tell Xenophon and Kirke I need to rest a bit longer before we see off. I doubt they will mind." Kirke especially, with having to work so hard at such odd hours day and night!

[brave_kreyu]

"Thank you, love," she says, smiling softly. "I am so very lucky to be with you, whatever shape I wear."

"I am sure they both need more rest than they have been getting, and quiet."

Kreyu eats more than she usually would to break her fast because she knows she will need the energy. flying is hard work!

[27_53]

"Our turn for rest and quiet may take an extra day or two, but I do not mind that either."

He glances at her over his food.

"To hear the forest come to life with the dawn, you wrapped in my arms...I look forward to that. A fire crackling softly, the way you breathe against my neck..."

[brave_kreyu]

"You paint a lovely vision, but I don't mind waiting a few days for it."

"Snow too, in time. I've only ever seen it on the tops of mountains."

[27_53]

For some reason he is surprised at her admission that she has only ever seen snow on mountaintops.

"The cold can be wearing on the body, but with our bodies pressed close together, there is no storm we could not weather."

[brave_kreyu]

She laughs, low. "I would prefer to add blankets and some shelter to that situation, but I would gladly press close to you for warmth."

She casts her eyes upon the bed, stretches a little. "Would you like to sprawl on me this time, or shall I use you as a pillow?"

[27_53]

"You could sprawl upon me as a pillow again, perhaps not quite the same sprawl as before...I tend to sleep very soundly when you are doing that, and we should set off before TOO long..."

But a solid nap will not hurt.

[brave_kreyu]

"I think I can sprawl a little less," she replies. She scoots over on the bed so he can lay down. "Keep you from sleeping TOO soundly."

She chuckles. "I never used to look forward to sleep as much as I do now, with you."

[27_53]

After joining her on the bed, he settles in and allows her to use his shoulder as a pillow, bringing his hand up to idly stroke his fingers through her hair.

"I...I was much more nocturnal," he says after a long moment of thought. "Easier to move about without getting seen, when it was dark."

(Easier to find food in dumpsters that has only just been thrown out by a restaurant closing crew, don't have to dig as far down in the pile. Easier to hide and find a place to rest when the whole world is in shadow.)

[brave_kreyu]

"That makes sense," she replies, voice soft, leaning into his touch. There is a pang of sadness in her heart about him feeling the need to move about unseen, then. "And you would have great advantage over most at night, with your sight and your hearing."

She runs her fingers through his feathers, holds him close. "I have explored the wonders of the night less than those of the day," she muses. "Perhaps we will discover some together on our travels."

[27_53]

"My sight is much more keen at night," he agrees. "My eyes had to adjust a bit to adapt to the brightest hours of the day, but since those were often the hottest as well...we did good to stay indoors."

His feathers flex beneath her touch, wings shifting. "I look forward to discovering many things with you, at all hours." There's a hint of teasing in his tone, but he is going to be Good as they cannot get up to too much 'trouble' if they expect to nap.

[brave_kreyu]

She laughs. "All hours of the day and night," she says, a hint of teasing in her tone.

"But we will behave for now," She nuzzles his shoulder. "Not scandalize our fellow patrons by making you scream my name in ecstasy."
