The sigh against her skin sends goosebumps over every inch of her, instinctively winding her hand into his hair at the nape of his neck. For such a small person, at least compared to him, her hold was firm, keeping him as close to her as possible. His heat was intoxicating. He was intoxicating.

“I would give you my all,” she admits, shuddering and arching her back slightly when he touches her tail, hand tugging his hair gently in response. She lets out a pleased noise much to her embarrassment.

She had fallen for him long ago. The two were rarely ever apart, traveling side by side ever since she invited him to stay with her. A decision she never regretted.

As much as she hated to pull him away, to have cold fill the void between them once more, she needed to look him in the eyes. Both hands cup his face again, fingers delicate against his skin.

“And… I mean my all,” her thumbs stroke his cheeks. “I can guarantee whatever it is you’d like to do, I am happy to receive.” Hopefully he understood exactly what she meant.

“I am the same,” she looks down to his lips, running her thumb across the lower. She too is famished. Craving him for so long but always afraid to act.

“I am yours.”

She shivers under his touch, under his gentle barrage of kisses, a warm sigh escaping her lips. Never had she felt such a sensation before. A growing but delicate heat from each kiss left cold as he moved on. She can’t help but to lean into him as his lips tickle her collarbone.

The hand on her hip gives her a sense of stability, of security. And Twelve, does he have large hands. It completely engulfs her side and the thought makes her core burn hotter. At this rate she wonders if their body heat will melt the ice and snow around them. But, that’s a concern for another time..

When he stopped and growled at himself, she quickly looked down to assess the situation, noting his ears. Ears which she moved her hands to rub at the base of. Her attempt at comforting him.

She smiles as their foreheads touch.

“Xivrus, I don’t think there’s a single boundary you could cross right now,” she admits, averting her gaze in embarrassment yet again. But it doesn’t last long. Her lips are back on his in a matter of moments, slow and languid.

“But… if there’s a boundary I shouldn’t cross, please let me know,” she offers after her show of affection. Her hands linger on his chest, feeling the radiating warmth from him. She’s certain she has just as much heat coming from her.

What she was really nervous about, was if he could feel the heat growing in her core as she hovers over his lap. But she can’t be nervous for too long. Any moment she was apart from his lips was too long. Too lonely. She wants to stay connected to him.

They didn't have much reason to be here other than the fact that A'xivrus had suggested they come to see something that he labeled as dear to him. But, ah... a blizzard was beginning to roll through the area and their current position was not near any form of shelter or suitable cover.

Personally, he was fine. His body adapted to weather conditions, scales moving and adjusting depending upon the temperature. Currently they stacked on top of themselves, a layer across his entire body that provided insulation, trapping his body heat to create a cycle of self-heating and invigoration.

But, Chigusa here... she was petite, holding very little body heat. He could not let her freeze in such weather conditions, as the temperature dropped to dangerously low levels, the wind nipping at their skin through their clothes. Fire-imbued blade met frozen ice as he carved an opening into the side of an ice boulder, a small one that, from the looks of it, could really only fit one person. It certainly wasn't tall enough for him.

He took off his coat and wrapped it around her, pausing briefly, “If this is uncomfortable for you, I apologize, but I will not let you freeze. Bear with me until the blizzard passes.”

He'd place his Paladin shield upon his back as he pushed into the hole, scales readjusting to expose his chest and arms as he guided Chigusa into the tight enclosure with him. The shield upon his back would block any ice that might fall on the two of them. He held the other close, his body heat enough to warm both of them even as his ears flattened and he let out a shuddered breath due to the wind that battered his arm.

As long as she did not freeze... he would be fine.

Her eyes flit to his when she hears the change in his breathing, only to dart away and chew the inside of her lip as she waiting for his response. She was able to see his nod from the edge of her vision, resulting in her looking back in his eyes and fighting every impulse to look away.

She shifts and stands on her knees, slightly trembling hands reaching up and gently cupping his face before she presses her lips to his as softly as possible.

Her nervousness isn’t a reflection of how she feels towards doing this with him, it’s more a shyness and general inexperience.

She had an idea what these colors on him meant and it excited her, embarrassed her, gave her a sense of happiness. Of warmth. Maybe this blizzard was a blessing in disguise.

It feels like a thousand thoughts are racing through her mind, trying to parse her feelings on what she wants to do next. Well, she knows what she wants to do. But also is acutely aware that there's no going back from it, should she do it. The inner conflict can almost be seen in her face. She can't even maintain eye contact with him.

There's a few moments of silent contemplation before she suddenly shifts, straddling his lap. Another few moments pass as she works up the courage. Tries to, at least. Twelve, she so much smaller than him. He's taller than any au ra she's ever seen. And...maybe it was some primal instinct, but she loves it. It's not often that she's allowed to be vulnerable, physically or mentally.

"Can I..." she REALLY can't look him in the eyes now. Her face bright pink. "...kiss you...?" The words were barely audible from her lips. She was a nervous person, but few have ever seen it to this extent.

Emet selch should get brought back every expansion for 10 mins bc it would make him miserable and it would be really funny

"If...you are comfortable here.. So am I," she admits. Her roundabout way of asking to stay like this. Had au ra a version of purring, she would be doing so. Instead, she continues to stay curled up. Feeling protected and secure in a way she hadn't experienced before. But it was...oddly familiar in a sense.

Tears prick her eyes when the realization hits. She hadn't felt so warm and cared for since Haurchefant so many years ago. When she had really just started her adventure.

Within moments, her arms are wrapped around his neck, burying her face against him and she holds him tight.

"You're not allowed to die on me, okay?" It may seems as if it came from no where, but she couldn't bare to lose another warm soul like his. "I mean, I know the blizzard won't kill us, but.." She settles back in his lap and holds one of his hands in both of hers. It's an odd habit of hers, but one would know if she had romantic intent towards them if she touched or played with their hand.

Now holding his hand in her lap, one of her hands goes to his chest to feel for a heartbeat.

*stumbles out of the rythm game covered in blood*

[bloomingscales]

Is there a tea kettle whistling somewhere? No? It's just the noise ringing in her head of absolute embarrassment and delight? Like a school girl shrieking over her crush! And...was he...blushing?! She presses her hands to her cheeks, almost like she's trying to physically push the redness away.



It's when he mentions gifting something to her parents that they lift off of her cheeks and she takes his hand to stand. "Y-you don't have to do that, it's okay--"



She immediately shuts up when she sees the flower, completely giving up on trying not to blush at this point. There was no holding it back. Not after this! That tea kettle noise? Yup, still blasting through her head. Her tail flicks behind her.

"Y..yes," she offers a smile and gently takes his hand, already starting to teleport to the Black Shroud.

"I mean it," she offers with yet another round of blushing, dropping her bangs to pull her hair over her shoulder and nervously toy with the strands.

"Of course!" She breaks out of her nervous habit with a smile. "I love them dearly. My father's name is Hozan, he was a craftsman in Sui-no-Sato. My mother is Ferrin, a daughter of merchants. She and my father would often travel to Kugane. Him in search of supplies, her to find vendors outside of Gridania, and the eventually met! But, it's quite funny. My father is the meek and mild one, while mother has the personality of...well... Let's just say it's fiery. If there was one of them to be afraid of, it would definitely be her!"

She's smiling as she reminisces about her family back in the lush forests.

"They are kind people and I am lucky to have them as my parents. I try to visit every so often, especially with me being the only child. They worry and as years pass, I know my time with them dwindles."

There's a sad glint in her eyes at her last comment, fingers returning to brushing her mildly uncouth hair over her shoulder.

[bloomingscales]

Here she was...a vaunted warrior of light curled up in the arms of a dear one...and loving it immensely. Were her cheeks rosy from the cold or from blushing so hard?

...Both.

She rests her tail on her lap, feeling the worst of the cold biting at the tip. Any longer and she swears it would have fallen off.

Her hands carefully hold onto his arm, trying to warm it with some aether, though it probably wasn't too effective against the howling cold. She nestles up against him with a shiver before relaxing, sighing as he's already made her much warmer than moments ago.

"Thank you, Xivrus," she places a kiss on his cheek. This is the coziest she's ever been during a storm, she thinks. "I still want to see what we came to see. But...maybe after the worst of this has passed. I'm...comfortable right here."

Okay. She's going to melt into a puddle any second at this rate. Having someone to be always by her side? Sure, the Scions were a form of family but this felt more...intimate.

"Are you sure you won't grow tired of me? I might become quite annoying after a while," she attempts to joke, trying to stifle her rising body temperature, especially after his touch.

She can't stifle the giggle at his adorable ear twitch, though.

"That...would be nice," she admits, smiling again at the thought of returning home. The thought of her parents' reaction to such a large miqo'te makes her laugh to herself. "I could show you the small waterfall I used to play in as a child."

"I mean it," she offers with yet another round of blushing, dropping her bangs to pull her hair over her shoulder and nervously toy with the strands.

Which Tarot Card Are You? — The Moon 

You avoid corners and doorways - do you know why? Have you looked inwards recently? Do you understand what is happening there? Your mind is muddled and dusty, a mirror you haven’t been able to clean properly. Smudging the nervousness just leaves streaks on the glass, which makes your face harder to see, which makes you nervous. What are you nervous of, darling? What keeps you up at night? Why haven’t you confronted it? Do you know what it is? Can you answer my questions? Are they making you nervous? Am I frightening you?
