[ Leaning himself in, his flirtatious smile ~~hurting his mouth from the weird and unfamiliar shape it's taking on~~ widening at that momentary surprise on Kaveh's expression and really, it'd be nice to see more of that... ]

Would you lend me one if I said I did?

Because I don't feel like waiting a month for my reward.

[ kaveh leeeeans back, trying to reestablish some space in between them. ] Maybe. It depends on what you have in mind, and what, exactly, the issue is. You're being vague.

Two weeks then, if you're incapable of some patience.

Two weeks. [ he slides out of his lap and into the seat beside him, stretching out on the couch ( and partially over alhaitham ) as he reaches for his sketch book. ] If you're going to read, then I may as well try to get some work done too.

[ No space, only Alhaitham using his larger form to press Kaveh up against that brittle bark. ]

Please help me with the sexual needs you've incited in me, senpai.

[ Looking pointedly at the parts of Kaveh splayed on him for a moment before sighing. ]

Don't let me get in your way then.

[ nani the fuck?! ]

[ sets a hand on his chest and tries to nudge him back... for all the good it's going to do. ] Now's not the time, Alhaitham.

[ smirks from behind his book. ] Don't worry, Alhaitham, you're not in the way.

[ He dips his head down to kiss just under Kaveh's jaw, pleased with the tingle of pleasure it gives him as well. ]

I would make it quick and well worth your time.

[ that oh-so-familiar jolt from the contact has kaveh's breath hitching. d- dammit. he should know better than to take advantage of how that makes them both feel. he tries to push on him again, because they need space, but his strength is failing him, and the promise has him giving it some consideration. ]

A bolt statement. Such confidence... or should I say what cockiness.

I always make good on my word.

[ It's absolutely cockiness, a hand raising to trace the tips of his uncovered fingers against Kaveh's neck next. ]

[ kaveh tips his head back, as if trying to avoid the contact, since it's only making things worse. ] And just how are you going to do that?

[ In retrospect, taking on two missions back to back was fairly ambitious and unlike Alhaitham. But there was an efficiency to be had in tackling two fairly simple-seeming missions in a roughly one week trip, so they'd arranged to take on this Winter segment based one after stopping in the Summer segment to investigate for that quest. ]

[ And well. Things Had Happened that neither of them were planning to address anytime soon. The trip between segments was at least uneventful, and now they were climbing up onto the deck of the abandoned ship as specified by the quest details. Alhaitham has his sword in hand this time, in spite of the seemingly uninhabited area. ]

Sense anything nearby?

Would you like for me to explain to you in detail? I would think it faster to show you.

[ That looks more like an invitation to kiss more of Kaveh's bared neck, which he'll move to do. ]

[ no need to talk about the other quest. it's finished and therefore done & done. ]

[ kaveh shakes his head as he wanders away from alhaitham, mehrak at his side. ] No. But I am curious... if the ship's supposed to be abandoned, then why couldn't he come here and get the materials? It shouldn't be dangerous, right? [ there's got to be a reason, and it's probably lurking below deck. ]

Why are all of these people posting commissions so damn vague?

...no. I think you've run your mouth plenty already. Go ahead and show me, [ kaveh hums as his eyes become lidded, a hand rising to alhaitham's waist. ] but you better make good on that promise or you're going to be punished.

Fuck trees. In numerous senses of the phrase.

It was abandoned by humans. I surmise that it wasn't abandoned by all living beings.

[ His attention sharpens when he hears the sound of movement coming from below their feet, glancing toward the nearest hole in the wood. ]

And unfortunately for us, we don't have any familiarity with the local wildlife.

No? [ it takes a lot to keep from laughing in disbelief. ] Did none of those books you had your nose in tell you anything about the creatures here? [ his eyes drop to the deck as he hears the skittering and he jumps back, catching sight of something disappearing back into the depths. he squints, curious, but not curious enough to stoop down and take a closer look. ]

[ he's playing it safe[r] this time. ] ...well whatever it is we should be able to handle it just fine between the two of us.

Unfortunately, that was the next set of books I'd been planning to read. The previous ones were focused on peaceful creatures.

[ Truly an unfortunate matter of timing. ]

[ At that sudden sound though, he summons out a Chisel Light Mirror to help light the darkness, sending it over with a wave of his hand. ]

Be prepared to retreat as well.

Of course. [ how convenient!!! not that kaveh had done his research. he had instead been finding the best hot spots for food & drink... but that's important too! ]

Alright. [ he follows alhaitham, summoning mehrak to his side in case he needs to pull out his claymore. ] What do you think could be lurking in the depths of an abandoned pirate ship anyway?

Edited 2023-03-21 20:51 (UTC)

Numerous marine wildlife that reside in near-shore or shallow waters would be our most probable culprit.

[ He catches that glimmer of something shining skittering away from the light of his mirror, eyes narrowing as he approaches the hole. ]

If we're unlucky, we're on top of a nesting ground.

... [ kaveh frowns. ] Let's hope not. [ since that's going to mean that 1) this place is going to be crawling with whatever chose to make its nest here and 2) the parents are going to be pissed about the intrusion. ] If we spot anything we should try to steer clear. Avoid provoking it anymore than we already ha- [ kaveh steps back as he, too, sees something skitter beneath the deck. ]

Do we really have to go down there?
