much much...much much much later

[hoasen]

[Sanguis moon has passed, meaning certain people are now their good old regular selves. Which means whatever feelings of territorial possession has passed. Meaning that certain people are due in for a talk.

Which makes sense, she was thinking about it.

So she's back at Samatoki's place again, and she knocks on the door. This time, she's brought sustenance (homemade snacks).

Also, she's not going to call out to him because he might know it's her and try to leap out the window. Honestly, she's not sure what to expect.]

[coasts]

[ Samatoki faces his problems head on. He doesn't really come up with plans all that often, but considering how delicate this subject is, he feels like he has to.

With him not having any wolf-like characteristics anymore, amongst other traits—physical and mental—he decides to try and fix things. He's just not sure how, and Vietnam catches him without a plan yet in his own apartment. ]

I'm goin' out to buy some groceries, you comi— [ He's interrupted as he sees who's at the door. He thought it was Riou, but turns out, it's somebody else. Ah. ]

. . . hey.

[hoasen]

[Looks like they both are on the same page about this, other than the fact that she decided to tackle it as soon as she's able. Which, considering it's her, is rather quickly. Because what else can they do other than talk it out? She could be nervous about many things, but when push comes to shove, there she is.

Looks like he wasn't free, however.]

Oh! [She looks at him, eyes wide at the words before "hey".] Were you about to go shopping? I didn't mean to interrupt. [Especially since it sounded like he was going to meet someone.]

[coasts]

Thought you were Riou.

[ He moves to the side so she can come in if she wants. While the situation's a little awkward for him, he doesn't feels uncomfortable. Samatoki feels like he doesn't need to apologise to her, but they should maybe. . . talk about what happened. ]

S'fine, I can go later. The store's open 24/7, anyway.

[hoasen]

That's right, he's next door. When is he coming by? I'll make sure to not hold you up. 24/7 is one thing, buying stuff before it's all out is another.

[Guess they had a plan to go out later for shopping. Still, she steps in, adjusting her items, because indeed they have to talk. His place still looks the same, even if the memory of what they did to it floods back.

She blushes before clearing her throat.]

I brought snacks. [She quickly holds it up, all in it's baked glory.]

[coasts]

We didn't plan anything. Just thought he was the one at the door. Nobody visits me but him.

[ And Vietnam now, anyway...

His eyes widen just a little at her bringing snacks. It's a subtle change in his expression that it doesn't betray his stoic look. Good. He still looks cool. ]

I'll get plates. Sit anywhere.

[hoasen]

Nobody visits? I'm sure more than one does.

[Hint hint, herself.

He looks surprised at her snacks, but she wants to give him some okay!]

Alright! [She goes to sit down on the dining table because that's the proper place, and starts to set out the containers. What did she bring? Savoury pies, some cookies, and cream puffs.]

[coasts]

Fine. You and Riou.

[ There!! He fixed it... are you happy, Vietnam?

It doesn't take long for Samatoki to grab plates and forks and knives for both of them. The dining table is in the kitchen too so it's not like they're away from each other for long. And even though he doesn't say anything, he finds the silence to not be awkward. That's a good sign, if anything. ]

Thanks. What're the snacks for?

[hoasen]

Wonderful.

[She's happy now!!

She watches him as he works to get their cutlery, waiting patiently for him as she opens the containers.]

I'm coming over to visit, no? I have to bring something. Besides, you did so much to help me before.

[That includes those days. Because even while they decided to desecrate his entire place, he was still housing her in case her legs changed.]

[coasts]

Guess so.

[ He scratches the back of his head before sitting down in front of her. ]

Would've visited you, but I have no idea where you live.

[hoasen]

[She waits for him before she starts moving pieces of food over to his plate.]

I understand, I should've given you my address, which I will later. Either way, I knew I had to come after we became lucid.

[coasts]

Ah, yeah.

[ Vietnam is being a lot more forward than he expected over this. Right. ]

The moon really fucked us up, huh?

[hoasen]

Mmm.

[Someone has to be considering this. It was the only way.]

In a way. I'm normally not that forward.

[coasts]

[ Bless her! She's doing a good deed for all mankind-- wait, what. ]

I'm normally not that— whatever. [ He'd prefer not to explain how he is. Hopefully, she gets it. ] The stuff I said? About you being mine an' shit, you can just forget about it, alright?

[hoasen]

[Yeah that.

Oh, she understands, as she starts to pick at a pie herself.]

Mmm, are you saying you cannot handle such responsibility, now? [She's joking.] No, I understand. I felt this...urge to keep you to myself during that time. Make you mine, as one would say. So I think it is fair to say it is the moon. [Not that she doesn't throw those terms when she's being intimate, because she does, but that's another detail for another moment.] So I guess it's better we clear the air now, no?

[coasts]

[ Joke or not, he's already choked on the small bite he's put in his mouth. Thanks. ]

What— No! Whatever responsibility I've gotten myself into while I was some kinda wolf, I'll take it. [ He gets back up to grab a glass of water for his guest and then for himself. ] Just rude, that's all, to say you own a woman.

[ Once he's sat back down, he looks away, unsure of where to begin. He's usually a lot less careful when it comes to situation, but it feels like this is fragile. At least, that's how it comes off to him, anyway. ]

You want me to go first, or do you wanna?

[hoasen]

[Oh dear, should she reach over to rub his back!]

Ah, I mean, I'm touched, truly. [That he was that responsible. That even when they literally had a marathon (hmm), he took care of her throughout.] I'm not so easily owned, but I allowed it at the time.

[She straightens up and folds her hands in front of her.]

You can go first. [She has this feeling he has a lot to say too, from how he leapt up onto his feet. She's a patient woman.]

[coasts]

Lookin' back now, I said a lotta shit that doesn't sit well with me now.

[ Just like how he said he owned her and how possessive he was. He's glad the two of them have the chance to clear the air and she's not actively avoiding him. She did allow it, she consented, but it bothers him now that he's in a better state of mind. ]

But, uh, it looks like you're fine, but I just wanted to know if I hurt you then or somethin'. Last thing I wanna do is hurt a woman. I promised that to myself. I gotta treat you right, you know, for sex an' outside of it an' all.

[ who let samatoki talk he's not making sense ]

[hoasen]

Well, a lot of the time we were driven by...heat of the moment?

[Was it just heat of the moment? She felt a lot more angry at times back then. Like she was the Incredible H*** or something. Still, time to listen. He's also rambling which she could understand. She does the same when she starts to panic.]

No it's...it's fine. You didn't hurt me. I'm quite strong, even normally. And I heal fast too. The bites didn't last a day. [Sorry...] Anyway, you did treat me right, truly. You let me into your home, let me use the shower, clothed me. We just...got i-intimate along the way. [Okay, now she's losing her calm.] A-and I know! Since you're the type to take care of others, and even with all your claims, you don't have to be responsible for me. If you thought that by saying such things then, you'd have to. I understand.

[coasts]

[ More like it was just heat.

With Vietnam rambling too, he can't help but let out a laugh. It's not at her he's laughing at, but with the huge wave of relief off his shoulders from talking like this, he's pretty happy. ]

So you're fine with everything?

[ By which he means if she's not mad at him. ]

[hoasen]

[HEAT.

She can't help it! But his laugh sounds lovely, so now she fiddles with the tips of her hair.]

Yes. Strange thing to admit, but despite it all, I really enjoyed myself.

[Mental AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.]

HELP

[coasts]

[ Oh my god he's so bold. Samatoki's cheeks flush pink JUST A LITTLE at her comment. ]

Yeah, me too.

[ WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CONVERSATION ALDJALFJAL ]

You wanna do it again some time?

NO HELP ME!!!

[hoasen]

[No he is for asking such a question.

She splutters, for a moment, before her hands reach her lap, gripping onto the fabric of her clothes. GOD.]

Well...I don't mind. Even outside of the moon phases.

[Her voice was quieter, for once, and she did imply they can get dirty any time. Wow.]

[coasts]

[ oh. Well. He only asked that because he wanted to know that she was fully okay with it all. That she'd want to have sex with him even if she wasn't under the spell of Sanguis. But her saying more is... ]

Yeah, I— [ ... not expected. ] Yeah.

Same.

[ He's gonna die. She's killing him. ]

[hoasen]

[And it turns out she was, because if they had already had an actual sex marathon, then why stop something they already started?

Even if it was very wild. She blushes deeply when he reciprocates the idea. Especially since it's not during the moonphases.

She stands up.]

Then can I try something? Don't worry, it won't lead to anything today.
