just a deck of cards, two fold-out chairs, and the ghost of his wife

[layback]

Date & Time: backdated to near the beginning of the bodyswap!
Location: Rin's apartment
Characters: Rin & Vanadi
Summary: Vanadi is affectionate and drunk, but it's a little weird to try and cuddle with your own body. :[
Warnings: n/a, will update if needed

[ Steph had been kind to escort him this far, but he'd waved her off (with many thanks, naturally) before facing the door to Rin's apartment.

He can't remember who her roommates are, and there's no databank in his brain to scan for the information. Are they the type to stay out late? Because late, it definitely is. Or do they go to bed early? If he knocks, he may wake them up. It may be someone other than his own face that answers the door.

That, he decides, wouldn't be such a bad thing. He knocks sharply, and leans against the door frame afterward. Just to make sure he won't, you know, fall over. Rin's lovely body doesn't need any bruises. ]

Comments

[failvenger]

That was one kiss! Deal fulfilled.

[layback]

But... [ He sinks into a good pout, leaning back a little further. ] It wasn't much of one. It was only starting.

[failvenger]

But we did kiss.

[layback]

But... [ argument, he needs an argument, a really convincing one

too bad he can't think of any. ] ...Riiiiinnnn...

[failvenger]

[Okay, NOW she'll put her arms around him in a hug.]

[layback]

[ There's a weird second where he's not entirely sure what to do with that, before he sighs and leans in again, resting his chin on her shoulder. Anything is better than nothing.

And as long as he's here, may as well ask a curiosity that's been running around in his head recently: ] Rin... I think... my libido has gone down. Slightly. Only a little. Does that mean yours is up?

[failvenger]

Why are you asking me these questions...

[She rubs his back a little. Gosh, her body is easy to cuddle. The advantages of being tiny.]

[layback]

I'm only wondering! I'm new to being in an attractive woman's body, you see. I'm not entirely sure what I ought to be expecting.

[failvenger]

Is this going to end in you... you wanting to try your libido out?

[layback]

Oh... [ He considers that, aiming a thoughtful frown out over her shoulder. ] Maybe. Well. Yes. But I think that will happen regardless. Mm... wanting to, I mean.

[failvenger]

You're so... ridiculous. [Though she actually smiles as she says it.]

[layback]

[ He glances over, smiles back reflexively, and sighs. ]

I am going to have a lot of sex when I've my own body back.

[failvenger]

You have fun with that. [Dry, but she pulls him in again, encouraging him to rest his chin on her shoulder and rubbing absentmindedly over his back. It's nice to be touched. It's nice to get comfort, and to give it.]

[layback]

[ No objections here. He leans in again, both arms draping over her shoulders comfortably. ]

I will! I'll very likely have a lot of fun. And some with Steph, I hope... [ That comes out a little dreamily, as sleepiness is once again sinking in. ]

[failvenger]

I hope you're careful.

[layback]

Mm, do you mean with condoms? Because I've a great deal of them all around, but it's very nice of you to be concerned.

[failvenger]

Well in general. [Tugging at a piece of hair.] Yeah, with that too... could you even have a baby with a human being?

[layback]

No, we can't interbreed... [ He sounds distinctly pleased about that, even sleep-slurred as it is. ] Although, I don't think I would be surprised to learn that I couldn't have a baby with another kitrite, either. She did all sorts of things to me...

[failvenger]

[Kind of a throat-clenching moment there. She strokes over his back again. Oh, Vanadi.]

Why?

[layback]

Just because.

[ A pause, and he laughs. He doubts he would be saying this usually, but between the haze that his mind is and the comfort of this backrub, it's hard to shut himself up. ]

Well, no, it was experimental technology, and it had to be tried somewhere... but that always sounded very much like "just because" to me.

[failvenger]

Well... me too. [She shuts up. If it would hurt him too much to give the answers, she doesn't want to push. This secret of his isn't hurting anyone except him, after all.

She lets it go quiet. Stroking over him patiently still.]

[layback]

[ No matter how much alcohol is involved, there's still a difference between answering questions and outright volunteering information. So with no more questions, he falls silent himself.

For a while, anyway. Eventually: ] May I stay here tonight?

[failvenger]

[Well, it's the same for her. If he's not in his right mind it's not - fair, anyway.

Rin never volunteers.]

Yeah.

[layback]

[ Hopefully: ] With you?

[ don't make him sleep on the couch, pls don't ]

[failvenger]

You can have my bed.
