xistentia | 2 Truths And A Lie; Daemon: Apollod

I know, right? Mine too.
So busy.

I hope so!
I'm still not confident enough to try making something at home just yet.
I've left most of the cooking to Vanyel, actually...

Extremely so! All the more reason we should get together to catch up.

I'm sure you will get there, if that's your goal. Do you like Vanyel's cooking?

[He can't help but laugh when he reads that; not very loudly, but she might still catch it.]

It's a tough call, but after much deliberation... I'm going to have to guess 3.

you have an interesting idea of what freedom is
and by interesting i mean 'twisted'

call me back when that logic of yours starts making any fucking sense

[ She does hear it, actually, and it makes her smile grow that much more. They're such dorks.

She loves it. She loves him. ]

ding ding ding!!
you are the winner
you should come get your prize

[ Well, that wasn't suggestive at all. ]

i agree!
and i'm conveniently free this weekend, if that works for you

i guess only time will tell
and i do. so the do the dogs.
still, it'd like to be able to provide for us too in some way

it's not for everyone
and i'm not gonna try and explain myself to someone who doesn't want to try and understand
so, yeah
sure
i'll talk to you whenever

Sometime this weekend would be perfect! Should I come to you or would you like to come here?

Providing for your significant other can take on a lot of forms, of course. Alexander and I share cooking duties, though he does handle the majority of any baking that needs to be done. And he always seems to get to the dishes before I do.

What I mean is, there are a lot of ways to find balance. Some of them involve letting your husband do certain household chores so no one fusses over you wasting your magic.

[Oh no, not at all. Nor is the way he doesn't respond to the text, just pads through the house like a dragon on the prowl - though the surprise might be ruined by Zeymahd's skree! of protest when he's removed from Vanyel's lap.

Either way, Vanyel finds her in pretty short order, settles in as close as he can and automatically reels her in for a kiss - then has the nerve, when he pulls back, to ask]

So what is my prize, anyway? [In the most innocent tone and with the most innocent expression he can manage. Like he doesn't have about a billion filthy ideas in his head at any given moment.]

I'll come to you!
I want to scope out your new pad in this place, after all.

I guess I take care of all the animals. That's my big contribution.
They are technically mine to begin with though, so- Not sure it counts?

I do try to help out though.
Never thought I'd be all... domestic and stuff, but. Here we are.

All right! Our place it is. I'll look forward to seeing you and giving you the grand tour.

I would say that counts. But if you feel like you want to do more, then I think that's fair too. Whatever makes you most comfortable, Rose.

It can take some time to settle into domesticity. [ Magnus takes to it like a fish to water, but he is a big ole romantic sap who is head over heels and all. He's been pining for this life for centuries. ] My advice? Give it time. Let yourself take the time.

[ Her sensitive ears pick up that tiny, disgruntled squawk from Zeymahd. He'll find her in the kitchen, inconspicuously sipping tea as she leans against part of the counter top. She sets down the little cup soon as he enters the room and smiles slyly as he winds his arm around her, when their lips meet.

He pulls away and she can't help but give a laugh at that feigned innocence. Of course she knows him much better than that. His mind has likely supplied ideas and then some for what his so-called 'prize' is.

Coincidentally, so has hers. ]

Hmmm, [ she hums, like she actually has to think about it. She'll wiggle to give a little space between them then hoist herself up easily so that she's sitting now on the counter. It puts them at almost the same height and she straddles his waist with her legs now. ] How about a prize we can both enjoy?

I too am glad that you have your abilities given this world.

I suppose I should think of that too, in case the opportunity ever arises.
Which of your powers is your favorite? I don't think I'd go for longevity, strangely enough. Not right away, any rate. I'm young enough that I think I could worry about that later, even a wilting death is the most frightening thing for so many humans.

It'll be awesome!
I might need to ask for decorating tips again, too. Thankfully, our place actually had furniture this time but
I'm still interior design impaired.

[ It's a life Rose enjoys more than she even she realizes she does, but had never thought she'd have so it's. Definitely taking some adjusting. ]

I guess I'm maybe a little impatient that way.
Always think I should just get things easier or be able to handle it fine.
I know it's not true, but it doesn't stop me from thinking it.

My favorite power?
That's a hard one. I like my strength and being able to take down guys twice my size.

But I think I'd have to say my sense of smell is probably my favorite.
It gives me the ability to sniff out cute boys from a mile away.

[ Sorry if you were expecting a serious answer, Barclay. ]

If you want my help, then I'd be happy to give it. I think you're not giving yourself enough credit again though, Rose!

You're not alone, I promise you that. You would think those of us who live a little longer than most would get used to waiting. That patience would come as a natural byproduct of living so long. But I don't think that's the case for many. And that's fine.

Going easy on yourself can be one of the harder things you ever try to do, but if you want my advice? Keep trying.

[ Magnus has some experience with this. And with finding himself in a life he never expected to be living, but enjoys immensely. ]

[He grins when his antics manage to make her laugh, but quickly drops it since it's served its purpose at this point.

Instead, he steals another kiss once she gets herself settled on the counter, letting it linger for a few moments.]

I like that idea. [He murmurs once the kiss breaks, letting his hands trail up along her thighs.] Trouble is, I can think of quite a few things that would qualify. So, what do you suggest?

[ She's happy to let the kiss last long as he wants, smiling as she stays close. She gives a contended sigh at the run of his hands along her thighs, wiggling a little in- Anticipation, maybe? It's no secret how impatient Rose can be once she gets into a mood. ]

Well, I think we both know what my favorite thing is. Though it is your prize, so of course I'd make it worth your while too.

[ Though- ]

I know I should probably consider it more unsanitary than sexy to think about you going down on me right here, but. Is it bad that I still want it anyway?

I know, I knnnooowww
Old habits die hard and all that

But you know I do always appreciate your help too.
And I'll always be grateful for it
Not to get like
super sappy or whatever

That's one of the more relatable adages I can think of.

And I don't mind if you get sappy. I am quite a fan of sappy, actually! I'm glad to have helped you, my dear. I'm glad that I could!

Edited (what the html) 2017-09-04 14:36 (UTC)

okay

[ Sure, put the blame on him. ]

Glad you're still here to help me, honestly.
Because I think we both know it's only a matter of time before I'll need it.

Maybe, maybe not. I have a lot of faith in you, Rose! I'm glad to be here with you, whatever the outcome, okay?

Okay!
o(*^▽^*)o

[WELL MAYBE he was but also he likes this one.]

That sounds extremely excellent. I should request for the ability to sniff out cute boys from a mile away.
