MAEA
A little lump and scrape just above the temple was the only reminder of the cut that had sent blood streaming down her face. It had been significantly reduced by healing, and her concussion reduced to a dull headache, barely noticeable against the other pains. Probably she would have to see another healer come morning, if she wanted to do anything more than rest the few days they had together before she had to return to Halo. But for now, she was content to just stand there and enjoy Sunjata's fingers on her scalp, brushing down her neck in soothing strokes. It was nice, made her feel very pampered, and today... Maea thought she rather earned it. Even though it'd been dangerous and the outcome less good than hoped for, she had still succeeded. Completed her mission to satisfaction. It certainly bolstered her confidence.
Prying open an eye, she looked up at her lover when he admitted to being drunk. Tried to see if this was a permanent state, or just for tonight. 'Okay' was... as questionable as her 'fine' had been, but at least he wasn't downed by the drink. Or anything else. "You know best what you can handle," she admitted. "I might be happier if you didn't smoke so much though... the smell sticks to my clothes." Maea poked his side a little, to see if he was drunk enough to be ticklish. She angled her head up when he leaned down, and tasted the drink on his lips as he kissed her. The smoke. It was indeed stronger than usual, but... well. "At least you've good taste in spirits," she smirked, licking her lips when he withdrew. A little disappointed that it had lasted such a short time.
Meeting his gaze, seeing the brightening of his mood, Maea smiled up at him, her own eyes warm and affectionate as she absorbed his features. Almost hungry, as if she had to get her fill of them now while she had the chance. "Wish I could say the same," she said rather ruefully. "I've very little time to think of anything at all... which is probably for the better, given... certain things. Or I'd give up this whole venture and come home right away."
