koel tryin' to take what's lost and broke and make it right In a weird way, Koel was back in his element. Sure, they’d been transported into some horrifying world which seemed both barren and hostile, and sure his people were terrified (although some were morbidly curious) but exploring unknown and potentially dangerous terrain was something he was well familiar. Whatever terrors lurked out there—and surely there were terrors a plenty in such a blighted looking land—he would find them, study them, and hopefully neutralize them if he could. It would be a bit harder without proper supplies and tools, but he’d manage. |

@edrei would find her grin met by one of Koel’s own: this was silliness incarnate—for him at least—and he didn’t really mind a bit of playful banter, out of place as it felt in this generally barren landscape. Of course, the fields were a more vibrant location than most inside the bubble they found themselves in, and perhaps he was feeling the call of the wild a bit. Or perhaps it was because they’d been rudely interrupted last time, just when it was getting good. Koel had precious little goodness in his life. Therefore, he’d be a fool not to seek it where he could.
That didn’t mean he was going to let her get away with blatantly slandering him. [say]”My memory is fine, but it seems your technique could use a little work.”[/say] His voice dropped to a husky drawl as he gave her a lazy wink. [say]”It’s called foreplay. You’ll learn the value of it once you learn more than the basics.”[/say] Yeah, he wasn’t above a little bit of pettiness or above calling back to their earlier conversation. As for distractions, well, she was certainly an effective one. It helped that she was about as subtle as a punch in the genitals when it came to her intentions and her actions. Honestly, sometimes it was refreshing. Other times, however, it was annoying; that was the case with her sullen response to his own closed off reply. Truth be told, he really didn’t want to talk or think about Eris right when they were on the cusp of something here (whatever it was), but Edy seemed to put her foot in her mouth on a regular basis. Koel could sympathize, but on this particular topic he wasn’t going to let it slide. Raising his eyebrows, he gave her that same flat stare, although this time there was perhaps a hint of anger in his voice. [say]”Is that so?”[/say] She didn’t seem to realize that her actions had consequences—and that her words, however unintentional, could be hurtful—but that was probably a consequence of her age. Rarely did Koel feel old, but as he gazed upon her, with all the vigor and fire of youth, he suddenly felt his age and more. Taking a deep, shuddering breath, he tried to ignore his lingering sadness over the death of his love and focus on the here and now. This, here and now, with Edy, was odd but oddly enjoyable. He wasn’t betraying anyone by leaning into it and having a good time. As she spoke of being here before, he found himself agreeing. Yeah, they had, and Koel was tired of waiting. If this was a repeat of their previous encounter, then so be it: that basically gave him free reign to pick up where they’d left off. As she pulled her face towards hers, he let it happen. In fact, he responded in kind. Stepping forward confidently, he pressed his body against her. One hand came to rest on Edrei’s hip as the other cupped her face so he could meet her lips with his for a hungry kiss. If getting transported to a whole new world didn’t give him perspective and encourage him to occasionally throw caution to the wind, he didn’t know what would. Words seemed unnecessary in that moment. the Rapacious

Edy grinned and immediately shook her head. [say] "Oh you want to talk about foreplay? Tell me more about how you did...anything other than just sit there with a drink in your hand."[/say] She chimed brightly, her white teeth snarling through her smile. [say]"Typical man."[/say] Edy continued playfully, scrunching her nose at him in mock disdain. [say] "Thinking that getting hard counts as them doing their part."[/say] Tsking under her voice the teenager kicked a small rock in her path with the sort of youthful I-can't-be-still-ness for which Edy was known.
[say]"mmhmmm."[/say] Edy answered easily, missing the annoyance and flare of anger in Koel's tone. Edy might be blunt with her intentions, but Koel was anything but. If he wanted her to stop, he'd need to say so. Having never experienced so much as a crush before, the teenager was woefully in the dark when it came to whatever it was Koel must have been feeling. He was either over Eris or he wasn't, and at the moment his signals were mixed and crossed and all sorts of complicated. Fuck sake. Even his shaky breath was confusing; was the old man having a heart attack or trying to cool his jets? As he moved to meet her Edy felt that familiar and oh-so pleasant rush of heat and adrenaline course through her body. The only thing that ruined the sensation of his lips against hers was the way he cupped her face. The gesture was altogether too delicate and ... romantic for her tastes. With a grin that his lips would easily feel, Edy moved to place her hands on his shoulders, simultaneously swatting away the hand that had come to rest against her cheek. With easy athleticism, Edy pushed down on his shoulders and sprang upwards, meaning to lift herself up into his arms and wrap her legs around his waist. She was light and he was strong, and there was no better combination than that. With no hesitation Edy's movements were fuelled by unfettered and easy desire. There was no slow exploration of her lips upon his, but an immediate devouring of everything that she could get her hands (or mouth) on. Her arms would tangle around his neck and her strong legs would cinch herself against him, as her tongue expertly sought to weave and dance against his, her every action minutely focused solely on riling him up.

The follies of youth were apparent in @edrei: there was no need for him to do anything when she practically (and pretty much literally) fell into his lap. In fact, he hadn’t even been looking for anything when he showed up at her doorstep—quite the opposite, since he’d come to apologize. Then one thing had lead to another, and here they were, bickering and bantering as if they knew each other well. They didn’t, but clinging to anything that felt familiar felt necessary in the face of so much unknown. Plus, if it was true that he’d done nothing, that didn’t exactly reflect well on her. [say]”A patient hunter knows how to use bait, set traps, and lure his prey to him. A novice actually stalks it.”[/say] He could keep turning this around on her. Indeed, Edy would do well to remember his penchant for wordplay. Just because he wasn't educated didn't mean he wasn't clever in his own way.
Winking at the woman, he then grinned broadly. [say]”But let’s say I really was just a useless lump that. If that's the case, you musta been pretty desperate to jump my bones.”[/say] A wicked gleam formed in his eyes. [say]”Did tha roight proper lady want ta roll in ta hay wi’ a commoner?”[/say] It wouldn’t be the first time that a blueblood had wondered and wandered; however, in this particular case, Edy was anything but a right proper lady. Actually, if there was something that was the complete and totally antithesis of that, it was her. As she swatted his hand away and jumped up, he easily caught her and held her in his arms, wrapped around her. His palms splayed across her lower back as his fingertips began to trace patterns there; they tightened as he deepened the kiss, suddenly ravenous for more. Perhaps the roll in the hay would be more apt than he realized. The setting wasn’t ideal, but he’d see where this took them. For now, he would simply carry her. She was pretty light—and he was quite strong, even stronger than he looked—which meant he could keep this up for a while, especially since she so clearly knew what she was doing. Her legs around him and her hands and her darting tongue were indeed riling him up; he just wanted to return the favor, if he could, by leaving her hungry for more. It had been a while, but this wasn’t something anyone forgot. the Rapacious

The hunting metaphor just made the teenager roll her eyes. If this was @Koel being clever, she preferred when he was just being his stupid self. [say] "Again, last time I checked, you did come to me. I don't remember stalking much."[/say] She quipped, crinkling her nose.
His wink however made her grin in earnest, and she beamed up at him. [say] "I seem to remember something about a group called Maybe Edy Needs Some Action?"[/say] Smiling ear to ear, she playfully bounced her eyebrows as she shrugged her slender shoulders in a completely feigned display of coyness. [say] "This isn't the 'but you didn't take me out for dinner first', speech, is it?"[/say] She joked. The reappearance of his accent had the teenager's face nearly split in two. Even Edy couldn't have quite said why it made her laugh so, but laugh she did. [say] "Nah. You broke one of my bones. Thought I'd return the favour." [/say] She continued with a playful trill and toss of her head. Edy arched her back into his hands, happily kneading and licking and biting all that she could get her hands and mouth on. But then ... Something tickled in the back of her mind. Something she couldn't quite name or put a finger on. Edy normally didn't give much thought to situations like this, but there was something she felt– –or rather she didn't feel. Pulling back, colour high in her cheeks and her eyes sparkling slightly, Edy leaned back in Koel's arms to fix him a curious stare. Saying nothing, she just scanned the lines of his face for a moment, her dark eyes narrowing slightly as they returned back to Koel's blues.

It was hard to argue with that. Which is why he wouldn’t; instead, he would change the course of the conversation to something that wouldn’t make him come across as foolish. Or rather, he’d be silly in a different way. [say]”I came to apologize, not womanize, which you know right well. But I suppose once you decided to tantalize me I decided that the risk of doing something that would scandalize your neighbors was worth it if I got the chance to exercise.”[/say] Yes, maybe it was dumb, and yes, maybe she’d claim victory, but the longer he kept this up, the less he’d have to think about the odds they were facing. Survival in this new world was tough, it seemed.
Stroking his chin in a feigned thoughtfulness he gazed off to one side to complete the image. [say]”Hmmmm. Nahhhh doesn’t ring a bell. Don’t worry though. Such a memorable expression nevertheless seems appropriate.”[/say] He was particularly proud of that last statement, though it was a lot more subtle than their previous attempts. As she mentioned the usual pre-courtship rituals people usually engaged in, he immediately responded in as vapid a tone as he could manage. [say]”But you didn’t take me to dinner first!”[/say] Even he was surprised by how shallow it sounded, and he chuckled and continued in his regular voice. [say]”Can’t say I mind skipping straight to dinner.”[/say] When she brought up the broken bone that had gotten them into this situation to begin with, he tilted his head to one side—a rather birdlike motion—and grinned. [say]”Ah. I see. So you’re boning me in return, then?”[/say] Again, his wit pulled through for him; he wasn’t good at a lot of things, but turning phrases was always something he’d been good at. He had to be, to get one over on the people he regularly came into contact with. As she pulled away, he growled deep in his throat and his arms tightened for just a moment, hugging her close. Still, he let her go, hard as it was; as they stared into each other’s eyes, he was slightly ashamed and very surprised to find himself panting somewhat. This was the most action he’d gotten in years—close to a decade, even—and having it denied to him at the last moment was almost more than he could bear. In fact, this was worse than not kissing her to begin with. Before he just was imagining: now that he’d had a taste, he was becoming downright insatiable. the Rapacious

Right, because you were supposed to be broken-hearted, she almost said, but somehow wisely didn’t. [say] “Ahh yes. Exercise, that’s what you were wanting. I could really tell, what with all that leaning back and not moving you were doing on my couch.”[/say] Edy rolled her eyes and huffed, but even Koel would know her well enough by now to know that it was all an act. Edy roamed that fine line between being bluntly honest, but also veiling a good portion of her actions. It was only when she really tried that her actions were properly veiled; most of the time her fucking around was blatantly obvious. To that fend, though Koel might have been using the Launceleyn girl as a distraction once again–this time for the nature of how they were going to keep surviving and not the death of Eris–Edy was merely doing whatever she felt like. Would it have been different if she knew that her presence in Koel’s life merely served as a temporary respite? Probably not. But it was fine that she didn’t know.
As a blueblood herself and one with access to some of the best tutors (even if she wasn’t the best student), Edy never had to feign cleverness. And so as the odd sentence left the Overseer’s lips, for a moment she just stared at him, her brows knitting together in silent confusion. As it did dawn on her though, Edy’s mouth dropped slightly and her eyes sparkled with delight. [say] “Well shit.”[/say] She breathed, her cheeks puffing up in a grin. For the nothing sort of idiot that Koel seemed to like pretending he was, he wasn’t. Not in the slightest. She still thought him a bit of a moron for breaking her wrist (looking back now it did seem decidedly out of character), but for the most part Edy hadn’t really met anyone yet who was as sharply witty as Koel was while still being fun (here’s looking at you, Loren). At his indignation, Edy cackled and shot a teasing hand out to push against his shoulder. [say] “That is not true. I offered you aged and liquified rye in a precise ratio with ice. Which as you know is not easy to come by. It was basically a liquid dinner. So.”[/say] Shrugging her shoulders, she tilted her chin upwards defiantly. Who was Koel to say whiskey wasn’t a proper dinner? Though the Overseer took the most obvious route to her joke, Edy raised a brow and gave another one of her boney who-am-I-to-say shrugs. [say] “Guess we’ll never know.” [/say] Something was off. Edy still couldn’t put her finger on it, but the way she could feel Koel pull against her, simultaneously feeling the increase in his breathing, made her not want to think about it. Fuck it. Or him. Or whatever. Drawing back close Edy pressed her lips against him with equal parts determination and pleasure. Her body sang against his, athletically coiling around him and pulling and tugging in all sorts of pleasing ways. Her tongue traced curse words inside of his mouth as her hands clawed at the back of his shirt, forcing it up so she could greedily paw at his skin. [say] “Ko–“[/say] She began to moan against him, before she suddenly jerked away. Turning easily in his arms to glance behind her, Edy’s dark eyes scanned the tree line. [say] “Did you hear that?”[/say] She asked, not turning back around. Even so, her Chet rose and fell in steady pulses even as her hands continued to mindlessly knead against the muscles of his back. | |||||||
