HOTARU
the valkyrie
Her grin molds against his neck as she withdraws, charmed by his complaining. "Don't go thanking the gods when I'm right here darling." Though she twirls the handcuffs around one finger briefly before she lets them drop to the side of the bed. Casting her gaze to him impishly. "Are you saying you couldn't have broken out though? Perhaps you need to spar some more." As she rolls sideways off him she pinches at his bicep gently, glad that much like her he isn't awkward at all in the aftermath.
She follows his lead in cleaning, a twist of her fingers creating new undergarments as her last ones were a little...well, damp. Not great for sleeping in after the rush was gone. Hotaru doesn't mind the idea of leaving, though she lounges comfortably on the bed until he joins her, not exactly reluctant but taking her sweet time. Only for him to change her plans entirely, warm calloused hands reaching for her and grabbing with a tenderness their previous hours hadn't contained.
Whether she can sense the depths if what he's asking for or not, she doesn't comment on it. Instead tilts her head to nestle against his collarbone, content for him to use her as a warm body to cling to. "Of course." Because it doesn't need to be anything more than that. As he'd said - no expectations.

i have stood for thousands of years
and have not faltered
and have not faltered
the day i met you...
my legs shook
