to heal a wound, you need to stop touching it
"Mm, I do," Vai agrees with him, her head tilting to the side to expose her neck further to his kisses. Her hands travel down his shoulder blades and the length of his back, and she's just about to give his backside a very enthusiastic squeeze when she hears, rather than feels, the tell-tale splat of a Hel taking its revenge.
It's all she can do not to burst out laughing, mainly because her beau tends to have a bit of a short fuse about this sort of thing. So instead Vai sits herself up, grabs a quick handful of pebbles and stuffs them into the bag, and that's that. "Oh no," she says, "looks like you might need to jump in the shower." And if it's anything like any of their other showers together, getting dirty might be the best thing to happen to him tonight.
