===== LUDE START AGAIN MORE YIS! ===== * Erellisae is sitting at a table in the cabin, eying the little automaton that sits on the table in front of her, and looking quite mortified as it beeps a faintly reproachful beep at her. "Look, I'm sorry...! I didn't /mean/ to knock you downstairs...!" ^^; * Feray idly strides grandly past the room Erel is in....topless. Actually, she seems to notice the smaller girl as she's passing the room and breaks into a hurried rush to get past the door before her little sister see's her half naked. * Erellisae pauses in the process of brushing some of the dust Spud picked up in it's impromptu stuntdive, and looks up, blinking twice. "... sis? Are you walking around the ship with no clothes on?" o_O * Feray skids to a stop outside the cabin and sweatdrops, blushing. "No! I mean, sort of! I went for a swim! And my outfit is -leather-! It's rubbing at my skin and I just thought I'd dash into a room nearby and get naked and take a nap!" * Erellisae grins, glint in her eye as she leans one elbow on the table to watch her sister. "Man, and you only warned /me and Mitsuo/ about the naked yesterday. Tch!" ^_~ * Feray idly keeps her arms crossed over her chest and strides into the cabin fully, eyeing Erel as if the younger girl is a demon. Her top dangles from two fingers idly, dripping water on the floorboards. "...actually, if you count me warning Mitsuo today about the naked, then I guess it was only -today-.." * Erellisae grins, reaching to her side for a towel and offering it to Feray. "C'mon, you know I'm kidding. You spoke to Mits? How's he doin'?" ^^ * Feray arches an eyebrow and eyes the cloth before eyeing the open door. She smoothly jumps up and kicks the door closed with her foot before hurriedly in one-smooth-move reaching out to drop the wet top and grab the towel, covering herself. ....he's alright. A bit....distracted. * Erellisae watches Feray a little suspiciously, biting her lip. "You paused. Pauses aren't good." ^^;; * Feray snorts and squelches her way over beside Erel, flopping down as well. She kicks off her wet boots and they hit the far wall, zooming past Spud narrowly, with a wet squeak. "Ohhhh...you know how it is when you're young and in love.." * Feray leans over to Erel, grinning wryly. Emphasis on the love. * Feray leans back. * Erellisae bliiinks, then blushes, squirming in her seat a little. "W-well... uhm... maybe I might?" ^^; Mmm-hhmmm. Boy, you've got that...uh...boy....thrown through a loop there, little sis. ^_- * Erellisae blinks again, straightening up suddenly. "W-wait, you mean he--", she starts, before looking to the side and blushing heavily again. * Erellisae shuffles in her chair slightly, looking on the verge of saying something but also looking torn. ^^; * Feray tilts her head a bit, synching the cloth around her chest in a makeshift battle bra of sorts. She arches an eyebrow, gazing at Erel. ...what'cha thinkin'? * Erellisae looks down at the floor. "Well... uh... I shouldn't really ask--oh, who'm I kidding?" she mutters, before looking up, blush still creeping across her face. "What'dhesaywhat'dhesay?!" ^_~ * Feray grins a bit but seems fairly reserved, holding back the teasing onslaught for now. "He said you make him crazy in the head. All nervous and stuff. The typical cutesy wootsey loveydovey feelings. So I gave him some pointers." * Erellisae stutters slightly, her curiosity evidently shifting this way and that. "Uhm... uhm... pointers? What'd you say? Got any... for me?" ^^;; * Feray blinks and eyes the bunk in the corner longingly. She stands and heads for it, flopping down. "Hrm....must've slipped my mind! G'night!" She dramatically utters loud snores. * Erellisae blinks. Blinks again. Then makes a panicky strangled sound, flailing as she leans backwards in her chair a little. "H-HEY! No faiir...!" ^^;; * Spud beeps suddenly at the unexpected movement, rolling backwards a little on the table. * Feray rolls her eyes a bit in amusement, slipping under the scratchy bedcovers. She wiggles for a moment and her loincloth flops out of the bed. Thwap. You really want my advice? * Erellisae nods, looking the most unusual combination of panicky and nervous and excited and happy, the blush still evident on her face. "Of course...! I don't have a clue what I'm s'posed to do, I keep worrying I'm too forward..." ^^; * Feray turns a bit, leaning on an arm and gazing at Erel fondly. "...aw, littlebit. He's all smushy inside for you." * Erellisae smiles softly, losing some of the panicky air. "R-really...?" Yeah. Not that I blame him. You seem to be real good at getting under people's skin. No, he really likes you. You should've seen him stumble over his words when I was talking to him. You make him feel all nervous and stuff, but it's a good nervous. It means he really really likes you. * Erellisae curls up slightly in the chair, giggling faintly, her eyes defocusing slightly as she stares off into the distance. "... hee... though... I'll bet I don't help the nervousness by latching onto him..." ^^; * Feray shrugs a little and gets an amused look. "I think it's more that he's not used to it and worries too much on how to respond. He doesn't wanna look like a moron in front of you." * Erellisae blinks, blushing brighter but looking mortified as she straightens slightly. "Aw, c'mon...! I wouldn't think /that/...!" Well yeah, you know that and I know that...but heck, Erel, he's Mitsuo...of course he wants to impress you. ^^; * Erellisae giggles again, leaning back on the chair a little and staring at the ceiling, sighing a little dreamily. "He's done that more than enough..." * Feray rolls her eyes and flops onto her back, placing her arm over her face and rubbing the hickey on her shoulder with her free hand. "Hrmph. Careful there, littlebit, Spud might spark out from all that drooling." * Erellisae blinks, looking across suddenly before flailing as she nearly topples her chair, bringing it under control and eying Feray, sticking her tongue out. "Hmph! Just cuz I happen to really /really/ like him... and cuz he's protected me and made me feel better lots... and... uhm... hey, are you hurt?" o_O Huh? Ah, no. I'm good. Fine, even. ^^; But anyway, yeah, I gave him advice....so it should be okay....-you- should just relax and keep doing what you do...he likes you for you, sis.. * Erellisae sweatdrops slightly, blushing /again/. "Right, cuz I'm always relaxed." ^^; "I'll try though... so, uhm... what'd you tell him about me?" Just that you like him a lot for just being there all the time and that you don't need him to move mountains to get your love because he's mostly already got it. I gave him some minor tips of the more basic stuff. * Feray continues to talk, her arm over her face ^^; And, uh, I told him not to mention the naked. * Erellisae, in the midst of leaning back and sighing dreamily once more, makes a strangled cough sort of noise and pitches over backwards! o_O; A-ackk! * Feray blinks and moves her arm to cast Erel an amusedly concerned look. "He says that that's a bit too fast for him anyway. So you're safe. Deep breaths, sprite." * Erellisae scrabbles to catch the desk and right herself, flushed a bright red as she flails at Feray. "Siiiiisss....!" ^^;; * Feray snorts in amusement and huddles moreso into her bed. "Mmph. I'm not sure what you guys want from me. I'm just a farmer who hunts occasionally who is still recovering from dying and being revived who is on a boat with a buncha crazyheads and happens to be cuddly with a merman whose family would like to tear her limb from limb and eat her for dinner." * Erellisae sobers and watches Feray quietly a moment, standing up from the chair and heading towards her, sitting on the edge of the bed and loosely hugging her. "... don't want anything from you... love you just as you are. And... thanks. Think I needed that advice." ^^; * Feray blinks a bit and utters a soft laugh, returning the hug lightly with one arm. "I know, Erel. Love ya too. I just hope it works out for you, that's all. You're both great people and obviously are crazy for each other." * Erellisae flushes red, giggling as she hides under her hair before eying Feray, the glint back in her eyes. "... so... cuddly with a merman?" ^_~ * Feray snorts a bit, eyebrows raising slightly. "I guess there's no point in denying it now since you caught us in the kitchen, huh??" * Erellisae giggles, eying Feray's clothing drying on the floor before sending a wicked grin Feray's way. "Nuh-uh! Sooo... was it all romantic underwater?" ^_~ * Feray blinks and her eyes widen. "What? Did he s--...er. No. No, just lots of wet dirt and fish and stuff. Nothing romantic at all!" * Feray burrows a bit away from Erel, flushing. * Erellisae grins triumphiantly, pouncing Feray slightly. "I /thought/ so! C'mon! Tell!" ^_~ Ack! Hey now! Watch it there! My arms and legs are aching! ^^;; * Erellisae grins, sitting back next to Feray carefully and watching her with a grin. "Oh, /reallllyyy/?" ^_~ * Feray furrows her brow and reaches out to tug Erel's hair down into her face. "....geez, stop thinking about naked Mitsuo and get your head from the gutter!" * Erellisae gyacks and turns red behind her hair. "Hey now! Turning it back on me is no fair!" ^_~ You started it, littlebit. You're messing with the master. ;) * Erellisae sticks her tongue out with a grin and a flushed face before getting up, doing what she can to stop her hair eating her face and sitting back at the table to eye the poor abused robot, glancing at Feray. "Awww, c'mooon! Doncha think it makes me thrilled to hear about you both?" ^_~ Alright, you want the sordid details? ^_- * Erellisae giggles, poking about at Spud as she nods eagerly. "Of course!" ^_^ * Feray shifts to her side with a wince before resting a head on the inside of an arm, watching Erel with an amused look. "He gave me the 'gift' of breathing underwater. Then we raced a little before I got tired and he offered to give me a tour of the area. So he tied us together and led me down to a plateau of silt where he stuck his finger in it and did a neat trick where he could tell what the land was like just by the soil." * Feray idly seems not to notice she's rambling. * Feray continues. "Then he made me close my eyes and took me down further into this odd heated water vent where we sat and watched this pretty rock spire formation with glittering underwater lights and little explosions that took place..." * Erellisae giggles, knowing exactly what the gift entails, then listening raptly, one ear cocked rather comically towards Feray as she works on cleaning Spud up. We talked a bit about our childhoods and how we both apparently used to spend a lot of our younger days tugging up weeds. ^^; * Erellisae giggles, waggling a finger at Spud. "Hear that, Spud? They have things in common! Always a good sign!" ^_~ * Spud beeps as it's waggled at, rolling slightly on the table. * Feray furrows her brow at that and sticks her tongue out at the petite mage girl. "Pffbt. Anyway....we talked and stuff and ItoldhimaboutsomethingsthathappenedtomewhenIwasyounger and there was kissing and more kissing and uh.." .... Anyway. Then we swam back. * Erellisae flicks her ear slightly as Feray's speech speeds up, then grins toothily at Spud. "Now, see, Spud, whenever sis talks real fast it generally means there's a piece of information or something happens that's really fun to wheedle out of her. So we have to fixate on that." ^_~ * Spud bips, bouncing slightly on a claw-thingy on the table as if it's agreeing. ^_^ * Feray blinks and backs her ears. "Really, you don't want to know! It's kinda.....well...I mean, you're my younger sister and...uh..." * Erellisae grins, watching Feray with a glint in her eyes. "Aw, c'mooon...!" ^_~ * Feray regards Spud idly, wondering if there are batteries or something she could take out of it. Er....alright, c'mere, you. * Feray squishes over against her wall and pats the bed. * Erellisae grins triumphantly briefly, arching an eyebrow at Feray as she moves over and lays next to her. * Feray attempts to look annoyed but fails horridly, waving a bit with her hand. "Anyway....when I was a little younger, I didn't have many friends. Most of my friends were old farmers, really. And every year, after a big harvest, we'd all have this wild festival where people would get drunk and crazy and dance and stuff. It was always a great time. But of course, wine comes from berries and we made ours the old fashioned way." ....we stomped 'em. In a big bucket thing. * Erellisae blinks, her eyes clouding as her imagination gets to work, before she giggles. "That sounds like great fun." ^_~ What, just... jump up and down on them? ^_~ * Feray grins in faint amusement. "Oh sure. Clean feet before you went in, of course, but that's how you'd do it. Anyway, this takes time, of course. So one night while the big bucket thing was in the midst of the town, I was in the tavern drinking with the older guys. I was...uh...a little drunk." * Erellisae raises an eyebrow, grinning faintly. "That sounded like a big of a long pause for a little drunk." Well...it happens to take quite a lot to get me really drunk to be as drunk as I was THAT night......and we were all bragging, trying to out do each other in wildness and boasting....and I began to say that I would do anything anyone dared me to do...that's how I brave I am! Yep. So they dared me something. * Erellisae blinks, then grins. "They dared you to...?" Wellll....that something involved me stripping naked and climbing up onto the rim of the bucket and walking around the rim a few times. While completely naked. In the middle of town. * Erellisae blinks twice in quick succession before giggling quite heavily. "... and ...?" ^_~ And I did it. Or tried to. Stripped down there in the tavern, wandered out and began to climb the bucket. Got onto the rim while they were watching. Began to make my way around... ...until my mother, who happened to be on 'bucket guard duty' that night, came around the corner on her rounds and saw me. * Erellisae blinks, surprised her sis did it before collapsing into giggles at the mention of Triun. "Oh maaan... what happened?" ^_~ * Feray grimaces a bit. "/Well./ She yelled when she saw me and it scared me and I fell into the berries, completely naked and ruining the batch..." * Erellisae tries to stifle the giggles, holding her hands to her mouth. "Oh... heee!... dear... how much trouble'd you get into...?" * Feray eyes Erel. "Aside from being yelled at for quite a while, having my hair and body stink like berries, and ruining the batch? I got my 'party' rights removed, of course. No festival for me THAT year." * Erellisae whines, frowning. "awwww...! no fair! I bet the festival's a lot of fun... you gotta take me sometime!" ^_^ It can get a bit wild....but I guess you could handle yourself, if you don't mind being flirted with relentlessly by old men. ^^; I don't think I could beat up old men. * Feray furrows her brow. * Erellisae giggles, biting her lip with her fang and blushing slightly again. "We'll just haveta take Mitsuo along too, to protect me! And... not at all watch him get drunk again. Hee! Er, no. Not at all." Erellisae snickers quietly, her eyes glinting. * Feray snorts and wags a finger. "I'd hate to have to protect Mitsuo....from you." * Erellisae blinks, and flushed brighter red, looking mock-horrified, the effect rather spoilt by the occasional giggle. "Hey now! What would I do?" ^_~ * Feray arches an eyebrow and reaches out with the finger to poke Erel's nose. "You? Hrmph. Spirits only know. I bet you'd get him drunk and make him dance around with a bucket on his head!" ...actually, -I'd- probably do that. * Erellisae giggles and sticks her tongue out, before hmming, looking off into the distance. "... wonder if I should get tipsy sometime. I hear it does wonders for courage." ^_~ She practically collapses into giggles again at the thought of a drunk Erellisae. * Feray 's eyebrows hit her hairline. "That's a scary thought. Huh. You know..." It's amusing how much has changed, don't you think? * Erellisae blinks, sobering slightly, tilting her head to the side a little. "Changed with what, though?" Well, with all of us. But with me, I mean, I started out pretty much caring only about me. The fact I was going to die kept me away from people...or it tried to, anyway. Heck, with you, even! I went from hating you to...well, loving you." * Erellisae opens and shuts her mouth a while, lost for words, before snuggling a little close to her sis. "... you did? ... lemme guess? Too clingy-cutesy-saccharine?" ^^; * Feray blinks a bit and she tilts her head. "Not quite. It was more that they treated you like you were total glass and they all jumped at the littlest thing regarding you. I had kinda thought we should be more concerned with the job at that time...or at least with the people who actually got hurt during a battle." * Erellisae shakes her head a little, smiling rather wryly. "Oh, man... and it wasn't all too long ago I was tantruming about not being allowed to blow up a wall of rocks, either..." * Feray quirks a faint grin. "Well. That was kinda when I started to like you more, because it seemed like you didn't want to be treated like glass either." * Erellisae shakes her head faintly, looking down at the tattoos wending their way around her wrist. "Yeah... wanted to prove I could /do/ something... well, you've seen my diary. You know I didn't feel worthy of these til yo--uh, til recently..." * Feray reaches out to tap Erel gently on the head. "I do know. But now I also know that you're more than worthy." You've always been. * Erellisae shifts closer to hug Feray, her vision clouding as she stares slightly into the distance. "I don't know about /always/... but I feel it right now. Thanks, sis... if we could all go back, start this all over... would you do anything different?" * Feray loops a comforting arm over Erel, tucking the smaller woman against her. "...anything? Hrm......that's a pretty tough question...why..? You have some regrets, sis?" * Erellisae looks up with a faint grin. "Are you kidding? I have a big sister, a butterfly boyfriend, and got to meet more childhood heroes than I can fit in a big sack to kidnap them with!" She smiles a little wanly. "Questions, sure. About myself, Mits, Gaia, my parents... I got questions. But no regrets." * Feray blinks and utters an amused growl. "Boyfriend?" * Erellisae's voice catches, and she turns /red/. "Uhm... did I say that? Uhm... wishful thinking is a wonderful thing, huh?" ^^;; Uh...huh. ;) ANYway.. ;) I'd probably change a few things, but not much worth mentioning... * Erellisae grins faintly, the blush slowly disappearing. "Like what?" ^^ * Feray backs her ears and seems a little uncomfortable at that. "Ah, nothing much. I'm happy now...really happy." * Erellisae looks skeptical, fixing her evasive sister with an emerald glare. "Nothing much?" * Feray utters a soft laugh. "Really. Turn down that gaze there, you." * Erellisae hmphs, and grins. "Good. Cuz... I really wouldn't... having a big sister is... kinda overwhelming at times, but... I'm really glad you're here..." Hrmph. You think you're overwhelmed? Man oh man.. ;) * Erellisae hugs Feray once more, smiling up at her. "We'll both learn, right?" ^^ * Feray winks a bit, feeling amusingly better, and ruffles Erel's hair before squeezing her in a big-huntress-hug. "You bet'cha, littlebit. ....now....you gonna nap with me or go find that 'boyfriend' of yours and poke him?" ;) * Erellisae giggles, squeaking slightly in the hug. "I'd best let you sleep... feeling too awake to nap. Besides, I have to go find out what you've been saying about me." ^_~ Oh sure. Right. Because obviously I've been saying that he gives you happy shorts and that you want his hot, muscular Icarian body... ;) You must dispel those horrid lies! * Erellisae giggles and sticks her tongue out, shuffling across the bed to stand up as she blushes slightly. "Hrmph! Maybe I'll kiss him again, just to spite you!" ^_~ She walks across the room, tapping Spud lightly on it's top. "C'mon, you. Enough moping around. I'm sorry I pushed you down the stairs!" * Spud whirrs upwards from the table, wobbling slightly in the air and lazily cirling Erellisae twice before heading for the door... and bonking against it lightly as a fly would. It makes a couple of puzzled beeps, before settling down on a bunk bed and making a sound suspiciously like an electronic snore. ... * Feray utters a low laugh. "Ah...that's the right way about it, Spud." * Erellisae blinks slightly at the 'sleeping' robot, before making a faintly despairing face. "Oh no... I've turned Spud into Dill!" ...ugh. ;) G'nig--er, day, sis. ;) Don't prod him too hard. ;) * Feray drops her arm back onto her face and grins to herself.. * Erellisae nods with a faint smile. "Sleep well, sis." ^^ She slips out of the room quietly, closing the door gently behind her. === LUDE ENDE CUZ IT'S 4:30 AND HEATHER NEEDS SLEEP EEP IT'S 4:30 ===
