@VentisPlaylist [ A familiar pang of guilt runs through him, grateful as he is for his lover's patience. His thumb thoughtfully strokes the area that was kissed prior ]
That is fair. However, tonight... I simply want to rest. With you.
@VentisPlaylist [ Xiao motioned for them to be seated on a suitable log nearby. It was the Yaksha's turn to smile, lifting their linked hands to his lips and planting a soft peck at the back of Venti's hand ]
I had no intention of leaving your side tonight, if that was your concern.
@VentisPlaylist [ He seemed to agree with that notion, with the way his hand naturally reached out in turn, relishing the warmth of Venti's hand and progressively intertwining their fingers ]
Yes. Calm nights are a good sign. One may find undisturbed respite even in the wilderness.
@VentisPlaylist [ Xiao slowly nods, stepping closer to his beloved.. his jade spear ready to manifest at the slightest hint of danger ]
I would be happy to, my love.
...Is this another pastime of yours?
@MondKreideprinz Lifting his head, through hazy vision, the door had come into a somewhat clear view. Clumsily, he hoisted himself off the floor and bolted out of the lab.
Night had fallen when the Yaksha returned to @MondKreideprinz 's lab. He was never one for using doors, but perhaps the alchemist would be accustomed to his way of entrance by now.
"You called? What is your concern?"
@MondKreideprinz "Don't.. hh... come near!", Xiao said in between ragged breaths. He tried to think of the inn, or somewhere far to teleport to.. but it was difficult to concentrate with his head throbbing. +
