[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“Of course.”

Ichitaiyo could feel the Kaiu seating herself next to her on the couch, one arm soon pulling her in closer. Soon the other arm also wraps around her.

“So there’s one of the moons will be full soon. You should come over to my place and I can take you some place to see it.”

"Mmm... I like surprises. If my work on the magistry goes alright I'll be there."

Ichitaiyo was cold to the touch, as calm as her professional mask, squeezes finding easily themselves with bone and muscle. As tall she was, as large as the world she had explored she presented herself.. it was this a moment that suddenly she was fragile, just a mask away from an ill fate.

Ichitaiyo gently let her hands wrap around Nagisa's waist. Not possesive, not teasing, just.. holding onto the Kaiu as a buoy in the scary sea.

"Thank you."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"Thank you."

It’s hard to ignore just how solid Nagisa feels. She surely is a Crab, but the solid nature of the Kaiu was not just physical. It was a sense of a sturdy foundation. Shelter. Safe.

“You don’t need to thank me.” Nagisa gives a gentle squeeze. “I… Enjoy this, too.”

“You don’t need to thank me.” Nagisa gives a gentle squeeze. “I… Enjoy this, too.”

"Then let me thank Benten for putting you in that bar." She responded, too much at ease, melting under the touch, relaxing and plying her hard and sharp figures to the Kaiu's hold.

"You're.. a nice hugger.."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"Then let me thank Benten for putting you in that bar." She responded, too much at ease, melting under the touch, relaxing and plying her hard and sharp figures to the Kaiu's hold.

"You're.. a nice hugger.."

“Now that’s a new one for me.” Ichitaiyo can feel the slight chuckle coming from Nagisa. Hear her steady heartbeat speed up slightly.

“Now that’s a new one for me.” Ichitaiyo can feel the slight chuckle coming from Nagisa. Hear her steady heartbeat speed up slightly.

"New one? I could lay here until tomorrow. I feel.. like a salamander baking over a rock." Ichitaiyo mused, rolling gently and digging her nose on Nagisa's hair.

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"New one? I could lay here until tomorrow. I feel.. like a salamander baking over a rock." Ichitaiyo mused, rolling gently and digging her nose on Nagisa's hair.

“New compliment. Never been called a good hugger before.”

Nagisa’s body is very warm. And maybe a tad bit warmer as the contact continues. “Or a cat in a sunbeam?”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

Nagisa’s body is very warm. And maybe a tad bit warmer as the contact continues. “Or a cat in a sunbeam?”

"I meant the question as in that I can't understand nobody had told you that before." The Investigator offered, giving a gentle squeeze.

"How about an egg on a hot cat hood?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"I meant the question as in that I can't understand nobody had told you that before." The Investigator offered, giving a gentle squeeze.

"How about an egg on a hot cat hood?"

“Well, I don’t get much… Physical affection, so…” She cuts herself off with a gentle laugh. “I hope you aren’t being cooked by me! Do I really radiate that much heat?”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“Well, I don’t get much… Physical affection, so…” She cuts herself off with a gentle laugh. “I hope you aren’t being cooked by me! Do I really radiate that much heat?”

"I think I am raw enough to need some cooking." Ichitaiyo chuckled as well, not really knowing hwere she was going with that, taking in Nagisa's perfume of motor oil, fuel and mud, enjoying the tang and grit beneath it.

"Not often getting intimacy... I guess you need a real tease to push you to spine back, mm?"

"

“Eh, more or less. More you teased the less afraid of rejection I was.” Nagisa lets out a long sigh, leaning back into the couch. Relaxing, holding Ichitaiyo.

“Had to turn off my brain a little.”

“Eh, more or less. More you teased the less afraid of rejection I was.” Nagisa lets out a long sigh, leaning back into the couch. Relaxing, holding Ichitaiyo.

“Had to turn off my brain a little.”

One of the hands on the waist climbed up to Nagisa's hair, and began to gently brush, running the tips of her fingers on her scalp.

"And now that it is on?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

One of the hands on the waist climbed up to Nagisa's hair, and began to gently brush, running the tips of her fingers on her scalp.

"And now that it is on?"

Oh. Now that’s nice. She leans into the touch, almost as if to demand more.

“I’m thinking right now… That I like this so much I don’t want to move.”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

Oh. Now that’s nice. She leans into the touch, almost as if to demand more.

“I’m thinking right now… That I like this so much I don’t want to move.”

The fingers understood the assignement, curving and raking with her nails.

"Good, because I'll go cold without."

A beat to converse.

"What do you want from the future?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

The fingers understood the assignement, curving and raking with her nails.

"Good, because I'll go cold without."

A beat to converse.

"What do you want from the future?"

“Hm?” Nagisa’s eyes blink open after having fallen into a bit of a daze. “Oh, do you mean in a general sense or…”

She motions towards the two of them. The implication being about their relationship is pretty clear.

She motions towards the two of them. The implication being about their relationship is pretty clear.

"General sense. This is our second date after all." Ichitaiyo comforted. "You mentioned a bigger garage and multiple car ramps before.."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"General sense. This is our second date after all." Ichitaiyo comforted. "You mentioned a bigger garage and multiple car ramps before.."

“Oh. While they would be nice…” Nagisa smiles softly, humming a little as she thought more deeply on the question.

“Honestly, I just want to help out my community more. Thinking about all that’s happened… I think I want to give more than I receive?”

[Kitsuki Ichitaiyo]

“Oh. While they would be nice…” Nagisa smiles softly, humming a little as she thought more deeply on the question.

“Honestly, I just want to help out my community more. Thinking about all that’s happened… I think I want to give more than I receive?”

"That's very honorable, Nagisa-san.." Ichitaiyo replied, still stroking, still brushing. Ichitaiyo's heartbeat in turn was slow, deep, almost like a deep sea animal wading through the currents, slumbering side to side. And within her lungs, the raspiness still ragged like a volcano's rumble.

"I.. think I want to be at peace for a while. Sleep well before doing something.. stimulating, that keeps me up with a rush. And hopefully that helps people."

And mused for a moment.

"I have never stayed anywhere long enough to be part of the 'community', always a nomad or passerby. I don't truly even have a home to my name. Maybe Nakahama can be it."

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"That's very honorable, Nagisa-san.." Ichitaiyo replied, still stroking, still brushing. Ichitaiyo's heartbeat in turn was slow, deep, almost like a deep sea animal wading through the currents, slumbering side to side. And within her lungs, the raspiness still ragged like a volcano's rumble.

"I have never stayed anywhere long enough to be part of the 'community', always a nomad or passerby. I don't truly even have a home to my name. Maybe Nakahama can be it."

Nagisa is silent for a moment, letting the soft rhythm of her breathing fill the void of near-silence. She shifts, her arms move to squeeze Ichitaiyo ever so gently.

“I want you to be part of this community… I want you to experience having a home.”

“I want you to be part of this community… I want you to experience having a home.”

And Ichitaiyo couldn't but stare for some long moments, her face torn between swelling with the kindness she received and the trepidation of a life looking over her shoulder and the secrets of the people.

"You.. love easily and deeply, Nagisa-san. I don't know if to envy it, or to armor up that purity even more."

"You.. love easily and deeply, Nagisa-san. I don't know if to envy it, or to armor up that purity even more."

“You think so?” Nagisa chuckles, her grip on Ichitaiyo tightening. “Is it really loving easily because it’s in my nature, or is it because I found someone who I can love easily?”
