[lancifolium]

What comes after nice?

[ Settling against him she shifted, keeping one arm around him as she brought her free hand up to toy with the ends of his hair. ]

[bearshermark]

[Eleven hummed thoughtfully, not having really thought of it before]

Great, I suppose. [He met her eyes, fond as she toyed with bits of his hair] Then wonderful and amazing, I think.

[lancifolium]

Seems a fair progression to me. [ She gave a studious nod before meeting his eye with a sly smile. ]

Rather a good itinerary as well, we shall have to try for them all before the journey's over.

[bearshermark]

[He grinned and pulled her close]

I don't have any doubt.

[lancifolium]

It'll be nice.

[ Tilting her head to rest her head against him she sighed, content and grateful he was safe. ] Are you feeling alright? Do you want to rest?

[bearshermark]

[Breathing a short laugh, he settled in comfortably]

Yes, I'm all right. I should be fully healed by morning.

[He doubts he'll be able to talk her into staying the whole day, but he may as well see how much he can manage. His eyes close over a smile]

Then you can have as much of me as you'd like.

[lancifolium]

[ Hugging him to her she turned her head slightly, hiding the way her face flushed at the thought of what he meant. ]

What if that's quite a lot?

[bearshermark]

[Eleven hummed an amused note. Heat flashed over his skin, then faded. His fingers drifted over her back]

Then, barring any interruptions, I'm all yours.

[lancifolium]

[ It was the first proper sleep she'd had in days, and as she woke, draped and otherwise wrapped around him, Lily couldn't help but smile to herself, her arms tightening slightly as she hugged him closer and waited for him to wake up. ]

[bearshermark]

[Waking up warm and in bed with Lily felt like something akin to paradise. Eleven hummed a tired awareness, reveling in their shared warmth. He yawned in short order, eyes blinking open with a fond smile for her]

Morning..

[lancifolium]

[ Opening her eyes and greeting him with a lopsided, sleepy smile she stretched her arm out, brushing his cheek with her hand. ]

Morning love. How do you feel?

[bearshermark]

[He took a few moments to consider that, shifting a little to stretch his core before curling back toward her]

Hmm.. Much better. The soreness is mostly gone. Might just look bruised still.

[lancifolium]

[ Stretching her limbs before she pulled him back against her Lily ducked her head down, nuzzling his cheek with a content hum. ]

We can stay in bed anyway, right?

[bearshermark]

[Eleven looped his arms around her back, charmed by her sweet affection. He lazily brushed his lips over her skin as she went]

Of course. There isn't any pressing need to go anywhere else yet.

[lancifolium]

And just to be sure you've recovered, of course.

[ Turning her head she kissed him, running a hand down his side. ]

Best to stay here with me.

[bearshermark]

[Truly, he was blessed to wake to her warm affection.

His skin tingled beneath the trailing pressure of her touch. Shifting into her kiss, he let the lethargy of his limbs translate to the slow drag of his lips, then smiled]

Mmn. A thorough inspection, is it..?

[lancifolium]

[ Laughing softly as she let her hand slip beneath the hem of his shirt so she could skim her hands over his bare skin. ]

It might be wise to check, just to be on the safe side.

[bearshermark]

[Eleven grinned, stretching slowly onto his back to accommodate such an inspection]

Of course. I'll hardly argue with such compelling reason.

[lancifolium]

[ Loosening her arms from around him as he rolled onto his back she laughed, and shook her head as she propped herself up on her elbow and peered down at him. ]

Your reluctance is palpable my love.

[bearshermark]

[He stretched more thoroughly with a short, satisfied groan, then smiled contentment up at her]

I believe I'll manage.

[lancifolium]

[ Sitting up a little more as he got settled Lily watched his face, recalling how roughed up he had been when she found him, nodding with a faint smile. ]

Are you really not in any pain? I brought the salves Wen Qing had for me when I was recovering in case you needed them.

[bearshermark]

[His smile softened and he raised his wrist briefly to show off the bracer attached to it. It's not something he usually wears to bed, but it was efficient when he was injured]

I'm okay. This heals slowly, but it's been working on me since it was returned. I'm still a little tender in places, but that will fade soon.

[He reached up to trail fingertips over her jaw] But you're sweet to think of that.

[lancifolium]

[ Leaning against his side she draped an arm across his middle. ]

I'll do my best to avoid your tender places, I promise.

[ The expression on her face suggested that might be a half-truth. ]

[bearshermark]

[Eleven eyes flashed up, grinning, then let his hand slide down her shoulder]

I think I'd rather you didn't.

[lancifolium]

[ With a pleased sigh she reached up, catching his hand and guiding it to her waist before she leaned forward, stretching out as she went, her hands combing through his hair as she pulled him into a kiss. ]
