Who: Orphaner Dualscar and YOU
When: Any time throughout the curse week
Where: Out and about in the bubble or the island
Style: Starting in action, but I'll follow your lead
Status: Open

[Dualscar's taken careful notice of this curse, and is pretty sure what it's all about - and that he's not affected. As a highblood troll, it would be practically unconscionable for him not to take advantage of this opportunity.

He may be deliberately visiting your character - if you're someone he knows - or it could be a chance meeting. Either way, he may be trying to ferret out information. Or there might not be anything in particular that he cares to know.]

[wavesofjade]

I simply wished to be assured of your consent, my dearest.

[But she doesn't ask again. She drops her head, kisses the gently fluttering skin over his pulse, then opens her mouth and bites.

It isn't a simple pricking of fangs, but rather a deep piercing cut of razor sharp canines, through flesh to the fresh, flowing blood beneath. She has never tasted a seadweller before.

Her fingers clasp over his shoulder in a faint expression of reassurance, and this act isn't without mess - a thin rivulet of violet escapes the corner of her mouth and runs down over his skin.]

[devwocean]

I knoww-- ah!

[She bites more deeply than he'd quite expected. He shudders, closing his eyes and clutching at her hand, his breathing speeding up as she sucks at his blood]

Oh...

[wavesofjade]

[She could have warned him, but further hesitation may only have served to irritate him. Her hand turns in his, their fingers lacing together, and she doesn't take long at all (at least by her reckoning, though it may have felt like much longer to him) before she detaches from his neck and licks her lips delicately. He may feel a little light-headed, but she has made sure not to take too much.

With her hand still in his she shifts around to sit close to him. The wounds would heal quickly, but she's anxious to see how he felt about the experience...]

[devwocean]

[He finds himself leaning against her chest, turning to wrap his arms around her. He does feel a bit lightheaded. But it's a nice feeling, actually. He's not nervous anymore.]

Wwell... that wwasn't bad at all.

[wavesofjade]

[Oh.. this is nice... She holds him against her, kissing his forehead.]

If it was unpleasant, we would find it difficult to survive.

[devwocean]

[He shifts closer, tucking himself against her more comfortably. He had let her do it, and nothing bad had happened, and that made all the difference to him.]

Howw often do you need to do that, swweet one?

[wavesofjade]

Not often enough to be an inconvenience.

[It changes when she's injured, or anything of that nature, but usually the hunger barely bothers her at all. Perhaps it's her age.]

I will admit that I did not expect that from you... Thank you.

[devwocean]

Wwhy didn't you expect it? I wwant to givve you wwhat you need, an to take care a you. It's a little thing, an nothing I should deny you in the least.

[He lifts his head and gives her a look, eyes a little intent.]

Havve you bitten anyone else since you got here?

[wavesofjade]

[She'd be a fool not to realise the intent behind that question, but nor is she going to lie.]

Of course. I would have found it difficult to survive if I had not. The Disciple has been assisting me, as she often has.

[devwocean]

You bit the Di-- [That comes out a little stronger than he intended and he scowls a bit, sulkily] She ain't in any kind a concupiscent quadrant wwith you, though. From noww on, you can come to me. It ain't needed for you to go anywwhere else.

[wavesofjade]

A quadrant is not required for such an arrangement, concupiscent or otherwise.

[She doesn't flinch at his tone, as she might have months earlier.]

But I will take that offer, with the understanding that if you are in some way unavailable, I will look elsewhere.

[devwocean]

[He scowls rather fiercely and turns, gripping her arm as he looks into her eyes]

I wwon't be unavvailable! And I think I'm bein' quite clear that I don't wwant you lookin' elsewwhere. It ain't an offer, it's the wway it should be - it's just plainly ridiculous to say somethin' like that isn't a quadrant sort a thing. Particularly concupiscent, and Disciple is my kismesis, an you're my matesprit, an Disciple an Signless are matesprits besides that, so there's no possible conscupiscent relationship you could havve wwith her.

[wavesofjade]

[She starts when he grips her arm, then her jaw sets and she hisses defensively, wrenching herself free.]

My survival is not a matter relating to quadrants, Dualscar, nor the safety of the people around me should I be forced to go for too long without feeding. It is a matter of necessity, and I will not bow to any demands you make about a state of being that you do not understand.

[devwocean]

[His fins flare, then flatten down. He doesn't want to lose her, and he's upset that she's angry with him, but it's frustrating to him as well]

I wwouldn't force you to do anythin'! You ain't listening to me. I'm here an avvailable. Wwhy do you need to go to someone else wwhen I'm here an wwillin'?

[wavesofjade]

That is not what I said, as you would know if you were listening to me.

[She takes a step back and shakes her head.] If something happens to you, and you are taken from me in some way, what do you suggest I do then?

[devwocean]

[His fins droop a bit and he shifts from foot to foot, upset that she's pulling further and further away from him. He steps closer, reaching for her more gently than before]

Wwell, obvviously if that happens, then you should do wwhat you need to do to survvivve...

[wavesofjade]

[As he reaches out, she takes one of his hands in both of hers, curling her fingers gently around his.]

That is all I meant. Now do you understand?

[devwocean]

[He grips her fingers tightly, shifting closer still]

Wwell, I didn't mean in the first place to say that you should die if I wwasn't in Vvatheon or somethin'. [His tone is a bit sulky, though he's trying to sound gentle and sweet] If I'm gone, I'm sure Signless an Psiioniic wwill be happy to servve.

[wavesofjade]

[It's close enough. She lifts one hand to the side of his face, brushing her thumb over a fin.]

Let us not concern ourselves with that right now, hm?

[devwocean]

[His fin flicks, then smooths under her ministrations. With a smile, he leans close to kiss her]

A course. If I'vve got anything to say about it, it'll nevver come up. I wwon't leavve you, swweetling.
