"I hope they were both clear on what rocket was being discussed..."

“Oh...” The lackluster response isn't cause of this fellow, mostly from the whiplash of his now bruised ego. Rubbing at his forehead, trying to think of the next appropriate response... “Can't make the best talk right now, but ya take a seat next to if ya want.”

" It wasn't a particular person, or an occurrence. It's how I feel most days. "

Hopefully they don't mind the smell of said grease and gel in all the cuddlin'.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 20m ago

Perfect, because I have two. Hugo and Maurice. They both enjoy cuddling.

» me putting down my soda and peekin' over like huh

Knife Turk Anvivia@turkanvivia.bsky.social · 23m ago

“Yeah she is..” a small mischievous grin “though there’s an engineer that may have caught her fancy”

( Feisty. He'd say he'd return the favor proper but they're still in public, so. ) Fuckin' love em. ( Following right after her, peeking over. ) They don't make a lot of noise, mind their own business, and great at sniffin' out any danger.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 27m ago

[Returning the kiss, she takes a page from his own book and bites his lip.] Come on then. Just a quick train ride there. Oh and... I hope you don't mind cats.

Whoever said I couldn't dress both practically and fashionably was a liar then. ( Hmm... he'll settle more into this soothing notion then, opting to close his eyes to better focus on this feeling. He's not feeling nearly as bad, just taking a bit of time really. )

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 38m ago

I don't mind. I think your current outfit looks great on you. [She continues the motion, slowly and lightly moving a finger up along his nose almost as if trying to massage away any lingering vertigo.]

( He can play off a lot of things. This though, this is somethin' he certainly can't just brush off. Strikin' blue eyes locking onto hers, observing, taking notes... drawing his own conclusions to arrive at hers. ) Alright. ( He responds softly, nodding as he leans in to press -

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 47m ago

Cid. [Takes his face in her hands.] I very obviously like you. Come home with me tonight. I'm granting you permission to enter my sanctuary. That sounds a lot like innuendo. But I'm serious.

» I think Cid as a muse is already startin' to rub off on me because I keep doin lil stretches and I get random back and shoulder cracks

» Damn Cid, you got game I'm not aware of, it seems

I don't got much else to offer unfortunately. When it comes to outfits, I pretty much only got this one. ( This is new and instinctively, it has him stilling, letting her explore. Not out of nervousness or uncomfortable, just his way of observing and scouting before acting in response. )

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 55m ago

[Laughs] Okay fair point. [A hand moves from his hair to trace lightly up the bridge of his nose to his forehead. Soft, soothing motions.]

I do that all the time, your point bein'? ( Doing a half shrug best he can with her leanin' against him. ) Ya never know. There's a reason we scientists are asked to jot everythin' down rather than keep it up in our heads. I ain't gonna assume what ya're thinkin', only know what ya're sayin'.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 59m ago

Careful, you're playing with fire~ [She teases when he bites her lip.] Yeah? Think I hadn't thought of that before suggesting it? You're cute.

Viv, that's a guarantee, not even a question of chance. ( There goes his hair gettin' messed up. Not that he minds judging by his content expression. )

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 1h ago

I'll wear a different top next time. I'm sure you'll like the view even more. [Runs her fingers through his hair.]

( Oh? Guess she ain't sly as a Turk for nothing. He'll get her back in his own way, with a quick bite to her lower lip. ) Wasn't even thinkin' of stuff like that. More of, hm, your home's your sanctuary, right?

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 1h ago

[Turning her head, she catches his lips with her own as he moves to press another kiss to her head.] Yeah I'm sure. Don't have to do anything, we can just stay like this. That would be enough.

» I feel like I had the most Cid moment where I had my head down doing stuff and then I lift up my head and I see the TL doing some fun shenanigans 😆 He was too focused ahah

Yeah? ( rolling right over, head pressed up against her lap. ) I think I like this view better.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 1h ago

[Clicking her tongue, she shakes her head a little.] You can use my lap if you need.

( Another one then. ) Nah, since my go-to ride is typically a good couple of meters tall and wide, it ain't exactly what ya'd call near. Ya sure though, on your place?

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 1h ago

[She leans in to the affection.] We can head to my place? Unless you know somewhere close by...

( flopping right back against the ground, stretching and letting his back crack out a bit ) I can agree to that, Viv.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 1h ago

Sounds like an all around win~

What'd ya have in mind? ( a kiss to the side of her head )

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

Want to head out? Go somewhere that this might be more comfortable?

Reverse-engineering the recipe and I get to try more of your cookin'?

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

[She grins at that.] Guess we've got a game plan then~

“What got ya all like this?”

— 𝙋𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙀 𝙎𝙀𝙏 𝙈𝙀 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 .ᐟ.ᐟ@fractumflore.bsky.social · 2h ago

" Yeah... me too. "

( Now it's his turn to return the affections, a gentle rub at her lower back, welcoming her right in. ) Can't say I mind this either, even if it's up against the bar counter.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

Hm. That's a bit of a vague question... but... this? [Shifting herself, she cuddles up to him.] I don't mind this.

What's there to complain about? ( Might be making random noises under his breath, more of mumbles meant for him, debating what else he could do, if any. ) That's probably the best bet. Legally and morally-wise.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

I don't hear you complaining. [She tilts her head.] Yeah, that would be a no-go. But maybe we could build up a tolerance...

What else ya don't mind? ( Suppose his wandering hand'll settle at her lower back instead, makes for a comfy hold for the both of them. )

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

I don't mind~

Ptf, feisty. ( He can't help but tease there, bringing a knee up to his chin as he thinks more. ) I'd usually create countermeasures too, but that'd also be messin' with the rules there...

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

I think I can handle it~

Eh. ( Shrugging as he indulges her in another one, and maybe another one. ) I try.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

Cheesy... [She laughs, leaning in for another kiss.]

It'll cause my brain to go on a whirlwind, are ya sure ya want that? I'm told I can be quite a handful once I get shit like that goin'.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

[Hands propping her chin up, she's listening intently.] I might be able to try recreating it at home....

Or maybe your kisses are just that sweet.~

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

Ah. Maybe not now that you've chugged two bottles of milk~

Yes, yes, I know, gotta keep my hands clean except for the sauce. ( Scoot scoot. ) First thought defaults to reverse-engineering the sauce and spices, figure out what makes em tick and what I could do even my odds like that. Science helps to lay out the facts, lets me see the bigger picture.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

Yes, we can't have that. No cheating. [Scoots closer so they're practically knee to knee.] But what were you thinking?

"You would rather stand with those, who want you to burn then those who want you to grow." OC. Fantasy RP.

Nah, nothin' like that. ( His other hand glides a bit up and down her side, as if debating where to stay exactly. ) More like see, it doesn't sting as bad as ya thought it would.

Viv Rhapsodos@vivrhapsodos.bsky.social · 2h ago

[She presses into the kiss, smirking when she withdraws.] Oh? Are you telling me you're happy you can't taste or feel my kiss?
