Senecio adn Tide II

[Mirach]

The feeling of the large creature holding him underwater was so thrilling to Senecio that he finally forgot about everything else and was able to fully enjoy the moment. 

[VisAnastasis]

Tide, who, despite his love for humanity, still held deep connection to sea and waters, enjoyed swimming freely, without restraint, and even more so, with the precious little cargo. It seemed it reminded him on something pleasant, as his feelings were content and full of tenderness, and he swam and swirled excitedly in the waters while holding him, glancing the actor from time to time eagerly, checking every once in a while, to see how much longer he would like to continue to do this. With his contentment, actor could see that as time went by, couple more red flowers grewupon creature's fur, and the existing ones grew bigger and brighter too.

[Mirach]

Senecio admired Tide's powerful form and its movements in water, the natural environment for it. But he was getting eager for something more with it, and finally asked Tide to make himself smaller.

[VisAnastasis]

Tide obeyed, going back to the surface. There, once he assured Senecio is staying safely on his  own, he withdrew the giant arms a little, in order to transform back to his humanoid form.

Once he did, he appeared right next to the actor, swimming in the water next to him. However, in the aftermath of being tended to and of being accepted and all the joy of it, it reflected on his form, and it looked refreshed and clear, his hair looking healthier, his eyes brighter, and even a light bluish glow still lingering around his form. But one change that was most obvious was that right now, all his neck, shoulders and even couple places in hair were covered in red flowers of various sizes from before, so much that he seemed like a bouquet, flowers growing so tightly next to each other that they were close like in a flower patch... He sneezed, looking embarrassed and ticklish, as he didn't realize before that that many new flowers grew, and it seemed that once they grew, they would transfer through forms untill picked up.

[Mirach]

"You're blossoming," Senecio grinned. "It suits you." 

[VisAnastasis]

Indeed, the amount of flowers was rather insane, but they held undeniable strong aura of happiness, shimmering brightly, just like Tide's blue eyes and feelings shimmered with actor's confident response. Demon beamed all the more with it, and slowly and shyly he reached for actor's face.
" You... suit me more," he proclaimed suddenly, his voice trembling a little with feelings - and the next moment, he already could not keep himself from it, and he trustfully closed his eyes and leaned in for a kiss.

[Mirach]

Senecio leaned in eagerly and enveloped his hands around Tide's neck, caressing the flowers lightly as he kissed him.

(OOC: a day late, but happy birthday!)

[VisAnastasis]

( OOC: Hhehee, no worries, late reply here too :D Thanks, dear, and lots of hugggss! <3 <3 <3

Creature trembled with just a tinge of vulnerability, a little bit from still present lingering memory of actor's death, but equally so, with the gentle caress upon the flowers that he was overgrown with. He seemed shy and flustered with it, but he likewise seemed to be growing more longing toward casual touch day by day. After the talk from the morning, Senecio felt like he could understand the delicate legacy of being prey and predator both has left on the demon as it grew. From one side, the creature's was deeply vulnerable after an emotional experience of last hour, from the other side, its love, akin to hunger, was burning away any dark thoughts. The tears were gathering on the edges of the creature's eyes as it kept kissing him and passing through his hair with its fingers, though.
 
* All of this is mine... you get it? " Being whispered hoarsely as the kiss ended, meaningfully gathering actor close in his arms. * So... even if you are desperate... do not steal this one thing from me, okay? You are a terribly bad thief. * he smiled* Choose what you choose, but don't worry. I will always catch you before you succeed. You... * he proclaimed, with all pride in the world* You are mine., aren't you? *

[Mirach]

Senecio shivered slightly, the words hitting some deep spot in him that desired to be owned and controlled, and something even deeper where that desire stemmed from - the simple need to belong and be accepted. "I'm yours..." he whispered. "All yours..."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide's heart fluttered, and it was all there for Senecio to feel - a freeing pleasure and satisfaction, and growing greed for more. If it was natural to expect powerful people to be greedy, it felt natural that Tide, who craved full acceptance from people he loved to be greedy right now. His greed was not cold or frightful, though, it was greed that brimmed with vulnerable love and was restless for more. There was greed in the protective tender way in which the creature hugged him suddenly, burying the actor's head in soft red flowers.
" If you are mine... then prove it to me. It is a new dare... It is a new game, " the creature replied to him with a proud grin as it held him, purring lightly. This, both such claims and what he said next were new to Tide, but he was adaptable. He was learning and adjusting to new situations frighteningly fast. " Would Demon King not take care of his things? Would Demon King not return what was given to him tenfolds? If you are mine, then tell me more. " he purred louder, as he caressed his hair. " The more you give me, the more I'll give you back. That is a Demon King's way. Until the day ends, tell me all your wishes, and I'll fulfil them all for you. If you are mine, listen to me, and use up a shameless number of wishes today, my delight... That is an order."

[Mirach]

Senecio took a deep breath, feeling suddenly uncertain when he thought about his request, unsure if Tide will be fine with it. "Okay," he said, withdrawing a little. "But don't feel obliged to fulfill every wish. Not if you're uncomfortable with it. I'd like to show you something though, see what you think about it..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I am only offering you unlimited wishes... because I have faith in you. You always take my comfort into account, even more than you should. That's why I am asking this from you. People that love each other should feel free to ask for things they really want from each other. I... am bad at it, too. But shouldn't we learn it together? Only like that, can we be in a relationship with each other... not with polished idols. " he whispered, withdrawing his hands just a little seeing actor withdrew, but asking hopefully, still. " You are not being really subtle right now, so it, um.. definitely doesn't seem to me that you want to... be clothed and eat first. Am I right? " he asked carefully, more sounding a little tense that he is a misunderstanding, seeming a little shy. " So... where would you like us to go, and um, how would you prefer it? Would it be.. um... silly to dress up only to undress? I could get you a nice blanket. I fear I don't have bathrobes right now, I never felt like sewing them because they are not as fun as making cute dresses. I can sew you some in the future, of course, I mean.... "he was flustered. " I mean, I don't know what you are most comfortable with. Being beings, we are different. I want to learn... "

[Mirach]

"Oh, bathrobes can be wonderful," Senecio smiled a bit. "Soft and fluffy, and with lace and embroidery... But I'd like to talk now, and show you something. I've got it here, somewhere on my belt, if I can find my clothes. I'll just take a towel for now..." he said and wrapped a big towel he found around himself. "Here," he said then, after he searched thr heap of his clothes. "This is what I wanted to show you. But I'm not sure if you are okay with using it. We could talk about it. It's a whip... Janus made it for me, and it's adjusted to your strength. It’s safe to use for you, shouldn't do any serious harm..."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide went out of the water with him, and dried them both with his warming powers, as he listened to his words patiently. It seemed that after having an overflow of emotions before, he was in a place now where he could take in information without jumping to conclusions right away. There was no strong outburst of feelings coming from him this time as he listened, domineering feeling seemed to be a surprise and a little bit of vulnerable caution. Curiosity seemed to be the feeling that prevailed in the end, though.

" Are... Are you sure it... safe? " He was observing the object in the actor's hand as if it was going to bite him, but in some conflicted way. " I... I mean, when I think about it, it's foolish I didn't think of asking him for help. I just thought it seemed unrealistic to consider I could use such things with my strength without hurting you. It still feels hard to believe something like that could be made. I mean.... I guess it is possible if it's Janus, since he has measurements of my minimum and maximum strength. When I was too excited and in a rush to leave rooms, I... would break door handles often, so we took all such measurements, so he could construct door handles special, so I couldn't break them accidentally, but.... " he seemed shy to admit. " I never imagined he would use that knowledge like this. Um... Well, I guess I should have. He's always been like that... "

[Mirach]

"He said he adjusted it to you to a gram, but you could try it on a fruit first if you want. It has two settings, but even the stronger one shouldn't be enough to tear skin. If it is so, would you be okay with using it? I wanted to talk about it first, figure out together which things you would be eager for, which you would be willing to try and which you wouldn't..."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide extended his hand slowly to take the object and was turning it around in his hand quietly as he was thinking.
" I... don't really think it's a matter of whip or no whip. It's a matter of actually hurting you. It is... the same as with ropes. I would hesitate using them too, if they could injure your body for real, but Hans reassured me if I pick as he advised me, that you wouldn't be really hurt. I don't know much about this... but I am open to your ideas. As long as I'm not really hurting you, it's just a game, not real torture. It's only fun for me if it's a game, " he replied quietly, but firmly, as he observed the peculiar object. " I am sorry I can't give a direct answer yet... Before daring to consider anything, I really would have to test it. My head believes Janus, you see, but my heart needs convincing, " he suggested unsurely then. " How about I first test it on a chair? If I were to use a normal whip with decent strength, the chair would split in half. If it doesn't, I can use it on the pillow. If even a soft pillow doesn't tear apart, it's probably safe... But we shouldn't just jump straight into it without being sure, so if the first two tests succeed... Maybe... I can just... hit a side of your arm once or twice? " he asked hesitantly. " You are the best reference for this. Human theatre whips don't injure your body when humans use them, so if the force feels similar when I use this one, then... it would basically be as safe, right? "

[Mirach]

"Yes, it should," Senecio nodded. "You can give it as much testing as you want... And... if I can have another request... could you also show me what happens if you use a real whip on the chair and pillow? It's a game of pretense... I'd like you to use the safe one and imagine it's real."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide nodded slowly.
" As long as I don't have to use a real whip for the third test on you and tear you in half... then, well, why not? " he snorted suddenly, letting go of the nervousness. " Well, why not, yes. Chairs and pillows are not expensive. It's not common, but if we ask the room for it, the whip will definitely appear, so the only choice then is - which room? " he turned his gaze to the actor, adding shyly. " You... should really pick the room in which you'll feel like doing it afterwards. Because, while we are still getting to know each other and I have a lot to learn, if you got hard when I was merely telling you how you are tasty to me, there's no way you're not getting excited with a dramatic display of danger in front of you... We are testing Janus's whip first, just so we assure of safety... But then, " he smiled a little mischievously. " I will show you just how ridiculously over the top being a demon using human weapons is and why I don't use them... "

[Mirach]

Senecio grinned. "Okay, that's quite possible. But let's eat first, and talk. You were right that by leaving the choice what to do to you, I've left you guessing. I'd like to give you more options, the letters you can use and combine into words as you like. I'd like to know more about what you enjoy too, and the forms you can take..."

[VisAnastasis]

Tide smiled slowly, as talking things through a little without rushing into them seemed to fit his pace better. With one hand, he tightly clutched the whip, while he shyly offered the other to the actor.
" You are always vague and hesitant... But I guess I am no better. Talking about embarrassing things takes courage. That's why I can't really pressure you for information. You are not pressuring me either, after all... But I am always curious, regardless of not asking, and... I don't want us to stagnate. I... feel like the foundation we set is sturdy enough to build this home higher, " he whispered. " So... let is eat and talk, then, okay? Which room do you want us to go to, and what food? We can order them to form the *room*, or I could bring them from the kitchen. Or...I guess I could make you some nice charred potatoes if you'd like. Or ice cream. Those are about only foods I can make myself confidently. You don't have to, I am just giving options, of course... I just remembered you said roasted potatoes is your favourite food the night we met... "

[Mirach]

"I would like that," Senecio smiled with the memory. "How about roasted potatoes with melted cheese and sour cream and fried onions? With ice cream for dessert... I'd like to stay here for now, I don't feel like getting dressed to go somewhere else."

[VisAnastasis]

" I never mixed so many ingredients, but since it seems like it's basically putting melted things together, I feel like it's doable, Guess we could try it out. Let's sit down and start then, " he agreed shyly, and he began calling out for things he needed for the meal, as well as plates and a knife he could cut cheese and onions with, with determined expression to pull it off from the first try.

[Mirach]

Senecio helped him with the cutting. "You just bake the potatoes, cut them in half and put everything on top while they're hot," he explained.

[VisAnastasis]

Tide nodded, obeying instructions carefully. As expected of him, he was a bit too generous with the ingredients, so they were falling from sides of cut food, but as far as preparation goes, the big prepared batch of potatoes with ingredients smelled rather tasty, as each separate part cooked just right and stayed warm.

" Hmm... I guess it is a little ugly presented. Hans would totally tease me, but... it feels nice, right? " Being said with a shy hopeful smile. " I would not really feel confident presenting it around to guests like cute ice cream, but it should be fine for the two of us.... "

[Mirach]

"It's perfect," Senecio assured him, enjoying the meal.
