NeoEarthPrincess: [Sorry, I got tired of waiting.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Me too.]
Iruka onna no ko: [^_^]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Okies.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Wakes with a start and a gasp*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Still asleep*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks around his surroundings,
head is still sideways on Andrew's chest, has a horrible crick
in his neck*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Finds that he's in the Desert
Palace and eyes widen a bit*
NeoEarthPrincess wants to directly connect.
Iruka onna no ko is now directly connected.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small, content sigh, moves
around a little*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Realizes he's laying on
something rather warm and moving and looks down at
Andrew*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Lifts his head up a bit, startled*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Feels bad for not talking to him*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I had a nightmare.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Face contorts with worry*
Are you okay?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods* It was one of my usual
ones.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: You gonna tell me about it, or
would you rather not?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: It...it's just...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: It's just a minor one...I'm fine,
really.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Frowns again, but nods*
Alright... *Doesn't sound content with the answers Kuja's
giving him at all*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Will tell Andrew anything if he
gives him the right looks, like he's doing now* It was
about...about Zidane...that's all...and last night...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Go on, please...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I...I heard Zidane calling out for
me...and...I saw...bright blue light...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Blinks quizzically, but
doesn't comment*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I saw Zidane pounding on the
other side of that door. He was bleeding and dirty and...he
looked awful and in a lot of pain..
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Sad frown* If he were hurt
you would have known, dear.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods* He also looked many
years older than the sixteen-year-old that I left on Gaia. He
looked more...used, beaten...like he'd been through a lot...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Sad frown, hugs Kuja* You
would have known if that were the case, dear. He wouldn't
have left you that note. he would have waited for you.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I know, but...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sighs, closing his eyes*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Slowly rubs Kuja's back with
his hands*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I couldn't help him. I couldn't
reach out for him. He couldn't hear me call to him.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: It was a dream, love. If it
were real, he would have heard you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Knows that won't help from
his dreams, but says it none-the-less*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Nods* It was frusterating
though.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I think...I think I'm going to go
take a long, hot bath.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Nods* Alright...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sits up and slides off the bed,
picking his robe and gown up off the floor*
Iruka onna no ko: [I suppose I should stop reading this RP
and pay more attention to the RP at hand, huh?]
NeoEarthPrincess: [<.<;;]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Yeah...]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small sigh, closes his eyes
and lays his arm over his eyes*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at Andrew slyly over his
shoulder as he slides the gown over his head* You may join
me if you wish.
Iruka onna no ko: [Yeah...]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Blinks and moves his hand,
turning his head to look at Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Cheeks slightly flushed,
small grin*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: You'd like that, wouldn't you?
*Puts his robe on, tieing the belt*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Goofy, slightly embarrassed
grin, small nod*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Well, I'll go draw the hot water.
*Smiles and goes to an open doorway in the wall, covered
by a curtain that matches the blood-red color of the rest of
the room*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Goes through the curtain,
disappearing*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ... *Blinks rapidly at the
doorway Kuja vanished through*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small grin, bolts upright and
slides off the bed, walking toward the doorway Kuja left
though*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sitting at the edge of a large pit,
kinda, that's dug in the floor, an old-fashioned bath, it is, and
water starts to fill the bottom of the pit, which is about two
feet deep*
Iruka onna no ko: [*Forgot that Kuja's hair is in a bun*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [A messy bun... <.< ^^;;]
Iruka onna no ko: [Yesh.]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Walks past the curtain and
stops, watching Kuja with a small grin on his face*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Watching the water fill the
bottom of the small bath*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Steps back against the wall
and leans against it*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Turns his head to look at Andrew
and smiles warmly, standing up straight*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Smiles back at Kuja*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *A vanity is on the opposite side
of the bathroom with a small, red velvet-cusioned stool
under the counter*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Noticed the vanity when he
first walked in, now looking at Kuja, not the vanity*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Looks at the bath water again
and watches it*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Continues to smile goofily at
Kuja, notices distantly that his socks came off while he slept*
Iruka onna no ko: [Heh. *Forgot about those too*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Water miraculously stops filling
the tub when it reaches a healthy height*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Blinks when he hears the
water stop and Kuja not move*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Figures Kuja used his
telekenesis*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Slips his robe from his shoulders
and drapes the robe onto the countertop, which is neatly
littered with make-up*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Suddenly becomes aware of
what is required for you not to wear when taking a bath,
cheeks become bright red as his eyes are averted to the
tub*
Iruka onna no ko: [*Snickers*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Chuckles*]
Iruka onna no ko: *Would say something mean like "can't
stomach it, fluff?"*
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Giggles*]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Would you like to remove my
clothing, or should I?
NeoEarthPrincess: *Would bursts into hysterical giggles
and offer to join Kuja if Andrew didn't want to*
Iruka onna no ko: [Muaha.]
Iruka onna no ko: [LOL!]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Becomes even more red*
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Halo*]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sees this and is greatly
amused*
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Laughs* Poor Andrew... I kinda feel
sorry for him.... Kinda... Sorta... Not really.. <.<;;; ^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Would you like me to leave the
room so you can get in without being ackward?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Would be amused, whatever
answer he's given*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Uhh... *Eyes dart about the
room nervously, but seem not to fall upon Kuja* I dunno...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Chuckles, can't hold it in any
longer and walks to the doorway*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I'll wait for you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Glances up at Kuja* It's
okay, Kuja...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Are you sure?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Feels rather childish about
making such a big deal about it, nods* Yeah...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles and slowly moves
towards Andrew*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Swallows and looks up at
Kuja, doesn't move*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Puts his arms around Andrew's
waist* Our bath water is ready.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Smiles at Kuja and nods*
Alright...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Are you going to remove my
clothing, or should I?
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Feels his cheeks growing
hot, but smiles, ignoring them, swallows* ...I will.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiles* Thank you.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Nods*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Waits for Andrew to move and
chuckles when he doesn't* Did you forget how to undress
me?
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Forgot what Kuja was wearing*
Gimme a break... <.<;;]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Laughs*]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Shakes his head*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *In his night gown*
NeoEarthPrincess: [>.>;;]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Places his hands on Kuja's
hips and slides his hands down as far as they can reach*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Removes his arms from around
Andrew's waist so he may move easier*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Takes Kuja's nightgown in
his hands and raises it up to his underarms, waits for Kuja to
raise his arms*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Does so*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Lifts the gown over Kuja's
head completely, straightens it out and lies it over his arm
like the towel over a butlers arm*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: You can put that over there.
*Nods his head in the direction of the counter*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Nods and sidesteps Kuja,
walking to the counter*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Turns to face Andrew as he
goes*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Lies the gown on the counter
and turns to Kuja, smiles*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: And now what?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Smiling slyly*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Cheeks slightly flush* You
know quite well... >.>
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Does, indeed, know quite well*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Also knows that Andrew is rather
uncomfortable with this and is going to act tough and
over-aged so he impresses Kuja*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Is that, and is going to do
that, for that reason*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Knows Kuja quite well*
Iruka onna no ko: [*Chuckles*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [^^;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Then Andrew would know that
Kuja is amused with this entire situation*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Does, indeed, know that,
and doesn't enjoy that fact*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Decides to speed the process up
since his bathwater is getting cold and goes to the edge of
the pool, dipping his big toe in*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Watches Kuja, glad the
focus isn't on him at the moment*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Likes the heat of the water and
smiles as he slides his underwear down his legs* [Muaha.
*Can't wait to see Andrew blush like mad and either look
away or stare*]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: I'll get your boxers wet too.
*Splashes behind him*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Jumps* Kuja! I'll go wait
out in the room for you, boy...
Iruka onna no ko: [Dah! MSN froze.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Bah.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Yesh.]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Giggle*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: It's not funny!
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Well, go on then.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Giggle* I'll just stay here and
wrinkle like a prune.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Among other things.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Small sigh, whines* I don't
want to get wet...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Oh, boo hoo.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: The water feels so good though.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Whines*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: You were so eager too...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sigh* Ah, well.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...
Iruka onna no ko: [*Getting tired*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Already? It's only one...]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sits up and stretches, thin waist
on the surface of the water, sending ripples about the pool*
Iruka onna no ko: [Yeah...]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Defeated sigh*
NeoEarthPrincess: [Drink MD... <.<]
Iruka onna no ko: [Dun have any.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Drink pop.]
Iruka onna no ko: [Dun wanna get up. ^^;]
NeoEarthPrincess: [-.-;]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Moves forward, to the slightly
deeper side of the pool*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ...Where are you going...?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: This way. And I thought you
were leaving.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Do you want me to?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: No.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Another small, defeated
sigh* So, I'm not going to...
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Bends backwards, dipping the
rest of his hair into the water, turning it all a metallic shade
of gray*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Alright, if you insist...
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Timidly stands up, eyes dart
about as if he was being watched*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Facing away from Andrew but
listens closely to his movements*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: Do-.. *Swallows and tries
again* Don't turn around... You said you wouldn't... *Eyes
continue to dart about nervously*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Sitting up straight again and
starts to rub a bar of rough soup over his skin*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Giggles* You're right, I didn't.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Doesn't turn around*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: You did too...
Iruka onna no ko: [Oops.]
Iruka onna no ko: [That was supposed to be "did." ^_^;]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Tired*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Oh, okay...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Well then, put a comma after "did".]
Iruka onna no ko: [I would, accept that was the last word
in the sentence.]
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: ... *Eyes continue to dart
about nervously*
NeoEarthPrincess: [Eh?]
Iruka onna no ko: [Nevermind, not important.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Okay...]
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Bends forward and dips his face
into the water*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Nervously slides his boxers
down, tossing them onto the dry counter and quickly
stepping into the pool of water, sitting down*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Feels the water ripple around his
face and sits up again*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Can I turn around now?
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Runs his hands down his face to
remove excess water*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Crosses his arms and legs*
Uhh... Sure, I guess.. *Eyes continue to dart about*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Does so and moves about so
he's laying on his stomach, chin just breaking the surface of
the water*
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: What are you so nervous for? It's
just me.
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: *Automatically scoots his legs
away from Kuja* I know... <.<
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: Then why are you so nervous? I
don't understand.
Iruka onna no ko: Kuja: *Understands perfectly well*
NeoEarthPrincess: Andrew: I-... I don't know...
Iruka onna no ko: [*Wants to go to bed*]
NeoEarthPrincess: [;.;]
NeoEarthPrincess: [I lose the comp tomorrow...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Today...]
Iruka onna no ko: [*Having a hard time keeping her eyes
open*]
Iruka onna no ko: [I know...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [>.<]
Iruka onna no ko: [>.<]
Iruka onna no ko: [But I'm tired...]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Nods* Okay...]
Iruka onna no ko: [I'll call you as soon as I get up.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Nods* Okay.]
Iruka onna no ko: [As soon as Dad/Cait gets off the
puder, anyway.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [I'm sure if you explain my situation
they'll get off.]
Iruka onna no ko: [I hope so.]
NeoEarthPrincess: [*Nods*]
Iruka onna no ko: [Do you want the URL to my new
clique?]
NeoEarthPrincess: [Your animal clique?]
Iruka onna no ko: [Join it now if you want to stay online
later, for some strange reason.]
