Rebel 32 [Voice || Forward-dated to morning]

I hope everyone's holiday is going well! It's nice to see the sun out after all the snow and wind, isn't it? Although I suppose it's still a little chilly. It really is a wonderful day to spend with your loved ones.

But everyone, please, remember moderation. I'd hate for anyone to get sick from too much chocolate on a beautiful day like this. If anyone does get a bad stomachache, then please don't hesitate to come by the clinic.

Speaking of... David, I should be able to leave by sunset. Should I just meet you back at home?

If that's what works best for you. Unless you'd prefer me to meet you at the Clinic.

[...And little did they suspect...]

[She's silent for a moment as one train of thought rolls right off its tracks and explodes to make way for another. What's she doing at work, anyway? There's no need for so many people to be on hand at the clinic right now. And it's a holiday. Maybe she should leave early...]

Hmm... It would be nice to walk home with you...

[Trains of thought? Being derailed? That's a common theme between them today, apparently. Suddenly he's overcome with similar feelings. The thought of visiting her early crosses back and forth through his head. But for now...]

...Sunset, then. I'll make sure to be there.

[...Yes, he sounds a little more openly flirtatious than normal.]

Well... maybe I can see about leaving a little early. I hardly get to spend enough time with you as it is...

[She loves the girls, after all, but dammit, ceiling Tao makes it hard to find a quiet moment alone sometimes.]

Mmm, I feel the same way. And I wouldn't mind being able to spend more of today with that certain someone.

[She does, and Dave values those moments where they can have them. He wouldn't mind just having a nice time with Litchi for once. That's what Valentine's Day is for, at any rate. So maybe today would prove to be more successful for that.]

We~ell, "certain someone"... Maybe I'll just see if I can slip out now, hm~?

[Definitely what Valentine's Day is for. She can't waste this opportunity. ~~Work? What work?~~]

I certainly wouldn't mind. Though it's not typical for a knight to rescue the fair maiden from something as mundane as a day at the office.

[...Why yes, he's having fun and being playful. What is this.]

[Hey, she's not questioning it. Litchi just laughs cheerily. She tries to keep her tone as serious as she can, but let's face it, she's no good at that sort of thing.]

Are you saying you won't rescue me from it anyhow?

I may not have the armor. Or the horse. Or the sword.

But I just might be able to find a way.

[Her tone is every ounce as playful as it can get when she's smashed, but she's definitely very sober. This may or may not be a good thing.]

Meet you outside, then~?

[Time for some rushed paperwork.]

[There's the sound of him getting his coat on.]

I'm already on my way.

[And Litchi rushes her merry way through the rest of her paperwork before pulling on her own coat and heading out to wait in front of the clinic. Not that it's bound to be much of a wait, with how close the house is.

...This is really a silly thing to be getting a rush over, isn't it?]

[Not at all. She probably won't be waiting long at all because a similar rush has overtaken him as well, so she'll probably see him walking up the path briskly.]

[The smile that spreads across her face when she sees him is a few times brighter than usual. Heart beating a little faster, a small skip in her step, she all but jogs over to him.

And greets him with a hug.

Your personal space. She has it.]

[What's personal space? Screw that, he doesn't need it. And neither do you, Litchi Faye-Ling. He's hugging you right the hell back.]

Guess your rescue's just a little late.

[Inwardly, she's a little surprised he's being so outwardly affectionate out in the middle of the village like this, but hell, she's not complaining. She just contents herself with leaning in as close as she can, her eyes locked on his.]

You're here now. That's all that matters.

[He smiles gently, then leans in and kisses her lightly on the forehead before locking eye contact with her again.]

Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

[For a moment, it's all she can do to just hold his gaze, blushing just a bit and smiling like a fool. It takes her a few beats before she snaps back into reality, ducking her head slightly, her tone playful.]

Hmm... Nice as this is, I can't just keep stealing all your warmth forever. Maybe we should head inside~?

[He makes an affirming noise.]

Home... or someplace else?

...Did you have anywhere in mind?

[He hadn't really gotten that far yet. Dammit.]

I... didn't consider that yet. Wherever you want to go is fine with me.

[She gives a soft chuckle, shaking her head amusedly. Normally, she'd be all for a nice, long date with the whole day ahead of them like this, but her usual Take It Slow attitude just doesn't seem to want to work today.

Instead, she just presses a teasing kiss to his lips before giving him a playful look over the top of her glasses. ~~What in the world has gotten into her today.~~]

Somewhere quiet, don't you think? [Her tone takes a sudden shift from playful to outright flirtatious.] Just the two of us...?

[...Ooh, that teasing is cruel, Litchi. But a cruel he really likes. And he returns that look, smiling back.]

Mmm. I like that idea.

[...What's gotten into him, for that matter. But that's just one question. The other he hasn't quite figured out an answer for. Most places in the village see traffic and they can't simply send Tao and Tsubaki away.]

[Yeah, she's trying to think of an alternative herself. Can't just kick the girls out... but then again, she can't really trust them not to barge right in, either. (Well. Tsubaki she can trust, but Tao? Nuh uh.) Somewhere quiet and private...]

...Maybe we should see if there are any open apartments...? [She's only half joking.]

[Half joking or not... well, he sounds like he's half joking too. Maybe wouldn't be a bad idea if they can't get the privacy they want.]

A private sanctuary. Can't say that's a bad idea. One worth remembering.

[She gives the collar of his coat a playful tug.]

It might be something to come back to, if the girls aren't out and about today. Hopefully home will be private enough.

[And he gently brushes away a few strands of hair that found their way closer to her eyes.]

With any luck. [...Though someplace more private is honestly tempting. But maybe they can make the most of being at home first.] Let's go, then?

[That gentle brush sends a jolt through her. She gives him a bright smile before a quick kiss on his cheek.]

Yes, let's. It'll be nice to warm up, hm~?

Warm up, relax, not worry about anything...

[And he pulls out of the hug, but wraps an arm around her waist as he turns to start guiding them back home.]

[Sticking as close as she can to him without making either of them trip, she gives a lilting laugh.]

Hmm... I'm not so sure about relaxing, to be honest...

[And he raises an eyebrow with a bit of a wry smile.]

Well. Depends on your definition.

I suppose that's fair enough. [She gives him a soft bump with her hip, still in far too high spirits.]

We'll just have to wait and see, hm~?

Edited 2011-02-15 02:29 (UTC)

[The bump provokes a light laugh and him to tighten his grip momentarily, turning and pressing his lips to her temple for a moment.]

Guess so.

[Once his grip loosens and his lips leave her temple, she slips away with another soft laugh, all but dancing just out of reach. They're almost home anyway, she can act like a schoolgirl if she wants. The door isn't even ten feet away.]

I don't suppose you'd happen to know what the girls are up to for now...? [Or where they are. Please say "not in the house."]

I don't. Tsubaki might've gone out, and I didn't see Tao on the way out...

[He does catch that drift and hopes similarly...]

[Just what she wanted to hear. As she opens the door, she beckons for him to follow...]

Hmm... Maybe we'll have some peace and quiet after all. I almost won't know what to do with myself~

[Oh, he follows inside, knowing smile crossing his lips, shutting the door... and locking it, behind him.]

I'm sure we'll think of something.

[Another soft giggle breaks free of her as the lock tumbles. Still playing hard-to-get, she just keeps backing away juuust out of reach. Although she's just bumped into the couch accidentally. Oops.]

I'm open to suggestions.

I'll try not to disappoint.

[Suggestions? Okay. When she bumps into the couch, he'll draw closer and try to pull her close. If he does... well. There will be quite a loving kiss given to her.]

[Yeah, she's not fighting that. She just returns the kiss, winding her arms up around his neck and pulling herself in as close against him as possible.]

[As she presses in closer, Thirteen's hand reaches up and gently cradles the back of her head, and the other goes around the small of her back.

He holds the kiss as long as he can, only breaking it when he needs to breathe.]

[When he breaks the kiss, Litchi takes the opportunity to nuzzle his neck, trailing a few kisses along the bottom edge of his jaw. It's been far too long since she's had a chance to be with him like this... locked door aside, she's sure she has to make the best of it while she can.]

[Far too long. And it's one of the only times he's ever managed to be alone with her since they finally admitted their love for one another.

His fingers running gently through her hair, he leans down and kisses her cheek, pressing more along them until he finds his way back to her lips again.]

[She gives a soft, contented sigh before bringing up one hand to rest on the back of his head, leaning up to deepen the kiss.

It's at this point that Lao Jiu takes the hint and bails out. No awkward panda.]
