*is home quite late, after a frustrating day in his lab*

*wanders into the kitchen before noticing the absence of you*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/20/2007 18:04:13

*comes in, having disposed of all her reading materials*

*nearly missing a street brawl with a wolf poacher* :\

*peers in the fridge first*

*isn't going to come looking for you first, isn't, isn't* :s

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 13:18:04

*is sitting on the kitchen counter* *watches you silently and waits for you to notice him*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 14:01:20

*turns around, holding a can of beer*

*notices you, a little startled, as she pops the tab* Oh! You're back?.

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 14:15:12

I was working late. *shakes his head* Bad day. I think Aulendil will be out for a while. It's such a shame after that whole business with Vána's experiment.

*conversationally* You look tired. You're not overworking, are you?

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 14:29:48

*slides out a chair at the kitchen table and takes a seat*

You look tired

I do? *reassesses and straightens her shoulders* Oh. It's recruiting, you know. Tough in the beginning but it'll get there. Especially with Oromë out there, I can't get the message out clear enough. :\

Out? Like, as in find-a-new-assistant-out? Which means you'd be here even less right?

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 14:40:58

*shrugs* No, I don't think I'll look for a new assistant. I doubt I'd find someone as -- dedicated -- as Aulendil. I guess I'll just be carrying the workload alone for a while.

*smiles slightly* I hope you didn't get into any scuffles, now.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 14:43:56

I guess I'll just be carrying the workload alone for a while.

Oh. *long pause* How long do you think?

I hope you didn't get into any scuffles, now.

*mumbles and shifts in her seat* Maybe just one.

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 14:49:22

I don't know. I've been training him to re-corporate quickly and I think he's getting the hang of it. I'll know by the end of the week, anyway.

*laughs softly* Nobody required hospitalisation, I hope?

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 16:30:54

Oh, okay. Then you'd have more time for me yourself if he did.

*sticks her chin out* *a little more decisively* They've got to learn somehow. Traps are unkind, not to mention blatant abuse of quotas.

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 17:52:29

He'll learn. In time. He's smart and he doesn't seem to remember that whole Evil aspect of his previous incarnation. Which is good!

*softens a bit* Well, there's no one who can teach them that better than you.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 18:03:33

*with a little concern* But you're working with him closely, right? I mean if there were any worries on that score now... *clams up, actually remembering this is a sensitive issue* As long as you trust him, that's good.

*maybe smiles a tiny bit* Maybe it'll work for the vegetarian trend?

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 18:06:47

*frowns a bit* Well. I suppose I will have to be careful. But I hope that he has changed. I think he has.

*snorts*

*hopefully* Speaking of which? Do we have dinner plans?

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 18:14:24

*has no idea how to read that snort* ... *realizes that and inwardly admonishes herself*

Oh. Um. *hadn't thought that far yet* *glances at the fridge* I thought it always was your turn to cook? /:)

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 18:16:57

*laughs softly and stands up* *moves towards you and then reaches past you to pick up the phone*

*dials a takeaway* Hi. Yeah. We'll have the Ainu-sized Vegetarian Pizza. With garlic bread, thanks.

*hangs up and smiles bashfully* Sorry. I guess I forgot?.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 18:19:33

*feels kind of indelicate as she finishes her beer* That's okay. I was just teasing. Kind of? :s

eaches past you to pick up the phone

*takes full note of that*

Oh you've still got a little--- *rubs a smudge of grease on your cheek*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/21/2007 18:23:21

*wrinkles his nose* Do I? *rubs at his cheek too, his fingers colliding with yours* *absently gathers your hand in his*

Hi.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/21/2007 20:41:03

*meets your eyes* *doesn't really notice what her fingers are doing any more*

*head-tilt* Honey, I'm home. :)

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 03:51:00

*smiles gently* So'm I. Fancy that?

*leans forward and very gently brushes his lips over yours*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 08:01:52

*slides her hands down to your biceps as you lean in*

*closes her lips over yours*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 14:07:00

*can't keep from smiling* *wraps his arms around your waist and continues to kiss you leisurely*

This -- I've missed --

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 14:14:42

*goes a little weak as you pull her up into your arms* *how is it that you do that?*

Has it really been that... *breathes against your lips* --long? *not that she's lost track or anything*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 14:29:15

Maybe? I don't know.

*runs one hand down and holds it against the small of your back* *groans as the doorbell rings*

*looks at you a bit bashfully* That'll be the pizza. They are the quickest delivery in town.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 14:35:51

*can still feel your hand on her back when you pull away*

*weighs the situation*

*leans back with her hands on the counter, watching you move to the door*

*careful smile* Don't tell me you're still hungry?

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 14:39:12

*turns at the door and walks back at you to kiss you deeply* I'm bloody starving.

*goes to pay the pizza delivery guy before coming back into you*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 14:42:24

*thinks she used to be a little better at reading your entendres*

*reaches around you to lift the lid on the box*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 14:44:40

*closes his fingers around your wrist* *whispers into your ear* It'll keep.

*slowly lays tiny kisses on your cheek and ear and neck*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 14:47:34

*smiles more surely*

*bends into you and lets the box drop*

*decides she never got anywhere by being passive*

*slides her hands underneath your shirt, fingering the waistband of your trousers*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 14:51:30

*shivers under your touch and traces his kisses across to the corner of your mouth*

*suddenly lifts you up onto the kitchen counter*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 14:54:00

*suddenly flushes warm*

*grasps your body with her legs, pulling you closer with kisses*

*intently, her mouth on yours* Do you want me, Aulë?

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 15:03:40

Always. I always want you.

*pulls at the waistband at your pants, dragging them down over your thighs* Always.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 15:12:05

*does the same for you, feeling the awkwardness of urgency*

*takes your lower lip lightly between her teeth*

*grips your hips with her thighs* Show me. Show me how much.

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 15:31:10

*kisses you even more heatedly* *pulls you towards him and slides into you without a ward or thought of warning*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 15:57:24

*exhales sharply, somewhere between a moan and a growl*

*tilts her head back and shifts her hips, letting you feel her*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 17:18:25

*rests his forehead against your shoulder* *grips your thighs with his fingers and starts to thrust, hard and fast*

*lets his thoughts mingle with yours, just to let you know how much he really wants this*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 18:07:08

*gets a taste of euphoria, sensing your pleasure in her mind*

*grasps your skin with her fingertips and clutches you, riding hard and panting*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 18:12:15

*lets out hoarse moan after hoarse moan and clutches you closer to him*

*tries to warn you that he will not last long*

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 18:19:00

*will take as much you've got*

*pushes her hands over your hairline*

*opens her thoughts to a little less gently as her climax surges closer*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 18:33:05

*groans and climaxes very powerfully, mindless of the fact that his fingers must be digging into you*

*manages to whisper in your mind* I -- love -- you --

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 18:42:25

Aulë-- *shudders with the feel of you, then once again*

*finds herself surprised by the contrast with your tender thoughts*

*slides to the floor with you in a tangle*

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 18:48:16

*envelopes you in his arms and just holds on to you for the longest time*

*after a while* Do you suppose the pizza's cold now?

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 18:51:00

*feels more thrown than she thought by what just happened* *is having difficulty putting the barriers back up*

*sits up and rests a hand on your chest* I thought that's why you invented microwaves. ;)

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/22/2007 18:54:08

*laughs and pulls you back down so that he can kiss you*

You're right. Of course.

	From: yavannapalurien	Date: 05/22/2007 19:08:58

Of course.

*grabs up on the table for the box* I should know better than to make you work on an empty stomach.

	From: a3ulez	Date: 05/23/2007 03:43:57

*grins* You should. *settles his arm around you quite comfortably and reaches into the box for a slize of pizza*
