[artisticliberty]

[lifts his other hand to gently brush some hair from noah's face]

I understand. Still... you, like the city, are lovely to behold.

[crystallinelore]

[notably the crystal that encroaches on his face and throat, seems to make up his right arm, is the same as the panes of crystal in the city's structures, the same as the tower looming impossibly tall over the city.

he doesn't pull away from Fox's hand, just bites his lip.]

I shall have to take your word for it.

[artisticliberty]

[fox barely realizes he's leaning in closer until he can feel the warmth from noah's body]

Am I overstepping my bounds? We have only just met tonight, I realize... and yet...

[he trails off, his thumb gently moving along noah's cheekbone to the edge of where the crystal encroaches on his cheek]

[crystallinelore]

[Fox has a full foot in height on Noah. That's some good height difference.

Noah's swaying a little closer too, leaning into the touch. His skin is warm, and the crystal cooler, but warmed by his body, warmer still where it's thin near the edges.]

No, I... It's all right.

[artisticliberty]

[THAT'S SOME GOOD GOOD HEIGHT DIFFERENCE

fox's fingers trail down to noah's chin and gently tilt his head up]

... then, if you'll allow it...

[he leans down to close the distance between them, brushing his lips against noah's]

[crystallinelore]

[Noah is leaning up as well, onto his tiptoes, to meet the kiss. So he seems pretty amenable!]

[artisticliberty]

[fox kisses him softly, sweetly, just taking his time to explore noah's lips and mouth before deepening it, kind of playfully urging him on to see what he likes. his hand holding noah's links their fingers together, thumb running along knuckles and any crystal he finds, while the other stays at noah's cheek]

[crystallinelore]

[his hand appears to be entirely crystal, though occasionally he'll find a strap of leather that seems to be... partially embedded in the crystal? however far he searches, there won't be flesh anywhere up his right arm.

as for the kiss, Noah seems... somewhat shy about it, but interested, letting himself follow along with Fox's prompting. one might expect him to have fangs, given how feline he is, but evidently his teeth are entirely human. easy enough to tell, with the way he's licking into Fox's mouth as if to explore it.]

[artisticliberty]

[fox actually does have fangs, which he's being careful with, but noah will definitely find them out pretty quickly. he hums as he curls his tongue with noah's, and his hand at his cheek will gently trail down his jawline and neck, resting on his chest.

when fox finally has to break the kiss for air, his cheeks are flushed red, his pupils wide, and... there's a fluffy fox tail wiggling excitedly behind him]

[crystallinelore]

[he can feel through the cloth of noah's robes that approximately half of his chest is crystal as well, the ragged edge coming to an end a little past the halfway point. his right side seems most crystal-bound, certainly.

he kisses like he knows on some level how to take care with fangs, though, even lacking them himself, and his own slitted pupils are blown wide by the time they pause to catch their collective breath. he spots that tail and huffs a soft laugh, charmed.]

...Satisfactory, I hope...?

[artisticliberty]

[fox echoes that with a warm chuckle of his own, his breath ghosting noah's jawline]

How should I say it... say yes, it was, but also no, I want more...?

[crystallinelore]

[ah...]

We should... perhaps move somewhere a little more private, for more.

[artisticliberty]

Is there somewhere like that, where you can still see the beauty of the city? I would hate to take up the view.

[crystallinelore]

...Ah, well, this spot may be our best bet, in that case.

[artisticliberty]

There must be somewhere. Come on, let's look.

[with his hold on noah's hand, he coaxes him along, heading into the rest of the building. there must be a bedroom with a view like this one, and even though everything about this place is unfamiliar to fox--it's a dream, so it doesn't take them too long to find something.

fox's tails grow by two, swaying behind him almost coyly]

[crystallinelore]

[there are in fact nice bedrooms past much of the other merrymaking, with nice big windows! The man at the front desk of the apartments even waves them along with a wink, which makes Noah go BRIGHT red, but ultimately they find a lovely private place.]

...You appear to have gained more tails?

[artisticliberty]

Oh, yes. They appear when I am... well, excited.

[swish swish]

Do they bother you?

[crystallinelore]

Not in the slightest. I have a tail of my own, even.

[though it's hidden by his robes.]

I was just getting worried about my powers of observation, to have missed three of them.

[artisticliberty]

They are not always present, but I have seen as many as nine appear at once. A mystery for the ages.

[looking out over the city through the large windows for a moment, admiring, before he boldly... takes a seat on the edge of the bed]

[crystallinelore]

So their nature is unknown to you?

[he says with an air of academic curiosity, though he's taking a seat at Fox's side, intentionally hip to hip.]

[artisticliberty]

I did not have them originally, if that is what you are asking.

[leans over and places his hand along noah's chest again, feeling out what he can through the fabric, watching him for reactions]

Will you show me yours?

[crystallinelore]

[The cloth is heavy enough that Noah can't feel much but the blunt pressure of that touch, but he flushes anyway when Fox finds where crystal and flesh meet.]

Certainly, though it's not so impressive as your tails.

[he's pulling away, though, standing again-- to hitch up his robe like a lady lifting her skirts, a fluffy white-tipped tail swishing below the raised hem.]

[artisticliberty]

[oh it's cute '^'

fox smiles and leans back where he's sitting, holding his hand out to noah to encourage him to come closer]

Do you mind if I ask?

[he means about the crystal, but it's vague on purpose]

[crystallinelore]

[Noah comes closer, leavong his robes in disarray, hitching a bare knee up onto the edge of the bed so he's very nearly in Fox's lap.]

I will not guarantee you an answer, but feel free to ask anything

[artisticliberty]

[hello there knee, meet fox's hand]

Does it hurt if I touch you?
