[ they laugh softly, and then take the paw on her thigh to hold it as they move to sit in Req's lap - once they're there, they drape their other arm over her shoulder, hugging her close. ]
I'll make sure to show you as much love as I can, then. Is there anywhere that's off limits?
[ their voice drops quiet, their speech more drawn out than usual, as if they're trying to search for the right words as they go. ]
When you're a lot of things, it's hard to be trapped like that. It always feels like there's something missing, even if you don't mind what you currently are.

[ she shivers, but leans back again, letting her chin tip up a bit. ]
... yeah, I do.
no subject
no subject
still.
the bite sends a jolt of old fear through her-- it's certainly been a while-- but her whole body goes stiff, unmoving, and her breath catches.
She can't respond to the touches because the only thing there right now is bubbling panic. ]
no subject
Ah, I'm sorry.

and her claws unsheathe, digging into their arm without breaking the skin, flustered and more embarrassed than angry. ]
--Don't just bite people!
no subject
You can actually claw me, if you'd like.
no subject
[ sheaths her claws again, frowning. ]
Not my kink.
Just-- don't bite me. And don't burn me, I dunno what your powers are like.
no subject
no subject
... yeah, s'... fine.
[ she hesitates a moment before drawing her paw out of Sashay's hands, and settles it instead against their thigh. ]
no subject
Mm, so what do you like? You should tell me everything.
no subject
I dunno, I just-- normal stuff, I guess. ... being touched, and like-- appreciated... cared about. Schmoopy junk?
I usually just do this stuff with my girlfriend, okay.
no subject
[ they kiss the shell of her ear and then whisper: ]
You want to feel loved.
no subject
... yeah, I guess.
no subject

no subject
She doesn't respond for a minute, ears pressed back, more from embarrassment than anything, but. ]
... nah.
Uh-- would it be easier if I had like, normal hands.
no subject
[ they kiss Req's collarbone, and then nuzzle their face against her chest. ]
Mm, it's nostalgic.
no subject
Well, it's-- it's just a dumb... pretendy thing, anyway. Amaranth turned me into this in her weird world dream and uh..
[ hesitates a long moment, curling her free arm around Sashay's back. ]
... missed being able to change shape and stuff.

no subject
[ she's... quiet for a long moment again. ]
... yeah.
Uh, at least in a dream you can do whatever you want, right?
no subject
[ they squeeze as much of her paw as they're able to hold, reaching up to scratch behind an ear with her free hand.
also,
there's something wriggling against her cheek? kind of like a very thick tongue licking her??? ]
no subject
[ -- BITES IT
Wait. Does not bite hard because uh, ]
Mnngh???
no subject
wince in pain. it's kind of easy to miss it, but what's more noticable is the sudden slight reddening of their cheeks.
also, closer inspection reveals that what was "licking" Req is definitely a tendril that's coming from their back. ]
My. What a reaction.
no subject
[
Spits it out, blushing. ]
Reflex! What's uh-- what's up with... your new friend...
no subject
[ and there's another one, gently looping itself around Req's forearm. ]
I'm going to love as much of you as I can, as much as I can. And it's hard to do that with just two hands, isn't it?
