My...? Ow—!

[Melody gives a good tug when she gets caught in the tangled mess.

But that isn't all, and as Tifa tries to shoo the pup away with one hand (with no luck), she points up at Eustace's.]


But your hair... I-is it really that bad?

[SURELY not as bad as his???]

[Tifa's brow furrows.]

Wait...

[She sees that familiar twitch of his lip, and the way he looks away from her.]

Are you about to laugh at me?

[WOW, SHE DID HER BEST NOT TO LAUGH AT HIM???]

[This sly wolf... And here she was trying to save his pride by stifling her own shock (and maybe some giggles) and how much volume his hair had and he's not even trying!? Well, now that the cat's out of the bag and her face is as red as a tomato, Tifa's own eyes gain a new glint, even if she tries to pretend to remain stern about his attitude.]

Yeah? Well...

[And with her hands, she shoves her fingers into his hair and gives it a good ruffle.]

[And there's the Eustace she knows and adores so very much, ad now that she's gotten a little bit of a smile out of him, she can rest a bit easier too, but she keeps her fingers in his hair, nails brushing and scratching gently at the base of his ears while she watches in awe as it all turns into a great big mop.]

You look like Eria does after she has a bath.

[She hears the wolf in question bark quietly in protest at her.]

... Are you sure you don't wanna try a cool bath? Or shower? It's pretty bad.

[As bad as hers? Well, she has no idea but probably not.]

Uh huh...

[She catches her lip between her teeth, trying to keep some of her amusement at bay. She doesn't want to wound his pride too much, it seems it has already been battered and bruised plenty today, even before she got back.]

Are you sure you don't need me to carry you there?

[Okay, maybe one last little tease.

Though, it remains to be seen whether she'll be able to get up off the floor.]

[personal profile] starshower 2023-08-05 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[And another grin back.]

If it's for you? Yeah.

[Words that she may or may not eat later. But until then, she's going to comfortably lay on the floor with him in spite of how hot it is or how sweaty they are. They've had "worse" nights.]

... But can you? You'll have to get up first.

[Tifa's eyes close at the weird sensation... Even with the clothes separating them, the skin that does touch... She can't tell if it's more sticky or slippery, but she remains perfectly still as he moves, watching as some of her hair clings to him.]

Okay, but don't push yourself if you can't...

[She's already a little concerned...........

Not because she doesn't trust him, but because she knows how dreamotion can go a little haywire when things are like this.]

["Substance"... As if this isn't just their own sweat reacting to the world around them. Something she didn't know that it could do, and not something she wants to think about ever again after this.]

Do whatever you need to.

[If it means freezing her a little, then so be it. Honestly? She'd welcome it at this point—he is like a walking radiator turned up to maximum in the heat.

Which reminds her...]


... I'm sorry I'm not much help.

[Beneath him, Tifa's whole body shivers from the sudden cold. It's both a relief and a surprise, and while it is easing in the moment that it touches her, it doesn't take long before it, too, grows warmer. It does, however, help to loosen them from the floor...

...

Only not in the way she might have hoped, because as soon as she tries to test by moving her hands—no stick, at least!—they slide right back out from under her and sends her head against the floor.]

[personal profile] starshower 2023-08-05 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah...

[She huffs out with a sheepish laugh, but it turns into a full-on giggle when she looks up at him and sees his hair, and the panicked look on front of his face. She doesn't mean to start laughing, especially given the situation, but the ridiculousness of it all has finally started to sink in as she rests her head back against his hand.

Just give her a moment.]


Sorry... [She catches her breath, her face red not just from the heat and embarrassment, but from the amusement now.] Spoke a little too soon...?

[The laughter probably doesn't help because it only adds more of that warm buzz around them—the same kind that always comes to life when she hears his laugh, sees him smile like that. She can't help but get caught up in the moment for just a second longer, her fingers running through his damp hair. After all the chaos, she's just glad to see that smile again.

So when he makes his suggestion, it takes Tifa an extra second or two to drop back into reality and realize what he's asking her to do.]


I can do that. But... [She bites down on her lip, another grin forming.] ... I might need a little boost for the vines.

[She's going to ignore the groans—they are working hard to get them all out of this plight, okay? Groan all you like, Eria will be thanking them later...!

Plus, she has far better things to pay attention to as Eustace lowers his face to hers, and when the floof of his hair droops along the sides of her face, she giggles quietly against his lips again.]


...Well, let's give it a try and we'll see...

[This tease...

She smiles into the kiss, as tender and sweet as always, but when he pulls back, he'll see a little flicker of frustration, her head lifting ever so slightly to chase after him. With a little wiggle of her hips beneath him and a look of pretend concentration, a few vines creep out across the floor, small and thin. It's clear that she isn't making much of an effort, and some of them even shrivel up at the heat before falling away.]


Mm... Doesn't look like it. Needs just a little more juice...
