[And so is another normal day, or at least as normal as one can have it in a place like Blanc. And by normal, we mean that two of our Heroes now are trapped in a situation where they're out and about on their own mission, and find themselves both lost and nearly depleted of mana. At least they managed to find shelter, a neat looking hut that seems long abandoned, because while all the facilities are there and it provided fresh water, there was absolutely no food.

At least Vietnam packed them some.]


Do you want to taste yourself or should I?

[Unfortunately, the cookies themselves have been processed over and over to the point where eating them does nothing to replenish mana. They may have to go out hunting soon for dinner, after they rest a bit.

Still she holds two up, one that looks like him, the other looking like her.]

i'm still laughing at boomerbanging

[Mana drainage, Niles has discovered, is an absolute pain in the backside. Like you're missing a limb when you know you're not - the sensation is still there and it's distracting. Usually it wouldn't be such a big deal, but when your more traditional methods of restoring it are running dry, it becomes more of an issue.

Still, it would be worse to be out and about with mana drainage if he were alone. There is shelter and an extra pair of eyes on watch with him in case of any surprise attacks - they could even sleep in shifts if need be. It'd be almost quaint.

He glances up when Vietnam speaks, and waves a hand at her.]


I'd hate to deprive you of a taste of me. I do know how much you love it.

[Hand you over, Vietnam.]

your mind is a lovely place

[As long as the job gets done - without mana they'd be sitting ducks if someone attacks. Niles has an excellent way of stealthing out of or around a situation, but if he can't use it...

He lifts the hand with the cookie in and examines it, tilting it back and forth and taking in the details. It's quite impressive actually - he can see her ponytail and the detail of her outfit, even down to little looped hook and eye buttons. It would be a shame to just eat it, if he were the sort of person who cared about that sort of thing.]


I told you I've never had any complaints. And it would be my absolute pleasure to fill whatever you want with anything you request.

[Take that however you will, Vietnam. He's just going to be over nibble on the arm of your cookie.]

blushblush. i feel like this needs little annotations. asterisks where the entendres are. **********

[Isn't that half the fun? A little danger in life never hurt anyone, except for when it did. Either way, as long as Vietnam doesn't make a swing for him in any physically threatening way they'll be just peachy. If she does, well... not so much.]

That would depend on a few things.

[Niles takes a bite out of Vietcookie's arm, and pauses to lick a smear of the chocolate filling from his thumb.]

If we're being practical, it should be whichever aids the mana issue the most. There would have to be tests to see what is more potent in restoring mana.

[Keeping up?]

And then there would have to be batch testing to see which option was the more desirable one. [Emphasis on the desire.]

It's true. It's so true.

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-06-29 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
[A business model, is that what it is?]

Well that would depend. Cream is a sweet option, and more usual for cookies like this. [Pause. Sinks teeth into the other arm of the cookie. He really can't tell if there's any change in his mana from eating this, but food is food.] You'd have to consider a whole new base recipe to make a sweer cookie savoury.

[He just watches Vietnam bite his head off - figuratively - without a wince. If she were snapping his neck, or attempting to, then they'd have issues. At least she's not biting his lower half - he'd have to take that a different way!]

is lewd

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-06-29 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Mana exchange can be their business as well. A business for two...]

That would be the safer option, sure. [He keeps the eye contact, and nibbles a line down the side of the cookie, down the torso under the arm and down the leg.]

Sometimes to get things started you have to improvise. [They'll really have to improvise in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, but he's up for the challenge.]

we'll see, we'll see...

[Talent. Talent at being a blatant, ongoing tease, really.

Ooh. That was a slightly violent bite there. His eye flits between his cookie and the one Vietnam is holding, before repeating the nibbling motion down the opposite side, pausing just long enough to say:]


I've heard there's a fruit that produces a natural sort of milk. Harvest those, whip them up and you've got an alternative that doesn't require herding cows for the rest of our lives.

[Did you hear the screeching sound as he thoroughly derailed that line of conversation? He looks pretty amused with himself, at the very least, licking at a little pool of chocolate that is welling up from a crack in the cookie's chest.]

uhuhuhuhuhu

[He has years of experience. Which he puts to use clearing up every little smear of the chocolate filling from the torso of the cookie. This works however he wants it to, really, he's just eating a cookie.

What is Vietnam thinking of? Is it something lewd?]


Flavourings are remarkably versatile.

[His eye crinkles slightly in a smile. This is rather fun.]

Not a bad way to be.

AND FROM WORK...!!!

[This doesn't exactly go amiss. Finally, he stops messing around with the cookie and lowers it.]

There's nothing wrong with chocolate.

[And he doesn't have a huge sweet tooth, or anything. Right now though, there are more interesting things in this room to focus on.]

You looked flushed. Lack of mana getting to you?

[There's just something about the way he asks that is more than a little teasing. Don't worry Vietnam, he'll hold your hand if you're feeling faint.]

kya

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-07-02 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well sometimes the best way to avoid a question is to ignore it completely.]

Not even going to say "please"?

[Still, he's holding out his hand and waving it slightly. Grab at will.]
locktouches: <user name=ferphelper site=tumblr.com> (16)

maybe she's born with it

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-07-02 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It goes both ways.

[He's not exactly being selfless - the feeling of mana flowing through his skin is a relief and a benefit, one they're both getting to experience. Lacing their fingers together make the flow seem a little stronger.]

So, how long is going to take before we feel less like death?
locktouches: <user name=bittenbittern> (10)

l'oreal, because she's worth it

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-07-03 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[Well, he can put two and two together to make four.]

So there are other ways.

[He fixes her with a stare, and a rather pointed smile.]

Do they involve sitting a little bit closer, perchance? [With less clothing on, he's guessing.]

[You can't write this stuff. Physical contain to restore mana; it's like the set up to a bad pornography.]

I see. Convenient then, hm?

[But if it gets them back to one hundred per cent again, he's fine. He carefully grips her wrist and gives her a gentle tug forwards; into a hug or a close lean depending on if she catches herself in time.]

So once we're done using our mana for ill, we're all supposed to hold hands and skip down the streets of Blanc together? [Talk about one way to promote unity.]

[personal profile] locktouches 2016-07-03 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's true that it does seem that the closer contact has an amplifying effect on the flow of mana between them. He doesn't outrightly embrace Vietnam in return, but he does rest a hand on the small of her back.]

Most people would just create potions or tablets.
