faithfulflame | Fourteenth Prayer: A Rekindling. [Video/Action]

[It’s been a while since Rei could even find the time to make a broadcast over the network, and given her encounter with Anakin Skywalker the last time she’d offered to do flame readings she’s not going to be offering that today. Instead, she’s got a question, and now that her leg has gotten back to normal, there’s also a bit of housekeeping to take care of before some very, very important plans happen. As well as some admissions and requests to take care of.

So, early in the day, she addresses the journal with a forced smile, because one the questions is a little embarrassing. Normally she’d probably have just talked to Yukiko and Yu, but the Inaba teenagers have both seemingly departed now…which directly relates to the other subject at hand, in fact. Ami being gone didn’t help, of course.]

Video:

Hello everyone, this is Rei Hino. I’m afraid to say that most of the people helping me tend to Tsukino Shrine have departed Luceti. If there’s anyone who has free time and would be willing to help me maintain it, I would really appreciate the help. Some of the work that needs to be done simply needs more hands to be done. I’d be willing to repay anyone willing to help with things I’m able to make. If you’re interested, please let me know either here at the shrine or through the journal.

And secondly, I was wondering if anyone had some insight on some exercises for getting back a leg into shape after an injury? My leg was hurt badly recently, and I’m still a little shaky at times, enough so that I’m not comfortable with normal physical activity beyond walking. I don’t want to strain myself, but I would like to get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

[And then she closes the journal out.]

Action:

[Later in the day, Rei heads out to visit two very specific people. Raine Sage and Fayt Leingod can expect visits. Raine by Sailor Mars, and Fayt by Rei herself.

After that business is taken care of, Rei hits the shops and starts to gather up some things. Clothing, boxes of food, board games, and pastries in addition to food stuff and a bottle of wine. All the things one needs for an evening alone with her special someone.

And by nightfall, Rei’s got Tsukino Shrine all prepared for her promised evening with Fenimore. Some food, a present, futons, and all the things they might need for the next two evenings. Hopefully it will be a peaceful, uninterrupted night!]

"And you're not upset that I am spending the night away?" With a strange girl...

[Rei...]

Why would I be upset? I mean, she's your girlfriend and it will only be the two of you. Together...

[And... her cheerful expression suddenly shifts. At this point her verbal is more of a mumble.]

Sharing the same bed, sleeping and cuddling....make-out

[Breathes.]

--Most importantly! I want details when you come back after the kid is tucked in. Details down to the hip! [Yes, she even implies that.]

"...are you jealous?" Rei sounds somewhat incredulous.

... by the way, just how hard is the work?

Well, the hardest parts are already done. Mending fences and wall panels is easy enough though. It's mostly just switching them out.

[Fenimore wouldn't mind if Rei didn't maintain that modicum, proper or no.... She understands, though. She has her own concerns of modesty, even if they are satisfied by just being mostly under the sheets, and she would have needed to find her own way to cover herself if they weren't there. After all, this is still a very new thing. Still, it speaks volumes of how much more secure she feels in Rei's presence now that she isn't moving to cover any scars that are visible, though she's still trying to forget they exist.]

I'm glad that I was able to change your mind.

[She blushes. While it's not what she meant, it feels a little full of herself to suggest she was responsible for making Rei change her mind about this sort of thing -- though, she supposes there's some truth to it. And then she's also blushing because some of the reasons she was glad that Rei'd changed her mind were a bit shallower than others.]

For more than just the...obvious reasons, I mean. Sharing that moment with you felt -- really special. I might have dreamt that I would, someday, [~~lately in great detail~~] but I never imagined it would be this wonderful. Or that I could be so happy sharing this moment with you, too.

[Well, it was more wonderful than she'd imagined in some ways, at least. In some ways, it hadn't gone as well -- she'd not imagined awkward moments of not knowing what to do, for one -- but there were more ways that it was better than not. And even if it hadn't been, her heart is much too full for her to be at all objective right now. She kisses Rei, equally as gentle and affectionate as Rei had been.]

I love you. So much.

[Well, it's certainly reassuring to hear that Fenimore had been dreaming about it too, because she certainly had. More than once...and in rather explicit detail as well. Parts of her were really glad she'd gone through with it, even if it had been a little nervous at times. And those awkward moments had definitely enhanced those fears, but in the end it'd all worked out.

She grins at the statement, nodding.]

I love you too. For...so many reasons it hurts.

[Breaking down barriers, accepting her for who she was too, and just...treating her like she was normal. Sure, maybe some of her quirks didn't really apply to someone who grew up around magic...but where Rei was from? That was all a bit of a big deal.]

[Fenimore's smile grows, thrilled to hear that Rei feels as strongly as she does.]

I know that feeling.

[She also has so many reasons to love Rei. Rei had accepted everything she'd shown her about herself and had given such complete support. And other reasons, of course, but those ones are particularly on her mind after the previous evening.

She lifts her arm from where it's been draped over Rei's waist in order to brush some of her girlfriend's hair back behind her ear -- mostly as an excuse to touch her hair and her face. Even if this means that Fenimore's no longer technically embracing Rei, she remains pressed up against her. The closeness and the way their warmth mingles through the blankets is intoxicating.]

I think I know what I'd like you to promise, now. [She's referring to the joke she'd made back at the clinic when Rei was recovering, about making Rei promise something to keep her in her mind.] If you think it's an acceptable one...would you promise that we'll do this again sometime?

[Her blush from her previous comments had started to fade, but welp there it is again.]

[Perhaps it was the magical girl's ability to just accept and overcome any and all obstacles in the name of love. She leans into that touch, her own hand coming up to rest against Fenimore's back, gently pressed against the small of it. Settling in like this is easy enough, but...then there's that question.

One that she takes very seriously. And one that sets her face on fire!]

I...I...uh...

[She stops herself, exhaling slowly, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart. And answers in what she hopes is a sultry voice but probably comes out a little bit squeaky.]

I...would love that. As...often as we are able. And when it's appropriate. I...think...sharing these moments with you when we can would be...well...a-amazing.

Hmm, well, I suppose I could give it a shot if I have some free time! It might be fun to try something new for a change. Something a bit less delicate than making watches or music boxes.

Well, I'd be very grateful. Whenever you're able to stop by, I'll have some small things for you to do. And I'll see about making some sweets for anyone that helps too.

Ah, you know the way to a man's heart, I see.

I should have some time to come by after school if you'll be around.

And when you learned techniques from the spirits, were you able to deepen your previously existing abilities?

I was, yes.

[In a way, anyway.]

If you're able to apply that thought process to your healing, instead of thinking of it as something entirely separate, then perhaps...

[But she wasn't certain. She honestly wasn't certain if this could really be taught, was the problem, or just what "Mars" natural abilities were like for her.]

You mean blending one with another?

[She thinks about this. It sounds...plausible, given that she'd been interweaving spells for some time now, but she wants to make certain.]

If it's possible at all, then yes. Although fire and healing are two different schools of thought entirely...

Are they? What about heat therapy? In my world, some people use heat to promote healing...

Hm... well, the energies can be combined here, so you do have a point. It would be in how you choose to apply the technique.

Something...to think about at least. Thank you, Raine-san. Or...Raine-sensei.

You're welcome -- whichever you prefer is fine. I'll think a little more on those ideas, myself.

Thank you, I appreciate your help.
