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!]

No no.

[Rei waves a hand to correct Fenimore, reaching for sponges.]

You take a quick shower to rinse yourself before getting in a public bath, so you don't dirty the water. It's Japanese etiquette, at least.

Oh. [She glances over at the bathing pond] I hadn't thought about it, but that's a good idea.

[The bath here mightn't be entirely without fresh water circulating, but it did seem more likely to have the water stick around more than in a river or a bathtub. She looks back to Rei and tries to follow her lead in case she misses out on any other etiquette, starting by reaching for a sponge herself -- something she's also not used for cleaning herself before, but it seems easy enough to figure out.]

I guess that's another good reason to come with you before I tried to come as a surprise.

Well, maybe. At least this way you're learning the proper way to do things.

[She smiles warmly and just goes about a quick shower, washing quickly and running the sponge along her skin after dipping it in some soap. The whole affair takes about two minutes and then she's stepping out, waiting for Fenimore before going to the pool proper.

[While she doesn't take much longer than Rei to wash, Fenimore is a little later in finishing: in part because she waited to see whether there was anything specific that Rei was doing, and in part because she got a little, uh, distracted at first when watching Rei. But she catches herself and returns her attention to washing herself, stepping out about a minute after Rei.]

It's better to learn the proper ways first. I -- we can figure out the...the improper ways after.

[She'd like to think that she'd do some extravagant gesture to accompany that statement, like perhaps even literally sweeping Rei off her feet and carrying her to the bath, but that's a bit beyond her current boldness. She is bold enough to sneak in a quick kiss on Rei's cheek to try to convey what she meant by "improper," though, before starting to walk towards the pool.]

[Rei purrs deep in the back of her throat at the kiss, returning it and sliding an arm around Fenimore's waist as they enter the warm water. Shuddering with delight at the warmth of the pool, she heads towards one of the underwater benches and sinks down to her neck in it.]

Improper ways sound like a lot of fun. Maybe you'll be able to help me come up with some new ways to act...improper...soon.

[She feels a shiver down her spine as she hears the purr. She settles in next to Rei -- well, with the arm around her waist, it would be harder to not but she would have done so anyway -- and nestles her head against Rei's shoulder. Both the contact and the warm water of the bath feel wonderful, and she's very glad Rei suggested this. It was a good idea. She slips an arm around Rei's waist in return and looks up at her from her place on her shoulder.]

Are you asking me to be creative, dear? I might be able to do that.

[She...hopes, at least. Her knowledge of such things is somewhat limited and thus so is her ability to be creative, but she's definitely willing to give it a try and some thought.]

[Rei looks over nodding slightly. Creative would be something she'd very much like Fenimore to be. The more creative the better.]

Oh yes...yes I am...

[And then she kisses Fenimore again with a somewhat too exaggerated wink.]

[Fenimore giggles at the wink, but she tries to adopt a serious expression as she swings herself around to straddle Rei, kneeling on the bench and draping her arms over Rei's shoulders. She mostly succeeds at keeping her expression serious, though she can't keep a small smile from edging into it. She brings her face in close to look deep into her girlfriend's eyes, looking down slightly -- the positioning has Fenimore the taller one this time, though the difference is about as slight as it normally is the other way around. She manages to add a little huskiness to her voice as she speaks, with only a hint of nervousness.]

Your wish is my command, my love.

[She doesn't diverge much at the opening, bringing her lips to meet Rei's. She has plenty of time to include some creativity.]

[Rei gazes up at Fenimore, as mystified as only a lovestruck teenager can be. Her lips part in a sigh of contentment as she kisses back, arms reaching to slide around her girlfriend's hips. Oh...yes...this is exactly the sort of thing she had in mind when she said creativity. Something new, and something definitely exciting.]

I...would say you're the mind-reader here, not...me. [Because you're giving her just what she wants!]

[Fenimore's small smile grows, thrilled by the effect she had on Rei and relieved that she hadn't messed it up.]

If I am, it's only with you -- maybe that's why you're always on my mind.

[Maybe later, she'll realize how cheesy what she just said was, but she's much too in the moment for self-reflection. Rei's reaction was more than enough encouragement to continue trying to be creative, and the combination of the reaction and memories of when Rei had briefly pinned her has given her an idea of how she might do so.

While beginning another kiss, she shifts slightly to retain her balance as she reaches around behind herself and gently guides Rei's arms off of her hips -- with some reluctance, admittedly. The touch is electrifying, but she wants to see what Rei's reaction might be if she stops her from returning the favour as she ministers to her. ...Not that Fenimore is sure she'll be able to hold out any better than Rei might, currently, with how new and exciting everything about it is, but it's worth a try.

She doesn't explain her intentions for the moment, and she also tries another small avenue of creativity by softly nibbling Rei's lower lip for a moment before returning to the regular kissing.]

[Well...Rei is a little confused about why, but if that's how Fenimore wants things, then she'll definitely acquiesce. There's not really much she can do or say, but every touch is a delight, and each nibble is enough to send a shock through her system.

You've got her completely captive, Girlfriend, as there is no way in hell she's even attempting to get away. She's too curious about what'll come next...and how delicious it will be. What do you do with your very own Sailor Soldier?]

[Drive her wild -- or, well, that's the plan. She's not entirely sure this will work, but that is the danger of being creative, even if it seems Rei has been pleased with what she's tried so far. And if it doesn't work, she's pretty sure they won't be short of other options.

She slows for a second, momentarily uncertain due to Rei's slight confusion, but she soon picks back up on her attempts to act a little more dominant, her kissing turning a little rougher than usual as she moves from Rei's lips to the rest of her body, to the point of nearly leaving a hickey on Rei's neck, though she stops herself short of actually leaving a mark. She is considering perhaps leaving one somewhere more easily concealed if Rei doesn't dislike the somewhat less gentle displays of affection (though she really should ask before doing so). She continues to hold Rei's wrists, in part to keep her girlfriend half-pinned down and in part to keep her balance as she shifts her weight over Rei's lap to counterbalance her lips moving lower. She is starting to indicate that she might start doing more with her hands in a bit, though, as she pulls Rei's hands closer to her body so that she can reach out with a finger to lightly brush her girlfriend' ships without letting go of her girlfriend's wrists.

As she does move lower, her face begins to dip below the waterline and, after a moment of breathing in the water, her hair begins to glow a light blue. This might be a surprise -- she's definitely told Rei she can breathe underwater, but it's less certain whether she mentioned the hair glowing. If Rei asked for details about being Ferines, it might have come up, but even then, this is the first time Fenimore has shown the effect, for lack of other opportunity.]

[Rei seems to respond very positively to the less than gentle affections, sighing softly or letting out little gasps with each new kiss and new sensation. This is all completely new to her, and just as pleasant as their lovemaking the night before. Her hands clench slightly, and she frets her lip, very clearly enjoying herself and trying very hard not to just moan so loudly the village could hear even from here.

She shivers visibly when she feels Fenimore fingers sliding along her skin, and is readily pliant and happy to let Fenimore's hands pull her own wherever she'd like. It's not like she'd say no, when each little thing has resulted in interesting and wonderful feelings. As her girlfriend lowers herself into the water more, Rei's eyes open from their heavily lidded state, surprised just slightly that the blonde's hair is glowing...but she had mentioned it before.]

S-so...this is what you meant, when you said your hair glowed.

[Rei's not sure Fenimore can hear, but...her hand slips free a bit and begins to twirl through some of the other girl's hair. It really is lovely, and a little surprising...but in a good way.

Like literally everything else that's happened in this bath!]

[She can hear enough of Rei's words to fill in what she doesn't make out. As she feels Rei's hands in her hair, she releases her grip on Rei's wrists and slowly resurfaces. She'd prefer to look in control, with her efforts to seem in a dominant position, but it's clear from her expression that she's barely in control of herself and her own desire. Rei's reactions to her actions have lit a fire in her more strongly than she'd expected and it's getting harder to remember why she's aiming for self-control.]

Yes, it is. ...I've not shown this to anyone else since I came to Luceti. Only you.

[She leans in so that her breath can be felt on Rei's ear. She tries for a husky tone, but there's a bit of a tremble to it as she comments on the lip-fretting she noticed Rei doing earlier.]

A-and you said that there's no one else here. I'm the -- the only one who can hear you. So I -- y-you don't have to hold back, you know.

[Oh, and meanwhile, now that she's not holding on to Rei's wrists? That's leaving her hands free to roam elsewhere. She's slowly and obviously moving them towards particularly sensitive areas...and then stopping short of actually reaching them and venturing elsewhere, repeating the teasing procedure.]

[Rei smiles faintly as Fenimore continues to take the more dominant role. She can't help it, just like she can't help letting out a very audible gasp when she feels Fenimore's roaming hands on her tender parts. Leaning back, she rolls her head against the edge of the pool and just...let's go.]

Oh...that...that feels so...I never thought...ooooh

[It's not faked at all, and her voice trembles with each syllable. Though, urged on by the hands against her chest and freed, Rei slides her own up to gently massage Fenimore's stomach and other bits. She'd like to think she'd gotten an idea of where her girlfriend liked to be touched most, so she tried to concentrate on that rather than explore. To...make things even.]

[Fenimore's breath hitches in her throat at the touch and as her girlfriend's hands continue, she shudders and lets out a soft groan. Wound up as she is, the touch feels particularly intense and while her own hands continue to move, her movements are a bit more erratic and less controlled.]

Ahhhh, Rei, I can't -- [A gasp.] Yes, there, please, I...Rei, I love you!

[She lowers her head against Rei's shoulder and this time she does place a hickey in the crook of Rei's neck. She's pretty sure she won't last much longer.]

[Rei's own breathing intensifies with the kiss and the varied movements as well, her heart pounding in her chest as blood surges through every inch of her. Her face blossoms with color as bliss begins to grow and grow...her own motions not stopping in the slightest.]

I...I love you too! Spirits...gods...I...Ahhh!

[Rei shudders and just loses herself completely, hoping to push them both over the edge at the same moment.]
