I’d like to see you try.

[ He exhales a warm breath beside her ear. ]
Besides, I like holding you. It would be a punishment to myself to banish you to the floor.
no subject
I like when you hold me.
[It makes her feel safe.]
no subject
[ He knows it can get hot or maybe the person he's holding might feel too confined, so he's not against loosening his hold, but he likes the connection. It's a comfort throughout the night. ]
no subject
You don’t have a roommate?
no subject
[ While it's rather rare to have privacy in the clans, he's been used to living out on his own in the wilds and the solitude was a blessing and a curse. For a man used to a much more social life it felt lonely, but as a man suffering from a magical affliction, it was good to be by himself. ]
Makes it easier to read.
[ And to take his pills without having to hide out in the bathroom from a nosy roommate who might question what they're for. ]

[Daisy asks, and even with her back to him he’d be able to hear the smile in her voice.]
What kind of smutty books are you into?
no subject
[ He puffs out a breath of warm air against her hair in amusement. ]
Why would I read about it when I could just have sex instead? No, I do better when it's silent. It's more difficult to concentrate on the words when others are talking or making noise.
no subject
You never like to just fantasize sometimes?
[She keeps stroking her fingertips up and down his arm.]
Sounds like you read a lot.
no subject
[ He falls silent for a moment as he soaks in the feeling of her fingers against his skin. When he next speaks his voice is quieter. ]
I do not. It is because I don't read often that I have difficulties focusing on it. My people told stories, sang songs, recited poems. Our skalds gift it all to us. Reading the words in my own head is different. I have a harder time with it.
no subject
[She explains in more detail,]
Someone narrates the story for you. Might be easier for you than reading a book.
no subject
[ Before now he's sounded tired and ready to drop off, but now he sounds more alert and is fully interested. ]
no subject
We could probably ask for audio tapes.
[She moves her head to rest it against his shoulder, eyes still closed.]
What do you imagine? When you fantasize.
no subject
[ He adjusts his hold to the center of her back, thumb brushing against her shirt. Exhaling an amused breath, he quietly recounts some of the fantasies he's had, but stops himself before it gets too raunchy. ]
If I tell you any more neither of us will get any sleep tonight.
no subject
I’ll just have to remember what you’ve told me for another time.
[But he’s right. Even if she wants to, and she does, she’s too exhausted tonight.]
no subject
[ He moves his head to press a kiss to her forehead, not really thinking of it as anything beyond a way to finish the conversation and say goodnight with some affection attached. Then he closes his eyes and exhales a tired breath. ]
