you hide your face with your disguise // 'cause someone filled your head with lies

[monoceroscaeli]

[It had been a few days since the hunt for the Great Mujina Youkai had come to an end, having to say goodbye to the kids and to Yoimiya too. The ship that was to take him back to Snezhnaya would be arriving a bit later in the day, and Childe sighs as he sits back in his chair in the tent he's occupying in one such hidden Fatui camp. He had a great time in Inazuma. The country was beautiful, rich with a new culture to learn and all sorts of places to explore and fight new and more exciting enemies. All his things were in order- the gifts that he'd bought to bring back to his family, Teucer's Onikabuto in a little bug box with some food to keep it alive during the trip back- all he'd have to do is wait for the ship and he'd be on his way.

He tells himself that he'd return to the country one day, once tensions between the Fatui and the Shogunate calm down. It was a miracle that he was able to stay as long as he has, evading the Tenryou Commission. He has some people to thank for that, and he won't forget what they did for him while he's been here. Some gifts would be in order for them upon his return.

The Harbinger idly plays with a writing utensil between his fingers. He'd like to bring something from Snezhnaya for Yoimiya, too.

There's a sharp rap at his door, and Childe sighs. He doesn't really want to deal with work right now, perfectly happy reminiscing on the time he's spent in Inazuma before he leaves, but answers with a bored tone to his voice:]

Come in.

[An agent enters, bowing and standing at attention.]

Sir, we've captured a Tenryou Commission spy that was found sneaking around. We've taken her into custody and are awaiting your orders on how to deal with her.

[Childe's eyebrow raises. It should have been hard to find this camp, even by the Shuumatsuban. Somehow, doubt creeps into his mind, but stands from his chair.]

Alright, I'll deal with it myself. At least I can have one last bit of fun before I depart.

[The agent only bows once more, to lead Childe towards the prisoner. He knows better than to argue with the Harbinger, but feels sorry for the spy. The two cross the camp to another tent, the agent stopping him right before lifting the flap for his senior commander.]

She claims to be from the fireworks shop, but we've seen Tenryou soldiers stop frequently at it.

[Before he can answer, the flap is lifted to reveal a certain girl that he'd met not but a few days ago...]

Comments

[niwabi]

[ tartaglia truly is unrelenting. she's starting to understand why he's such a fearsome adversary in the face of his opponents, the man seems to have an never-ending amount of tricks up his sleeves in order to give him the upperhand. in an instant, yoimiya has found herself completely under his clutches, to the point where it almost feels like he's the one commanding her body to react and that she no longer has control of herself. the way tartaglia picks up his movements elicits more cries from the blonde as his tongue continues it's onslaught against her sensitive clit, every tantalizing push of his tongue sends a shiver down her spine, causing her screams to grow louder. they had the whole place all to themselves but at this point, she could care less if someone heard their deep desecent into debauchery. all she can focus on is the wonderful sensation of his mouth devouring her, body shuddering as his fingers fill her up knuckles deep.

somehow in the midst of the overwhelming sense of euphoria, she's managed to not break eye contact from him. seeing the lust in his eyes, hearing and feeling his own delicious moans vibrating against her only adds to the messy sense of ecstasty bubbling within her stomach, pleasure surging throughout her entire core. she could tell, he's enjoying this just as much as she is, not mention doing everything he can to ensure she's totally and utterly pleased. yoimiya couldn't be anymore grateful that she met such an amazing person, someone that knows how to fill her needs both emotionally and physically.

waves of pleasure have completely consumed her entire being, coming together in one final moment as her whole body writhes. letting out one last sharp cry, yoimiya finally hits her climax, her dripping wet slit tightening around his fingers as her release pours out. a mantra of tartaglia's name is being uttered repeatedly as she finishes, he worked so hard to please her and she wants nothing more than to express appreciation, his name being the only word that's able to escape her lips for the time being. everything about that release felt wonderful and she needs him to know that. ]

Haah, Tartaglia... [ yoimiya is breathless as she speaks, her chest heavily heaving up and down as she tries to talk. ] that was... beyond incredible.

[ gently, she releases the grip she had on his head, stroking the redhead's soft locks of hair before bringing her hand down to cup the side of his face, brushing her thumb against his cheek. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[As Yoimiya's ecstasy grows and builds, the man beneath her takes advantage of every inch he's given in pushing her over the edge to her climax. The growing volume of her voice gives cues to touch her more, press harder and pull her completely under the waves of the ocean of pleasure that his tongue and fingers are dragging her into. And when she lets out a keen and shudders with pure, unadulterated bliss, something in his mind snaps as he looks up at her with a complete satisfaction.

He'd done this to her, gotten her to clear all her thoughts with nothing but him. And he's beyond happy to know that she felt amazing during the entire thing, and he wants to do it again and again to her. As many times as she'll allow. His lovely Yoimiya, a bright light that walked into his life right before they missed the chance to connect, and now he'll shower her with affection for as long as they were together.

The Harbinger pulls back from her, sitting down on his legs now, licking his lips with that satisfied smirk on his face, and yet there's a shining adoration in his eyes that he can't hide behind his usual mask of mystery that he wears. But there's no need to hide it. He was always doomed from the start the moment he first laid eyes on her, whether he realized it or not at the time.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[He closes his eyes to press into the hand in his hair, proudly accepting her praise again. They flutter back open to meet her own gaze, proud of himself and what he was able to do for her.]

And to think, we're just getting started.

[Standing, Tartaglia steps towards her to plant a small kiss to her forehead, trying to calm himself from the high of feeling every twinge of her body and every lustful cry of his name. There's no doubt he's harder than he's ever been, but that fun will come later.]

[niwabi]

[ once she's had some time to allow the high of the post-clarity orgasm settle down a bit, yoimiya is quick to remove the remaining bits of her clothing. first step is taking off all of her hair accessories, letting her golden locks fall past her shoulders. next, she removes her glove, bracelets and sarashi wrap around her wrist, setting them in the same clothing hamper with her mask and hair ornaments. finally, she slides her feet out of her sandals and removes the knee guard. ]

That's right, the fun has only just begun.

[ returning tartaglia's satisfied smirk with a grin of her own, she steps closer to him, leaning her now totally bare body against his. her hand reaches up to lightly tug on his scarf, fingertips moving to slide across the scarlet fabric. ]

There's still the matter of removing your clothes. [ she faintly giggles while shifting her gaze downwards. ] I think your dick would very much appreciate that.

[ there's no need for further inspection, as soon as he's standing upwards, yoimiya immediately notices the all-too familiar bulge poking out of his pants. now, it's her turn to lick her lips as she's enjoying the delicious sight in front of her, might just be her imagination but she's fairly certain that he's even more harder than before. it's no secret that she's been looking forward to taking his dick even before they left the festival. if his tongue and fingers felt that incredible, she could not wait to have something even bigger inside of her. archons, just the idea of him pounding away at her is enough to get her we— ]

Umm, I was finishing up some last minute closing duties when I heard the sound of someone screaming from in here. Is everything okay?

unfortunately for yoimiya, her fantasies about tartaglia's massive erection get cut short by the sound of a woman's voice from outside the changing room. most people would be perturbed by some stranger's voice cutting in during such a heated moment but the fireworks shop owner is not like most people. instead of feeling anxious, a smirk instantly curves on her lips as she calls out to answer the unsuspecting bathhouse employee. ]

Yeah! I just stubbed my toe. My boyfriend came in to check and he's taking really good care of me. [ this girl....... ] We're getting ready to enter the hotsprings so we'll be fine.

[ once again, this girl proves that there's not a single ounce of shame within her as she places a trail of tantalizing kisses on the edge of his jawline. bringing her hips to meet with his, she deliberately presses her groin against his clothed hardon, all the while not caring in the slightest that there's a person right outside their door. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Though he'd seen her hair down in the forest after her battle had ended with the lawlachurl, it's now that he really appreciates how gorgeous she looks with it down. Don't mind him over here admiring her, head tilted to the side just so as he lets his eyes drink her in fully. Tartaglia lets a love-stricken boyish smile through, appreciating her while simultaneously imagining how he's going to sit her down in the hot spring. It'll be nice to run his hands down her body once they're in there.

She's not helping things at all when she presses up against him and grabs a hold of his paludamentum. The heat that gathers in his face isn't of embarrassment, but rather it's of pure need for her. He knows he's showing through his pants right now, he can feel it slowly throbbing for Yoimiya, his eyes falling down to her breasts that spread across his chest and back up to her captivating golden irises. He's always appreciated people who were straightforward, but the way that she commands it is mesmerizing.]

You'll help me out with that, won't you? Here, I'll-

[His head snaps backwards when he hears the voice, breaking his reverie. Tartaglia feels his stomach drop for a moment, ready to cover Yoimiya in case the worker decided to come in. He's dead silent while Yoi takes care of the employee, save for the incredulous look he shoots her at her statement about him being in there with her. This woman, he can't believe she's that bold to just up and say that...

And then, and then! Yoimiya assaults his jawline, forcing him to fight the urge to groan with delight at the heat she leaves down his skin, and when she captures him in another passionate kiss while simultaneously giving his cock a small taste of what's to come. It's agonizing how he feels that he can't make a noise while the woman stands outside of the doorway, listening intently for her exiting footfalls while trying to maintain his composure. All he can do his kiss Yoimiya fervently back, relying only on his lips to express how badly he wants her in this moment, his length moving with a mind of its own against her bare body through his trousers.

When he knows that the employee has finally left, he breaks from her breathlessly to look down with an absolute satisfied incredulity.]

You are you going to get me in more trouble than I can get myself in.

[And that's saying something to him.]

I almost think you were trying to get me to moan on purpose, knowing she was there.

[niwabi]

[ fighting back the urge to moan as her body is bumping against him had already been quite the challenge but the incredulous expression on his face? that's priceless. it's taking every ounce of her willpower to not double over with laughter as poor tartaglia stands there in silence, trying his best not to make any noises to alarm the poor employee. she really has to hand it to him, tartaglia's resistance to making any sounds is on a whole new level. maybe he's picked it up from his many years of working in the fatui.

despite being the one to initiate the lewd actions, it's almost like a double-edged sword, yoimiya could feel her own agonizing want bubbling in the pits of her stomach as she's rubbing up against his throbbing length. from the way he's twitching and shuddering for her, she could tell that their desperation for each other's bodies is on the same level of intense yearning. her entire being has been aching for him the moment they shared their first kiss back at amakane island. in the midst of their heated kiss, she boldly moans into his mouth, her mind wandering to thoughts about how much she couldn't wait to finally enter the hot springs with him and engage in all the activities the both of them had been yearning for this entire time. if he's like this now, she's really excited to see how he's like once they're totally let loose.

once he pulls away, yoimiya knows it's her cue to finally let out the giggle that she's been holding in. tartaglia really is a riot. the mixture of satisfaction and disbelief on his face is too perfect. ]

But doesn't that make being around me all the more exciting?

[ hearing such a claim from him feels like a compliment. while yoimiya has always considered herself to be a bit of a prankster, there's something about being around tartaglia that enables her to be even more of a trickster, being around is the most fun she's ever had and she's happy to wear that trouble-maker badge with honor. ]

Innocent ol' me? Hehe, I would never do such a thing.

[ there's so many things wrong about that statement and she knows it. to make matters worse, this 'innocent' girl has the audacity to wink and stick her tongue out at him, absolute epitomy of purity right there. yoimiya has been nothing short of virtuous in the way she's been grinding against his cock the entire time...

now with the distraction of the employee gone and out of the way, the blonde is back to focusing on her original task at hand. she gives tartaglia some very much needed respite, breaking her body away from his in order to pull the paludamentum up and over his head. with the first piece of clothing off, she moves her hands downwards and begins the process of opening up his jacket. ]

Since she's gone, let's get back to what we were doing. Snezhnayan clothing isn't my forte either, so I could use your expertise.

[monoceroscaeli]

[Moaning into his mouth only to giggle at him once they break, to wink like that and stick her tongue out, how could she. He's more determined than ever now to get even with her for that, it stirs up the fire of competition inside of him to do something even more shameless. He may not say it, but it does make her exciting to be around, and riding on or falling completely off the edge of getting in trouble is something he's been doing ever since he returned from the Abyss. How the archons have blessed him to find someone else who seems to skate on that same edge with him, even if her means of doing it is different than his own.

His hips almost follow her when she breaks away from his body, sighing heavily in a way to deal with the white-hot heat that's built up in his pants, helping too with the paludamentum by unclipping it from his jacket when she lifts it over his head. The diamond hook that was hidden underneath comes undone, and that's all it takes for his jacket to fall open and reveal the contents beneath. The red undershirt with the brown harness he wears grips along the underside of his pecs, and he laughs at her. The complicated part is below his waist.]

You've already figured out one of the two things on my body that can be a little taxing to take on and off everyday. One is my belt, the other is this.

[He swipes the side of his jacket out of the way to reveal the garter on his leg, which is also hooked onto his belt and come up around the side of his ass. A nice pain in the butt everyday to put on, but he only grins at her.]

It should be far easier to remove with your help.

[He takes her hand and slides it downwards, letting her fingertips brush against the very top of his arousal before he lets settle against the side of his leg where the buckle is.]

Just press the button in there, and the rest will be smooth sailing.

[niwabi]

[ BRING IT ON HARBINGER! she'd like to see you try and out shame her!!

as soon as his jacket is off, yoimiya pays immediate attention to the harness underneath his pecs. a heated blush begins to color her cheeks the longer she stares at it, the placement of that strap emphasizing his chest is incredibly sexy. it's so snug and tight around his chest, she could feel the wanton urge to tug on increasing within her. ]

You certainly have a thing for straps. Taking that garter on and off everyday by yourself does look complica... ah—!

[ before she could say anything else, yoimiya is cut off by the sensation of her fingers being dragged over his arousal, a needy hitched breath pouring from her lips. as per his instructions, she presses the button in the center of his garter, successfully detaching the straps from his belt. with that little complication out of the way, she moves her hands upwards, unbuckling his belt. thanks to their little session from earlier, she's familiar with how to unhook the leather strap and with much more ease, she's quick to unfasten the belt.

with every movement of her fingertips, her heartrate accelerates at the thought of being so close to drowning in their carnal desires. her eyes are locked onto his bulge, swallowing hard at the excitement of freeing his throbbing cock soon. as she's sliding his belt out of the confines of it's loops, she makes sure to remove the hydro vision with care, placing it in the palm of his hand. ]

Like you told me earlier, it's important to keep your vision on you.

[monoceroscaeli]

[Tartaglia grins, he can tell she's liking what she's seeing here, and he's all the more happy for it. It's not as if he's unaware of how his harness could and probably would be used other than to give himself support, and he hopes that she uses it for exactly that later on. He'll have to bring it with him into the bath.

Though, despite all of the driving desire that's clouding his mind, there's something sweet in how she returns his vision to him after unbuckling his belt. He takes it from her, fishing another spare chain he keeps just in case to thread that through his own vision as he's done so many times in the past, slipping it over his head to wear it as a necklace. Gazing down at her with a softened expression, his thumb and forefinger come up to rest under her chin, lifting it just so so he can plant a soft kiss to her lips, as a thank you.]

Hah, now you're starting to sound like Fatui.

[He jokes, kissing her one more time before he lets go of her chin. He'd never really ask her to join the Fatui, not like he has with the Traveler- if anything, he'd prefer to do with her like he does with his own family, and keep her as far away from it as humanly possible.]

Now, to truly be considered dastardly, you'll have to figure out how to manipulate a Harbinger into doing your bidding.

[As if that'll be hard to do- Childe is already practically at her beck and call for whatever she wants. His length still pulsates underneath his trousers, his eyes asking her to take the rest of his clothing off and make him hers for the rest of the night. And he makes no secret of it, leaning in to begin to plant a line of kisses to her neck as a hand snakes behind the small of her back to pull her in a little closer.]

[niwabi]

[ even in the midst of their fervor lust for one another, yoimiya's heart melts at the wondrous sight of his ocean hue orbs gazing at her with fondness. she warmly smiles at the touch of his forefinger and thumb lifting up her chin, her own features expressing a tender loving gaze for him as she returns the kiss with affection of her own. ]

I'm not sure if I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

[ she responds in jest. tartaglia's freedom is a virtue yoimiya will always value and while she might not agree with how they operate, she'll never ask him to leave the fatui. likewise, she knows that their mutual respect for each other's ambitions is so strong that he'll never seriously ask her to join the fatui.

the warm sensation of his lips against her neck sends shivers down her spine, drawing out even more mewls from her. with his belt out of the way, she starts the process of sliding his pants down. his boxer briefs quickly come into view and the excitement that's been building up beneath his trousers becomes even more plain as day. once again, she finds herself licking her lips at the sight of his bulge, her own excitement for what's about to come continues to increase. she has his trousers lowered to his knees before suddenly stopping, the obstruction of his tall black leather boots preventing her from going any farther. ]

Hmmm, I guess now would be a great time to start trying out manipulation tactics.

[ unfortunately, she's forced to retreat, having to give up on his pants for the time being. which is totally fine, she has yet to explore the build of his upper body, so she definitely does not mind the change in course. gently dragging her hands across his torso, she curls one of her fingers underneath his harness, playfully tugging on it before letting it fling back to his chest with a light snapping sound. she giggles in amusement at the noise, hands quickly coming up to unclasp the strap, loosening the leather harness wrapped underneath his pecs. ]

Would Mr. Harbinger be so kind as to remove his boots? Little ol' me would really appreciate the help and... [ taking advantage of his need to pull her closer, yoimiya uses this as an opportunity to lean in and whisper into his ear with a hot breath: ] I haven't stopped fantasizing about your amazing, massive cock ever since we left Amakane Island, I'm so eager to see it again.

[monoceroscaeli]

[The humid air from the bath drifting in hits his legs, silently chuckling at Yoimiya licking her lips at the sight of his neediness once she's pushed his pants down to the top of his boots. A haze falls over his mind, wanting her hands to explore more of him, all too ready to let her do whatever she wants with him. And where her hands do exactly that, it's not below the waist as he's imagining it.

But it still feels nice, the warmth of her palms slowly going down his chest. His torso gets pulled forward ever so slightly before she lets the strap snap back against him, earning a laugh out of him as he tilts just so slightly backward when she lets go of it. He'll definitely make sure that's something to play with later, allowing himself a moment to fantasize about Yoimiya pulling him about with it on. Plus, she doesn't help matters when those lewd comments get whispered into his ear. His breath hitches, her lust infecting his own, eyes glancing over to her.]

Oh? My, Yoimiya, I had no idea how hungry you really were. Then I hope I'll live up to your expectations, [he says, tone sensual as a hand comes up to cup around the back of her head as he turns his head towards her.] I don't want you to soon forget what you've acquired today, after all. And after tonight, you'll wish you'd come with me back to Snezhnaya...

[His other hand falls to press a finger against her groin, to remind her of what's to come later. Only he has more ideas forming in his lust-induced haze, and given how Yoimiya has been, he's got a feeling she's going to like it.]

So let me get these boots off for you so I can hear you chanting my name the rest of the night.

[And as if to tease her, he pulls away suddenly, turns around, and bends over for her as he unstraps his boots. His ass might be a little flat but there's a little bit of shape to it if he's bending over at least.]

[niwabi]

[ despite all her boasting, yoimiya truly is under his spell and completely enraptured by the harbinger. it doesn't take much to get her to moan for him and it shows from the way she shudders and lets out a needy groan from the pressure of his digits against her wet sex. not only are his fingers doing the trick, he's voicing exactly what she desires. she wants nothing more than let him to take her how he pleases, to be completely monopolized by him to the point where she's screaming his name, begging him to take her to snezhnaya because she can't bear to be away from his dick.

her body is already quivering from just those imaginations alone. as he turns her head to stare at him, yoimiya's face is flushed, her golden eyes staring at him like an animal in heat. ]

Ah... please Tartaglia. Please, fuck me so hard that you're all I think about while you're gone.

[ tartaglia's scheme works like a charm. the moment he turns his back to her and bends over, her eyes are immediately drawn to his ass. yoimiya is really enjoying the view, so much so that she can't help herself to reach out to cup his rear, giving his ass a quick but very firm squeeze. ]

Hehe, not bad. However... [ she pulls her hand away. whenever he turns to face her, he'll be greeted with a mischevious, brat-like grin. ] I think I have the better butt.

[ are you still turned on, tartaglia? ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Archons, if he makes it out of tonight alive, he'll be surprised.

Her words of debauchery ring in his ears, secretly breathing out a heavy sigh as he catches the sight of his own length bulging through his underwear. The boots get unbuckled slowly to give Yoimiya the nice view for as long as possible, grinning to himself when she grabs his ass. He figured she'd like that, and it serves to turn him on even more.

Not bad, she says. Please, he knows it's still toned and a delight to squeeze even if it's not defined. He finishes slipping out of his military officer's boots, removing the knee-high socks along with it to turn around. That look on her face, he only returns it with a intrigued look of his own, wondering what kind of tricks she was up to.]

Oh? I'll be the judge of that.

[His Harbinger jacket gets unceremoniously thrown to the floor as he presses himself up against her, letting his arms wrap around her middle as his hands snake down to cup her own butt. His fingers dig in and grope her with greed, a quiet little whine escaping from him involuntarily. Feeling her body with the mounting expectations of the next few minutes is driving him more mad by the second, his head pressing up against the side of hers as he appreciates what the dear Electro Archon gave Yoimiya.]

...Hah, alright, you win. You definitely have the better butt.

[niwabi]

[ oh, she's more than happy to let him be the judge. yoimiya is more than aware of her own shapely figure and is very confident he'll be pleased with her delightfully plump bottom. a fervent groan escapes from her mouth as he hungrily squeezes her rear, she leans into his chest, enjoying the warmth of his body heat in combination with the sounds he's making. ]

Hehe, told ya so.

[ earlier comment aside, she actually does think he has a nicely toned butt. maybe one day she'll tell him the truth. maybe.

now that his boots are off, yoimiya expresses her gratitude by rewarding him what he's been waiting for this whole time. after unbuckling the harness, she moves her hands downwards, pushing the trousers down to his ankles. shortly after, his undergarments quickly follow suit, the blonde's eager hands waste no time in sliding down his boxer briefs, finally giving him the relief of freeing his pulsating cock. as she's getting a good look at her prize, yoimiya's suspicions get confirmed, he really is harder than back when they were on the beach. archons... his size truly is remarkable, her whole body shudders from excitement at the thought of having that inside of her.

even though she already knows how good he feels in her hands, she still can't resist the urge to touch him. curling her palm around him, she slowly slicks her fingers up and down his impressive shaft. tartaglia already feels so big and hot in her hand, just touching him elicits a needy mewl from her lips, her body is aching, ready to take him in. yoimiya's free hand comes up to take care of the last bit of clothing on him, unclasping the golden button hooking his shirt together. ]

Oh dear. Tartaglia, you look harder than earlier. I really appreciate that you took the time to prepare me with your fingers and tongue. [ not to mention that it felt incredible. ] Taking on this beast looks like it'll be quite the challenge.

[ a challenge that she's been very much looking forward to. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[The only reason he moves his upper body back is to let his eyes trail down to watch Yoimiya take the remaining obstacles in her way and let them slide off and fall to the floor, his pants and underwear finally pooling around his feet. Even the tips of her fingers now spread fire across his skin, from letting her hands free him of his undergarments to her appreciate graze of her fingers up and down his length. It takes everything not to moan just at this gesture alone, noting how much anticipation had built up inside of himself that he hadn't realized had been there all along. All the terrible thoughts he'd had all night had shifted his body into this state of ravenous need for Yoimiya, and now that he was free and she was primed and ready for him, he feels something give.

It's her touch, her teasing and her tugging his strings perfectly that begins the complete unraveling of his mind. Tartaglia twitches under her hands, the little taste of pleasure that runs through him gets him on the hook and his body demands for more. Now that his shirt has been unbuttoned, he quickly dashes it to the floor along with his harness, hoping that he'll remember to pick it back up for when he takes her to the bath.]

Hah, so you too, enjoy a good challenge? You know, they say that the bedroom too, can serve as its own battlefield. We may not be in a bedroom per se, but...

[He looks over in the direction of the hot spring proper, before returning his gaze to Yoimiya.]

I think we'll need the entirety of it tonight.

[He says, moving closer to press his lower body up against hers, craning his neck downward low enough to breathe hot, heavy breaths into her ear.]

I don't think I can wait long enough to bother with washing. Allow me to take you in there right now, I need to see if you can take all of me inside of you, and how long you'll last. Can you match the stamina of a Harbinger, Yoimiya?

[He challenges, as he takes her earlobe between his teeth and tugs at it gently, hands wandering to massage her butt to convince her to let him have his way.]

[niwabi]

[ the moment his shirt goes flying, yoimiya's eyes are immediately drawn to his well defined upper build. not only is he packing in the lower half, tartaglia's entire physique is simply magnificent. her gaze keeps flickering back and forth between his perfectly chiseled chest and toned abs. all of his many years of being in the heat of battle have not just served to fuel his lust for fighting but have also given him an incredible body. good looking, fun personality, great with children (also apparently rich? but yoi isn't ready to talk about that yet) ... the harbinger really does have it all, a small part of her brain wonders if tartaglia is way out of her league for a country bumpkin girl like herself.

the sensation of his hot breath against her ear is more than enough to break her out of being mesmerized by his body. she's quick to let out a desperate whine as his teeth nips at her ear, those sounds turning into delightful moans at the feeling of his fingers kneading her bottom. it will never take much for him to get his way, she is always ready and willing to give him exactly what he desires. ]

Mm, yes. I can't wait any longer either... [ although looking as if she were in heat, tartaglia's challenge manages to bring a competitive glint back into her eyes. ] Hm, this is my first time taking on a Harbinger. Your reputation certainly precedes you, so I imagine you're going to be quite the tough opponent. But... I have a feeling you're going to be really pleased with my stamina.

[ likewise, she's very excited to see how long the fatui harbinger will last. if his prowess in combat is anything to go by, she's fairly certain that he'll give her a run for her mora in the stamina department.

as much as she doesn't want to break away from his touch, yoimiya knows that she has to. the sooner they reach to their destination, the better. they'll be able to indulge in the depths of their debauchery all they want. there's still the matter regarding their undrunken bottles of alcohol. yoimiya makes sure to pick up the bag containing the beverages before heading out to the hot springs, purposely walking in front to give him a good viewing pleasure of her ass.

upon entering the hot springs, yoimiya is in awe at the sight in front of them. the medicinal, steaming water looked so alluring to jump right into. stones methotically placed around the springs combined with the small waterfall flowing into the bath added to the romantic charm of the breathtaking view. this isn't her first time visiting the bathhouse but every time, she manages to bask in it's splendor. it's even more special knowing that the two of them have the entire place all to themselves. the blonde sits down by the water's edge, first letting her feet soak as she pulls the bottle of cold sake out of their bag. she opens it to take a small swig straight from the bottle, not even bothering to get a cup. ]

As always, this place never ceases to amaze me. [ she turns to tartaglia to offer him the cold sake while also winking at him. ] You picked a good battlefield for our spar.

[monoceroscaeli]

[The answer to his challenge gets him to grin mischievously- he's come to understand that Yoimiya's got a bit of a competitive side to herself, and he can't let that subtle gloat go unchallenged. He's no doubt that she'll impress him, she already has in more ways than one. But why not spice things up a little, raise the stakes, and put her in a position where he makes her work to prove her words while giving her everything she deserves in the process? To him, this is a win-win situation and every moment is going to be exciting.

Remembering to pick his chest harness up, he follows her as he stares at her cute, plump butt, all the while laughing to himself. She's doing it on purpose and he knows it, and he's enjoying the show of her hips swaying as she walks. Exactly what she wants him to do, he's sure.

As he steps in, he too takes in the scenery of the hot spring, but he's already making plans for certain spots that he picks out for the two of them. Keeping those plans to himself, he continues to stand next to her as he takes the bottle, drinking deeply from it. The faster he can get more and more intoxicated at this point, the better, and it'll take quite a bit more.]

Hah, I'm glad you liked my little metaphor. I knew I found you alluring for a reason, [he states simply, choosing now to move behind her to lower himself down to rest his knees on the ground, wrapping his arms around her middle. Tartaglia lets his head rest on her shoulder as he gazes out into the hot spring, enjoying having her close and all to himself, quietly appreciating the moment while letting his mind run amok with how he's about to make Yoimiya live up to her words.]

I had a little idea, if you'll indulge me. Mind spreading your legs a little and leaning back into me a bit? I need to get down here.

[One of his hands slides downwards towards her groin, waiting for her permission and access.]

[niwabi]

Hehe, you have a way with words. Your metaphor was just too cool that I had to use it as well.

[ as soon as his arms are wrapped around her, yoimiya easily finds herself melting into his warm touch. she rests her own head against his as she takes in the magnificent view of the hotsprings laid before them. even with the looming presence of their fervent desires clouding her mind, she can still appreciate this tender moment before they turn this bathhouse into a battleground for their depravity. ]

Oh? I'm excited to see what you have in mind.

[ simply hearing that he has an idea only adds to her ever growing anticipation of what's to come. thanks to the incredible way he returned the favor earlier, she had since sobered up a little from after they left uyuu restaurant. as tasty as sake is, yoimiya feels like she needs something with a little more power to prepare her for the rest of the evening. thankfully, that's what the snezhnayan fire-water is there for. she takes the partially drunk bottle of fire-water and downs a bit of it before going along with tartaglia's idea.

following his instructions, she leans her back into his body and spreads her eager legs open for him. she's not exactly sure what kind of postion he plans on taking but that is uncertainty makes their maddening descent into lust all the more exciting. tartaglia is an unpredictable man, a trait that yoimiya quite enjoys, nothing will ever be mundane with him around. she trusts that whatever idea he has in store for the two of them will be quite enjoyable. ]

Like this?

[monoceroscaeli]

Just like that.

[He was going to suggest she drink more but it seems she's already five steps ahead of him in that department. The Fire-Water will definitely do the trick, pleased to see her drink it with no reservations. He'll have to get to the bottle before she finishes it off, he still wants some. But for now, he's going to focus on this part first.

Tartaglia's hand doesn't trail further down her body though, but instead, his hand dips into the water for a moment before he lifts it, index finger pointed with a globule of water that hovers over it. He's prepared to showcase his mastery of hydro for her, bringing it in front of her to see before he makes his next move.]

It's my goal to make sure you stay in a constant state of bliss while we luxuriate here, and if I want to use my hands freely, I need to make sure something is always keeping you under my spell.

[His hand moves down to press the droplet of water against her clit, the warm water shaping around it perfectly and setting upon it as if it were on a leaf in the Sumeru forest.]

I wonder if your stamina will endure under constant stimulation. Now, you'll help me calibrate it, won't you?

[Not that he'll give her much of a chance to answer before his hand comes back up, palm facing her- and his index finger begins to move in a circular motion, slowly at first. And in response, the water begins to slowly massage Yoimiya to the same rhythm of his finger, pressing against it as it pleasures her just as if it were his finger touching her.]

[niwabi]

[ yoimiya's stare is glued onto tartaglia's hand the entire time he slips into the hot springs before bringing it back up to surfrace with a droplet of water floating over his finger. despite being bold and forward the entire time they had been pleasuring each other, she's still quite inexperienced at heart and didn't have the slightest idea what he had planned to use that globule of water for.

it's only when he shapes the warm water bead around her clit that she's finally clued in on what the harbinger has in store. archons, he's very creative. when he asked her to open her legs, she certainly did not expect that.

before yoimiya could even think about responding to him, her golden eyes grow wide at the sensation of the water bead massaging her sensitive core. it's warm and feels different from when he used his fingers on her earlier but it's still good, too good, to the point where it's almost unfair. but this is tartaglia, playing fair and nice is not his style, she didn't expect any less from the harbinger, he wasn't about to make this a simple pleasure. ]

Ngh...! T-Tartaglia, you really do play dirty... Ah—!

[ if it's already this hard to form a coherent sentence, she can't imagine how it's going to be like should he ups the speed. her cheeks are already flushed red from both the alcohol and the water droplet doing it's work on her. her chest heaves as she's panting, the soft noises transforming into moans of pure pleasure as the sounds of her ecstasy reverbates throughout the onsen chamber.]

Haah... I can... [ she swallows hard, her shaky legs already shuddering from the intense pleasure. ] I can take it...!

[ even with the stimulation of the water, yoimiya's not going to let tartaglia's provocations go unanswered. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

Hahahaha...can you? Bold words, but I'm afraid you'll lose count of how many times you'll cum for me tonight.

[He chuckles, an amused mischievous sound as her body begins to succumb to his will. But Yoimiya has proven to him to be far tougher than she looks, despite her delicious moans that might suggest otherwise right now. Tartaglia's hand slides up to rest on the upper part of her groin, his hand emanating a soft blue glow over it, his riptide mark manifesting there. Satisfied, both hands cup her breasts to grope and massage them slowly, pulling her closer into him to let his manhood press into her back.]

Just relax, Yoimiya. The more you allow yourself to indulge in your every desire, the better my mark can serve your needs. And the better I can serve your needs, too.

[Two fingers push against her jawline to turn her head towards him, capturing her lips with his own in an open-mouthed kiss, intense and greedy. And as Yoimiya's pleasure builds, so will the fervor and pressure of the water against her. The speed and intensity of its movement seems to match what she's feeling and will feed her more and more as it grows, as this has been his plan the whole time, the purpose of his mark upon her body.

Tartaglia loves how she fights, it's one of the most charming things he finds about her, one that he appreciates more than he could express. Pushing her to her edge, letting her set a new horizon to her own limits is an honor to him, even when it comes to something as non-combat related as sex is.

Breaking the kiss, he chuckles again as he reaches over to grab the Fire-Water, taking a swig and offering her the bottle.]

Think you can handle some more? Or have I incapacitated you already?

[niwabi]

[ there's so much stimulation going on that it's difficult to take in everything but judging from the blue shimmer the blonde faintly notices, yoimiya is at least able to figure out that he's made his mark on her. the thought of the harbinger staking his claim on her body fills her with satisfaction like no other. every little subtle pressure change in the ripide mark causes her to fall deeper into his will, clouding her mind with thoughts of belonging to tartaglia and nobody else. ]

she takes his words to heart, returning the kiss with the same amount of intense fervor, parting her lips open to allow his tongue to entagle with hers. as she's indulging in the taste of his mouth, yoimiya feels exactly how his spell works. the further she drowns into his touch, the movements of the riptide mark intensify. she could feel her clit pulsing, soaking in the pleasure of his riptide mark vibrating into her, proof of her arousal dripping between her thighs. at this rate, tartaglia is going to be proven right. there's no telling how many times she's going to orgasm for him throughout the entire night.

when he pulls away from the kiss, the blonde is nothing but a panting mess. it's still difficult to articulate words so she simply nods at his offer, taking the fire-water. her entire body quivering in pure bliss as she chugs a few more doses of alcohol before setting it back down. ]

Tartaglia, your... A-aah! [ she lets out a pitiful whimper, cut off off mid-sentence by the sensation of the water mark picking up the pressure, pulsating into her core. ] Y-Your mark feels so good. Nngh—!

[ her head is spinning, both from her lust filled haze and the alcohol finally hitting her. she leans her backside against his throbbing erection, silently begging him to put it in. ]

Please, I want you to continue to stake your claim on me. My body... is all yours to conquer.

[monoceroscaeli]

[He is more than pleased to see that everything is working, the mark and the water over her clit doing the job he expected of it. Leaving her as such a mess serves to turn him on even more, as he's been fighting losing control of himself and putting her on her back to let himself chase his own high. But this is more fun, and he's getting just as much enjoyment out of feeling her body grow weaker and weaker to him as his power makes pleasure coarse through her. And now, he's got the chance to make her feel even better, happy that he has this chance.

Tartaglia drinks even more Fire-Water, starting to feel the buzz hit his brain finally, letting her moans and cries spur him on. He wants to see the progress, hand coming down to feel the slick between her legs, humming thoughtfully as it sticks to his fingers when he pulls away.]

With pleasure, Yoimiya. Your wish is my command, after all...

[He replies cheerily with a small chuckle, but the first thing he does he does isn't to make a move to finally claim her completely for his own. Instead, he reaches for his harness, letting Yoimiya sink into his lap as he puts it back on. She seemed amused with it, so he figures she can have a little fun with him in the bath with it on.]

Slide down into the water now, if you will.

[He'll help her in, licking his lips involuntarily as he fantasizes about the next few moments. He knows exactly what he'll do now, and he's hoping she'll love it just as much as he's sure he will. Tartaglia will join her as soon as she's in, positioning himself right in front of her, and as he does so, his mark seems to double its efforts, to ensure that Yoimiya's high doesn't let up.]

[niwabi]

[ thanks to his help, she's able to submerge into the water with ease. tartaglia truly is in tune with his hydro powers, even under the medicinal bath, the effects of his riptide feel much more prominent than the steaming hot springs. the high of her arousal had been climbing so fast it almost felt hard to keep up with, she cries out as the mark manages to boost it's speed, resonating at her sweet spot with even more power. as soon as he positions himself in front of her, yoimiya doesn't hesitate to spread her quivering legs open, showing off her dripping wet sex as a result of the mark he's left on her. even as the pressure against her clit increases, she's still excited and yearning for something bigger to enter her. all of her fantasies, anticipation had been building up to this exact moment.

yoimiya's gaze is directly fixed on her lover. it's a bit difficult to get her thoughts together but in the back of her mind, she finds it amusing that tartaglia put the harness back on. she's starting to suspect that he has a kink for leather straps... but regardless, she's always willing to indulge in his desires, her fingertips wasting no time to thread against the leather material. somehow, even in her lust haze drunken stupor, she manages to sweetly smile at him. maybe it's because she's drunk, she finds herself saying this: ]

Tartaglia... I'm so happy that you're my first. Please, give it your all and make it so that you're the only one capable of satisfying me.

[ it's extremely premature to say such things, yoimiya knows this but she still hopes that her greedy wishes come true. that tartaglia will continue to be the only person that sees her in such a vulnerable state and satisfy every inch of her being. he's completely encapsulated her thoughts to the point where she can't imagine nor wants to do this with anyone else but him. ]

[monoceroscaeli]

[Determination sets on his face, while maintaining a somewhat softened expression at her declaration. Though he's beginning to fall under the effects of the alcohol and already drunk on lust for her, he can still appreciate how sweet it is that she's happy he's the one that gets to deflower her, and in turn she'll be deflowering him. Tartaglia returns the gentle smile, shifting closer to her to press a kiss to her forehead.]

Rest assured, I will.

[Even though he himself hasn't done this either, he knows he's a pretty quick learner. Now is the time to use all that knowledge he gained about sex from horny men in the Fatui who liked to talk about their conquests late at night in the barracks, hoping that they weren't just talking about of their asses about some of it. Sure, they'd made fun of him a little bit, but some men gave him advice in earnest, and he's scrambling to remember it now. In this moment, Tartaglia finds that he cares very much that he does this right, not for himself, but for her. The last thing he wants is to leave her dissatisfied, so he takes a deep breath before he reaches down to lead himself to her.

The tip slips inside of her, carefully inserting himself to make sure he doesn't hurt Yoimiya, grateful that they'd indulged in all this foreplay. The water of the bath and the slick already coating her walls makes it much easier to sink in, though it's still tight despite it all. The first inch makes the Harbinger intake a sharp breath, fire spreading across all of his nerves, grunting when he hits a point that's particularly tight. Slowly, his hips rock in and out, coaxing her open a little more each time until he finally feels himself sink in completely, the sensation overpowering him and forcing an embarrassingly loud groan to release from his lips.]

Haaaaah... Archons, Yoimiya, I knew you'd be a little tight, but my goodness... I didn't hurt you at all, did I?

[He asks earnestly, giving her a mildly worried look. He'd heard that a woman's first time might be unpleasant, but he just wants to make sure before he just moves on without a care in the world.]

[niwabi]

[ tartaglia truly is the gift that keeps on giving. a little gasp escapes from her lips as his tip pushes into her slick entrance. just the head of his cock is enough to send her into a mind-melting pleasure, her soft sounds turning into loud moans as she revels in the sensation of his hips rocking in and out of her. with every movement, she could feel herself stretching around him, becoming more ready, more eager to take his cock with every inch that slides deeper into her. she feels so full, so incredibly tight around him. ]

Ah— b-big...! I-It's so big, Tartaglia! Nnnh... so thick—!

[ the entire time she had been bracing herself due to his sheer size but even with that thought in her mind, he somehow feels bigger, even fuller inside of her. once she's taken all of tartaglia in, she squeezes down on him, moaning in delight at how he feels so perfect inside of her. every inch of him is so good.

yoimiya had been on the brink of her second climax ever since they entered the water, only fighting back the urge because they were just getting started. although she's already accepted that tartaglia's going to push her to the brink and make her come multiple times for him, she didn't want to give him that immediate satisfaction of being right. as her own pleasure increases, the pressure of his mark intensifies, the combined efforts of it along with the full feeling of his cock is too much to bear, she can no longer hold it in. a sharp cry is drawn out from her throat, her entire body trembling as yoimiya gives into the vibrations of the riptide, tightening up even more before coming around him. her entire face is flushed red, an embarrassed whimper escaping from her lips while as she's breathing hard, drowning in the clarity of her release. it's a little embarrassing to come just from the sensation of him being inside of her, he hasn't even started moving and the blonde is already this much of a writhing hot mess.

but she knows, this is simply the start of the many times she'll end up climaxing for him. he's going to the the first person that pushes her to the limits and she couldn't be anymore excited. ]

N-No, you didn't hurt me. You're doing great.

[ yoimiya had also heard stories about how a woman's first time could end up being painful, she's even almost surprised at how compliant her body had been to him. but she knows that it's all thanks to tartaglia for being such a kind and considerate partner, all the foreplay they engaged in truly did help prepare her and she couldn't be anymore grateful to him. she flutters her lashes, glancing at him with a reassuring smile as she brings her hand to cup the side of his face. ]
