gotta check myself 'cause I just can't believe / that you were in my heart, you were in my head

[Regrettably, he knew he had to go, to return to Snezhnaya on the call of The Jester to join the new project that was moving forward. It'd been nice being in Fontaine, and with all his heart he wishes he could have stayed a while longer, even if it were just to help out the House of the Hearth while he was still recovering. His cough was still ragged and his body still felt a little weak, and Childe would never let anything like that stop him from moving forward and pushing himself- but for now, he'll have to accept that he'll need to take it a little easy as he travels back to the homeland. Still, he would have loved to of had a little sparring session against Lumine or Arlecchino before he left...such is the transient nature of a Harbinger always on the move. Sighing with resignation, he heads back to the Court of Fontaine, to prepare for the journey back...it wouldn't be a short trip, and he'll milk all the time he can out of this before he has to deal with the responsibilities he'll have to take care of.

Maybe if he's lucky, he'll get to run into Lumine again before he leaves. The timing was both impeccable and terrible, only getting to see her for such a short amount of time and it wasn't even alone. He can hope for a reunion, but he knows the chances are slim...

Luckily for him, the Northland Bank is located in Fontaine as well, so while the House of the Hearth stays relocated in Poisson for the time being, he can get himself a nice place to stay while getting ready to leave. On one such day, he's out and about in the city proper to buy a few things for the trip back, a few bags in his hands, enjoying the fresh air. As his eyes scan over the shops for somewhere else to stop at, he swears he sees the tiniest sliver of white flash around a corner, eyes widening in surprise. Was that who he thought it was...?

Curiosity gets the better of him, abandoning his task for the moment to chase after the white-clad figure, hoping and praying that he'll be greeted with the sight of those familiar golden locks that he's longed to see again. Childe's steps pick up the pace, not realizing how fast his heart is racing now, eyes darting back and forth as they sweep over the crowd in hopes of catching a glance of what he thinks he saw. For a moment, he's certain that he's lost her, lost whatever he was chasing after, but from behind him is the unmistakable lilt of a voice that's all too familiar in his ears.

Turning around, he sees her, she's right there at one of the displays outside of a shop, and his whole body fills with joy. Wasting no time, Childe closes the distance between them, his voice bright despite his condition.]

Comrade! What a coincidence! Here I thought our last meeting would be the last time I'd see you for a while.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The way that Lumine responds to his brushes and touches send him deeper into a pit of desire that he has no hope of climbing out of. She allows him access to her skin, kissing and sucking gently until he finally begs her to move down him, and he lies there in anticipation as she agrees. The kiss she delivers to his lips is the final straw, feeling it set him on fire with the weight of the passion in it. They both were primed and ready for each other, this time he'd make sure that every single bit of her was taken care of and that she'd feel incredible by the time they were done. It doesn't matter to Childe where he is in the equation- he knows he could deliver a performance for her that'll have her moaning and crying his name whether he was on top or bottom.

He can feel his pupils dilate as she takes hold of his cock, his breath becoming more shallow as he looks on to see how his girth fits in her smaller hand. He knows he's a bit bigger than most- he's been told ~~and there's a twitter thread I need to link you from people breaking Childe's model, he's a fucking whale in his pants too alsjfsd;fjk~~- but he's far more interested in how he'll fit inside of her. He waits with bated breath as she lowers herself onto him, and the first sensation of his tip sliding between her folds is like an electric jolt that lights his body up and powers it as if he'd plugged into an infinite power source.

Heat rushes through him, and with every pump as she lets his cock sink deeper and deeper into her, he can feel his body twinge and quiver as her warm walls greet him until he feels himself touch her back wall. Lumine's visage once he reaches that point is hypnotic, as if she were captured by the pure pleasure that surged through her from their connection, her moans like a sweet melody that he wants to hear more of. Childe's hands reach to grip into her hips, smiling back her her with a love-drunk expression, as if all that mattered to him was her and only her. Nothing else in this room, or this world, could break him from the spell he feels that he's fallen under. A spell Lumine has cast upon him and that he willingly succumbed to.]

It's quite alright. I can do a little work from here too, you know.

[Childe begins to roll his hips upward, pushing her up and holding her just so so his dick can slide in and out of her at a steady pace. His eyes lid heavily as the friction sends ecstasy surging through his body, moaning her name uninhibited.]

Lumine...you're so beautiful. Just hold yourself there, just like that. That's right, Lumine...

( She swallows her noises, she didn't know what to expect with this feeling of fullness. It was a bit of a struggle to get him all in, her brain felt love-drunk knowing he was making her feel this way. This man that always beamed with joy the moment he notices her, made her feel important in someone's life. His love-drunk expression matching her own, sent heat rushing through her as she can feel his eyes on her as she tries to get him inside of her fully. His hair a mess from her hands, eyes that could have hearts in them if they could, a smile that has her smiling in love in return.

His hands on her hips, grip steady to help her out and his words brought her to anticipate the feelings she was going to get. If just getting him fully inside was overwhelming, imagining him moving and that previous sensation happening over and over with each pump. But she didn't have to imagine it for long. As soon as he finished his sentence, her eyes widened and her blush deepening redder with the intimacy of his actions. Wide eyes quickly looking back at him, each roll of his hips bringing a moan out of her. If it were possible her own eyes would have hearts in them too. His moans burning her ears as her eyes flutter closed. )

C-childe... ( moans ) Archon, you're going to drive me crazy...

( To feel him fill her up, stretching her every time he pumps back in, she can't help but to moan every time he does. She can feel her mouth water and eyes gloss over with ecstasy. She doesn't even know what to do with her whole body, slowly feeling herself move her hips with him. Her breath shallowing, her hands on his abdomen to steady her, before they run up to his shoulders. This had to be a trap, how she never felt this way with anyone before but can feel it with him ten-fold. It's when he hits a certain spot in her, she quickly brings her hand up to her lips as she squeaks his name into it. The moan of his name higher pitched than before. It sent waves of electro through her entire body. )

[There couldn't be a sweeter sound in this world, to hear Lumine's cries of pleasure ring out within the walls of her bedroom. That love drunk stare, her eyes having to close because of the bliss he's delivering to her, it's his wildest dreams coming true. He could tell this must be her first time, with how she moved with inexperience, and it's filled him with determination to ensure she felt good and loved. Every pump upwards into her purposely angled to make sure she felt the undeniable feeling of pleasure surge within her, taking care of her the way she deserved to be after years of struggle and stress. He loves this just as much for himself, but it's more important to him to make sure this serves as an excellent way for her to let it out, enjoy herself, and finally relax a little while he drove her crazy with want.

Her body seems to know what to do, as she lowers herself down, hands finding his shoulders. Their hips meet in the middle now, giving him a new angle and he takes full advantage of it. Childe moves himself in a way to let themselves become a melody and harmony to each other, sliding in and out in perfect sync, and just as they do he hits that good spot within her. At first, he's not sure if he's hurt her, but hearing her utter his name like that makes his chest buzz and his mind swirl knowing that he's got her right where he wants her.]

That's the goal. Ohhhhh...Lumine, you're doing so, so good.

[Childe's free hand reaches over to where Lumine put his Vision, quickly snatching it up and tucking it under his back to ensure it was in his possession. He has an idea, and he hopes that it will make her feel even better.]

Lift yourself up just a hair, my love, so I can get to your clit. I want to pleasure you in more ways than one...

[He's got a little bead of water on the tip of his finger, ready and waiting. He doesn't hide it from her, it's not a secret nor a trick. Just a man who's got a full mastery over his hydro abilities, and wants to use it for sex ;)]

( Lumine's eyes closed, just feeling everything he was giving her she paid no mind to what he was doing. She was just trying not to get too loud, having forgotten for a while there about Paimon in her room down the hall. But she was having a hard time keeping quiet with his size. His praise of her helped build more confidence in her movements, to know what she was doing too made him feel good as well. Her breathing deep and quick, moans strained between each breath, trying not to be too loud.

It's not until he stopped moving about doing whatever he was up to, did she open her eyes. Staring down at him in the eyes as he called her his love, the new name to add to his list of names for her. This one made her heart skip a couple beats. Moving her hands from his shoulders to his abdomen, lifting herself up the best she can.

He wanted to reach her clit with a bead of water? She was curious, but trusting... Not sure what he was planning. He was already giving her so much pleasure she could hardly keep her moans down already. Yet he had more up his sleeve? )

Oookay, I'm ready... I'm ready...

( It was already taking so much strength to keep herself upright, but she won't say she's not excited about what he had planned. Childe really was making sure she had something to remember him by until they meet again. )

[He's got to hand it to Lumine- he's well aware he's a little big and she's doing a fantastic job trying to keep herself quiet enough to not wake Paimon. He wishes that he could dismantle all the hard work she's put in to keep herself from screaming his name at the top of her lungs, but at the same time Childe's very okay with keeping this, and their relationship as a whole, as their little secret. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Once Lumine is up far enough, his hand slips into the small space between their stomachs to let his finger and the bead of water press against her clit. The water seems to form fit around it, sinking deep into her folds as it forms around her pearl, the water warm and inviting. Childe begins to massage it, pressing circles against it for a few moments before removing his hand. Though, what doesn't stop is how the water mimics that movement- and continues to press and massage Lumine's clit just the same as if it were his finger. The Harbinger then looks up into her eyes and smiles, beckoning her back down so they can continue their coupling.]

There. Now, even if I can't reach it, I'll be pleasuring you for the foreseeable future. Now, relax, and give into it- you deserve to be spoiled.

[And without any fanfare, Tartaglia begins his thrusts back up into her anew, letting his throbbing length sink deep inside of her over and over again while the bead of water caresses and massages the apex of her desires over and over again, in tandem with his pumps. He lets out a content sigh as joy spills into him, happily looking upwards to see her expression and how it makes her feel, his hands supplementing it all by running the length of her body, groping her and touching those erogenous zones that he knows will make her melt and feel so, so nice.]

Tell me how it feels, Lumine. I'm dying to know.

( Little big, ha! She can barely keep herself upright and quiet. Perhaps when Paimon is not within earshot, her small companion did not need to see the two in their 'lovers embrace'. Paimon must be absolutely tuckered out not waking from her previous moaning before she remembered her.

Thankfully he had paused his hips for this, because the little droplet was surprising. It made his finger slide easily in a rhythm. She can feel herself squeezing around his dick with the extra stimulation. Focused on his finger, breathy moans escaping her lips, until that pressure was gone, but the stimulation didn't stop. Well, this was a trick she was not prepared for and though it wasn't his finger, the action still sent sharp electricity up her spine. He really has mastered his element and with a wild imagination to think up something like that.

She was going to respond back, before he began to thrust up into her. This time with matching rhythm of the droplet and she couldn't hold back the initial moan that escaped. Her mind only filled with how good he was making her feel, she forgot about her own volume. Her body cresting with the new sensation. Lids heavy with arousal, can feel herself getting wetter around him. Her hand snapping to her lips, but with just one hand, she lays on his chest unable to keep herself up anymore.

Moving her hips in tune with his, hiccups of moans escaping her. He wanted her to speak while she can barely even think? How cruel of him. )

I... I, oooh, I-It feels sooo good, C-childe~ Mmmmmnn, you're r-really good at this.

( Hopefully he understood her between her open fingers and inbetween her moans. Just wanting to melt against him and never let him leave, keep him by her side forever. Moving her hips)

[He'll take that initial reaction as a good thing. Childe knows he's got her now, his groans laced with a hint of amusement as she lays down on her chest. It becomes even easier to slide in and out of her, feeling her become even more wet around his cock, taking full advantage of it to ensure every thrust sunk all the way to her back wall and out again. Tartaglia helps her out by sinking his fingertips into the supple skin around her hips, pulling her up just a hint more than what she'd be able to do at this angle so his cock slides fully in and out of her. She's too cute, losing control of herself before him in this manner, and he loves seeing the look on her face as pleasure clouds her mind.

He can only imagine all she's thinking about now is how good her body feels, and he'll continue to ensure that this will be delightful for her. He only wishes he knew exactly what she was thinking. Craning his head upwards from the pillow, he begins to whisper sweet nothings into her ear, moaning unabashedly between them:]

Good...ahhh, you deserve to be pleasured to your heart's content. Lumine, oh Lumine, my shining star in the night sky, allow me to make you feel even better...

[Tartaglia moves to capture her in a kiss, needy and filled with both a carnal passion and an innocent love, feeling his own bliss building within his core as the two share this kiss. He can feel his body tiring from the effort, exhaustion beginning to set in, but the fire that's alight in his veins is like a second wind that keeps him pumping his hips against her own. Moans spill out of him endlessly through the kiss, dropping his jaw just so so he can coax her mouth open to dance with her tongue. His speed picks up, his kiss becomes more fervid and crazed, and the droplet that massages Lumine's pearl matches his greed as his whole body crests into a climax.]

Oh, Lumine...I...I...!

[With a shudder, his body finally releases his white-hot love deep inside of her, painting her walls with his thick essence. Tartaglia falters in his kiss, the cry of her name on his lips and the sheer pleasure that hits him makes his entire body quiver violently as he gasps for breath. His hips slow, his back goes completely numb, and his body tingles from the wave of bliss he drowns under. The fog that clouds his mind thickens, with Lumine being the only thing he can think of or see, and her visage could not look more stunning in the aftermath of his climax. Pleasing his gorgeous and stalwart comrade filled him with a sense of satisfaction unlike any he's ever experienced before.

So he leans up, and presses a kiss to her lips once more, appreciative and loving, before his head falls back down to the pillow.]

( Allowing him to maneuver her hips anyway he wants, barely able to hold herself up on her own. Feeling cock pumping with no interruptions now, her body adjusting to his size, going all the way to her back wall every single time. Resting her head against his as she listens to his voice drive its way through her clouded head, through the loud pumps of her heart.

His moans and words sending her heart to soar, to fill her heart with a tender love that would scare her away if she didn't feel it was right. But it did, it felt right and to hear him call her his shining star in the night sky... She felt like she had her wings back and can take flight with this love.

Before she can respond, his lips had captured hers in kiss that she returned with every ounce of love in her body. Moaning into his mouth, wanting him to feel how much his words meant to her. How much his love was felt by her too. Dropping her jaw to bring her tongue to dance with his, a loud squeak of a moan in his lips at the picked up speed of not only his hips but the small droplet too. )

Childe... Tartaglia...

( Her thighs shook, body crescents against his and she clutched his shoulders. Her own climax interrupts her, she can feel him coat her insides and she can feel herself rising and falling with his chest as he caught his breath. Her body now only associating these feelings of absolute bliss and fullness with this man and this man only. Getting to see him come undone like this again, will etch itself in her memories too.

Returning the sweet kiss with her own loving tenderness, smiling down at him so sweetly and loving. Happy tears in her eyes, though it did not fall, as she pressed another sweet and calm kiss to his lips. Perhaps it was too soon, or there was a better time to say it, but it's how she felt. And for once, she wanted to voice her own feelings. Before cuddling close against him, and she whispered her words: )

I love you....

[Satisfying waves roll through his body over and over as he comes down from the high of his climax, the glow of Lumine above him sweeping him underneath the waves of love and adoration he has for her. Childe returns that soft, sweet kiss, letting his lids flutter shut to savor it before opening again. He's rewarded with the closeness of her body, her warmth sinking into his skin, her scent filling his senses. But most of all, before all of that, he's rewarded with the most important words she could of ever uttered to him.

I love you...

Tartaglia's breath out is both heavy and breathless all at the same time. His arms come up to wrap themselves around her, despite his exhaustion, or maybe in spite of it- he needs her more now than ever, surprised at her confession and feeling his entire chest buzz because of it. His heart has never beat harder in his life, closing his eyes and lying there with her on top of him like he'd lose her if he ever let go. It's a moment he never thought he'd see, another first today among many.]

I love you too, Lumine. I love you so much.

[He murmurs it as he holds her, his hand coming to rest on the back of her head as he holds her against his chest. His head cranes to place a small kiss to her forehead, before falling back to the pillow, silent and appreciating.

Childe waits a few moments to let it all sink in, running his hand lovingly across the canvas of her back, painting it with a fondness and devotion, his hand the paintbrush. Her skin is so soft, he could caress her forever if he was allowed. When he does speak, it's quiet, as if it were important to break the silence gently for fear of ruining the moment.]

If you don't mind, I think I'll stay here for a while longer than planned. If anyone asks, I'll just say I got lured in and kidnapped by the traveler, hahaha.

( Lumine can both see and feel his reaction to words she's never uttered to anyone romantically, feel herself rise and the embrace he gives her. Silly her for even worrying, why she thought he would push her away at her confession? He's already shown his love for her and she had that idiotic worry in the back of her mind. She could only feel her own heart flutter in her chest.

This was why the heroes in those novels fight tooth and nail for their love. To never want to lose someone that makes them feel this happy. Eyes closed in a sense of peace she's not felt truly in so long. Perhaps, tonight she would get to sleep without the nightmares. His reciprocation filled her with such happiness. Cuddling in close to his chest, letting his heartbeat ease her, his warmth enveloping her, his hand cradling her head and the other painting caresses along her back. Probably the most relaxed she's felt in so long.

His whispered words brought back reality that he'd have to leave soon, she too would have to leave for Natlan, anyway. As much as she'd like to just lay like this forever, that wasn't reality. But his words did quickly bring a smile to her lips. Looking up at him, cheek squished against chest, eyes sparkling with glee at him staying just a bit longer with her. )

I don't mind at all, stay as long as you can. Hahaha, I'm sure they're used to me foiling some part of their plans, this would probably be my most impressive foil yet.

[The comfort that flows into him as he feels Lumine relax in his hold is everything. She was always on guard around him when they first met, understandably so, and it wasn't until recently where their meet ups had less tension in it. Maybe it had something to do with the few days before he'd parted Inazuma, when she'd ran into himself and Yoimiya tracking down the Great Mujina Yokai and spending time with those kids, maybe it had to do with Teucer and the realization that he wasn't always being a Harbinger every time she saw him. But whatever the reason was, it helped lead to this, and he couldn't be more grateful for it.

Tartaglia can't help but laugh at how she reacts. Those glowing eyes, amused and happy at his decision, that sight alone was worth any reprimand he'd get from Jester and then some.]

To think, the Traveler single-handedly delaying our special project because she refused to let a Harbinger go, [he teases, already forgetting the name of Project Stuzha.]

"My deepest apologies," [he begins to say as if he were speaking with the other Harbingers,] "you see, I've been a prisoner of war, locked up against my will. I was weak and unable to do much, subject to all of the Traveler's whims. There was nothing I could do other than focus on recovering until I could escape." Does that sound like a good excuse?

[He asks with a laugh, knowing full well that no one's buying that story. It's no secret that he'd taken a liking to Lumine, and no Harbinger will believe that he was kidnapped. He definitely stayed of his own volition.]

It'll put you in the books for one of the greatest blows dealt to the Fatui. Not even that Mondstadter came close to ruining our plans, hahaha.

( It's funny what witnessing a true human with no ill-intentions with children. That the Tsaritsa's war trained weapon had a soft spot for keeping children from the true darkness of the world, let them live in their light. His brother, Yoimiya's innocence, and those kids that spend time with her...

A silly smile appearing on her face, a light laugh in return as she just laid there listening to his voice. The buzz of his chest as he talked, her smile growing with his teases. A soft laugh at his 'apology' to the other Harbingers. )

That sounds very convincing. I think you may even fool your Archon with that apology if you sell it good enough.

( This is also where she can see Paimon piping up and teasing him about him not hiding his interests in Lumine. At the mention of Diluc's attempts of ruining the Fatui, she can only laugh in return. )

I think he'd be quite proud of me, actually. It's not everyday anyone can handle kidnapping a Harbinger. Especially a combat-hungry one at that, hehehe.

( Though she can see him being heavily disappointed in her falling for said Harbinger. )

[Amused with her response, he's glad she's going along with his little silly story. The Tsaritsa surely would make him pay dearly for lying so brazenly to her face if he ever really did say that, but it's a fun idea to think for even a moment that he could get away with it. Having a match with the Tsaritsa is a dream, but not a dream he wants to achieve that way. One day, he'll get her to fight him...

But that's not what he wants to concentrate on right now, as appetizing as an all-out brawl with Her Majesty would be. The love of his life lies on his chest now, so he'll focus on this and nothing else until he has to return to Snezhnaya.]

Well, I certainly can't deny that.

[One hand lifts from her back to cup her cheek, and his eyes lock deeply with her own, lovingly gazing at her as he gets lost in the golden hues of her eyes. It's too easy to stare into them and become hypnotized by them, as he has so many times before...but at least now, he doesn't have to hide it.

His voice lowers in volume, taking on a more ginger, tender tone as he speaks.]

I'm not easy to capture, so you should feel proud of your feat.

[Leaning up and in, he presses his lips to hers again, a short kiss before lowering himself back onto the pillow. He doesn't want to move, or do anything- all he wants to do is lie there with Lumine, soaking in her warmth, and enjoying this short-lived moment.]

I wouldn't mind lying here the rest of the day. I'm too relaxed now, and you've tired me completely out, haha.

( She expects nothing else from this man, combat-hungry was how they met and that's how he will always be. Which she's always too happy to indulge him in whenever she herself is in the mood for it.

Her face lifting with the guidance of his hand to he cheek, resting against it and she can't help but bring her own hand up to rest on his cheek. Running her thumb over a freckled cheek, though they aren't as prominent as his brother's, they were faint but still there. One just had to have the luck of getting close enough to see and count them. Eyes that only light up for those special to him, to show the excitement in battle. Grateful that he's still here with her and she'd not lost him. His gaze so loving it brings butterflies to flutter in her rib cage.

His words bring her soft smile to morph into one of amusement. )

That you're not and I'm grateful of that fact.

( She presses into the kiss, short and sweet, perfect for basking in the afterglow of such an intimate act of love making. With a silly roll of her eyes, completely unserious, as she smiled down at him. Voice almost groaning for what's to come. )

I've tired you out? I'll most likely be bedridden thanks to you, you know.

( Not only from the intense sex, but he wasn't exactly small. Her legs would so sore and shaky. Plus having to look for any marks he'd left on her person. )

[Lumine's palm cupping his cheek, gazing down at him like that and returning his kiss is like a dream. If the world began to blur around him, with the only thing in focus being her, he'd welcome it and get lost in it for as long as the universe would let him. He knows, of course, that it could never be like that- but for now, he'll pretend like the world around him doesn't exist outside of her. This is a rare moment, and he'll savor it.

He laughs at her retort, shrugging his shoulders lightly. He did work her body, but he can't help but take his own little stab at her.]

Don't tell me I was a little too much for you to handle, comrade.

[That smarmy smile comes out, clearly teasing her, but the opportunity presented itself and he can't miss it. Childe immediately winces to prepare for her retaliation, still smiling even as he does so- he knows he did something to deserve some kind of punishment.]

( She just stares as the loving gaze turned into her signature, blank stare. Of course he just had to throw a tease in there. Blinking a few times, before that same hand that held his cheek immediately shoved his face away from facing her. Getting off his chest and onto the other side of the bed, wrapping her duvet around her.

Reaching over to poke into his side, not gentle but not enough to bruise. )

You really can be annoying sometimes, you know. Go to sleep so I can go shower.

( She did not want to take the risk of boosting his ego more than it already is by trying to see if she can walk alright. Lumine closes her eyes to feign sleep. But she does after a while take his hand in hers, lacing her fingers with his. Even if she got off him, she didn't want to lose contact. Perhaps she can finally have a good night's sleep after so long. )

Hey! Hahahaha...!

[There goes his face, as she shoves it away from her and gets up off of him. But the retribution doesn't stop there, as her finger comes into his side to poke him. He recoils and laughs, creating more room on the side of the bed for her to claim, propping himself up on one arm as she pretends to sleep. He stares at her silently, wondering what exactly she meant by telling him to go to sleep when she's the one over here lying there with her eyes closed.

It's even more amusing when she reaches for his hand, intertwining his fingers with hers as she lies there. It's a sweet gesture, and Childe lets his thumb run over her the parts of her hand that he can reach, smiling softly.]

I thought you said you were going to shower.

[He waits patiently, staring at her face, trying to get a glimpse of if she even tries to open her eyes to look at him. He's not buying that she's trying to sleep at all, though it's not as if she's trying to sell it too hard, to him.]

I'd be more than happy to assist you with it, if you wish.

I will once you go to sleep.

( Even with her eyes closed feigning sleep, she can feel his gaze on her still. The stroke of his thumb over her hand bringing a soft, warmth of comfort. Blinking her eyes open to look up at him, now his elevated more than her own. Though she'll admit the absolute suspicion she has with his offer to assist.

It's now she decided to tease him back in return for his own tease earlier. Sitting up with her blanket wrapped around her shoulders, a smirk of her own on her face. )

Unable to stay away from me for too long already, Tartaglia?

( Perhaps any other time where he wasn't still injured, which she hasn't forgotten about, she'd find a way to get him to carry her to the shower at least. But last thing she needs is to push his body too much. But she won't voice it as he already doesn't want her to worry about his injuries, or at least the ones that haven't fully healed. )

[He sees what's going on here. He can't possibly let her get away with hiding how well he pleasured her, or how exhausted he really made her. Sleeping until he at least can see that is out of the question now. Tartaglia's eyes follow her as she finally sits up, wondering what thoughts were running through her head with a smirk like that.

He can't help but laugh, amusement dancing in his eyes as he looks up at her from his prone position on the bed. If she thinks that's going to work on him, she's got another thing coming.]

Well, it is as the old Snezhnayan saying goes, "the icy, eternal sleep holds no power while one is in the throes of love."

[His eyes lid heavily at her, blinking once, slow and intentional. If she wanted to put up a fight with him, he'd happily oblige- but in a different way than maybe she's used to coming from him. He's aware that pushing himself too hard now would only end in more pain and a slower recovery- so he'll find a different way to fight ;)]

It's hard to stay away when a warm light such as yourself illuminates and warms my soul.

[He smirks, but that doesn't mean that he's being facetious- Childe means every word he says, and his hand reaches for her, just so he can feel her underneath his touch.]

( Anytime she gets to hear his genuine laughter, it can bring a smile to her face. It was a beautiful sound and she hopes that he can have more days of laughter. Her heart fluttering at the sound, knowing he caught on quick. Now she doesn't know if she believes this Snezhnayan saying, how they had a saying for her telling him to sleep. )

I don't know why I don't believe that's not something you just made up.

( She let's a light chuckle out as she stores that saying away in her memory. The way he was looking at her, she would have turned away if it weren't for the passionate love making they just did. But she's able to keep eye contact with him, gaze holding a softness to its challenging hold.

Surprise fills her and her heart flutters, before she playfully rolls her eyes. Moving one side of the blanket into one hand and her free hand reaching out for his. Resting their hands on her thigh where he could feel the shake of her legs, though more faint than it was before. )

You're a lot more poetic than I thought you'd be, I'm surprised.

( She leans down to kiss his cheek, before covering his face with layers of blankets in order to hurry off the bed and make a break for the bathroom. At least she won't hit the floor, though still a bit shaky. )

[He won't confirm or deny whether he made it up or not- he'll leave that for Lumine to ultimately decide. But he's happy it got a laugh out of her either way. Childe holds her gaze for as long as she keep eye contact with him, smiling when she rolls her eyes at him, it's this fun little back and forth that he loves so much that tells him that no one else in this world could ever make him feel as in love as he does for Lumine. He gladly takes the invitation to touch her, letting his hand glide over the soft skin of her thigh.]

I have a way with words sometimes, [he says as she leans down to kiss his cheek. It's a sweet gesture, and his cheek tingles with the ghost of her lips once she leaves it...

...only to get stuffed full of blankets right in his face immediately afterward. She caught him off guard, and he almost complains that that wasn't fair at all. He flails and tries to throw them off as fast as he can, getting a glimpse of that cute lil Lumi butt before she scurries off to the bathroom. Sighing with content, he lies back down on the bed, to close his eyes and rest for the time being- but he'll only see her behind his eyelids, which will never be an unwelcome sight.]
