Utena glances at the nameplate reading "Logo" and raises her hand, knocking the back of her hand on the door gently. Before your hand even touches the door, a voice says, "Come in." Utena blinks. o.O She turns the knob and steps through, peering around the inside of the room. Inside.. it's a mess. An organized mess, but a mess. A huge chalkboard is COVERED in physics formulas, and there seems to be a... a... it's.. okay. It's a stone circle, like you sometimes see druids using, but it's miniaturized and is placed on a desktop and has a small portable sun to cast the shadows. Reason's busy rearranging the stones. Doesn't look up to see you. "How are you today, Utena?" Utena eheh's softly, leaning against the door and shutting it behind her, keeping her hands behind her as she does when she's worried that touching something might disrupt something delicate. "I'm all right. Getting around a bit more.." She gazes at what Reason's fiddling with curiously. "What's that you're doing... or is it something I wouldn't understand?" Grinning a little at the end of that comment. Reason explains without noting if you'd understand it or not. "This is a desktop stone circle mathematical computation device. It relies on a blend of science, technology and theocracy, as it calls on the forces of Algebria, Goddess of Mathematics and Sciences from the ancient Daratan civilization to perform rudimentary numeric tasks." Utena eheh's softly and stays where she is, nodding. "I just.. came to see how you were doing. It's my turn to make the rounds, I guess." Rubs the back of her neck and grins wryly. "Is this a bad time?" Reason adjust a stone, and then checks the shadows, making note on her clipboard. "Not at all. I just installed the Microverse Service Pack and the phases of the moon are all out of alignment, but it won't take long to fix. How are things with the others? " Utena sighs a little. "You're my second stop. A.. group, or army of some kind ruined everything in it. She wasn't hurt, but..." She sighs. "And.. there's other things too. But.. I don't want to just come bearing bad news. As far as I know the others are all right." Reason mhmms. She adjusts a stone, and moves the moon into place.. "Ah. There we go, all fixed." Dusts off her hands, and turns around. "I doubt any armies can get into here. Darata has a vigilant city guard." Utena grins softly, nodding. "I hope not." She looks around again, dark blue eyes wondering as she peers at random unusual and exotic sorts of things... contemplating whether to tell Reason about Order and all of that. "... I'm engaged, too. Engaged again , anyway." Reason nods. "That's good. Humans are meant to exist in pairs, according to a thesis one of my grad students is writing." She steps over to the door. "Walk with me, please. I have an experiment to attend to, but don't mind chatting while I do." Utena nods, and falls in line behind you, as you move through the door and into the hall. Silent for the moment, just observing. Sometimes one talks too much, and she feels a little uncertain. Reason walks down the featureless hall, and opens one of the doors... which surprisingly opens up to a large laboratory, almost a gymnasium. A pair of glass booths have been made, which have a strange machine that seems to constantly move to interconnect tubes to each other.. every now and then, an object SHOOFs through the tube, to the second glass booth, where it's redirected again. Reason says, "This is our prototype for a message server. We're still ironing out some of the bugs in the telekinetic spells and mechanical parts." Utena says, "What would you use it for?" She leans forward to peer at it a bit more. All of this feels immensely over her head; she likes to think of herself as smart, but in the region of geniuses everyone is a little lesser.. Reason walks to one booth, and takes a wooden cylinder.. opens it, and shows an empty chamber inside. "Messaging. With this, we'll hopefully be able to run tubes between all the buildings on campus, and be able to send messages back and forth. In fact, we 're working on a teleportation based version for the future, which will interconnect other campuses... we're calling it an inter network." Utena ohs. She actually got that part, and nods a little more brightly. "It sounds like a good idea. It'd be better than running letters by hand, wouldn't it..." She sighs a little. "... Can I ask your opinion on something?" Reason nods, while continuing to take a fresh sheet of paper, and writing something on it. "Hai?" Utena looks toward the ceiling and sighs a little. "Is it a good or bad idea to try and gather the wingless and return them to the world of dreams?... I'm asking because... the Lord of Nightmares is in mourning. For Dios. She refuses to come out of herself... not even for her children. She says she can't do anything. But I thought, maybe for her children.." Reason pauses. She closes her eyes, and processes your query. "...we are not that close a family, Utena. She feels love for us, but very few of us feel any love for her. She never contacts us directly, and since the fall, none of us have seen her directly . While I think it's reasonable to believe she harbors no ill will, others prefer to avoid her if possible -- Loathing and Paradox certainly, Drama occasionally." Utena uhms softly. Nodding, as she asks in a faint voice, "Why don't you feel love for her..?" Reason shrugs. "I'm not an emotional sort of person. In addition, I have qualms with her methods, as I did with the methods of your god. Setting the rules in opposition in order to initiate a fall from innocence and maturity is not the most efficent means ." Utena sighs. "Maybe not... but it's my reality now." She looks away. "She doesn't contact you directly.. but I... Reason, she misses you. All of you. I know that she does. I could feel her sorrow. She's alone. Her children abandoned her, and the one she loves is dead.. she doesn't have any reason to protect or care about the world or hold Order back any more. I've already fought Order three times, recently." Utena pauses and takes a deep breath, calming herself. "If you were invited to go back... to see her again, would you refuse?" Reason shakes her head. "I wouldn't refuse. But I would have to be invited. I may not be very emotional, but even I am suspicious of motives, since she evicted us from our home for breaking her laws first." And that seems to be all she wants to say on the matter.. bending down, to write something on the paper. "Take a look at this. It's a curious phenomenon you may be interested in." She writes down 2+2=5. Utena peers at the paper. "A paradox. Something that adds up to more than it seems..?" Reason shakes her head. "An illogical statement. Two plus two does not equal five unless you are operating under a very liberal set of mathematics." She rolls up the message, stuffs it into a tube, sets some levers and drops it into the booth. SHOOF! it s hoots through a tube on the floor, and arrives at the other station. Then, she retrieves it from there, and takes the paper out... '2+2=4' It's her handwriting, but not what she wrote. Utena blinks. Utena asks, "How did THAT happen...?" Utena looks at the paper with you. "Something.. corrected it?" Reason says, "At first, I didn't know. I repeated the experiment, and it never happened again... until I realized that the network shunts through a different tube each time. But ONE of the tubes was adjusting content en route.." Reason walks over to the midpoint, and kneels down. Utena follows you, a vague crease in her brow above her eyes. Reason says, "Take a look at this. Each tube has a steel bracer to keep it together -- tough metal to put up with the strain. We were running out of parts, and had to raid the basement for more, and came up with.. that." Reason gestures to one bracer.. which is a more brilliant silver than the other dull metal ones. Reason says, "That is the point of change." Utena puts her hand out toward that silver. "..." Silver is the opposite of gold... Chaos is gold.. Reason walks back to the machine, and takes a blank sheet... she scribbles all over it, randomly, then shunts it. SHOOF. Retrieves. This time... the scribbles have been straightened to be a perfect grid of lines. Reason asks, "Curious, isn't it?" The metal itself is cold to the touch. Utena frowns softly. "It makes perfect sense." Cold silver, like chaos' warm and lambent gold... she frowns. This thing is a thing of Order... but.. why? Utena has a curious thought. "Have you ever tried to feed something the other way?" Reason says, "I've run many tests and trials. Errors are corrected. False statements adjusted. Flaws straightened. It seems that inside the metal tube we found, no chaos can exist. Yes, we have; it's bidirectional, same effect." Utena asks, "It doesn't change something ordered into something chaotic at the other end..?" Reason shakes her head. "It's always chaos into order. Like a purging of chaos." Utena asks, "What happens if you feed it something ordered?" Utena asks, "Nothing?" Reason nods. "Nothing at all." Utena brushes her thumb along the tube again, kneeling next to it and not understanding. "You said you found this metal in the basement? Is there more?" Reason walks over to a desk, and opens a drawer.. withdrawing a second tube. It's about three inches long, and just wide enough to fit around your arm if you tried. Identical to the connector they're using. "There were two of them. Just in the bottom of a crate of other metal parts. But the organizational system downstairs is miserable, there are artifacts and parts and projects all mixed together. We have no idea what the origin is." Utena reaches out her hand and takes the second tube from you. Something about its coldness makes her reluctant to put her hand through it... call it instinct. But something about the feel of it in her fingers.. she can't exactly place it, but it's famili ar somehow. Something in the weight, the subliminal texture... the coloration and shine... her eye flickers to the ring Xelloss gave her... -bing-. "Reason.. do you still have the duel signet from the duel cycle..?" Reason shakes her head. "I disposed if it shortly after completing my portion of the cycle." Utena sighs. "Worth asking," She nods, probing gently at the tube in her hands. Pure, cold, very sterile... as metal is. "... I can't say this doesn't make me nervous..." Is there any particular LOOK to the tube that might imply its original purpose? Unfortunately, no. It's perfectly smooth, and featureless. Two identical tubes. Reason nods. "I'm keeping it in the framework of the experiment because we might be able to use it to re-order out of order message packets, if we can duplicate it. But I doubt we can. And it is unusual." Utena bites her lip. "Do you mind if I keep this one, Reason? It's small enough I can carry it with me." Though she does think briefly about the concept that carrying around a tiny chunk of order is arguably like carrying antihalcon into an orihalcon room .. Reason shrugs. "As long as you don't damage it, I suppose the department can loan it." She doesn't seem too concerned. Utena nods, and pulls down her bag from her shoulder, folding up the little tubelet (more like a bracer..) into the depths of the bag so it doesn't get damaged or lost. "Thanks... This might be helpful." Reason nods. "Good. So, where are you headed next?" Utena mms. "To find Loathing, I think, Evilania." Reason ahs. "The weather is balmy there this time of year. You should make sure you drink plenty of fluids." She takes her clipboard back and resumes experimenting. Conversation done, apparently.. Utena nods a moment, then, after watching you in silence a few seconds more, turns to go. "Good luck with the experiments." She puts her hand to the door and steps through into the hall.. Hmm. Traces her steps back to the front door of the main building.. . then out onto the campus grounds again. You know.. this place makes you want to go to school, almost. Everybody here seems cheerful enough. Or busy enough not to worry. It really is a city of wonders... maybe a few too many for someone used to the backwaters of Kaiou, but still. As she walks the grounds slowly, enjoying the sun over her shoulders and breathing in the air, thinking, Utena isn't entirely adverse to the notion. Maybe later.. when things have settled down. But right now, her education is rather less important than figuring out Order... and how to get things in balance again... Her thoughts right now are more related to what Reason said about the wingless and their mother. They're suspicious of her, but she's mournful of them.... But that happened a long time ago, didn't it? Isn't it possible the Lord made a mistake? How much do you really know about 'the fall' as they sometimes refer to it? What happened and why? If there's animosity, it probably stems from that.. and the apparent silence between them since. The one to ask about that, Utena figures, is Myth... But she wants to stick to her original plan, she'll get back around to that.. it's too soon to start making complex schemes. She does realize now what she wants to do by visiting the wingless... she's s ounding them out. Her guts say that the children should be reunited with the mother.. that's just.. how it should be. But is that imposing Order onto Chaos... dammit. She shakes her head, approaching the gates leading out of the university... not everythi ng is like that, is it? It's hard to say. How can the Lord of Chaos set up such a paralell set of four men and four women with opposite pairings and call it Chaos? Words to describe these things sometimes aren't the best words. Regardless... Evilania is far away. VERY far, on the other side of Kaiou. Utena certainly couldn't go like this anyway.. she'd be overdressed. One thing at a time. She could overguess herself and spiral into confusion again.. but her plan right now is simple and direct. Get back to Darra, by the same method she came here, get t he things she needs, then route through the World of Dreams to get to Evilania. A five-day journey is one thing- she needed the exercise and the reality of things. But even she won't spend a month of full time just to drop in on Loathing. Especially considering you have five more wingless to get to, yes. A shortcut or three would be advisable. Utena rides the trolley back to the outskirts of town, and steps out, walking away from the city deep in thought. Somewhat on autopilot, just walking. She has a few pieces of a big puzzle. But not enough of them yet to really start trying to draw conclusions... the fitting techniques that Reason taught her would still have huge holes in them. Not that she has a lot ELSE to do at the moment as she walks, breathing in cool wet air. Order using Chaos, Chaos using Order... something yes and no at the same time... like she and Akio used to be when she was Dios. But if that's the case.. why the conflict? Why can't they just.. coexist? Well, why did Akio have to seduce you and torment your friends and so on? An ancient grudge and complications. The Lord said that Order dared her to prevent something. To prevent an undoing of herself? There has to be animosity. But it's arguable he did it because he didn't know any other way to reach me, Utena thinks, following that chain of thought around. Akio was just playing hos role, in the end.. like everyone else drawn into that trinity. Is it possible they don't know any other way to be? Have they ever even TRIED to be anything else? -Either- of them Unknown. Big fat unknown. Could be more here than you can see.. or maybe more than they can see. Utena grins wryly to herself. That's the problem straddling all the fences... everything's possible. But in reality only some things are possible.. God, it hurts her head. Instincts are all she has in defense of a world where rational mind can justify EVE RYTHING as being valid and reasonable and right. And instincts are what guide someone through all that ambiguity. And instinctively, order wants to dominate chaos, and chaos wants to overcome order. Utena shakes her head, and makes a conscious effort to put all this AWAY for right now. There's time to puzzle over all of this, and she'll have more than enough chance. But she'd better pay attention to where she actually IS now and what she's doing... bringing herself up out of her thoughts and readjusting the weight of her bag over her shoulder. LOCATION : Just outside of Darata DOING : Walking PROGRESS TOWARDS REACHING KAIOU : 0.0004% Utena sighs. As much as she enjoys walking... She has a lot of wingless to get through, and an uncertain amount of time before Order makes another strike at things... She looks around, finds somewhere quiet.. then lets her wings unfurl from her, and conce ntrates on the infinitely forever-and-nothing task of nudging her way to Darra... which means that she's there, outside town on the road near the oak groves, before she finishes breathing out. Nice weather. Colder than Darata, which was almost springlike.. quiet, as the time zone has made it around evening here. Utena hms, and nods to herself. Nothing too bizarre here... so she takes another step forward and walks right back into the world of dreams.. letting out her breath. Whew... done and done.. Forgetting a stop at.. that shop? No money n.n; Needs to find Xel and bug him for some. n.n Back at the World of Dreams... Ops has been completed. Rejoice! It's back in operation, and seems to be fairly active.. Ada should be up and around. Anything-chan is around, in her human form.. Bugger is asleep, as usual. Ada looks up and smiles. "Hey, Utena." Utena smiles back. "Hey." A nod of her head... then calls, "Anyone seen Xel? I need to bug him for something." Anything-chan looks up. "Utena!" She runs over, and hugs. ^_^ "Xel-kun is on assignment, ne. Making a nightmare." Utena hugs Anything and hmms. "I guess I can wait a little." She smiles and ruffles Anything-chan's hair. "I need some money, things to do in the real world.." Anything-chan ohs! "Just get it from the treasury!" She hands you a piggy bank. n.n Utena blinkblinks and takes the piggy bank. o.O Shakes it a little. FWOOSH. Lots of coins come out. Gold ones. Utena binkbinks again. "Whoa. Whoa! I only need two or three of those!'" Anything-chan giggles. "So just take two or three, ne?" Utena laughs. "Okay, but will you make sure the rest get put back for me?" She kneels briefly and sweeps up a couple of the coins, grinning. "He's gonna hate having missed this..." Utena tucks the coins away. Anything-chan turns into a broom and dustpan, and sweeps up the money. Then she turns into a girl and puts the handful of gold back into the bank. "Hai!" Utena says, "I'll be back in a little bit. I have to go shopping :) Tell him to wait for me to come back, if he can and work isn't too bad. Uhm.. he should probably wait in the house. n.n;" So saying, Utena waves and heads off again, since if she wants to stay any longer she'll have to use that obnoxious device... walks back into reality. Anything-chan pikupikus, not quite understanding.. and then you're back in Darra. Utena hmmhmm's softly to herself, thinking with bemusement how ironic this is.. and definitely remembering the FIRST time she went into the Evil Clothing Shop... giggling faintly, red to think of it. This time though, she doesn't go in timidly... letting the Akio and Mazokuness come up a little as she sifts through clothing more accurately described as black leather postage stamps... Rejecting things she would have probably not even been able to LOOK at well in the past, and taking her time. This and that and.. AHA! Perfect. She leaves the coins to pay for it and carries the bundle back with her... snickering as she nudges herself into Not-Ops. Back at Not-Ops, in the parlor where you land, not much is happening. You do hear a whistle, though, as Xelloss starts to come home.. just outside the front door. Utena oohs! and skitters up to the bedroom QUICK to get changed. n.n He takes his time, setting his coat aside, humming.. heading upstairs slowly, not figuring that you'd be here. Apparently he came right home from work without visiting Ops.. Utena hastily changes into the (ahem) 'clothing' she bought and temporarily wraps a blanket of nullspace around her to hide herself from him... there's something to be said for dramatic effect :) Xelloss wanders into the bedroom totally unaware.. tosses a book onto the bed, humming, and flops down for a good read and rest. ^_^ Utena slips back through the door and into the hall... planning to come back in and make the grand entrance visibly. Urd said 30 minutes or so was safe.... so.. hehe. She walks through the door then, smiling cheerfully and... (cont'd after I pose over at the house..) Well. Remember the LAST time she got dressed up to go to Evilania? Take that mental image. But add a layer of.. maturity. And a few more accessories.. a thicker collar, bicep-high black gloves, a lot LESS coverage and more support in the chest... just let your imagination run wild.. and then triple the effect. She leans in the doorway. "So... think this'll work for Evilania?" Grinning with an almost old-Akioesque smile. Xelloss hmms? n.n Xelloss looks. Xelloss ().() Xelloss clutches at his chest, having a heart attack. Xelloss @.@;;;;;; Utena o.O and runs over to your side... which may be exactly what you intended. o.o "Xel!" She clings. o.O Xelloss buries his face in your cleavage. @.@ . o O ( n.n ) Utena giggles and strokes her hand along the back of your head. n.n "I take it that's a yes, Xel." She laughs and pushes you back. "I can't stick around very long though, unless I use that stupid device again..." Xelloss leans back, and takes another eyeful. Or three. n.n n.n n.n "Oh, I think we can be entertaining enough in the time alloited.." Utena blushes a little. Doesn't blush in the outfit, but grins at you. "You're kidding, right? I've got like 20 minutes." Xelloss mmms, to himself.. fingers the little ring on your collar. "Hey, a lot can be done in twenty minutes. I LIKE the costume." Giggles. "What can I say, I have a thing for deliberate naughtiness. Pardon my oddity." n.n; Utena laughs. "If you want." She brushes her fingers along the back of your hand, grinning wickedly. Xelloss tugs a bit on the collar, as he sits on the edge of the bed.. tugging you down. "So, care to get me ready? Not that I'm not practically primed from your new ensemble.." Utena mrphs a little, giggling as she's pulled down over you by the ring on her collar. "Am I on top or are you? ^_-" She traces her hand along the side of your face, leaning down to kiss you deeply. Xelloss leans back a bit.. smiling. This is really amusing.. not to mention arousing. He returns the kiss, warmth rising.. "Oh, you can be on top.. for starters." He brushes his robes aside, and adjusts his trousers. "How naughty do you feel?" Utena swings her leg over you, black leather boots creaking as her gloved fingers play along your chest. "Well, I'm a good girl." She grins and pinches your chest a little. "But I suppose I can be a little bad today." Xelloss meeps, at the pinch. "A little bad can be very good, I always say.." Admiring all that expensive leather with his eyes. "I wonder how those gloves feel.." Utena tightens the way she's sitting across your waist with her legs, and mms. "Why should I let you know how it feels? You're a bad man." But she trails her fingers everywhere, all along your neck, shoulders, and chest... Xelloss pouts. "A bad man can be pretty fun, ne? I'll be good to you, indeed." ^_^ He puts his arms behind his head, and enjoys.. definitely not what he expected when he woke up this morning, but hey. Utena lowers herself over you, faint scent of musk and leather, and she smiles heatedly... kissing you with passion, her hands ALL over, trailing lines of dark sensation, hips moving against yours. She closes her eyes a moment, feeling sweeping blood in h er face and letting the normally restrained need come out of its box just a little... her kisses become hungrier and more insistent, her motions more obvious over you. Xelloss is impressed, to say the least. He also lets go.. letting the playful giddiness swap over to playful lust, allowing you to feel his body.. willing his clothes away, as they were getting bunched up. He doesn't move to touch you yet.. teasing. Utena swoops in and kisses your neck like a vampire, nibbling at the shoulder's join to the neck, and her hands come up, trailing along your arms to your wrists; she lifts them and holds them in place over your head, breathing in your ear. "So.. how much DO you like this... and what do you want me to do?" Xelloss never loses his smile, even if he's let his desires out to play. He lies passively. "Oh, very much... hmm.. you seem like you need some relief. I'm ready to give it, if you'd like to have a seat.." His skin is very warm to the touch, as bodies here are part thought, and he's not thinking cold thoughts.. Utena ponders a moment, then smiles. "I have a better idea." She wills away MOST of the (ahem) clothing she was wearing, but retains her gloves and the boots... then.. inverts herself, before you can blink, crouched over you on all fours, with her head fa cing your feet... those soft black leather gloves shift and come up around your manhood... squeezing gently and shifting around, teasing and smoothly carressing there. "You wanted to know how it felt." Xelloss gets lost for a moment inside himself when you touch him -- it's electric, despite the insulation of the gloves. He smiles, looking up.. "Feels lovely.." then raises one hand, to stroke your sex as well, as fair is fair. "Mm.." Utena whimpers slightly, her motion pausing before she shivers and her body scoots back- just a little. "No you don't... not like that... that's not what I want." She lowers herself, breathing in soft exhalations over the top of you... then the soft leather gives away to much, much softer, warmer flesh... lips enfolding as she takes you in. Xelloss aaahh.. inhaling sharply, as your warm lips cover him. "..and THAT'S what I wanted.." He leans up a little, and does the same for you; his mouth playing over your sensitive skin as well. (And with centuries of practice, he knows his way around.) Utena has a lot less practice, perhaps, but.. instinct is guidance. She mmrphs weakly, pausing, but brings her full passion into her task, her body shaking fiercely above you, a circuit of pleasure being formed here almost irresistable. She lowers herself further onto you, pressing herself down tight, and you can feel her need and love and want of you in the way she tightens and draws you in further... nostrils flared as her breathing hoarsens with increased sensations. Xelloss paces things.. giving as much as he recieves. He makes no sound, save the continual strokes he makes, using his fingers to spread and fondle you.. his own hardness responding delightfully. He's a bit more quiet about his passion than usual -- a contented quiet, soaking it in rather than writhing.. Utena decides to bring that up in intensity a little, between stabs of pleasure.. she.. changes the way she's approaching you, though it's hard to say... applying more pressure here, more moisture there, tracing a vein.. trying to ramp you up from just contentment to obliterating ecstacy. Her own form is almost red with her pleasure of this, feeding off it and feeling so much better for it.. and it's not painful pleasure, just sheer bliss. Oh. Well, that's different; he can't just lie there and enjoy. Now he's really being driven. Not entirely sure HOW, but your mouth does wonders to him.. he bucks a little bit more, encouraging you on, as he licks more and more.. a more intense sensation flooding him.. Utena shifts herself over you again, just in the blink of an eye.. slipping her hips onto yours and grinning down at you... right when she feels you start to move into overdrive, she does this... her gloved hand comes up and rests delicately, not assaultingly, along your lips, and she kisses her own fingers, leaning down, parting them just slightly so you get just a tiny breath's worth of her kiss before she seals them away again... she's definitely taken over now.. and whatever she was doing with her mouth, it's still not the same as being inside her, smooth and perfect... Xelloss exhales, loud and long.. the sudden shift just assaulting him, as he's now buried deep in you, pulsing with your pulse.. he sighs in pleasure, as the gloved fingers touch his lips, as he feels the breath. He traces his hands along your sides, paying attention to the edges of your soft bosom, as he starts to thrust upwards.. Utena shakes her head, voice soft and deep. "No, no... no touching. Just feeling. Don't touch me, or I'll bind you." She throws her head back, coming down when you come up, fitting to you perfectly, groaning with adoration of this. Xelloss lets his hands drop, on command. "..Hai.." He's not going to disobey, definitely not now. He smiles, and just closes his eyes.. moving his body, the least he can do, to time with you.. to pump inside you, to feel the delightful sensations and to give them freely. He rises fast, keeping himself under control, but just barely as he nears.. Utena pushes HARD, upon you, but hard in a way that only increases the momentum and sensation for both.. impaling herself on you and happy for it, after thorns and worse this is whisper sweet and soft... her hands reach to hold yours by your side, just to be connected there... lowering herself, trailing her mouth over the ridge in the center of your chest, moaning into you. It should be soon... any moment now, as her motions are deep and intense. Xelloss's hands clench slightly, but don't make any move to jerk themselves away.. his jaw clenches too. He can't hold it anymore; it's just been too much for him, and he releases... and SIGHS in purest relief and pleasure, thankful for it and thankful for you. Opening his eyes at last as he continues to shift his body, wanting to watch you.. Utena moans too, falling into you a breath or two once you fade into her... collapsing over your chest with a low, satiated sound. Truthfully... she could have more. Would LIKE more. WANTS more.... but... is content.. the flame fades down by her effort of will, and lifts her head to wipe her hair back from her face.. smiling affectionately at you. "... how was that...?" Xelloss says, "I've had better. ^_^" Utena says, "Pig." She grins and swings back off of you with a low sound, resting on her back beside you. Xelloss mms, and snuggles up to you perhaps a bit effeminately.. but not caring. n.n "It was great. Ne, I'd better marry you soon. We've been living in sin, haven't we?" Utena slips her arm around your back. "Yeah, probably.." sighs a little. Feeling.. want. Stifling it again. "... dammit.. now I don't want to go. I want more.." She sighs, smiling a little, and pulls the blankets up around us. Utena grins and kisses your nose. Xelloss mms. "Well, you'll have to henshin.. but I'm spent. Boys tire easier than girls." n.n; Utena plucks the obnoxious pager-thing out of the air from nowhere and sighs. "... It's wrong to want to have more, isn't it..? But if I go like this..." She grins redly. "It wouldn't be a good idea." Xelloss ohs? "It's never wrong to want more. We're consenting adults.." Um. "Sort of." ^_^; Utena sighs. "I should be good. Unfortunately, you just encouraged me NOT to be good. Are you SURE you're entirely spent..?" Utena hms and glances down. "... You're asleep already. o.O" Her lips compress in vague frustration, but she smiles and quietly engages the device to change her so she can stick around for the night... then snuggles up.
