[She nods and holds him firmly, too heady from the heat and emotions to even grumble that she could walk on her own. There's no question they've been getting carried away, but Rita's head isn't clear enough to think about that just yet.

Breathless, she does ask-] Are you tired?

[ooc: Thanks~♥]

[ He wraps his other arm around her and pulls carefully away from the door. Keeping his cheek pressed against hers, he turns towards the bed. His head is still spinning a little, but it's not hard for him to bring himself down enough to function. ]

A little... [ And he's being honest; his heart racing enough to make him breathless. Yet... ] We don't need to stop.

[His cheek feels so warm against hers. The happy, exhilarating daze clouding her mind makes her want to never stop, and yet...] I...Then...

[Getting her thoughts in order, it's a little sappy and embarrasing, but she blurts it out anyway-] I just want us to be together... [However they decide to spend that time.]

[ He doesn't mind the sappiness at all. It makes him smile a little just to think of, his emotions swelling inside him all over again. ] Me too... You have to go home sometime, but... [ He hugs her more tightly before sitting on the bed with her. ] You can stay as long as you want.

...Later. [This isn't a curse that's going to fade after today; they have plenty of time. But right now, she doesn't want to be anywhere else, and she smiles up at him.] I want to stay for a while.

[ Her response makes him smile more broadly. Since she admitted it, he feels more confident telling her- ] I want you to stay with me, too--at least for today.

[ And he gives her a quick, soft kiss that feels almost alien after how rough and desperate they were before. ]

I will. [She smiles happily, the soft kiss making her feel lightheaded with emotion--and she's aware again of how hot she is, and tugs open a couple buttons on her shirt, just to make it a bit cooler.]

[ ...Maybe he should, too. His shirt is already suffocating - not that he expected that they'd be doing this when he decided warm pajamas would be good - and just the first three buttons shouldn't be bad... The thought of opening the window doesn't even cross his mind. He smiles back at her as he slips a hand behind her neck to brush her hair away. ] Are you tired?

[It's slightly better, at least. Her hair's a bit sweaty, but she can't really care about, just taking in a nice, slow breath as she finds that his gesture feels pretty calming.] Not really. I mean, I didn't sleep much, but--you know, with everything...[It feels like her blood is still rushing, so she feels very much awake right now. As they calm down, though, she'll probably start to get sleepier.]

[ He combs through her hair with his fingers a little more just to relax her. That and her hair is pretty nice...

If his skin wasn't already flushed from warmth, he would blush at that. ] ...Yeah, all of this woke me up, too...

[It's starting to help, too. At first, she thought she'd go crazy when they stopped, but her head's starting to clear again, and she scoots a bit closer.

And while she's being honest and sappy...] Yeah. It was...really good.

[ His smile turns a little more cheerful as he wraps his arm around her more. ]

I couldn't agree more... Next time, we need to do it in something else, though.

[She feels almost strangely pleased--almost strange because she never considered doing anything like this seriously, but at the same time, it just felt right with Tyr.]

Something cooler, or else I'll just have to take it off- [Er. She stops abruptly, flustered again, and repeats-] S-something lighter.

[ So she thought of it non-seriously before? What she says before she corrected herself still makes him flustered as well, glancing down at her unbuttoned shirt only for a second before looking back to her face. ]

...Right. Take it off for something lighter...

[Only as far as recognizing that curses would make it happen...And Rita notices that glance, suddenly feeling a little more self-conscious even though she didn't think at all when she unbuttoned it. She doesn't make any move to pull it closed, though.]

...I'll wear something underneath.

[ He'd feel bad if she did break close it. It wasn't really his goal to make her embarrassed... But he agrees quickly anyway just to move on. ]

Yeah--We both should.

[ That would save him from being conflicted over if he'd stop or not if she did take off her shirt, too... ]

[She doesn't think he meant to make her uncomfortable or anything--and besides, she reasons with herself, she shouldn't feel so awkward about something like that around Tyr.]

Right...Next time. [Anytime...So they can be prepared to make out at any moment. Clearly this is a very good plan.]

[ ...Because they definitely need to plan for any eventuality now. He's a little embarrassed, but she's right that there's no reason to be awkward with each other at this point. He relaxes a little, his hand just resting below her neck. ]

Do you want to get something now?

[And who knows when they might get the urge to jump each other? She's starting to relax and could almost stay like this, but that idea sounds nice to her. It's still really warm.]

Yeah. I'll just throw on something lighter.

[ They might just get the urge while walking down the street! In winter... ]

All right. [ He lets go of her and leans back a little. He doesn't really want her to go, but he's pretty warm himself. ] I'll change, too.

[A nice way to warm up when it's cold out...

She never thought she'd be so reluctant just to get up and change, but...Well, it'll be quick. She makes for the door, giving him a smile over her shoulder.] I'll be right back.

[ They definitely warmed up together earlier...

He smiles back at her, almost excited for her to come back again already. ] I'll be waiting here.

[ And change into something more comfortable himself. ]

[Very, very warm~

Rita's smile widens, and her heart feels light and warm, so she slips out the door before she gets too sappy. (As if they haven't already.)

It doesn't take her long to put her skirt and light shirt she wore the previous day back on, and then she returns, mindful for once to knock on the door.] Are you ready?

[ And there's nothing wrong with getting that warm in public, right~?

She's making him feel sappy just watching her. The minute she leaves, he bounces off the bed to hurriedly change into the first t-shirt and a pair of pants that he sees, and doesn't think twice about throwing them on, though part of him wonders if he should look better for her...

The thought is quickly dismissed when she knocks, though. He opens the door as his answer, still all smiles and high nerves. ] Yeah, come on.

[Certainly not-! Even if they feel like ducking into a more out of the way spot first~

She might have thought something was up if he dressed fancier. As it is, she smiles back at him as she steps into the room, thinking he looks perfectly normal and comfortable and just...Tyr.

--And impulsively, reaches up and tugs him down for a quick kiss. Nothing too wild.]

Better?
