A tal drink sweated on a table beside her:: [21:12] ::out in the ocean, indulging in a little swimming:: [21:12] ::falls sleep:: [21:13] ::plops his beach towel down and takes a seat near the shore:: [21:13] ::cavorts through and under the waves, relieving her stress:: [21:13] ::enters, wearing cool shades and swimming trunks, a large towel draped casually around his neck as he glances around:: [21:14] ::Savant adjusts her glasses, completely calm as she looked through her book. It was impossible to tell if she was reading or just flipping pages:: [21:16] ::makes his way to a lounger and tosses his towel onto it, takes off his glasses and removes his flip-flops:: [21:16] ::lays down, and begins to sun:: [21:19] *** Somansky is now known as Mansky|AFK [21:19] ::wakes up and moves her towel over to Savant and sits down:: [21:19] ::looks at the others on the beach and rolls her eyes:: Bunch of lazy people. C'mon, get up and enjoy the water for cryin' out loud y'all! [21:20] ::Savant pulls down her glasses a bit and looks down the rims at Maiko with a grin:: [21:21] how ya doing Savant? [21:21] pretty good, Zunite. How have you been? [21:21] ::as her back is turned, gets slapped by a wave and goes for a mild tumble:: [21:21] not too bad... glad to be home.. [21:21] It's good to ahve you back, too [21:21] have you checked out my quarters? [21:21] they're huge... [21:22] I *am* the ship you know, it's hard to miss things like that [21:22] ::looks out at Maiko and smiles:: I just got here! ::stretches a bit as he slowly moves towards the water:: [21:22] if I had known I would have dropped out of starfleet and come back as a civilian a Long time ago.. [21:22] ::finally breaks the surface of the water, spitting water out:: [21:23] ::she grinned:: the specialists get all of the perks [21:23] ::looks out at Maiko:: having fun?

[21:24] ::dives under an incoming wave and begins making slow but steady progress out deeper:: [21:25] *** Savant sets mode: +o Santi_obs [21:26] ::Savant grins and opens her book again, reaffixing her sunglasses:: [21:26] what you reading Savant? [21:27] ::pops his head out of the water and looks around, then heads for a bunch of rocks in the distance, his muscles pulling him easily through the water:: [21:27] ::comes alongside Zachery, having switched to a more efficient stroke out past the worst of the waves:: Well at least you had the guts to come in the water. Sometimes I think the rest of them are all scared. ::grin:: [21:27] The Nicomachean Ethics, Zunite. [21:27] oh? interesting? [21:28] ::yells out to Maiko:: I am not scared! [21:28] ::from afar:: Are too! [21:29] ::gets up and enters the water;: I'll show her.. [21:29] It's fairly good. I've read it before. [21:29] go show her, Zunite. [21:29] ::runs back to her blanket after only getting her ankles wet:: [21:29] ::grins at Maiko:: Swimming is fun, and good excercise too. ::continues to head for his goal:: [21:29] it's cold! [21:29] :;sits back down:: [21:30] ::luckily, Maiko doesn't see Zunite's attempt:: [21:30] Fun, exercise, and there's nothing more relaxing than leaning back and just floating along for an hour:: [21:30] *** Santi_obs is now known as Kennedy [21:31] ::nods and swims on, switching to a side stroke:: [21:31] ::concentrates on her stroke, assuming he's heading for the rocks:: [21:32] ::Savant grins a little at Zunite:: Should i heat the water up a little for you? [21:32] ::grins at Savant:: no... but can you lower it about 10 degrees... [21:32] ::swims a little faster:: [21:33] ::falls a little behind Zachery:: [21:34] ::Savant extends a finger and waves it at the water:: Bibbity boppidy boo [21:34] ::giggles:: [21:34] ::reaches the rocks and climbs out onto one, shaking his head to get the water off:: [21:34] can you magically replicate me some food... I'm starving... [21:34] what do you want? [21:35] ::walks through the holodeck doors, unbelting her robe as she does so:: very nice. [21:35] food? [21:35] Hello Ms Kennedy. [21:35] ::Savant shrugs and waves nonchalantly at the side-table, conjuring up some food for Zunite - whatever was most popular in her replicator queue:: [21:36] ::looks at the food and makes a face:: not that food.. [21:36] well, it's not as if I have taste buds, dear. What do you want? [21:36] good day, Savant. [21:36] ::follows up behind:: Damn you're fast... ::pants a bit as she heaves herself onto the rocks in her royal blue one-piece suit:: [21:36] food? [21:36] ::shouts back to shore:: Very funny Savant! [21:37] ::grins:: [21:37] ::waves to Kennedy:: [21:37] ::pokes Savant:: good food... ice cream [21:38] ::She giggles an amused giggle at the poke and pulls back as if she were ticklish, then switches Zunite's food for some ice cream:: [21:38] ::makes a face at the ice cream:: not that flavor... [21:39] ::smiles:: I'm a good swimmer. You know, usually all it takes is knowing the right moves. [21:39] oh good grief. You're as picky as my sister. [21:39] ::walks to Zunite:: I don't believe I have made your acquaintance. I've been in quarantine for the last few weeks. [21:39] ::Savant scoured through the replicator database to find what flavour Zunite like dbest, and gave her some of that:: [21:39] ::extends a hand for shaking:: I'm Rachel Kennedy, Chief Medical Officer. [21:39] ::smirks:: The right moves, huh? [21:40] ::holds out her hand;; Zunite Oswald... I'm an engineer from the institute... here to do some experiments... [21:40] I see. [21:40] Unless I miss my guess, you're pregnant. [21:40] ::nods:: Yup. You have to know how to make the water work for you, not against you. [21:40] ::looks at the mint ice cream and then at Savant and sighs:: [21:40] ::looks at Kennedy and blushes a bit:: yea.. [21:41] would you like a pickle with it? [21:41] ::makes a face at Savant:: [21:41] ::sticks her tongue out at Zunite in return and turns back to her book:: [21:41] ::devours the mint ice cream:: [21:42] ::watches the ravenous consumption:: Third week? [21:42] ::looks at Kennedy:: no... umm... 4th month maybe 5th... can't remember... [21:43] Well, I usually prefer to let the water work for me by just floating. ::smile:: [21:43] four months, twelve days, if my eye is right. [21:43] a joke. you know all the stories about women in early pregnancy craving strange foods. [21:43] I don't crave strange foods... [21:43] I just get hungry for nothing.. [21:44] ::nods slowly and leans over, placing a light kiss on her cheek:: Floating is nice sometimes. [21:44] that's why they're stories. [21:44] you shoudl be eating more of those strange foods, my dear, too. You've got a calcium deficiency and you're losing body fat... you aren't eating nearly enough [21:45] :;looks at Savant:: how can you tell that? [21:45] ::returns the kiss:: Mmm, so's this... ::cuddles up to him:: [21:45] ::glances at Savant:: why is it again the ships you're on have medical staff? [21:45] ::She shrugged and offered Kennedy a bit of a helpless grin:: They dont' trust me enough? [21:46] well. [21:46] ::smiles and slips an arm around her:: Yes, this is nice. So tell me, have you done any new paintings? [21:46] No, nothing since that awful dream... [21:46] I trust you Savant.. [21:46] I'm flattered ^_^ [21:47] do you trust her enough to take more calcium and eat sufficiently? [21:48] ::nods:: You still haven't shown me your paintings you know. I've shown you my kitchen. [21:48] ::shrugs:: my research keeps me busy... [21:48] it's not that I don't want to eat... it's just that I'm busy... and I don't feel like eating... [21:49] You have to eat, Zunite. Not just for you, either. [21:49] i'm sure the fetus appreciates that sort of thinking. [21:49] ::grimances:: [21:49] I forget! [21:49] "well, gee, i'd love to nourish this new life inside of me, but, you know, i'm just so busy." [21:50] ::walking her fingers:: Well, it's hard to do it for some of them. Two are in the Admiral's possessions as gifts. And I've given them to so many of my friends... [21:50] But I do have a few in my quarters... [21:50] ::smiles and watches her fingers:: Is that an invitation? [21:51] ::hangs her head in shame:: I'll do better... [21:51] ::coy smile:: Would you think any less of me if it were? [21:51] will you? [21:52] ::shakes his head and runs his hand along her arm gently:: Nope. [21:53] ::more than content to be in his arms, kisses him along his jaw:: [21:53] ::nods:: [21:55] ::pulls her a little closer and brushes some hair from her face before looking in her eyes and picking up her chin to kiss her softly:: [21:56] ::looks over at Maiko and shoots out:: EWWW!!! Get a room! [21:56] Savant, replicate a salad for the young lady with fried chicken strips, cheese, ranch dressing, crumbled bacon and croutons. [21:57] ::can't help but smile:: [21:57] Savant, did you just see what I saw? [21:57] ::Savant casually lifted her hand and snapped her fingers:: [21:57] ::she grinned:: i don't know, what did you see? [21:57] i saw a pregnant woman making judgments about the affectionate behavior of others. [21:58] ::she grinned wider:: Very amusing. I wasn't going to comment. [21:58] a woman who i presume was not artifically inseminated, nor is a surrogate womb. [21:58] ::makes a face at Kennedy and Savant:: [21:58] ::Sticks her tongue out at Zunite:: [21:59] eat. [21:59] ::looks pointedly at Zunite:: Eat your salad, engineer. [21:59] ::picks out the chicken strips and eats them:: [21:59] ::accepts the kiss but then can't help but break it to glare hard towards the shore:: Quit whining about us and eat something for crying out loud. ::rolls her eyes but chuckles as she turns back to Zachery:: Sometimes it's so hard to have a moment alone with people on this ship [22:00] ::Savant politely conjured up a rocky outcropping along the beach, giving Maiko and Zachary a secluded cove to themselves:: [22:01] ::around a mouth full of chicken:: that was niice Savant.. [22:01] ::she cocked an eyebrow:: hm? [22:02] ::chuckles at Savant's handiwork:: It looks like someone has decided to help a little. ::motions at the new rocks:: [22:02] why salad? [22:02] ::looks at the cove now around them:: ...and then there are times I could just kiss her. ::Maiko grin as she returns to Zachery's embrace:: [22:03] i didn't know if you were vegetarian. it's an easier thing to omit a single ingredient than change a plate. [22:03] Doctor's orders. Lots of good minerals for the both of you. [22:03] ::eats the croutons:: [22:04] ::makes a face:: I'm not a rabbit you know... though right now I feel like one... [22:04] ::pulls her close and stares into her eyes:: I believe I'd much rather have you kiss me then Savant. ::grins and kisses her again:: [22:04] ::melts in the kiss:: [22:04] ::glances between Zunite and Savant:: Next meal will be a steak. [22:04] ::Savant nods:: [22:04] sounds better... [22:04] ::eats the salad:: [22:05] If you want to come up with a menu, Doctor, I can put it into the replicator database. [22:05] i have several meal itineraries in the medical database for just this sort of an emergency. [22:06] ::settles back agains the rock, pulling Maiko with him, and runs a hand through her hair:: Have I told you how beautiful you are? [22:06] Something protien-heavy then, it looks like. [22:06] Miss Oswald, you will now be following Diet pan M301. [22:06] I'm really not an emergency... [22:06] <> [22:06] M301 eh? [22:07] ::grin:: Have I told you how much of a flatterer you are? [22:07] Excellent choice, Doctor. I'll load it in. [22:07] Thank you, Savant. [22:07] ::She nodded politely:: [22:08] I'm more of an aide than a doctor, Ms Kennedy. That's why the fleet keeps a medical staff around. [22:08] I wouldn't presume to do it all. [22:08] ::smirks at her and teases:: No, I don't think you have my dear. You're welcome to do so if you like though. ::winks:: [22:08] I know. It was merely a quip. We in medical defend ourselves with humor. [22:08] And, occasionally, pharmaceuticals. [22:08] ::runs a hand over his head:: Refresh my memory.... ::Grin:: [22:09] ::rolls her eyes:: [22:09] ::She smirks a little:: [22:10] ::carresses her cheek:: You are like the sunshine that streams through the leaves of the trees and brings warmth to my heart. [22:10] ::sighs contentedly:: [22:10] ;;is very glad that she can't hear Zachery:: [22:12] <> [22:12] <> [22:12] ::smiles and cuddles:: So tell me about this dream... [22:12] <> [22:13] <> [22:13] ::shudders:: It wasn't a good dream... it was a bad one... a very bad nightmare really. [22:13] :;looks from Kennedy to Savant:: so.... [22:14] ::She grinned politely at Zunite:: [22:14] Oh? I'm sorry. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. [22:14] hm? [22:14] ::shivers, nodding:: I think that'd be for the best... ::sorta feels like the moment's been lost:: [22:14] I think it's time for a nap... before getting back to my work ::gets up:: thanks for the food.. [22:15] good night, Zunite. Sleep tight. [22:15] night ::heads for her quarters:: [22:15] ::sighs slightly, trying to find a better topic:: Did you like the cookies I sent you? [22:16] right, sleep well. if you have any problems, come see me in medical. [22:16] *** Quits: Zunite (zunite@x84-81-133-dhcp.reshalls.umn.edu) (Quit: Smile!) [22:16] ::chuckles:: With all the good cooking you do, I'm going to have to seriously watch my weight. [22:17] ::grins:: Just takes a little excercise. I'm sure you're quite capable of handling it. [22:18] ::Maiko grin:: I know of one way to burn calories. [22:18] I hope that she takes care of herself, and her child. [22:19] ::motions at the water:: Swimming? [22:19] well, if she takes even one tenth more advice than did my previous Assistant Medical Officer, she'll be fine. [22:19] She takes advice, but she's rather proud [22:19] ::nods:: And running. Among other things. [22:21] Of course. There are many ways of excercising. I've found some fine holodeck programs over the years that contain great workouts. I'd be happy to share them with you. [22:21] That'd probably be good. ::grin:: I've probably gained a half dozen kilos or so since I've met you. [22:23] ::looks her over carefully:: You don't look like it. You must hide it well. [22:24] ::Savant exhaled and delicately picke dup her drink, sipping it lightly:: [22:24] ::blinks:: No, I love your cooking. Well, aside from that one drink at Halloween. ::chuckle:: I'd just like to maintain my figure. I mean, for you that is. ::blushing:: [22:26] ::notices the blush and smiles warmly:: For me? Why for me? You should want to do that for yourself you know. [22:27] Doing it for myself... it's expected. To do something for another person, a person you love... [22:28] sit down if you like, Doctor. No need to stand on protocol. [22:28] oh, sorry. i was looking out at the water. it's been a long time since i've been to the sea. ... even if it's merely a digital representation. [22:29] I'm sorry to bother you, then. [22:30] ::looks at her very seriously:: Are you sure about that Maiko. Love is not something that should be taken lightly... ::gets a faraway look in his eyes for a moment and then returns to the present:: [22:30] no, it's perfectly all right. ::sits in the chair that Savant had just added to the program:: [22:30] ::gets a rather unsure look - rare for Maiko:: Until I said it... I wasn't sure... [22:31] ::Savant conjured up another drink for the doctor as well, and layed back to enjoy the sunset:: [22:31] oh, thank you. ::takes a sip:: [22:31] ::takes her hand and carresses it gently:: And now? [22:32] ::looks in his eyes:: I enjoy being around you... you always know when to say the right thing... and when I'm with you, I feel like nothing can go wrong... [22:32] ::She smiled politely:: [22:34] ::smiles and returns the look:: I feel the same, even though I know it's not always true. Live has a way of surprising you when you least expect it. That's why you learn to take each day as a gift and be grateful for it. [22:34] Well, I'm grateful for the time I have with you... [22:37] As am I. You make me feel as if there is hope for happiness a second time around. [22:37] anyway, i've had my bit of enjoyment after quarantine. should probably go reaquaint myself with my quarters. thanks, Savant, it was very nice. [22:37] ::frowns slightly:: You miss her deeply, don't you? [22:37] ::walks toward nowhere in particular; the doors materialize and she wlks through them:: [22:38] *** Kennedy is now known as Santi [22:39] ::nods:: I can't deny that. After all we spent 60 years together. Time tends to help dull the pain a little, but a part of me will always miss her and love her. I hope that's not a problem...with us? [22:41] ::appears to think about it, looking down:: Do you see me for who I am... or as a replacement? ::looks up at him:: I want the man I love to love me for who I am.... [22:44] No one in the universe could replace Eveline, nor would I want them to. When I look at you, I see Maiko. Someone new, exciting, beautiful. Someone I'd like to get to know. [22:44] ::nods, relieved by his answer:: Then in that case, the invitation to my quarters to see my paintings still stands. ::smile:: [22:46] ::smiles brightly:: Then I accept. [22:47] ::grin:: So there just remains the small problem of getting back to shore with the water temperature lowered... [22:48] *** Mansky|AFK is now known as Somansky [22:48] ::chuckles:: My dear, have you not heard of this wonderful thing called a transporter? It can take you anywhere on the ship you wish to go. [22:48] *** Parts: Somansky (Somansky@68-190-246-60.riv- mres.charterpipeline.net) [22:48] ::wry grin:: [22:51] ::stands carefully, helping her up as well:: Shall we? [22:51] ::shrugs:: Anything beats swimming in freezing water ::grin:: [22:54] Would you care to do the honors? It is your apartment after all. [22:54] ::calls out:: Savant, would you be as polite to arrange for transportation of the two of us to my quarters? [22:55] <> [22:55] ::Savant smirks and wondered when she was asked to play chaperone.. she gestured faintly and whisked the two of them off to her cabin:: [22:56] *** Santi is now known as Gibson [22:56] ::enters the holodeck:: Hello, there. [22:57] Q> ::appears and looks around curiously:: [22:57] ::Savant pulled down her sunglasses and looked over at Clarence with a smile:: Well hello [22:57] ::gives a slightly, very slightly, predatory smile and moves toward her, crouching next to her chair:: [22:57] *** Quits: Maiko (CptFarrell@69-163-34-222.lndnnh.adelphia.net) (Ping timeout) [22:58] ::she closed her book and let it rest on her stomach, with her hands atop it.. she grinned an amused grin right back at him:: [22:59] You busy? [22:59] Always a little. Never too much. [23:00] Well, in that case, my lady of the combat receptionism, wanna go for a swim? [23:01] Sure ::She took off her sunglasses and set them on the tabletop beside her, letting them disappear in a fizz of photons as she sat up:: [23:01] ::has already taken her hand and is leading her toward the water:: [23:01] ::Savant follows along beside him as they head towards the water:: What brings you here? [23:02] *** Zachery is now known as ZachObs [23:02] Spending time with a beautiful woman. That, and the sand. I just love getting sand stuck between my toes. Doesn't come out for days. [23:02] it's like an itchy little reminder. [23:03] ::She leaned close and grinned broadly, teasing:: I can get sand stuck in more places than between your toes [23:04] there are days that i want to just ... i don't know, nibble on you. [23:04] now come on! ::descends into the chilly water:: whooo, that was surprising [23:04] I'd give you static cling. [23:05] ::Savant follows in, splashing into the water as if it were a bit cold, though not too cold - playing the act:: [23:05] static cling ... i love it when a woman makes my hair stand on end. [23:06] could we make it a little warmer? i mean, i know it doesn't bother you at all, but i'm going to pass out in like ten minutes. [23:06] and we can't get much done in ten minutes, now, can we? [23:06] ::She grins and passes a hand throught he water, a wave of warmth spreading out across the ocean:: [23:07] what did you want to accomplish? [23:07] doesn't matter, as long as you're here with me. [23:08] ::she smirked and leaned closer, "flatterer":: [23:08] flattery's not a crime, as long as it's true. [23:08] now come close, and dance with me in this here water. [23:09] ::she laughed, and daped her arms around his shoulders lightly:: I didn't say that I minded it [23:10] well, good. ::starts to move slowly to silent music, the water splashing slightly around their knees:: [23:11] you know I had a dream about you the other night? [23:11] really? ::She rested her head agianst his and closed her eyes, letting the sun set:: tell me about it. [23:12] well, we were on board the Titanic. [23:12] It wasn't cold, though the boat was still sinking. [23:12] And as it sank, we realized we were all each other needed, and we stood in the ballroom as the water filled in, dancing to the music the band played outside. [23:14] ::She smiled a small smile:: that's a very sweet dream... I hope we didn't drown int he end. [23:14] sure we did. but it didn't matter. [23:14] i was with you, you were with me. [23:15] and, uh, some scuba gear may also have been involved. [23:15] ::she chuckled quietly:: sounds kinky. [23:16] well, i'm not one to talk about kinkiness. considering i'm currently dating a computer program. [23:17] and i actually just added the scuba stuff to make you feel better. [23:17] i woke up just before the drowning part [23:17] ::She laughed lightly, though kept her voice rather quiet, as she was enjoying the mood:: I happen to like that particular kink about you [23:18] ::feels the curve of her neck and shoulder with his cheek:: oh, man, i miss this. [23:20] ::Savant settles a little bit closer to him, letting her arms curl around his back, holding him close as they danced. She exhaled quietly and smiled a little smile:: [23:21] you've got that smile on your face, don't you? the one that looks like an angel with a big apple pie? [23:22] ::smells the simulates smell of her skin and hair, his face not moving from its comfortable little crook:: [23:23] ::She grins wider and murmurs in responce:: I do now. You've always had a way with words [23:23] you bring it out in me. it's there, but it's got nowhere to go unless you're around. [23:24] see, you're therapeutic for me. you stop me getting migraines. [23:25] ::Savant lets her hand slide up his back and massages the top of his scalp:: [23:26] ::smiles and almost laughs:: [23:26] :Savant grins broadly and lets her hand relax, cupping the back of his neck:: [23:32] ::she exhaled quietly, letting the sun set behind them:: i'm sorry that I made you wait for me, Clarence.

Always saying the right thing [23:38] i can't help it. ::runs his hands up her back, then across her shoulders and back down again:: it's my sickness. ::rests his hands on her hips:: my disease. [23:39] ::She grinned and pulled her head back a little to look at him, wearing a broad, devilish grin:: It must be infectious, you're giving me a fever [23:42] i couldn't tell. you're always hot to the touch. ::takes on a similar smile:: [23:43] ::Her voice lowered as her grin got bigger, and she rested her forehead on his:: I hope that you're not saying that I'm too hot to handle, are you? [23:44] i used to think so. maybe i'm getting used to the heat. [23:45] ::She held her lower lip between her teeth for a moment and half closed her eyes,::I'd be disappointed if you had to take more of a hands- off approach [23:45] ::looks at that face, that flawless, angelic, luminous face, with that unspeakably inviting gesture, and can't help but sigh:: [23:46] My hands are still on you, aren't they? [23:47] ::she smirked and quipped, letting her hands slide down to rest on his hips as well:: I noticed. [23:50] it's a lovely bathing suit you're wearing, by the way. [23:51] You think? I've always liked red. It seems to suit me. [23:52] every color suits you. [23:52] ::She grinned and leaned closer, "there's that flattery again":: [23:52] another symptom of my sickness. [23:54] ::his hands, still on the outside of her hips, move downward slightly, just off the red fabric and onto the skin:: [23:54] ::she ran her hand up his back:: poor dear. You've got it really bad, don't you? [23:55] A terminal case. Hopeless and inoperable. [23:55] Is there anything i can do to ease your suffering? [23:55] yes. [23:55] there are several things you can do to ease my suffering. [23:56] ::she grinned broadly and pulled herself tight against him again, resting her chin on his shoulder:: are you sure that woudlnt' just make it worse? [23:56] you mean, you're methadone to my heroin addiction? [23:57] or more aptly, you're heroin to my heroin addiction? [23:57] very probably. but i'm all right with that. [23:57] because you're the opposite of a normal drug. [23:57] ::she smirked:: As long as you're okay with it [23:58] come on, i'm trying to give you a set-up here. [23:58] wanna know why you're the opposite of a normal drug? [23:58] why's that? [23:59] ::leans in very close to her:: you make my dreams come *true*. [00:00] ::she lowered her head slightly, and went a bit red, though the dim light of the rising moon made it difficult to spot:: tease [00:00] i'm not. [00:00] what are we doing right now? [00:00] haveing a *very* nice time. [00:01] w're also dancing in rising water. isn't that my dream, coming true? [00:02] only better, because, you know, it's not the Titanic and stuff? [00:02] ::she grinned faintly:: Yes, this is much better than sinking into the north atlantic, scuba gear or no. [00:02] ::smiles:: good. [00:03] ::she ehxaled and rested her head back against his cheek:: I could stay like this all night [00:04] so could I. [00:05] ::she murmured quietly:: It's a date. [00:06] Mmm. [00:07] * Savant licks her lips and relaxes against him, swaying back and forth as the warm water lapped around their knees:: [00:08] ::kisses her neck:: [00:09] ::she smiled a little and curled up closely to him, letting her holographic arms and body relax, or at least seem to. She clasped her hands together and rested them on the small of his back:: [00:15] ::very surreptitiously and very softly, he bites her on the shoulder:: [00:17] ::she grinned a little and tilted her head downwards, curling her chin around his neck, her hands slowly caressing up his back:: [00:21] I'm not a vampire. You drive me to this. [00:22] When you bite your lower lip, you drive me to this. ::closes his teeth once more, gently, onto her skin:: [00:23] ::She nuzzled against him and held him tighter, letting out a slow breath before replying in a whisper:: remind me to do that more often [00:24] I'm not sure I can. [00:24] ::she grinned briadly and traced her fingertips up the length of his spine:: i can't convince you to? [00:25] ::lets out a sigh as she does that, the teeth closing microscopically firmer:: [00:26] ::she chuckled softly and continued to trace out each individual vertebrae:: [00:30] ::the fingers of one hand drift to the shoulder-strap of her red bathing suit, touching it lightly and seeming to contemplate moving it while Gibson sucked lightly at the base of her neck:: [00:32] ::Savant breathed slowly and quietly, surprisingly self- conscious about a little thing such as that at the moment. She nuzzled close to him, shifting her weight from time to time; neither of them were really making much of an effort to actually dance by then:: [00:37] ::the fingers tug and submerge beneath the strap, but do not move it; Gibson's attention is more focused on Savant's neck, where his lips still cling:: [00:39] ::she murmured softly, not actually saying much of anything, as she let her fingertips trickle down his sides:: [00:50] ::tugs the strap aside as he plants soft kisses across that shoulder, down around the curve and onto her arm:: [00:51] ::Savant pulls her arm close to her side, to keep her top from falling off entirely. She exahled and relaxed in his embrace, tilting her head down and occasionally placing light kisses on his exposed neck:: [00:53] ::replaces the strap after he's past the shoulder, stopping the kisses at her elbow:: [00:54] ::she grinned lightly and held her arm out a little, somewhat amused by the way he so carefully reaffixed her strap:: [00:56] ::takes her hand, kissing the back of it before studying it like a sculptor:: [00:57] ::Savant leans back a little, still grinning broadly as she watched him examining her hand::.. is it really that interesting? [00:58] absolutely. it's emblematic of the rest of you. [00:59] ::she wiggled her fingers briefly:: How so? [00:59] it's aesthetically perfect, and immeasurably strong. [00:59] ::She lowered her eyes and turned that amusing shade of red again:: [00:59] And not quite there [00:59] I'm sorry? [01:00] ::she exhaled and draped her arms around him again:: Sorry. Got melancholy for a moment there. I'll try to avoid that. [01:01] Tell me about it. [01:01] Or I'll do something very uncouth. [01:01] ::she smirked:: like what? [01:04] ::slowly:: All right, but you forced me. [01:04] Keep that in mind. [01:04] ::she chuckled:: I bought it down on myself [01:05] ::contrary to the languor of his speech, his hands move with a fiery quickness; suddenly his hands are on her breasts, holding them:: [01:07] ::She blinked once, apparently caught speechless for a moment, before she blurted out, amused:: You're right. That's pretty uncouth. [01:08] See? [01:09] ::she got a quirky grin on her face and draped her arms over his shoulders:: so what do you do now? [01:10] it's a very tender situation. [01:10] ::sidelong:: You're telling me. [01:10] i think you have to tell me what's wrong, or ... [01:11] or I guess I don't let go. [01:13] ::She chuckled and pressed herself flat against him, resting her chin back on his shoulder:: It's nothing, honest. I sometimes wish that I could get closer than a hologram, that's all. [01:17] ::feels his knuckles pressing into his chest in that was that makes him realize he's doing something very different than he planned on doing when he'd rolled off his bunk that morning:: [01:18] ::lets go of her breasts:: If it's any consolation, you're as close to me as I am to you. [01:18] ::she tilted her head, deflty changing the subject by holding her mouth open against his neck, her teeth dragging against his skin lightly as she muttered:: I'm sure we'll be able to make do. [01:18] I'm sure you know this is just a holographic projection of me. [01:19] I'm still on my ship, using a telepresence rig. [01:19] ::She murmured quietly and nods:: I know. [01:19] here, we're both holograms. [01:19] equally close, equally distant. [01:20] i think that makes us all the more close. [01:20] i'm feeling how you feel, now. [01:20] ::she smiled a softened smile and kissed him lightly on the lips, briefly:: you're such a sweetheart. [01:21] well, yeah. [01:22] You know that I can come over ther every easily, but you're doing this anyways. . . thank you. [01:24] well, it's not just the coming and going. it's also the rendering similar. [01:25] seeing the world as you see it. ... it's important, isn't it? [01:25] ::she grinned and curled her arms around the back of his head, holding herself close:: well, yes. I'd like to see where you organics come from, too, though... [01:26] and you can. [01:26] but that's a discussion for another day. for now, we'll just dance. [01:27] ::she nodded and settled agianst him, resting her head back on his shoulder and exhaling, pleased:: [01:27] *sim end* [01:27] *** CoroLCARS changes topic to '=/\= U.S.S.
