high_seas | Awkward sexual tension at its finest

Who: Cynthia and Gan Ning
Where: USS Booyakasha II
When: the evening of 10/6
What: Tattoo tracing
Warnings: Nudity...and let's face it, anything can happen with a naked lady in front of Gan Ning
Style: Stuff
Status: Just the two of us ♪

She was proud of herself for getting it, and getting a big one at that. But it may have slipped her mind that the process of getting a tattoo, in this day and age, would be ten times worse than what she could have gotten back in her world...with her technology. But oh well.

It was a quiet night on her ship. The boys were probably all asleep and she had time to herself. Meaning time to take a nice long soak in the tub without anyone disturbing her. Yes, Cynthia stayed there till the water went cold and her fingers pruned up. But it was well worth it, getting to relax in a nice warm bath for Arceus knows how long. Eventually though, she had to force herself to finish up. It was getting pretty late and the longer she stayed there, the harder it would be to face the cold night air. So, without much of a second thought, she gets out of the tub, in all her naked glory, and reaches for a towel.

~~Don't worry, her back was facing the door~~

I swear on my bells, then. We'll all come back alive, especially me. No Navy's gonna lay a hand on any of us. [pats his knee where the gold embroidery swirls across his pants] Some gods somewhere gotta be lookin' out for us.

Thank you, Ning. That really means a lot to me.

[ She leans forward to kiss him on the cheek. Then gets up and hands the gourd jug back to him. ]

This wine's making my head spin. I should probably call it a night...

[wow, two cheek-pecks in a night. It must be his lucky day. He takes the gourd and sits back.]

I told you it had a kick. [but, awww.] Y'sure? Don't wanna just...sit and watch the moon?

I want to...but I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, the longer I stay near you.

[ Drunk or not, the fact that he hasn't actually made a move surprises her. ]

[hey, he has some tact...and, well, she had declared her intentions earlier, even if they're a bit muddled behind mixed signals now]

Do you wanna control yourself?

[there it is, just a little delayed. The offer's open, at least, but she'd be wise to leave him hanging.]

[ Can you blame her? Those mixed signals came from whatever was left of her conscience. This WAS Ning after all. That should be enough to make her conscience go into overdrive. But... ]

Would I regret it?

Well, I can't speak for you, but as for me, I'd make sure it was a hell of a good time. The kind of night you'd never forget.

[he may suck at flirting and being cute, but his follow-through is actually pretty good.]

[ She couldn't hide that smile tugging at her lips. Let's face it, who can resist the charms of a bad boy? Especially when this bad boy's a captain?

Cynthia leans over to plant a kiss on his lips. Really, what could go wrong? ]

[he really is a bad boy, enticing the pretty girl to stay with him. Gan Ning takes it slow, at least, moving a hand to her shoulder to draw her closer so he can kiss her back.]

[ Oh no, she had to cut him off there. But she does lean in to whisper in his ear. ]

You are a very dangerous man, Xingba.

[he grins widely, tangling his fingers in her hair. It's so soft!]

And don't you forget it.

[he would laud her pronunciation of his style name, but there are more important things right now. He brushes the backs of his fingers along her cheek]

Maybe we should call it a night, though. I don't want you pissed at me in the morning.

I'll be pissed no matter what we do tonight.

[ She pecks at his lips again. ]

But it is getting late. Wouldn't want you getting hungover while we plan our raid tomorrow.

Me, hungover?

[he will accept any and all kisses. More than he ever thought he'd get]

It'll take a hell of a lot more than one of these to get me that drunk.

[he sloshes the gourd bottle a little. He's exaggerating, but only slightly. There's still some left and Cynthia had half of it, so he's not in danger.]

I heard you got really drunk when I disappeared. Care to explain that?

Uh...

[busted]

Yeah, maybe I did. Deesuko Ballia is good for that sorta thing. Pirate's haven, and all. So maybe I got carried away and went on a bender.

You missed me, didn't you?

[trying to play it cool]

It sucks havin' people disappear, all right?

Yeah? Well you didn't go into a bender when Gaius disappeared.

[ Well technically, Cynthia was the one that went on a bender when Gaius disappeared. Whatever, details. She'll just slip onto his lap and steal the gourd from him. ]

[mixed signals, here, Cynthia...]

Yeah, well, it was kinda the last straw in a whole series. Plus... [he shrugs a little, looking away from her close presence] ...I might've been a little homesick.

[ She's being drunk affectionate. That's totally a thing. At least she stopped with the kisses. ]

You know...every time I look up at the stars, especially on clear nights like this, it always makes me feel home sick. My grandmother taught me everything about the universe, and my little sister used to love stargazing back when we were younger.

But you know what keeps me going? Knowing that I'll always have my boys here to make me feel better.

Yeah, yeah.

[he doesn't know what to say to that, not being quite as sentimental most days. Mostly, he's just enjoying having Cynthia in his lap. No complaints.]

[ Of course he's enjoying it. Having Cynthia on his lap is a rare thing. So rare, in fact, that once her mind clears, she'll probably never do it again. Ever.

But, for now, she'll happily sit there and look up at the stars. Sometimes taking a sip from the jug. Tiny sips. ]

Hey Kitty...

Hmm?

[sort of distracted, but yes booze and stars and a girl in your lap will do that to you]

[ She points up at a bright flash of light that was making its way across the sky. Oh yes, as strange as this moment was, it was still begging for a cliche moment such as a shooting star. ]

Make a wish.

[BUT IT'S AN OMEN...nah he's not one of those guys.

But her words leave him sort of confused. Make a wish? What wish? What do I wish for? Should I wish for something selfish or wish for us to go home, this is so confusing...

And by that time the meteor is long gone and the sky is dark again.]

Uh. What'd you wish for?
