[Now that Oska is returned to normal, and they have beds to be jumped upon...
You better believe that is a tiny Green Witch clambering up awkwardly at the foot of Masamune's bunk until she's got her knees on the mattress... prime position to begin bouncing slightly, tugging at the covers with one hand, a handful of sausage rolls in the other and one half in her mouth. She brought breakfast...]
Wake up, Masamune... !
[You didn't think she forgot that talk you had about telling her things when she was older, did you?]
but the situation is so something he's not used to that, combined with it being Sieglinde, he drags himself from sleep with some effort. She doesn't sound distressed which allows him to be more gradual about getting to the land of the living. He doesn't look to her, but he grunts in acknowledgement (as well as in question) after he's conscious enough to do so, regardless of his eyes being opened or closed. ]
Sieglinde frowns around chewing her breakfast and the bouncing intensifies, as does the cover snatching. She will be requisitioning that warm pillow thank you very much-]
Masamune, the snow moon is waning! I am nearly of age now!
[Its announced with the same gravity you'd give ACTUALLY saying you'd come of age, to try and disguise the "nearly"]
[There! Sieglinde stops bouncing once he responds properly, sitting down hard on her rear in a flurry of skirts and ribbons, frantically chewing the last of her roll in order to get the words out.]
By my calculations it was already waxing during the flooding, then when it was properly full it was raining fire... !
[That was when they'd usually had the banquet in her village- the night of the fullest snow moon. But how could she feel like partying or even request such a thing in the dire conditions they'd been in? It had put quite a damper on things...
But now with birthday rivals on the horizon she wasn't going to be upstaged, nor miss out on what she'd been promised.]
He takes a deep breath before nodding. ] I got you, girlie. Happy Birthday. [ he beckons her to make the remaining effort to come climb in his lap with a pat down on the blanket before shifting to grab his eyepatch. Ducking his head a little, he slips it on beneath his bangs rather strategically without ever revealing anything, working to tie it as he asks. ]
What is it you are looking for in regards to your birthday so early? I don't keep habit of having presents at hand in bed. [ maybe she didn't forget but he sure has between everything that's exploded since then. ]
[She deflates slightly from the puffed up frustration of missing her own birthday when Masamune responded even more properly, nodding along without realizing as she clambered into his lap. Even though most might use that sort of position to try and catch a curious glimpse of what his eye looked like beneath the patch he always wore, Sieglinde didn't even attempt it.
Not just because she wished to respect what she knew might be something he didn't wish to be seen... but because she herself had similar imperfections, hidden away at all times beneath herb soaked bandages and pretty ribbons and tiny shoes. If he wanted such a thing to be known to her, he would not hide it away.]
Have you forgotten your promise to divulge to me the lascivious secrets you have been keeping now that I am older?
[She presses one of the breakfast rolls into his hand, light-hearted... until suddenly her expression wasn't, really.]
... and there is something I needed ask of you as well.
Ah, you mean you want me to tell you in detail about being seduced and bedded by the great King Gilgamesh?
[ thank you for this breakfast. Masamune isn't even registering what it is at the moment but he'll gratefully accept her giving him one. He stretches a moment before his next set of words are said gentler and also more seriously. ]
[For a moment, it didn't register. Mainly because she was trying to work up the courage to put into words something she had probably needed to ask him a week ago, but had been putting off.
Since Sebastian had gone, there had been no one to tend to her feet- and like before he'd come, she'd tried to make do on her own, but without someone to unbend the broken flesh and expose all of the skin to treatment, infection had once again set in. ... It wasn't a pleasant task to do herself, let alone ask of someone else. But she had to, and who should she trust to do it, but-
Wait, what?
The troubled expression was wiped away instantly, furrowed brow and downcast eyes replaced with utter shock, scandal, and- was that jealousy???]
[You can't just eat breakfast while talking about this kind of shocking sexual secret??? Masamune??? Her entire body has gone rigid with shock, cheeks bright red as she stared up at him, her own breakfast left forgotten in her hands.]
Wh- Well-
[Hold on, let her pick her jaw up off the mattress and reassemble her delicate brain.]
I- I knew perhaps there was something, but to think that you'd already known him in the most carnal of senses- I did not imagine- Rather, I did not think to imagine-
[Of all the situations Sieglinde imagined she, a lovely and eligible young woman, might get involved in once she made it to the outside world, (which, here books had taught her, was full of men, men being near beasts who could not control their lusts), this... the person who was almost like family to her poaching someone she'd had her eyes on was... not one of them.
And she'd been quite creative with her fantasies.]
Ah, no, it is just that-
[But- perhaps there had been trouble on account of it? After all, the day they'd spoken and he was so evasive about it Masamune had seemed cross... where they not compatible in the sense of the bedroom? Had Gilgamesh done something to anger Masamune?
The somewhat glazed look in her eyes gave away that she was currently working out scenarios in her head, and that meant... nakedness, and not one man like her usual thoughts, but two, and-]
Was it... pleasing... ?
[Th- That's a good place to start, right? ACT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, SIEG. She totally knows what she's doing she has adult conversations like this like adults do all the time.]
[If she wasn't in his lap, she probably would have fallen off the bed. As it is, she about topples out of his lap and gives herself whiplash, that's how strong her physical reaction to that lame response was.]
What do you mean, you don't know?! You said that you were seduced and bedded!
[ such a tragedy in graceful balance, yes? Ah, well, he'll go with it now that she's off his lap.
If she got whiplash before her head is going to be most likely swimming by the time he's done because just as simply as she goes he moves during her response to shift and give her shoulder the necessary push to get her flat on her back before trapping her there, hands settling one on either side beside her head. If there was any doubt that was intentional or it's just part of his actions, that's cleared up right away when he's fully stopped to just look at her a moment, his expression a bit unreadable-- or, well, mostly unreadable. He's sizing her up, make no mistake about that. For what and what his conclusion will be are the real wild cards. ]
What do you think? [ what a surprisingly vague question despite how it shouldn't be. His tone is curious and light-- he doesn't seem in any way upset with her but he still is not giving her much hint on anything.
It's long past time he find out how susceptive she is versus perceptive if she's going to get any information from him on his relationship with Gilgamesh—in any context. ]
[This is not what she expected to happen at all when she woke up this morning.
She'd been able to approach this sort of topic more level-headed in her own manor with... quite a bit of mental preparation before hand. Her eyes were wide as saucers at first, trying to figure out why the mattress was at her back suddenly, and Masamune a- above... her...
For all that she talked the talk, she was particularly vulnerable to the unexpected- which this. Very much was. That, and she was definitely victim to her own imagination. Her hands flew up, one to her face, red as a beet, and the other to press against his chest.
Oh. Muscular.]
I- If you must-
[She tried to say something coherent, she really, really did. But this was happening, (this, what was this, she hadn't planned on this!), and she hadn't really been thinking of Masamune in that way really, at least, not recently, and her knees pressed together awkwardly, tiny feet slipped in the sheets, gaze nervously averted, and-]
Please be gentle...
[Maybe she should have expected such things would begin to happen now that she was older... to think she'd been so naive as to even crawl into his bed in the first place! She had become a temptress without even realizing it...]
[ Did she really get this all out of books? Oh boy.
One day these thoughts and ideas will not backfire on him. One day.
Well, fine. He'll work with what he's got. Losing to a twelve year old in top of a 5,0000+ demigod is just humiliating levels of humiliation.
Without a word, he leans forward as if leaning in to give her a kiss but he'll bypass to instead brush his mouth up again last her ear. Sorry, he can't actually avoid that part being taken however she wishes, but when he whispers in her ear, it's not very sensual or romantic in its context or delivery. Gentle, but very flat. ]
...Is that your answer or did you derail a little on the topic?
[ she's totally way too vulnerable to be hanging around people like Gilgamesh, at the moment, wow goddamn. NTS: He's going to have to fix this. ]
[You really don't want to see what kind of books she'd had access to. That, or hear the boogie man tales of the lust-filled men of the outside world that had been intended to scare her off the idea of leaving her village and the safety a community of women offered.
That had backfired for her twisted mother as well, so at least Masamune wasn't the first.
When he leaned in she squeezed her eyes shut a bit, too highstrung by the sudden turn of events to watch, tangling her fingers and clutching them at her chest, heart pounding a mile a minute and surely near audible with how heavy the sound seemed in her own ears. She should summon the courage she'd mustered when her visitors had come to call at her manor- but that had taken her hours to settle her heart, and this- it wasn't like she imagined at all, nor who, really, and-
Except that's not just her heartbeat it was Masamune's voice and his mouth, and. Wait.
One eye fluttered open nervously, even as she trembled like a leaf beneath him, trying to process logic when really, she was also trying to prepare herself for womanhood. She sort of thought she'd have a bit more time, after all- !]
... A- Are you. Containing your lusts... ?
[Was he exerting some sort of... self-control, or. What was happening? Was this some sort of tease, or game? What was the question again? It was so hard to concentrate in this sort of comprosing position.. Read: Derailed.]
[ she's lucky he adores her or he wouldn't be able to put up with this. He lifts up now glancing down at her. ]
The only one with any lusts for containing here is you.
[ pulling back to remove himself from caging her on the bed before getting completely off the bed to pull go put some real clothes on. Obviously this is going to be a longer sleep interruption and has turned into a full blown wake up call. ]
You shouldn't let just anyone do that to you, you know. Even when you're the right age, you'll have more you can deal with of offers and you'll get taken advantage of. That'll be the worst experience and you'll never recover from it.
[What. was. happening? Sieglinde still didn't rightly know, still red in the face, still quite unsure if this was the moment of her deflowering or not, even as he pulled himself back and got up to dress himself more properly. She sort of just lay there for a moment, staring up now at the ceiling, blinking rapidly.
Processing...
Processing...
Until she suddenly hauled herself up, the red in her face now not from the nervous fluttering of a maiden's heart, but from the flush of embarrassment that came from realizing you might have been the butt of a joke you didn't realize was happening.]
Wh-
[That was sound advice if she was actually listening to it, but.]
What was that just now, then?!
[Why did she throw the roll in her hand at his head, that didn't help anything???]
When Masamune is hit with the roll in the back of the head, he just glances behind him as he ties his top in place. ]
Just now was a lot of nothing—you moved too fast, I never even got a chance.
[ What it was is Sieglinde's imagination going berserk just from a compromising position that didn't include him even faking a desire. ]
I was going to judge how perceptive versus susceptive you are. I don't know how often you see him or what you discuss besides those books, but if you want me to be honest with you about anything concerning Gilgamesh then I need to know where your head's at to begin with.
[Wait a minute, that meant- he was lying to her the whole time? That bit about Gilgamesh and he had been a falsehood, or it had not? Was this some sort of game?
Sieglinde had not grown up with siblings, nor anyone who treated her as anything but a lord- meaning that she's never really been the butt of a joke before, nor was she even accustomed to... joking in general, in any sense.
If this had been a game, she didn't appreciate it one bit.]
... that was just some test to you. It didn't really happen, or it did?
[The way she said it sounded like she was accusing him of something quite dire, drawing herself up indignantly and beginning to straighten out her dress with shaky fingers.]
It didn't get that far. You have nothing to worry about.
[ Masamune chooses not to answer her words concerning 'some test', deciding with a silent exhale that he can disengage. Sieglinde doesn't seem to realize his intentions, which prompts him to decide he shouldn't bother trying to inform her of anything to do with his situation re: Gilgamesh. So long as Gilgamesh keeps her out of it, it should be fine.
( It doesn't give him anyone to speak to and things are still clawing at him over it, however. )
He offers her a light and apologetic smile. ]
I'm sorry, I got carried away trying to see if I could make you jealous.
