[Voice] Shut Up About Swords

Let it be known...

*Oh dear. Judging by the drawl of Faye's voice, she's a rather unhappy woman indeed*

..that if a person doesn't use a sword, or even magic, in a fight, that doesn't mean they aren't strong. A person can cause serious damage with a gun. Or a fist. Or a hard roundhouse kick to the face.

*There's a pause as Faye takes a rather frustrated drag of her cigarette, frowning as she breathes out smoke*

Equally, chaos can be caused without violence too. It's amazing what can be done with a pair of pretty eyes and a smooth tongue.

*Double entendre that last one, if you please...*

So. Don't forget the pain that a nice girl with a pair of guns can cause. It might land you in serious trouble.

*Oops. Sounds like Faye overheard two of her crew discussing the strength and power of the members of the Roses. And yet neither of them even thought to mention the woman on board who's a great shot. Hmmph*

*Faye grabbed one of the cushions behind her and threw it across the room at him. Playful, maybe, though she did throw it kind of hard. She sat up on the bed with her legs crossed and her arms folded, looking completely the cat who got her cream. This was precisely what she wanted to hear from him, and she was looking rather smug about it*

Yes. You are. A thoughtless and insensitive idiot. But... I'll let you make it up to me. You'll have to work pretty hard to make me forgive you though. So I expect some serious apology-making to happen.

[he ducked his head a little but the pillow still smacked him in the shoulder with a nice loud WHAP sound. He looked at her apprehensively but was relieved to hear her saying she'd let him make it up]

Alright. I'll work hard, heh...any um...requests? [he could think of plenty of things he could do for her...give her a massage, cook her a nice meal, or there were plenty more...intimate options. But he figured first he should see if she had anything in mind]

You can just consider yourself my boss for now. How's that sound?

You think you're going to get off that easily? With me just bossing you around and telling you what to do? Ha! Not that I won't accept that... But you have to come up with your own ways to apologise - I need to see that you really mean it for being such an utter idiot.

*Faye sat with her back propped up against the pillows at the head of the bed, and stretched out her legs in front of her*

In the meantime, I want a cocktail and a foot massage.

[he inwardly laughed at this situation thinking she seemed a little like a princess wanting he pampering. But he was more than happy to oblige, eager to make her happy and comfortable so she could forget the pain he'd inadvertently caused her]

Don't worry I'll come up with stuff...but alright, I'll be right back.

[hed go the galley, though when he got there he realized he didn't really know how to make a good cocktail. Well...it was just juice and alcohol right? How hard could it be? So he made a drink of half cranberry juice and half vodka and tasted it. And almost spat it out. So he made another one with more juice and less vodka. That tasted much better though still not exactly like what he'd had at bars]

[he brought it back to her and started getting out some massage oil, watching her for when she tasted it to see if it was okay]

*Faye took the glass from him without giving any thanks and sipped at the cocktail. It tasted like cranberry juice and vodka... but it tasted fine, so she shrugged a shoulder and drank some more. She wasn't in as much of a bad mood now, but she didn't want Thash thinking she was particularly happy with him, so she glanced at him with narrow eyes*

It'll do.

*Then she leaned back and continued to drink some more. Faye refused to thank him or to smile, wanting him to know she was still less than impressed by his forgetfulness*

[he knew why she was still giving him the cold shoulder and he couldn't really complain since he felt he deserved it. He was just glad the drink had been good enough and she wasn't yelling or pointing her guns at him anymore]

[hed remove anything she might be wearing on her feet, rub some massage oil between his hands, and get to work. It wasn't really an area he'd had much experience massaging though so he might mess it up at first - unless she liked her feet rubbed the same way as her shoulders anyway]

*It would no doubt be evident by the expressions she was making on her face that it wasn't the most comfortable or relieving foot massaged she'd ever had. At one point, she winced a little in pain, then tried to wriggle a foot away*

You don't know much about human feet still, huh?

Um, sorry....guess not. Well I mean they're not that different from mine in structure. But I've only had mine rubbed once so I don't remember that much about how it was done...[he frowned a bit] guess I need to be more gentle huh?

[if she let him he'd or his hands back on her feet and try again with less pressure]

Oh, really? Get a sexy foot rub from someone did you?

*Faye arched an eyebrow, but she was really only teasing. Then she held her feet back out towards him again and nodded with a smile as she leaned back*

Yes, please.

[he gave her a flat look] we went to that enospa place in Aquatica Paradise and got full body massages remember? I know we both remember what happened after the massages...

[he tried again, being more gentle and trying to rub more along with the muscle structure of the foot to see if that would feel better]

Mmm...I remember.

*Faye lifted herself up a little to look down at him, her cheeks lightly flushed*

And I remember what happened next too. That's something I'll never forget, you know.

[he glanced at her then kept rubbing at her feet] really? Was it that memorable for you?

*Faye frowned slightly at him, then lay back against the mattress, enjoying how relaxing the foot rub was*

Of course. Wasn't it memorable for you?

Well of course it was....extremely memorable, but....well it was my first time. And it was amazing for me....[he was blushing pretty badly by now but managed to keep working on her feet, keeping his eyes on them]

It certainly seemed like you enjoyed it but I don't know how good or memorable it could have been since I was so inexperienced and you'd done it before and stuff...

*Faye sat up straight, but paused as she was about to take a sip of her vodka. She put it back down on the bedside table and pulled her feet out of his hands so that he'd have to pay her attention*

Thash. That was really, really important to me. It wasn't the same as - Never mind. But it was amazing. Trust me.

[the slightly apprehensive look on his face gave way to a big smile] it was...? Good. I'm really glad to hear that.

[cuz honestly he'd be a little hurt if it hadn't been amazing for her, at least emotionally]

Was it...the first time you'd slept with a guy that you knew loved you?

[he had to wonder if the man that had tricked her before her long sleep had done anything like that]

*Feeling bashful and a bit uncomfortable, Faye reached for her glass and took a few more gulps of her cocktail. Then she put it down and looked at Thash with lowered eyes, and she nodded quietly*

[he scooted up onto the bed, sitting close enough to run a hand softly over her calf] just know that...even though I do stupid, forgetful crap to hurt you sometimes, I do truly love you. It wasn't just great because it was the first time, it was great because it was you....because of how I feel about you.

*Faye sighed, resigned to giving up the cold shoulder, instead smiling at him softly when he touched her calf*

I know. I love you too, even if you're an idiot sometimes. And I'm glad... I was worried you weren't happy with it for a while...

Well...with a guy as pessimistic and insecure as me there were bound to be a few doubts no matter when it happened...[it wasn't easy for him to admit that and he looked down for a moment before looking back at her reassuringly]

But they're all long gone and there was no reason for them in the first place. I don't regret it one bit.

*She looked concerned when Thash admitted this, and she had been about to say something when he looked back up at her. Instead she glanced away for a moment before smiling*

Good. There would something wrong if you did...

Nope. No regrets there.... [though he still wasn't quite sure if he regretted asking her to marry him or not. It had certainly caused them both a lot of heartache. He wondered if he'd know when the right time to ask her again would be..or if there would even be a right time. Perhaps at this point it'd be best to leave it alone until she was the one to bring it up.]

[he looked at her feet] do you want me to keep going?

Good.

*Because they didn't have the time to regret things. She still worried about either of them disappearing suddenly some time. Again, it was a thought that made her instinctively touch the ring on its chain around her neck. Then she looked at Thash with a quirk of a smile*

No. I want hugs and kisses now.

As you wish, heh. [he scooted closer to sit right beside her and out his arms around her securely. Of course his tail curled into place around her as well. He kissed the side of her head softly, feeling how precious she was to him. Then he started to shower her face and jaw in kisses]

*The way that he was kissing her was quite ticklish, so although she had her arms loosely around him too, she was chuckling and wriggling in response*

Wow, Thash. You seem eager.
