CAUGHT THE AIR IN YOUR WOVEN MOUTH

Rivia couldn't help her brows raising towards the druid at her answer. A low chuckle oozed from her lips, her tail tuft flicking side to side at her heels. "That so?" she retorted, her expression flickering with intrigue, "Guess there are still sides of you I haven't seen yet," the dark cat concluded. Though, even as it were, Calypso was starting to worm her way behind the wall that she kept the affections for her comrades. Trust and the like wasn't easily given without some prerequisites. It had been some time since the other woman joined their crew and Rivia saw time again that she was an asset to them.

Maybe it was the relief of being unhindered by duty, maybe it was the warm meal in her belly, or maybe it was the icy fresh air and the company. Whatever it was her lips curled in a grin that could be called mischievous and an itch ran across her skin, an urge she could not name.

"An' which side is it ye wish to see?" There are a million things left unsaid but her words are both taunting and inviting, a spark of curiosity swimming in those ocean storm eyes.

Calypso's words almost startled her when the mood seemed to shift. She narrowed her eyes towards her crewmate in attempt to get a read on her. Though, she had come to know her long enough that it wouldn't entirely be easy. The pull of the siren was tempting, slinking down from her perch to become level with the woman once more; circling the peach lioness once in an almost predatory manner.

Rivia couldn't help but explore the possibilities that the depths in @Calypso's eyes held. Who could deny a pretty lady? The dark cat paused when she returned to stand before her friend; a curious brow lifted and accompanied by a coy smirk.

"Whatever side you're willing to offer," she purred.

Fight or fuck? Rivia was prepared for either.

the tension rose sharply between them and a delicious sort of desire wove through her very bones. calypso studied her dark friend with a bright curiosity and an unexpected wanting; her tongue swept across her lips without conscious thought.

"eit'er or," she purred and reached quite suddenly to press her muzzle close to her friend, "or bot'." goodness knows fighting had the ability to lead to more. one way or another calypso wanted to stretch her muscles, and she flexed them now as if to test their readiness.

the only question that remained was which one would she choose.

A good answer. Her purrs strengthened, briefly evolving into a low growl that softly rumbled in her throat. Rivia met Calypso's sudden movement, leaning into her pull on her and tracing her nose upward along her jawline. She paused in their closeness for a moment, drawing her tongue across her cheek.

Rivia removed herself from her front, snaking along her body and nipping at her hip. "Think you could keep up with both?" she taunted her, looking back over her shoulder at the medicine woman. Starting with a little tussle to get the blood flowing could be just the thing. Rivia would aim to give her a little shove and skip a couple steps away, a toothy smirk flashing towards her. Come and get me, then.

This is the start of how it all ever ends. They used to shout my name, now they whisper it.

⚓︎her heart thudded rapidly in her chest and a fire lit in her bones -- in this new world calypso had discovered a far more brazen side to herself. she had reclaimed her body and her desire, and she did not shy from it now. instead she leaned in to it, exploring this new and unfamiliar territory with only the faintest hint of uncertainty in her step.

she stumbled at first, almost in a trance, and then flashed her friend a wicked grin. "I t'ink I cen manage," she taunted, "I'll have ye on yer back before ye know it." Calyspo was no fool, she knew the double meaning to her words and relished in whatever reaction they might stir.

Forward, then, after the dark cat, muscles coiling beneath her as she sought to tackle the other feline to the ground. Claws were sheathed for now as she aimed to grab the haunches of her friend and pull her down to the dirt as she fell, seeking to use her weight (however slight) to her advantage. If she missed, well, she would be the one on her back, it seemed.

She wanted this - her. Giving in to letting go.

Rivia's eyes were firm in their choices and she was ready for this. Her taunting gaze drank her in, smirking as she charged at her. When her counterpart grasped onto her haunches, she growled playfully while her hips buckled under the weight of her tackle. Dirt scattered under the impact of her drop.

She kept her front end upright the best she could, pushing her body against her, claws gripping the soil for balance. The black siren craned her head back towards Calypso hoping to catch her ear in a teasing nip. With a twist of her body, Rivia would aim to scramble and free herself from her grasp.

If she found success, she would take her own attempt at whipping around towards the ocean druid in hopes to take her down herself. Curious to see who would come out on top in both sense of the term.

⚓︎this was new and exciting and she had to focus to keep her breathing calm, steady. her salt-soaked companion slipped so easily from her claws with a flash of teeth. they clicked shut on the hairs of her ear and she instinctively pulled her head back and allowed the dark cat to escape.

escape and turn, and calypso might have laughed for how free she felt.

caught up in the joy of the moment she did not react the way she should have, but fell instead beneath the weight of her crewmate. fell with a laugh on her lips and a sparkle in her eyes that spoke of a certain mischievousness so rarely seen in the healer.

she fell back and sought to gather her back legs beneath the dark feline before extending them, seeking to work with momentum and launch her over her head. it was a half-hearted attempt, though -- she would not complain if @Rivia stayed right where she was.

For a fleeting moment it seemed that Rivia bested her crewmate, landing over her with her paws taking hold to the ground on either side of the druids head. She grinned sheepishly, but it was short-lived. The whole move only lasted seconds, as did her feign victory. Paws pushed themselves into her stomach, using her forward motion against her and sending her tail over head.

She gasped and landed on her back when she flew over @Calypso, laying head to head with her. Rivia remained where she fell, stretching her muzzle up to nip at the top of her head that she could reach from where she was, her chest heaving as she lay upside down.

A low, sultry chuckle pooled from her as she caught her breath. Extending a paw above her, she cupped it under Caly's chin and aimed to pull her in close, nose to nose with her friend, running her tongue over the side of her muzzle.

and so they ended up on the ground, head to head, both breathing heavily from the brief spat. it was never meant to be a proper fight, it was never meant to be anything more than fun, but there was a charge to the air that weighed heavy. it was not a bad thing but it was new, and as @Rivia reached for her the medic moved with her, tipping her head back with a purr of contentment.

and then she rolled to her belly, suddenly, with the ghost of the dark cat's tongue on her cheek. calypso flashed her a quick grin and inched forward, crawling on her belly, until she could drag her tongue down rivia's neck.

a rumbling growl rose, then, possessive and needy and wanting.
