[ Luna's a worrier. Even if she doesn't let anyone else see it, she worries, she thinks ahead... it's just how her brain is wired. Except she didn't really think ahead this time around, considering what is currently transpiring... not that it matters. She just knows that this, whatever it may be and whatever it may lead to, feels right and is something that as supposed to happen.

She can feel something spill into her, something warm and she knows exactly what that is. She's not too worried, not concerned about anything coming of it. They're dead, after all... procreation can't exactly happen between two very deceased people. As he buries his face into her neck, she runs her fingers through his hair, a gesture meant to be soothing, something that just comes naturally after everything.

Even as she pets his hair and tries to catch her breath, her brain is booting back up and kicking into overdrive. They just did this, this really happened; they just had sex, out in the open where anyone could just barge in. Does she regret it? No. Never. But now she has no idea what is going to happen, how this is supposed to work.

It's what makes her lean in, press her cheek against his own and close her eyes. It's okay for right now... right now, she just wants to remain close, even if for a little while, and not think about what comes next. ]

[ She's not the only one wondering that now, even as he slowly comes down from that high he's managed to get himself on and with the help of her wrapped so tightly around him. The weight of this moment slowly begins to descend upon him and as he holds her there against the wall, breathing heavy, he sighs against her neck. His eyes remain shut, the warmth beginning to recede and the coolness of the night air gently coming to touch his skin. Now comes the awkward part, right? ]

You ok?

[ He goes with that first, pulling back from the crook of her neck and lifting his head just enough to look to her through the darkness. It's still difficult to see and that might be a good thing, all things considered. But he's careful in the way he holds her there against the wall, not yet setting her down. ]

[ This is definitely a little bit awkward. Except not as much as it might be if they were both, you know, totally naked. And in the light. Fortunately, awkward though it may slightly be, Lunafreya trusts Nyx and if this had to happen with anyone, she's glad it was with him. But it still doesn't answer the question: what now? ]

Yes, very much so. Are you?

[ She meets his gaze when he lifts his head, a hand against his cheek again as she tries to gauge his reaction and tries to get a read on what he's feeling right now. Did he enjoy that, even? What if he didn't? What if he hates her after all of this? These are all thoughts that continue to come to her, even now.

What even are they now? Friends, still? Friends with... benefits?? Is that not what people call this? She's not even sure. ]

Lot better than I was a few minutes ago.

[ He chuckles softly at that, leaning into her touch for only a moment before he shifts then and, with care, eases her down from the wall, mindful of her hiking dress and all. Not as messy as it might have been any other way (or time?) but, not exactly without a bit of a mess either.

Now just comes the... confusing and awkward part. Though it shouldn't be, right? Not really. But considering where they are and who they have living with them... it might be. Just a bit. ]

I'm glad.

[ She sounds amused, at least, even as she leans in to press a warm kiss against the cheek that isn't covered by her hand. When she feels him shifting, she slowly loosens her legs from around his hips and allows him to lower her back down onto the floor. She's grateful for the decency of it all, honestly, but she's not entirely sure what happens now.

It would be easy to awkwardly walk off, but that's not her style. She's direct... always has been and always will be. Which is why after a few moments of silence, she peers up at him again. ]

...What do we do now?

[ Nothing like the direct approach, right?

But as she asks, he's tucking himself back into his pants, shirt... lost somewhere to the floor which he tries to spot through the darkness before he looks back to her with a drag of his teeth over his lower lip. Gently, he gives a shake of his head. ]

I... don't really know. Shower probably. I mean... you should. Probably.

[ This isn't exactly what she was talking about. Maybe he didn't realize that, or if he did, maybe he doesn't want to talk about that. Or... of anything that they just did. So the best approach is to just... brush it all off. Probably.

She glances off to the side. ]

Oh... yes. Of course. I will go do that. Unless you want to first.

[ Once more, he shakes his head, stepping back enough to have her slip by him. ]

Ladies first.

[ Yet before she does go to do that, he reaches out for her wrist, fingers gently wrapping around it, and pulls her close to him for a gentle brush of his lips over hers. A kiss. He lets it linger against her lips, forehead pressed to hers and eyes fallen shut. Sighing, he ducks his head some before he nods, meaning to pull back and let her go. ]

Make sure to get behind your ears.

Thank you. I won't be long, I promise.

[ She never is, not wanting to hog all of the warm water. She smiles at him and means to walk past him, but she feels his hand on her wrist, and she stops. It all happens so fast, the way he pulls her close and kisses her again. She is quick to return his affectionate kiss, her free hand finding the back of his neck. She enjoys the closeness, even if this all adds into her confusion.

When he pulls back, she leans up on her toes to press one last, quick kiss against his lips before he can retreat entirely, her smile widening somewhat. ]

I will make sure to do that specifically because of your request.

[ Giving him one last smile, she turns to head to the bathroom, to take a nice cold shower and wonder what the hell they are supposed to be now, what happens next. One step at a time... ]
