[ 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... ]
