The Follow-Up Visit
Vincent knocks at the door to Shanna's apartment. The conversation he needed to have with her could have been done over the phone, but he had an armful of dvds he wanted to loan her anyway. A mix of nature specials and social documentaries, along with the pop culture. It was rather refreshing to watch her take in the world at large. He remembered what it had been like for him when he escaped-- ...when someone helped him escape Latveria.

"No discomfort. Just a bit of surprise." Vincent shakes his head.

"Well, I did some thinking, and spoke with someone I trust implicitly, and I decided that I'm okay with a... casual arrangement within our friendship. As long as you still are." Her use of the past tense prompted offering the get-out clause for her, just to be on the safe side.

And yes, maybe he's got an extra button undone on his shirt, because dammit, outside of the fans, it feels good to have someone finding him desirable again.

	She can't help but beam. "I am. I would not have stated my interest in sharing heat if I couldn't wait. I am not like some silly girl who hasn't had a casual thing before. I understand how to.... Compartmentalize what we are doing with any other feelings." Meaning she knows how to treat this as just for fun between friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent smiles and nods. "Fantastic." And then there's something of an awkward pause as he realizes he's just sitting there with the person he's agreed to have casual sex with at some unclear time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looks him over. Then fights to not just sling him over one shoulder to carry him off. She instead pulls herself closer and leans her head on his shoulder. She could go slow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You know what? There's no need to think about this much. They're both young and beautiful and free. And they've got the sense to have talked out all the bits that could complicate it already. Vincent cups a hand under her chin and kisses her. And it is good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She hadn't expected that. She had expected him to draw things out. He had seemed shy. That wasn't shy at all. She kissed him back enjoying his warmth and had to fight to not knock him over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Physiologically speaking, he doesn't need to come up for air for quite a long time, but he breaks the kiss at what seems like a comfortable pace, letting his cheek brush along hers as he speaks quietly into her ear.

"So... not to be presumptuous, but what did you have in mind when you first brought this subject up?" He smiles, letting a hand explore her waist as he kisses the shell of her ear.

And he's certainly not signaling like he's about to put up much, if any resistance, to anything she might do.

She let out a small pleased sound. Her own cheeks started to feel very warm. She was very happy to have Vincent this close.

"I was thinking of testing the strength of my bed under our...Actions," she said with a smoldering look sent his way.

"Right now though?" She runs a hand along one of his arms. "I'm quite tempted to toss you over my shoulder to carry you off Vincent."

But she pulls away to make sure the blinds are closed and instead of carrying Vincent off she plans to ravish him on her couch, then move them to another room. Hopefully her bed.

	Well Vincent doesn't seem to have any problems with that course of action. Ravish is probably a bit strong a term for the first time though. There's much in the way of getting to know each other, with the occasional laugh, 'Thanks', or 'Would you just--'." ~~ "Bedroom?" ~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callme_eight 2010-11-27 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	"That seems like a great idea." She pulls him up with her and excuses herself when she trips on his shoes. Then pulls him with her and shuts the door with one foot. There is mostly silence for a while. Followed by a side comment. "By the Daughters of the Ice and Sky, you are warm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-11-27 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm aware." There's a chuckle in return, along with the sounds of some shifting. "You don't need to be so careful, I'm somewhat durable you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you say so..." And then she starts going all out. There are a few loud creeks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's some groans as well. ... "Wait, Shanna--" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callme_eight 2010-11-27 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm just changing things up--" Her voice was at a very different pitch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent's not in much condition to object as positions change, but something is nagging at his mind. "Shanna?" He manages to force out. There's a light cracking of wood, but nothing has broken yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callme_eight 2010-11-27 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	She hasn't noticed the sound of cracking wood. "Vincent we're a little busy here," Shanna drawled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2010-11-27 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yes they are indeed. He barely manages to speak up again as the realization sets in. "Shanna! W-wait, you--" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callme_eight 2010-11-27 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	And she blushes brightly. A man who is shaving as he gets ready for work just.... stares at them. "Ummmm.... Hi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A more modern building might have just had a moderate hole as Vincent was driven through it, along with part of the headboard. This one's out of maintenance enough that it crumbles to leave a rather gaping one. "...oh dear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	callme_eight 2010-11-27 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm.... going to be in so much trouble. This is gonna be a huge breach of contact." Shanna gets a very nervous look. Then quickly covers up because the poor man shaving just can't help but stare. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm aware." Vincent says, trying to sound sympathetic, and covering himself up as well, ushering Shanna back to the living room.

After getting dressed and reporting the incident, Vincent helps her pack up some essentials and takes her out for lunch while they figure out what to do next.

~~

He pushes her veggie-burger towards her. "I know you're upset, but you can't let yourself get dragged down by an honest mistake."

He's learned to take worse than this in stride by now. Mishaps of this particular nature aren't exactly foreign to him at this point.

She had been pretty speechless. She had not expected this to happen.

Finally she manages to nibble at the veggie burger. "I should have realized though, Vincent. I'm much stronger on this world. Heat gives me strength. It's why.... We see 'sharing heat' as sharing of each others strengths."

She is blushing a great deal. It was out of shame of not controlling herself better.

Vincent furrows his brow as he eats his own burger, then reaches over to pat her shoulder, keeping his voice low.

"I know what it can be like. I went through a similar adjustment phase when I came to Midg- Earth when I was very young. I've had more than a decade to get used to managing my strength, it's a credit to you that you haven't had any other mishaps." A pause, then he amends.

"I mean like breaking furniture, not this sort of thing.." He clears his throat and goes back to his lunch.

"Kleea. I know what you mean, Vincent." She shakes her head. "I learned to manage my strength while i worked for the Empress. She did not wish for me to break things, so I received training in strength control."

She hadn't used any words from her home world in a long time. It felt good to let out a little bit of something from home. She smiles at him. "Thank you for being so understanding. I... still must manage my strength."

	"Yes, along with your living arrangements." Vincent comments, chewing thoughtfully. "Shanna... I think I might be able to help. I'll have to talk to my brother, and we'll expl-- actually, it may be better if you just let me do the talking." Vincent is very fond of his friend, but she hasn't really picked up on certain things that are Not Discussed so openly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
