[ She rests her head against his shoulder. ] Connect like that? Mm. [ She nods, her hair rustling softly against his skin. ]

Although, honestly I... didn't know about the paint would help something like that until then.

It helps that you're easy to connect with. [ Not just because of his magic, but because of all the trust she has with him, all the love and affection. ]

[ Her head angles towards him as he strokes her hair, catching just enough of his expression. ]

I liked it. [ She admits. ] Feeling that 'everything'... keeping us in sync, and-- so close together. [ Knowing what the other was feeling, feeling what the other was feeling, it was a strange but wonderful experience.

A blush returns to her cheeks. ]
It's as if I felt your beauty, not just saw it.

Ah, that.... [ She goes quiet for a moment, either out of respect or embarrassment, because... Yes. As intimate as their connection had been, it had been as if--

They were really, really connected. ]


I felt it, as if it were my own. Your-- climax, I mean, even before we were joined. [ And then, as he might recall, she came.

This is new territory for the both of them. ]

[ She shakes her head slowly, her cheeks remaining red. ] I was just about to ask you.

[ ....She kisses him upon the cheek. ]

No. It all felt right. Erm, not that I don't mind being 'separated' either, when we couple, either. [ She supposes she's biased, she likes being with him in any way, paint or no paint, connected or not connected.

'Clumsy', he says he feels, when she hadn't gotten that feeling at all. She'll just have to continue to reassure him on that front. Also, practice makes perfect. ]

[ Very... messy. They probably should clean themselves up and their bedsheets. But first-

Gently, as if not meaning to impose, ]
Perhaps if you have an idea, next time we can try that.

[ She knows his drive isn't the greatest, but she wants that option to be there for him, for when he wishes to try something new, too. ]

...You've never come across as "clumsy", either. [ Instinct. All instinct. ]

[ She cuddles up to him, taking in a renewed interest in his expression. Sheepish and meek isn't something she often sees on him-- it's rather cute. Which means it's time to emphasize that he's absolutely the best at sex, in her totally unbiased opinion.

Her finger draws small circles into his chest, idle but obviously flirty. ]
Mm, a little like how you fight. [ From what she's seen of him, which would mostly be him fighting monsters in their video game together. She sweetens her voice, lowering it. ] As if you're improvising and following all of your instincts...

[ This ends with a kiss on his cheek. ]

Effortless.

[ She leans into his touch, enjoying his affection. ]

I suppose the connection helps with that... [ During which, they know exactly what the other is feeling. ] But am I that obvious?

[ (Probably. Definitely. Yes. The moment she saw his earlier expression as he looked over the mural, so determined and content-- proud, even?-- she had wanted to kiss him right then and there.) ]

I... Mm. You're right. [ She certainly said how she felt just now, something she's getting better at, and even if she didn't... she definitely showed it in more ways than one. Him, too. ]

I feel...

[ Her eyes slide shut when he continues those little affectionate pets, then opens them to the ceiling of their bedroom. Little flickers of stars of the mural catch her attention, reminding her that his art remains unfinished. There had been more she wanted to talk to him about in regards to the mural-- the crystal, Bahamut, how he feels-- but... in his arms, such topics don't seem as important as being lying quiet and content with him. Or maybe that's the point, that no matter how they feel, they can find security alongside each other. ]

That we should wash ourselves before we fall asleep, mm?

Shower.

[ She agrees with a nod, and after a moment, she slowly brings herself up to a sitting position on the bed. Her hand presses into his as she looks back at him, letting out a small laugh through her nose. ]

...And laundry.
