PORRIM: "I'm no+t quite sure. I do+n't think I go+t a go+o+d lo+o+k at his eyes." She hadn't been paying that clo+se o+f attentio+n and didn't think to+ ask. "I'm sure he will return so+o+n eno+ugh and yo+u can have yo+ur o+wn co+nversatio+n with him. I mo+stly just to+ld him abo+ut this bubble befo+re he wandered o+ff again."

No+r did she really get to+ ask him much, since she spent mo+st o+f the enco+unter assuring him that this particular bubble was witho+ut to+o+ much chao+s.

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Kankri's breathing caught a hitch at the muscle loosening from it's vindictive, nerve-wracked nodule. A grunt came next as she continued, "Th-That's much t99 6ad; Wh-Whatever the case may 6e, I am certain Karkat and I will- AH-" That spot wasn't all too good for him, he leaned back against Porrim for support, the tension that twitched beneath the surface of his skin was nothing more than an aura that could potentially felt rather than tangible spasming- not that THAT would be seen through his trademark sweater, anyhow. He hefty breath ushered out into the air, "A-As if I c9uld take my 9r6s 9ff y9u l9t 9f mischeif-inv9kers- especially with Meenah as the ar6iter 9f such shenanigans.." 04:01:24
(got distracted by... C A T 04:01:49
PORRIM: A so+ft hum escaped her lips as she shifted to+ have him sit o+n the vanity sto+o+l, co+ntinuing her o+nslaught against his tensio+n riddled muscles. "That's true. We certainly had o+ur o+wn fair share o+f tro+ublemakers. Of co+urse, yo+u can't say yo+u weren't always o+utside the lawnring that circled that particular behavio+r." She sho+uld kno+w, since she was usually the o+ne keeping him o+ut o+f tro+uble while he tried to+ keep the o+thers under co+ntro+l. Neither o+f them did a very go+o+d jo+b at it, tho+ugh it wasn't as tho+ugh they had much o+f a cho+ice. Destiny had o+ther plans fo+r them. "I suppo+se we at the very least acco+mplished what we needed to+. It's a shame there wasn't much fo+r us afterward." Po+rrim patted his sho+ulders gently o+nce she had wo+rked o+ut several kno+ts, mo+ving to+ stand in fro+nt o+f him again. 04:07:52
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] "I may have da66le in less than sav9ry 6ickering 9r what have y9u, I can very well admit that much." But not to the degree as most others, he'd say. Her toiling upon his invisible aches, that he had long lived and died with, was appreciated, but even now he felt like giving her that satisfaction could exacerbate Porrim's propensity to hover amidst him. The alternative, however, was to be impolite, and Kankri is a gentletroll, "Thank y9u. I was n9t quite s9 keen 9n y9ur initiative, 6ut I surmise this w9uld 6e fact9red under 9ur "m9re time spent t9gether"?" Him? Trying to avoid spending more time with Porrim? Absolutely... preposterous! Most certainly inane thinking! What is there for him to be concerned about? It's just Porrim. Yes, her presence can be a bit overwhelming and yes, there [i]MAY[/i] have been some... blunders... that took place yesterday, but that's all a big IF. This neck thing could have come from a plethora of different- OW! He winced, having accidentally placed his hand to the sore side of his neck while in minor thought. 04:20:10
PORRIM: Po+rrim knelt do+wn in fro+nt o+f him, giggling so+ftly. "Yes. No+t to+ mentio+n all o+f yo+ur memo+s." She co+uldn't help but tease him abo+ut them o+n o+ccasio+n, they were always pretty silly. "Yo+u can say that. I can do+ plenty mo+re to+ help yo+u relax, as well." She rested her head against his thigh, clo+sing her eyes fo+r a mo+ment. "Yo+ur neck sho+uldn't take to+o+ lo+ng to+ heal. I'm ho+nestly surprised it hasn't already. Has it been o+n yo+ur mind so+ much that yo+u've been unable to+ let it heal?" Her eyes peeked o+pen, angling to+ lo+o+k up at him as she felt o+ver the hem o+f his sweater idly. She wo+uld have to+ change his bandage so+metime so+o+n, she suppo+sed. Usually their bo+dies didn't take so+ lo+ng to+ repair mino+r injuries, but she suppo+sed o+verthinking injuries made them stick aro+und a little lo+nger. 04:28:44
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He waved away the mention of the memos. He needn't be reminded of one of his many, many... many... undervalued memos. They were quite informative, if he does say so himself, and he DOES because it's just factual truth. But be it far from his capabilities to rally everyone together- at least at the start, but even then... he let out a small sigh, not paying Porrim's investigation much mind, gently trying to pap her hands away from fiddling with his clothes, "Has what 6een 9n my mind s9 much?" What is she talking about? Those... fever dream memories? Those aren't real! They didn't happen, [i]NUH UH.[/i] It was all in a realm of imagination that his mindscape had no business even wandering into, molding a concoction of nonsense that potentially preyed on his want for... appreciation in his effort and recognition in his qualities? Yeah, that's all yesterday was! A DREAM! RIGHT? 04:40:25
("it was all a dream... why isnt my body agreeing with me >:U" 04:41:00
PORRIM: She lifted a pierced bro+w at his questio+n. Surely he didn't fo+rget abo+ut what had happened. Actually, it was pretty clear he hadn't. Him denying it was the o+nly co+nclusio+n she co+uld make at this po+int. Instead o+f letting him sho+o+ her hands away, she simply to+o+k ho+ld o+f o+ne o+f his. "I'm sure yo+u kno+w what I'm talking abo+ut." She pressed her lips against his knuckles, guiding his hand o+nto+ her cheek so+o+n after. Her face nuzzled against the o+utside o+f his thigh playfully, her gaze lingering o+n his face to+ take in any reactio+n he might give her. "There's no+ way yo+u co+uld have fo+rgo+tten abo+ut all o+f it so+ quickly. Yo+u usually have such well-maintained memo+ry." 04:57:10
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He opened his mouth to protest; seriously, why is every so physically invested with him lately? Was there some sort of "hug me" embroidery on his sweater he wasn't privy too? He swiftly disregarded those protest as she kissed and cuddled into his hand- [i]just like Damara did...[/i] No. No, no no- "I-I.." if he's remembering something what happened with Damara, then what came after was- "H-Hey! St9p j9king ar9und, there was n9thing that went 9n!" No, she was just messing around- [u]teasing[/u]. That was Porrim's way, to skirt and prod at his pysche and emotions, all in "good fun". He didn't take far too much offense to this, her triggers were rather light when doing so, but trying to implant thoughts into his head? No way! "My mem9ry is quite super6, I rarely f9rget anything!" 05:11:39
PORRIM: Seeing him get a little flustered caused her to+ laugh so+ftly, running her thumb o+ver his fingers. "No+thing, hm?" Po+rrim gathered herself up o+nto+ her knees in fro+nt o+f him, sliding her hands up his chest like a stretching cat. "I'm very aware o+f ho+w go+o+d yo+ur memo+ry is, trust me." She rested her hands o+n his cheeks, gently caressing his skin. "I do+ think yo+u have quite the pro+pensity to+ igno+ring certain things if it benefits yo+u, tho+ugh." Her face drew clo+ser to+ his as she said this, her lips ho+vering just a few inches away fro+m his befo+re she paused. She eyed his face o+ver again fo+r a mo+ment befo+re pressing a light kiss to+ the co+rner o+f his lips. "I do+n't mind, tho+ugh. I can always jo+g yo+ur memo+ry." 05:20:49
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] There was that aching sensation again. It coursed through his body in rushes that throbbed in droves, the touches feeling familiar- they were beats to a song he had heard only half of... the half that was missing was- "I-I've n9 idea as t9 what y9u refer." The heat in his face made itself known, a slight rosé flushing into his cheeks as her face got closer and closer, his eyes closed for a moment to brace for- [i]something[/i]. His core was constrained with that ailing sensation, tangled further with nerves, but it appeared Porrim decided to take it "easy" on him with a mere peck off to the side of his lips, "9-9kay! That will n9t 6e necessary! There's n9 need t9 "j9g" any mem9ries, there's n9 need t9 incite a marath9n up9n my th9ughts!" 05:41:17

"Quite the co+ntrary- I think it may be necessary, after all." She sat him do+wn o+n the edge o+f the bed befo+re settling herself in a straddle o+verto+p o+f him, pressing little kisses to+ his face.

She cupped his cheek, leaning in to+ delicately rest her fo+rehead against his to+ feel the warmth o+f his face against her o+wn. 05:51:12

"P-P9RRIM-" He could barely eek out a moment for reprimand for their new obscene configuration, her kisses certainly stopped him in his tracks to that end. He couldn't halt the countenance of his face from morphing into a bit of whiny display, blush in full scarlet swing. A yielding hand came up [i]toward[/i] her shoulder, but he found it hard to actually attemtp to push at her,"N-N9, I D9N'T KN9W!

Her o+wn hand came back to+ rest o+verto+p o+f his, dragging his hand do+wn to+wards her chest instead. She to+o+k in a deep breath, her head tilting as she shifted herself o+verto+p o+f him. "I really do+ think I co+uld help yo+u relax quite a bit if yo+u'd let me, yo+u kno+w." Her vo+ice came o+ut in a murmur as she feathered a few kisses o+ver his jaw, her hair cascading o+ver her sho+ulder in between them. 06:17:31
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Whoa, whoa, whoa! He managed to restrain his hand against her movements, he may not be looking, but he has a good sense for where she was attempting to get his touch and nether regions were [i]NOT[/i] in his plans. Even so, he may have stopped the hand, but he can't stop her kissy assault at all, not like this, "I-I swear I've n9 faculty n9r aptitude that c-c9uld cause this... unrest in 9thers!" He let out a soft pant, feeling a smidge overheated in spite of her cool touch, "I-I d9 n9t 6elieve w-we're thinking 9f the same type 9f "relaxati9n".." he leaned a bit away, which only serves to stress his neck, causing him to flop on his back to hold the sore spot. Kankri figures she- SOMETHING- hah hah, something must have really dug into him. 06:28:29
PORRIM: "Maybe the fact yo+u avo+id it so+ is what causes it?" Her wo+rds were interrupted by quiet giggles as she watched him struggle against her. Perhaps it was true- his clear avo+idance o+f anything relating to+ it just made him cuter. Maybe part o+f it was because it was such a stark co+ntrast to+ what so+me o+thers were like. She watched him fall back after straining his neck, letting o+ut a small sigh. Po+rrim leaned do+wn to+ plant a firm kiss against Kankri's lips befo+re lifting herself o+ff o+f him, pulling so+me bandages fro+m her sylladex.

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He was too enthralled with the pain to pay any attention to her words- why does he ache with such a rampant pulse? Not just his neck, but his whole body.. it made his skin sensitive and his clothes felt like imprisonment rather than the comforting shields to promiscuity he knew them as, but he couldn't ignore her kissing him yet again. Before he knew she was fiddling about with his wound. He sucked in air through his teeth for brief moment, small whimpers being drawn forth until she had completely redone her patchwork, "A-Ah... Thank y9u f9r that.." he slowly brought himself to sit up straight once more, taking it careful as not to strain anything else, "I'm sure this... infatuati9n every9ne seems t9 6e har69ring t9wards my 6eing is 6ut an illusi9n 9f s9me s9rt- it has t9 6e." 06:54:16
PORRIM: Po+rrim's eyes fo+llo+wed him carefully, reaching her hand o+ut to+ rest it o+ver his. "Well, I suppo+se everyo+ne is pro+ne to+ crushes." She to+o+k his hand into+ hers, ho+lding it between bo+th o+f her hands and fiddling with his fingers a little. "I can't say that it's an illusio+n, but I also+ can't speak fo+r any o+thers who+ may be harbo+ring feelings fo+r yo+u." Lifting his hand, she held it against her cheek again and clo+sed her eyes. "Even if yo+u refuse to+ take me serio+usly, I do+n't mind waiting." It wasn't like she wasn't go+o+d at waiting fo+r o+thers, after all. There's plenty o+f waiting to+ be do+ne in the afterlife. 07:08:13
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] There Porrim goes again, talking about things he mostly doesn't get- not from a lack of conceptualization... okay, a little bit of that, but it also is coming at him after she just PEPPERED HIM with her mouth, so his comprehension may have a veil covering it ever so slightly. Crushss... as if he'd believe that- sure he has had ONE, but he is entirely over it, not to mention he's entirely certain in Latula's happiness with Mituna. Everyone else must just be... bored. That makes more sense! Bored or subconsciously projecting someone else onto him, whatever the case may be, he'd like to NOT be a centric object to receive afflictions of affection... "9f c9urse I take y9u seri9usly, P9rrim. I take every9ne seri9usly. Why w9uld y9u 6elieve 9therwise?" 07:18:58

She knew that she wasn't the o+ne he may ho+ld real affectio+ns fo+r, but she also+ wasn't the type to+ give up o+ver so+mething like that if there was a way aro+und it.

I am certain that is a deterrent t9 m9st, if n9t all s9-called "admirers"." He meant it when he said he takes her and everyone else seriously, but that's just as people. When it comes to claims and admissions? Welllll... he's more willing to play with a much broader scope of what is and is not "serious". Unfortunately, Kankri's naivety makes him susceptibleto tricks at times, "I can figure 9ut that much, 6ut it is n9t harmful t9 6e prepared in that regard."

What use is there for him to disown his vows? Meager indulgences? Aspirations of short bursts of euphoria? Quadratic facilitations? Hah, what ridiculous notions. As for the openness, he's at a loss to what she means. If it's the... kissing, then it has nothing to do with him. EVERYONE ELSE seems to have some kissy fever and he got dragged into, they're all just... mistakes. He is just thankful that kissing does not impede upon his vows, he simply doesn't participate in physically charged engagements of affections. He didn't know if he really [u]believed[/u] any of what Porrim had spouted in reference to himself and others'... tenderness toward him, but he figured if it may put her mind at ease if he at least recognized it, "That is nice.

@bones HORUSS ==> Ah, now there’s something that’s more comforting. An order. “As you wish, dear lady Porrim! I am yours to command.” The urge remains to keep an iron deathgrip on the battered leather overalls, fallen comrade of many battles. But orders are orders. He deposits the bundle of fabrics into her hands, with a sigh, barely audible. It clinks a little. [br] [br] Porrim is right, this hallway is starting to feel like an unsupervised dynamite factory. And yet... it’s less about her presence specifically, than about the horrible flood of memories lying in wait behind every one of these doors. “Ah no, how callous of me! I didn't mean to give you the impression your unsolicited presence inspired any sort of intense disquiet in me. Why, I'm simply spurred to utmost jubilation by your kindness!” Rambling and rambling. Her shooing hand isn’t specifically an order, so he just kind of ignores it. “I demand that you- that is, ask you politely and noncoercively, if it would so behoove you, to let me assist you in some way? The thought of you embridled in hard labor with nothing offered as thanks would eat away at me.” And the last part of that statement is true, at least. 14:01:31

[color=#005682]♏: Her bestowed upon title was eloquent and powerful, however most could not properly say it or would butcher it, most referred to her by marquise or mindfang. Though her grubname was Arenea, she has yet to feel the need to let him call her by that yet. “Yes, running a ship is hard work. You need to 8e demanding to get things done properly. Since death I have 8een doing it all on my own as you can see.” When he called her fang a light hue of cerulean would dawn her face for a fleeting moment, it was gone quickly as it began. [br] [br] The change of scenery was nice especially since it was now more familiar to her, looking at the lowbloods face as it kept flushing the more he spoke and drank, she knew he wore his heart on his sleeve and his face. She was sure this wasn’t just the alcohol. His new attire was intriguing to her, she never needed to warm up due to being colder. Her attire hadn’t changed that much, the only differences were extra accents or golden accessories, she had never really cared about changing what she already liked. [/color] 14:51:39
[color=#005682]♏: “Well if you insist on it, i cannot turn down such an offer. You never know what could happen in the vast bubbles.” His offer for companionship was something she wasn’t fully expecting from him but then again the bubbles are vast and you never know what could happen. She would finish off her own drink, setting it down. “I have a few that come to mind, 8ut only if you want to try them, I have no qualms keeping you as a guest indefinitely on my galleon.” Watching him bring his chair closer, it was quite entertaining to watch him try to choke down this kind of alcohol, it was in fact more low end even though it was made for highbloods. She would let out a hearty laugh at his efforts to look cool, putting a hand on his shoulder. Once her laughing ceased she would finally talk again. “It’s just us here, you don’t have to pretend to like high8lood alcohol. If you insist on trying the good stuff you can 8ut you might not 8e a8le to keep it down.” [br] [br] She would push herself up from her seat, walk over towards a seemingly normal area and open up a compartment, pulling out some very overly expensive highblood booze. Hidden alcohol all over the ship and other various treasures, this wouldn’t be too much of a surprise though considering how well she knows her own galleon. Walking back with it and setting the large bottle down in front of him and sitting back down. “You may try to stomach it if you must.” [/color] 14:51:51

♊: Psii blinked and returned back to reality after dissociating for a long time. "That was... wait- oh great the seadweller kid is not here" Psii sighed and rubbed his head before heading back and look for Signless and Disciple. 15:33:11
[color=#416600]♌: She had taken a nap on the couch, while she had let sufferer look at more of the furnishings of the particularly large hive. She would get up and stretch before looking around, her new outfit made it easier for her to move so she was happy about it.[/color] 15:35:40
[color=#FF0000]♋: Signless was studying some of the furniture, as if he was trying to put together in his head how it was built. It was making it increasingly obvious that furniture making probably wasn't within his skillset... Sigh. 15:38:50
[color=#FF0000]♋: He's probably just staring at a bookshelf in the lounge. 15:39:08
♊: "What the heck did i miss-" 15:41:35
[color=#416600]♌: She would turn to look at psii with a smile. “We found a new purrlace to call home and i got new clothes furrom the mini dolorosa.”[/color] 15:42:51
[color=#FF0000]♋: He turned his head at the sound of his friend's voice. "Oh- Yes, you didn't miss too much. Although... I believe we saw the Grand Highblood somewhere around here a while ago... He didn't seem intent on bothering us, at the very least." 15:43:52
♊: "THE Grand Highblood?? Big Kurloz???" He was already ready to hiss and throw optic blasts everywhere. 15:48:25
[color=#416600]♌: "We were taking a bath so he walked away laughing." [/color] 15:49:16
[color=#FF0000]♋: He nodded. "Yes, he didn't seem to have any plans of approaching us... I suppose that's better than the alternative." 15:49:54
♊: "As long as you are ok... how long was I thinking about the war?" 15:54:28

[color=#FF0000]♋: Signless lifted a hand to shooshpap Psii gently. "I'm sure you will recover in good time. We will do our best to help you." 15:56:46

[color=#FF0000]♋: He laughed out loud. "Yes, that's fair. I suppose neither of us are particularly skilled with anything aside campfire cooking..." 16:03:09

[color=#005682]ARANEA: She fully entered the room, tossing some towels down onto the mess that had been created to soak up some of the spilled drinks. The full mess could be dealt with later. "It's a little easier if you look at a surface and imagine what you want on said surface. In this particular 8u88le, though, if you imagine what you want 8efore opening the fridge in the kitchen it makes it a lot easier. This place seems to have some peculiar traits, outclassing even some of the other 8u88les I have 8een in. And I've 8een wandering the 8u88les for many eons." 16:33:09

THAT IS FURR, I HAVEN’T GONE ANY MYSELF.

[color=#2B0057]KURLOZ: Most places were more enjoyable with Meulin at his side. She knew how to have fun more than he did most times- at least, when it came to more standard activities. He was aware that she spent more of her time doing things to help others than she did to help herself, often to her own detriment. <WE CAN COME HERE TOGETHER MORE OFTEN IN THE FUTURE. IT WILL DO YOU SOME GOOD TO TAKE SOME TIME MOTHERFUCKIN RECUPERATING FROM ALL YOUR MIRTHFUL ACTIVITIES.> 16:43:12
[color=#416600]MEULIN: She helps others because it was fun for her and it kept her from being bored, plus she did not have as much fun alone most of the time, that being said she does try to occupy herself when she’s alone it’s just not always fun. (^･ω･^) < REALLY? THAT WOULD MAKE MEOW SO HAPPY! MEW ARE RIGHT, I N33D TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF MEOWSELF.> She has no reason to argue considering he’s right.

His eyes angled towards her hand when she trailed her fingers down his arm, causing him to pause for a moment. He reached his hand out to gently stroke her hair, leaning in to press a light kiss to her cheek. 18:07:21
