[ She does... and pouts just slightly, but takes it, using it to help haul herself up... with a little effort, because she sways a bit on her feet. but that's fine. ]
[ maybe her clinging to him is a little at odds with that thought, but who's to say. it doesn't ease the nerves any for her, though. ]
R... right. So it's...
[ trails off a bit, searching. how to phrase this in a way that doesn't sound-- you know. Stupid? Needy? Desperate? Maybe she is desperate. God, that's a terrifying thought and if her heart goes any faster she might actually have a panic attack, no thank you. Just say it. The worst he does is leave, right? There's nothing wrong with going back to square one. You were there less than a week ago. You literally just let him fingerfuck you just fucking TALK. ]
... You really don't have to force yourself to do-- something like that. Like me, I mean. Especially when I'm not-- mmm. Not... very good, as a person...
[Oh... OH. There's a part of him knowing that giddy relief isn't the right response when she's clearly struggling hard just pushing the words out. But somehow, the worst case was moments ago, not anything near this.
His voice is warm when she hears it, and he lifts a hand from where it was holding her to run down through her hair.]
[His ears twitch back, and he shifts a little under her. Not enough to try to move or get her to leave, just idle in the way he'd be pacing if he didn't have a lap full of ????girlfriend????]
Y'know? I don't actually have any details on what's gone on with Phel, but I gotta feel or two, just by how he aint blinked about what I told him about me.
... And you're probably followin' where this is going for. But aint none of us have 'good' taste. And thank any god you care t'yell at about it.
[ She listens quietly at that, forehead resting against his chest.
... She's kind of realizing she doesn't know too much about Sett. That's normal, having only met a few days ago, and with how magnetic his personality has been for her. Which feels weird in itself until she thinks about the people she calls her "friends" back home, who actually know anything anything about her. Not a single human among them.
She is surprised, however, to hear that Sett isn't aware of Phel's background, maybe? But... he did only tell her because of that game in the first place... She's quiet for another moment before she speaks, hesitant. ]
Aphelios... is a little similar to me. Or-- he used to be.
[ an awkward pause. ]
Even with the things you may have done in your past, from what I've gathered both of you have moved on to do better things. That's commendable, I think.
Yeah. We ah... we got somethin' actually pretty good. Everyone we got doing it is ah... a bit messed up I think. One way or the other. I don't try and get on anyone's business.
[ huffs lightly, but keeps petting-- there's a palpable relief in her at that, her whole body letting go of tension she didn't realize she was holding on to. ]

Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
It's your fault!
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Here... lemmie help you up. [If she opens her eyes, Sett will already have offered a hand.]
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
I'll resist, I promise.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Lets him do this with zero resistance, curling her arms over his shoulders so she can hug him, tightly. ]
...
It's... okay if you don't. Sometimes.
1/2
[There's that pause and then, he nuzzles the top of her head.]
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
I wasn't exaggeratin'. I mean, it's not just the sex though I definitely like that a lot.
... I do like you, you know.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
she goes... pretty still, though sett will obviously hear her heart rate pick up, especially this close, a little anxious.
She seems to chew on that for a long moment (or just really fighting for what to say) before she finally answers. ]
It's-- um. We haven't... known each other long, so it really is fine if it's mostly the. The sex. I do like seeing you happy so I really don't mind.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Well ... good to have it early, he supposes. Fuck it, he'll cuddle her anyway. This is fine.]
Aint nothing wrong with wanting to see each other happy.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW

Yeah? Still aint feeling forced at all.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
I-I'm just saying. You could stand to have better taste.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
It's true. Smell an' hearing's way sharper for me.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW

In people. Better taste in people. Or women, specifically, because Aphelios is great.

I'm sorry. For making this awkward.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Ahhh, that's good.
And... I don't mind talking, if you ever wanna. [He doesn't have enough shame for awkward to have much meaning.]
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
About what?
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
... I don't... want to mess this up again. Talking about myself.
[ a pause. then, with some amusement: ]
It seems to upset people, for some reason. And I've already told you what I do back home for my church, which is really the most important thing.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
I would be on my BEST behavior with your mom, but yeah, seems like that would not go over well.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
If nothing else, she has the same manners she trained into me. So she would still serve you coffee or tea.
... I think Dad would like you, though, once he talked to you a bit.
