[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. ]
[... She still wobbly legged? Would be funny to find out, but probably rude. LETS JUST PICK HER UP!! He'll walk them both over to the bed. ALSO its a great view of her rack. Win Win.]
[ Probably less wobbly by now except for having been sitting a while but is VERY grateful to be carried anyway. once she's down though she'll just flop sideways onto the mattress and stretch aaaaaall the way out with a tiny, strained noise of effort (for an even greater view of her rack. win win!) ]
[WIN!! WIN!!! He crawls onto the mattress beside her, immediately just enjoying her radiant warmth. He settles a hand over her ribs and strokes along her side, the other hand scrunching a pillow under his face.]
[ the benefit of that at least is due to her ambient heat the blanket warms up VERY fast.
But also due to (everything) that's happened Val is like. Very very quickly drifting off, like finally putting her head down took all the energy right out of her.]

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.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Ohh? He a friendly sort then?

... Could we lay down for a bit? My thigh is starting to cramp.

Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Thaaaank you, Sett...
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Annnnny time.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
... If you've got things to do, don't let me keep you too long.
[ she says, while curling an arm over him to absolutely do just that. ]
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
[ she moves to get comfortable, smiling and happy and--
And then freezes, hearing the soft ding! of the dryer as it finishes its cycle. ]
...
[ perhaps the most miserable sett has ever seen her. She gets up to go get that first. ]
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
... yknow what he's right. If she gets up she has to stop cuddling AND put clothes on.
Okay. Burrows herself into him again. ]
Mm. Trapped.
Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
[He laughs and pulls up the corner of the blanket they'd settled on and flops it over the two of them.]

Re: day 7 overflow; NSFW
He just takes a deep breath in, enjoying the smoky tinged air around her, and then nuzzles his face against her and lets himself drift off as well.]
