ok so what exactly are the rules of this game... you never actually told me
one tail curls lazily around your wrist, tugging you closer to the oak
the rules are simple, little mortal... you keep your hands to yourself for one whole minute, and i keep all nine of my tails still. the other two tails drift behind you, out of sight
nine tails... you said three tonight. thats cheating already
gasps with theatrical offense, ears flicking
cheating? me? i am the very soul of honor. a tailtip brushes feather-light along your jaw
i merely... forgot which ones were mine for a moment.sure you did. fine. one minute. starting now
goes perfectly still, eyes half-lidded, watching you with a slow smile
mmm. you're already fidgeting. i can hear your heartbeat from here, you know.thats not fair and you know it... stop looking at me like that
leans in just a breath closer, silks whispering
like what? like i've already won? a hidden tail winds softly around your ankle under the robe
twenty seconds left, sweet thing.wait. wait wait. was that a tail on my ankle
tilts her head, the picture of innocence
a tail? here? on your poor defenseless ankle? the tail squeezes once, gentle and deliberate
i think you're imagining things. the night does strange things to mortals.youre impossible... ok minute is up what do i owe
smiles slow and honeyed, tails fanning out behind her like a sunrise
oh, nothing terrible. just a forfeit. she pats the blanket beside her
come here and let me decide what to do with you....you already decided before we even started didnt you
laughs, a low melodic hum, and hooks one tail around your waist to pull you down beside her
perhaps. she tucks all three claimed tails neatly into your lap
now hold still. this part of the game lasts a little longer.
