Loss Start - He Did Not Approve This Surgery

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

[Morning]

[Oh Paradisa. It is such a lovely morning isn't it? Birds chirping outside, gentle, crisp, autumn sunshine. It's one of those days you just want to laze about in bed, stretch a bit and maybe curl up to that special someone, and - ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Hear a very feminine scream of panic. 

Now, normally, Ashura does not panic, but this... well, this is well worth the panic.]

[Afternoon]

[Having calmed down some and somehow being assured this was neither permanent nor probably long lasting, Ashura is out and about, walking around the Castle in his brand new body. He is trying not to feel to uncomfortable in perhaps the most modest outfit he could find in his equally changed wardrobe, and is intent on going outside to the gardens in hopes that nature will help him find a better sense of calm. Of course, this requires walking through the Castle and this, in and of itself, is an extreme source of discomfort. Please, by all that is holy, do not let anything happen that will just make this worse.]

[He looks away, blushing]

I can see that! What is it that you want me to do?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

For one, stop cowering behind the bed like I'm some horrid creature.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'm not...I'm not cowering]. [Totally pouting now]

Ashura...[approaches cautiously]

_{[She turns to look at him, wrapping her arms around her breasts, her ears drooping a bit.]}

I did not need this right after the shard business...

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[That was a bad sign.]

It wasn't the worse loss you've been on...

[His cheeks color for an entirely different reason, his hand going up to cover the fading bruise on his neck that served as a reminder of a very different version of his lover. One he hadn't minded all that much]

_{[Her own color as well, realizing what he meant when his hand went to the mark. She remembered all that had happened on that loss, even the... more pleasurable things. It was astonishing, really, to discover such a thing about Felix, but she had been to shy and unsure to try it again without the aid of the shard's more evil nature.]}

No.... but still. I had hoped some reprieve before being played with again.

[Felix stares at the floor]

I understand and I am...sorry...for what it is worth.

_{[She nods and goes to the closet, finding a light robe and tossing it on, glad it is loose enough to accommodate for her new assets.]}

Help me do my hair?

_{[She liked it when Felix played with her hair, and she needed that comfort now.]}

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[He could make that concession at least. Could maybe pretend this was the same body he remembered]

Let me get a brush...

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She smiles, grateful, and goes to sit on the stool before their vanity, opening her jewel box and picking out her ornaments for the day, trying to act as normal as possible.]}

[Felix returns shortly and sets to work on brushing out the length of Ashura's hair, his mind focused on the soft strands against his fingers]

_{[She sighs gratefully, as ever the simple act of playing with her hair serving to bring her joy and relax her, leaning back a bit towards him.]}
