Oops! Waking Up With A Friend

[Dragon]

"I think anyone, compared to you, is more feminine", G'hand told her. That had to be true. Akki had to be the most un-girlyish girl he had ever met. But it was also because of that that she had crawled half naked into bed with him on purpose. Points to her for that. "You think you would know better, trying to hide something from me. Admit it or not, that's your choice", he said rather obstinantly. He knew, and Akki knew he knew, so there was no fooling him. He looked back up at her, "Seriously though, you know I'm here for you and stuff. I hear that's what friends do", G'han was trying his best to be serious, while not being serious at the same time. He wanted to get across to Akki that he was there for her, while at the same time retaining his own humor.

"You know you'll accept them. You accepted that one and that wasn't even my best. You don't have to admit it, but you know you want it", G'han was trying not to laugh, but it failed. He burst out laughing afterwards, then stopped. "Ow ow ow ow", he hissed as he stopped laughing due to the pounding in his head. "Note to self, laughing too much isn't a good way to get rid of hangover headaches", he spoke to himself, trying to remember that for later on.

"Belly fat? Please. You're just being all shy with me. A little late for that though. I mean, I've already seen most of you by now", G'han told her with a grin. He rested his head back down on her as he thought on her suggestion. Had he done that? "No, pretty sure I didn't. It was a blur, but I remember enough of the feast to say that didn't happen. I would say it happened here after I knocked back a few more. That would make the most sense", G'han tried to reason what happened to his clothes.

G'han looked back at her with a smile. "I don't know about the rest of Dark Moon, but you're certainly my floozy", G'han said with a wink. Another thing Akki should have seen coming. G'han was quick to flirt with her. "I would try to not picture their childrendragonetthingies. They would be weird mutated things. And I don't just mean the color", G'han said, mocking a cringe.

G'han rested his eyes as he allowed more of this moment to sink in. As time progressed, the hangover started to dull. Akki did give him a pretty big scare at first. But now he was enjoying her company. He couldn't think of any other girl he'd rather have this moment with, this getting over a hangover moment with. He did let a content sigh escape his lips. If he weren't so hungover, he probably wouldn't let that slip. But right now he was too content to care.

[Akki]

She drummed a few fingers along her lips, thinking. “The other girls at Dark Moon should give me gifts or something. Because I am making them seem darn good and feminine just with my presence.” The sad thing was that it was probably true. She probably could have had made Tieler seem like a lady when the girl was still at Dark Moon. “Yeah, yeah. I learned my lesson. Blah blah blah. And you’re only saying you’re here for me because somebody is hoping I’ll get lonely at night.” Her infamous crooked grin appeared on her face as she looked down at the boy.

“I only accepted that one because I wasn’t warned beforehand. If I had a warning then the heel my hand would have met with your nose.” She huffed, pantomiming the action of smashing her hand into the cartilage. Her pantomiming actions then turned into a snap of the fingers, “I hear water is a pretty good helper for destroying hangovers.” She glanced over at the puddle of water on the floor. “You killed your water though.” She shook her head slowly, a grin still on her face. “Maybe now you know not to drink so much, aye?”

When G’han moved his head back down, she wrapped her arms around her midsection. “Looking at my belly fat and rubbing your head against it are two completely different things. You can’t just nuzzle a girl’s flab!” She scolded. People could view it, but not touch it. And even when they viewed it Akki had the tendency to make neck slashing motions at them. “Too bad. I bet some people would have liked to see a naked bronzerider dancing around.” She sighed. At least she knew there was one. She had been talking to Z’ayr the other day and he mentioned (With a wicked grin on his face) the occurrences that had happened in the kitchen. Apparently the boy was trying to get some lip action from a certain male rider.

“Don’t get used to it. Soon I’ll become everyone’s floozy.” She closed her eyes for a moment, picturing the dragons kin. Oh Faranth, they would be ugly things. Bronze and blue hide, arrogant and mute. “If you fall asleep, you can’t drool on me.” She whispered as opened her eyes just to see G’han close his.

[Dragon]

"I'll have to spread the word and let them know they all owe you then", G'han said, eyes still closed but with a grin worn on his face. The bronzerider always enjoyed the company of his female bluerider friend. He certainly thought she was one of a kind.

"Well, you're already in my bed so it can't be that", G'han responded back and wagged his finger. He just made Akki's point null and void by her own actions. "It was just one of those rare occassions I thought I should remind you that I'm here if you ever need to talk or anything like that", G'han reminded her. It wasn't often G'han was like this, showing compassion and all. For G'han, it was something that was something that went without saying. He didn't seem to do well on the whole emotional thing anymore, it was a bit awkward for him now.

In a way, he had Akki's influence to blame. When he was first here, he understood the emotional mess he was. But slowly he seemed to change, and by the time he was back from Telgar he seemed to be a different person. He could pass for a relative of Akki's, or her significant other which was always a rumor going around Dark Moon. "Oh, I'm so sure. That's not what your lips told me when I kissed them", speaking of significant other, G'han responded about the kiss. Akki certainly didn't seem to hesitate or back down when he kissed her. He assumed that some part of her atleast liked that kiss. He simply shrugged his shoulders afterward. Something told him that wouldn't be the last kiss they shared.

This morning made it pretty obvious that the two managed to get themselves in these sort of awkward situations. "Yeah, that's why I was going to it and failed in the most epic way possible. I'm pretty sure I won't be drinking that much, atleast not for a long while", G'han said, reminded of what he had done. A smirk crossed G'han's features as she mentioned her belly flab and the dancing. "I could dance for you right now if you'd just ask nice enough. I have no qualms with giving you a private show in my weyr", G'han said, making it sound as dirty as he could. Akki did walk into that one after all.

"Yeah, but you were mine first. So that puts me at the head of the line, just remember that", G'han grinned as he responded back to her. In his mind he thought that was true. G'han had better have first place when it came to Akki. After all the bronzerider stuck around her longer than pretty much any other guy, friend or otherwise. Though right now G'han was considering the fact they may very well be more than just friends now. They had joked around about this stuff before, but Akki just brought things to a whole new level with this latest stunt. And you best believe the weyr would be all over this juicy bit of gossip. "I could pull the "it's my weyr and my bed" thing, but for your sake I won't. You really should count yourself lucky. I spoil you more than most girls", G'han said contently as he rested in Akki's lap.

[Akki]

“Oh yes, please do. I expect gifts outside my weyr tomorrow morning.” Akki cooed with joy. As if though. People didn’t buy her gifts, save for R’xis that time. Instead they gave her weird looks and a comment that was impossible to tell whether or not it was a compliment or an insult.

“I’m only in your bed because I wanted to see you freak out early in the morning.” She replied with a rather smug smile painting her features. “Mission accomplished, by the way.” She practically crowed. It was clear to see that she had enjoyed the effect her prank had on the bronzerider. Maybe she would pull this trick on someone else eventually. Then again, there weren’t many people out there who would take the joke so well. She turned her head away from G’han, in case he opened his eyes and saw the glazed look on her face. Flashbacks were sucky things. Good ol’ R’dan probably would have handled the joke, but he was long gone now. Suddenly Akki felt quite old.

She turned her head back, eyes sliding into focus once more. She needed to stop daydreaming about the past, the future was where it was at right? “I think you mistook what my lips were saying. They were saying something along the lines of ‘Gosh, for a bronzerider he’s a really crummy kisser.’ Sorry.” She grinned. Her and G’han were becoming lip buddies it seemed. She’d better watch her actions a bit more carefully. Any more rumors about her and G’han together could ruin her chance of prowling around for someone new. She couldn’t help it, being alone wasn’t really her thing.

Akki laughed softly. “See, there’s the silver lining on all of this. Now you know better than to drink heavily. I did a good deed.” She rolled her eyes at his next comment, crinkling her nose once again. “I’ll pass on that. Don’t go ruining my day so early.” Private show? No thanks. If G’han was going to do a naked dance, it would have to be in front of everyone and not just her. Now that would be much more entertaining to see. She stifled a yawn, the early morning was not her thing. She had to sacrifice some good sleeping time in order to do this, and Akki liked her sleep. Everyone knew that.

“Is this where I admit I wasn’t your floozy first? Flings before you and such.” She laughed. She had the tendency to attract nice guys who later disappeared but it was fun nonetheless. “Plus I think Rhia and Christae would be first in line. They are part of the original Dark Moon crew that exists now.” She said, a fond smile on her face as she remembered the old days. “Ick, if you pulled that stunt I’d break your face. Now be a gentleman and grab my clothes for me.”

[Dragon]

"Yeah right, like that was your sole reason for crawling into bed with me. You saw I was drunk and thought you could score easy. It's pretty obvious", G'han responded with jokes of his own. Jokes that were now natural to him, and not so forced like they were at the lake. For all that it appeared to be, G'han was truely over this girl that might have very well swooped in and taken his heart away. Then again, with Akki in his bed it was easy to appear that way.

"Oh whatever. You liked it, despite the hangover breath. Leave it to you to crawl into bed with me, then criticize everything. I really don't think you could do this with any other guy", G'han snapped back, though it wasn't quite in anger or frustration, just in the normal jest that he carried on with Akki. Though he had to admit this time was a little more awkward, or would be if they were anyone else.

G'han looked around and looked at the two of them to put emphasis on his next point. "You doing all this for a good deed is a load of bull and you know it. Though admittedly when you walk out that door someone's going to think a deed has been done, good or not", G'han cracked up laughing, trying to hold back the laughter but failing. But it stopped soon enough with her next comment. "Oh whatever. You practically got your private show already and you said this morning was worth it. Adding this all up, it's pretty obvious what you meant by that now", G'han came back with another response.

G'han would have rubbed his chin and made a thoughtful look as he glanced up at the ceiling, but he wasn't willing to move from resting in Akki's lap. Partly because of the hangover and him trying to get rid of the killer headache, and also because he found this oddly nice. "I can just ignore all that and think you were mine first. They say ignorance is bliss and all that", he did manage a silent nod after his words however.

"Now why would I want to do something like that? I like you better without them. Besides, if I get up then you'll see everything. Well that's probably your little plan. Consider it a failure", G'han laughed at Akki's words. It may be a gentlemanly thing to do, but G'han wasn't getting up. He was comfortable where he was, he honestly liked Akki without the clothes, and most importantly he wasn't about to show off trying to get them, especially after all the comments she had made.

[Akki]

“Hmm, it’s sad that that’s probably won’t most people thought I was doing. It’s also said that it’s something that I’m likely to do.” She confessed with a sly grin. She snapped her fingers, “However. I would do it to some newcomer. It’d be a nice ‘Welcome to Dark Moon’ shenanigan, don’t you think?” They would probably have a heart attack and never come back to the Weyr again, but it would be entertaining. For her at least.

“I only criticize when you’re doing it all wrong.” Akki groaned, this time letting a yawn escape from her mouth. “Besides, I’m an expert at this stuff. Therefore I am obliged to tell you what you were doing wrong.” She would be an expert of this, no wonder her brother was hearing such strange (And uncomfortable to hear when you’re family) rumors and stories about the antics she often got in. V’ian had been trying to convince Akki for a few days now to get her to tell him all of the trouble she got into at Dark Moon. But the bluerider rather not share certain details.

Akki rolled her eyes and shrugged. “Whatever, if a drudge sees me leaving I’ll just pull them into my weyr, make some mad loving with them and they’ll forget all about seeing me in here.” It was, sadly, quite believable to see Akki doing such a thing. She lifted a hand to her mouth as another yawn escaped, “Don’t make me hit you G’han.” She warned as she let her hand drop back to her side. She’d hate to hit a near sleeping boy…actually, she wouldn’t mind but she didn’t want to do so today.

She placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him slightly, whining “Come ooooon. I need my clothes.” She stopped shaking him and tucked some stray blonde hairs behind her ear. “I’m not trying to sneak a look at your junk. I just want my clothes and I can’t get them since you’re on me. So come on, go get them for me.” She rambled, resuming her shaking once again. She was actually getting chilly but she knew if she admitted that, a giant death hug of some sort would be coming her way.

[Dragon]

G'han rolled his eyes with a grin on his face. "Yeah, if you don't scare them off because of it. Then it'd be more like a goodbye, than a welcome", he pointed out, amused. G'han gave her an eye, tilting his head ever so slightly from his position to look up at her from the corner of his eye with an eyebrow raised. "Yeah, you would be an expert, wouldn't you?", he teased with his question.

He ignored her rambling and finally gave into her pleas. "Fine fine, but no peeking unless you really want to do something, in bed", G'han snickered as he got up from Akki's lap and stretched with a mighty roar of a yawn. He then wrapped his arms around Akki's neck and leaned in, nibbling on her neck for only a moment before whispering softly in her ear, "I won't be gone long, I promise". With a smirk and a wink, he got up from the bed. But he took the furs with him and wrapped them around his waist, not really caring how much of Akki he exposed. Afterall it was only the two of them, she had on more clothes than he did, and he was going to get her clothes.

With one hand holding his furs on and the other reaching up to scratch the top of his head, G'han slowly sauntered out of bed a bit clumsily. He walked slowly, back to Akki as he searched for her clothes. His scar on his back was displayed proudly. It had healed well over the turns, but it was still quite large. The scar extended from his shoulderblade, down his back, then hooked midway down his back to cross his side. The hook shaped scar that wasn't displayed very often, was now carelessly showing itself to Akki.

G'han made his trek around his weyr, smirking as he found Akki's shirt, among other articles of clothing. When he ventured further for the last article of clothing, he found his pants. Deciding Akki was out of viewing range, and not really caring in the first place, he threw off the furs and put them on. When he came around the corner, he only exposed his arm to Akki and threw the furs at the bed. He then slowly made his way around the corner, acting as if Akki was about to get some kind of show. Finally he came around the corner, showing he had found his pants, and that he found Akki's clothes. He placed her clothes at the edge of the bed and crawled back into bed.

"There, I found your clothes, and some of mine in the process", he said triumphantly. He then rested himself back in Akki's lap. Afterall, she only said to find her clothes.

[Minajerie]

A small sigh of contentment escaped Andilay's lips as she slowly broke her way into consciousness. A few small smacking of lips gave her a vague notion that she had drank some last night. Andilay moaned as she woke up a little more. Disliking the feeling of consciousness she burrowed back into the substance she had been sleeping on... which was, oddly, not a pillow.

Andilay opened her eyes a crack. She was sleeping on something shiny. And warm. And was it just her, or was she slightly moving...

---

Admin's Note:[/hr] She opened her eyes some more, squinting at the bit of glare from light somewhere. When the knowledge hit her her eyes snapped open for a second. She was sleeping on the side of a bronze! DRAGON! ...When did this happen again?

...Her groggy head didn't want to think about it just then. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep. What could she say? Bronzes were comfortable. But after a few moments she frowned and glared at the world. There was no way her peaceful sleep would be coming back. So, instead of fighting it, she did what she usually did after waking up. She threw her hands up in the air and stretched- completely forgetting that she was a recent victim of a dragon mauling. A squeak of pain escaped her out of pure surprise as she pulled at her stitches as well a the healing scratches on her ribs. In a small voice she breathed out an "Owowowowwwww," as she cradled both chest and arm. Not a good way to wake up.

However, it was a good way to get her brain online. She had been sleeping on Gerenanth, G'han's bronze. She patted his side with some affection. She remembered asking if she could sleep beside him instead of the flamboyantly naked G'han- just to give the bronze rider a break. That and she had been a little tipsy herself, near the end, having shared some more drinks with G'han after she had deposited him at his weyr. She was very thankful to the bronze who had nodded acceptance to her inquiry.

She also remembered doing a little laundry... water basin style... she glanced at the still damp shirt and shrugged. It would dry eventually.

[Dragon]

No sooner had G'han found himself snuggled back up to Akki, his dragon had touched his mind. I do believe your other lady has just awoken. Shame shame G'han, two women sleeping in your weyr. You don't help the gossip that surrounds you here. Gerenanth was clearly amused and mock scolding when he alerted G'han to yet another female presence in his weyr.

G'han was still laying on Akki, but the realization did hit him. Wait just a minute. Two women in my weyr? There's no telling what I did with the other one if Akki could so easily make me believe we slept together. G'han had thought it over for a moment then sat up in his bed. He turned to Akki and patted her cheek lightly. "Get dressed Sweetheart. Seems you weren't the only woman to grace my weyr", G'han said coyly to Akki.

He got up from the bed and stretched. The scar on his back stretched with him, making it look even longer. He glanced back over his shoulder at Akki. "Oh and feel free to take a bath. It's over that way. Take too long and I might join you though", he said with a wink before turning his head back and walking in the direction of his dragon.

"So Gerenanth. You convienently kept this from me until now? I guess it's better that way. I wouln't have been able to wrap my mind around two women with my hangover. One was hard enough", he spoke to his dragon as he approached him. By now G'han's hangover was starting to die own. There was still a faint headache, but it wasn't near the intensity earlier this morning.

G'han peered around to the side of his dragon to notice Andilay next to him with his shirt. "Um. I don't suppose you have an explanation for why you woke up next to my dragon with my shirt next to you? Because I couldn't tell you", G'han said with a smirk. He hadn't care to put a shirt on, but his back was still turned from Andilay. That scar he had told her about was still blocked from view simply because he was facing her.

G'han did cast a glance to the side, noticing yet another glass of water on the table. Just why were there random glasses of water all over his weyr? Was he trying to sober up before he fell asleep naked in his bed or was it some weird game? Either way, he wanted water. "One moment", he said as he lifted his hand and walked off to fetch the glass of water.

As he did so, he did expose his back to Andilay, and the scar showed itself like a proudly displayed sash. G'han picked up the glass, not caring if it was diseased or not, and took a sip before returning to Andilay. "Oh that hits the right spot. Just what the healer ordered", G'han said. He then looked at the glass, then to Andilay. "Maybe that's why there's so many random glasses of water here", he said curiously, but with a shrug before gulping down more water.

"Aaaah", he said, thirst satisfied for now. "So back to what I was asking. Do you know what happened last night?", he asked genuinely, looking at Andilay with glass in hand.

[Minajerie]

When her side felt a little damp she pulled up her shirt to inspect her scratches, and sure enough, she had opened them again. Thbbt. She hated chest wounds. She began to unwrap her wound dressings when G'han spoke to her. She was losing her edge, for the man snuck up on her, giving her a little start. She glanced down at what she was doing, her shirt up almost exposing her goodies and her trying to get off increasingly damp dressings. She shrugged and continued unwrapping the wound. She needed to treat it or it would bleed over everything.

Andilay turned her head to the side, enjoying the view of a shirtless G'han. She had recently mourned the fact he was too lazy to take off his shirt, and was now happy because it meant that now he was too lazy to put one on. When he turned his back to her she caught her first sight of his scar. It reminded her of her own, except on a grander scale, and his was on his back, instead of on his side and belly. CoooooooWhip. He was sexy.

Andilay blinked to get her mind back on his question, and cleared her throat. "Well, If I remember correctly, I carried you up from the feast after getting directions from Akki, you woke up, said some more pleasant endearments, spilled a good amount of good liquor down your shirt... and mine, before stripping because you were all wet and then passing out in your bed naked. I sampled some of your nice liquor and washed your shirt... your pants were actually fine, as you can tell because you are wearing them." She shrugged as she finally exposed the angry flesh that covered her ribs, the scratches seeping blood around the slight scabs that had formed but then been pulled off by her stretch. "I'm still here because I drank a little too much and the walls were moving by the time I thought I should be going." She gave him a smile. "That and I was tired, and Gerenanth looked so comfy."

[Dragon]

G'han made no attempt to hide the appreciative glance as he looked over Andilay. She was nearly exposed trying to tend to her wounds. G'han remembered the similiar situation he was in when he'd opened the fresh wound that was now the large scar on his back. G'han was stubborn and it seemed the first couple weeks or so he was doing nothing but aggitating and opening that wound back open again. The healer was having a time with him and was convinced G'han would die from blood loss since the wound would never heal because he'd never let it.

But somehow he managed to not do that. He was convinced to stay down and let it heal enough so that he couldn't re-open it so easily. G'han smiled at Andilay as he was brought back from the memory and spoke up. "Do you need any help?", he asked genuinely but in a curious manner that seemed to suggest something else. G'han could be sweet, but he wasn't going to let an amusing situation slide. Afterall, the girl was showing skin trying to tend to herself.

"Sounds like you had a heck of a time taking care of me. That also explains how Akki knew I was in such a state too", G'han said to her as he responded to her explanation. He looked her over for a moment, yet again. "And it's only fair I take care of you now, I suppose", he said as he moved closer to Andilay. "Just tell me what you need to do. I don't think I have bandages handy. But I have some old shirts if you need some makeshift ones, or just something dry to wear", he added.

[Minajerie]

Andilay gave him a coy smile. She could see his appreciative looks. She knew her body was nice, she trained it to be a supple weapon. It was just an added bonus that supple was useful in many ways. "Help? No, I think I can get it to stop bleeding with enough pressure. If it gets too tiring I'll let you know though." She bunched up the bandages and using the length from her back area (which was clean), began applying pressure to her wounds.

A large grin took over her face at the mention of her care. "Oh, I'd say I babied you at the feast. You, being all cute and falling asleep on my cleavage. I'll take that clean shirt, I have drool and booze on mine.. and blood now. I seem to be dirtying my shirts much faster that usual now-a-days."

She also smiled at the fact that she was doing this here. If she was in the barracks she could have just stripped off her shirt and made some of the girls jealous as she pressured her wound to coddle and stop. Poor G'han, he was missing out on something she would do if he was a girl... She couldn't help a little bit of laughter, but it was accompanied by a wince.

[Dragon]

"Fair enough", G'han responded with a shrug and a smile. He had no quarrel with Andilay not wanting his help just yet. Though G'han might have just taken an opportunity to make an accidental feel cop. But he probably wouldn't have. Andilay may have just slapped him upside the head for that and while probably worth it any other day, it wasn't while G'han was trying to rid himself of a headache. It had just subdued, G'han didn't want it to flare back up just because he wanted to feel around her jiggly bits.

He also figured he got enough action he'd want for the morning out of Akki. Action he was sure was only a small down payment compared to what she owed him. He was definently going to get back at her eventually. "Cute huh? Glad someone can appreciate me when I'm drunk", G'han said with a slight chuckle as he turned to go rummage through his shirts for an older one he could do without.

He had finally found one and cast it over his shoulder. Of course he was convienently too lazy to put one on himself. And G'han didn't mind flaunting. Speaking of which, something did come to his mind. As G'han approached, he gestured to the shirt slung over his shoulder. "By the way. I suppose you saw me in all my glory. Last night must have truely been a shining moment for me", G'han joked around.

He slung the shirt from his shoulder and held it loosely in his hand. When Andilay was ready, she was free to take it and change into it. G'han was halfway hoping she'd return the favor and show him something. Then again, G'han was pretty sure if she saw anything, it was just repaying her for taking such good care of him. G'han was also convienently ignoring the fact Akki was still lurking around his weyr, either getting dressed or bathing or whatever.

The bronzerider probably didn't care at this point, since Akki wouldn't care what he did or said to Andilay and she should consider herself lucky she was never thrown out in the first place. Then again, Akki was half naked and made an excellent cuddle buddy while he was trying to rest through his hangover. That certainly didn't hurt her chances of G'han keeping her around after that little trick she pulled.

[Minajerie]

Andilay's mouth twitched. "Oh, there was much appreciation last night." She glanced up from her task and gave the bronze rider another appreciatory glance and then a good wink. "I most definitely saw all your equipment, but I decided to wait to test out the plumbing at a later date." Watching him strip had been an entertaining experience. Especially the three times he fell down trying to take off his shirt. Then the additional two when he was tripping over his pants. To be quite honest Andilay was surprised the man wasn't sporting bruises from all the falls. Some of them had looked rather brutal.

She glanced back down to her chest and lightly took away the bandage to see if the bleeding had stopped. Of course, this involved her forcing one boob to squish and move up, so she could actually see the wound, but it's not like she really cared. After she trained her neck to see that her chest had stopped bleeding she let her boob back down to normal and then reached for the shirt G'han had gotten her. "I can take that now, If you please." She would have to remember to take a bath soon after she left, otherwise her chest would be not only sticky and smelly (booze) but also bloody. And dried blood looked so dirty.

Not to mention she always found traces of it on her clothes. A hazard of her job she guessed. A swordswoman could be wounded more often then she likes to admit, and they won't ALL leave a scar to mark their passing.

[Dragon]

If this swordswoman could eye him like that and make comments on his equipment, G'han was certainly not going to make his looks subtle. While Andilay unwrapped herself and inspected her chest, G'han casually looked her over. This day seemed to have turned around quickly. It went from what he thought would be the worst morning ever to the most interesting.

"Tsk tsk tsk", G'han made the sound, wagging his finger with a very amused smirk. "Keep speaking like that and later will become sooner", he added, the smirk turning into a grin. Andilay was different from Akki, that was for sure. While Akki delighted in making fun of him and putting him down whenever she got the chance, Andilay was actually flattering the bronzerider.

When Andilay reached for the shirt, G'han pulled it away slightly. The action was an obvious gesture he wasn't giving it back just yet. "Are you so sure? If you need to clean up, the bath is just over there", G'han said with a gesture of his head nodding in the direction. "I can't say I'll give you too much privacy. Take too long and the temptation to join you will overcome me", G'han repeated something he'd just said to Akki. Though he was a bit more genuine with Andilay. She did have wounds to clean, afterall.

G'han would give her the shirt eventually. Now, if she wanted to pass on the bath. Or later, if she wanted to clean her wounds and then put on a new shirt. There was also the fact G'han was intentionally dragging this out for his own amusement. The bronzerider enjoyed playing around.

[Minajerie]

A terribly sly look crossed her face, and she looked up at G'han with lidded eyes. "Well, technically, this morning is later compared to last night."

Andilay's mouth twitched again, her eyebrow tweaking up as well. "Oh? You would try to take advantage of a wounded woman? Well, I can save you a trip right now... a bath sounds wonderful." After she said this she tugged off her shirt and threw it to the floor. Ignoring the fact that she was now half naked, she stood carefully and lightly trudged over to him.

"Look, we match." She smiled, her comment pointing out that now they both were only wearing pants. "I thank you for the kind offer, and assure you that it shall be taken up... immediately." She said the last part near his ear, her voice rumbly with challenge and flirtation as she moved past him. A bath did sound like a gift from heaven, so she wasn't going to say no, and she doubted he would have peeked at her, but it was so much more fun to do things men didn't expect. Like walk around they're weyr, boobs free to the world.

G'han thought on that a moment, a truely thoughtful look across his face. He then snapped his fingers and pointed at Andilay. "Point", he said simply, agreeing with Andilay. She did say later, and now really was later. Just what luck did he have with Andilay lately? Maybe she was simply just as bold in her flirtations as him. G'han had to admire a woman who could do such a thing.

"Taking advantage is such an unfriendly way of putting it. Consider it this way. As time progresses, your charm will be snaking it's way through my mind until it reaches my heart and sinks it's fangs there. The poison of pleasure will then take immediate affect and I'm sure you can fill in the gaps after that", G'han tried to phrase it in quite the metaphorical fashion.

He was genuinely surprised when Andilay threw her shirt to the side and stood before him, topless. He had been well introduced to Andilay's chest, and he was getting to know her bosom better each day. Now he saw her bosom in all it's glory, and man was it a sight to behold. "I like my women bold", he said with a grin. When she walked past him to take a bath, he was sure to adjust his arm just in time to brush the side of her breast. That brush was more than just G'han trying to feel her boob. It was a gesture. If she wanted to continue taking things to another level, G'han wasn't backing away from the challenge just because of some good jiggly flesh.

"Do be sure not to drown or die in there or anything. I don't mind gossip. Bad publicity of that level is what I don't like", G'han mentioned as she made her way to the bath. G'han sat down at a chair near his table and took a sip of water. He leaned back and let out a small sigh. This day was just getting better and better. But from sigh to grin, G'han was more than just content. He understood the new level of playing field he was now on.

But G'han had to be honest with himself. How far would he be willing to take things? Relationships or anything close to that matter was still an awkward thing for him. He made an attempt with Aaora. But that went south pretty quick. Now things were different with Akki and Andilay. G'han quickly realized something. "What the heck is up with all these A's?", he asked himself outloud to no one inparticular.

A whimsical smile smeared itself across her face. She hadn't missed the boob graze, in fact it sent a little thrill down her spine and made her want to shiver. She continued toward his bathing room, but turned when he talked about the possible drowning and bad gossip.

Andilay laughed. "Don't worry, it would be terribly bad if I survived so much only to succumb to some hot sudsy water. Unfortunately, this bold and poisonous woman is far to tough for that." She blew him a little kiss and vanished into the bathing room. Once inside she stripped to her skibbies and looked around.

Wasn't there another woman in the weyr? She thought she had heard G'han offer her the services of the bath as well... but there was no one to be seen. Andilay wasn't one to worry though. Perhaps the other rider had passed on the opportunity for a more immediate bath (which was crazy if you asked her) and had simply fully dressed and left.

Noticing where G'han kept his towels Andilay grabbed a few and then lightly stepped into the water. It was nice an warm... on the higher side of hotness, just the way she liked it. She stayed by the side so she could relax but still keep her stitches (the annoying things) dry. Using G'han's soap she carefully cleaned herself, and her hair. She was taking a proper bath, not just a light scrubbing.

When she got out it was with a little sigh of regret. But all good things must come to an end, so that better things can take their place.

She dryed herself off and then wrapped her body in a clean towel. She was towel drying her hair as she stepped out of the wash room.

"G'han? Do you have a brush I can borrow? I'm afraid my hair will tangle if I leave it to dry this way." She finished with the light drying and tossed her still damp tresses out of her face.

"Oh it would be. But it would be quite ironic. It'd be amusing to survive an onslaught of bandits only to be taken out by, say, choking on an insect", G'han mused with amusement. But now, Andilay was gone and G'han was left to drink his water and think on things. Obvious things. Like a naked woman in his weyr.

It wasn't as if G'han never had a naked woman in his weyr. But they were always something to think about. Especially when you could imagine them in great detal. Andilay was left to bathe in peace. Despite a part of him urging to join her, G'han remained tame and let the woman clean her wounds and freshen up.

When she had finished and came out, only wrapped in towels, G'han clearly took note. He gave another appreciative glance. "I do believe there's one kept on the small table near my bed", he answered her and walked past her to his bed. He looked at the water still spilled from his fall earlier this morning. He picked up the glass and placed it back on the nightstand, replacing it with a brush that was already there.

He walked back over to Andilay and handed it to her. "Just where I thought it'd be", he said simply. He smiled as he looked her over yet again and stood before her. "The shirt is on the table if you should need it", he said in a very amused tone. This woman had entertained G'han, and it only fueled his own amusement and fun.

It was hard for Andilay to not notice that he had noticed that she was only in towels. She didn't like getting into clothes until she was perfectly dry, and if that meant a little leg and shoulders showing... or more, she didn't really mind. After all, her body was a weapon, and she was a master at using it.

Andilay enjoyed watching G'han move. His muscles playing under his skin made her want to reach out and caress them. Feel his skin and perhaps even nibble on it... my, she must really be beginning to like the bronze rider. Well, his sense of humor was much like her own, and he could flirt and banter with her on an equal level- what wasn't there to like? His smokin bod? MMMMMmmm... Most certainly not.

Andilay grasped the handle of the brush he offered. "Thank you..." Her eyebrow quirking up at the 'if you should need it' part of his statement. "Are you suggesting I should walk out of here like this? Or just in dirty clothes? Or are you just afraid that if I put on your shirt you won't like how it looks on me and have to tear it off? Or perhaps you'll like it so much you won't let me go?" All of her questions were said in a teasing manner a smile in the beginning stages at the corner of her mouth.
