[post-heart rate - visitors in ishgard]

[peacetalks]

[welcome to the holy see of ishgard.

the sky is overcast, as it always is, and there's a light flurry of snow covering everything. people walk about in heavy furs, breath fogging in the air. the streets are grey cobblestone, and tall and imposing stone buildings loom amidst wooden structures--some still in the midst of repair, although for the most part the structural damage from the end of the dragonsong war has been mitigated. the spires of a massive cathedral can be seen in the distance, towards the center of the city.

statues, too, are found in every square; the most prominent amongst them of a commanding-looking woman bearing a spear and a shield. people murmur quick prayers to her as they pass her by. "thank the fury," they say, as they mill about. there are some soldiers around wearing thick chainmail, though no one looks especially on edge. in fact, despite the chill in the air and the greyness of the sky, people look... normal. it's fair to say that the majority of them are elezen, tall individuals with pointed ears, though there are a few who look more "human". and once in a while, you might even see a young dragon flitting about.

the aetheryte plaza, where there stands a large glowing blue crystal, is most likely near where you ended up. with a bit of asking around, you can learn of a few choice locations--the forgotten knight, a prominent tavern known for their hot mulled cider; the brume, a collection of dwellings where the lower class tend to congregate; the skysteel manufactory, a workshop which develops constructs and other magitek; the chocobo stables; and the congregation of our knights most heavenly, aka the headquarters of the temple knights. you can go further into the city too, though it's probably pretty obvious where you'd find info about aymeric around here...]

[peacetalks]

As were you.

[coiling some of her hair around his finger and playing with it, just sappy and fond]

[moonlit_knight]

[cute]

We've said it a lot, but I truly am, so happy to see you again. To be in your arms again...

[flushes a bit, embarrassed by her own sentimentality]

[peacetalks]

[he smiles at her, so so so warm and fond]

Would that I could hold you in my arms always.

[moonlit_knight]

[Laughs, kissing his cheek]

Always may be a bit of a stretch with our work. But often, I could manage.

[thinks for a moment about saying something else, but... no, she wants to enjoy the mood a bit more.]

[peacetalks]

[from the look on his face, he's thinking something similar... and nuzzles at her shoulder instead]

[moonlit_knight]

[Sighs, stroking his hair]

In a year... my service will be finished. It's a long way off, still, perhaps I could stay for a longer term trip then. Fully take advantage of your hospitality.

[peacetalks]

... I would like that very much. You are always welcome here.

[moonlit_knight]

Very well, then I'll be taking over your spare room for a good long while.

[peacetalks]

I am glad to hear it.

[kiss!!]

[moonlit_knight]

[Holds him close and kisses back, savouring him, this moment, as long as possible]

[peacetalks]

[he seems to be of a similar mind. though eventually he'll sit up and look down at himself and his sticky front, and chuckle]

Rest, if you like. I shall return anon.

[he doesn't go far--there's an attached bath room through a door inside his room, and he goes to retrieve a washcloth to wipe himself off, and returns with one for selena]

Here, allow me.

[he will dutifully clean off any remaining stickiness on her, as well]

[moonlit_knight]

Oh, right, we should... Mm, please do.

[Lays back and lets him clean her off, cheeks turning pink]

[peacetalks]

[he's gentle and thorough, though his gaze does flicker down between her legs and he can't help but smirk a little]

[moonlit_knight]

[this is an unfair attack. Flustered, spreading her legs a little]

Enjoying your handiwork?

[peacetalks]

How can I not?

[his free hand drags along the inside of her thigh]

Seeing the evidence of you having enjoyed yourself so thoroughly... I cannot resist.

[moonlit_knight]

[shivers, fisting her hand in the blankets]

Is that so? Far be it for me to hold you back.

[peacetalks]

[his thumb drags up her thigh to brush along her labia, just touching gently for now since she must still be sensitive]

I did say I wanted to keep you here for hours... I wonder what sort of things you'd like me to do...

[moonlit_knight]

[Selena inhales, hips twitching up towards his hand]

Looks to me like you already have something in mind you want to do. I... would like you, to touch me...

[peacetalks]

As you wish.

[he sidles closer next to her as his fingers explore her, dragging down to tease at her entrance and gather as much wetness as he can before tracing circles around her clit]

[moonlit_knight]

Ah...!

[Spreading her legs wider, very much still sensitive down there, it doesn't take much to get her going again and she tilts her head back, moaning]

Ngh, Aymeric, god.

[peacetalks]

[leans down to kiss her cheek, fingers working steadily, not too slow but not quick enough either]

Are you too sore to take my fingers?

[moonlit_knight]

[Any hesitance she might have felt is quickly crumbling away the more he touches her, gentle enough to ignite that spark of desire and longing without completely overwhelming her. Selena winds her arms around his shoulders and shakes her head]

It's okay. I want you.

[peacetalks]

Good.

[he leans down and kisses her as he glides two fingers inside her, thumb pressed to her clit]

[moonlit_knight]

[Arches up against him, moaning high and loud, kissing back hungrily.]

[peacetalks]

[he hums into her mouth, pleased, as he rocks his fingers back and forth, his thumb moving in circles]
