[lets out a soft hiss, his eyes flashing bright blue when he meets estinien's gaze]

As you wish.

[with a pointed roll of his hips, aymeric thrusts into estinien to the hilt, holding himself there so estinien can feel all of him while he quickly strips off his glove and tosses it aside. with both hands now free he leans fully onto estinien, arms wrapping around his torso so he can press him into the bed, forcing him to arch his hips if he wants to keep aymeric inside him.

aymeric presses a kiss to the back of estinien's neck, tenderly, and then he snaps his hips forward hard]

[finalsteps]

[ And he so does feel every single inch of Aymeric. From head to hilt, inside of him. He lets out a groan of relief. The weight on his back is nice, and he moves whatever way Aymeric turns him. Arching his hips up happily for him, tail swaying back and forth as much as it is allowed. ]

Shite, Aymeric!

[ There is a desperate plea behind that. His nails digging into the sheets again. ]

[peacetalks]

[aymeric's tail finds estinien's and coils with it tightly off to the side, as one hand that's not gripping estinien's hip reaches for his hand and entwines his fingers with estinien's]

Too much?

[said huskily, in the tone where he knows it's not too much, he knows estinien wants more, he just wants to hear estinien say it. aymeric grinds himself deep into estinien's ass, barely pulling out with each thrust, barely giving him time to breathe]

Or not enough?

It's another one of those games. Please, if you're getting this, let me know.

-
Estinien, I know you hate these devices, but if you can!!

-
Shite, Gaius and Venat aren't responding either.

-
I can't reach anyone else...

-
They're thinking of picking between Bugbear and Kraken. At least we'll be able to protect you.
I can't bear losing you again. I can't.

-
It's a choice between both, but knowing we'd protect each other, 'tis the right one, I think.
If we strike each other, we nullify the attack.

-
Strange, this is...
The voting isn't going the way I expected.
Saturn is discussing the possibility we don't attack Bugbear, because we're certain Kraken or Bugbear will come for us with the hope we'll strike at them.
But, I know you would, you've promised not to die again- and this way neither of us will...
I'm scared, Estinien.

-
I don't agree with this.
This is just going to...
I know I'm fine whatever the outcome, but-
This isn't how I wanted things to happen.
I'm still going to speak up for Bugbear. But I think people here are scared of killing Bugbear again even by accident...
And everyone in Kraken- they're not used to that.
But I don't think this should matter...
Estinien, if Bugbear strikes at us...
Don't feel guilty, alright?
You know I'd be glad, whatever the outcome.

-
An Ehsk In.
I love you.
I know Aymeric is hurting too.
Please forgive us both.
Please don't blame yourself.
If it came down to it, falling by your hand is the better way to go.

Twelve, I'm sorry we'll be putting you through this.
I love you. I love you so much.
I'll see you again. I promise I'll make it up to you.

We'll know what happens soon enough...
Wait for us, Estinien!!

[ AND HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS PHONE ON HIM. ]

[menphina]

[ HE'S GETTING TACKLED AFTER EVERYTHING IS DONE AND OVER WITH JUST HE WAIT. ]

[finalsteps]

[ JUST PUNCH HIM.




Also he answered Gaius’ texts so now he can answer hers. ]

I saw these far too late. My apologies.

Has G’raha been subdued? I took Alisaie as far as I could.

« Just going to voice call because phone tags and also gonna say she wants to hear him »

[menphina]

[ Ring ring!!! ]


Forgive me... I just wanted to hear your voice first.

[finalsteps]

[ picking up. ]

It’s okay. You’re okay. We’re okay.

[finalsteps]

[ Aymeric knows the answer to this question, and he's asking it just to get Estinien riled up or impatient one.

But he hardly has enough time to think, breathe, anything at the moment. He lets out a desperate groan and huffs into the bed sheets. How cruel his lover is when he's in charge like this. But it works for Aymeric, clearly. ]

More...not enough. More.

[ It comes out between gasps, and Estinien attempting to move with Aymeric. ]

[menphina]

I know.. but I'm so sorry. I know you were certain we'd strike, and we were, but then we didn't—

I didn't want you to blame yourself if anything happened...

[finalsteps]

Echidna intervened and both of us were spared. We should be counting our lucky stars.

[menphina]

Aye. I just...

[ She exhales. ]

I'm so glad you're you're safe. I didn't want you to suffer the thought of harming anyone like that again. I'm just so sorry. You all trusted us.

[finalsteps]

And I still trust you. Loathe as you may be to hear that.

[menphina]

I know you do...

[ Her voice is quieter. ]

That's what I love about you... I'm just glad you're safe.


[ She might fall silent for a spell. Is that sobbing in the distance... ]

Forgive me. I'll be alright.

[finalsteps]

[ NO AN EHSK??? NO CRYING? ]

I forgave you before you ever asked for it. What else can I do for you? Do you need to come over?

[peacetalks]

[that gets a growl from aymeric, and his hand holding estinien's moves to grab a fistful of his hair and tug it as he thrusts hard inside him, almost ramming into him, enough to leave a bruise on his ass later]

More?

[his pace moves quicker and quicker, harder and harder, giving estinien everything he's got, claws digging into estinien's hip as he grasps it]

[menphina]

I will- I'm- actually making something for you. For all of Bugbear. I thought it would be nice...


[ She sniffs and is trying to sound a little more cheerful. ]

You might have a whole party visiting at this rate, aye...? Wait for me?

[finalsteps]

Promise me you aren’t feeling guilty?

[menphina]

I'll get over it. I promise. I can't stop feeling it, so I know I've got to let it settle.


[ Back home she had other things to worry about to not linger, here it's a bit harder. ]

[finalsteps]

Don’t let yourself focus on it. We’re both alive.

[menphina]

I know.. but I'm not the only one feeling it. Moon is, too. And Aymeric... though the both of them are a lot better equipped to handle such difficult choices.


[ She. Isn't. Not by much anyway. Some she can- other times, like her and Alphinaud not giving up on Estinien even when he seemed doomed... or even allowing the Scions at Ultima Thule...

She sighs. ]

... That reminds me, Moon told me what "of the Oceans" meant. I can't believe he'll wed you before your own mates get to propose. Heh.

[finalsteps]

I know you aren’t, and I’ve told the three of you to stop sulking. I am angry only with myself, you three have nothing to do with it.

[ He has to start being more mindful. ]

I told you we deepened our bond, didn’t I?

[menphina]

Mmm. Perhaps my wish was heard— I only wanted for you to not be responsible for our deaths if it came.

I didn't want to put that burden on you and Gaius.


[ :( aibouuu. But onto a better topic... ]

You did tell me. He reacted to it so adorably when I teased. But do I have to challenge him to have you be Estinien of the Utakata as well or Aymeric have you as ... I do not know how Ishgardian unions work, exactly. Would you be Varlineau or de Borel?


[ She sounds so amused now. ]

[finalsteps]

How many titles should I have, dear? We should inquire with Aymeric what it would be like for either of us to wed him.

[ SNRK. ]
