[ her robo-fingers twitch at the compliment. ] Ah-hah. Well... My own schedule's kinda full for that, you know? [ that was such a poor excuse. Jen can feel the lameness exuding from every word. ] I wouldn't mind it every now and then. You would have to pay me back, of course!
-Satsuki was so lost in bliss she didnt notice the twitch at all. Even the lameness of Jen's excuse fell on deaf ears, for once. But she did give a small, keening whine.-
Can't you make more time for me? We don't get to hang out as much anymore... I want massages and hugs that aren't going to turn into suplexes. Suplays. That word.
Souffle? [ Jen chuckled at her joke but kept right on massaging. ]
I ... should. It's just tough since I've got this strict training schedule I'll start up soon, you know? Mom really wants me to make the best impression I can when I try out for the team in the fall.
[ to say the regimen was "strict" was underselling it. her whole day, save for a few hours and some breaks here and there, were planned out. from what she ate, and how many reps she did, to how many hours she could sleep. missing a few beats here there wasn't a big deal, but too much slacking and her mom would probably yank on her chain again.
everything is banking on Jen's success, and her mom has no patience for rogue elements. much as Jen hates to think of spending quality time with people as such. ]
Another reason to take up the pro graps. You're already living the dojo life. -Satsuki sighed, sitting up enough to look back at Jen over her shoulder, her own hair dusting over her face, and she really didn't care to wipe it away.-
I want to believe it's gonna be worth it, but I worry about you. I want you to be happy, more than I want you to be the star athlete everyone's trying to make you into.
[ Jen's as quick to try and wipe away that concern as she is to brush the hair from Satsuki's eyes. ] Don't worry about me. My future's in the cards, and all I've got to do is play the awesome hand I was dealt.
[ or work really hard to stack the deck in her favor. the plan may be her mother's to a large degree, but the ambition? that's her own. it might be her way to finally find the freedom she's never known. ] Besides. We can still have fun this summer!
-Satsuki took a moment to just find her smile, trying to have faith in the situation. Her worries wouldn't be dismissed that easily, but it was easy to at least try, seeing how Jen was smiling.-
Alright... I still need to give you a tour of the Mayship.
Oh yeah! I mean, I kind of remember it from afar but the "blank" me didn't really want to trust getting on it. [ another chuckle. she took this opportunity to pause, reach over, and get her glass for a quick sip. ]
I'd say it's a shame, but that just means I get to experience it myself for the first time for real.
They probably don't want you to try to cram everyone onboard and flee.
[ back to rubbing, but she didn't wipe off the droplets of condensation from her fingers before she did so. oops. ] Or take people skydiving. God, can you imagine?
I only play a pirate in the ring. -She let out another soft sound, melting into the bar.- Other me may have been a brazen criminal but I don't think I've got the chops for it.
Fair enough. But I'm pretty sure it's going to get to the point with me where I can do that kind of stuff without even needing a parachute. And if I want to jump from the Towers again without a parachute, it's not technically base-jumping and thus not technically illegal, right?
[ yeah Jen. really wants to do that again. maybe it was the worst way to get her name into people's minds when she got here but at the same time, 1) it worked, and 2) her mother got her out of trouble in the end so it wouldn't do permanent damage to her career.
all this talking and she's not quite paying attention to her hands drifting inward toward the sides of Satsuki's neck muscles. it's all so knotted up around here it's hard to tell where the problems begin and end. but those sounds? they're totally worth it. ]
-Satsuki let her head roll around in those comforting fingers, strength and tenderness sharing space in how they eased out all of her stress and the abuse she put her body through that night. A lot of nights.-
Well if I get the Mayship flying, you'll be the first to know. Or, I guess everyone on the beach will be the first, but eh. -Another long sigh, edge of a moan.-
You'd bett— ahh! [ that gasp came with Jen bumping right up against Satsuki in the chair as someone tried to squeeze past others at the bar and these two. okay, so Jen was technically kind of blocking the way and not paying attention but. wow, she did not need that right then and there.
or maybe she did. with a bit of a growl to her voice, she turned her head at the offending party who, to their credit, did pause to apologize. ] H-hey, watch out!
-Satsuki was lucky she didn't knock the drinks over as her chest suddenly bumped into the bar cushion, but... hmm. She... sure was just gonna let herself, uh. Lean back. Into Jen. Because that was a very comfortable cushion at the moment.
The other patron was quick to apologize, at least. Lost their balance trying to head to the bathroom. Also gave a shot out to Satsuki and complimented her on her match tonight. Huge fan.-
Hey, no problem... -Satsuki kind of murmured, sipping her drink, still very much in a comfortable place all of the sudden.-
[ wait, just how long was that going on? Jen let herself get too distracted by what was happening around her and not what was happening to her. she gave an awkward sort of laugh before rapping her fingers against Satsuki's shoulders. ] Ahh, having fun down there?
[ it's funny because there's no way she would be, right? hahaha! ha. ]
-Satsuki giggled, finishing off her drink.- You're turning me into a fun puddle. And I've found a bowl I fit into. -Namely, leaning against Jen's chest.-
