[There's a low hum and a light smile at the kiss, as if he had been waiting for it, before he returns it. As his hand slowly slides up her back, his eyes gleam a little.]

Just that?

Oh?

[She's only been human again for a minute, and he's already tempting her into his trap...]

Was there more that you wanted?

[What, can't he?]

If I said yes?

[Of course he can, but...

She gently nuzzles her nose against his.]

You'll have to tell me what it is.

Well...

[His voice drags a bit.]

I would like to be rewarded for my efforts. But I'm not sure you can really do what I have in mind here.

[There will be a slight buzz of his tail against hers, spreading that electric heat through it.]

[That shock earns a soft, surprised sound out of her, failing to stifle it despite her best efforts. There is a twitch of her tail, and she buries her face near his neck, hiding that flush in her cheeks from him.

After a couple or short, steadying breaths, she laughs.]

You're not going to tell me what that is either?

No.

[His voice is low against her ear.]

You'll have to figure it out.

Let's just hope I don't get it wrong.

[She turns to catch his lips one more time, this kiss a shy one. Testing...]

For now, I can find another way to reward you?

[There's just a hum of approval with the kiss.]

And what's that?

[She shrugs, playing up that thoughtful pause as if she really has no idea what that could be.]

Oh, I don't know. I could buy you something nice from the marketplace?

You could.

[And he'll just play along.]

But I might not feel satisfied.

Well then, we're either going to have to find somewhere where I can thank you properly, or you'll have to wait.

[A low hum as he eyes her with that wolfish gleam and slight smirk.]

I can wait. Can you?

[She'll feel a sudden jolt around her hips where their merfish halves are pressed against each other.]

[She gasps far louder than she means to, and she shivers far more violently than she thought she would. That jolt sends a sharp heat that ripples outward through her in a wave, invigorating and relaxing her every muscle and nerve all at the same time. And he will certainly feel it too, with how she suddenly presses up against him more firmly.]

Well, you make it really difficult when you do things like that... I'd call that cheating.

[Watching and listening to her reaction makes him want to do it again... And he wonders if he should learn to control his lightning to act similarly, but by his hands instead. What would she be like then, he wonders...]

Next question would be if you'd want to "thank me" as fish or if you'd want to return to the surface.

[Her hands shyly slide down his front, down his sides, and to where his skin meets his tail.]

What? Can't I do a little bit of both?

Think you can?

[Nails graze lightly over his skin and then back up his sides, and she buries her face into the crook of his neck, exhaling softly with a smile. Is it strange that she missed this in the time she was a bunny slug?]

Why not? You just have to let me.

[His eyes close briefly before his hands slide up around her hips.]

Do we need to move somewhere else?

We just got here. I think we can enjoy a little time here first, don't you?

[Just subtle touches, little brushes of her lips and kisses against his neck.]

I guess we could.

[He shifts subtly to give her more access, enjoying the feel of her touch and lips against his skin. It both had been not long and too long since he last felt this from her, and now his own hands will slowly run over her skin, as if to reacquaint himself. But he keeps his touches slow, deliberate.]

[Sometimes when one is a bunny slug and refused the ability to even hold her boyfriend's hand, one becomes desperate to make up for even that little bit of lost time.

She moves in, kissing him sweetly, smiling into it before murmuring against his lips.]

Thanks for taking such good care of me.

[He smiles against her, the heat softening to a sweeter warmth as he returns it with his own.]

Of course. You are, after all, my girlfriend.

... I think you should say that again.

[It makes her heart stutter and her chest warm, a heat spiking through her that surprises even her. Yet in spite of that, it also makes her heart feel full. Content. Happy...

Especially as she presses further against him, holding him tighter, drawing his lips back to hers for another kiss.]

I kinda like it when you do.

[And, funnily enough, likes when he watches over her and takes care of her. Even when she doesn't need protecting, it is nice to feel like there is someone who would.]

[He smiles against her lips as he looks at her through half-lidded eyes.]

What... Calling you my girlfriend?

[Though even as he says it, there's also something of a ticklish feeling as he says it. He's more used to it now, but... It is something he never would have found himself saying. It still invokes that warmth, that bit of joy, as well as a kind of excitement that comes with it.]
