[Action]
[Lacus is no stranger to cabin fever, given that space travel can be rather claustrophobic. Being forced to bed by injuries, however, could not be more different. She still has limited energy, and so she permits herself only a few essential errands. A blue winter scarf, Sougo's Christmas gift, is loosely around her neck to cover the healing wounds where Spike bit her several days ago.]

[Errands done and Lacus carrying her bag of groceries and other assorted things, she finds herself wandering. When she's not at peace internally she finds herself seeking places that she finds calming: the koi pond, the beach, the butterfly pavilion, random pathways in between which she walks in no particular hurry. She wouldn't mind company...]

[As if sensing so, her pink haro bounds ahead, finding the nearest person and addressing them excitedly as he bounces in place.]

Hello, hello! Friend!

((OOC: Find her at any of the places mentioned or walking with her haro through the sectors! Anyone who can notice by supernatural means that she's been bitten by a vampire is free to do so.))

[Action | closed to Sougo, image link is slightly NSFW-ish]
[She's a little tired having spent a few hours out and still lacking her usual energy, but a promise is a promise. Sougo has been wonderful to her and the least she can do is make him smile. Even if the things he asked her to get confuse her.]

[Her outing was timed well, and she's back and changed before he gets home from patrolling. As soon as he enters their apartment, a smiling Lacus approaches him wearing -- well. What the Plush Rump thinks is a kitty outfit. It's not as though there were a lot of options for costumes when the Wardens aren't planning a holiday, and he said he wanted kitty ears!]

[She does a full turn so Sougo can get a good look at her.] Do you like it?

	[Sougo nods, looking up at her.] Yeah, I don't want to be alone. [He has one more look at her with that outfit on.] I guess you do have to change eventually, huh. [And a playful wink!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's good to know he approves, at least!] I said I was changing, not throwing it away. All you have to do is ask.

[She turns and vanishes into her room, tail swaying all the way, and emerges a few moments later wearing a tank top and shorts with a strawberry pattern.] Where did you want to rest? [The sofa was fine before, and he probably still isn't comfortable sharing a bed, she imagines.]

	[He makes himself comfortable on the couch, and takes a pillow to hug.] I know you've already done a lot for me tonight, but can I have a back rub? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-06 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	[An easy smile, of course he can. If he asked her to fly she would throw herself into the attempt. Anything to ease the pain she caused.] [Lacus moves to sit at a good angle for backrubbing and places her hands on his shoulders.] I wouldn't mind at all. You just relax. -- Should I still be calling you "Master"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-06 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Relax he will, as best as he can. He won't let the inner turmoil he feels get the best of him.] Nah. It's okay. You're out of costume, so the show is over for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For now. [No chance she's done doing that act, since it made him smile. For that matter, she's not going to take his quasi-relaxing as a victory. Sougo needs to rest.]

[While she massages his back, Lacus starts softly singing, a song with lyrics in a made up language so as to draw his attention to her voice and not the words.]

[The last time she sang this song was for Neil. She's a little surprised that the memory doesn't sting as it used to.]

	[He lies still as he listens to her sing for a short while.] One more thing. [He hated to interrupt a moment like this, but he felt it was necessary.] Thanks for always being considerate of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-07 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Considerate? [The word seems strangely specific, and makes her think she's not quite gathering his meaning.] How do you mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-07 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	[He traces circles on the couch with a finger.] Even when I'm being a sadistic dickhead, you don't make me feel like a useless weirdass piece of shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Though what he's saying upsets her and makes her want to reassure him that he isn't any of those things, Sougo's feelings are deeper than generic platitudes can reach.]

I know how difficult it is for you to show people the side of you that I see. Sometimes even I don't understand the things you say and do, but the person I see in you is caring and wonderful. It hurts me to hear that you think such terrible things about yourself.

[She stops rubbing his back and slips her arms around his shoulders for a hug.] You're not any of those things to me. You're not perfect, but neither am I, nor anyone. But you make me smile when I feel like it's impossible and you watch out for me when I forget to. You're my Sougo. I wouldn't want you to be any other way.

	[Aw. That warms his heart.] Thanks Lacus. [He smiles, his cheeks slightly flushed.] Every time I think you've already said the nicest thing I've ever heard, you somehow top it. Always topping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-07 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	[His response makes her smile as she pulls away and resumes his back rub.] That's what I do. I like when you tell me what's on your mind, even if it's a little sad sometimes. Whenever you're honest with me I feel very happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-07 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	You should be careful, though. [He snickers.] If you keep spoiling me, I might become more rotten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-07 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Then I will put you back in line. [She says that with absurd cheerfulness.] In the meantime, I reserve every right to spoil you as much as possible. I'll have to be sneaky about finding out what you want so I can surprise you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-07 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	[Her response amuses him.] That's fine. I'm okay with that. Like I'd ever protest being spoiled for any reason. [That would just be silly of him!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-07 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Good. [Things are much easier when people cooperate and let her do her thing.] Are you calm enough to rest now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-08 12:06 am UTC (link)
	[There's no question about that! He doesn't hesitate to nod.] Mm, yeah. [His eyes close, and he reaches to touch her hand for a quick pat.] I definitely am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lacus smiles and reclines backward, pulling a blanket from the back of the sofa and curling up toward one armrest. Once she's settles she tugs on his sleeve, as if to say get down here, you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-08 12:41 am UTC (link)
	[--Ah! He looks at her and moves on over! There's a dramatic sigh.] Right, right -- I was about to do that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well good, because she's in full-on Snuggle Mode. Lacus spends a second fussing with the blanket to make sure it's over them both before she physically drapes Sougo's arm over her and settles against him.]

Is that comfortable? [It's only half a question, because she yawns and will be asleep quickly. She sleeps best when she's warm and safe with someone she cares about.]

	[As much as he liked to claim he had a cold, black heart, she was most certainly good at warming it up. It was a little embarrassing, but he couldn't deny himself of the comfort he was getting.] This is fine. Don't worry about it too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-09-08 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. [She won't, and takes that as implicit permission to snuggle closer and make a little sound of contentment.] Good night, Sougo. Wake me when you want breakfast. [her eyes close and her fingers curl up loosely clutching his shirt.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
