"I probably am as un-modest as you can get, darlin. Not trying to sound full of myself, but I like being naked, I think my arse, I like my cock. Doesn't mean I'm going to run around, showing it off to just anyone... don't want to be arrested for it. But, if it's someone I'm close to, such as yourself, I have no problem being on display. We're all fucking naked under our clothes, and you've seen me naked enough." Eden had been seeing him in the buff, as often as he had seen himself. "Besides, I find that if you take the plunge, others will follow," He gestured in her direction, as she too had already began to slip out of her dress, and swimsuit. Being naked was like a chain reaction. Like a yawn. If one person did it, others would follow. "Fucking right we do... Jesus, I can't tell you how good this feels. I always wanted to go to Asia, and get into one of those springs that are the size of a fucking pond. Imagine being in one of those, with fucking snow on the ground, the contrast of it." The extremes meeting was always one of the most tantalizing things in his opinion, and Shannon was one he had always enjoyed pushing himself to experience things that most people never would dare do. Placing themselves at risk. No, soaking in a hot spring wasn't dangerous, but stripping naked in the snow before hand was. His arm came down around her shoulders, draping onto the front of his body, his fingers trailing lightly over the top slopes of her breast. Smiling, he laughed softly, "That's what the hot tubs supposed to be, but it doesn't compare. I won't complain about it, because it's fucking nice when I've been laid out on concrete all bloody day, and me backs killing me something terrible." Leaning down, he nuzzled his nose against her check, before kissing her. His hand pressed lightly against her throat, urging her head to tilt back, so that he could place his lips to hers.
"You know this all has to stand for something... all these faces, and the water." Nothing was ever as simple as a pretty fountain, and decorative touches. Since becoming a were, her whole world had opened up in ways she wouldn't have before expected. It wasn't just about shifting during the full moon, it was about discovering just how extensively the world had been touched by supernaturals. All those religions, they had been based on something that humans couldn't explain, but they marveled at. So many theories pointed at the presence of these gods actually being the presence of their kind. Juniper believed there was something to that, and the more ancient the text, the structure, whatever... the more likely you were to find evidence of the more than humans. Back then, people didn't ignore the unusual like they did now. Granted, it made life easier, you could hide in plain sight, because most everyone wasn't looking for you, they knew you didn't exist. This fountain, who was to say that it hadn't been built to represent a water sprite, or something like that? This place had to be crawling with water creatures. "Oh my god... this is too much!" Placing her hands around the edge of the ledge, she pulled herself back up, turning so that she was sitting, facing the slowly spilling water. Still her legs were extended under the gentle spray. "It's not so bad here, it's not as cold." It still wasn't something she could tolerate for long. The girl was hot blooded, and she didn't take to the cold like some people. Shaking her feet free from the water, she turned to face him, draping on leg over his lap, while the other hung over the ledge of the cliff, before she pulled herself close. "I like being called Highness. It's fitting, isn't it? I am a fucking princess after all." It would seem that Shannon wasn't the only one that lacked modesty, anyone walking past would get an eye full of those long legs of hers.
