Ahaha-- that? It's lavender. My soap has some in it.
[Look, he's more into the shea butter part of it, the lavender was just added by whoever thought the combo was a good idea. He hasn't had some strange reaction while using it so... mission accomplished?]
In any case, tea and pastries are served to butter you up for later.
[Shalem makes a soft noise in his throat that becomes a little laugh-- Leona's sudden advance caught him off guard, but he's not displeased with that. In fact, it's good and refreshing, having a partner so eager.
Shalem grabs hold of Leona's hips and opens his mouth slightly, flicking his tongue out against the man to ask for entrance.]
[ he heard what shalem wanted and is giving it to him. right? there was no indication of how he should go about it, and he doesn't find it very helpful to... play around too much before going in for one.
there's a time to be bashful (never) and a time to be forward (always).
so when he feels that tongue? he's more than happy to part his lips and greeting that tongue with his own. ]
[Oh, he appreciates straightforward partners so much. It allows Shalem so much more freedom, and peace of mind, because he doesn't need to worry so much-- Leona will let him know what he wants, what he's all right with, what he'd rather not deal with, without much prompting. Or at all, hopefully.
He smiles as he pulls the man flush against his body using the grip he has on Leona's hips. With this closeness, licking into the man's mouth is easier, less of a strain on his neck even if his nose is smushed right against his cheek.]
[ he's strong. leona knows that for certain as that tongue enters, that he probably couldn't wrestle or joust with it. that his grip is solid and firm and it causes his ears to flick as he lifts his chin a little and tries to give shalem the best angle possible.
and he doesn't waste time with reaching underneath the other's shirt, feeling the other guy up. he wants to know what he's working with.
and he's definitely finding him to be... a handful... ]
Tell me what you're thinking then. What are your... impressions? [And then he leans in closer, until their noses are almost touching again.] Do you like it?
[Aww, high praise, coming from an Aslan. Shalem has to chuckle, and can't help but raise his hands to Leona's cheeks and squish them.]
Take your time, if you'd truly love to find a word for it. But I already accept the compliment.
[He is, after all, well aware that his body tends to take people off guard once they see him in the nude for the first time. It's at odds with his pretty face.]
[ oh. his cheeks, hello? being treated like some kind of affection housecat... his pride is being tested. but he'll have to deal with it. after all, he's in shalem's residence. he should be a little more polite than usual. ]
Maybe once I get a taste, I'll have one for ya.
[ he'll just need to get shalem undressed. that's it. no shame in wanting to peel the snek's clothes off, right?
assuming he was wearing much in the first place but like you know. ]
Oh, all right. You insist on having something... So I'll give it to you. [That "something" being Shalem's body, of course.
He tugs his shirt up and over his head, briefly pausing to use the cloth to wring out some excess water from his hair before rolling it up and setting it aside. Then he beckons with both hands for Leona to come to him--
Or perhaps he's showing exactly what Leona's been wanting, which is to say, his body. Pale skin stretched over defined muscles, but not at all pristine. Shalem bears scars from various injuries, such as cuts, burns, bites, and his musculature is more for strength in combat rather than vanity.]
[ he decides to do the same, having no desire to be the only one clothed from the waist up. it's pretty easy for him to shed his shirt. and while he may not be as toned as shalem, by no means is leona lacking in that department. but he would definitely say when it comes to marks, to scars and wear and tear, shalem has that in spades. ]
Damn. 'xactly what kinda work do ya do?
[ after tracing a few scars with his fingertips, he kneels down slightly to give one of them a kiss, lips touching and dipping onto a few others as well. ]
The world I live in is... quite the dangerous one, but someone has to go out there to help others. [It's not exactly a proper answer, is it? Though he's not completely evading the question-- this may not be his job title, but it is is job description.
Shalem takes Leona's hands into his own, giving each one a kiss on the palm. If Leona wants to give his body kisses, that's fine, but Shalem wants to do the same.]
[ oh. ticklish. but while leona's got that one scar on his face, the only thing evident of the tireless amount of work he put into crafting his magical skills are on his palms. how rough they are in comparison to the rest of him. ]
Then... I hope you can help me out with somethin'. Can't say it's too dangerous.
[Shalem is fairly sure he knows what Leona is doing... and now he's deciding whether or not to let it continue, or stop him so they can do something else. Decisions, decisions.
[ he's stubborn in that he doesn't want to say it outright, but with that unfortunate craving that's been annoying him? the diamond shaped marking on his collarbone is definitely prominent and almost glowing with need. ]
[ he shivers upon the touch of shalem's words and breath against his ear. that he nods, albeit with a frown, deciding to stand back up as he lets out a sigh. ]
Fine, fine. We can go to that matin' place if ya want.
[ it's mating season. proper noun. but mating happens there too... ]
[Shalem puts an arm around Leona's shoulders. At first, this may seem like he's being companionable... but he's actually preparing to pick the lion up, bridal-style.]
We're in my suite, the bedroom is just steps away.
[ he's so used to living in a smaller, one room apartment...
and when he's lifted up, leona's shocked still. no objections to being in shalem's arms. is this what it's like? he imagined that some of the royal guard could do this to him, but. ]
I... yeah. Okay.
[ how can he refuse. he's literally being bridal carried. ]
[Shalem smiles bright, as if he didn't just pick a lion up with little effort.
Even with his arms occupied with a body, he still opens the door to his bedroom by turning his body just a little to the side so his tail can curl around the lever handle and tug. That was one of the first things he did around this place, change all the knobs so the doors would be more accessible to him, and it's paying off. He can easily deposit Leona onto his bed with no issue, and smile down at him.]
