That thing between Nadia and Jade.

[Anzu Minea]

He loved her, and by saying no maybe it confirmed just how greatly.

"Shhh, Jade... Shhh..." She tugged one of his arms off from around her back, letting go of him as she moved his hand up to cup the side of her throat gently. She held it there as she let the rest of his forearm press against the bare skin of her chest.

"I'm yours now." Nadia whispered, leaning to place a short, chaste kiss on his lips, letting them touch forehead-to-forehead again as if to keep his lips away once she broke it. "We don't fit if you're afraid or uncomfortable, but I can wait; I'm right here now and I will be when you're ready. And..." Here she paused, but only briefly. "And I'll be here when you're tired and confused, and I can wait right in this very room whenever you're injured so I can worry about you like a lovesick fool." As she spoke with their faces still so close together, Nadia would be changing how she was sitting again. She had to half-stand to do it, but would soon enough be sitting on her knees just in front of him. She was still holding that hand and arm to her though, turning it palm-up as she pulled it from her neck in the end, placing a kiss just in the centre before opening her eyes again.

"So don't worry... You go back and check on Josie, and I'll go and clean myself up." As if on cue Nadia was aware of how long it had been since she'd been able to bathe properly, and was slightly revolted by it. Nevermind her body's need for food right now, or the pleasant ache she felt for his touch, she needed to get the tearstains off her face and brush her hair!

"Do you... need help to stand?"  

[Torment]

The confusion and regret slowly left his eyes as he nodded, "We will wait. I should not take very long as Josie will mainly need time to heal on her own unless she requires Augmentations. I will be back for you. I love you, my Nadya." He began to shift his weight but did not yet try to stand, "As for standing... I do not believe I will do that in this room. I am at least seven inches taller than I had been, accounting for adjustments for the increased mass of my skeletal system. Please, Nadya, close your eyes." And there was indeed a reason to ask this of her, as once she did his body would peel away from his bones in a manner that might seem simply gruesome from the vague colors of red that were infiltrating his body. He was becoming more human. A taller one too. Once his flesh peeled away from the crystalline bone his bone would disappear with a flash and Jade would disperse into a cloud. His gaseous body rushed over her, caressing her naked body in a vague memory of their first coupling before he would be gone.

The memory certainly wasn't vague, but Nadia was left smilling with the promise he left her before she finally made herself stand up- closing and tying off the robe around her again. This would be the first time she'd actually notice the crystals shattered across the ground, nearly having stepped on one with her bare feet before she stopped.

Nadia would spend a few minutes quietly looking over and picking through the broken bits of jade on the floor. Most of it was unrecognizable, but there were still some things she recognized. This one held a bow that looked like Terra's, that one wore Allan's fedora. She even found one that looked like herself, flying on the air like skaters do across ice although one've the arms and the head had been blasted off with the temperature change. She pocketed that one, and then took out one've her water sutra, gathering a bit of cold shadows from the still chilly room.

When Nadia finally left, opening a door down to the surface where there was moonlight and a cool lagoon to bathe in, she left a small shadow-shrouded miniature on one've the now empty shelves in Jade's room. She could turn darkness into cloth, not stone or crystal, so in the middle of the whispering black there was a small figure of ice. The shadows would keep it from melting even after the temperature was brought back up to a normal level.

...and they flicked open only a moment later.

His hands twitched ever so slightly before he shifted slightly to embrace her as he shook his head, "This body is not yet fatigued from its daily activities. I am running at much too high of an operating capacity." He paused as he looked to her, "And we never did examine the functionality of some of my more recent additions."

((Its almost as bad as a porno setup. XD))

((And this is worse because obviously amorphus blob sex has never found it's way onto the internet XD))

"A few minutes ago you looked half-starved and brittle," Nadia argued, but her voice was more like a purr as she crept over him a little bit more, her hands on either side of him as she'd give him another deep but teasingly short kiss. From YCFRP 374
