The Wendigo Bar and Inn (Literate RP - Open)

[Ihes egia]

((Don't mind my silent lurking, ladies. XD))

[Rune Verloren]

"Mfmm...." Was the only response Vice gave, though while he downed a swig of the coffee he couldn't quite keep his eyes from straying down the neck of her top. She was the one getting so frigging close, dammit! It wasn't fair!

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

"You are so adorable when you're half awake, Vice. You want anything to munch on as well? An apple, maybe?" Seishi stood and walked back over to her coffee, slowly sipping it as she moved back to pick up a nearby pillow and sit down across from him, knowing he liked his space.

[Rune Verloren]

"Muh...?" He watched blearily as she went to sit across from him, then busied himself with his coffee again, now studiously trying to keep his gaze off of her as his senses gradually returned to him.
In the meantime, Korben reemerged from the kitchen, licking his chops and rather distinctly satisfied with his breakfast. Upon seeing his master awake he trotted over and licked Vice's cheek before flopping down next to him, tail beating the ground rhythmically. Yay people! People were the best!

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

Seishi watched as Korben trotted over to his master, a grin finding its way on to her face. "You two are so adorable. I haven't seen such a fantastic partnership in a while." she sipped at her coffee, glancing at Vice. "Did you sleep well? I'm sure there are some empty rooms in here for you to sleep instead of using the cushions."

[Rune Verloren]

"The cushions are comfortable enough...." Vice mumbled under his breathe, grateful that his dog had trotted over as it gave him something more wholesome to focus his attention on. He took another long sip of coffee and scratched Korben behind the ears, still studiously keeping his gaze off of Seishi.

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

Seishi huffed, rolling her eyes, "Seriously, Vice. You could have used my room at least. It's not like I'm going to kick you out instead of letting you get a good night's rest." she shook her head and finished off her coffee, standing to go get some more coffee. Stopping at the bar on her way back, she picked up another apple and walked back to her cushion, plopping down onto the pillow and stretched her legs out in front of her.

[Rune Verloren]

"Well if I used your room then neither of us would have gotten any sleep..." The words were out of his mouth before he had a chance to think about them, resulting in him immediately clapping a hand over his lips and then becoming immediately interested in drinking his coffee down as fast as physically possible, cheeks burning. Yeah, his brain-mouth filter got a little broken when he was this hungry.
Normally it wasn't exactly an issue, but then he usually tried not to be around people he actually knew personally when he needed to feed.

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

Her eyebrows raised as a deep blush appeared on her face and she looked at him from the corner of her eyes...then paused. "...you didn't go to feed last night, did you, Vice." Seishi fought hard not to chuckle as he floundered there, on the cushions. "I mean, I'm all for staying up all night, talking about girl things. Pillow fights, painting nails, and such but come on, I need sleep some time."

[Rune Verloren]

"Right.... nails...." Vice replied weakly, still attempting to drink a mug of coffee that he'd finished several gulps ago.
Korben, meanwhile, was entirely oblivious to his master's distress as well as his awkwardness and got up to grab him by the pant leg and tug on it. He wanted to play! And there were two people there! Everyone could play together and it would be the best thing in ever!

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

Chuckling softly, she knelt down next to Vice and carefully pried the mug out of his hands. "I'll get you some more, Vice." and patted Korben on the head before walking back into the kitchen to refill his coffee. As she was walking back out, she playfully nudged Korben with her hip.
"You know, Vice..." she started carefully, wondering what the best way was to approach this. Seishi paused, handing Vice the now full mug of coffee. "I..." she didn't want to alienate him, she knew she had to be careful with this. She was probably insane to even be thinking about bringing it up.
Seishi huffed and sat down next to him instead of across from him, where she had been, avoiding Korben's massive body as he tried to get his master to play.
Grumbling to herself, Seishi shook her head and looked down at her now lukewarm mug of coffee. This was too complicated.

[Rune Verloren]

"Mmhm..." He very pointedly forced himself to look at the ground while she took his mug from him, but wound up shooing Korben off of him. As much as it would be a welcome distraction, Vice didn't like the idea of running across a traveler outside. That would only lead him away from the bar, and then he'd be gone for at least a few days. That was too long to leave the place unprotected. And he wasn't really starving or anything.... he was just unused to having to repress his hunger. Sure, he'd been starved when he was with the coven, but well... the idea there had been to achieve this very effect. He'd never really needed to hide it, and since being free he'd never been in a situation that kept him from feeding.
When Seishi seemed to be having trouble formulating a sentence Vice tipped his head to the side curiously, though he seemed to be focusing his attention on a spot somewhere over her shoulder than directly on her. "You what?"
Just call him 'Mr. Oblivious'.

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

Seishi huffed and leaned back on her arms, looking over at him. ******** it. "I could...what did Rune call it before...well...hm..." she grumbled low and sat up, resting her chin on his shoulder for the moment. "I suck at this." she sighed before just sucking it up and going for it, "I could...be...your...feeding buddy...?"

[Rune Verloren]

"You... wha... I..." Vice was apparently having a hard time forming sentences at this point, especially because she was TOUCHING him. Oh not like that, sure, but he didn't need much of a push at this point. Very much trying to ignore the thrum of blood under her skin, Vice took a long moment to work his head around what she'd just said and formulate a response. "F-feeding... buddy? Like um... like mum does...?" Quite unconsciously, as he spoke Vice found himself nuzzling into Seishi's hair, his arm moving to her opposite side where his fingertips rested on her hip. Yep... it was the touching that did it.
Meanwhile, Korben seemed to have given up on coaxing his master into playing, and trudged somewhat dejectedly outside. Maybe there were squirrels to chase out there! At that thought all disappointment was lost and Korben trotted merrily out into the woods. He'd be fine - after all, he grew up out here. He knew his way back to the bar, and there was little in the forest that would tangle with the behemoth pup.

[Shizukesa no Seishi]

She blushed a bit and nodded. "I figured...it wouldn't be such a bad idea. I'm pretty resilient, you're familiar with me and we've known each other for a while..." Seishi was suddenly very aware of his scent, the feel of his life energy, but didn't move. She wasn't...scared, she just didn't want to startle him. Kind of like being around a larger predator without being a threat.
