"Alright, if you wish." Zahara had been entirely too focused on getting him clean and ridding him of the worm innards and skin to realize that he was highly aroused by her actions with his ears. She blinked at bit as he had trouble with his words and shook her head. "It's difficult for me to what with this. Hard to reach some places if you know what I mean." But she slipped back into the water and began once again wetting her hands and soaping them up then using them to run over her breasts and arms, as well as the area beneath her breasts then carefully over her pregnant stomach. She paid careful attention that area as that was where a lot of the sticky stuff had gone. Dipping under the water to wash off the soap she waded back to the bank and hefted herself up again. There was no way she was going to be able to wash her lower body as pregnant as she was and in the water to boot. Thus one slender leg raised up and she scrubbed it down, washing between each and every toe before repeating the process with the other. "Would you help me?" Because it really wasn't comfortable to sit there like that, put strain on the baby and her back.

He shook his head as if to clear it again once her hands had left his ears. Whew...damn ears. They were going to be his downfall, he was sure of that one. Would have to find a way to fix that or get used to it or something...though merely touching his ears wouldn't work...he touched them all the time and never reacted that way...only when she touched them. But he had taken to his hair as she had taken to herself, unbraiding it and dipping his head under a moment to get it wet. Damn goo...he hated worms for that reason.
Though his attention was caught again by her with her request. For a moment he just blinked at her. "Um...sure..." Right he could handle that one. He'd just be careful of where hands went and what not...didn't want her getting pissed at him or anything. Thus the makeshift washcloth she was using earlier was grabbed and soaped up again before he moved to her and took to washing where it was hard for her to reach, which was pretty much everything from hips down, brushing the cloth down her legs and back up the backs, her inner thighs and the slight underside to her stomach. Of course being horribly careful that he didn't touch in a way that would set her off in negative fashion on him.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time to ask him for help, really it had. A few moments later when her wish was granted she wasn't so sure. Oh he was doing a marvelous job, too well for words really but the effect of his fingers on her bare skin was devastating. It was so tempting to just slide in the water and mosey on up to him and take this to the next level, but she knew better. Sevilin woudn't appreciate that anymore than she woud when rational thought chose to intrude. But by Eili how much was a woman supposed to take? His fingers were highly talented what with all the knowledge they had from his previous life and his painstaking training as a rune mage and everytime they brushed she had to bite her lip, tongue or inside of her cheek to keep from moaning or whimpering. A few times he caught her off guard, particularly the first time and a white hot bolt of sensation shot straight through her and she moaned then reached out and clutched his shoulders to steady herself. Taking a few deep breaths and blushing clear to the roots of her hair she shook her head. "...sorry...we...umm...back..." One hand raised to slap lightly at her shoulder gesticulating since articulating was too much for her to handle. "Hair too..."

He looked back up to her eyes as she gave a noise that spoke of feeling wonderfully good before she grabbed his shoudlers and he tensed a little. He studied her a moment as she stumbled over her words and it didn't take too much for him to clue in, making him drop his eyes. "Sorry..." Though he werely turned to the task at hand and gently pulled her into the water and turning her around, taking care to wash the back of her body before taking to washing her hair, working his fingers through her hair to loosen the goo. "Need to rinse..."
He wasn't going to just dunk her...that would be mean. Though he was finding this an oddly satisfying moment...calm and innocent almost. He wasn't quite sure what to think, so he merely focused on the task at hand.

"Don't be sorry, Sevilin, you didnt' do anything wrong." Wait was that concise and well thought out sentence? Hmm perhaps she had retained some method of rational thought within this whole thing. She felt herself gently tugged into the water and there she stood, while he washed her back and her body once again betrayed her. It felt entirely too good to have his fingers both on her skin and in her hair and the times he brushed her ears well it was back to that gesticulate stage. She was almost positive she made the whimpering sound in the back of her throat and she could feel the knot of sexual tension tighten in her body. Hormonal overload and now sexual frustration would be added, joy. She took a moment to process what he was telling her and then very slowly dipped under the water to rinse the soap off her skin, using her hands to run along her body just to make sure she got it all. "Thanks...I needed that." And a lot more but you won't provide the rest so why upset you by asking? Now where had that thought come from? SHe dind't want to know, instead she glanced up and locked gazes with him. Her own probably mirrored his what with banked fires and pleasurable gleams but there was hesitancy and uncertainty there as well.

He knew a woman's body, knew the subtle shifts and changes, the little bits of tensing, the sounds being help back and slipping through. Oh yes, he knew exactly what was going on with her, he wasn't stupid. This wasn't the first pregnant woman he'd been around and even they craved certain things. Some were fiends about it. A little nod though, his own hair forgotten. "You're welcome..." Nothing really more to say.
Though he was brough was again into a locked stare with her, watching things flit in her eyes and say the things that she would never say herself for whatever reason. A hand came up and rested gently on her shoulder, a little rubbing motion to perhaps soothe something within her. His hand moved to her jaw, lightly taking hold of her chin and turned her head from one side to the other, apparently checking her over, his hand then moving to brush through her hair and make sure the goo was out, or at least that was the pretense. Who knew what was going on in that head of his.

He was a godsend really in so many ways. The tension coiled deep inside her wasn't released but was soothed, at least for the moment by his gently touch. Resisting the urge to rest her cheek against his hand was hard but she managed. Then he took ahold of her chin lightly and she thought for the most fleeting of moments that he was going to kiss her and prepared herself for it. When the brush of his lips didn't come she refused to admit she was disappointed. Unfortunately her eyes missed that memo because they broadcasted it rather clearly. She let him look his fill, take measure, whatever it was he was doing and she just tilted her head back and looked up at him. The next logical step would be to get out of the pool so she lightly pulled away before she did something stupid and waded back to the bank. Attempting to hoist herself up had her arms shaking and she dropped back into the water. Clearly she was not in the state where that was a doable action. Thus turning back to Sevilin with the 'help' message written in her eyes.

His own eyes reflected the slight confusion as her own gave off a disappointed air. Though it seemed no retribution came from her disappointment but he felt something was off and she pulled away from him and he sighed as she started the motions of getting out of the water...though wasn't quite able to make it and looked back to him for help.
Wading over to her, he lifted her into his arms bride style and got up out of the water with her in his hold, setting her to her feet before grabbing his cloak that was the makeshift towel and draped it over her shoulders, patting lightly over it over her body to help dry her some, though he kept one hand on her waist to keep her steady. " We'll have to find you a change of clothes or wash your old ones and let them dry. Need anything else?" Trying to be casual in a situation that seemed just odd.

Oh good, he was helping. Though she'd been planning on just having him lift her out of the water by her arms not necessarily pick her up. That just reminded her how caring he could be and made their tentative relationship that much harder to handle. What was going on between them anyway? She was chalking it up to being pregnant since she didn't know what else it could be. Nodding she pulled the cloak off her shoulders then used it to dry herself before handing it off to him since he needed to be dry as well. "Nym, come on out." Couldn't forget about the ferret after all. She crossed her arms over her breasts and swallowed. "Just give me something else to wear for now and I'll wash my clothes and let them dry in a little bit."

He merely too the cloak, used it to dry himself rather quickly and then grabbed up his pants, pulling them on so he was at least somewhat covered. Then he disappeared for a moment and came back, handing her a shirt and pair of pants. He was smart enough to bring some things with him, just in case. "Here...you should be able to cinch them enough so that they won't fall off." Was this suddenly awkward? Not to mention that she had seemed to become rather...well cold to him. A sigh on his part, he had never claimed to understand women.

She took the clothes from him and frowned lightly. A lot more fabric than she was used to wearing but she pulled the shirt on first and then the pants. Rolling them up made it a little better and she cinched them tight enough beneath her puffed out belly that they would at least somewhat stay up. The shirt she left free since it made more sense and she didn't like feeling that enclosed. "Well...thanks. For everything...even if I didn't tell you before, I am grateful that you came to help." A shake of her head a moment before picking up her clothes and walking over to the pool, kneeling down and starting to scrub out her clothes. "I know I've been far more difficult than usual Sevilin and I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to deal with that every time you try to help or do something for me..."

He merely shrugged lightly. "It's expected...and I've handled a lot worse. Your...outbursts...are perhaps a walk in the park compared to some of the things I've dealt with. You're not making my life miserable or anything." He just watched her a moment, attention turning breifly to the ferret who had climbed out and shook off, now grooming himself, before red eyes turned back to her. "It's underdstandable that you don't want me around, making you feel like you need me for whatever reason. You're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself, I know that. As the teachings of Cafell go...well they were right about men being useless after that whole conception phase."

"That's not true! Men are useful for a lot of things, women are just too stubborn to ask or take advantage of those things." And here she should take her own advice but that hadn't occurred to her just yet. "A man can offer protection and comfort that's hard to get elsewhere. And most are too stubborn to take it even though it's plain to see that you're bigger and stronger than we are. If enough of you were to fight against us in that society, it wouldn't be the way it is anymore." But that was wishful thinking now wasn't it? Because the truth was, even fighting would get them nowhere. After all, they had a goddess to back them up and plenty of magic and weapons as well as the cruelty to use them in new and excruciating ways. "But what it boils down to is this. If a woman needs something, sometimes only a man can fulfill that need and she needs to not be afraid to ask..." trailing off she realized just what she was saying and that she probably needed to take her own advice. "You're right, I don't need you, but I do want you..."

He blinked as she apparently took a defensive stance for his gender, backing up what she initially blurted out. And she did have her little points that made sense. Though his mind wanted to disagree with her and put himself back in his place, but a little sliver wanted to listen to her. But he shook his head. "No, it would be the same. It's a vicious cylce of subconcious codependency...you often refer to me letting my old life lead my apparent new one. And you're right...I'm dependent on it because I just..." Didn't know anything else...but he was making strides. Or at least he though he was.
Though he tilted his head at her on her statement. "You....want to need me?" That was an odd statement for him to hear...not really sure what she meant by that. Yeah he was a little confused.

"Perhaps for a while but you can learn to not react the same to things, to change the way you think and feel about certain things." She should know, she'd done it. Look she had actually befriended a surface elf and then gone to Andal and befriended even more. "Just because you were forced to be one way doesn't mean you have to stay that way. Of course after a long history of the same pattern it becomes almost ingrained but after a while you can change it, alter it to suit your own whims and desires. We don't have to be cruel and we don't have to fear what we want most..." Though she still did. "I know it's hard, I still do but it can be changed. I really believe that." Slanting him a look she had to smile, he was so cute when he got confused. "In a way. I don't have to depend on you because I can take care of myself. There are favors I ask of you and whatnot, soemtimes because of my pregnancy and other times because of another situation. But through it all I talk to you and I come around you because I want to be around you not out of some misguided sense of dependency or need. I want to be able to come to you when I've had a bad reverie and I'm scared to death to go back under. Or when I feel lost and alone and I just need someone to...hold me.." Quite the soul baring moment, wasn't it? "I want to be able to talk to you and know that you value my opinion as much as I value yours and that you are willing to take things I say to heart. I want to do all the same things for you that I'm asking you do fo rme." Her voice had steadily gotten more and more quiet as she revealed more and she'd begun to fidget not really comfortable with showing herself this vulnerable. He could lash out at her and destroy everything they'd built. He could easily reject her, in fact that's what she half expected him to do in light of the recent events and her own less than savory past.
