Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sunstrike seemed to suddenly realize what he'd sounded like, but by then lips had already pressed against his, sealing off breath and protests. He felt about as awkward as someone that was on a first date, not knowing what to do with his hands at first, then trying not to think about how much clothing neither of them were wearing.

It was hard not to reply to a kiss like that, when someone just covers your mouth, you don't really have a choice in the matter. Gently he placed both hands against Shin's waist, just above the towel, which wasn't saying much, and enjoyed the tease for what it really was.

Absently he was still worried about going too far, but he trusted Shin, for what it was worth, and responded very gently in stark contrast to the elf's hunger.

Sunstrike made a soft needy noise when Shin pulled him up, and then froze, much like the elf had. There's nothing quite as off putting as a female voice in the middle of a heated make out session.

He was settled back in the water. However, he had a split second to get his revenge. Blocked from view of the door he actually put his hand against Shin's thigh and moved underneath the wet cloth in a casual grope, his red eyes sparkling because he knew, in his evil little heart, one thing.

Shin wouldn't be able to do anything in return.

It was just a quick squeeze before he leaned around the elfs tanned body to the woman at the door. Scooting away before Shin had time to do the same.

"My saviour!" And grinned at her sleepily, and any healer worth it's salt would know what the hot water did to him.

"Roisin," Sunstrike carefully pronounced the name, and smiled in return. The stark red of his eyes barely changed with thought, though the pronunciation was adequate even for a drunk person. "Pleasure to meet you!"

He placed one hand on the ledge, and pushed himself up standing practically over her and only slightly shaky as he held out a hand very casually. The purpling bruises that wrapped around his form marred his skin in an oddly marbled effect, though he seemed to be taking it in stride.

Only the upper thigh metal band gleamed out of the water, the skin tinged red and stretched where it was healing slowly. Something about getting out of the water must have woken him a little, because there was suddenly a tight edge around his eyes. Other then that, he seemed fine, grinning like a cat that had nicked a bottle of cream.

"Don't blame Shin too much for the water, I could have told him, but it felt nice, and I didn't want to spoil things."

Sunstrike looked at Shin as he stomped to his corner and blinked with a start as Roisin asked him to sit outside the pool of water.

"It should be okay!" He limped through, up the steps, and to the supplies, sitting himself downa little awkwardly and stretching his wounded leg out straight.

"No magic, right?"

Sunstrike tilted his head, slowly sobering up now that he wasn't completely waterlogged. He was poked and prodded in a sterile manner, but only his leg made him hiss in pain when she moved it.

"That always hurts...the muscles and tendons don't really know what to do with themselves yet." He was really worried they'd start to tighten up on him, but anything severe in the way of excersize wasn't that great with the stitches.

His shoulders slumped a little and he looked a little lost.

"Is there any way to get rid of the pain and not do more damage?"

Sunstrike made a soft sound in reply. When she first touched the skin it was painful, and he didn't trust himself to really speak until she'd finished, his breath catching every time the salve went on.

"Thank you very much, Roisin, I appreciate all the effort on my behalf." He smiled softly when he spoke, hands proping him up and towel covering any indecency.

"Any other orders, sweetness?"

Sun watched with growing facination as she pulled item after item out of her bag.

"Is there like a loop in space inside your bag or something?" He scooted closer to stick his nose in as she rummaged, curiosity practically radiating off of him.

"I get a goodie bag too, is basically what your saying...and oranges are nice, I don't have a problem with that."

Food wasn't a huge requirement for Sun, and he usually ended up eating just so other people didn't worry. But he'd take into consideration what the healer had said and try and remember to get it all down.

"When can I start training again?" He perked up. "If it feels okay would I be able to start today?" He was pushing his luck...and knew it. But he had to ask.

He saluted seriously and then grinned widely.

Inside something broke, even if he'd been expecting that answer...a week was a long time to wait, even longer if people were planning on getting things done in that amount of time. But even he knew that any damage done would mean a longer wait...time he just didn't have.

Sun flopped back on the stonework and looked upsidedown at Shin, waving a little. He hoped the elf wasn't feeling too excluded...he'd probably need his help a lot until things were sorted, and Sun wasn't sure he could handle all that angst if Shin decided to be insulted.
