Welcome to Gaia! ::

She nodded, a blush starting to form on her cheeks. "mm-huh. Something like that. The place it's being performed, they like to do things the old fashioned way. Keep theatre outings a special event. Long formal dresses and dress coats & suits and that sort of thing." Thinking of Keme all decked out to the hilt had her blushing again, and Relm stared at her hands.

Giggling Relm snuggled closer, pulling her legs up beside her on the swing as she lightly petted Keme's knee & thigh below his shorts. "I'm not partial to shopping for clothes either. I... Guess it will be interesting figuring out what I want to wear too." Espers but she felt like some innocent school girl right now. Especially if her blush was any indication. "I've... never had reason to get dressed up before. Locke & -well I forget who was with him then- but when Celes sang for that Maria in the opera to get to Setzer's airship... well that was before I joined them. Painted in Jidoor, but well, I was painting... didn't have to get fancy..." She laughed at her nervous rambling, shivering in excitement. This would be exciting enough as it was, but... would it be something Keme would want to act on from? Not that it mattered... but...

Well all she could do was set the stage. All improvisation after that.

Relm purred softly, soft enough she could still hear him hum. Espers, but she loved that about him. She smiled softly, trying to recreate the past in her mind once more and still not being able to discover a specific moment when Keme shifted from friend into the one she loved within her heart. It had been so subtle... Relm had not even noticed it had happened. And yet the basis for it could probably be traced back to the end of the night they had met. The hints of what could be there, when she had bared her soul and cried to him. Perhaps something in her had known to trust him...

On the other side of the house, closing in from a distance, came the unmistakable sound of Rikku's hovercycle slicing through the air on the way to Moochi's house. The sound faded as the cycle slowed, then was turned off. Only to be replaced a moment later by a loud and excited cry.

"Ruuuuuuuuttttoooooo!!!!" This was followed moments after by a slightly more restrained but no less excited. "Nartuto!" from the Relm FTC. Wincing even as she giggled, Relm could almost see the henna marked Relm attempting to contain her excitement as she hopped from the cycle after the Al Bhed audio. "Espers... I hope Morgy's finished being upset at them... And... can we just stay back here?" Meaningfully the audio Relm snuggled into her beau's side.

Even though she could not see it, Relm could imagine the blinking shock on her sister's face & giggled. No... the idea that anyone might be sleeping that could not sleep through a world disaster had never occurred to the blonde Al Bhed. Nor -though they knew better- would either of the Relms have bothered to take precautions against it. Nearly everyone in their household slept nights & woke up early, or had long ago gotten accustomed to the many hyper morning-ers in the family. Of course they had the option to stay in their magical rooms if they did not wish to be bothered. Not that they shielded well from noises. Well, from outside the rooms to inside anyway. Inside to outside -yes. After all... there were still members of the family that were not part of the adult conspiracy yet. Mentally or otherwise. Actually, Relm was glad of that. Feeling as she did would have been much more difficult actually hearing Naruto & Rikku when the shinobi was over. Or the pairs of Seifers & Runes. She was sure Trelweny felt the same way. To an extent.

"What the vilg are you doing still sleeping so late anyway!" Rikku yelled after the retreating antennae-boy before grinning at Morgana as if he had never been there. "Hi Morgy! Caught wind Relm here wanted to come by and of course I'd not pass up a chance to come too..." The feather tailed Relm was laughing silently. "Missed riding over with audio me. Hovercycle's faster than Timex anyway & knew Rikku'd be more than willing to come." Her green eyes danced merrily. Rikku stuck her tongue out at the Relm. "So how've you been, Morgy?"

Still giggling Relm audio kissed at the white fur on Keme's chest, twisting over the hand now still & resting on his bare thigh below his shorts' hem. "Let's hope they don't need us for a while..."

Relm continued to kiss the soft white fur, giggling softly as it tickled her nose. "They've between them helped beat Sin & Kefka. Not that they'd fight anyone here but I doubt they're afraid." The audio Relm herself certainly did not seem worried, still purring, tail starting to wag.

Which pretty much summed it up. The girls out front were laughing, even as Rikku stuck out her tongue in the direction of the door slam. Whether it occurred to her or not was never a thought to the cheerful Al Bhed. Nor did the insult seem to phase her. This Laharl was much less fun to get riled up than any of the Seifers. Ran away... no chance to see him go through great facial expressions as he tried not to fight them or while yelling at them or anything like that. If the FTC could have heard her thoughts she would have to agree. "Well I can see how a destroyed house would be no fun..." Relm intoned in a playful manner as she followed with light steps behind the bouncing Rikku as they were ushered in. Of course Rikku stopped bouncing when she saw her Naruto and fairly dived at him. The feather tailed female was more controlled, smiling with dancing eyes until catching her Naruto's eyes before making a more loverly move towards him.

Rikku gave a happy squeak and proceeded through her kiss to show Naruto just how glad she was to see him as best she could in the presence of others. Relm, through will power alone, kept her return kiss on the chaste side while still being faithful to her happiness and excitement. Not to say there was not passion in her kiss as well... it was simply more controlled.

On the swing Relm nodded softly. She could say nothing about anyone being called a brat having been called that more than a few times herself. It came with the territory of not fitting in, and she wondered if perhaps Laharl felt he did not fit in too. It seemed oddly familiar. A brat wielding insults. His were perhaps more insulting and harsh than her own way of giving nicknames others might not like... but there did seem to be a similarity. She sighed softly, the white fur of Keme's chest shifting in the mini-breeze her breath created. "He's probably lonely..." Relm murmured softly before kissing Keme's adam's apple tenderly.

You know... sometimes Relm wondered if her beau was just saintlike in his ability to turn off his body or if he just did not notice some of her touches or kisses. Of course she was not trying to seduce him... but each touch and kiss she gave Keme had her that much more excited. But with no reaction... Relm wondered if setting the stage would be enough or if she really would have to resort to seducing the hummingbird male. And if she did... would it work at all?

"Mmm... A prince? Too bad he can't take the route Zell's princess friend did and hire someone to protect him & get company that way." She chuckled softly into his fur, this time kissing the lump on his throat with a bit more intensity. "We Relms have a bit of a bet going on about that relationship. The Zells of course are in the dark about it..."

Espers!!! What did she have to do to entice him to kiss her? Throw herself at him like Rikku?

Damn it!!! Espers! Is it too much to ask to get a kiss or something without interruption? Her purr halted & her tail fell instantly, but that was all that showed the little actress' disappointment. She leaned up a bit to look at the blue male with a pleasant smile. So this was Ryu? Funny... he did not seem anything like how she had heard her feather tailed self or the equivalent Seifer talk of him. Relm was expecting something more like the surfer Gwen, but without the previous promiscuity & burnt out mentality. Sighing, her own head turned to see behind them, Relm rested her head on Keme's shoulder. Yes, she was upset to still be without a kiss she sorely wanted but she was still both concerned & curious. Things did not seem to match up. And Keme was clearly worried. That alone saddened her.
