The ifrit was none too happy with getting fire water in his eye. Like a child, he began to futilely rub his eyes. It wasn't until the lamis guided him to to his couch and laid him to rinse the alcohol out of his peepers. But that wasn't before hissing some kind of gibberish and meekishly pawing the snake away like a cat and just making a overall fuss of the matter.
Krynn's long platinum hair got into way of Rajin's already bad sight. The only thing he could see was her. When water was poured into his burning eyes, the ifrit howled and winced, but listened to the lamia's words. He blinked and let the foreign contents go to work on rinsing out the irritants in his eyes. After a while, Rajin's eyes remained closed, but he wasn't fussing like a child anymore. He didn't flail about or hiss. The genie was noticeably calmer. In no time, he was able to open his eyes.

As her husband whined some sort of gibberish and pawed at her like some frail beast, the lamia simply murmured soothingly for the man to calm down and to keep blinking. Maybe she was imagining it, but he actually began to listen to her.. after howling something awful and retreating some from her. Krynn responded by leaning closer, one knee now resting on the couch as she continued to cleanse the ifrit's eye of the whiskey. Perhaps the woman wasn't aware of the proximity, but his heat was hard to not notice this close.. and for the time being, it wasn't something she minded. Her poor genie hurt himself, though it was a weird feeling to have once again - the need to help him, to coax him. When he calmed, Krynn broke into a smile and her features softened.. though she had not realized that she had been expressing so much concern in her look.
When his eyes did open, the lamia realized just how close she was.. her face mere inches above his and her body perhaps a little too near the ifrit's, almost touching as she leaned over him. Krynn's silvery locks created a halo around them, landing in Rajin's lap as she lowered some and pulled away slightly - though the distance between them did not change much, with the lamia now eye-to-eye with the genie. When she spoke, there was a little wavering to her voice, "There now, all better?"

Rajin held his eyes open as much as he could.The genie's eyes had softened like a withering flame cracking over dying embers.While they didn't sting, they did sort of itch. The ifrit hadn't really given any thought about how close he was to snake. Her face was all he could see as they nearly nose to nose. Rajin could feel Krynn's breath on his face as his eyes grew used to the itch and subsided. When asked if he felt better, the ifrit nodded. "Thank you." He said softly and gratefully. Unlike the lamia, Rajin's voice didn't stutter. It was calm. The ifrit was relieved to not be in pain anymore and be able to see. "Hasss anyone ever told you that you have the mosht beautifully shmooth skin?" The drunken ifrit slurred quietly, brushing his fingers against the lamia's non-tattooed cheeks before letting his arm fall limp.

Perhaps her mind was playing tricks on her, but she welcomed the closeness between them. It was clear Rajin didn't mind it, and muscles she wasn't aware she was tensing began to relax.. her shoulders fell a little and her smile broadened. As the genie nodded, Krynn's nose brushed with his and thoughts of being even closer dwelled in the snake's mind, her skin hot where he touched her. The model tried to push these intruders back, but she relaxed into his fingers when he grazed her cheek and her eyes closed in a sort of bliss. Rajin wasn't so bad sometimes, when he was piss-drunk and needed to be babied once again. Krynn let her hand find his before it dropped away, and held it to her cheek as she spoke softly, "A few people come to mind," In fact, most prominently, the genie stuck out in her mind - one of the few people allowed to touch the woman. Red flags inside of the snake warned her to back off, to not give in to her feelings, to ask to use a phone and go back to her hotel room alone. But she had missed Rajin despite herself, and she hadn't seen him in so long.. maybe it wasn't a bad idea to come here after all.
Krynn spoke in almost a whisper, "I've missed this, Raj," Her words wavered once more, as if she wasn't sure if she wanted to say them. She kept her eyes closed, her thumb rubbing the hand that she kept to her warming cheek.

The ifrit nodded his head slowly, confirming that he had heard what the lamia said before closing his eyes. He arm hadn't fallen limp for just any reason. Rajin was slowly falling asleep. His eyes closed and his head relaxed into the back of the couch. The fire genie felt eyelids growing so heavy. The only sensation Rajin could feel as he slowly drifted off was Krynn's fingers caressing his hand. One of the genie's last were how it would be if he could fall asleep like this every night. "...Love...you..." The ifrit seemed to mumble before finally going over the edge and falling asleep.

Krynn sighed once she realized that the genie was drifting off to sleep, and she gently set his arm down on his leg as she continued to circle her thumb along his hand. The snake opened her eyes and watched Rajin, her feelings swirling in uncertainty as she soaked in the sleepy fireball. She had only begun to move away from him - though she took a seat on the couch next to him, their thighs and shoulders now touching - when he murmured his thoughts to her.. and Krynn opened her mouth just slightly, as if to protest his statement, but she closed it quickly and sunk into the couch some. She still held his hand, but the snake had stopped moving her fingers and let her head fall back as she stared up at the ceiling. Krynn let a heavy sigh come through her nostrils, her face full of worry that Rajin could not see. She didn't know if she could ride this rollercoaster again, if she could handle the way his love acted like waves - pushing and pulling at her, drawing her in and keeping her at a distance, sometimes lacking and at other times pulling her under to drown her in his affections. But she had truly missed him, the more she was able to be still and around him, the more she realized this. There was always something gone from her life, always a void she had escaped from by trying to fill it with more work.
"s**t," Whispered the boa, and her other hand very carefully reached into Rajin's pocket and slipped out his cell phone. What time was it? Would Zetaya still be up? This was unprofessional. Krynn dialed her mother-in-law by memory alone, not bothering to sift through the genie's contacts. Lowering the volume preemptively, the snake held the phone to her ear and began idly rubbing Rajin's hand once again, as if a long-time habit she still had trouble breaking.

Across the world, in some unnamed luxury car , a phone was ringing. Perfectly manicured fingers reached into a designer leather handbag. At first, there was silence, but then came a tired answer. "Raj, should you be in bed or getting in trouble with some floozy? If anything, you should be apologizing to Krynn who just so happens to be in town. I'm still not going to let you go for messing my chances at having grandchildren!" Rajin's mother Zetaya was unaware of who might actually be on the other line. The lady ifrit sighed. "Whatever, it should be past midnight over there. What do you want?"

There was a moment while Zetaya spoke that Krynn stopped moving her hand and winced, in fact the first string of sentences that her mother-in-law said made the girl pull her hand away and stand, striding across the living area and back again. Antsiness took hold of the snake but she waited until the ifrit on the other side gave a sigh and the time, then asked what she - or, rather, Rajin - wanted at this hour. Her words came out in a sort of flurry at first, "Zetaya, I really need your help, I'm at a loss," There was a deep intake of breath and the transition to calm speech was seemingly quick and smooth, "I went to leave and I'm locked out of my rental, Rajin is passed out drunk, and I don't have the company's number for the car. I don't know how I'm going to get to the booking in the morning, I need to go," Zetaya knew how much the modest lines meant to Krynn. She had to, it was one of the few things the snake would talk about with enthusiasm.. there was another short pause, and then the woman spoke again, "I'm sorry for calling you so late, I don't have anyone else," A sad truth that hadn't proved inconvenient until now - not having friends can eventually put you in a bit of a bind.

As soon as the lady genie heard Krynn's voice on the other line, she began to feel foolish. "Oops, I'm sorry dearie. I thought something was a bit off since I wasn't being interrupted. Plus, Rajin never calls me of his own will this late. So what did you need?" The ifrit tossed her hair to side and relaxed a bit more as she listened to her daughter-in-law. The sad story had the woman instantly feeling sympathy for her prize winning model of a daughter. "Oh darling. I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, since Raj is passed out, I could send a chopper to pick you up. There should be a landing pad on the roof you can go to. I have the elevator you need to get up to it. Or..." The woman let her second offer hang in the air for moment as she applied lipstick while peering into a pocket mirror. "I could just call ahead for you. Maybe cancel for you. If you're important enough, people can wait."

Krynn found herself smiling just a little as the genie apologized and mentioned the snake's manners. She could feel the sympathy in the woman's voice, and she relaxed some as she was given the option to be picked up, although she would have preferred a prepaid taxi over a helicopter.. but her interest was piqued when she began another option. She closed her mouth, about to suggest a less flashy method of travel, and listened to Zetaya suggest that she simply move the booking back - and thus, that she would stay the night with Rajin. She was sure he could help her in the morning, and it wasn't a bad place to stay.. she stopped her pacing and looked over to her husband. Taking in a deep breath, Krynn released it in a bit of a sigh and looked out of the window at the bright city, "I don't want it cancelled.. but," This time, the snake was the one letting the air thicken some. Her other hand moved to the pendant around her neck and she turned again to the sleeping ifrit, "If you could change it to later, or even another day, that would work better for me," Her voice didn't betray her, and her racing heart didn't peak through her words. "Actually, another day would be perfect for me. I could always extend the stay one more, right?" The first sentence a little firm, the second a little less sure, Krynn really was not entirely confident that she was able to fit another day into her already busy traveling lifestyle.. but she had a feeling that her mother-in-law would be all-too-happy to pull strings for this scenario.

Although she couldn't see it, the lady ifrit smiled. She pulled her head away from the phone to let her have a stifled giggle. "Alright dearie. I'll see what I can. I'm sure I can convince the people to wait for you. Don't worry." Zetaya said in a completely straight tone. On the inside, she was brimming with excitement and beaming with joy. Her secret plan was actually getting a chance to happen. The genie had deep connections that seemed to go beyond that of normal celebrity power. To help her daughter-in-law, the ifrit would gladly pull strings and without hesitation. "Get some rest, honey. I'll call you in the morning. If Raj gives you any trouble, just let me know. Ciao~!" Zetaya chirped, letting out a bit of her excitement in her voice before quickly hanging up.

Maybe it was just her imagination, but she felt almost psychic as the genie reacted as she expected - attempting to hide her joy with a flat tone, and agreeing to whatever it took to keep the snake around her flame of a son. Krynn's mind flashed again to thoughts of Zetaya somehow plotting all the inconveniences that led her to this moment, but they were interrupted when her mother-in-law spoke once more. This time, the excitement seeped through and the Zmeya's suspicions felt a little more confirmed, but she got out a quick "Thank you, good nigh-" before Zetaya hung up and the snake was left in silence with her sleeping husband. Krynn let out a sigh and tossed the phone gently onto the other side of the couch, then returned to her previous place next to Rajin. She took down her hair and braided it slowly, trying not to allow stress into her mind about the sort of schedule conflicts an extra day would create for her.. or that she now had an entire day to spend around the fireball next to her. As she finished and tied her hair, she also decided to make herself comfortable- she shimmied and unclasped her way out of her bra while leaving on her shirt, kicked off her shoes, and unbuttoned her jeans.. though she kept those on. Krynn was tempted to call Zetaya back and change her mind even after all this, her thoughts scattered but most sharing a single trait: Rajin. She lifted her legs onto the couch and leaned on the genie some, eventually drifting to sleep - though in sleep her body betrayed her conscious resistances.
Asleep with her head in Rajin's lap, the snake curled up with one hand finding his and the other wrapped around herself. Krynn faced his warmth, her long hair laid over his leg and touched the ground behind her as she found peace in her rest. It was nice to be close to him again.

Asleep like a baby, the genie hadn't moved a muscle as he slept. With his body propped upright, Rajin was sure to have one hell of a morning kink. He might have slept soundly, but the Rajin's morning was going to noisy with all of his moaning groaning. The next morning, Rajin awoke as predicted. His neck was completely stiff from being bent slightly backwards. A cranky ifrit was a joy for no one. "Why did I pass out on the couch?" Rajin growled in frustration, trying to ignore the pain. To make matters worse, the fire genie's head was throbbing. A simple scan around the room would tell him of the culprit. Almost two straight bottles of hard liquor and no hydration. A normal man would have been dead from the genie consumed. Rajin was about to move when he felt something heavy lying on down his lap.

The grumpy ifrit moving his head this way and that was enough to cause the snake to stir, and she turned into him more, genuine in wanting to be near him. Krynn's brow furrowed some at his growling, she murmured something unintelligible, and then began to attempt to fight off the morning. The lamia didn't want to leave the dreamland she had been stuck in, but eventually - when Rajin attempted to get up, and in turn, shifted the snake some - Krynn's eyes fluttered open and she looked up at her now-hungover husband. With reddening cheeks, she closed her eyes in the hopes that he had not yet seen her awake, and that he would attempt to leave her asleep when he got up from the couch.. but this didn't seem to happen the longer the moments ticked by and the lamia once again peeked up at the genie. "I, um," Krynn started to get up, but crossed her arms over themselves, as if uncomfortable not being covered beneath her shirt, "I called Zetaya and asked to move the appointment. She said it was fine that I stayed," Ignore that she could have slept anywhere besides with him. Ignore that his mother would have sent for her if she chose that option. Mostly, Krynn was worried he had remembered their spat more than her help. Considering the necklace that still hung from his neck, she was very worried he might.

The grumpy ifrit's interest piqued when he heard Krynn's shy voice speak up from below. Someone was around to possibly help him. Nevermind that the lamia was telling how his mother pulled some strings, Rajin needed help. The ifrit stayed where he was on the couch with his neck stuck painfully in place. The lamia now at his side was in plain sight. Even after a rough night and no make-up she looked beautiful. The snake probably had no need for beauty products. Rajin apologetically smile in pain as he looked over at his wife. "Krynn is that you? I'm sorry about last night, but could you please help me? My neck is stuck." Memories of the night before flashed in the ifrit's eyes. He remembered how motherly and kind the snake beauty was when Rajin was in need of help. Then again, he was also pitifully drunk. Perhaps, if he could recreate that pitifulness, the lamia would help him.
