If the warning hadn't been enough to alarm Esther, watching C.T. rip a gash into her thumb was. And plenty. Eyes widening in concern and a hint of panic, Esther started to protest, "C-C.T., stop! What are you--?" Then the drops froze in midair, condensed into a ball, and hovered right in front of her, all apparently at C.T.'s command. Although Esther's eyes were still wide, the panic and concern had melted and morphed into utter astonishment. She appeared to be having some difficulty comprehending what C.T. was telling her; Esther had always assumed Supernaturals had mostly generic powers, like flying or teleporting. But this was something else. This was something else completely.
"That's... that's amazing, C.T.," she said, then lifted her eyes from the sphere to look at the other girl. "You're amazing." Gaze returning to the blood, Esther considered reaching out to touch it, to confirm that this was indeed real, but ultimately decided against it. That was C.T.'s blood, essentially her lifeforce. Touching it seemed almost disrespectful. She wrapped her arms around herself, keeping her hands tucked in at her sides as if to cut out the temptation altogether. "Can you use your power to heal yourself, too?" she asked curiously. She had very little understanding of anatomy, but she was pretty sure blood had a big role in the healing of wounds.

  "I don't think it's amazing...."C.T said solemnly almost self consciously. Every time C.T expected a bad reaction from Esther, the girl always surprised her by reacting with the opposite, she was always so encouraging, C.T just didn't know what to make of it. She had expected Esther to think of her as a monster not praise her.... "Yes I can heal myself, smaller wounds at least." C.T spoke softly holding up her hand, and showing the open wound on her thumb before it sealed. "Wounds like this one, flawlessly, however more major damage, leaves scars." C.T had quite a few scars, more than she could count lining her body, she was sure that someway, somehow, Esther would be seeing them rather soon. With a little thought C.T floated the orb closer to Esther. "Touch it." She spoke softly, almost pleading. "It's almost like water, your hand will go right through it, and it won't stick too you, won't stain.....but I'll feel it. It's apart of me..." Speaking wasn't one of C.T strong points as was very clear by the fragments she was offering Esther, but she had nothing she could do but be honest. She wanted Esther touch this orb because, like she had said. It was apart of her, and she wanted to give every part of herself too Esther, it probably would be more effective too say that, but..... it was embarrassing. But still. "I want to be closer too you, and I feel that this will....this will....I don't know what to say."(Btw lol @sparky)

C.T. could control her own blood and heal her own wounds. Esther could understand why, after the way she had been forced to use her powers, C.T. would think negatively of them, but Esther was completely in awe of all that the girl could do. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.
Esther was a little surprised when C.T. asked her to touch the sphere, and a slight feeling of unease washed over her. She wanted to be closer to C.T., too--there was no doubt about it--and she supposed that immersing her hand in C.T.'s blood was just about as intimate as the two of them could get. But it was still that: C.T.'s blood. C.T. had said she would be able to feel it. Would she be uncomfortable? But this was what she wanted, and Esther wasn't about to refuse her. She felt honored, honestly, that C.T. trusted her enough to give her this privilege. Nodding, albeit a little shakily, Esther reached for the sphere slowly and grazed it with her fingertips. C.T. had been right. It felt almost like water, except denser. The longer she touched the blood, the less afraid she became, until she gathered the courage to run her fingers through it. As they emerged, she held them up to her face and inspected the front and back. Not a trace. But she could still feel C.T.'s blood against her skin, as if her hand had never been withdrawn. "What does it feel like?" she asked softly, curiously, looking at C.T.

How did it feel? C.T didn't know how to answer that, she found herself confused constantly when emotions were brought into the picture, the words escaped her and it just became difficult to form speech. "It felt strange, like you were inside of me, it felt like something that shouldn't be there was invading my space. My body." C.T explained, easily, before backtracking a bit when she realized how wrong that sounded. It made the experience sound, unpleasant, as if she hadn't enjoyed the sensation. "But when you pulled your hand away, it felt wrong, I missed your presence, It felt like something had been taken from me." Reaching out with her hand slowly, C.T took a hold of Esther's smaller, softer hand and interlocked their fingers before allowing the or sphere of her life's fluid, wash over their clasped hand, forming a perfect case of flowing life. She then pressed their hands to her chest, Esther hand being the one making contact with her. "I can feel you in here." C.T said, referring to her beating heart, that she was sure Esther could feel quite well, a once steady beat that had started to pick up the pace as soon as C.T had made her move.

Esther didn't know what to say. She had never connected with another person on this level, not even with Elizabeth. For a moment, she was so overwhelmed by the concept that she was stunned into silence. She could feel C.T.'s heart beat clearly, could feel it shoot up her arm and to her own heart. She could feel the blood, too, as it encased their hands, it's smooth warmth. Yes, she was overwhelmed, and even, perhaps, a little scared. But she was also shaken by the experience in the best possible way, to the point that tears began to form in her eyes. Which was ridiculous, right? What did she really have to cry about here? What did these tears mean? And yet here they were, gathering at the corners of her eyes and slithering down her cheeks.
In any other situation, Esther might have wiped the tears away immediately, embarrassed by them. But right now, all she wanted to do was kiss and hold C.T. and never let go. "You've shared so much with me, and I can't give you anything in return. Not like this," she said, shaking her head, obviously still overcome by the idea that C.T. trusted her enough for this. C.T. was, Esther imagined, very vulnerable right now, and Esther felt honored she was being given this privelege. Still, she was very conscious of the fact that she didn't have anything to offer C.T. that was equal to this.

C.T didn't expect the tears, and now she was lost again. She didn't know if the tears were good or bad, she had heard of people crying tears of joy, but there was very little that she had to go off. So quickly, C.T withdrew the blood back into her body, through the pores on her skin, and she reached for Esther, slowly, gently gripping the girls face, and wiping away at her tears with her thumbs, while Esther spoke. This self critical vocalizations of failures, flaws that C.T didn't see when she looked at Esther. The girl felt that she had nothing to give, nothing to offer, but C.T never thought about that. She didn't expect anything from Esther, she didn't expect Esther to give her anything. But she wanted her. She wanted Esther to stay with her, to always be around, to touch her, she waned to kiss Esther more and as often as possible. She wanted Esther to love her. C.T pulled Esther face to hers, and locked their lips silently, before kissing the girls stained chicks and just below her right eye tasting the salt there, before speaking. "I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything Esther. You don't. All I want is you. Nothing will make me happier, then to just be with you." C.T looked Esther in her eyes intensely, before smirking. "Please don't cry, I'm new to this whole relationship thing, and I don't know what to do if you cry." C.T pulled Esther into a hug while she was speaking, right now she wanted to comfort Esther, guide her through any insecurities that she could possibly be feeling.

Esther sensed that C.T. didn't quite get what she had meant, but the attempts to comfort her were still appreciated, and, in fact, she found great relief in C.T.'s continuous touch. What Esther was feeling wasn't so much about insecurities or doubts that she could contribute to the relationship, but rather a desire for equality. She didn't like the idea that C.T. had bared more than Esther had. It wasn't fair to C.T. Esther wanted to prove that the trust C.T. had placed in her was reciprocated full-heartedly.
This desire was difficult to explain, though, so Esther kept silent. Maybe she would find a way to even things out; until then, she would revel in the fact that all C.T. wanted was her. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as Esther melted into the hug. "I'm sorry," she said, pulling away a bit so C.T. could see that the tears had ceased. "I don't know what came over me." She pecked C.T.'s lips sweetly, then settled into her arms again, wrapping her own arms tightly around C.T.

"Don't be sorry, never apologize for your feelings. It's ok. This is... new" C.T said hesitantly,s he wished she could say more, do more too comfort her.....friend? Girl friend? "Esther....what are we? I mean, what am I too you?" C.T asked, she knew how she felt about Esther, knew how the girl made her feel, and she knew that Esther liked her, she would be so confident as to say that she sure that Esther liked her alot. But what did that actually mean? (Sorry about this post, kind of blocked lol)

(Nah, don't worry about it. On a separate note, not sure whether you'll appreciate this or not because I'm not sure about your music tastes, but I feel like this song is kind of relevent to our roleplay, and I figured I might as well share: here!.)
Esther tossed the question around in her mind, seriously considering her answer. Was C.T. her girlfriend? But something about that term seemed so casual, so normal, that it couldn't possibly accurately describe what she and C.T. now shared. Not much about their relationship was normal--not the way they had met, not the bond that they had created, nothing. And Esther was okay with that. Way more than okay with that, to the point where she wouldn't give it up for anything. So what word could she use to explain clearly and without misunderstanding what C.T. was to her?
"I... I don't know yet," she said honestly, awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck. "And I don't know about you, but I'm not in a rush to." Sitting up straight, Esther took both of C.T.'s hands in her own and kissed the backs. "We've got all of the time in the world"--or that's what she was choosing to believe, anyway--"and at this moment, I know I want to spend every second of it with you, in spirit if not in person. We can figure out the logistics as we go." Beaming, Esther hopped to her feet and nodded toward the door. "Let's go see Mag and come up with an excuse for why you and I have to stay in your room all day."

C.T smiled down at Esther, as the girl gripped her hands and placed soft kisses upon them. "No, I suppose it isn't important at the moment, as long as I know that you care, nothing else matters." C.T said honestly. She liked the words that Esther used. "All the time in the world" It signified longevity and she just loved the feeling. "I like the way that sounds, I really like the idea of spending more time with you." This, C.T admitted a little more timidly, she was still getting used to admitting her feelings so openly, but she did feel that she was a bit more affectionate than she thought she would be. But she couldn't say that she didn't like it, in fact she did, she liked it a lot. She liked touching Esther, and she liked it when Esther touched her, and what she liked to most, was being able to tell Esther her honest feelings, and having the girl return them. "So what are you going to tell Mag?" C.T asked absently, making her way to the door and holding it open for Esther. She was pretending she was going to dump the responsibility on Esther, and while that wasn't true, she would enjoy a little fun at the girls expense. (Not my type of tune, but it is very fitting!)

Esther narrowed her eyes at C.T. She couldn't tell if the girl was joking or not--was she really going to leave the excuse-making up to Esther? Damn. Esther wasn't a good liar; this had already been established. And Mag... She seemed like the type who would be a worthy opponent for any conman, and it certainly didn't help that she had been a nurse. But maybe, just maybe, Esther's desire to spend the day alone with C.T. would be enough to give her acting skills a boost. Maybe. Well, it didn't matter, because Esther was drawing blanks. Lips spreading into a grin, she held her head high and replied matter-of-factly, almost flirtatiously, as she passed C.T. on her way out the door, "I'm going to tell Mag I need to catch up on my rest because you wanted to make out all last night and I didn't get any sleep." Esther continued smirking to herself, enjoying the memory of their kisses, and barely made it down the hallway and around the corner before she was surprised by the devil herself. The girl's sudden appearance caused Esther to shriek and stumble backward a few steps.
"You both know it's seven in the morning, right?" Both of Mag's arms were folded over her chest as she stared down both Esther and C.T. Eventually her eyes drifted to and stayed on C.T. alone. "After how you were feeling yesterday, you should at least get a full night's sleep."
Esther, who was still recovering, took deep breaths and bent over, placing her hands on her knees. A few muttered swear words later, she looked up at Mag. "Relax, we're going back to her room. We'll be spending the day in there," she replied, scowling and standing straight again.
Mag's left brow quirked. "All day?" she asked, now focusing on Esther. Esther could already feel herself wilting under Mag's gaze. "She needs some more sleep, sure, but being cooped up in there all day isn't going to help."
"But, uh..." Here it was. Esther, body tensing, said the first thing that came to mind, which wouldn't have been the worst excuse she could have come up with, if it hadn't been for the quickfire pace and the strangely higher pitch with which she spoke. "We're organizing C.T.'s closet." The reaction she got from Mag--the steadily rising left brow, the slightly agape lips--was all it took for Esther to remember that C.T. didn't have a closet.
Well, s**t.

C.T froze a bit at that comment as Esther strolled by her, damn it all but, if C.T wasn't getting caught off guard by the things Esther said, it just wouldn't be normal. "You wouldn't." C.T challenged dismissively as she followed behind Esther, their pace stopped almost instantly, as Esther nearly bumped into Mag letting a small yelp of surprise. For the briefest of seconds, C.T felt the urge to jump to the girls rescue, but that was irrational, Esther was fine. Just surprised, and it also seemed she wouldn't be telling Mag anything that she could use against C.T. Nice. What wasn't so nice was Mag beginning her nagging again, she always expected C.T to just lay down, and rest. She knew full well that the girl wouldn't it just wasn't her, besides, she wouldn't be able to sleep now, she was too excited about today....excited and also apprehensive. Esther stepped in and defended her, before C.T could offer Mag a retort and the girl was doing a good job of talking to Mag, for maybe just about...half a sentence, before she botched.... Maybe Connie shouldn't have let her do the talking, she was joking after all....she should have said something. "Mag, we want to spend time together." C.T said with a shrug, ignoring the look Mag was giving her as her raised brow look of disbelief turned into bug eyed shock. "What?" Mag managed, now rapidly looking in between C.T and Esther trying to see if once again she was being fooled with. "Sorry if you wanted to keep it under ropes, but I figured we would have to tell her anyway. Might as well do it now, seeing as telling a lie for you is a task only slightly harder than pulling teeth." C.T spoke to Esther now a half smirk on her face, before she turned back to Mag a very serious expression replacing her grin. "You tell no one. No one at all."

Esther met C.T.'s half-smirk with sheer embarrassment, her cheeks exploding with pink and her expression contorted with humiliation. "At least you never have to worry about me being dishonest, right?" she said, awkwardly shoving her hands into the pockets of her bottoms.
For once, Mag seemed to be so stunned by what she had heard that she didn't know what to say about it. She was still trying to process insinuations behind C.T.'s words. "When you say you want to spend time together," Mag started, "are you talking about as friends, or...?" The resurrected blush, now a vibrant crimson, on Esther's otherwise pale face said all that needed to be said. Cupping her chin in thought, Mag relaxed and placed a hand on her hip. "Huh. Honestly, I suspected something might be up between you two, but... Wow, that happened fast." Then she added, "And I'm not sure I would've pegged Esther as your type."
Esther's left brow quirked and she glared at Mag. "Wanna try that again?"
Mag shook her head and rephrased. "I didn't think C.T. had a type. I wasn't sure she would ever let anyone in."
Her expression softening, Esther glanced at C.T. Suddenly, she found herself thankful again that C.T. had chosen her to confide in. Returning her attention to Mag, Esther asked, grinning hopefully, "So would you, uh, bring us food, then, so we can hide away until five and not go hungry?"

"At least you never have to worry about me being dishonest, right?"C.T loved it when Esther spoke like that, in itself it was a promise of longevity, every-time the girl spoke in the future tense C.T couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "I hope not." C.T spoke in good nature, fighting with herself because at that very moment she just wanted to grab Esther and kiss her. She was just so cute, her blushing face making C.T smile even wider, but she had to control herself, at least in front of Mag. It wouldn't be good to embarrass her too much. "I didn't think I had a type either if I am to be completely honest, it just happened to be that we were compatible. This...works."Mag looked at C.T again, mutely examining the completely open expression on the woman's face. She had never seen her friend look so free, and the way she had been smiling earlier, she was happy. Mag could see now that she had come a long way. "Alright, got it young Miss Bradley, I can bring some food with ya so you can stay shacked up with your girlfriend all day." A slow grin was making it's way onto Mag's face and C.T knew exactly where this was going. "So you'd probably want some Gatorade with that meal huh? Need to recharge after the strenuous work outs you're going to be getting in? Maybe some heavy proteins so all your hard work can go to your muscles?" C.T rolled her eyes "Are you finished." C.T asked, clearly not up to play Mag's game. Completely unphased Mag just shrugged before walking backwards making her exit "Yep, any who see ya Connie, See ya Esther, have fun doing, the bed sheet mamba, hehe if you know what I mean. Be gentle Esther's she new." "Mag!" "Ciao" "идиот" C.T sighed before turning back too Esther. "I take it back, I shouldn't have told her anything, but at least she can keep a secret." C.T said before nodding her head back towards the corner before her room. "Ready to go back?"

(Haha, Mag... XD)
Esther stared after Mag, eyes wide and cheeks, once again, flamingo pink. The "bedsheet mambo." Geez, this girl sure was something else. Caught up in Mag's teasing, Esther nearly missed C.T.'s question. Blinking, she turned to C.T. "W-What? Oh--" Esther shook off the blush, replaced her agape lips with a smile, and nodded. "Sure, let's go."
After checking to make sure no one else was around, Esther reached out and grabbed C.T.'s hand, interlocking their fingers together. She didn't dare let go, even after they had made it back to C.T.'s bedroom, and, after closing the door behind them, pulled C.T. onto the bed with her. There Esther did exactly as she had suggested: she stayed by C.T.'s side, cuddling with her and kissing her whenever she wanted. It was the most amazing hours of her life, she was sure of it, and she never wanted this to end.
And then it was five o' clock.
