this is true!
unlike four.

JESTER seems nice too this is why i is also excited
also is woman!
i know so many man…
is same in i’s world actually because i work in lumber yard but
is nice to have girl friend

oh I know how that is!
I didn't have any girl friends at all until like a year ago!

ahh! this is going to be so fun, i hope Liem is SO surprised!!!

[Oh dear—did she not like his selfie? What an embarrassing gaffe on his part. Liem has many, many years of experience with the correct way to politely obey directions, so this is really just inexcusable. He can certainly do better. Will he? That remains to be seen.]

Of course. My mistake. 😌

[The door is already seen to, so Liem picks himself up from the chair, places his phone aside, and kneels on the cushion—spine straight, shoulders relaxed back, head slightly bowed, and fluffy tail nestled between his feet. It may very well be another twenty minutes—or even longer—before Jester actually gets here, but Liem is no stranger to spending time on his knees, and he’s content to wait.

His dark eyes drift closed on a gradual breath, stay that way as he releases it again. This is the pose he adopts during his morning meditation, and although twenty minutes is longer than he usually spends on it, the cushion is a luxury that he doesn’t usually afford himself. He doesn’t think about the ache in his body or wonder about the passing of time. Instead all of his attention is reserved for the slow movement of breath through him, and for the anticipation of Jester’s arrival. It could be in moments, or it could be in an hour—either way, he will be waiting.]

[Of course she liked it. But telling him she did would only be encouraging his cheeky behavior, wouldn't it? And she can't have that!

She doesn't make him wait too long. Her own excitement speeds her footsteps along a little more quickly, even in the heavy fur draped around her shoulders as she walks a route that's growing a little more familiar each time.

When she reaches Liem's front door, she pauses just for a moment, taking a deep inhale and steeling herself. Just a moment to hype herself up. She wants to do a good job for Liem, and she definitely doesn't want him to think she's terrible at sex stuff, so she's taking this very seriously, and drawing on all her knowledge of kink from 23-odd years of living in a brothel.

You've got this, Jester. She turns the knob and enters Liem's foyer, a little thrill going through her as she locks the door behind her with loud click. It's strange to be in his house without him leading her around. She wonders if he's actually been waiting on his knees this whole time, but elects to trust that Liem isn't a liar, because he seems very fastidious even if he's being bratty.

The hem of her heavy fur skims across the stairs as she walks up to where she assumes Liem's bedroom is; following the light spilling out into the hall, she finds him kneeling silently in the middle of the room and exhales softly at the sight of him. The ears, the tail...they're both extra-cute tonight, it seems.

She crosses to stand beside him, and reaches down to tuck two fingers underneath his chin, urging him to look up at her. She smiles down at him, her violet pupils turned huge and black in her eyes. Her skin has turned a more desaturated grey-blue, and larger, darker freckles are smattered across her cheeks. Currently, she's enveloped in a massive fur coat, thick and luxurious and the same color and pattern as her skin, reaching all the way to the floor.]

Hello, Liem! I'm so glad to see you followed my directions. Your knees hurt or anything?

then is same!

yes
LIEM has been most kind to i since first meeting
so
if we can make birth day celebration a fun surprise
i will be most glad

i will cook muchly!
so i will task JESTER with ordering MATT and NIKOLAI on decorations to help JESTER
alright?

[ Matt finds the admission so surprising--and frankly, so relatable--that he can't help a bright laugh. The peal of it echoes down the darkened block.

Jester bounds right up to the door of her house, and Matt takes the steps two at a time to (more or less) keep pace with her. He comes to a stop a step down from her, lips curling into a smile. ]

I had a great time too, [ he says. He feels breathless from the sudden change of pace--and, perhaps, from a touch of end-of-date jitters. ] Thanks for showing me some of your magic, and like ... talking about your god with me. I really like hearing it.

[ If you asked him later, Matt probably wouldn't be able to explain. The closest he'd get would be something about Jester's smile. The glint of moonlight off her fangs, the jeweled loveliness of her skin. The snow around them soft as powdered sugar.

None of that really explains why Matt picks now to stoop slightly and kiss Jester lightly on the lips. But he stands by the decision. ]

[Jester still doesn't let go of Matt's hand, butterflies alighting in her stomach as she looks up at him—just slightly up, now that she's got the steps as a height boost.]

Any time, [she replies softly.] Next time I could even Polymorph you, too. We could be any animal you want.

[Oh, oh gods, he's leaning in, and she could swear her heart is going to beat right out of her chest. His lips are warm, so warm, and soft, and even though it's a brief kiss, it fills her whole body with that same warmth as the moment ends. The smile she gives him could light up the entire block as she reluctantly lets go of his hand.]

...G'night, Matt.

[ Matt thinks every kiss is perfect in its way. Every kiss makes its own little world, a place of texture and warmth and unpredictable intersections. This one feels like heat rising, like Jester's already turned him into an animal capable of flight--some fluttering bird or insect--and he's being carried off into the atmosphere.

And when he pulls back, her smile just--bowls him over. ]

Yeah, [ he agrees, with a goofy grin to answer her. He nods, stepping backwards down the stairs. ] Good night, Jester.

sounds perfect!
i'll have lots of fun ordering them around :)))

lady is more smart than men many times
so i am sure you will do much well with being in charge of this!
(do not tell men i say so, just is true)

[Liem’s hearing has always been very good, but since he woke up this morning it’s been especially acute. He’s alerted to Jester’s arrival as soon as her footfalls reach his walkway, before she even touches the door. At the sound of her entrance, his long ears twitch and his eyes open, though his posture remains otherwise unchanged—but beneath his clothes his skin prickles with anticipation as he listens to her steps approaching through his house.

It wasn’t the easiest to tell from his pictures, and it’s still not completely obvious since Liem is kneeling on the floor, but his transformation this month has done more than just give him some antlers and fuzzy rabbit features. He’s smaller than he was—by a few inches, which some might say he could ill afford to spare. Were he to stand now, he and Jester would be almost of a height.

He doesn’t stand, though. From his position on the cushion, he lets her tip his face up so he can look at her, and a quiet little smile spreads over his expression. Jester always looks lovely, but in that coat she looks expensive. Her eyes, gazing down at him, seem dark enough to swallow him whole, and the thought sends his heart racing.]

Not at all.

[It’s a small lie; it’s a rare day when his body doesn’t hurt at all, and this isn’t one of them. But it’s a familiar pain—not one of protest against his pose. His smile turns playful.]

Since I did as you asked, do I get a reward?

That's good.

[Jester's fingers stroke gently beneath Liem's chin, watching his smile take on a playful cast, and he asks her for his reward. Her fangs dig into her lower lip a little as she tries to restrain the way her own smile wants to widen.]

Yes, you definitely deserve one for being so patient. So...

[Her fingers drop, and she steps sideways, around him, in front of the chair. Very carefully, she lets her fur slide from her shoulders, revealing a black velvet dress underneath. Then, she sinks into the chair, nestled atop the fur comfortably. Her legs cross at the knee in front of him, clad in close-woven black fishnet tights and ending in a pair of strappy black shoes that tie in ribbons at the ankle.]

You get to help me undress. Aren't you so lucky?

Edited 2022-01-16 04:18 (UTC)

[The way Jester’s fangs dimple her lower lip as she looks down at him is both inordinately charming and extremely alluring. He can too easily imagine those fangs pricking at his mouth or dragging over his skin, and although the time he spent awaiting her arrival managed to pass in a meditative haze, he no longer feels very patient at all. When she steps around him to settle into her chair, Liem tilts his face to follow her like a flower seeking the sun.]

I do feel lucky.

[He eyes that intriguing little dress, wondering how it’s fastened, considering the ribbons on her shoes and the curious black mesh of her tights. He’s never had cause to undress a woman wearing clothes like these before; the only woman he’s been with in Noctium preferred garments much more traditional to her home. But by the playful eagerness of his regard, he finds the prospect to be a thrilling one.]

Can I use my mouth?

your friend maybe our friend mollymauk gave me a real interesting tea set and im real excited to share it with you

-caduceus

[Jester is reminded suddenly of watching Liem give her his lucky birthday kisses, the way he'd knelt in front of her so reverently. How it had made butterflies leap to life in her stomach, the same ones going crazy right now. While Liem takes in her outfit, she admires his new traits. The darker hair is striking, as are those ears...

She can't resist reaching out to rub one ear gently between her thumb and forefinger, gasping a little in delight at the velvety texture of it, but also at Liem's request that sends blood pumping southward.]

Oh, yes. Gold star for creativity!

[She release his ear, and settles back in her chair.] Start with the shoes, obviously.

oh that's great! we can mix and match!!

[Liem draws in a soft breath when Jester rubs one of his ears softly between her fingers, heat creeping into his ears, his cheeks. He can’t help but feel a little bit like a pet when his ears are stroked, at least during times like this when they’re soft and furry. Especially right now, kneeling as he is in front of her like a hound at its master’s feet. But when she pulls her hand away, his look of disappointment at her rescinded touch is very nearly a pout.

His eyes follow hers as she leans back, then slowly drift down as he leans closer, bending over one elegant leg with its little heeled shoe. He’s careful about the angle of his head, conscious of the pronged antlers that have sprung up from his hair, as he grips the ribbon at her ankle between his teeth and begins to tug it free. Liem coaxes the tie undone, pressing a kiss to the side of her ankle and trailing the tip of his nose along mesh-covered skin as he moves toward the back of her foot—to tip the shoe off and into his waiting hand.]

[Jester catches the disappointment on Liem's face when she pulls away, and files that smugly away for later. Maybe ear pets will be good motivation...She doesn't linger on it long, though, too focused on watching him bend to undo the ties of her shoe with his teeth. Her breathing grows very shallow, as if she doesn't want to distract him with the sound, and she shivers slightly as the tip of his nose drags over her skin, just barely touching her through the gaps in her stockings.]

Oh, [she sighs, exhaling in a soft rush. She never imagined that watching someone take her shoes off would be that much of a turn-on; her breath hitches in her throat, betraying the effect he's having on her.

Slowly, Jester uncrosses and then re-crosses her legs, giving him access to the other shoe, but also a generous glimpse of her soft, grey-blue thighs beneath her skirt.]

[The day after a certain birthday party, Konoha is feeling... a lot of things. And only some of them can be fixed with deliveries, but. ... Wait, she doesn't know her address, eight million myriad of gods it's going to ruin the surprise...]

good evening miss JESTER
can you tell i address please?

oh! hey Konoha!!
thanks again for inviting me to the party last night, it was sooooo fun!

of course, here's my address!

[Jester sends over the address of Essek's place in Sumarlok, curious as to what Konoha might want with it but mostly just pleased to hear from her at all.]

was good
not how i expect
but if LIEM and guest has fun this is most important thing
much glad.

thank you for address!
i send.

[Even trained as his eyes are on her legs, her feet, Liem can't miss the way Jester sighs in her seat, or the way her breath hitches at the teasing skim of his nose over her skin. His ears twitch slightly at the sound, perking up as he sits up with a small, pleased smile on his face.

Who knew just taking off a lady's shoes could be this enjoyable?

He puts the shoe carefully to the side as she switches the orientation of her legs, and his eyes are drawn irresistibly to the movement, to the flash of soft grey beneath that short black skirt. Liem's expression becomes less smug and more appreciative, hungry even, even as he bends again to see to her other shoe. How much leeway will she give him in the name of helping her undress, he wonders? How much can he use his mouth before it's just an indulgence, an excuse to map her curves with lips and tongue and teeth?

He trails his lips curiously down the side of her calf, cool skin on cool skin, until he reaches the ribbon of her other shoe and undoes it as well. And gently, he tips that shoe off to place it neatly beside its twin.]

[Jester is not normally a very patient person, and watching Liem remove her shoes seems to stretch out a little longer than it ought to, but in a pleasant way for a change. His lips skimming down her calf are titillating, and suddenly she regrets the stockings only for the way they dull the sensation. But that won't be a problem for much longer.]

Nice job, [she murmurs, rewarding Liem's progress with more ear rubs, a little closer to the base this time, and as she goes on she cards her fingers through his hair for good measure. Gods be good, it's so soft, she wants to bury her nose in it—

Woah, girl. One thing at a time. Wiggling her bare toes in her stockings against the floor, she pushes herself to stand in front of Liem again, the chair scooting back a few inches to give them space to work.]

Stockings next!

you'll send...???
did YOU have a good time?

is surprise miss JESTER
(food surprise).

[… the question is a bit loaded considering her slow realization throughout that debauched game of how envious she was of her PDA-shameless single friends but besides that it genuinely-]

was much much fun yes
i never host before
or go to surprise one
so was nervous but
was fun.
most important was if LIEM has fun so
hoping that is so.
