He wasn't entirely sure what she was laughing about, but good for her. He let Tellus begin cleaning, something he could have done himself but... why would he complain with that little thing rubbing a damp cloth around his chest and back? She'd always have to settle for second best after Celeste, but fuck did Tellus turn him on at times. It helped that he didn't know it was artificial, or his mind would have been subconsciously fighting against her every damn step of the way. Rayner was very easily susceptible to suggestions, as Tellus got a good idea of looking at his back, but his active will was forceful as anyone could expect of somebody who got scars like he'd received and went back for more.<br/><br/>"Nah."<br/><br/>He took the mirror from her unsure of what she wanted, still trying not to think about how she'd felt up against him or the things he'd like to do still too much, as he enjoyed his mind lingering there a bit. That train of thought was interrupted as he looked in the mirror and his face took on a shade of worry. Tellus might not realize it, but the concern stopping his expression had nothing to do with how deep it was. It was about how light it had felt.<br/><br/>Still nothing, compared to what Lazenca had put in about the same place, but then Celeste had nails, Lazenca had come after him with something that belonged on a lion.<br/><br/>His face fell through the rest of the talk, mind sinking into thought silently as he went on. She had plenty to say and he just kind of let it run through his mind- some had already occurred to him, or felt like he didn't need to hear it again, but a few things were legitimately useful. And at the end, he sat thinking quietly a moment as he nodded his head to her and said "Right. I'll do everything I can. Figure something out," and looked up, his eyes slowly focusing on things not only inside the room, but not hanging invisibly in mid air, either.<br/><br/>Which of course, meant his eyes stopping on her leaning back, showing off her torso and breasts, spread out nice for sight in such a small package, and stayed there longer than he meant to before he got past all the skin and tattoo and to her face once more.<br/><br/>"Lighten them up a lil' for me, I guess. And I'll just look forward to seein' you around that 'next time'."<br/><br/>She'd mentioned it, he had no trouble bringing it back up with a little grin. He had no idea about her happy ending offer, but if it meant anything to Tellus, anyone could see he was as hard as a rock despite the talk, and she could probably smell the desire hanging in the air even if he was behaving himself despite Celeste's go ahead. It was a little bit awkward to say "wait, I'm still horny", wasn't it?
