Ghost looked down at Plum, thankful for her presence. This wasn't the first time he'd asked her to distract him, or vice versa, but it was the first time he'd needed it so badly. Too many things were happening too fast, what with Kai and the human, and Brie's sudden independence.<br/>Perhaps, though, he was simply not admitting to himself that it wasn't sex he needed, but rather the night nymph herself. She was a permanent (or as permanent as one could be in their line of work) part of his life, but wasn't his. That realization bothered him, but he couldn't figure out why.<br/>It ceased to matter, though, when Plum's soft, warm lips wrapped around his hard member and his head tilted back in bliss.<br/><br/>Thyme laughed at Brie's posh voice and sat. He spoke with a smile. "Do I need an occasion to dote on my girlfriend? You're special to me, so you deserve a special night, right?"<br/>He smiled again and began to eat, yellow eyes roving over Brie's face and body. "So beautiful." He said softly.<br/><br/>"What happened to your back?" Came Mira's voice as she walked into the kitchen.<br/>Kai looked up from the eggs he was scrambling. "Hmm? Oh, the scars. They're just souvenirs I've acquired over the years, mostly from training or botched jobs. I could shift them away, but shifting on a cellular level is draining, so I only do it in emergencies."<br/>He smiled at her apologetically. "I am sorry for cuddling up to you. I'm not used to someone sharing my sleeping space. I'll try to keep to my side tonight.<br/>"Sausage as well?" He asked, pleased when she nodded, though her expression seemed confused. "Listen, last night was...an anomaly. I don't lose my temper like that much...I guess the situation got under my skin." That was all Kai would say about it, and he went about making breakfast in silence, looking back at her a couple times, his pale green eye soft. It was as though he was really looking at her for the first time.
