Ow.<br/><br/>No, really, OW.<br/><br/>Midnight grunted as he crashed with Taskill on his way to the room, wasting no time in disengaging and scrambling back to his feet. That certainly wouldn't have happened in his true form!  By then he had put on his vest, but it still had all the buttons to go, and he caught the Ghillie Dhu by the arm as he spoke. It wasn't too often that they were this close, and by now the alicorn-man had come to trick his own mind to think of Taskill more like a female than a colt -- skittish and ready. When he flirted with him that way, though, it only made things harder. Ebony skin doesn't have a way to redden, but it can burn all the same, and his cheeks did in ways his normal flesh would never have.<br/><br/>He did indeed smell of sex, and he knew it. A shower would take care of that in a minute, though, so he started to skirt Taskill's side to head to his room instead, holding the other's eyes with his own.<em>Summoned.</em>he thought, and a shudder went through his spine as he nodded once. A hand held forward, open in a request for time, and Midnight ignored the rest to dash into his room and the shower, caring not at all for its freezing temperature. Better that way, in any case, less of a chance to get hard again.<br/><br/>It wasn't long, granted, just enough to wash her off of himself and dry before getting his clothes; he had grown used to them finally -- besides, it was much harder for them to get hold of him if he had to go through a few layers while he fought them. Today, however, fighting was not likely to be on the menu. Thinking about Byrn always made his skin crawl with mixed feelings. Hatred, hunger, and denial; a hell of a lot of denial. The faint song continued through the walls. Midnight couldn't tell exactly how it made him feel, but it did make him feel /something./ Something that didn't really have a place in this castle.<br/><br/>He was going to be late, or close, so he ran. It was a pitiful ran, but the best he could handle in this shape. Up the stairs, and into the master's bedroom at long last.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
