The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Jassinth]

Jass takes a deep, sobering, breath. "Rule," he tries to explain, then shakes his head. "Sorry. Kiss me again when we're both sober but..."

[Shiori]

Shiori blushes, glancing down at their laps. "Can we still kiss?"

[Jassinth]

Jass bites his lip, thinking that over. "Okay," he finally decides. I'm going to have to piss soon, so that'll break us up before anything can get out of hand, he figures. 

[Shiori]

"Excellent."


The next morning, Jass is up fairly early -- his biological clock doesn't care much for these late nights -- but Shiori stays in bed hours past when she usually arrives, and when she slinks out of her bedroom, she looks rough. 

[Jassinth]

Without a word, Jass holds out a glass of mostly transparent red fluid with one hand and two berry-sized twists of leaves in the other. He, in contrast, looks perfectly chipper and hale. Well, aside from the bandage on his forehead. Bandage?

[Shiori]

Shiori consumes what she's given without even blinking at it. "Head?" she asks, gesturing a little with her chin before wincing. 

[Jassinth]

"The herbs will help with that, yes," Jass murmurs softly, nodding. "The drink is just a very nutritious juice blend really. Come, sit, and let that get to work while I make you some oatmeal and tea, alright?"

[Shiori]

Shiori plods along a few steps before the confusion registers. "Nn. Yer head. Wh'happun?" 

[Jassinth]

"Ah!" Jass winces a little. "Death-Strikes-From-Above is not a morning eagle," he grumbles. 

[Shiori]

"Bet," Shiori says with a small grin and a wince. She has a seat at the kitchen table, not the breakfast bar -- too easy to fall off a barstool. 

[Jassinth]

"Your sister and Dreamy are out hunting but I've not seen your other sister... or your mother," Jass catches Shiori up as he fills a bowl. "Honey? Berries, nuts, seaweed, mushrooms..?"

[Shiori]

"Seaweed and mushrooms and nuts, please," says Shiori. "Seiya won't have been allowed to stay the night, but Ayaka is probably up at the main house, and Mother is.... actually, I would expect her to be in bed, but who knows now that she's done the Ritual." A pause. "That wasn't a drunk dream, was it? That was real?"

[Jassinth]

"Lightning."

[Shiori]

Shiori grimaces. "Okay. Okay. So. The rest was probably a dream though." 

[Jassinth]

"Are you sober?"
