Tales of a Child Eternal [NSFW]

[Helene Dakesh]

"No," they say, quietly. "Due to our reincarnation cycles, every Samsaran is pureblooded. Merikos live only once." 

[Tethras Clan]

"Huh. Interesting," Zevran comments, flashing a smile up at Helene. That said, he reaches for their hips to pull the oracle closer again. "Would you like to continue?" he asks gently.

[Helene Dakesh]

They tug just a little back, away from his hands. "Would you?" Their eyes search his face, desperate, looking for answers in a text they struggle to read at the best of times. 

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran frowns for just a second, then his eyes widen and he winces. "Yes. I'm sorry Helene, I forgot you need the words spoken plainly to be sure. I do wish to continue. I want you to feel good, to feel the pleasure flesh can offer. I want you to enjoy your body as best you can, even if it's not the shell you would wish for." Not the shell... something about that... "I want you to be... content and more than content."

[Helene Dakesh]

"And it doesn't.. bother you?" they ask, slowly. "Only, I mean, if it does, I do not... lust to the same extent Sharran did. I will not suffer if we stop." 

[Tethras Clan]

"It..." Zevran takes a moment, then shrugs. "It does not excite me overly much, but it does not repel me either," he offers baldly. "I do wish to continue."

[Helene Dakesh]

They let out a long breath, shoulder slumping in clear relief. "Thank you," they whisper. "This one will-- No," they say, recalling some of the conversations. "I will not be in your debt. I will appreciate your gift." They open their eyes again, looking at Zevran for confirmation. "Correct?" 

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran beams at them. "Very correct, mon sage plaisir," he says warmly. "Shall we continue then?" he asks, waggling his eyebrows.

[Helene Dakesh]

They nod. "Yes. This one-- I would like to continue." 

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran gives Helene a curious look. "Is that habit or do you honestly feel more comfortable with 'this one over the word 'I'?"

[Helene Dakesh]

"Habit, primarily. Also... when speaking of... my body, or my current incarnation as opposed to the other incarnations I have been or will be, I tend to use 'this one' as well. This specific one, separate from myself." 

[Tethras Clan]

"I can see the logic of that," Zevran says after a moment. "But we're getting off... topic," he says, deftly shifting so the pop of the 'p' causing his lips to brush a nipple. Looking up at their face, he asks, "do you want me to avoid touching... anywhere or should I just please you?"

[Helene Dakesh]

"I..." They bite their lower lip, then shake their head. "I do not often look at myself. But I have not encountered touching that was not.. acceptable." 

[Tethras Clan]

"Okay," Zevran says gently. "Remember, tell if I do something you do or don't like." He resumes lavishing attention on their nipples while he shifts one hand to cup their bum. With the other, he starts to stroke their right upper thigh.

[Helene Dakesh]

"It..." they begin, reaching for words. "Was nice a little rougher."
