Blood from Stone [AU]

[Carver Amell]

"Uh. What Merrill said," says Carver, absently. 

[Tethras Clan]

Merrill nods. "Yeah, four bouts a week, 'side from the beginning anyway."

[Bethany]

"That sounds about right for me as well..." Beth seems to fidget a little. Should I mention... no, Helene said this is about how often you've worked out to have sex with your partner. 

[Helene Dakesh]

"Question eleven: how often would you prefer to copulate given infinite time and access to willing partners, with no pressure from your partner?"

[Jassinth]

"I am content with the amount of sex I get," Jass replies easily. "Two bouts a day with the occasional weekend, ah, indulgence is fine."

[Bethany]

"Um."

[Tethras Clan]

Merrill waits a moment for Beth to finish... or even start, really, but eventually decides to answer while she thinks over whatever is making her hesitate. "I was happy with that much sex," she says softly. "I mostly... I liked the cuddling. I mean, I liked both but... I'd miss the cuddles more, if Beth didn't let me sleep with her sometimes. I wish it could be all the time but..."

[Marian Hawke]

Liz stares down at her parchment, tears welling up behind her eyes. Freak. I'm a freak. What am I even doing? I'm more sexual than anyone but the drow. And even then, I'm more so than Cindy, and she's gotta be mixed.

[Bethany]

Beth takes a deep breath. Honest. I should be honest. Tuiste is trusting us to help with their research. I can't lie or... "Ummm. Well. I..." She licks her lips. "Okay, four bouts a week is kind of incorrect, maybe? I mean, Don... he's catfolk. He's not... able to... but he can... assist me. So... that counts, I think. But, umm, I... solo about twice a day or so. And-I-wouldn't-mind-more." She finishes with a mumble, blushing. 

[Marian Hawke]

Liz glances up, startled. "H-hey, we, we match again," she stammers, her urge to protect her sister's delicate feelings trumping her own feelings of isolation.

[Bethany]

Twisting around a bit, Bethany looks up with a startled, then pleased look. "R-really? I... I always kind of thought..." She smiles. "Neat."

[Marian Hawke]

"I... I'm... I'm abnormal," she says, softly. "But I g-guess we both are?"

[Jassinth]

"Not so very abnormal," Jass protests. "I am not the only one I know, without nymph blood mind you, that can keep up with my efforts."

[Marian Hawke]

"Yeah, but you're drow," snaps Liz. "I'm an elf, it's... it's different. Elves don't... we don't fuck as much as humans, even. And throw in I'm female and..."

[Bethany]

Bethany stiffens. "Liz! Jass's blood is no reason for him to be shamed or insulted!"
