[ itchy... uncomfortable? she's so cute. he takes that hand and rests it on his chest, over the casing of his heart. ]
Yeah. Didn't feel like he was lyin' about it at all. I thought the same thing, 'bout goin' from metal to metal. Don't know a thing about bein' a Reliver, what the drawbacks are 'n such.
[ he thinks for a moment before looking back at her. ]
All I know is that I want what we got last Wednesday night. And if I get lucky enough, I wanna grow old with ya'. Don't care how I get it or who I gotta find to do it.
[itchy uncomfortable!! she rests her hand where he places it, tracing her fingers over the metal.]
I'll ask him more about the specifics. He's said he'll do whatever I ask, so it should be easy. [she kind of vaguely wonders if he offered boothill the chance because of her, but that feels too egotistical and so she doesn't say it.
as for the rest, she - funnily enough - flushes a little darker red? and leans down to steal a kiss because that last bit flusters her. he's so genuine and it's cute... it gets her every time.]
Yeah. I want that too. [...] Gods, I want that more than anything. A life full of - well, Wednesday nights.
[ boothill isn't surprised. karlach likely has plenty of those people in this place.
one of the conditions of scien's deal was "make karlach happy," so she was at least part of the reason... the rest of it seemed to be scien acting on his own principles.
but that flush of red quickly takes all of his attention. his eyelids fall shut and tilts his head to meet her kiss, his heartbeat leaping under her palm. when she draws back, he grins at her, lifting his other hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. ]
Whatever the lady wants, she gets. [ he sinks his fingers in her hair, drawing it back even more from her face. ] Not just 'cause I want it too.
[ he takes another kiss, shorter this time. ]
I'm thinkin' we should get off the floor here, maybe find somewhere else to chat.
I don't know how! I'm just nice to him... maybe that's why.
[all that affection, the fingers in her hair, makes her want to not get up off the floor, but she will! reluctantly, since she doesn't want him to stop, but he's right, they shouldn't just spoon on the ground in the middle of the mall. so. when he pulls away from the kiss, she absently runs her fingers over her bottom lip, still red. her tail swishes across the floor, and she leans over him to grab for his hat.
and puts it on her own head, minding her horns so she doesn't hurt it.]
Oh, right. Off the floor it is. [a beat.] Wait - I had something I wanted to give you, so we can go there?
[ he doesn't want to leave it either, but it would be better to have her snug on a couch or in bed somewhere if they're going to be sappy at each other. he enjoys that flushed look while he still has it, and he nearly presses another kiss over her fingertips.
but fine, he's getting to his feet. he laughs once she puts his hat on her head again. ]
We gotta cut some holes in there, or at least get ya' your own. You still wear it better than me.
I'd wear a hat. You think I look good with one? I've always thought it was a little silly with the horns.
[laces their hands together, leading him off. off towards elysium, though she's careful because i rolled a one against the big daddies yesterday and she JUST promised she wouldn't go dying left and right.]
Aw, I forgot you could see that. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been thinking of you. [...] Tempted to throw another party just to see you in a suit again.
[off they go - to the little tea room/garden place. she pauses when they're actually in it because she likes it here. it's green, and she always misses green.]
Yeah. You've seen - well, sort of, you've seen the Hells. This is the exact opposite. [tugs him over to one of the tables, and picks up bouquet that looks sort of like this but way less professional. she hesitates, and then:]
I feel like I should know your favorite flowers, and I'm sorry if you hate these, but --
[ boothill is utterly stunned. he looks dumbly at the bouquet, heart stopping and starting. then he takes the bundle as the warmest smile widens over his mouth. he turns it, looking over every blooms. ]
Karlach, this... I got no idea what to say.
[ he laughs softly. it's obvious, but he's never received a bouquet before in his life—nothing more than the daisies and dandelions handed to him by his orphaned siblings, by a little baby who crumpled them in her hands and smeared them in his palm.
it doesn't matter that these aren't professional. it's better that it isn't, in fact. he looks at karlach with that soft smile, chest full of warmth. ]
Who's the charmer now, huh? C'mere, beautiful.
[ he carefully keeps the bouquet in hand as he sinks his fingers in her hair and pulls her down for a deep, heavy, meaningful kiss. ]
[she'd stood in this room trying her best to make something - she's not a very creative person, built for destruction as she is. haven't got a delicate bone in my body, she'd said to those who watched her try. but she wanted to push herself to make something pretty for someone else, something to balance out all the things she's had to break. a chance to be gentle and sweet, after years of being incapable of it. she thinks maybe both of them deserve that.
boothill looks up at her with that look on his face and she knows that it was silly to be nervous almost immediately. when he pulls her in, she settles in close, hands on his face, kissing him easy and slow, heart thudding in her ears. kisses him until she's breathless, and then pulls back just enough to rest her forehead against his.]
Oh, good, you like them. [she jokes, grinning.] Love you.
[her tail is just wriggling, she can't help herself.]
[ he loves her tail wiggles. he loves everything about her, actually. he follows that string of long, sweet kisses until the very end of it, when he's spent all the breath in his metal lungs and she's got her forehead up against his, warm as anything.
he keeps a careful hand on his bouquet as he wraps his arm around her and draws her in. once she's within reach, he softly kisses her jaw and neck and collarbone. ]
I love you too. You know that.
[ he murmurs back, nosing into her neck. he smiles. ]
Imagine sayin' I don't like 'em. Gale and Astarion would strike down where I stand, and I'd be lyin' my behind off anyhow. Now I gotta find some way to get back at ya'.
[the comment about gale and astarion makes her laugh, her head tilted to the side so he can kiss wherever he wants.]
They're so funny - I hope you don't mind too much, they're just protective. You tell me if they're too much, I'll whack them. [her dumb boys... fond.] Anyway, get me back however you'd like. I bet you can think of something.
[she noses at him to steal another kiss, and then just like - sways them back and forth? a little like an impromptu slow dance. when she's happy, she really can't stop moving. she wants to explore more eventually, but she's taking advantage of every single one of these moments.]
[ he sways with her happily, laughing softly. he sets the bouquet back onto its table and wraps both arms around her, leading them in a circle. they're getting better at this. ]
he lets that sweet song soak in as they move, sometimes keeping his cheek on her shoulder, other times pressing light kisses to her neck. he could fall asleep as they are, but he stays awake to hear every sound.
at the end of it, he kisses her throat. ]
Don't know what you're on about, sayin' you can't sing. You've got a voice like birdsong, gorgeous as you are.
[she likes feeling him relax the longer she holds him, bringing a hand up to stroke through his hair absently. sleepy means he's comfortable, and that warms her in a way she can't express.]
You are biased, handsome. [she says, amused.] But thanks. Haven't forgotten you promised to play guitar, either, I want to see that.
Maybe teach me how? Or show me how to carve better, I've been working on it.
[ they're just going to be here like this for hours if she keeps this up....
right after we lost you hits him right where it hurts, but that's not her fault. he lifts his head, holds her chin, and presses a slow kiss against her lips. ]
...I am sorry I made you do what you did in that graveyard.
[ he runs his thumb over her cheek. ]
I'd take it back if I could. Find some other way. I don't know.

If I'm bein' honest... it sounds way too forkin' good to be true. Tryin' to see if there ain't some catch to it. I hardly know the guy.
[ he looks up at the ceiling. delulu... ]
He said he ain't expectin' nothin' back either. Just gotta wait until this cult mess is over with, is all.
no subject
That's sort of what I thought. Too good to be true. And it made me feel itchy, but - I mostly didn't want to go from one metal heart to another.
[silence, for a second.]
I really don't think he'd be fucking with you on this. He's a shit, but he's an honest shit.
[this is said a little fondly.]
I guess the real question is would you go for it, if it was real. That's all your decision, love, it's your body.
