[Even now, she isn't sure she'd consider it trust so much as a mutual understanding. Long as she's here, she makes the most out of a shitty situation, but it also comes at the cost of not really belonging anywhere. But that's hardly anything new to her -- she'd always been alone that she got used to that, too. So much so that she surprised herself with the particular selection she'd taken interest in during her aforementioned visit to a "novelty" store.]
Well, ah...
[Rey pauses, rubbing the back of her neck at first before holding her arms out, offering to take the basket from Konoha. If they're talking about this now, then she wants to stay busy. Help!]
Th-there's a lot more stuff, for... for couples. That... That both women can... enjoy, at the same time. [Because she can't say that she didn't feel something when she had felt good while making Konoha feel good, but the harness didn't seem equipped for mutual pleasure. Rey hadn't expected that there would be kinds that are.
[Lunatia is a weird place. Everyone is so open about these things, and Rey is still getting accustomed to it all despite having been here for a year now.]
no subject
For a moment, Konoha hesitates to hand over the laundry basket, because... then what's she going to do? But well, the clothesline is just in sight, she can pin when they get there... and also she needs her hands suddenly. So Rey gets the laundry basket and Konoha gets to give her thoughts away again fussing with her apron.]
At the same time...
[She had felt a bit guilty about needing to take turns... or, not guilty, because she'd been good and made sure to keep things even, but... things like that were just better when you did them together, weren't they? Konoha hasn't ever been inside one of those shops, though, and the image this conjures up for her is...
Awkwardly, she holds up both of her index fingers and sort of... holds them close together in a vague "v" shape, looking at Rey quizzically for confirmation.
Like that???]
no subject
[Grateful to at least have something to hold, she takes the basket from Konoha with ease, carrying on like there hasn't been an exchange of weight or bulk whatsoever. It's clear Rey could do a lot more than just that and she's eager to do something with herself again.
[Squinting at the gesture Konoha makes with her fingers, it takes a beat before Rey interprets the unspoken meaning.]
Oh! It's... Kind of? More like...
[Okay, how would she describe this to herself if she were more technologically illiterate.]
They've got d... dildos, that go both ways. And, ah... harnesses, like the one you had, but with an... extra thing on the strap, for the wearer to... feel things, too. You know, during...
[You know.]
no subject
Still blushing with ruddy cheeks, Konoha looks back down at her hands and tries to rearrange her fingers. Okay... she ends up with her index fingers now parallel to the ground, pointing in the opposite direction. So like...
...]
So like... you both get to be the girl at the same time?
[The 1620's didn't give her the most sexually liberated vocabulary, but. Surely the point still gets across? Don't make her say "you both get to be penetrated at the same time"!!!]
no subject
[Fortunately, Rey gets the gist of it, even when Konoha is using a really outdated way of looking at it. She just sucks in a sharp breath at first.
[It's okay, it's okay, Konoha's just a product of her era or whatever. She doesn't mean anything, by it.]
S... Something like that, sure.
[Save the soapboxing for another day.]
Haven't tried anything like that myself, but it seemed... interesting. [Yeah. Let's go with "interesting".]
no subject
And at the very least... this is Konoha. It's pretty obvious she doesn't mean anything bad by her awkward phrasing, she's just used to thinking of gender roles a certain way, even when it came to relations between the same sex. ... And considering what had happened last time Rey visited the farmstead, well. She was obviously perfectly accepting of the deed itself, even if it wasn't her natural inclination.]
Interesting...
[Curiosity, though... She can't deny feeling that.]
Y- yeah, I guess- I mean... If you're going to do it... It's always better if you do it together, so... it's good those things exist, right... ?
[But no worries, because she'll surely turn back to normal by tomorrow, right? Right?]
no subject
[Besides, it's not like Konoha has an issue with Rey's apparent preference towards women. Not that she had ever reflected on her said preference towards women before, so Lunatia had been good for one thing. Gave her a lot of time to do some soul-searching with few convenient distractions.]
Guess so...
[Silence. In an awkward attempt to build up the backbone to speak what's on the tip of her tongue, Rey bites her lower lip. Her hands are occupied, okay?]
Well, didn't get any stuff like that when I was there but, um, if you need... [Goddammit.] If your... condition hasn't changed, by tomorrow... Just... if there's no one else you can ask, or would rather be with, or whatever...?
[Fuck. Now she's the one turning redder.]
Don't... really have anyone to try those kinds of things out with, is all.
[And she's become a little more open to giving those new experiences a chance, at least once.]
no subject
Now she's on square... like. Sixty. At least, it feels that way sometimes. Because Rey says... what she says, and Konoha regrets surrendering her laundry basket because now she can only keep smoothing down her apron, fixing the ties until they finally reach the clothesline and she all but dives for some of the laundry, quick to channel her nervous energy into pinning up freshly washed kimono, loincloths, and jinba versions of hakama trousers.]
You haven't... found anyone else you like?
[She knew Rey had expressed a lot of reservations, but hadn't she done some things? Or was it a matter like her, where the few human (or in Rey's case, lady?) partners she'd had ended up leaving the city?]
I, um- If Iris is really bad... I might sleep in the storehouse, so, ah. I appreciate the offer... !
[It's not a "yes"... but it also isn't a "no". The last time (first time) she'd been with Rey... her motives had been literally the worst. Would it be kinder or crueler to do it again? But Rey did offer... she had said she'd liked it, even with... the bloodletting...]
no subject
There was... someone. [She scoffs despite herself.] Stupid, though. Wasn't even here for very long, but... we got all those memories, from what's supposed to be years from now? And it was just-- That shit felt real, you know. Being happy, for a little bit. She... She'd even proposed?
[Rey's lilt in tone sounds like a question, but not one that can be answered by anyone. She knows a lot of people had their share of future memories, of seeing themselves happier after living in this world for so long. Something Rey could never have dreamt of before. That feeling as though she'd made a home for herself here still haunts her sometimes. None of that was actually real in the end, was it?
[Absentmindedly, she keeps her attention focused on her task than looking Konoha in the eye while she speaks.]
So, um, no. Haven't really found anyone else. Not like that.
[Konoka may be willing, but Rey has concerns about coming off as needy or pitiable that she hasn't been able to let down her defenses like she had with Konoha. For someone whose skin can't even burn, she might be playing with fire when it comes to setting herself up for emotional vulnerability.
[She just nods, taking the response for what it is -- as neither a yes nor a no. So long as Konoha knows the offer stands, Rey isn't one to press the matter.]
no subject
Plus now they can not look at each other and instead pin up clothes on the line.]
Oh, those...
[She'd thought it was just a happy dream she'd had until she heard other people talking about having them too. Visions of a potential future... and she'd been happy, in that "dream". It had been exactly the future she imagined for herself, the one that felt permanently delayed the longer she stayed in Lunatia... But it means she can sympathize.]
It did feel real, didn't it...
[Konoha can still remember the feel of the infant in her arms, the sound of the older children's laughter and the sight of their smiles... how happy Gonta had looked as he taught them the lessons his own father had passed down to him, generation after generation...]
But if Rey was happy then... It means Rey can be happy. Isn't that good... ?
[At least... there could be that?]
no subject
[She grimaces, occupying her hands with the laundry as she considers Konoha's question regarding the future that so many of them shared. So she still has her own too, just like the handful of people Rey had spoken to about the subject.
[What made those memories feel more real was how wasn't all sunshine and happy times. Rey saw herself happier, sure, but she was also recovering from a series of mental breakdowns as well, and she remembers all of that just as vividly as her "fiancée".]
Guess so. [She shrugs, not feeling very persuaded.] Or it could've been just one cruel joke of something I could never have. That's... happened before, too.
[Better to be realistic than to get her hopes up. At least, that's how Rey has always seen it. Pretty sure her future therapist might've had some choice words about that outlook as well... Rey blinks hard, shaking her head.]
I don't... deserve those things... [The way she says it, it sounds more like something she's just convinced herself after being told such things for so long. After having it so ingrained into her system that she struggles to believe any different.]
no subject
Konoha has used that phrase herself in Lunatia. For all the strange happenings and all the chaotic events that plagued the city between moments of peace, however, she’s only used it once. Just once.
And after she pins the kimono in her hands to the clothesline, she fusses with her apron once more... but in a far different way than before. It isn’t the embarrassed fidgeting of a woman thinking of past sexual escapades, but a smoothing over her belly. (Look, it’s not where the child would be for her normally, but she grew up with humans, she picked up their body language... and it translates better now.)]
Lunatia has played cruel jokes before... but I don’t think that’s what those weird dreams was.
[It didn’t give them hopes for things happening right now, right here. Didn’t make a woman who desperately craved a child think that it might finally be happening only to end up birthing a plant now growing by the side of her house.
But she tries not to let it sit. It’s not about that, the words just reminded her... and she forces herself to pick up another piece of laundry.]
Don’t make me kick you, Rey. I’ve gotten better at walking but I’d probably fall over if I did that.
[They’ve been over this not deserving shit, missy!!!]
no subject
[In that, Rey could never relate. It's enough just trying to take care of her own damned self, let alone someone else. The thought terrifies her, but that's probably why people like Konoha exist.]
Never been able to stay in one place for long. Ten years seems... a bit much. [She admits with a scoff.
[It's one reason why she's never settled in one place at Lunatia. Sure, it'd be convenient, but the anxiety of getting too comfortable, too complacent, only to just lose it all eventually anyway stings too much.
[Doesn't help that two places Rey had ever considered home had been decimated by biological and chemical warfare. Could the third time be the charm? Maybe. But she doesn't want to risk cursing this place too, irrational that the thought might be.
[At Konoha's threat, Rey just side-steps away with a handful of clothes. Her face blanches as she already regrets speaking those words that had been ingrained in her skull for so long. They're not pretty things to hear out loud, for anyone. Not even for those she had hurt back home, who would've had every right to agree, but for some reason didn't.]
S... Sorry. [She runs a hand down her face, before glancing down at what turns out to be a pretty cute kimono in her hand. Freshly clean and soft in her calloused hands.
[It'd be nice to wear one of these someday, if she can ever find an excuse to...]
no subject
She doesn’t know. She tries not to think about it, really, because she knows she’s not educated enough, not creative enough, to really get a grasp on the various theories that exist about whether they’ll get home, whether they’ll remember Lunatia, whether they’ll return to the exact moment they left or not...
She just keeps pinning. And noticed Rey staring at one of her cuter kimono, a rose pink with a bit of a gradient and a single hemp leaf pattern in patches here and there.]
... people in your world don’t dress like where I’m from, right?
[It seems like a better topic, as she casually just... starts pulling a long strip of loincloth gradually out of the tangle of the freshly washed pile.]
no subject
[By the time her attention tears away from the fabric in her hand, Konoha has mercifully changed the subject. Rey stops, glancing over at her and blinks.]
Oh, um. Not... really. Seen people wear all kinds of different clothes in the cities, but nothing like this. [Pause.] And... not everyone dresses like me, either. Just prefer simple most of the time.
[For all the Asians Rey has met in Lunatia, it's a shame she never ventured into that corner of the globe before. It might've been nice to even learn some of the language and the like.]
no subject
[Thankfully, the third level had clothing more the likes she was familiar with, plus a lot of the things in that laundry basket were hand-sewn with bought fabric. She considered it practice for her inevitable arrival to her husband's home, where there was no such thing as shops or merchants or tailors.]
I think kimono are really simple. I mean, you can make them fancier with nicer fabric or fancy obi ties, but... it's just four panels and two sleeves and all straight lines. Super easy.
[And looks good on most everyone! ... Well, most everyone in her world, she's seen some different body types here, but. Rey would work well enough in it, she's sure.]
no subject
[But also, yeah, she liked the clothes and the drinks better down there.
[Rey's grim visage turns amused at the mental image of Konoha dressed like the upper level Prismals, mentally agreeing that it doesn't suit her, either.]
Mm. Had a similar problem.
[Obviously Rey favors more earthy colors more than neons and rainbows. Makes her feel less noticed when she wants to blend in, even if she's in a sea of more colorful people.
[After a moment, she pins the kimono up on the line.] Never really wore anything like these before, though. Always looked like you had to put them on a certain way and didn't know how.
[She'd seen them being offered at past events, but Rey stuck to dresses whenever she could.]
no subject
Everyone says that, but I'm not sure why. It's no harder than putting on those zipper things.
[Okay, maybe a little harder, she's just biased, but. It admittedly was only difficult if you were of a higher class trying to wear kimono more formally rather than as everyday clothing.]
I could show you how if you wanted to. Next time they have one of those festivals in Amegahara or something.
[Something to talk about that isn't whether they deserve to be happy. That isn't what she's going to do if she doesn't turn back to her centaur form by Iris.]
no subject
[Most of her pants have zippers, but it's hardly complicated. Dresses are a little more difficult to put on by yourself, especially with a physique like Rey's. Finding fancy clothes for her build can be tricky, she's found. Which is unfortunate; she doesn't mind them from time to time.
[Finishing up her end of the laundry hanging, Rey glances to Konoha, a hint of a smile on her.]
Yeah... That'd be nice, actually. [Rey doesn't advertise the fact that she likes such types of clothes and social events, but how quick she accepts the offer is... telling, probably.
[Festivals, dresses, music. They're all things Rey never participated in before this place. The future she saw might just be fake memories cruelly implanted into her head like so many others here, but she could maybe try and replace them with real ones whenever she can.
[Better than drowning in the chiding noises of her head, trying to pull her back from happiness with words of what she does and doesn't deserve. It's always easier when she has distractions which, thanks to Konoha, Rey now has. For now, anyway. She'll offer her hands around the farmstead for a little while longer, catching Konoha if she falls while trying to do her normal chores.
[Eventually, she'll excuse herself back into the city. Her offer still stands if Konoha's... condition lasts much longer, but Rey doesn't suspect she will.]
2 nights later.......................
But that leaves her in the midst of an Iris cycle with parts she isn't used to... and an offer.]
