No, my home didn't have lemons... I've tried them here, though, they're really nice for cooking...

[Peel set aside, she sets to digging out the tough leaves on top before carefully cutting the slippery fruit in her hand, setting most aside to take one piece and cut the more bitter center from it. Done, she offers it to him to try, her palm a bit slippery from the process.]

Here- I hope you like it...

[If it wasn't already obvious she was country folk... Oh, no, she should have asked him to bring plates and picks.. Too late!]

[He's lived months at a time with sailors, and relished it. You're in good company, Konoha!

He takes one, making a surprised sound as it slips in his fingers, but finally manages to get a hold of it, biting down into the sweet, dense flesh, and making a sound of both surprise and approval. It's not quite what he expected, but--]

It's quite good! Not as sweet as I thought, but still...what an interesting taste!

[Konoha is a simple woman, with simple pleasures, and even as flustered as she is to see a man that she'd... basically tricked into mating with her, that she'd drained of his blood and life force in a clearing of the Groves while knowing nothing about him but his name and the things she learned about his body in the act...

She likes it when people enjoy her food, even if it's just her persimmons she hasn't done a single thing to.]

Mmm, I really like them... they're filling, and the taste is good...

[She quickly cuts the centers from a few more of the slices, offering those up to him as well in both hands, even as she stutters into something she... really should have done the second he walked in the door.]

Master Ianchus, you have to let me apologize again...

[She'd done it via text, sure, but-]

I- I really don't do things like that normally, I swear... I- I lied about my husband biting me, and tricked you, but you still took... took really good care of me... even though you said you didn't like horse things...

["Care" is what she's going to call the words they'd exchanged that... might still echo in her head sometimes in the middle of the night.]

[Mmmh, this again, ah?

He sighs, taking the last piece from her and chewing it thoughtfully, letting her get those apologies out.]

I used to go on expeditions, to far-off, unknown places. I had to do plenty of things I didn't like. Of course you lied to me, but you were not yourself, did you not?

I understand that the situation was...quite intense for those affected. And the hunger was true, was it not? I...hm.

[He runs his tongue over his thumb, glancing to his side, furrowing his brows thoughtfully. He thinks about it often, Yusuke's angry words to him, the pain in his eyes--But even with that in mind, the abyss at the edge of her fangs had been tempting.]

You know... I am quite grateful that even despite being possessed with that insatiable hunger you stopped before I was fully drained. I heard some others were not so lucky...does that not show that, at your heart, you are a kind woman?

[Well, he's right about one thing. She was a kind woman, that's why she can't just let herself off the hook as easily as it seemed everyone else was willing to. Even if she'd been affected... she'd been weak enough in the first place to get possessed, plus, it had still been her body doing all those things...]

I wasn't, but- I... I lied and said my husband drained me, but I'm the one who drained him...

[In. This room, actually, in a very, very lewd way, and the memory makes her weird-feeling human thighs press together with a little squirm as she lowers her head with contrition. Not just her husband, but... her writing teacher... a friend... this man, who she'd just found...]

And- And the hunger was real, it was, but... I wasn't being kind when I didn't drain you all the way... I wish I was...

[That squirm grows just a bit more noticeable as she forces herself to admit the next part, fussing with wiping persimmon juice from her hands on her apron.]

I was... I was thinking "oh, he's... really good at sex and says lots of interesting things... so maybe I could use him for another meal again later..."

[Not the... kindest motive...]

[He's trying to be understanding and gentle, but there's only so much...and when she says that, his eyes light up immediately, his own cheeks flushing in absolute pleasure.]

Oh? To shower me with such compliments on a first meeting... I really must have made a nice impression, ah?

[Though his expression turns serious for a brief moment--]

Your husband...is he...alright?

[She'd thought it during their first meeting, once or twice... maybe a few times more than that, but- Oh. Maybe... maybe he really was a perverse sort of man, to call those compliments and a nice impression...

It certainly doesn't help the ruddy color on her cheeks, though she does seem torn between either weeping or blushing. Maybe both?]

Gonta's fine now... thank you...

[The most important part first... her husband had recovered thanks to the other jinba stallion in Lunatia finding him when Konoha had been out hunting other prey, (thank goodness). She'd sent him off on errands to meet Ianchus alone, and so to at least give the man a decent idea... she waves idly at a picture sat in pride of place on a wardrobe against the wall, taken with one of those fancy Lunatian cameras. Of her and said husband.]

I- I don't know if... I mean... "nice impression"... ? I-

[Still wondered where his balls had gone??? Had put his cock in her mouth when she'd never, ever done that with anyone else before? (Okay, that one was because her husband's wouldn't fit, but-)

She stutters for something to say, twisting her apron into knots.]

I was... really glad... at the time... that you were... good...

Edited 2020-11-28 14:40 (UTC)

[He follows her gaze and nods slightly, almost approvingly--so that's her husband? My...what a handsome man.]

I'm glad, then. As long as you're all safe. As for me...well, if I could please you. To be honest, Miss Konoha...

[He takes a breath, looking as if he must impart difficult news to her...]

It felt quite good when you bit me. I fear I've a taste for things like that. You see, I really was the snake in your garden, all along.

[Anyone who agrees that her husband is the most handsome jinba in the world (or definitely Lunatia) is smart, if you ask Konoha...

But he sounds like he's about to say something really somber, and so she leans closer without realizing it, her hands stopping with her apron fussing to fist in her kimono over her knees, but what he says-

Looks like she's choosing blushing over crying.]

M- Master Ianchus...

[The snake comment takes her mind... very obviously back to that rather pleasurable moment, the things she'd said, the things he'd said... ]

You shouldn't... you shouldn't let jinba bite you... we have- We have really sharp teeth, even when we aren't chromferatu things!

[As if to demonstrate, she reaches up to pull her lip up and flash some... very sharp canines.]

I- I'm probably the snake, actually- ! You should just let ladies with flat teeth bite you... !

[Biting Safety 101?]

Now, now, what's the fun in that, ah? I've had so many flat-toothed women bite me I could write an entire book about it...no, I think I quite enjoyed your bites. So nice and sharp, I could feel them going into my flesh...

[He lets his fingers press at the muscular section between his neck and shoulder, smiling to himself, as if remembering a fond lover's kiss.]

All Jinba have such teeth, you say? My, that's dangerous. I could become an addict.

[Okay, so... he really was much more experienced, she'd gotten that impression, but. There might be some steam coming out of her ears soon, the way he's talking now is so like how he had in the groves clearing...

And that had. Certainly set her off then. Chromferatu or not.]

Y- You really should be careful... biting is... well, biting is nice sometimes but don't let people drain you just because it feels good... !

[And belatedly-]

We do, but- But don't get any ideas, alright? Besids, Gonta is mostly mine! And- well, Mikuni is single, but-

[Wait, that's not what she means to say-]

Aaah?

[That favorite syllable of his drawled out fiendishly.]

Your husband's friend, yes? Well well... I am no poacher, but if you or your husband's single friend or any other of your jinba friends are in need of assistance, they can call on Ianchus Cepheos, ah?

[Though he dials it back a little a moment later, giving her a breath at least.]

I do try to be careful, though. You needn't worry on my part.

[Her husband's very handsome some would say more-beautiful-than-handsome friend... Though, admittedly, still very jinba and equine coded below the waist, but- But- Trying to find Mikuni moonlacing partners isn't what she's supposed to be doing right now!

It's a good thing he gives her a bit of a breather though, because she almost short-circuited for a second there, gesturing helplessly, red-faced...

Before she just slumps over on her cushion, feeling very hot under the collar all of a sudden.]

Oh... how am I supposed to let Master Ianchus teach me how to walk now...

[She's just going to be thinking lewd things the whole time, this isn't fair...............]

Ah, I've been misbehaving... I do apologize. What a rude guest I am.

[And then he drops his sneaky tone completely, going back to the normal light voice]

I do promise I'll behave. We do need to get you up and walking, don't we? You've a farm to run.

[She can't even chastise him for being a rude guest when she's being such a poor host............ and also drank his blood.

But she does stay slumped over in semi-defeat just a bit longer to try and hide how red her face is (though she betrays herself, with an up-do that bares how red her ears are also).]

R- Right... But when I don't think about, I try to move like I'm used to and fall over... but then when I do think about it I think too hard and everything feels so weird...

[He's not much of a teacher, really, but...well, he does consider her words, tilting his head slightly.]

Yes...it's usually a matter of muscle memory, isn't it? Well...we'll see what we can do with you...oh! Do you...have anything like a cane? Or any sort of staff...?

["Muscle memory"... Sounds smart!]

Um... not a proper cane, but... we have a stick for planting? It's not very thick, though...

[For poking... seed holes.]

Thicker might be better for supporting your weight, but...well, we shall see is as it comes.

First things first, your shoes... [He glances over to where they are by the door, then back at her.]

Ah, are you ready to begin?

[Oh, she'd get to try putting shoes on... ! Even though she'd protested at accepting something so nice, she was kind of excited to see how that would feel. And hopefully, it would protest her weirdly sensitive and soft soles?]

Y... es, please.

[Defeated in one arena but determined in another, Konoha holds out her hands to ask for his help standing up.]

I think it might be easier with the shoes. I got you a pair with ankle support...though I think I read somewhere that feet are meant to balance us out too. Here.

[He takes her hands, helping her up, then offers his arm.]

You can lean on me, ah?

[Ankle support also sounds smart... and admittedly, she knows how to put on straw sandals, she's helped her parents put theirs on on days when their joints hurt in the winter,but she's never... laced a boot, so.]

Thank you...

[She really should be treating him... these dang human legs!!!

But she does take his arm to make it to the entranceway and the shoes, her steps careful and a bit awkward, stepping as if she expected each one might end up on broken glass.]

Try to step with the ball of your foot, first...we usually walk with our heels, but I hear that stepping with the front half will give more balance.

[He leads her easily, only letting go when he thinks she's ready to sit down on the edge of the porch with him.]

[She at least is very open to advice... she switches from stepping with... kind of her whole foot at once to trying to step with the ball of her foot first. It soooooort of helps, it seems?

And she even manages to get onto her butt in front of the new shoes! Okay... she should... put her toes in first... ?]

I've only ever seen straw or wooden sandals in my world... oh, or runner's tabi, we don't have these boot things...

Oh, wait, here, these first--

[He reaches into the box, pulling out a pair of thick socks, offering them to her.]

Those are good, but I figured it would be better to put these on first... put those on. Meanwhile...

[He gently trades the socks for one of her shoes, starting to loosen the laces.]

These are more work to put on than sandals [Not as much as his own shoes, though] but they're good in cold weather. And they'll brace your ankles, like I said.

[Oh, not shoes first! Socks! She knows this shape of them from Lunatia at least, even if she’s used to far different fabric and separation of the toes in what she calls “socks”. At least they’re easy to get on, comparatively... though she has to suppress a weird, ticklish giggle as she slides the fabric over her soles.]

R- right... feet get cold really easy... I mean- My hooves got cold too, but... not the same way... even the wood floors here feel cold now...

[Such sensitive things, feet!!! But she now has two to present to him now bundled in their socks, toes curling curiously as she watches him work the shoe laces.]
