Thread: Marooned [Kosmik_Khaos and Sigr]

Talia's sharp eyes tracked every movement Vira made. Her expression was studious, like she was watching something she had never seen before and wanted to memorize every detail. She felt a quickening of her pulse and a long forgotten warmth growing low in her belly as the girl did squats getting a feel for the pants. Without realizing Talia swallowed hard and l licked her lips to moisten them, her mouth going dry momentarily. As Vira fought to squeeze into the shirt the warmth intensified and she felt a stirring just below her navel. Unconsciously, Talia pressed her hands to her lower abdomen trying to hold back the feeling. She was blatantly staring at the young girl by this point. The way the clothing clung to the girl was most appealing and Talia could only admire the way she filled the top in a manner that she never would be able to. Suddenly her face grew a bright shade of red as a blush flooded her face and made her ears feel like they were glowing. Coughing, sputtering and tripping over her words Talia's head snapped to the ceiling. I-wha-yo-DAMNIT ARTEMIS! She yelled, almost squealed while clenching her fists to her side. You have no idea what you are talking about! She blurted out so quickly that the words sounded like one continues word more than a sentence. Face still flushed Talia glanced at Vira and felt her face grow hotter. Dropping her eyes she fought to regain composure, something that was far harder to do than normal with Artemis taunting her. Eyes still down cast she quickly stepped to Vira and took the girl's hand in her own. Food is in the galley, we will go there now and eat. She said trying to avoid looking at Vira until she could compose herself. Leading the girl out of the room she started down the corridor, the sound of their bare feet on the pleasantly cool floor echoing slightly. Again Talia's cheeks flared in color and she turned her head and hissed. I'm holding her hand so she doesn't get lost! No....Well yes, it does feel nice but that isn't the point. Uuugggh. Please leave me alone. Talia continued to walk rolling her head back and letting out a frustrated groan. You are certainly in a mood today. Talia stumbled and choked having to stop a moment and cough. I most certainly am NOT! She said in a stern matter of fact tone. I don't care what your scans say, you are wrong. Just shhhhhh. Please. Her tone took on a begging quality in the last words. Turning to face Vira she gave her a sheepish smile. Sorry, Artemis is being very...cheeky right now. The galley is not far. Resuming their trek towards food Talia kept her eyes forward and forced herself not to glace over at Vira, that didn't stop her from thinking about it, or considering the feel of Vira's hand in her own. A few minutes of walking, several turns and finally they arrived at the main galley. Leading Vira to one of the many empty tables she let go of the girls hand and drew out a chair for her. Have a seat. Turning to go collect their food Mr. Tsulo waved one of six meaty arms at her. Sit Cap'n. This be meh galley an' I ein't haven' ye git yer o' food. Mr. Tsulo spoke in a deep basso as he walked over two the dou. He was a huge creature, easily eight feet tall, his skin a mottled green. His face was near completely flat and his eyes seemed to small for his head while his mouth was too large. Sitting the plates of steaming food down in front of the them with utensil beside he eyed Vira for a moment, his wide flat nose flaring. Ye be new 'ere lass. W'come 'board, ye can call me Tsulo. 'Ope you 'njoy yer meal. Nodding his head to her he lumbered off. Food as I promised. Talia said finally able to look at Vira again now that the raging blush on her face had dissipated to a light pink glow high on her cheeks. Lifting a fork she began to skewer food onto it before bringing it to her mouth where she blew on it twice before moving it past her lips. Wrapping her lips around the prongs of the fork she pulled it out slowly with a dreamy look of satisfaction on her face as she slowly chewed. Mr. Tsulo was a prized member of her crew, in all her travels she never met a soul that could bring out the flavor in anything they made like he could.
