I blame Mina.

[Here is a Martha. Probably not a Martha as 99% of the people on this island have ever seen her, though. Reason being, she's wearing nothing but a towel, and she's hanging out in the hot springs after a couple of ibuprofen did not help the back pain she got from trying to put contact paper in the cupboards why she didn't just do this in the bathtub at home is entirely beyond the mun and she's hoping a soak in hot mineral water will do the trick.

Go ahead and poke. She will be quick to yell at pervs, though, so watch out!]

I think I'll take early retirement. [He notices, and kisses a trail from her shoulder to her neck, scraping his teeth lightly over her skin.]

Hmm-goodness! [And that might have earned him a swat, if it hadn't startled her so much.]

[Rex chuckles and reaches around to pull her to his chest]

[She leans back, although not without crossing her arms over her front to compensate for the towel first.]

[He doesn't mind that. He's not a teenage boy after all. He rather enjoys sitting quietly with her.]

[She curls into his arms, enjoying the warmth against her back that melts away the last of the aches across her shoulderblades. At last she reaches down to find his hand and slide her fingers through his, enjoying having a quiet moment to share.]

Mmm... [Rex leans back against the edge of the pool and closes his eyes] Chasing after those boys must take a lot out of you.

[She sighs and shakes her head.] I only had the one here. And he's gone. I haven't seen him in weeks. I hope he was sent back, bless him . . . Yuusei doesn't need to live a day longer than necessary in a place where he's the only child. He was already so quiet. [She squeezes his hand.]

[He squeezes back] There are always children in the world who need help.

[She lets out a short laugh.] Don't I know it.

[magnificent-god.livejournal.com]

[He kisses her neck] Your boys are lucky to have you.

[She turns slowly, not wanting to yank her back again, but finally getting around enough to kiss him back.] I like to think all my children are.
