[ Giving him one of those disapproving little stares... ]
I was hoping you'd learn to control yourself, at least a little.
[ That's very pointedly not a no, but still. She can't let him get away with doing that to her every night or she'd never be able to get anything else done...! ]
Unless you don't want to come take another bath with me...? I was going to wash your back and your hair and everything. But if you'd rather stay here, I can just go by myself...
[ She's even moving towards the edge of the bed like she really does intend to... ]
[ Someone has to fight for Ai's ability to stay productive, and it may as well be Ai.
With that said, as Ai moves to the edge of the bed... all of a sudden, Oberon is right there next to her, having moved with almost embarrassing speed. ]
Oi, oi... I never said that.
[ He's not looking forward to it, shut up. ]
Besides, aren't you the one whose hair is in need of washing right now?
[ ... okay it's at least a little bit her fault for going so far and for getting him so riled up in the first place, b-but... he could've at least warned her...! ... ugh, and even though she's way more obviously a mess, he's also...
She reaches over, trying very, very hard not to think about exactly who left him in a state like that, gently strokes a loose hanging lock of his hair back behind his ear. ]
Maybe I'll feel up to forgiving you if you wash it for me. Otherwise, I might have second thoughts about doing that for you again.
[ Considering how he was just earlier so against her even looking at that part of him, he really shouldn't be so proud of his handiwork... but he is. He's extremely proud. Yes, it IS his fault that she looks so debauched right now. It was all him. You're welcome.
In any case, as she brings her hand up to his face, he brings his up to gently cup her chin... claw stroking gently against her sore jaw. ]
Please, you couldn't get enough of it... [ A pause. ] But it's the least I can do.
The least you could do is be a little gentler with me next time. I'm delicate, don't forget.
[ says the girl who was pushing herself far more than he was...
But she tilts her hand into his touch like a cat or a bunny being pet. Even after all the ways he'd had his hands all over so many parts of her body, it's always the gentle touches to her face that really make her soften. Really... any time he uses those claws of his to be gentle with her, it takes her warmly by surprise all over again. ]
So will you be gentle with me for the rest of the night, at least?
[ His claw rests at her chin, tilting her head up so that he can lean down to kiss her. His nose twitches, taking note of how his scent so thoroughly covers her now. It tickles his senses in a good way... confirmation of his mark on her.
When he pulls away, he grins... and reaches down to scoop her into his arms to carry her to the bath. ]

But alright... gentle it is, then.
