WHO: Sheep!
WHERE: The Pasture!
WHEN: 102 Morning-Afternoon!

[HELLOOOO SHEEP, that certainly was a fairly pleasant demon ritual last night! And you know what, aside from one of the moons disappearing (,,,,,), things are going pretty swell!

Until the next morning.

Those who are out in the meadow beyond the fence, may notice that some mist wolves are actually breaking through the mist. You can now encounter wolves just, out there in the meadow. They are slightly weaker not being in their element, but can cause problems all the same.

The fence. . .also, abruptly, starts crumbling. Thankfully, due to the barrier they all created during the kidnapping fiasco, they're still all mostly protected! However, the wolves can slip into gaps from the broken fence. Maybe repair those.

But wait, there's more! One type of fruit tree in every flock suddenly shrivels up, taking that fruit away. You all may decide which one goes bye bye! (but hit up the top comment so I can keep track of it). Any fruit you've harvested for yourself or the food drive already is fine to keep, just any from that particular tree in the future is donezo now.

Finally, random scattered feathers float through the air. Should you touch any, you may experience the following:

Black Feathers - Increased anger, rage, impulsiveness; you may find yourself lashing out violently even to people you like.
Pink Feathers - Increased anxiety, paranoia, depression; even if you try to tell the truth you'll find yourself lying.
White Feathers - Increased loneliness, insecurity, jealousy; you'll find yourself blurting out the truth even if it hurts.

Wack. But hey that's pretty mild all things considered!! EVERYTHING IS FINE AND NORMAL ignore that Stormy has been missing for two days probably and occasionally Blossom flickers in and out of existence.]

[With their hands still clasped together, she draws them to her cheek, nuzzling his hand gently while looking up at him through her lashes.]

They really do.

There're many different types of courtship. Sometimes it's gentle. Sometimes it's rough.

It's important to pay attention to your partner and continue only if they seem okay with it.

[Unless you're TRYING to be a sadist, which is also a valid courtship technique in some cases.]

...Here. Come sit down with me.

[it registers how warm and soft her face feels before he awkwardly tries to avoid thinking too deeply about that.

as for Acheron... admittedly, he's always avoided intimate details about him regarding that stuff. in his defense he wouldn't have guessed this is how he'd feel years later.]

[at her request he glances around the empty kitchen.]

Here?

[Do they have a kitchen table or anything? If so, she'll lead him over to a chair. If not... uh, I dunno, the living room? Idk what Thistle barn has going on as far as sitting accommodations but surely there's a convenient sheep or hay bale somewhere at minimum.]

Yeah, right here. Have a seat.

[kitchen chair it is, and he slowly trudges over and takes a seat.

he looks at her, not sure what to expect.]

Thank you. You're very tall.

[She casually straddles him and takes a seat on his lap, so close that they're nearly chest to chest.]

Is this alright?

[when she crawls onto his lap he doesn't quite know what to do with his hands, so he awkwardly shoves them into the pockets of his jacket.]

It's fine...

[it's like he has no idea what to do with his body in this situation, his entire posture is somewhat stiff.]

[She can tell!! She gently tries to ease his hands out of his pockets and around the small of her back.]

What I'd like you to practice now is listening to your own body. You may instinctively want to touch, or move, or do things in certain ways. I want you to try to pay attention to those feelings, and act on them, if you desire.

You're allowed to touch me however you like. And I'll let you know if that changes, so don't worry. Right now, try to pay attention to the points of contact between us, and how that makes you want to move.

[She ever so gently cups his cheek in her hand and looks him in the eyes.]

Okay?

[there's a stifled grunt when she situates herself on his lap, his hands coming to rest on the small of her back- his posture still overly stiff.

... tbf if this was Acheron he'd have the same exact reaction. he's not sure what to do. there's a stir of something when he looks in her eyes, but it's mostly the feeling of someone tossed into the deep end when they don't know how to swim.

he tries, with his hands shifting gently slightly where she placed them, but there's no spark behind it.]

... My body doesn't talk.

[did he take that literally? who knows.]

Then that means practice is even more important.

[She brushes some of his hair back behind his ear.]

Pay attention now, alright?

[She slowly leans in and kisses him softly -- almost shyly -- on the lips.]

[kissing he can do, at the very least, since Acheron taught him that much...

though Acheron also lead those little makeout sessions, so he lets her do the same for the moment. his reaction is minimal, tilting his head to accommodate her, his eyes slowly closing so he can try and focus on what he needs to.]

...Good.

[She speaks quietly, so that only he can hear.]

There are many places on the face that feel good when kissed. Like here:

[She uses her fingertips to guide his head to the side so she can kiss the edge of his jaw. She starts methodically working her way toward his ear.]

...And here:

[She nips at the shell of his ear, and sighs almost imperceptibly as she she puts another kiss on the bare skin behind his ear.]

[his breath hitches when her lips touch his jaw, and his hands reflexively tighten at her waist- ever so slightly.

how foreign this is to him. first when Acheron did it, and now her. when before he never anticipated ever feeling anything like this. he almost can't keep up with the warmth creeping through his body, in particular where she's kissing his neck. it feels incredibly sensitive there...]

[From the back of his ear, she starts working her way down the side of his neck, letting her fingertips wander down to the collar of his shirt.]

[Occasionally she draws the points of her teeth over his skin, as if preparing to bite... but then closes her lips together in yet another delicate kiss, instead.]

[though he seems cautious at first, his body is slowly easing into her kisses, tilting his head more to maintain the exposure to his neck.

he lets out a heavy breath at the feel of heat and teeth grazing his skin. the sensation traveling through his body and causing his hands to shift more, down over her backside and pulling her lower body against him.]

[She leans fully up against him, placing breathy, eager nibbles along neck and throat while her hands start exploring. Her fingertips find their way under the collar of his shirt to trace out the bare skin of his shoulders underneath; they find their way down his pecs, and along his sides, and under the hem of his shirt to trace out the shape of his waist.]

[there's a hard swallow when she nips at his neck, breathy kisses further alighting his senses. it's enough to scramble him, with as touch-starved as he is. that hesitation begins to slip away little by little and his grip on her backside tightens, this time pulling and angling her hips downward to grind against a budding firmness--

his breaths quickly become ragged and uneven, and he loosens his grip on her a bit when he realizes he might've done something wrong.]

[She makes a little whimper of pleasure (sorry for doing all this in front of your salad, Thistle) and grinds her hips against him encouragingly, rewarding that behavior.]

[She's keeping her voice low, but still emphatic,]

Yes! That's good! You're doing what your body's telling you. Keep going.

watching her through half-lidded eyes...
