Planning the Hunt

[Hayden]

It was slow and decadent and Hayden removed clothing in the same way. Slowly piece by piece until clothing was gone and it was just them and the rumpled sheets. Hayden pinned her hands above her head and kissed her neck as he took the rest just as slow and easy.

It was effort to be slow and gentle, almost as much as it was to be hard and fast. It was a little rough mostly gentle play but Hayden wanted to show her the love of a friend and that she wasn't alone. His whole body showed her.

[[ ooc: You finish how Elyse needs ]]

[Elyse]

Clothing started to come off slow and gentle as he had been the entire time. Hayden moved across her body with skill, their previous encounter having been enough for him to learn her sweet spots. She shivered in pleasure as he entered her.

Elyse felt a little guilt. He was doing what she needed, not what he needed, but it passed. It was why she was here. It was what he offered her. She wasn’t doing anything wrong. She wasn’t sure if Hayden sensed that or not. It was slow and sensuous. Elyse took his face in her hands, moving his gaze to meet hers. She needed to see him, needed to know she had a friend right now, needed to know that when this fucking shit show was done, there would be somebody. She found as she trusted him to know what she needed, she began to trust her own instincts too. 

”Harder…faster,” she said, and he complied. They began to communicate with sounds and movement falling into a rhythm.

Their encounter done, Elyse laid her head on his chest after they cleaned up. They still weren’t dressed. She still had time. This time, she knew he was on birth control. She was too, and she hadn’t been worried about pregnancy. 

”I feel like every time we do this, I’m getting what I need - but you’re not. I’m sorry,” she said. She wanted him to enjoy it too. 

The session had cleared her head though. So she began to talk about what was bothering her. ”You know, after today, I’m the last one. No more Andersens in our line. No brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or cousins. I’ve never felt the kind of loneliness I feel right now. I know. Family isn’t only blood. God knows I’ve found a stronger family now…it’s just…sad.” sad wasn’t the right word. Elyse wasn’t sure there was one. ”Nox’s plan is a good one, and we’ve made contingencies to keep myself and others safe, but I can’t help but be scared this is gonna go tits up and something bad is going to happen. Maybe that’s the depression talking, but…I don’t know. I’m just trying to focus on how good Nox is at what he does.”

((OoC: after Hayden’s response she should be ready to go and I’ll get her over there))

[Hayden]

Hayden chuckled as she lay on his chest. "Sweetheart, I am getting exactly what I want and need when we get together. That's the thing about me, I like being me and doing what I do. I am satisfied knowing you are. It's all good. It's also why I have many partners, Elyse, don't worry about me. I'm good"

And the rest of all flowed out. "Nox is good at what he does. I know you don't doubt that. And plans go to shit as soon as they are made. Your father is never going to know what hit him. There will be no way this can go as you put it tits up. Nox doesn't have to get close. Your father is going to be focused on you and only you. He doesn't suspect foul play. We have the advantage. Don't worry about the plan. This is not about the plan. The last of a line is a big deal. But it doesn't have to be the end of yours, unless you did something drastic too."

[Elyse]

Elyse nodded. She didn’t have to be the last of her line. She could have kids. She had done nothing to prevent that. ”Nothing drastic. Just… she sighed. ”Whether or not I have kids can wait.” she didn’t want to get too deep into that conversation. She would need someone else for that - well - there were ways around that too, but now wasn’t the time.

Her wallet beeped - the alarm she set for when it was time for her to go. ”That means it’s time.”

She stood and began to get dressed, pulling out her hunting clothing. It was a dark pair of pants and a shirt, form fitting to allow ease of movement. Over top of this she put her tactical harness. It would allow her to store her knives when she got them. Who could connect her crossbow to the harness to free her hands. Putting it on was a well rehearsed dance, and even if it had been awhile, it all went on with a practiced ease. The pants would go unnoticed in a crowd, but the top she covered with a hoodie, plain and unassuming. Finally she put on her boots and the colored contacts. Covered as she was, she looked like a normal woman going out for some coffee. Of course, she’d put her coat on as well which would add to the disguise.

”How do I look?” she asked with a smirk.

”Like you are going to be cold with just a hoodie.”

She laughed and gave him a playful and harmless punch on the arm”im going to put on a coat too, you ass!” she leaned down and gave him a kiss. ”Wish me luck?”

”Good luck. You want company?”

Elyse blinked at that, somewhat surprised at the offer. ”Nox did tell me to buy you coffee after we ‘meditated’” she put air quotes around the word. ”And I’m going to a coffee shop. I’d welcome the company, and if things go the way they should - it will just be that. Leaving now though - so as much as I hate to say it. Get some clothes on.” she grinned at him.

”I’d prefer a shower first, but I’ll forego it just for you,” she smiled apologetically as he got up and got dressed.

”Sorry, i owe you some shower time I guess,” she smiled and the pair left to go and the hunt officially began.
