Cαɴ'т ѕтop, woɴ'т ѕтop (Crim)

Time Skip

Cybele stirs, her bones aching. She groans, pressing fingers to her head. "Where am I...?" Her voice is thick and muffled. What had she been doing... Corve was there- Corvo! Irritation curls in her stomach. He knocked her out! "Corvo!" She spits out, struggling to her feet.

[CrimsonMoon]

She had been lying in a stiff bunk, like the ones the escape pods had. Wait- looking atound the small interior of the room, it was about 15 feet by 6, very thin, very long, filled with many machines that beeped and whirred softly. Corvo was sleeping on a swivel chair

[pipintan]

She seethes, trying to figure out everything. Heather is way to far for help; nothing but silence in her ear and that scares her. The beeping and the whirling confuse her, make her head pound even more. She knows he's in here, but where? "Corvo," she calls out again trying to locate him, venom still dripping in her voice.

[CrimsonMoon]

" You're awake-" he looks up and stands, walking over to her," Cybele-" he touches her shoulder tentatively

[pipintan]

"Don't you 'Cybele' me," she snaps, though makes no move to flick his hand away. No matter how furious she is that he had whisked her away, the gentleness of his touch gnaws away some of her anger. "Why am I on a ship?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" If i had left you, you would have been court marshaled for releasing me," he answers simply, gazing at her," Plus... I had to make sure you wouldn't wake up too soon... I'm glad I did not kill you as well,"

[pipintan]

"Please, I would've found a way to get out of it. It hurts you doubt my skills." Despite her irritation, there is a small spark of gentle teasing as she speaks Though it hardens and disappears. He had kidnapped her, she's allowed to be ticked.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Ah... Sorry?" He seemed unsure about how to react and places a hand on her head, patting her hair softly

[pipintan]

She frowns at him, shaking his hand off of her head. "I'm not a child," she mutters, crossing her hands over her chest, "treat me like an adult, will you?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" How?" He grumps in reply, ruffling her hair before turning away and walking back to the front of the ship, clicking several buttons

[pipintan]

Cybele balls her hands into fists. "Treat me like you did back at the cell!" The words bursts out of her mouth before she could stop, they are almost a shout. She quivers slightly, surprised at the outburst herself, a pink flush appearing around her neck. She licks her lips, looking like she wants to take a step towards him, though doesn't take it. This is why she is so irritated; first he kisses her, a gesture that actually made her feel like she meant something to someone else, and then he knocks her out, threatening to leave her. The possibility could have happened back there...but it was left there to dangle helplessly, because of the captain.

But now...?

"Please.  I want to touch you."  Her voice is a croak, all anger and fighting gone.  She's so tired...so tired of not being able to connect to anyone else.

[CrimsonMoon]

Corvo seems surprised- she wanted him to... touch her? He felt a blush rise but walked over any way and sat down next to her, carefully wrapping his arms around her small frame,"... Alright.." He consents

[pipintan]

She hesitates for a moment, wondering if it was such a good idea. It had burst out of her mouth, before she could've thought about it and retracted it. But...now it's out, might as well enjoy it. Cybele relaxes against him, breathing him in. "Do you regret it?" She asks finally, before quickly clarifying, "kissing me, I mean."

[CrimsonMoon]

" No- why would I?" He answers softly, pressing his face against her hair and sighing deeply, quietly. His mknd already racing toward the future

[pipintan]

She shivers slightly, his hot breath tickling her. "I have no idea...a first kiss with a blind person isn't the sexiest thing ever." She gives him a sarcastic smile.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Does it have to be sexy?" He counters, nuzzling her hair, and gently rubbing her back

[pipintan]

She winces, as his fingers massage her knotted bones. "Well, it has to be memorable." She's quiet for a moment, before saying, a bit sarcastically, "I guess kissing through the bars while you're in a cell is memorable. Though...I think we can do better than that." The playful smile is back on her lips.

[CrimsonMoon]

He pauses, inwardly begjnning to panic a bit," I- I uhm..." Corvo looked around as if looking for a mistake. For Genetically Engiineered soldiers, contact- in this particular context- was a particularly firm 'No'. He liked her though... He probably even- maybe loved her? But-

He stood suddenly, sliding her gently from his arms," Sorry." He says quickly, tryjng to calm himself

[pipintan]

She feels her stomach curl and shrink. "Of course...how foolish of me," she mutters, pressing her legs together, her hands on her lap. What had she been thinking? Pfeh. Knocking her out must've jostled her mind more than she had expected. She turns away, her own embarrassment flooding to her cheeks. "Excuse me..." Cybele slips by him, before going into the bathroom and shutting the door quietly.

[CrimsonMoon]

Corvo looks after her and runs a hand through his blood red hair, sighing deeply... Maybe someday- he would embrace her as a lover but for now... He shook his head and began to pilot the ship once more
