Eclipse Shotel

The Hunt vessel hummed quietly in space, camouflaged with a blurred sillhoutte to hold both of them on a safe travel across space.

He allowed himself to rest after working on some equipment in his chambers, a big room with large spines and trophies addorning the architecture being lighted only by weak red lights from the ship.

Lur'kax layed down with closed eyes but sharp hearing, the "bed" of mattress of fur and warm hides just showed the image of someone who should be resting but quite never did it... Until-

Quiet steps, her. Insufferable woman, wandering around the cold corridors of his ship, making him open one of his eyes following the noise.

The heat pit hummed as he slowly sat, golden eyes searching for her "You wander alone." He clicked low.

The door was open, he saw no reason to keep it close. Her sillhoutte was there, wearing Only an old white shirt with some undergarnments. Her face held a tired look but her eyes never foccused on anything in particular.

"Sorry, did I walk too loud?" she said, resting her shoulder against one of the door's arch, she huffed "Your 'maintance' was the one being too loud, Big Guy"

"Maintance is necessary" he states, eyes following the line of her before asking for permition. "Makes sure everything walks in line."

"Like I said, boring" Inari chuckles, leaving the door and starting walking in his room "three steps front" he instructed.

"Well, aren't you a gentleman?" She slowly walked until she felt him close. Lur'kax pushed his maintance table out of her way, only in his loincloth and the same necklaces of bones he showed so proudly, he was dressed for comfort.

Inari's hand brushed his arm, her shoulders dropped a bit in relieve "Do you ever rest?" She asks.

"My rest should not concern you" Lur'kax says, but there is no real edge in his tone "You should be resting." He stares calmly while sitting on the hides looking at her.

Inari moved, her blind eyes never really foccusing on him but her hands mapped the furs and him just enough for her to climb his bed.

“Always bossy, uh?” she murmurs, a small smile in her expression. Inari's hand hesitated for a heartbeat longer when she decided to move gently into his lap.

Lur'kax remains still at first, measuring her now on top of him with hovering hands. His mandibles click faintly "You sit on me?" he clicks calmly.

"You told me to rest." she mutters "I need to ask for permission to choose where I rest, Blooded?."

"Your choosing of places is... Bold." He stated, but far from denying physically any of the space she was taking from him.

She smiled quietly "Mhm, I'm making myself comfortable" Inari's weight pushed him back against the furs while her hand slid from his chest to hug his neck, denying any chance he could have of protesting properly.

One of his arms rested behind his head while his other hand hovered over her "Inari." Her name, already familiar in his mouth, his mandibles clicked faintly as he continued "Why are you lying on me?" He asked again, more firmly.

"Making sure you're still real..." she paused, trying to sound unbothered "...It gets weird when the sounds stops." her scarred eyes blinked while her head lifted up to meet his face.

"Quietness bothers you." He didn't ask, he knew enough. Blindness made Inari alert to sounds and paranoid to silence, even in a safe ship, the lack of noise could mean anything could already be there without presenting itself to her.

"Are you aware, that this implies dominance among my kind?" Lur'kax asked looking down at her.

"Hm, thankfully I'm not trying to spare you to sleep." Inari hummed unbothered while making herself comfortable on top of him "So be very still so I can sleep."

Lur'kax takes a deep breath for a moment, thinking with his hand still deciding what to do. She felt his chest moving under her, the stance of when he was thinking was loud for her.

"You act poorly even when tired." he sighed with his hand finally resting at the back of her black hair, holding her close to him.
