3rd floor stairwell [evening]

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

When one was a baby cat, one found ways to entertain oneself.

Like, for instance, by chasing little fluttery things (or dust bunnies) along floors. Aravis found that when she was a leopard cub, she was worlds more interested in dust than normally. It was one such dust bunny that led her bouncing along the stairs between the third and fourth floors, trying to nab the fuzzy little thing.

Right as she reached the landing of the third floor, comic timing had its way with poor Aravis. And such was how she came to be crouched, naked, in the stairwell.

She would have screeched obscenities, but she didn't really have words to truly convey how awful this was. So she just screeched, period, doing her best to use her hair to cover...what she could, before attempting to bolt up the stairs to her room.

[...I was dared. People are TOTALLY WELCOME to interact with the shrieking naked girl, yes.]

"Maybe," Mat said. "I didn't weep over it or anything."

"Thanks be. I can't abide crying men," she said, rolling her eyes.

"That was exactly why I restrained myself," Mat said with a nod.

"Your restraint is admirable," she said dryly.

"There is a great deal that is admirable about me," Mat declared modestly.

"Unfortunately," she said, tilting her head, "much of it is hidden at the moment."

Mat grinned and spun in a little circle. "Would my lady like that to change?"

"It does seem somewhat one-sided," she observed. "Perhaps behind closed doors?"

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat winked. "That sounds like an agreeable arrangement."

"Come along, then," she said, reaching for his hand. "Unless you'd prefer the trauma of your roommate possibly stumbling across what I intend to be a rather thorough inspection of your better features."

"I don't want to be responsible for that manner of trauma to the man," Mat said, laughing and being happily tugged along.
