>>5879423>2 for CourageSylvare falls through you, thumping her forehead upon the tree behind you with a thunk and falling to the ground. For a moment you are utterly bewildered, and then panicked as you realize what’s happened—in your excitement, you lost the focus needed to maintain your material form, becoming entirely aethereal.
“Oh, oh shit!” you exclaim. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, uh, lose corporeality! It just happens sometimes when I—”
Sylvare holds up a hand to stop you, waving her fingers to indicate it’s okay. She rubs her forehead with her other hand. When you’ve managed to calm down enough to achieve a physical, material presence again, you help her up.
“Well,” she says thoughtfully, “you feel solid right now. Do you think you can… Maintain that for a few minutes?”
Your heart is going a mile a minute as you contemplate the question. You really, REALLY want the answer to be yes, bt….
“I don’t know.”
Sylvare frowns, tilting her head.
“I haven’t… Since I’ve been like that, I’ve never really, uh, I haven’t tried…”
She brings a finger to your face, hesitating a moment before touching your lips. Her finger doesn’t pass through, and so she smirks a little.
“What if we just… Take it slow?”
You give it a go. You know, for the expansion of human and elven knowledge, and the betterment for international relations. For purely selfless and altruistic reasons. Obviously.
>5, 11It's a fine time, very fun, even if... Well, frustrating, in the end. You are forced to take things into your own hands, ahem, as things come to a close--full sexual arousal simply seems to be too great an impediment to your focus, causing limbs and faces and, AHEM, such to pass through one another. Sylvare is kind about it, frankly sort of amused by it, but you have a more... Ambivalent emotional reaction to events. It hardly helps take your mind off of your condition, and your history, and those other two young women to whom these matters are tied. You’re rather distracted by a swirling milieu, sticky and heavy like mixing honey in your mind.
