I could... though it might depend on what you wish to cook.

[ It feels strange, to have such a heavy weight there when she's used to simple rings and studs. She stretches the wing a bit, testing, her cheeks red with heat. It feels good, to have something-- special.

She lifts a hand to gently cover one of his own. ]

Thank you, Yingxing.

You're welcome. Glad you like it.

[ given its draconic shape and azure eyes, it's not necessarily expressing a deep connection between them, but.. there's time ahead of them. things to learn about one another. maybe one day, yingxing will give her a gift that symbolizes only the two of them. ]

I imagine you would need a larger dose than most, but that is overkill...

[A shake of the head.]

Hydration should help your system clear it out faster, but you shouldn't engage in any strenuous activity until it's cleared out completely.
vitainmorte: (and slip away)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-10-31 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't call you a stranger.

[Said with a shake of his head.]

And I'd rather see you safe than potentially hurting yourself helping out.

[His tail swishes a little, betraying his happy mood. All the lizards seem to share a weird habit of liking to keep their people close and cared for, okay.]

Do you feel any other side effects, or just grogginess?
vitainmorte: (no one asked your opinion) (You want my opinion)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-10-31 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Would he not... She supposed they weren't exactly strangers, and neither was she with Dan Feng or Yingxing, but she reasonably assumed the others wouldn't see it the same way, surely. She glances at his tail curiously, for a beat, but-- ]

Oh, no... Just tired, that's all. I won't hurt myself, please don't worry-- I know my limits.
skypiercing: (pic#17997197)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-10-31 05:44 am (UTC)(link)

Do you want to stay?

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-03 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh.

...Yes, he supposes he can see the picture forming here. He frowns slightly at the way her wings tuck close, eying the feathers for a moment.]


Beyond asking you to try and believe me when I say I find your company enjoyable--

[Because he has a feeling that directly saying so might not have as much impact here--] I genuinely believe you being here is a good thing. For me, for Dan Feng. For everyone. Even those who do not know you yet. There is a reason I bought this house, you see.
vitainmorte: art by @ sabimillia (locked in a cage)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-03 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a clearly self-conscious movement, meant to tuck them in close and out of the way; if he's eyeing them anyway it's clear to see that the places where she'd lost patches of feathers before are slowly growing back in, all spiky with pinfeathers.

she looks pretty embarrassed by his words, though, because why would her presence be that good of a thing-- when Dan Feng acts the way he does, and when she's a perfect stranger to half of the house-- ]

... A reason?
skypiercing: (pic#18097883)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He does see. It's concerning, because if it's anything like scales... well, regrowth must be unpleasant, to say the least. Were they pulled out? It didn't look like a natural shed pattern.

His tail taps against the floor as he considers his words, smiling wryly.]
I would not have wanted a permanent place for myself only. There's only so much room in the dorms, and Dan Feng and I are both... happier, when we know where everyone we care about is.

[He won't speak for the other Dan Heng, of course.] Dan Feng especially needs stabilizing influences. Having you here gives him someone he cares deeply for that he can go to, someone that isn't linked to his past [And mara--] and that balances things out for everyone.

[It's a complicated tangle of people, but Val was unique in her position here.] ...And I've wanted to get to know you better for quite awhile.
vitainmorte: (and therefore I never lie)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... not so stabilizing an influence as you might think, for him.

[ but she says nothing of the rest, her face deeply flustered. She doesn't respond any more for a long moment, but eventually: ]

If... the others are not opposed then-- then perhaps I could... stay.

[ It's not that she doesn't want to stay, even, because being wanted is, certainly, one of the things she is weakest to. But it's at odds with her natural politeness, and distance she was raised to have, and a natural disinclination to believe she has any priority at all in Dan Feng's life, especially compared to people like Yingxing-- this she knows to be true. ]
skypiercing: (pic#18097896)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-03 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, I wonder...

[About what??? But his tail swishes behind him, betraying his own happiness at her agreement.]

I can't speak for Jing Yuan and Yingxing, but I don't see why they'd say no if you asked. There's more than enough room for everyone here after all.

[A pause. Hesitantly, like he's not sure he's allowed to ask--] May I ask a personal question?
vitainmorte: (no one asked for your thoughts) (You asked for my counsel)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-03 05:48 am (UTC)(link)

Ah...

[ She looks. Pretty embarrassed by that, in a different way than before, subtly covering the one she was touching with a hand. ]

... It seems-- one of my taboos causes my feathers to fall out, and so... Well, they're growing back fine, I think. I'm sorry they're unsightly.
skypiercing: (pic#18097879)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-03 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, please don't apologize.

[He was worried he might embarrass her, and it seems he was right.]

I wasn't upset by the sight, but concerned. if it's anything like when scales get patchy, it must be uncomfortable. Is there anything that can be done?
vitainmorte: art by @ surfacage (I will softly pull away)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-03 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ she rubs her face a bit, as if trying to fight off the fluster. ]

I can groom them myself, mostly, so-- you don't have to...

[ but she quiets a moment, thoughtful, because Dan Heng is being so nice and welcoming and he's offering something and even though it's fairly intimate and distasteful to look at surely she should... ]

...

But, I. It would be-- nice, if you could help. Just a bit.
skypiercing: (pic#18097896)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-03 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[His expression brightens, in that quiet way Dan Heng has that mostly shows in his eyes.... and the way his tail swishes a little faster.]

I'd be happy to help, if you're comfortable with me doing so.

[He's... curious honestly. You didn't meet many halovians outside of the Family's territory. And Val's shyness is cute.] What do I need to do?
vitainmorte: (it's empty Achilles)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-03 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she lowers her hand, spreading a lower wing to demonstrate on one of the pin feathers there, carefully breaking some of the keratin sheath with her fingers and releasing the feather within. ]

Like this-- the dry ones will crumble easily. I'm sorry, it can be a little messy...
skypiercing: (pic#18097896)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-04 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[There's fascinating alight in his eyes as he watches, considers the process with clear interest.] Again, it's nothing to apologize for. I'm more than happy to help, and any mess can be easily cleaned.

[Dan Feng might sulk if he uses his cloudhymn to clean, but he's learned to ignore it.]

Would a change of location help you feel more comfortable before we start?
vitainmorte: art by @ surfacage (I will softly pull away)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
... Yes, please. Somewhere the dust can be swept away when we're done.

skypiercing: (pic#18097875)

[The kitchen is probably not the ideal place for this regardless.]
vitainmorte: (for nausea to set in)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-04 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ She considers the options, red-faced. The bedroom is certainly more comfortable, but she cannot fight the feeling still that she is a guest here, nor the feeling that it would still be particularly messy for her to drop featherdust all over his space But the bathroom........................ ]

... I think-- the bedroom, if you wouldn't mind. I'm sorry to intrude.
skypiercing: (pic#17997142)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-11-04 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She keeps apologizing for things she really doesn't need to apologize for... he just shakes his head and offers her a smile.]

Bedroom it is, then.

[He'll lead her to one of the bedrooms-- one with a makeshift futon slash nest tucked in a corner, a bucket of tools that have clearly been recently used near the slightly weathered windowsill. It's... not entirely certain who is residing here, since Dan Heng has mostly been sleeping in his study when he's not getting dragged into Dan Feng's nest.

Honestly he'll probably end up moving it soon enough, or ceding it to someone else.]
Have a seat.
vitainmorte: (no one asked your opinion) (You want my opinion)

He eyes her for a moment before caving to the desire to reach out, but he still has manners!]
Where would you like to start?
vitainmorte: (no one asked for your thoughts) (You asked for my counsel)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-11-06 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ god. how awkward.

She flusters, but shifts enough to get her back a little more towards him, tugging her shirt up just enough to bare the place her lower wings connect to the skin and the soft feathers that line her lower back. ]

Um-- wherever you're most comfortable. It's hardest for me to reach the back easily, so...
skypiercing: (pic#18097875)

[personal profile] skypiercing 2025-12-14 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Awkward indeed, but for Dan Heng, there's a quiet undercurrent of excited curiosity. He's never done something like this before-- never been in a position close enough to examine.

Sorry he's like this.]


I can start there, then.

[His hand is gentle when he reaches out to touch, fingers beginning to card through her feathers to find quills that have yet to emerge.] Tell me if I pull or cause any discomfort?
vitainmorte: (it's empty Achilles)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2025-12-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[ She doesn't shy from the touch, at least, though the feathers raise gently under his hands, fluffing up-- the feathers and down closest to and along her spine, between the wings, grow in powder-soft and fluffy, deeply warmed by her skin, but the feathers that grow out along her wings are stiff and firm under the hand. The flight feathers that remain are fortunately cut evenly, though; neat, even if a bit too short and unnecessary; the empty spaces, between fallen feathers and pinfeathers yet to break the skin, is hot and soft-- and strangely shrinkwrapped to the wing in the way of most birds, only bone and ligament or muscle under it with no fat to speak of.

She's a bit tense, but to be expected from someone being touched in a vulnerable spot for the first time by someone, though she makes a concentrated effort to relax. ]

[Dan Heng has been keeping busy with repairs and various other necessities. Though on one or two occasions throughout the day there might be a rather suspicious sounding thump and hiss of pain when he misjudges his height against doorways and bangs his horns or forgets his tail is different now. His poor dignity…

And when he isn’t fixing what simpler parts of the house he can handle, he can be found attempting to decipher the instructions for what is essentially a knockoff ikea bookshelf.

He’s pretty sure there’s a part missing. Or the instructions are just that bad.]

[Jing Yuan was helping with the labour... but he got tired and decided to go flop in the half-finished courtyard instead. He's shirtless, laying on his stomach next to the pond and trailing his fingers in the water to interact with the single sad koi.

The whole family of cats he brought with him are out there, the kittens playing and the mother sleeping in the sun. The all-black kitten is playing with his braid. There are songbirds in the one big tree and along the edges of the eaves, and three of them are perched on Jing Yuan's head and back.

It's warm and comfortable in the sun and he is a happy man who is definitely also stealing glances at the others. Especially the sweaty ones.]

He steals glances towards Jing Yuan as he works, and while he doesn't make his way down yet he does make a few fond comments to nearby birds.

How gentle the sight of him, with the animals around him. He's not at all surprised by the cats lounging about him: He would have, too.

It was a sight he greatly enjoyed, and the birds were happy to encourage. Fluffy nest man was very nice, very comfortable. The newest bird lands atop his head, threading the flower into his hair as if intending to start building a nest of them.

She huffs a small sigh at Dan Feng's demand, though, but-- it's something she wants anyway, regardless-- so she leans back enough to tilt her head up and press a small kiss to the corner of his lip. Nicely, chastely. ]

But breaks the kiss when Dan Feng's hand smooths against her; she's already quite wet, he'll find, especially considering what her and Yingxing had done earlier, and the hand makes her startle as that spark of pleasure rises. She reaches up around Yingxing's back, curls a hand in his fur for some sort of purchase, exhaling shakily against him as she bows her head. ]

I said, fuck her.

[ he whispers harshly into dan feng's ear, his hips rutting forward until the tip of his heavy cock catches on dan feng's vent, the head only just beginning to sink inside. gods, he's beautiful when he's needy like this. ]

[ It really is fortunate that she is so recently fucked-- and that Yingxing himself is not a small man by any means, and that he'd stretched her so wonderfully. And while Dan Feng is not as thick around perhaps as Yingxing's fully draconic length he is not so smoothly shaped, or uniform; two overlapping cocks, ridged as they are, simply fill her in an entirely different way.

She makes a noise of protest-- a tiny "Nnnh wait--"-- before he pushes fully in. The wait of him-- of Yingxing on him-- does not quite give her the range of movement she'd prefer in this position, and that aside the stretch around his cocks makes her whine long and low. She pushes a hand against his shoulder, panting, the painful (pleasurable? certainly, in some odd way) ache sparking hot in her lower stomach. Trying to shift her hips back to lessen the pressure does not help whatsoever: if anything it only serves to push him further as he ruts into her, and she makes a shuddering little moan under him. ]

[ poor val, yingxing can't see what's happening, can only hear her moans and assume that dan feng has done as instructed. ]

Good boy..

[ he purrs, then finally pushes his hips forward enough that his cock sinks right into dan heng's vent, the way so slick and warm that he sides in easily, right to the hilt. self-control spent, he growls and sinks his teeth against dan feng's shoulder, fangs raking delicate skin as he ruts his hips hard, fucking dan feng deep. ]

[ There's a little spike of panic at being pinned like that, fortunately muddled by the intensity of sensation as Dan Feng is fucked into her-- she makes a noise that's more squeal than whine, shuddering as those cocks hilt into her with each of Yingxing's desperate thrusts.

The bite... well, she's only human, and her skin is delicate under his sharp fangs. She hisses as he bites down, blood and pain easily drawn, and fists a hand in his hair to pull his head-- in an attempt to lessen that pressure, perhaps, or as some sort of handhold, it isn't very clear. What is clear is the panting whine in her throat, her whole body trembling with oversensitized need below them. ]

[ dan feng drops beneath him, which gives yingxing the opportunity to mount him properly, pressing his knees into the mattress for the leverage he needs to fuck into him hard, skin slapping on skin, his tail sweeping being him, coiling around one of valencia's legs and squeezing. ]

Good boy..

[ he whispers roughly, both hands tight on dan feng's hips, holding him tightly as he ruts into him, using every inch of his aching, weeping vent for his own pleasure and nothing else. each thrust of his body slams dan feng's hips down, pushing his cocks deep into valencia's cunt, relentless and fierce. ]

pushing his weight into him, yingxing slides his hands down dan feng's body, grabbing him by the ass to grind their hips together hard. ]

his hands are moving again, grabbing the waistband of dan feng's trousers and yanking down hard, tail lashing. ]

and then he's surging forward, crouching for a moment to hook his arms beneath dan feng's thighs and, in a great show of strength, hauling him upward, long legs over yingxing's shoulders as he stands again, dan feng's weight pushed back against the top of the door.

without hesitation, he bullies forward, pressing his hot, open mouth over those thin panties, breathing in the scent of dan feng's slick, lapping at it through soft silk. ]

instead he keeps at exactly what he is doing, his face buried between those soft thighs, mouth moving over the shape of one straining cock before he's shoving the crotch of dan feng's panties aside with his nose so he can get right to the source. his tongue arches, sliding firmly through the wet folds of his vent, the taste of his slick enough to make yingxing groan and rut his hips forward against nothing. ]

but only barely. yingxing loosens his grasp, allowing dan feng to slide back down into his arms, but he is nowhere near finished. without missing a beat he yanks dan feng toward his bed, all but throwing him down onto it if dan feng doesn't squirm away. ]

when yingxing catches up, he slows, his eyes flicking up to where dan feng perches like a crane, elegant still, despite that feverish scent. yingxing hums, as if he's been had - then slams his shoulder into the pole hard enough to make it tip. ]

[ the chase, the adrenaline rush - this is the best part. yingxing cocks his head and listens to the ringing sound of dan feng's voice, but it's his thick scent that yingxing can all but see, a trail leading right to his beloved.

normally, he does not keep his wings while in varying states of humanoid, they tend to get in the way, but now.. well. a deep breath is followed by a sickening crackle as the skin over his shoulderblades splits, two pairs of feathery wings shot through with gold unraveling from his body, spattered in blood that he shakes off in droplets. ]

[Dan Heng of all people really has no right to judge anyone for holing up in their room, but this is Yingxing. This is Yingxing, and while he always smells good, the faint scent he catches coming from behind his door today...

it makes saliva fill his mouth, his gut clench. He wants to get behind that door, to get closer to the source.

That is a rather unhelpful answer. What's going on?

he shouldn't open the door. but he's moving anyway, floorboards creaking as yingxing makes his way across the room and slides his door open. it's not uncommon for him to show various bestial vestiges of his new partly draconic nature, but right now he's nearly more creature than man. horns, scales, tufts of fur. fangs. claws. a crest down his back that ends in a long, sinuous furry tail that thumps the floor impatiently. ]

[The moment Yingxing opens the door, he can likely see the way Dan Heng's pupils dilate, the way his nostrils flare... not to mention smell how his scent grows stronger, sweeter... Excited.

Yingxing always looks good, but there is something intensely attractive about seeing him with scales and claws, fangs and fur. He's far from 'freaking out' right now, he's eying Yingxing like the man is a five course meal and he's starving.]

Clawed fingers dig into the thin fabric of his top as he bodily shoves Yingxing backwards into the room once the door is closed, his tail--

Well his tail is doing it's damnest to feel Yingxing's lower body up like a third arm, actually.]

He isn't one to be prone to losing control of his shape, but it's very hard to care about anything else but Yingxing right now, and being able to touch more skin and scales.]

That's quite the promise to make. [He's flustered by the image it makes: Yingxing keeping him in bed, having his way with him throughout the night... the next morning. Having his fill of Dan Heng, over and over, keeping him filled--

It should be embarrassing, how he's already wet from the thought. Yingxing can most certainly smell it.]

It's one I know I'll keep.
