Hey, it's Annie, you know what to do.

"I never thought of it that way." She tends to think in vivid, riotous emotions rather than words. Everything in her world is a sensation rather than a sentence.

"But that's how it really is, huh? Having all those thoughts and wants, and knowing when to get them. And when to not. I think I've learned more about that since knowing you than I did my whole life before."

[loveisall]

"I have, my entire life, focused on control. Whether it was a lack of it or, now, a choice to keep it." He looks up. "But losing control is - well, we cannot deny ourselves that. Vampires. Werewolves. That is a part of who we are. We must find appropriate outlets for it."

He laughs. "Have I ever told you about the first time Archer and I slept together?" he wonders. Godric doesn't tend to kiss and tell about Archer, but he has no secrets with Annie.

[allgotrabies]

"No you didn't!" And she's delighted that he trusts her enough to tell now. "What happened?"

[loveisall]

He looks up. "We had kissed, nothing more. I was trusting him to take the lead, as he had more reservations than me." For reasons he won't get into.

"But I came upon him in the Enclosure once, fighting a dragon." He knows how it sounds. "But Annie, he was glorious. Beautiful. It was - " He lets out a breath. "I had never seen anything like it. We kissed, but there was a difference to it. His walls were down. He had been in control but also - not. I went to his room and - " He shrugs, deciding that he doesn't actually need to go into details.

Except -

"He heals very quickly, which works to our advantage."

[allgotrabies]

It's so rare Godric talks this way about the inherent violence in him, as something he can enjoy living with in the right moments, and she's beaming.

"Okay but what kind of healing did he have to do?"

[loveisall]

He gives her a quick look. A coy little smile.

"More than Quentin does. With Archer, there's blood. There's always blood." He reaches over, trailing a hand along her neck. "There, to take." Along her shoulders. "There, to make it hurt."

He playfully runs his hand down her sides, tickling her lightly again. "And that's all you get to know about that, nosy pup."

[allgotrabies]

She laughs. "Look at you, getting crazy! I didn't know old men played dirty like that."

[loveisall]

He pretends to look offended. "What did you think I did, Annie? Through a sheet with a hole?"

[allgotrabies]

Laughing so hard she's almost crying, just picturing that.

"N-no, of course-" she can't breathe, Godric.

[loveisall]

He just watches her. Waits.

"Then what would you expect? Go on. I want to know. Considering you have first hand experience."

[allgotrabies]

"Well! I don't know Archers life! Maybe he's had a hip replaced!"

She climbs into his lap, her eyes still dancing, but for real: "He's lucky to have you. I think he was probably alone for a long time. Really alone not just physically alone. I'm glad you guys get to do all the kinky things."

[loveisall]

Godric lets her into his lap, hands on her hips. "Annie," he sighs. "I have been alive for far too long to not enjoy myself when it happens."

He pulls her close, wrapping his arms around her.

"And you should have an outlet, too. Not, necessarily in the same way, but I am glad that you are changing again."

[allgotrabies]

"Bobo is gone,"she sighs, head on his shoulder. "I swear to God my next barge stay needs to be somewhere with more straight guys. This place is nice, I don't hate being here, but a normal cruise would have me having more anonymous sex in closets."

[loveisall]

He snorts, pulling her closer, drawing her into a kiss. "Closets. You have a space here and a space in your old cabin. Why a closet?"

[allgotrabies]

"He liked public sex,"she laughs, and because her head is hurting still she sinks down so her head is on his lap. "So I figure that would've been a good compromise."

She nudges his hand with her head; more pets, please. "What's Quentin like?"

[loveisall]

He gently brushes his hand through her hair, not wanting to make her pain worse.

"Q?" He smiles fondly. "He likes being hunted."

He leans back, watching the ceiling. "Letting me be a predator. But we talk. There's friendship above all. Attraction, yes. But friendship."

[allgotrabies]

"He seems like he would be a lot of fun to hunt," she smiles.

"Dish. Who else would you get all tangled up with if there were no issues?"

[loveisall]

His first thought is, of course Jedao, but he's not sure if that's true any longer. Jedao's been out for so long that he's not sure if he would want that any longer.

"Honestly?" he mutters. "If there were no issues? Steve. And you?"

[allgotrabies]

She peers up at him, with the faintest touch of surprise. "You totally have me. I just didn't wanna make things complicated for you."

[loveisall]

He laughs, deep in his chest. "And I do not wish to make things complicated for you," he admits. "I think we made this decision for each other without actually talking it through. Normally, we are better in step."

[allgotrabies]

"From now on, if we want to be extra considerate, we can actually ask," she says, hand up, scouts honor.

"And? I would totally do Steve, too."

[loveisall]

Godric grins. "I'm certain he would think us both mad for admitting that aloud," he tells her. "But I have been enamored with him since I first met him. I realized very early on that it would never work. But he is rather handsome."

[allgotrabies]

"In another universe, we could have been his very first threesome," she muses. "He's really hot. And he's just been so good to me. Good for me, since I was demoted. I don't think I'd be as okay as I am now if he hadn't reached out."

[loveisall]

"I am relieved to hear that," he admits. "I was so frightened when you were demoted that you would be ostracized. Or that no one would understand. It is a relief to know otherwise. That you are welcomed. Loved. Embraced."

[allgotrabies]

"I thought I would be, too. But weirdly? I was a little mad when no one else was." Which is why she'd asked Sweeney to punch her a few dozen times. "I'm past that now. I think I can get better. Better than I was, I mean."
