It has been - a few days. There are long silent snuggles with Kas. There are tentative chats with Helen, which go encouragingly. There are difficult and uncomfortably revelatory conversations with her parents. There are heaps and heaps and heaps of things to catch up on, read, check, look into, so she can regroup, reappear, resume work.
She hasn't slept with Kas since coming home. She loves him, and she'll be feeling like it eventually, but not right away.
She's sort of restless after a few days of not having sex, though. Let's see. There's a couple new Jokers she hasn't tried, although one is not shaped in an Amariah-amenable way. And maybe that's a little too close to what she's waiting on, anyway.
Pattern's boyfriend isn't a Joker and is amenable to being loaned out, she has heard.
[Hey, Jane...]

"I have borrowed other ones in the past. In a not-a-Joker mood today, though."

"Sorry, probably none of my business, but - no, actually, I think it is my business, is your boyfriend okay with," he makes a gesture that encompasses the two of them, "this?"

"I didn't make a point of specifically asking him in this particular case, but he is in full generality okay with me borrowing anybody who makes themselves borrowable. Why?"

"I heard you guys were having a rough time and I don't want to be a part of making it any worse, that's all."

"We are, but you're not gonna make it worse," says Amariah. "Being borrowed is of course optional if you'd rather not for any reason, though."

"Cool. 'Cause you look pretty borrowable." She starts untying knots on her person. This is a prerequisite for sex, but she occupies nudity and the transition thereto much more casually than the one of her alts Ripper is accustomed to.

"I am very borrowable," he says cheerfully.
It turns out that Ripper also occupies nudity and related states pretty casually! But it's somewhat different in his case. He just really, really likes it when people find him nice to look at.

He's quite nice to look at! Amariah looks at him. And proceeds with the borrowing.

[You do. It is a nice idea. And a delicious one.] Nibble nibble nibble.

Apparently so.
Ripper has a pretty good idea of how one Bell works. He doesn't know how much of that is going to transfer, but he is very willing to experiment.

It transfers pretty fucking well. They're all built the same, even if the superficial details differ.

Amariah doesn't have that kind of advantage with Ripper, but she is prepared to try to compensate!

She snuggles. For some reason she doesn't seem to relax into it as much as Pattern does - even as much as Pattern did early on - but she snuggles.
