Phee sleepily nuzzles into the pat and yawns out. "Oki."

And goes back to slee-.

Valiantly resists the urge to return to sleep and (eventually) forces herself to get up.

And after acquiring hydration for herself and putting her clothes back on. And spending a completely reasonable amount of time on working on jumping between dimensions, she'll join Eva.

"Hiya!"

"Hey there," Eva says with a warm smile. "Glad you could join me." She's partway through setting the tent up again. 

"So, I'm here for about five days more before I need to head back to some Earth or other. We're going to have to test the... water drinking thing... today... so I think that'll have to happen around lunch. I hope you're still okay with that." 

"I'm glad to join you too!" And Phee will join Eva in setting the tent up if she can see a way to help without getting in the way.

"A-and I'm still fine with you d-drinking my water!" Even if she is worried it'll give her a vore kink.

"Worried" She says[1] as if we don't kink on a meta level about corruptive stuff like that.

[1] Well thinks technically, as Pedantry would've pointed out if I didn't add this qualifier first.

"Also! Um I'd still be fine with you crashing in my apartment during the times you'd be Earthside if you'd want?"

Eva accepts Phee's help with a quiet thanks, and before long they have the tent set up. 

"That's a very kind offer, and I'd appreciate it a lot. Thank you."

Phee shrugs bashfully, not really sure how to respond and says. "I guess it is? And you're welcome!"

"Want to chat more about girl's love stories? I was just getting into Revue Starlight with you last time..." 

"I'd love to!"

"So Revue Starlight is based on this famous theater troupe out of Japan called Takarazuka Revue, and the story is about how all these girls fight for the lead role in these plays..."

And on she goes.

And Phee will listen eagerly, occasionally interjecting with questions and comments as they pass the time away.

And with the passing of time, they eventually reach the time of day known as "lunch" wherein those poor unfortunate souls who haven't been simultaneously blessed with (a power that mostly replicates a) ring of sustenance and having a plant subtype (that is : just being solar powered.) must feed.

"So um, did you wanna try my w-water now?"

"I, um, uh, yeah." 

Eva blushes a little and nods. 

Phee blushes and nods back. And works on summoning up some of her water.

Belay that, she might need a few moments.

After working up her courage, Phee eventually summons up some of her water.

Best not to embarrass the poor girl more. 

It's really, really awkward to go and scoop some up in her bottle, but she manages it. 

... drinking it is harder.

"Okay, here goes, last chance to back out," Eva says, holding the plastic bottle of water out in front of her.

Phee gasps lightly as she's her water is scooped up.

... drinking it is harder.

That's not the only thing that's hard~.

Ignoring her uncomfortably active Horny, Phee tells Eva that it's fine and she's not backing out.

That's weird, It seems she forgot to include quotation marks say that out loud, she'll fix that now.

It seems that she still hasn't said it yet for some reason?.

Yeaaaaah okay what did she expect putting the ball in Phee's court. 

Phee's said that it's fine repeatedly, it's probably okay, it's incredibly embarrassing, but...

... but it would be incredibly dumb of her to take silence as consent when last time Phee did that to her and it super did not work out. 

She walks over and lays a hand gently on on Phee's shoulder, still holding the bottle in her other hand.

"It's okay," she says quietly. "If you want to do it, just nod, okay? If you don't nod we'll stop and we can try something else."

... but it would be incredibly dumb of her to take silence as consent when last time Phee did that to her and it super did not work out. 

"Ah but have you considered : It would obviously be fine if you did to Phee, obviously things only went wrong that because Phee was the one who did it." Is something Phee's Social Anxiety does not in fact say on account of not being a mind reader.

Phee startles slightly when she's surprised by Eva walking over and place her hand on her shoulder. Followed by weakly smiling at Eva and 

and nodding slightly.

"Okay."

Eva brings the bottle up to her mouth, and takes a drink. 

And then Phee will let out a startled moan.

She really should've been expecting how intense it feels (feeling herself splitting and flowing-) to be drunk (around Eva's tongue, feeling like it's inside her-) considering how the previous bits of contact felt but she still wasn't expecting (flowing down into Eva's throat and becoming part of her) to feel so

hot

erotic

pleasurable

intense...

That gets a little giggle from Eva.

She takes another drink, and swallows another gulp of water.

While it's kind of bad of her, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't enjoying geting some of her own back after Phee caught her having sex with Summer. 

Phee will try to pout when Eva giggles but she can't maintain it through the moans she involuntarily lets out as Eva continues drinking her.

Eva focuses, and drains the whole bottle with a little sigh of breath out.

"There we go," she says. 

Then she reaches out and pats Phee on the head. "Good girl."

Aww, over already?

The thing she's feeling after Eva finishes is definitely just relief and not at all disappointment.

"That was overall less of a big deal than I expected it to be." Eva smiles. "Now that you know what it feels like, do you mind doing that again a few more times over this afternoon?"

Phee shyly smiles back. "Y-yeah! It was v-very an experience... Um not in a bad that is! Err not to say that I necessarily enjoyed it an absurd amount or anything, but yeah I am fine with providing you water several more times today!"

Eva smiles. "Alright, then. I'm glad you enjoyed." 

She hums a note softly to herself and digs out her bag of GORP for her lunch.

Phee blushes harder at the claim she enjoyed it, but does not actually voice an objection. 

While Eva's doing that, Phee will just stand nearby, listening to her humming and soaking in some of the sun's rays.

It's a little awkward to just sit and eat alone, but she can't exactly hold a conversation while she's eating so she'll just have to live with it. 

It is! Unfortunately Phee does not have any food on herself that she'd enjoy eating, so they'll just be stuck stewing in awkwardness together.

After a few moments, Eva gets up the courage to ask. 

"Do you want some M&Ms? Or just some gorp? It's cool if you're not interested, it just feels awkward not to ask."

"Sure to the M&Ms, thanks! A-and sorry about the awkwardness?"

"It's cool!" 

Eva picks through her gorp a bit to get a handful of M&Ms together, then hands them over to Phee. "Here you go." 

Then she eats the double handful of peanuts and raisins she picked them out of. 

"Thanks!" And Phee will snack on them.

Her honor satisfied, Eva goes on and eats the rest of her lunch.

"Mind if I have a little more water?" she asks after her meal is done. 

"S-sure that's fine!"

You should ask her if she'd like some cum with her water.

No.

Eva gets out her bottles again. "This time I'll refill all my bottles so we don't have to keep going back to the spring."

She sits down on the sand and waits for Phee to summon her water again.

"That's reasonable!" And then she'll get to work summoning more water.

And Eva fills her pair of hard plastic bottles, as well as several glass ones. She doesn't bother to separate herself from the glass, this time. 

"There we go." 

And she takes a deep drink from one of the glass bottles, knocking back more of Phee's water. When she lowers the bottle again, there's a playful smile on her face.

Phee manages to avoid moaning from the feeling of (her water) being scooped up into bottles, even when Eva starts using the glass ones.

And then she fails immediately once Eva starts drinking her (water), letting out a flustered moan, followed by shyly pouting when she sees the look on Eva' face.

Eva smiles and runs a hand through her hair, and pulls out a brightly colored fruit with a shiny pink peel and a juicy firmness from her backpack. "So, fair's fair, you have an embarrassing power, I have one too. I'm going to eat some of this, um - I call it pussyfruit, to be perfectly honest - and then I'll get to sculpting, and you can listen to me have a fun time in your turn." 

She should instead eat our pussy-

We don't even have one of those.

Yet!

Ignoring her intrusive thoughts, and lingering disappointment at not being drunk more. Phee shrugs shyly and says. "Y-yeah that's fair and" resisting the urge to ask about why she calls it 'pussyfruit' as she'll most likely regret hearing the answer "can I watch you too while you sculpt, or just listen?"

"Yeah, you can definitely watch. I mean, you've already seen me in a much more compromising position, and I am drinking you. We're going to get here eventually, might as well shortcut it a bit." 

Eva goes and gets her cushion from in the tent and sets it down on the sand, then sits on it and takes big bites out of the pussyfruit. 

Gradually, her expression changes, a flush coming to her cheeks. Each swallowed bite seems to put more tension into her body, and by the end of the fruit she's making little happy mmmms after each bite. 

She giggles at the end, the laugh surprisingly high-pitched even for her feminized body, and makes little gripping motions with her fingers in the air in front of her. "Mmm, tingly. Tastes delicious, too." 

Then she gets a rakish grin, and buries her hands in the sand before her. The sand of the desert reacts to her hands, coming up in long tendrils that quickly solidify into glass, and she wraps coil after coil of glass into the rough shape of a vase, laying down layer after layer. 

After she settles the basic shape, she starts kneading the glass with her hands, it moving partly with the motions of her fingers, partly with her will. Her blush intensifies as her hands stroke the glass, massaging and kneading, and before long she's sighing and breathing fast. 

Her motions stay smooth, though, the clear product of practice, and steadily she shapes the glass closer towards its final form. 

"Yeah, you can definitely watch. I mean, you've already seen me in a much more compromising position, and I am drinking you. We're going to get here eventually, might as well shortcut it a bit." 

Phee nods. "That makes sense, thanks!" and then she'll sit down nearby to watch.

Gradually, her expression changes, a flush coming to her cheeks. Each swallowed bite seems to put more tension into her body, and by the end of the fruit she's making little happy mmmms after each bite.

D'aww, cute.

She giggles at the end, the laugh surprisingly high-pitched even for her feminized body, and makes little gripping motions with her fingers in the air in front of her. "Mmm, tingly. Tastes delicious, too."

We should ask if we can kiss her to get a taste of it too!

No!

After she settles the basic shape, she starts kneading the glass with her hands, it moving partly with the motions of her fingers, partly with her will. Her blush intensifies as her hands stroke the glass, massaging and kneading, and before long she's sighing and breathing fast. 

We should mess with her-

No!!!

Ignoring her various impulses that should not be indulged, Phee'll continue watching Eva sculpt and try to guess what the end object will be.

Gradually, Eva works out a long, curving neck for the vase, and a heart-shaped base. 

When her fingers dip into the neck of the vase to make the gap at its center, Eva lets out a harsh breath followed by a gentle moan. "Fuck..." she swears under her breath. 

Still, she continues, working out the kneck with her fingers inside it, making it sweep just that little bit higher and come out to a fluted rim.

Pretty. Phee is now wondering if Eva would make those same noises if she slid her fingers into the vase while she was connected.

Eva keeps stroking and working the vase, rounding its curves, finishing it out. Her breath is high and shivery, and her skin is flushed with sweat. 

Finally she pinches away a final globule of waste glass, rolls it in her hands in a rough marble, and tosses the marble of deep rose-pink glass over to Phee. 

"There," she announces with a grin. "Now I should have some water."

She opens her water-bottle and tips it back, and a full half-liter of Phee's water disappears down her throat in one long series of swallows. 

Phee continues watching Eva work and resisting her impulses to mess with the adorable focused Eva, or at least touch herself.

and tosses the marble of deep rose-pink glass over to Phee. 

Phee may have done alot bit of flailing around at suddenly having a marble tossed at her, in her (successful!) attempt to catch it.

She opens her water-bottle and tips it back, and a full half-liter of Phee's water disappears down her throat in one long series of swallows. 

Phee lets out a startled and distinctly loud series of moans at the sudden and unreasonably erotic sensation of entering Eva and flowing down her throat, and again and again as she swallows down all of the Phee that had been in that bottle.

You should fuck her, or tell her to take responsibility for her actions, or at the very least take responsibility for them yourself and bring yourself the last little bit of the way to orgasming.

Phee will eventually sit up and say.

"Um I um err I just remembered that I forgot to get off I mean turn off one of the uh lights in my cave, so I'm gonna brb and turn off I mean get off I mean turn off it!" 

And then she's gonna close her eyes and attempt to plane shift to her pocket dimension.

(And fail because of how unreasonably turned on she is.)

"Alright, if you insist." There's a teasing note in Eva's voice. "If you want something all you have to do is ask, you know."

"T-thanks! A-and I do know!"

And then she'll go back to attempting to plane shift.

After several minutes of failing to leave the plane, Phee will eventually shyly admit.

"I um, kinda wanna ask if we... that is to say... I'mreallyreallyhornyandwanttoaskyoutotakersponsiblity... or I mean if could m-maybe if you'd like have s-sex? butit'dalsofeellikeabadideatoask..." Because the last time she let Horny direct things and had sex, she messed things up.

"I thought you'd never ask. Good girl!"

Eva reaches out and firmly pets Phee's hair again. 

"Thank you, honestly. I don't know if it's the food or the planar atmosphere or just my habits, but my libido's gotten significantly stronger over the last year or so and right now it's crying out that it wants you." 

She brushes some of Phee's hair away from her face.

"May I kiss you?"

"I thought you'd never ask. Good girl!"

Eva reaches out and firmly pets Phee's hair again. 

Nooo, saying it like that and petting her makes her feel like a pet.

Phee will preen at the praise and lean in and nuzzle against the pets.

"May I kiss you?"

Phee shyly smiles at Eva and blurts out a "Of course!" in response to her question without even thinking about it, and continuing her streak of not thinking, follows up with. "Youshouldfeelfreetodowhateveryouliketome!"

"Whatever I like, huh? That's quite the blank check." 

Eva leans in and kisses Phee gently on her lips.

Then she worms forward into Phee's lap and straddles her.

"Alright, then." 

She kisses Phee again, then again, then trails her kisses slowly down to the crook of her neck, mixing in gentle teasing nibbles with her teeth.

"Whatever I like, huh? That's quite the blank check." 

"I'm sure you won't at all even a little bit take advantage of such a check!" in a way she wouldn't enjoy Phee will shyly lean into and return the kiss.

Once she starts straddling her lap, Phee begins needily grinding against the Eva while letting out weak shy moans as she kisses down along her neck, with them getting louder whenever she's nibbled.

Eva embraces Phee, and grinds back, her hands trailing down Phee's back until one of them grabs a firm handful of her ass. 

She kisses Phee again, bites her lip, and grins. "What a cutie." 

She presses Phee down, and tendrils of glass come up from the sands to wrap around her despite her squirming, pinning her down against the ground and wrapping her upper body in glass. Eva leans back, the glass melting off her, and trails her hands along Phee's inner thighs, smirking evilly.

Phee happily returns the Eva's embrace, wiggling lightly as hands trail down her back and gasping as her butt is grabbed and helplessly trying to wiggle out.

She kisses Phee again, bites her lip, and grins. "What a cutie." 

"Well you're a cutie cute, so there!"

And when despite her best efforts to wiggle away, Eva traps her in her glass, Phee will shyly asks while squirmingly helplessly.

"Oh nooooo, you've got me completely trapped now, whatever are you planning to do with this weak 'innocent'  defenseless maiden misstr- miss Eva?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out." Eva grins and grinds her palm into Phee's crotch, feeling her up shamelessly. 

"Uwah, I'm quaking in terror" More like arousal  "at the thought of what it might be~" Phee shyly grins back at Eva and tries to thrust into her touch.

Eva smiles, and takes her time wriggling down Phee's sweatpants before she lifts her hips and slips them slowly off. Then she presses in between Phee's legs and gently kisses her right inner thigh, her other hand on her knee keeping her legs apart. 

Phee wiggles lots in an attempt to make it easier harder for have to remove her sweatpants, and fails.

"eeeeeee" Phee is finding her inner thighs feeling even more sensitive then usual when Eva kisses them,with Phee unable to decide between trying to pull away, or to try and push her thighs into the kissing.

Eva lingers for a while, going back and forth from one thigh to the other with soft kisses, then takes a deep breath and slips her hands up to pull down Phee's waistband and free her cock. 

... She kisses that, too. Starting at the base of the shaft and slowly working her way up towards the head. 

She's a little flushed now, too. Her free right hand is between her legs, stroking herself through her skirt.

Phee blushes much harder when Eva exposes her cock, and valiantly resists the urge to flail even harder due to not wanting to risk accidentally flinging some of the precum onto Eva even if it would be hot.

Something that gets much much harder just like her as Eva begins kissing her cock.

"Y-you better be c-careful, if you keep up like that, I'll cum!"

Her free right hand is between her legs, stroking herself through her skirt.

Ohfuck why is seeing and hearing Eva beginning to stroke herself making this even hotter.

"Oh, not to worry about that." Eva gets a pointed grin. "So long as you're in my glass, you can't." 

She lowers her head, and suckles the tip of Phee's cock, lapping with her tongue even as she feels herself up.

The fact that she didn't just cum proves that Eva's telling the truth about that.

"Uwah, that's so so ho- I mean evil!!!!" Look at how helplessly the Phee is squirming now, anything that does that must be evil.

She lowers her head, and suckles the tip of Phee's cock, lapping with her tongue even as she feels herself up.

Wait never mind, Eva, and the feeling of her suckling and lapping her cock almost like the feeling of her swallowing her (water) earlier, is incredibly good.

And Eva gets to work. 

She wasn't experienced at this a year ago, but over the three hundred sixty five days of her time in pink desert she's had to learn fast, and she seems to have had good instincts downloaded into her brain by the connection to this plane. 

Which goes to say, her tongue game is actually pretty damn good by now. She knows how to build a rhythm, how to tune to her partner, and how to focus right in on the frenulum and really give her partner a good time. 

She puts all those skills to use right now, lapping and suckling, her head bobbing as she strokes herself in time with her suckles at Phee's cock. She's got the endurance to give Phee a very, very good time and she's going to use every bit of it. 

And Phee will, as Eva puts her skills to the task of giving her a good time, scream and moan and cry from pleasure, intermingling with praising Eva and her skills in every way (she only may have called Eva a goddess once or twice or a couple dozen times, alright?!!), and the occasional moments of lucidity wherein she tries to give feedback on when something felt particularly good. And weakly trying to grind and thrust her cock into Eva's mouth.

Awww, how cute. 

Eventually even Eva's stamina starts to flag. The heat between her own legs has reached a fever pitch, the joy of taking Phee apart singing in her heart. It's fun to win for once. 

"Does someone want to come?" she finally teases. "Give up and I'll let you, cutie." 

"Idodododdodoo!!" Phee mewls needily before managing to process the rest of what Eva said.

"W-what w-will you d-do if I g-give u-up?"

"I said, I'll let you come." Eva grins. "I'll take this enshrouding glass away and keep sucking until you finally spend your load in my mouth. Isn't that wonderful?~"

Phee weakly smiles at Eva. "P-please do that, it sounds w-wonderful I give up?"

"Good girl." 

The glass around Phee shrinks away, concentrating down into a small deep-pink jewel. 

Eva's eyebrows jump, but she smiles and pockets the jewel... 

And then lowers her head to kiss and suckle at Phee's cock again, focusing in hard with all her skill to drive her over the edge. 

Phee preens happily at the praise, and uses her newly freed hands to try and gently pet the Eva, and moans in delight  as Eva starts sucking again and gets to work bringing her the rest of the way to orgasm. Followed by letting out her loudest moan yet as finally gets the relief of orgasm and spurts her cum into Eva's mouth.

And definitely isn't at all disappointed by her cum lacking the proprioceptive sense her water had. 

Eva swallows, laps Phee clean, then leans back and grins. 

"Well," she says. "That was fun." She gives Phee some firm petting on her hair and shoulders and sighs out firmly, her breath stilling. "You were a very, very good girl." 

She reaches into her skirt - right next to the obvious tent of her cock - and pulls out the little jewel that her glass turned into. 

"Well," she says. "That answers that question." 

She looks over at Phee, and holds the jewel out in her palm. "Have a look at that. Do you know what you're looking at?"

Phee happily nuzzles into the petting. "T-thanks! you were very very very very good too and I'm glad you had f-fun!"

Phee is gonna try and flop next to and snuggle Eva now.

And move to help to relieve the dear Eva of her cock's hard-

Ignores her horniness resurgence and tries to pay attention to the gem Eva was showing her (and not the cock she's not).

"It's..."

"... A pretty gem made from your glass?"

"It's a pretty gem made from your spirit. It seems you're enough of an erokami to count." 

Eva smiles. "I beat you in a sex fight, so I get a little piece of you. It's enough I could choose to compel you to do one service for me... though I won't. What I might do is make a bracelet out of it to hopefully help with my medication. I bet you're a water spirit, since you make water." 

"It works like that??"

"Cool!"

And ignoring the feelings she's definitely not having about the thought of something containing a piece of her being made into jewelry for Eva-

And all the things she could potentially compel us into with the marble if she wanted to take advantage-

Phee follows up with. "I-i hope it is able to help with that!"

"Um also I've noticed that you're looking pretty hot- I mean hard wait I don't mean to say that you're not hot, cause you are very hot! I just meant that i was trying to say something about your being hard originally which is that I wanted to ask if" you'd make me "I could h-help you with that?"

"I would love it if you could help with that." Eva grins, runs a hand possessively down Phee's back, and puts the jewel away safely.

"Yay! I'd love to help you with it!"

While leaning into Eva's touch, Phee will somewhat shyly move to pull down Eva's skirt and release her cock.

Eva actually flushes a little. 

It's different when it's someone from Earth. 

Her cock bounces free, still quite hard. She's not wearing any underwear beneath her skirt. 

Cutee, Phee will go to-

Resist her impulse to start playing with Eva's cock and ask gently.

"Are you okay? It's fine if you change your mind on wanting me to touch your c-cock?"

She opens her eyes and nods. 

"Yeah. I... it feels more intimate, doing it with someone who might see me as more than a good lay. But I'm okay."

Gentle smile at Eva. "I'm glad you're okay, would it make it feel too intimate for you, or would you like me to start touching your" beautiful tasty delectable looking "cock, or would you need a bit to think on it or...?"

Eva smiles. "I would like you to..." She pauses, considers her words. "Suck it, actually."

"As you command, milady!"

And then Phee will slowly go and wrap her mouth around the tip of Eva's cock, being careful about her teeth. (And trying not to get distracted by new and weird it feels to have a cock in her mouth for the first time.) And gently attempt to suck.

Ooh. Her technique's good, for someone who's supposedly not had any cocks in her mouth before. 

Eva flushes a little, and pets Phee's back and hair gently, trying to guide her motions a little.

Ooh. Her technique's good, for someone who's supposedly not had any cocks in her mouth before. 

Listen, she just has read moderate amount of fic featuring girl cock being sucked, alright?? And also probably has more sex superpowers helping.

Phee preens at the pets and tries her best to let Eva guide her motions and follow her guiding.

And pretty quickly Eva starts to come apart. She's been teasing herself the whole time she was giving Phee head, and she's not trying to hold back now; she wants to come. 

"Ahhhhhh, oh, wow. You're, ah, sure you've never done this before?"

Phee happily speeds up her technique as she hears how much Eva is enjoying, and in response to her question, makes a "Mhm!" of agreement and nods her head in a bobbing motion integrated with her sucking.

Eva smiles. "Yeah... think you got the same, fuck, slate of instincts I did, then..."

She closes her eyes, lays back, and enjoys, still guiding Phee, her cock twitching hard in her mouth as she starts to come up to the edge.

Phee would say "That makes sense of a few things and you're probably right!" except her mouth is a bit too busy sucking cock at the moment to say anything other then a "Mhm!" of agreement.

Phee keeps her own eyes open so she can watch the cute expressions Eva makes as she does her best to pleasure her. Happily going where Eva guides her head, and beginning to gently stroke and tease the base of her cock with her hands.

Eva's breath rushes and falls, sharpening, turning to gasps, and she finally whimpers out her pleasure as she comes in Phee's mouth, filling it up with her seed. 

"Haaaaaaaaah fuck..." Eva opens her eyes and gives Phee a deep and glowing grin. "Fuck yes." 

Phee lets out a surprised moan of her own when Eva cums and begins to fill her mouth with her delicious seed, and happily takes it all in.

And once it feels like she's stopped cumming, Phee gently pulls away from her cock, grins back at Eva and  goes to kiss her (albeit slowly in case Eva objects).

Eva does not mind kissing Phee at all. 

The taste of her on Phee's lips is surprisingly sweet. She supposes she's been changing slowly from all the local fruit she's eaten...

She hugs Phee close and squeezes. 

Phee preens at Eva accepting the kiss, and happily snuggles her close and squeezes back.

Eva snuggles Phee, pressing in skin to skin in the desert sands. 

"That... was really, really fun. You're a good lay." Eva smiles. "I hope you enjoyed that too?"

Phee blushes slightly at being called a good lay and replies.

"Thanks! You were really good too, and it was really fun for me!"

"Careful, or I might start getting attached." Eva strokes her hand down Phee's back in aimless, wandering patterns, just touching her for the joy of her skin beneath her hand. 

"O-oh, s-sorry? I'll try being more careful with my compliments?" Phee is going to ignore the feelings she's definitely not having about the thought Eva getting attached and instead focus on the gentle joy of Eva's hand casually stroking along her body.

"You really are an anxious thing, aren't you? It's okay. I don't mind getting attached to you. Obviously it's up to you if you want that too, but..." She digs her fingers in at the top of Phee's neck and gives her firm skritches through her hair. 

"I'm not t-that anxious, am I? And... I maybe wouldn't mind that either or possibly even complicatedly like it?" Phee is gonna close her eyes and nuzzle into the scritches for a bit now.

"I'd love to hear about your feelings there, however messy they may be." 

Eva hums gently and leans in close, closing her eyes.

"Oki! I'll try and share them if I can figure out how to put them into words!" And then she'll spend snuggling and trying to figure out what to say.

"So like... part of it is that it'd just feel nice having someone care and be attached to me? but there'd also be... Worryuncertainity about my own ability to reciprocate? and well willingness to, because i am fundamentally a selfish person and I don't know the exact point at which the parts of me that care about other people would be vetoed from caring more by the other parts of me?"

"You, a selfish person?" Eva gives Phee a dubious look. "Selfish people don't stick their necks out for strangers the way you already have for me, you know?"

Well it doesn't count when she does it.

"Okay well yes you've got a point there, but..." Phee is not sure how to finish that sentence.

"Give yourself a little more credit."

Eva firmly squeezes Phee and hums softly against her.

"I guess I should considering what you said... But only a little! I still think there's something important in thinking of myself as selfish." 

Phee squeaks lightly at being squeezed and then firmly hugs Eva back in response.

"Alright, if you insist I shan't push. But I like you. It was... really nice to do this. But if you're not interested in something romantic, that's okay. You're still... definitely better than Summer, if I may be boorish enough to make the comparison."

But what if she is interested in something romantic.

Why are you like this brain.

“T-thanks! And doing this was really nice for me too, A-and I’m glad you like me, and making that comparison is fine though it does leave me feeling a bit guilty for some dumb reason  and um…”

”I’m not not interested in something romantic? Or well that is to say…”

”Mrrr words are hard, like being intimate was nice, not like even the sex specific specifically, being held and hugging and snuggling is nice and being friends is nice and I’d like to do more stuff like it? Just also…”

“A part of me is scared of going too far for me to keep up with or even want to keep up with long term and not being able to dial things back without hurting you or permanently damaging or even ruining our burgeoning friendship…”

Phee is just gonna bury her head in Eva’s neck now and take a break from speaking for a bit.

Eva softly hugs Phee. 

"The thing to do is say that up front, then. That way, if it happens, I was warned, you know? And look at you, you're saying it up front. So..."

She kisses Phee's forehead softly.

"Whatever happens, happens. If we stick together, that's okay; if we drift apart, that's okay too. I don't think pulling away out of the fear that you might need to later is... really all that sensible."

Something being insensible has never stopped us before.

Phee is going to crygiggle and needily hug Eva back.

”T-thanks and that’s a really good point yeah.”

She’s going to at least work up to look at Eva for this next part instead of hiding her face the crook of her neck.

”So um would you wanna try out trying out parts of being g-girlfriends together with me?”

Eva smiles, and meets Phee's gaze. "As much as you'd like to."

Phee beams back at Eva. “I think I’d like that very much.”

"Alright." 

Eva dips in, and gently kisses Phee on the lips. 

"Let's get ourselves cleaned up and back into the tent, then, and we can spend some time together. As girlfriendsish."

Phee will gently return the kiss and join Eva in doing that.

”Sure!”
