"Mutilated?"

Lean. "Elves practically never have it short, definitely never cut it - Findekáno doesn't mind it and I think it's wonderfully appealing but the first time people encountered it it was like meeting people who voluntarily cut off their toes..."

"So he - got the idea from them?"

"Was curious if it helped with the headaches. It didn't, but he liked it, so he kept it. There are a few others now but it's awfully rare. Some people find it hurts."

"Huh. Fun facts." ...scritch.

Wiggle whimper.

Giggle.

Retaliatory neck-kissing.

And now Cor will have a harder time scritching effectively, although he can reach behind himself and try.

That calls for retaliation beyond neck-kissing! Convenient how they're undressed.

Okay yep now Cor is insufficiently coordinated to carry on good job Maitimo.

He is awfully pleased with himself indeed.

What is he going to do with his armful of moaning human?

All kinds of things!!

Eeeeeeeeeee~

He will not snuggle up to sleep with his Cor until his Cor is very very tired, importance of ongoing projects be damned.

Cor does not call a halt early. He gets very very tired and then flops on Maitimo and sleeps.

Maitimo happily sleeps beside him.

Cozy.

Cor talks in his sleep.

Awwwww.

Many random nouns later he yawns awake. "G'morning."

"Morning." Hug. 

"That was awesome but if you're like that all the time I may need occasional breaks."

"I would be kind of an appallingly bad person if I exhausted you too much for you to kill my god." Kiss. "All the breaks you need."

"Is that what Findekáno's for? Or am I how he gets breaks?"
