"Um. Not exactly. I mean a lot of it is that I don't know how reliably I could tell if you were enjoying yourself, if you make a noise that isn't a word I won't know, I can tell the difference between smiling and frowning but I haven't put everything together to identify other - possible expressions, I don't want to mess up or get more carried away than you'd like me to and not know it right away."

"I see what you mean, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I really don't know how to come up with a rule."

keep_busy

"I suppose I could try to restrain myself to very short bursts and wait for you to tell me what you think of them afterwards."

first-and-final

"That sounds like a potentially functional solution."

So she leans forward and cups his face in her hands and kisses him on the lips.

first-and-final

Stalas kisses back. His knowledge of this subject is entirely theoretical, but he is interested in gaining a practical understanding. And in causing Annie to make happy faces.

keep_busy

...Well, if he's going to do that it's going to derail her plan to stop promptly. Kiss!

Does she know she's making that needy little whining noise? Probably not.

first-and-final

It is a good noise. Stalas appreciates it. Clearly the best thing to do about the noise is: more kisses.

keep_busy

She manages to pull her head back for both "breathing" and "letting Stalas utter language if he feels moved to do so" purposes, which lasts about half a second, but then she's back to kissing him and making those noises in considerable quantity.

first-and-final

Stalas does not feel moved to utter language. Stalas feels moved to kiss her some more.

keep_busy

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

first-and-final

Success!

keep_busy

...Okay, in keeping with the short bursts of activity thing, her hands migrate from his face in small decorous increments with breath-taking (...) pauses in kisses timed to permit him to object if he's going to object.

first-and-final

He does not object! He does kiss her. A lot.

keep_busy

That is really really good.

...Okay, operating under the assumption that all the logical extrapolations from "humans and dwarves can have children" apply and that her definition of "normal marital activities" is as it should be she might as well go for broke. In. Very. Small. Increments. With a lot of kissing.

first-and-final

Stalas does not feel the need to warn her off this course of action at any point. This is a good course of action and he approves of it.

keep_busy

Annie approves too and she definitely does not know that she is making all those noises or how loudly she's doing it.

first-and-final

He might have to let her know at some point if they're going to be moving back into the palace and living down the hall from his brother, but for now? They are good noises and he does not want her to stop making them.

keep_busy

Well, then, he will not have to interrupt anything they're doing!

Until he has other plans, because Annie is probably not going to be the first to think of somewhere else she would like to be. Or he could flagrantly cheat with his glowing lyrium powers and completely exhaust her and sneak out while she was asleep. That would also be okay with her.

first-and-final

The second thing. The second thing is the thing that happens.

keep_busy

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Happy mumbly Annie. (Those are probably words, but they are all in Noregrsk.)

first-and-final

Happy mumbly Annie is adorable. Time for Stalas to spend the remainder of the day talking politics with Bhelen, then all night talking modern engineering practices with Caridin and a big pile of books, then come back and curl up with happy mumbly Annie and have a very brief nap.

keep_busy

Annie wakes up enough to be delighted about snuggles and configure them comfortably and then zzzzzzzzzzz "fjord" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
