"Yes! That!" Adoring smile.

He grins at her.

Smiiiiile.

"... I should probably actually get out of bed if I have any hope of Zeothe not immediately realizing we've spent all day having sex."

...giggle. "All right, that's fair."

She leans up to kiss him, then gently disentangles herself.

"It's probably a lost cause, but I'm motivated to try."

He kisses her and hugs her and lets her go.

Eselle gives him another adoring smile, and then stretches and crawls out of bed to go get cleaned up. ... She's probably going to need a bath. That's fine, she can have a bath.

Watching her have a bath would probably not be conducive to the success of her stated goals. He flops lazily in bed instead.

Being watched by the Emperor while she bathes probably wouldn't help with her stated goals, no.

She gets cleaned up and presentable, in a lovely new dress and everything. Then she can go see her Emperor again.

"You're so pretty. I love you."

"I love you too," she says, fondly, sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling at him. Adoringly.

"If we keep looking at each other like this, we're so going to end up fucking all day."

"I am fully capable of looking at you adoringly without it evolving into sex," she sniffs. "If you expect to have failures in self control that's your problem."

"Are you sure?"

"Mmhmm. Shockingly enough I'm pretty satisfied at the moment."

"Well now I'm just tempted to take that as a challenge."

She laughs.

"Okay, admittedly I might not be able to banter with you without it evolving into sex."

He grins.

Eselle smiles back at him.

"Are you going to put on clothes?"

"Eventually."

"Ah huh."

"It's not like getting dressed takes me any time or effort."

"You'd think it being easy and instantaneous would mean you'd get dressed sooner, without inertia to combat," she teases, amused.

"No, it means I don't need to bother until the very moment when I actually have to have clothes on."

"Lounging around naked is clearly so very important."
