"I appreciate it, but there's probably nothing that can be done, considering most of them have healed this way already..."
"Well, you never know. But it's up to you."
...Dani's hands might get just a little wander-y...
Carrie eeps if she is the target of wanderations!
((Dedtiem))
"If you think there's a shot at getting me fixed to some extent, sure, I guess we can try..."
If Dani's hands wander in her direction, she'll stiffen for a moment, as that brings up some rather unpleasant memories, then slowly start to relax.
Dani notices the stiffness, and pauses, just letting her hand stay gently in place until Kari relaxes.
...Carrie gets a little more wandering.
((*Peers at post suspiciously*
...There's only one hand wandering on each of them, right? Or has Dani decided to take over the role of "Girl-with-too-many-arms"?))
(One on each of them. Dani only has two arms and no tentacles no matter how much she'd like it otherwise. :smalltongue:)
(Nor can this Karyana give her any more. Though the other one would be happy to, I'm sure... :smalltongue:)
Carrie gives several more little squeaks of mild alarm.
Dani might find the water trying to grab the wrist of the hand wandering over Carrie.
Karyana, meanwhile, will take a few minutes to relax, though she doesn't seem to mind Dani's hand staying where it is, nor will that one be grabbed for by the water.
Dani eeps, and blushes as the hand is grabbed.
"Sorry. I didn't think...I can stop..."
She leaves the hands in place, clearly ready to remove them.
((Alas, this Dani is the one more likely to like such changes. :smalltongue:)
Carrie sighs and ruffles Dani's hair.
'S alright.
When she apologizes and pauses, the hand dissolves back into normal water.
Karyana nods, smiling weakly at her.
"It's just that it brought up some bad memories... I don't mind it from you, it's just a reflex."
"Alright." Dani nods, clearly understanding, but doesn't resume her hand motions.
She does leave her hands in place, though. In...interesting...positions.
"If you ever want to....I dunno, talk or anything. I'm here. But if not that's cool too!"
Carrie relaxes and snuggles closer.
Karyana relaxes as well, resting her head on Dani's shoulder, and nodding.
"Maybe at some point, then... For now I think I just want to forget the past year or so."
"That's alright," Dani says, somehow managing to avoid appending an exclamation point, and kisses Karyana's cheek, then Carrie's.
Hands still in place.
Karyana is fine with all of that, and, in fact, reaches up after a moment to hold Dani's hand where it is, possibly trying to reaccustom herself to this kind of contact.
Dani smiles encouragingly at that, her eyes sparkling with hope and reassurance.
Carrie gently squeezes Dani's other hand.
Karyana smiles back, and, after a minute or two, releases Dani's hand, giving a faint nod to her as she does.
Dani squeezes Carrie's hand back, and at Karyana's nod, starts the other hand slowly caressing, gently and softly.
Carrie snuggles close and giggles a little.
Karyana still seems a bit tense at first, but as Dani continues, she relaxes, and snuggles more tightly against her new friends.
"Thanks for coming after me, Carrie... I'm glad I didn't end up missing all of this."
"Thanks for coming back," Dani whispers, starting her other hand wandering just a little on Carrie as well as she snuggles close!
Carrie sighs happily and snuggles closer.
"You're welcome, Dani... Of course, at the time, the only reason I did was that I was worried for Carrie, since she's got the wings and everything, and I thought this was like the last temple I was in, but still.
Oh. And I, um, wasn't entirely truthful when we met... Sorry."
"You don't need to be. It's alright," Dani whispered, keeping her hands slowly and gently moving and closing her eyes with a smile.
Aw, look, Carrie dozed off!
"Okay... I just wanted to make sure you knew, and that I told you my name is actually Karyana, not Aernis," Karyana replies, hands starting to wander very slightly as well, though on seeing that Carrie has dozed off, she pauses, smiling. "We should probably get her dried off and into a bed, huh?"
