Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

Edelweiss' face in response to that was really hard to describe at the moment. Part of her was busy wondering how Amon managed to be that adorable and feeling like she would melt into a puddle due to radioactive levels of cuteness overload; another part, however, was a little... disappointed? And maybe a little pouty. It wasn't fair to tease her like that and then just tap her nose and gain distance. So cold.
She let out a small sigh, then smiled a little. Well, that had been sweet afterall. "True, I had kind of expected the work increase lately for us both, but still hope it'll get back to more normal levels after things settle down."

He then backed his head a little to get a better look at her face. "What wrong? You sorta made a...disappointed...expression...?"

She didn't know if she wanted - or could - talk of that. It was awkward. Very. And there was a reasonable possibility he would laugh at it. Then again, as there are no mindreaders in the room, it's not like she could expect him to just instantly know. Sigh. "It was rather mean to tease me that much and just back off." And she'd appreciate if he doesn't do that again. She knew for a fact he liked to see her red, and usually it amused her too, just... not at that level. Not when he didn't actually mean it.
Amon blinked, a devious smile forming on his face. Oh...he was going to have a lot of fun with this knowledge!
But that would have to wait until later. As for right now...
"Sorry about that," he apologized. He moved back into her neck, started with the nuzzling, and adding a few extra kisses here and there before making his way up to her lips. He paused for a second, centimeters from her lips, before going in for a long, passionate kiss.
When it was over, he stayed where he was, his face close to hers. "Was that better? Or would you like to...continue in a more...comfortable setting...?"

And there was Amon pulling that little face of his again. He was plotting something, and she kept a note in the back of her own mind to watch out for it, but at the moment she's too busy with other things to care. "Apology accepted." She whispered back with a little smile of her own that had nothing to do with getting tickled.
"Though as for the 'comfortable' part, that'll depend on you - since at the moment I'm a little stuck on this couch." She stated still with that tiny grin, pointing out that when the matter was leaving the couch to anywhere else he pretty much had her in a (loose) pin while keeping his arm wrapped around her like that. Surely, she could get free if made a little effort for it... but why would she.

"I could say the same to you," Amon responded, noting Edel's own arms wrapped around him.
"Well, I'll turn it back to you..." he continued, reluctantly losening his arm around her. "I could continue to cuddle and tease you here, or..." he stroked her cheek, "I could go...lower..."

Amon had a point on that. Still, Edelweiss couldn't help the little (not really unpleasant) shiver that ran down her spine at his last comment. His touch lingered on her skin, and she still had the faint feeling of his fingers brushing her cheek even after they where gone. She was probably blushing slightly again.
"Fair enough..." She relented with an amused smile, switching her loose hug stance for just holding his hand and linking their fingers. "Though also fair warning, I never went further than this before." She didn't need to fret and ask that he 'be gentle'. He always was (to her at least) with everything they did, and therefore a worry she didn't have. But she did find fair to warn him if she accidentaly does anything awkward.

"Well..." Amon replied, taking her hand, "I never had a lover before, so I guess this is a first for both of us..."
Despite his usual wry smile, his confidence, bolstered by his earlier teasing, faltered just a tad; both at her super effective expression, and by an underlying nervousness at the journey they were about to embark. He couldn't help but inwardly curse, as he knew she would see it in his eye.
Still, there was no turning back now; his pride as a man, both a blessing and a curse (though at times, mostly a curse), wouldn't allow it.
"Shall we?"

She looked at him more intently then. He was nervous, and that was slipping out and showing in his gaze. Kind of adorable, really, and so... so him. It made her smile a little again. Not in a mocking manner.
Each step seemed to take longer than usual, in that odd manner time stretches and teases people about things they antecipate, and she figured there was no need for a verbal response to his last question. There should be a response though. 'Shall we?' With that little smile still present, she let go of his hand to reach out to his cheek and tilted her head up slightly to meet his mouth with hers. Just the teasing ghost of a kiss, very very delicately (and barely) brushing her lips against him, before turning and slipping beyond the door held ajar into her room. With something else she slipped off stolen between her fingers.

That smile...did she notice he was nervous? That was not an unkind smile. How far is it to her room? How big is her place anyways? Would this be okay? What if he messed up? He never really asked of her preferences before; what if he couldn't satisfy her?
A number of questions buzzed in Amon's head as anxiety started to build in his stomach.
However, all of that was blown away when she turned to lightly kiss him, before darting into her room with his hair tie.
"You little minx," he muttered with a smile, his hair fanning out behind him. Mind clear of troubles, and seeking revenge for her own little tease, he darted in her room after her, closing the door behind him with a quick, but gentle 'click.'

(timeskip for the sake of keeping it PG13) --- Some hours later ---
Dawn crept into the room, tinting things with mild tones of pink and golden. There were times, when she's awake enough, that Edelweiss quite liked the view of sunrise from her windows - today she's definitely not awake enough for it. Yesterday had been exhausting, and she'd be dratted if had to work on a sunday morning without there being a considerable emergency being presented. Besides, she was too comfortable to move at the moment. Enough to sleep perfectly still, having a warm body to lean against through the night, and now just dozing lightly in the early daylight.
So go away, sun.
She still needs 5 minutes before acnowledging morning is real.

It was starting to get brighter, the sun bringing the morning with it, threatening to ruin the absolute bliss Amon was having and wake him up from his wonderful drea-
Wait.
It was too bright, strange sensations were pulsing down his right arm, his bed was way more comfortable than he remembered, and there was something warm and pleasant leaning into his left side...
Amon slowly awoke, blinking away the sleep. Yeah. This was definitely not his room. As he rubbed the sleep away from his eye, he turned to face the angel resting right next to him.
Oh yeah. Better than a dream.
He smiled as he watched Edel dozing next to him, remembering the last time he saw her sleeping face.
"If this was all it took to get her to sleep still, I would've done this back then..." he thought, amused at thought of being Edel's oversized teddy bear.

If back when he had last seen the redhead sleeping (when she was injured and didn't know him all that well) he had tried to get on her bed along her, it'd likely have ended in him getting flipped off the mattress and Abby having to redo her stitches yet again - so good thing he didn't. There was something called 'timing' for her still. But everything was alright now.
Some light stirring on the side caught Edelweiss' attention, and she figured her 'human teddybear' was at least partially awake now too. She still didn't want to move, but relented to the fact she would have to soon or later anyway. "Good morning." She greeted, remaining still for a couple extra seconds before gathering will to open her eyes and prop herself up in more of a sitting position. "Slept well?"

"Mhmm..." Amon sleepily replied, reaching out to hold her hand, eyeing her beautiful form. Sunrises were nice and all, but this view was much better.
"How about you?"

"I did." She replied simply, his sleepy response making a soft smile grow on her lips. He was looking at her with this adoring look as if she was an angel or something, but being honest with herself she felt really blessed then. For the past hours as well, but mainly for seeing that face first thing in the morning. He did have her favorite smile afterall. "Do you have work today?"
