[ She rolls her eyes at Aloy's attempt at being smooth- it lights something in her, the spark a combination of how long they've been apart and her own stubborn spirit. In response to Aloy's inquiry Zero leans in, kissing her on the mouth, finding both comfort and something less wholesome in the gesture. It's a deep kiss, slow as they come but her tongue is ruthless. When Zero pulls away there is still the thinnest line of saliva connecting them. ]
Yeah, should be.
[ Is all she offers in response.
She's moving again, this time to pull Ivy off of her back. ]
Go eat.
[ There is some resistance from Ivy, though it dissipates once she realizes Aloy isn't going further away than a few steps. ]>
It wasn't easy- Beta had to work them over. Never seen a group of people so spooked over plumbing.
[ She sits when Aloy does. Ivy tugs at the neckline of her clothing, as babies do when in close proximity to their food source. ]
There's a girl in the tribe who helped get them to agree. I don't think it's the plumbing that had her all worked up, if you catch my drift.
[It takes her by surprise, though it shouldn't. These games of one-upping one another had become less common as the two of them fell into the hectic life of raising two children, but their attraction for one another hadn't waned. The kiss is slow and thorough, and Aloy is flushed and out of breath by the end of it. Dumbfounded, she offers no resistance as Ivy is pulled away from her. As Zero leaves, however, she mutters under her breath:]
Jerk.
[It takes her a moment to remember what she was doing. She listens, eating while sitting with her back against the wall. These little habits were commonplace in her — as if she were always prepared to go somewhere else in a hurry. She's relaxed, despite this. The stew is good, the company better. She half-smiles at Zero's updates, only to look up, suddenly, at the remark about Beta.]
