It's a quieter, gentler sort of affection than she's used to from Zero, and so her triumphant smile fades to something more subdued when she takes her face into her hands. It's still uncommon for Zero to talk about her life before she'd arrived on GAIA's Earth, and so Aloy falls silent to listen. What she says makes Aloy's own face soften, and her eyes mist over, flicker away and down.

"No one's ever said anything like that to me before." There's a weak little huff of a laugh at that, hoarse-sounding. "You've already given me so much — it'd be selfish to want for more. But... I would have liked that. To be with you."

The silence that follows after is comfortable, until Zero speaks again, and Aloy's whole face flushes. She swallows visibly, fighting down her initial flare of embarrassment. "That's... a lot to unpack." She debates it, then with a sigh, she adds, begrudgingly. "But it was." She leans forward then, in subdued eagerness.

"What else did you like?"

Zero tips them backward and Aloy allows it, wrapping an arm around her to brace her fall. Without her usual inhibition, she buries her face in Zero’s chest, intimate without being erotic, her ear pressed to where her heart beats. For a time she does nothing but listen, soothed by their closeness and Zero’s voice, the rare sound of her laughter. She does look up to respond, both eyebrows raised.

“I wouldn’t-” She’s embarrassed again. Her hand comes up to cover her mouth at the thought. “You seriously want me to do that?” She didn’t even know that was a thing that people did. “I was…” A pause. She struggles with this, admitting to being anything less than composed. “Frustrated, I guess. I wanted you to enjoy yourself. You’ve been so,” high-strung is the first word that comes to mind and she amends it before she accidentally blurts it out, “stressed about everything. And with the birth, and everything that happened before, I was worried about you.”

It’s not only rare to hear an apology from Zero, it’s downright unheard of, and Aloy is quiet and surprised in the wake of it. She lifts her head away from Zero’s chest to study her face, and reaches up to stroke her cheek. It’s tender, this gesture, meant to soothe. She is silent for a time, working out what to say, and then she speaks in the calm and reassuring way that was customary of her.

“It’s alright. I get it. But remember that you aren’t alone in all this. I’m looking out for her. I’m looking out for you too — that’s what being a family is about.”

She adds, “And the entire tribe is crazy about her, you know. Not to mention Beta and Zo. I think they’d take down an entire battalion of machines before they let anything happen to her. It’s…” She smiles some, and it’s tinged with melancholy. “It’s funny. Some part of me was afraid that history would repeat itself. It’s still a little surreal — seeing how eager everyone is to help.” Having a support system at all.

Even if she wanted to answer in the negative, the strap has different ideas: languidly, it twitches back to life inside of Zero. Aloy glances up, seemingly at something in the distance. She makes an expression that could only be called sheepish.

"Hm- I, uh. I guess so." Some of her embarrassment fades once the confession is out. She props herself up on her elbows. "There's not much you could ask me that I wouldn't do for you." Her voice is a bit strained for all her apparent relaxation. "And there's not a lot you could do to me that I wouldn't like."

She shifts beneath Zero, swallows. "Tell me the appeal, first. Why you want it."

"I'm not being an egghead..." She mumbles, still more than a little embarrassed over the toy giving her away. "What's wrong with wanting to know?" Her borderline sulking is forgotten in favor of the way Zero nearly overwhelms her with kisses a moment later, however. It effectively puts an end to any grousing, if the way she shudders and squirms in her attempts to get more of it is any indication.

She somehow had not considered this — that Zero would want to use the invention she'd made to use on her, but after a little thought on it, it made sense. More than that, it was... intriguing (arousing), though she's reluctant to leave the position she's in, buried so deeply inside of her.

"Uh... alright. Let me, um..." She shifts beneath Zero, breathing out unsteadily. "Just a moment."

It's with reluctance that she pulls out of Zero, rolling off of her with a grunt and beginning the work of removing the harness and the strap, which still glistens with evidence of Zero's arousal. The ever-present pollen she's breathing in fills her with the sudden urge to stroke herself off until she finished again, but she quells this impulse. Instead her eyelids briefly flutter as the strap detaches itself from her. She slumps back, bracing herself on her hands. Without being attached to a body, the toy returns to its mostly flaccid state — gold and blue lines fading. Aloy looks a little winded.

"Expect it to feel a bit strange as you get used to it," she finally says. Her eyes are still half-closed.

Naturally, Zero takes to the new toy with both impatience and gusto. So charmed by her clear excitement, Aloy rides out what annoyance she might have felt as the wrestle the harness on. It's nice to see Zero like this. A relief, in fact, after the rocky start of their vacation and the months of being on edge.

The mood shifts quickly as Zero quickly acclimates to the toy and urges her to open her mouth with tender insistence. Eager to obey, it takes barely coaxing at all before Aloy's lips part and her mouth opens to take what Zero offers to her without hesitation. She had expected it to be strange, perhaps unpleasant — but something about this makes Aloy's thighs clench, her mouth wet and warm with Zero's saliva and her breathing reduced to eager panting.

She wordlessly acquiesces to the next command, her hand wrapping around the base of the toy, her breath catching in her throat at the heavy, solid warmth of it against her palm. She strokes off Zero slowly, carefully: her gaze split between the strap and Zero’s face, gauging her reactions. Knowing the head was the most sensitive from both her own experiments and their play so far, she caresses it with her fingers, smearing the clear lubricant beading at the tip.

“It felt amazing,” she says finally, her voice husky and her expression enraptured, focused as she is on Zero’s pleasure. “Better than I could have even imagined. The way - the way you squeezed around me… it drove me crazy.” She swallows visibly, and with her hand still moving, asks almost urgently: “Did you enjoy it? Did it feel good?”

[It takes all of Aloy's willpower not to throw herself at Zero, honing in on the sweet sound of her voice and the firm and warm weight of the toy in her palm. She opens her mouth to take Zero's fingers without thinking, her tongue eagerly running over them, simply to relish the taste of her. When Zero pulls back, Aloy looks both dazed and wanting, and again she feels that itching under her skin and along her muscles — lighting up her nerves and obliterating any other thought that wasn't more and right now.

The overtness of Zero's request, how explicit it is — Aloy's breath catches. She swallows a sudden lump in her throat. She thinks of doing as Zero asked, dutifully taking the strap into her mouth until Zero was writhing beneath her, and feels molten heat pool deep in her center. The pace of her hand slows as she pretends to consider the request.]


For you? Anything.

[She says it confidently, like it's the easiest thing in the world. In a lot of ways it is. Tossing her hair over one shoulder, she lowers her head.]

I studied this, too. [The words are breathed out over the tip of the toy, and she smiles when she feels it twitch against her hand.] ... A little bit, anyway.

[She presses a kiss to the head, drags her tongue along it to catch the lubricant that beads to the surface.]

[Getting a reaction out of Zero in these particular instances, the ones where they were both being competitive, as always involved some degree of trial and error. Aloy relishes the challenge, and the heat in the knowing look she gives Zero when she's pulled forward is likely familiar.

She doesn't answer — not in words, anyway. Instead her hands move in a languid slide up Zero's thighs, lingering, taking her time to feel the shudder work its way through her body. Her heart is beating so fast she can feel it in her throat — the pulse in her neck a rapid hummingbird flutter. But the affection she ekes out is sensual and thorough. Her lips part in full to let Zero in, tongue sliding along the length of the toy.

She makes little noise, save the soft and unsteady breath as she acclimates herself, though her nails digging into Zero's hips betray her own impatience.]
