"I think you need to explain why that is funny."
"I can't. It's just funny in my head." Gwenhwyfar replies sheepishly.
"So long as you find it funny then I am happy to have you laugh at me." Jimmy says laughing too
Gwenhwyfar takes Destinée and puts her down on the floor. "You want to talk?"
"I just want to be with you."
Gwenhwyfar turns around and lays her head in Jimmy's lap. "Why did you ignore me?"
"I didn't mean to." Jimmy says running his fingers through her hair
"Then make sure it doesn't happen again." Gwenhwyfar demands in a stern tone. "You can disagree with me all you want. But simply ignoring me is no option."
After pausing for a moment she adds "It hurts."
"I am sorry." Jimmy says looking down into her eyes
Gwenhwyfar looks back and smiles at Jimmy "It's really hard to stay angry at you."
"So long as I keep that as the worst thing you can say about me." Jimmy grins
"Is that a 'lucky me, I got off the hook easy' or do you want to know what worse things I can say about you?" Gwenhwyfar replies with mischievous smile. But on her this still looks pretty cute.
"It is a 'Lucky me', but because I get you all to myself."
"Lucky you." Gwenhwyfar chuckles. "But I'll tell you anyway. You're not going to charm your way out of that." she says with a semi stern look and waving her index finger at Jimmy. "You still haven't introduced me to your parents."
"Well if I could just teleport to them I would take you now"
"I can't. I have no idea where it is." she replies sadly.
"I know you can't, which is why I am saying if I could I would."
"Are you trying to talk me dizzy?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"What are we doing with the rest of the day."
"Well we can't leave can we? Would you like a back rub?"
"I'd love to." Gwenhwyfar replies and rolls over on her belly.
Jimmy sits behind her and starts to massage her shoulders and the back of her neck. As she starts to relax Jimmy starts to move down her back along the sides of her spine, giving her a firm backrub
Gwenhwyfar lies there relaxing. After a while she lets out soft moans of joy - muffled through the mattress.
As Gwen moans Jimmy starts to get a bit more adventurous.
First he starts to rub lower down her back and up along her sides.
He continues to focus on her lower back for a while before he decides to go for it and moves lower, onto Gwen's rump.
Gwenhwyfar lifts turns her head to the side to not talk into the mattress. But its so slow as if her head would weigh a ton. "Lower please. My legs need a massage too."
Jimmy does as told and starts to rub the back and sides of Gwen's calves, he pulls her shoes off and rubs her feet as well.
He is firm so it doesn't tickle too badly.
After a while he starts to massage her calves again, stopping below her knees.
But again, he gets adventurous and his hands start to wander up the back of her thighs.
Every time he rubs down his hands drift slightly further towards the inside of her thighs
The massage feels wonderful. Her legs heavy from all this walking up and down. And she tired and exhausted from the casting and the stress of combat. And all that falls off while Jimmy's warm hands stroke her tense muscles into relaxation. The soft moans give way to a calm breathing and shortly before Jimmy reaches where he aims for it changes to a light snoring. "Rhhzzzzzz......... rhhzzzzzz"
As Jimmy hears the snoring he too collapses into the bed, him more with an exasperated sigh than with expressions of Joy.
After a while he sits up, removes his armor clumsily without Gwen's help. He then climbs back onto bed and cuddles Gwen
Gwenhwyfar wakes, cuddled up to Jimmy. She nudges him. "Wake up. It's a new day." she says with a wide smile on her face.
"It is? Already?" Jimmy says snuggling closer, trying to stop her getting out of bed
Gwenhwyfar pretends weakly to fight Jimmy to get out of bed. "Oh no! I'm caught in the clutches of the insatiable cuddle monster." she says holding the back of her hand to her forehead pretending to fall unconscious.
"The monster is victorious and it climbs its prize." Jimmy grins at her as he claims on top of her and gives her a kiss
Without moving Gwenhwyfar asks "Shall I now wake up like Sleeping Beauty or would you prefer me to stay unconscious?"
"We should probably get up." Jimmy says with a groan.
"There is still someone lost down there."
"Destinée come here." Gwenhwyfar states while fighting gravity to get herself sitting upright in the bed. As the cat arrives and sits in front of her she zones out staring in her eyes.
Jimmy sits behind her on the bed watching her and meditating
"If the view were better and the time three hours later it could be as comfortable as in the Shadow Clock." Tauriell tells as she is woken by the serving of breakfast.
Hector shrugs, gets up and starts eating.
An hour later Jimmy stands up and takes Gwen's hand to go find the others.
Once they meet up he leads the way to the room with the giant plant, and asks Tauriell "Do you want to see what that thing is before we fight it?"
"You have a picture of it?" Tauriell asks.
"I promise I will close the door quickly."
"I have no problem taking a look from a safe distance while you stand bravely in the door fighting it back. If it is fighting at all. Maybe we find a tree tat is just that - a tree." Tauriell replies.
"I'll do a test if it burns in the meantime." Abomentolor smiles at the prospect of more firewood botanics.
"Who is it, that we're missing here?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"A dark naga whose name I have forgotten." Tauriell states. "So what do you say Jimmy. Bring it back alive, or rather dead?"
"For people alive is always better. For the plant I don't care."
"I vote alive. I'm not fond of having to carry them back." Abomentolor comments.
"You have no idea what a dark naga is, do you?" Tauriell asks with a raised eyebrow. "But on to the greenhouse."
She leads the way down to the barricade. "How about you cheer us on when we come through?" she asks the librarians only to see a lack of sympathy for her idea in their faces.
Down in the corridor she takes on a safe position behind Jimmy and Abomentolor for when they open the door.
"Ready?" Jimmy asks. Once it seems everyone is ready he opens to door quickly and readies to close it if an attack comes.
"Well, it's a plant." Tauriell tells sounding annoyed that she can't tell more.
