text, dated to brunchtime after the third wedding

[3point0]

Okay so here's the deal, I ran into one of the staff members emptying the trash from carriage 48 and a whole mess of dream boxes fell out. I mean like, a lot, both the last two days.

Don't know if that's what we smuggled them all in for, but they'd all been used. And the guy was spooked. Apparently the bigger ones cause attacks to the train or whole trains to be pulled into the dream or for the user to be able to pull parts of the dream into reality.

But here's the thing, he also said that a small-scale user could take the box and rewrite parts of reality with it. Pretty cool, right? How many boxes do you think there were? 'Cause we might be here awhile.

Oh, and he also said that you can always tell when something's a living dream, because they don't sleep. No matter how hard a thief tries to get them to. Sounds kinda awful.

Wait wait, before I go, Nynaeve wants me to ask if anyone's heard anything about the herbs or the tools going missing? 'Cause we don't know when those disappeared, right?

( adrienne hums around him, pleased, agreeing though not realising what he means. but she wouldn't mind getting into a frequent thing about this, especially if they're staying grouped after the train. a friend she could fuck was very nice.

even when she slips him from her mouth to take a breath she doesn't respond, saving that little thing for after she's done with him. her attention's becoming a little more focused now, sucking a little firmer, swirling her tongue over the tip of him when she pulls back for a breath.

where one hand holds him, still stroking the underside of his cock, the other comes up, stretching her fingers out to first rub between his balls )

Give me warning before you come.

( her tone is still softer and though he's not there yet she'd rather he came on her chest than in her mouth )

[3point0]

[ The thing is, Buck hasn't had a friends with benefits situationship in ages, and he's not exactly sure yet if that's what he wants. But he doesn't know what he wants anymore, not in a place like this. He doesn't even plan on being here long. ]

Sure.

[ He usually does; he's not sure why anyone wouldn't, that just seems rude. But that's all the thoughts he can spare for the situation at hand, because Adrienne is thoroughly distracting.

It's sweet, how she feels around him, and it pulls an electricity through him, makes him feel like all his nerves are on fire. His lids flutter shut and he gives way to the sensation.

But she's very talented, and extremely thorough, and he feels it coming soon enough. ]

Adrienne - wait, I'm gonna, I'm close--

[pathologise]

( the warning's clear enough and she could feel some of it, little twitches of his cock and she slides him back out, tipping him down gently. her hand works him that last little way, stroking until he comes, heavy on her chest.

her touch is lighter working him through his orgasm until he's done, her hand sliding from him and she presses up into her knees, kissing his stomach before looking up at him, resting her hands on his hips )

I wouldn't mind getting used to this either.

( though that's a conversation they're really going to need to have in full rather than in a heated moment. but she's fond of him, he's very hot and the sex is wonderful and distracting. why wouldn't she want more? )

[3point0]

[ He sighs as he finishes on her chest, and wants to pull her closer, leaves her against his stomach for a moment until he comes down to join her on the bed, pulling her in for a kiss.

They maybe want to work out details. But later. ]

Yeah?

[ He doesn't wait for an answer, eyes still trained on her mouth, going in for another kiss instead, as he gently nudges her shoulders to lie back on the bed. It's her turn, after all. ]

[pathologise]

Uh uh.

( there's a slight shake of her head when the kiss breaks, the sound murmured into him )

I want you on your back and a different view this time.

( his mouth was still going to work, and she leans in to kiss him again, nipping at his lip as she shifts to kneel on the bed )

[3point0]

Oh?

[ He smiles as he leans back, a hand on her hips, before he dips his fingers closer to the middle, sliding between her legs, trying to coax out their wetness. ]

Are you gonna come take a seat up here? 'Cause I'm into that.

[ He grins widely, licking his lips, eyes trained just a little south of her stomach. ]

[pathologise]

( he'll find her pretty slick already, letting his touch draw her closer, slower motions until she's up by his chest, pressing into his fingers, leaning down to kiss him, only a brief touch of lips this time )

That's my plan.

( she grasps his wrist, moving him away so that she can move a little easier, a light touch of her on his chest, guiding his fingers to his mouth so that he can taste her, kissing him again to share it. adrienne lets his hand fall away, this time as she stretches up she uses the wall as a balance, guiding her to him, dipping towards his mouth for that first touch )

[3point0]

[ He grins around his fingers, taking them into his mouth and licking her off of them, looking at her and crooking a finger so that she comes forward.

And when she does, and spreads over him, he takes his thumbs to gently part her, and leans up to lap at her, slowly at first, intensely and with very deliberate passes, baby blue eyes trying to lock eyes with her from between her legs.

He's only getting started; he wants her dripping down his chin, but they have time. He wishes to savor the moment. ]

[pathologise]

( the wall is a blessing right now, keeping her steady as she shudders at that first swipe, much slower than she'd expected, dragging a noise from her, her head dropping down to look at him.

he can keep doing that, encouragement in her smile, her hips dipping slightly to bring her closer to him (

Put your knees up.

( if he's doing this she figures she's going to need some help balancing, planning to lean back against his legs. she'll be closer to him but easier to hold up when it gets into it )

[3point0]

[ He could easily just hold her in his arms, or she can fully smother him, but he puts his knees up anyway so that she can lean back, because he doesn't want to communicate with words at the moment.

He picks up the pace, eventually, tongue sliding back and forth, mouth suctioned over her clit, eyes eventually screwed shut in concentration as his hands roam over her legs, up her stomach, as he encourages her to rock her hips back and forth. ]

[pathologise]

( she leans back against him, grasping his legs, parting her own a little more to bob against him, her head tipping back.

he feels incredible against her, the rock of her hips picking up as his tongue works, and her hips become longer against him, smothering him until he breaks before rocking into him again.

one hand slides from his leg, grasping a breast to stimulate a nipple, rolling it first under her touch before pinching firmer, sending little sparks of pleasure through her to add to what his mouth does )

[3point0]

[ He licks away at her, moaning into her, loving the way she tastes, chasing the way she grinds on his mouth. He's happy to stay trapped here for as long as she takes to find her pleasure.

And too, he dips a finger underneath, pressing bluntly into her, just testing to see if that's something she might enjoy at the moment, She's so wet, and the sounds she makes are delectable. ]

[pathologise]

( there's a shuddered breath as that finger presses into her, a harder rock against him as she seeks the sensation from both mouth and finger, pulling herself back up to claw a little control back. but he feels incredible and she's seeking that high, a firmer pinch at her nipple, louder sounds from her that tell how much she likes all of this )

I need one more.

( she tips her head to look down at him and her words were almost a whine, a little begged and even though she's drawing wonderfully closer that finger gave her something more. and she wants more, another finger to rub at her most sensitive spot, to pull her over that edge )

[3point0]

[ If she asks it from him, he won't be able to say no. Slipping another finger inside of her, he gently pushes them in and out the way he would if it were something else, but the nice thing about this is that he can crook his fingers forward, trying to hit multiple points of pleasure at once.

There's no need to beg him; he goes easy; he's eager to please.

He redoubles his efforts with his mouth, now that his fingers are obstructing the way, he concentrates on her clit, chasing whatever makes her moan, following her leads instinctually. ]

[pathologise]

( her volume increases as he presses in, two fingers hitting everything, mouth sucking firmer, getting her to moan with increasing frequency as it builds. words drop from her, unintelligible, little german things as she rocks quicker against him.

adrienne leans back against him, her habd squeezing at her leg and that last moment feels desperate in how she moves until she comes, riding him out on the high, longer, broken moan with it, his name quietly on her tongue )

[3point0]

[ He'll happily keep at it until she's good and finished, until her aftershocks have subsided. He loves the way she moans his name, loves to hear the sound coming from her.

And though she's finished, he's content to let her stay there and get her bearings, decide if she wants to get off the ride or not.

He presses a kiss to her wetness, and grins against it. ]

[pathologise]

( there's a very pleased sound from her when she calms, softer hum and adrienne doesn't move, leaning satisfied against his legs )

You're incredible.

( she doesn't expect the words to be understood but with how she sounds he'll at least get the compliment of them.

she tips her head down to look at him, smile on her )

You think you could do that again? ( lightly challenging tone even though she knows he could. but there's a brief pause before she adds ) With your cock?

( they don't have condoms but she's happy to have a safe sex conversation with him if needed. well.... as safe as you can be when there's no protection )

[3point0]

[ He raises an eyebrow as she asks. ]

You want me to eat you out with my cock?

[ But he's only joking, and softens his expression. ]

Only if you want to wait for a little bit.

[ But he likes the sex and he's definitely not saying no. Smiling at her, he leans in and kisses her, giving her a little taste of herself. ]

You're incredible too.

[pathologise]

I can wait.

( good sex was worth waiting for. she hums into the kiss, keeping it brief so that she can climb off him, laying next to him. adrienne presses up to lean into him, resting a hand on his cheek as she kisses him again, savoring the taste of herself on him this time )

[3point0]

[ It's nice to get the time to cuddle afterwards. Sometimes he feels like they're in such a rush. ]

You know, if we head in the same direction after we get off the train... we can keep doing this.

[pathologise]

( the problem is that adrienne usually is, used to just fucking and leaving her one nights and whilst he's becoming a more regular thing she still hasn't really lingered.

so waiting now, slowly building up again with touches and teases, and the conversation they'd had before, is nice even if less familiar to her )

You're very confident about convincing me to come with you.

( though it's also a good temptation. her kisses are lighter, slow and soft, a hand cupping his cheek as she takes the moment slowly, just enjoying getting to touch him )

That you can find home.

[3point0]

I'm confident about a lot of things, Adrienne.

[ He smiles at her. ]

And one of those is that I gotta go home. Back to my family. And another one is that I don't wanna leave you behind when we get to where the train docks.

It's not safe out there alone.

[pathologise]

It's not.

( she'd only seen a small glimpse compared to everything that she'd been told but adrienne didn't like any of it, she didn't like the idea that there were dead things out there or dragons or-- any of it, really.

besides, his state was only a plane ride away, it seemed like the better choice than trying to find her way home with anyone else. some people who definitely weren't from earth )

Okay.

( she kisses him softly, agreeing but also taking the opportunity to enjoy this moment with him, to just touch him and be gently intimate )

I'll go with you when this train stops. But you can't run into a dumb fight.

( a dragon or magic or any of it. otherwise she would be stuck alone )

[3point0]

Okay. I'll skip out on the first dumb fight.

[ He caresses her cheek. ]

But you know if we get attacked and it's the safety of the others or mine, I already made a choice.

I'm sorry.

[ He can't just let people die when he can get out there and do something, Adrienne. Especially not since there are kids here. ]

[pathologise]

( she frowns, not quite happy but she can't really argue with his choice. she's a doctor, he's a firefighter, they both understand that choice )

Okay, but if I have to patch you up I'm going to be pissed.

( though her tone is still soft, not quite fitting her words. she'd be annoyed for a few seconds before worrying instead, doing her job to stitch him back up. and hopefully it was within her capabilities.

there's a softer smile on her, leaning into his hand, resting her hand on top of it. she leans back against the bed, encouraging him to move with her, her other hand resting on the back of his head. kiss her, sir, no more talk about you being injured )
