_{[She's still better than humans at this.]}

[But can she fuse her consciousness with the divinity of the universe via extended yoga-slash-sex?]

_{[No.

She does it with her mind.

Kinda.]}

[Well, however she did it, it was probably awesome.

Because Nima hasn't woken up from her trance yet.

Yeahhhhh]

_{[It's actually been a long, long time since Ildy had a lover; she has to think back to when she was Ildraniath the Poet, to dig through memories that her own and not her own to remember that. She's older now, more experienced, but also changed.

She settles back on her elbows and stares at Nima.

For all of their barbarity, the humans were very much like Eldar in form.]}

[When Nima finally stretches and sighs, she doesn't appear unsettled at all to wake up to being stared at. She rolls to her side and returns Ildraniath's stare with a gentle smile.]

Hello again. [She reaches out to touch Ildraniath's hand.] How are you?

_{[Ildraniath tries not to let her surprise show and she almost slides her hand back - but that's a ridiculous display of emotion, considering what they were doing a little while ago.]}

I... am well.

_{[Seems suitably neutral. She smiles tightly.]}

It's been a long time since I've done something like that.

_{[First time with a human. Not too different from an Eldar, really, but that's not terribly surprising.]}

I couldn't tell. You were very good.

[Nima smiles bright and genuine in return.]

Maybe we could do that again. If you liked it too.

_{[That draws a laugh from Ildraniath, surprisingly.]}

Thank you; I'll have to consider the offer.

_{[She raises her hand with a slight flick of her wrist - polite consideration. Not a dismissal. Well, at least if you know how to read Eldar body language.]}

To be honest, I did not expect to enjoy a dalliance with a human.

[She probably is. Anyway, Zouichi doesn't sleep often, but that doesn't mean he never does. In fact, he looks like he's doing it right now; one side of his face is pressed up against a pillow and his bangs are falling over his eyes.]

_{[Ildraniath is still awake, propped up on her elbows and looking down at him.

It's odd, really. She hasn't taken a lover or an intimate in a very long time. Especially not a human - well, a construct in the form of a human. It seems appropriate somehow. She reaches out to brush a hand over his forehead, clearing the hair from his face. A subtle, small gesture.]}

[Zouichi opens his eyes when feels his hair brushed out of his face; he's a very light sleeper. He has to be, for what he does. But he's still a little surprised at the gesture.]

...Thanks.

_{[She raises her hand, wrist flicking in polite dismissal. She's still nude, although her lower half is covered by a tangle of sheets. She certainly doesn't feel ashamed by it, however.]}

It's nothing, truly.

_{[Well, maybe it was. Who knows?]}

[That makes two of them, then! Anyway, nothing or not, he appreciates it.]

You're very, um... that was nice.

[Oh god, why did he say that someone just kill him now. Preferably with a very high caliber weapon. Or maybe a laser sword. Because he was pretty hard to kill otherwise.]

_{[She laughs softly, amused.]}

...thank you. Although I believe you could stand to expand your vocabulary.

_{[She's teasing, of course. It wasn't the same as having an Eldar. Not really. The mechanics were the same, the emotions, but the minds were limited as to how they could touch. There was a difference, subtle, but there.

But it wasn't unpleasant.]}

I hadn't expected it to be... so similar. But perhaps my bias is showing.

_{[She dips her head in an apologetic bow.]}

[You're killing him here, Ildraniath. Although he does recognize she's teasing. His face might be juuuust the tiniest bit flushed anyway, though.]

Well, if that's the only critique I'm going to get, I guess I'll take it as a veiled compliment.

[Seriously? He was expecting much worse. Also: is she... apologizing for something?]

I'm... actually pretty surprised about how similar it was, actually. So, um... how is a connection between two Eldar different?

_{[It's only sort of an apology, alright?]}

Ah... It is difficult to explain.

_{[She eases herself back down and rolls onto her side, head propped up on one hand.]}

I think the best way to say it is that our minds are much more involved.

[He's not complaining! He'll take a sort-of apology!]

Ah. Well, I like to think I have a mind, but as of yet, no psychic powers.

[Pause.]

...would you mind telling me what it's like?

...difficult to describe.

_{[She eyes him for a moment.]}

Like describing color to the blind, I think.

_{[She reaches over and draws her fingers down the side of his face, feeling the emotions that come off of him.]}

Imagine that you can feel emotion. Imagine... that you can sense them and feel them and share in them. That is an inkling of an idea.

[It is a little difficult to picture, but he is trying. He does want to understand in some small way. So he tries to call up an emotion or two -- what it felt like to first wake up on the ship, for instance, amidst a crowd of frightened strangers, and offer them a hand -- then imagines that shared. Feeling the fear and confusion of the people around him, being able to project assurance and calm.]

...Does it bother you? If you're not among Eldar with whom you can share that connection any more, does it feel like you're... alone, somehow? Or missing something?

[Wow, he just realized that was a really personal question.]

Sorry. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I was just...

[Curious? Concerned? Probably both. In any case, the emotions emanating from him are a complex swirl right now, but those two are chief among them.]

_{[She frowns for a moment and then rolls onto her back and sits up, knees drawn up to her chest. It's a very rare moment of vulnerability for her and she isn't sure how to answer.

But if she didn't trust him, would their relationship have ever gotten as far as this?]}

...it's fine, I assure you.

_{[Her expression softens and her tone turns just the slightest bit wistful.]}

It is lonely here at times. There's no infinity circuit.

_{[She makes a soft 'hmm' sound and lapses into silence.]}

I'm sorry. I wish I could help.

[A very long pause this time.]

To tell you the truth, I have found myself wishing you didn't have to go back. Wouldn't have to go back, when this is over.

[Even if that meant no infinity circuit.]

It is a hardship; I will endure it.

_{[Her voice hardens slightly as she speaks. She'll deal with it. And then it softens again as she turns to glance at him, a slight expression of surprise registering before it's gone again.]}

I... am flattered.... Thank you.

_{[She feels a twinge in her gut. Would she regret not seeing him again when, if their worlds are restored and she returns to her craftworld?

She thinks she might. She stretches out a hand to cup his cheek, thumb slowly stroking over his skin as she looks at him.]}

I think I might share that sentiment as well.

_{[And what would her peers think? To here her speaking thus to a human? A construct?

But they are not here and their judgement would not sway her, in any case.]}

It's not my fault you've no taste.

_{[So outta here.]}
