Honey, I'm home!

[1stmacleod]

Connor's well settled into Kai's world by now, and looking forward to moving out someplace less civilized where he can stretch his legs, but thanks to the PINpoint he still makes regular visits back home. Having reunited with Duncan, he's not about to let him go again, and he still has a lot of investments there. Furnishing a new home will be no

Kairos has been busy making cupcakes. It's not something she's done a lot of lately, and with Connor out the house she figures she can surprise him.

Besides, it's almost Easter, and she figures they should do something.
When he PINpoints in, he should be able to see her, back turned, dancing around to Prince's When Doves Cry and frosting the tiny little cakes pastel colors.

Connor stands there, bloody and breathless, listening to the Prince compare himself to his parents. He was too reclusive in the 80's to have seen 'Purple Rain' so it's not really familiar. Then he walks into the kitchen still carrying his katana, and the sparking PINpoint. He's going to need a new one of those. Quickenings aren't good for electronic devices.

[kairos_aether]

She whirls around, smile plastered on her face, ready to welcome him home. "Hi, hon-" she chirps, but the rest is forgotten. She also kinda forgot she's got a cupcake in hand. "Connor? What happened?" Who does she have to kill? Someone hurt her man!

[1stmacleod]

He's already done the killing, so that's one thing out of the way! The PINpoint sparks in his hand again and he glances down in mild surprised. He doesn't truly seem hurt, or even upset, just distracted. "It shouldn't do that..." He murmurs absently, and sets it aside on the counter. Only then does he realize he's still carrying an unsheathed katana, which is no way to greet your girlfriend. He sets that down carefully, too.

"...Hi." His voice goes abruptly hoarser with embarrassment. A fight had to happen sooner or later, but he probably should have collected himself better before coming home from it.

[kairos_aether]

The blood had distracted Kairos. She hadn't even looked at the katana until he sets it down. "Hi?" Automatically she pulls out a first aid kit - really, Kai, he won't need that - and gets a wash cloth from a drawer. "I.. this isn't yours, right?" She just stands there, kit in one hand, cloth in the other.

[1stmacleod]

"What?" He glances down, careless. The fight cut him up a little, nothing serious, and therefore it's all healed by now. "Oh, some of it. I'm fine."

He hesitates, awkward and sheepish, but what he really wants is just to jump her here and now. The Quickening tends to have that side effect, almost like the body's desperate lust for life after a near-death experience.

[kairos_aether]

"If you're sure." He should get a shower. Now that she's seen that he's okay, she's a little less intent on getting him cleaned up - and a shower might help! With his muscles..

But she stops, canting her head. "What?" She's not familiar with Quickening aftereffects, so .. yeah, she's in for a surprise!

[1stmacleod]

"None of us knows how much time we've got... how long we'll have with the people we love..." He's moving towards her now, in an almost predatory fashion, but his expression is one of lust rather than menace. He could go for a shower. With her.

[kairos_aether]

She flushes from the look on his face, from the way he's moving. It.. sort of opens something up in her. No one's ever really acted that way with her, not even the one guy she'd known in the past. "No, we don't. You have to .. make the time count." Her voice drops. "How do you want to make it count now?"

[1stmacleod]

A little shiver runs through him, and he closes the gap between them to take the first aid kit out of her hands and set that on the counter, too. With that, PINpoint, and katana all put down they'll both have their hands free. Hopefully she doesn't still have cupcakes in the oven, because they just may get forgotten, now.

A man of few words, Connor doesn't say anything in answer to her question. He just scoops her up into his arms instead and starts to kiss her passionately.

[kairos_aether]

Cupcakes? What cupcakes? Kai's too busy kissing Connor back to remember her own last name, let alone dessert. Her arms wind around his neck and she just sort of pours herself against him as she nearly tries to devour him.

[1stmacleod]

He sweeps her off to the bedroom without asking, and sets her to sit on the bed, letting go of her with only one arm at a time so he can shrug off his coat. It drops on the floor in a heap, which is a terrible way to treat it since it was a Christmas gift from Jelani. He'd better wash the blood spots off later. Once the coat is gone, he starts to tug at Kai's clothes, half trying to get them off her as expediently as possible, half trying to kiss each newly exposed inch of flesh.

[kairos_aether]

She giggles a little bit - it's not funny, but the feel of his lips just above her skin tickles. And then it doesn't, and she whimpers for him. She likes this sense of urgency. It makes her feel so ... well, sexy. "Do you want me?" she asks, wanting to hear the affirmative.

[1stmacleod]

"Oh god, yes..." His voice comes raspier than usual, hoarse with urgency. He starts pulling off her clothes more carelessly, then yanks off his own shirt and tosses it aside. When he pulls her close against his chest there's the faintest crackle of electricity, not seen or heard but felt, as if it were running just under the surface of his skin.

[kairos_aether]

She smiles up at him. "Good. I want you, too." Her fingers slide over his chest, almost reverently. She simply can't get enough of touching him. And that electricity, it's just fascinating. "From the Quickening?" she asks, looking up at him. She doesn't recall it from any other time they'd been intimate.

[1stmacleod]

He shivers, but her words briefly cut through his lust and he pauses, a flash of guilt creeping into his expression. "I didn't go looking for it..." He's not quite sure how she'll handle that, the reality of knowing he's just beheaded somebody and now he's come to make love to her with blood on his hands.
