Fergus/Juli
Fergus: *is turned into a kitten by evil muns and tossed into bathroom. blinks*
Juli: *is in bubble bath*
Fergus: *is a cat, blinking*
Juli: *is blissing and soaking, all covered in bubbles and feet propped up, hair falling over the edge*
Fergus: *tilts head, watching, meows*
Juli: *sits up a bit* Well, hello there... *stretches out her fingertips towards the kitten*
Fergus: *licks her fingers*
Juli: *gently scritches* Now how did you get in here, and where do you belong... *sits up a bit in the tub till the bubbles are dangerously low over her chest, folding one arm over the edge of the tub*
Fergus: *blinks up at her, eyes very blue even for a kitten, trying to figure out how to tell her what her evil Lady has done, but distracted by the bubbles and batting at them*
Juli: *soft laughter, watching him, not bothering to take a closer look yet, and batting off some bubbles for him to play with as they float down*
Fergus: *jumps for bubbles, batting at them, sneezing when they land on his nose*
Juli: *soft laughter again, reaching out to pet him*
Fergus: *purrs, licking at her fingers*
Juli: *soft smile, gently scritching him*
Fergus: *purrs loudly, jumping up on the edge of the tub*
Juli: *sits back, smiling, to give him room to walk*
Fergus: *struts up and down along the edge, eyeing a little bit through the bubbles, batting at them*
Juli: *watches him, delighted and happy and relaxed, for once, batting them gently back*
Fergus: *sneezes again, leaning into the bubbles a bit*
Juli: *laughs softly, picking him up gently* All right, now. We wouldn't want you to fall in... *has a look, while she has him*
Fergus: *wriggles a bit in her arms, kitten!squirming*
Juli: *and almost drops him, blinking* Fergus?!
Fergus: *digs claws in, suddenly terrified of the water, plaintive meow*
Juli: *sitting up, wincing a bit, sloshing water and bubbles everywhere* ... you're a kitten!
Fergus: *gives her a 'glad you noticed look; that gets distracted by what the bubbles slosh to reveal*
Juli: *isn't quite thinking about that, 'cause, kitten* How on earth did you become a kitten?
Fergus: *looks over shoulder, hisses at door*
Juli: *looks over at the door, shakes her head* No, this is... Can you turn yourself back?
Fergus: *plaintive meow, brushing at the bubbles on his nose*
Juli: *sighs* I suppose not. All right, then. *sets him down on the floor, gets out of the tub and sets it to draining, grabs for a robe and puts it on*
Fergus: *definitely was watching that*
Juli: *seems to either be not at all body shy or just thinking of him as a kitten right now, but does put on the robe, if only for warmth* Let's get you back again.
Fergus: *bats at the robe tie*
Juli: *looks down at him, amused* .. hmm. *opens the door rather than picking him up, letting him follow*
Fergus: *follows, trotting to keep up, winding around her feet*
Juli: *walks slow so he can follow, leading him outside to her little circle*
Fergus: *bats at her ankles lightly, claws in so it's just a brush of fur on skin*
Juli: *smiles softly at him* You seem like you're enjoying being a kitten at least. *gets inside the circle, closes it with a bit of movement of stone and a ritual gesture*
Fergus: *settles in the center, looking at her*
Juli: *looks up at the moon, smiles a little, begins an incantation and slowly changes him back, her skin glowing a bit in the moonlight with the power, the garden seeming to shimmer, the rocks that make up her circle*
Fergus: *watches, entranced, and shifts back to his original form, though sans clothes*
Juli: *is a bit entranced, herself, but tries to hide it behind a polite smile* There. That's better.
Fergus: *slight shake of his head, leaning back to smile up at her* Thank you.
Juli: You're welcome. *amused smile back* Now, dare I ask whose bit of mischief that was?
Fergus: *makes a face* Your Lady's.
Juli: Ohhh. *eyerolls*
Fergus: Mmm. I think she was trying to cause mischief.
Juli: Of course she was. She loves that sort of thing.
Fergus: *slow smile* My apologies for any inconvenience
Juli: *smiles* No inconvenience. *impish* And you were perfectly adorable playing with the bubbles.
Fergus: *flushes, just a touch* Yes, well. Apparently impulses come with the fur.
Juli: *soft smile, touches his cheek, amused by the blush* I suppose they do.
Fergus: *rueful smile, and finally aware he's naked when she touches*
Juli: *lets her hand fall but it's a natural, relaxed motion, and she reaches behind her and opens up the circle in case he wants to leave*
Fergus: *rising with fluid grace, mostly because it's her ritual space and doesn't seem right for casual, naked, conversation. but still doesn't seem to mind that he's totally naked as he moves outside of the circle*
Juli: *doesn't seem to mind watching, although she manages to do it with a prurient sort of dignity, standing and following, still robed*
Fergus: *looks back at her, smiling a little* She seems to have run off with my clothes.
Juli: *smiles* Well, that's what happens when you're shape-shifted without the proper precautions. At any rate, I should have something that will fit you, if you like. Not all the strays we take in are of the four-legged variety.
Fergus: *small shrug, watching her for a long moment* I suppose that would be more proper....
Juli: It's up to you, of course. *perfectly calm, at ease, as though they were two people having a conversation over tea and fully dressed*
Fergus: I am perfectly comfortable either way....
Juli: Milk and cookies, then?
Fergus: *soft smile* Sounds lovely.
Juli: *smiles* Excellent. *leads him into the kitchen to serve up milk and cookies*
Fergus: *follows behind her*
Juli: *sets milk and cookies on the table, then sets her robe on the back of her chair as though it were a coat, sitting at the table as though it were any other afternoon*
Fergus: *blinks, surprised, then smiles, again slowly, eyes flicking over her*
Juli: *blushes just a bit but smiles at him, content, amused, and flattered, if also a little flustered jsut by the attraction, pouring the milk and taking a cookie*
Fergus: *nibbles at his cookie, eyes still on her, then reaches for his glass of milk*
Juli: *watches him, since he's watching her, and also because he's well worth watching*
Fergus: You're lovely.
Juli: Thank you. *softly*
Fergus: *smiles, lounging back in his chair* I do apologize for the inconvenience.
Juli: *amused* It's no trouble. It's quite a little adventure.
Fergus: One has to wonder at the reason for it.
Juli: *dry* I suspect if we ask we'll rather wish we hadn't. Her logic is not Earth logic, on Earth or under the hill.
Fergus: *laughs softly* I've some experience with that.
Juli: *smiles* They truly are a breed apart.
Fergus: Indeed they are.
Juli: *almost a grin* But you still made an adorable kitten.
Fergus: *blushes* Thank you.
Juli: *smiles, maybe a little pleased to have made him blush*
Fergus: *curious, snags her hand, bringing it to his lips for a lingering kiss* Thank you for turning me back.
Juli: *softer blush, but doesn't pull away* You're welcome, of course.
Fergus: *another lingering kiss on her knuckles again*
Juli: *still the soft blush, and a soft but sharp inward breath*
Fergus: *slowly, releases her hand, watching her, half curious*
Juli: *just resumes her previous, almost-ladylike-except-for-the-nudity-thing position, seeming unperturbed*
Fergus: *leans back again*
Juli: How are things at home? *conversation, milk and cookies!*
Fergus: Getting better it seems.
Juli: Good. *small sigh of relief* That's very good to hear.
Fergus: *smiles* It's a relief
Juli: I can imagine. *smiles* Perhaps now you'll get some time to relax, too.
Fergus: Danu willing. I know I'd like to.
Juli: *reaches out to cover his hand lightly with hers* You should. *quietly*
Fergus: *wraps his fingers around hers*
Juli: *soft, shy smile*
Fergus: *still almost curious, moves to kneel in front of her, fingers tracing the inside of her wrist*
Juli: *watches him, quiet and maybe holding her breath a little, but still at ease with what they're doing*
Fergus stayed where he was, on his knees in front of her before lifting her wrist to his lips for a soft kiss.
Juli: *is in bubble bath*
