Desperately Seeking Seeker Kink Ficathon under the prompt "Kahlan/Shar - ...what? Stop looking at me like that! Night wisps need to get their freak on too!" (And they do! They so do.)
Under the soft light of a full moon and to a soundtrack of owls and various other nocturnal creatures, Kahlan blew into her cupped hands and rubbed them together. Damn it was cold. Turns out the Amnell sisters packed rather poorly for their flight to Westland. Kahlan looked longingly at her cloak, now wrapped snugly around Dennee's sleeping form.
Fine, she'd just have to be a bit more creative. Kahlan looked about their little camp site but saw nothing that could help her cause. Blast it! Why couldn't she have packed at least her Snuggy? She literally only brought the clothes on her back, her Confessor's dress, which was fairly breezy you know, especially around the chest area. And now her girls were cold! She tried wrapping herself in a cocoon of her own sleeves but ended up getting stuck and unable to maneuver, much less reach her daggers. And she needed those in case a frisky raccoon came. Or a Quad.
All she could do was wear her hood and boy did she wish it had some strings or something she could pull on. Damn thing kept sliding right off her gorgeous hair that always managed to smell nice no matter what situation she found herself in. Oh why was she cursed with such a silky mane? Maybe if she had stringy fugly locks the hood would at least STAY UP. She tore it down and sighed in defeat. Suppressing another shiver she plopped down as close as possible to the dying fire and closed her eyes.
No sooner had she begun drifting off towards a dream of a super muscley future!Seeker with a glistening hot bod that her eyes popped open. She remained as she was, on her side, her head resting on her pack, but her eyes darted about, mind racing. Something was happening but she wasn't quite sure, so she waited. There! There it was again! Kahlan sat straight up and fumbled for something beneath her skirt. She yanked and when her hand reemerged it was clutching a chain with a glowing orb hanging off it.
Kahlan brought the orb close to her face, her eyes wide. "Shar! What the hell was that?"
The orb remained inert, frozen. Like a deer caught in the headlights. Or a wanker caught wanking. Kahlan took a deep breath and quickly glanced at Dennee -- still sleeping -- then back to the glowy orb hanging from her palm.
She lowered her voice, "Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. You were touching me." The orb remained inert some more and then pulsed a bit. Kahlan's eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean, 'What?' We had an agreement, remember? You insisted I carry you in my panties because of your Acute Equestrian Ashtma, but you promised me you wouldn't try anything funny! Spirits know why I believed you! Or how really, as you were clearly lying and I am a Confessor."
Shar blinked a lot at that. "No, Shar, that wasn't what I would call an 'innocent pat.' That was my clitoris! And I know you didn't trip and fall in there so don't even try playing that card. I mean the other Night Wisps warned me but I didn't believe them. You have a reputation. Did you know that? Yeah, they called you a h0r."
Shar blinked so much that Kahlan thought she might have a seizure. The Night Wisp was speaking so fast and so shrilly that Kahlan could only pick up every other sentence, if even. Something about "the loneliness of living in a glass jar on a chain" and "Night Wisps are very sexually experimental by nature" and "always wanting to bed a Confessor" and "why don't you go fuck a Gar if you don't like it!"
Kahlan moved her hand away as far as possible. It was late and she was cold and she didn't feel like being silently yelled at by a horny little Night Wisp.
"Are you quite finished?" Shar remained inert. "Oh so you're not speaking to me now, is that it?" The chain hung limply. Kahlan shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "Ok what do you want, an apology? Even though I'm the one that was violated? All right fine. Look, I'm sorry. It's just, well tomorrow's a big day for us. We're going to reach the Boundary and there will probably be a Quad after us and there's a huge chance that Dennee will be shot in the back by an arrow and I'll leave her behind to die or possibly get captured but I won't know that until later and I won't even have a good explanation as to how she would survive such an ordeal cuz she'll get shot and then fall down a giant sand dune and land face down into a stream of water and I'll have to run to Westland on my own. But you're the only one who can get me through the Boundary, so you can't be mad, OK?"
The Night Wisp blinked a couple times. Kahlan nodded. "Yes, I realize it's a big deal for you and that it...makes you really hot in 'that way.' It's a huge deal for me, too. Obviously not in 'that way,' but still. Lots at stake. New Seeker yay!" Kahlan did a little fist pump and saw that it cheered Shar up a bit. She put the orb in her palm and smiled down at Shar. "So we're good?"
Shar remained still for a bit. "Shar?" Still nothing, only tiny little rhythmic pulses coming from within the orb.
"Sha-ar?" Kahlan squinted and brought her closer, peering inside the orb. She couldn't believe she was actually going to say it, but something had to be done to broker peace. "All right. You can...do stuff to me if you want. But right now and only for a bit. And you better keep your mouth shut tomorrow because I don't want Dennee to know about any of this!"
Suddenly Shar pulsed so strongly she practically shuddered in Kahlan's hand. Then the pulsing subsided and sort of blended into one steady output of glowy happy light. Kahlan's mouth dropped at the realization of what just occurred mere inches from her face. "Damn it, Shar! Were you jerking off this whole time?!" Shar blinked back at her in a manner which Kahlan interpreted to be a sated grin.
Kahlan was so annoyed that she wanted to squeeze the Night Wisp with all her might, but she realized Shar might enjoy that so she just shoved her back beneath her skirt.
She thought about it for a moment, took her out again, bringing her so close to her face that Kahlan looked cross-eyed. "DON'T touch anything down there," she warned. She didn't wait for the Night Wisp's retort and put her away in her rightful place, inside Kahlan's pants. Obviously she wasn't going to stick her back in her panties, she wouldn't fall for that one twice, but still, it was cold out and she could use all the heat she could get.
The fire sparked its last breath, the animals made their animal noises, and amidst the darkness, Kahlan spooned with Shar.
