Elunara was considering a page when Zelinnia ran in and slammed the door behind her.
"El! El!" Cried Darguni, who reached up.
Elunara eyed the panting woman who had turned several fascinating shades of red. "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Zelinnia bit her lip. "I was helping Ina warm the tubs... and I went in to change towels, and Renwa was sliding in the tub." She covered her face with her hand. "And... and he caught me staring. So... I ran."
Elunara sighed and tossed down her paper. "And you didn't slide in with him? Zelinnia, I'm ashamed FOR you."
"This is NOT funny!" Zelinnia fumed.
Elunara shook her head. "Of course it's not. You two have been pacing around each other like dogs in heat. Either do and be done, or actually date the man. That's all the advice you'll get out of me."
Zelinnia picked up the persistent toddler and sighed. "I saw his dick, and I kept staring at it... and wondering." Shaking her head, she bounced the child on her hip. "I kept wondering if it would be as good as..." She stared at the wall pictures.
"As?" Prompted Elunara.
Zelinnia mumbled.
"Didn't catch you." Elunara sighed.
"Your fingers, ok? The only experience I've had has been... that day."
Elunara rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, Renwa is the big experienced male, and Zelinnia is the poor inexperienced female. Am I on the right track?" She raised an eyebrow.
Zelinnia sat on her bed and put Darguni in her lap. "Now you're just making fun of me."
"Actually, I'm not. It's pretty common. But, let me allay your fears. Renwa is a sweet and considerate lover. He's good enough to be interesting, but not enough to be daunting." She shrugged. "We shared a bed for nearly a year, before I walked away in search of something new. Even while we were together, I never stopped my missions. In fact, I used missions as fuel to blow poor little Renwa's mind." She laughed.
"Great." Zelinnia muttered.
"Oh, don't be like that." Elunara shook her head. "He couldn't keep up with me. Hell, the only person who truly can is Grogek. We were suited for sex, but he wanted love making, and I wanted a hard bang. It just didn't work. He gave me everything he had, and it just wasn't my style. It worked, because he knew what I was, but it ended because he didn't know WHO I was." Elunara walked over and put a hand on Zelinnia's shoulder. "Take it from me, Sweetie. You're a perfect match."
"Well, if you say so. I guess you'd know by this point."
Elunara sat down and hugged Zelinnia. "And he doesn't know what we did, so to him, you're still the inexperienced virgin. In fact, you rather are. He'll be gentle as a lamb." She plucked Darguni from Zelinnia's lap and put him with his toys.
"What if I don't want him to be?" She flushed.
Shaking her head, Elunara laughed. "Sweetheart, start slow, build up. You have to have a first date before you can start ripping off his clothes, or he'll think I had something to do with it." She wagged her finger. "Not a good way to start off, I assure you."
"Fine."
Elunara grabbed her arms and pulled her to standing. "Now, get your tiny little but out there, and apologize for fleeing, before Renwa thinks his dick offended you." She pushed the smaller woman towards the door.
"Fine, fine, I'm going. Ina's going to kill me anyway."
"Dropped her fresh towels?"
"And entered a tub room without knocking."
"What color flowers would you like on your grave?"
"Hah. Hah." She yanked open the door and stared at Renwa. "Uhh..." She slammed the door.
Elunara smacked her forehead. "Zelinnia!"
"I don't know what to DO when I'm around that man!" Zelinnia cried.
"Well, I have several suggestions." Elunara snorted.
"I can hear you." Renwa called through the door.
Zelinnia closed her eyes. "I've always been partial to purple flowers, myself." She groaned.
"Duly noted." Said Renwa. "May I come in and stop talking trough the door?"
Elunara elbowed Zelinnia out of the way. "You know you are always welcome in my home. Even when Zelinnia is being a doofus."
Renwa nodded as he stepped in. "I'm sorry for the intrusion, but it seemed important I... come over."
Elunara snirked. "Zelinnia has already told me what happened." She bent down and scooped up Darguni. "I think it's time for someone's nap." Then she disappeared into the back room.
Renwa blushed. "Listen, I'm sorry I-"
"No, no. Don't apologize." Zelinnia bit her lip. "It was my fault for not knocking like I'm supposed to."
He stepped forward. "I didn't want to offend you."
Her face grew hot. "N-no. Not at all. I just... I didn't mean to stare!" She choked out. "I-I'd never seen... and I ... I was curious... and I... OH, god I wish I was Elunara."
He blinked at her. "In... uh, what way?"
Behind the closed door, Elunara was silently pounding her head on the door.
Zelinnia was red as a beat as she stared at Renwa. "Well," She said slowly. "For one thing, I would know what to say, and stop blurting things out like an idiot."
"That's a reasonable desire." He nodded. He winced. "I didn't mean it that way. You're not an idiot."
"She always knows what she's doing and how to get what she wants." Zelinnia muttered.
"And what do you want?" He asked quietly.
"I..." the color rose in her face again. "I... I don't know..."
Elunara popped open the door. "Oh, dear Elune, just bone each other and be done with it. You're both killing me."
Zelinnia glared. "Right now, I want to smack her." She snorted.
Renwa sighed and rubbed his neck. "You and me both."
They grinned at each other.
"There, now you have something in common. If you're going to borrow the building, I'll put the sign out and you can come get me when Darguni wakes."
They both went red as they continued to stare at each other.
"Gods, I love that color on you two, you're adorable. Go have lunch or something. Get out of my house." She shoved them both out the door and closed it behind them.
"I'm starting to wonder if she does "always" know what she's doing." Zelinnia blinked.
