[There’s no visual, but as you open this feed the first thing that can be heard is a low moan of a woman, obviously sounding relaxed, but also very pleasured.]

…Please, do that again.

So that was good? Do you want it a bit harder?

Yes, just a little bit harder, Rita…Maybe a little faster as well…

All right. Tell me if it's too much, okay? Now...how's...this? [There's a little grunt now.]

[Nothing is said, instead a squeak as she hits the right spot.] Yes, that’s wonderful. [Her voice is laced in pleasure, another low moan follows. ] Just a little more…!

[Rita sounds a bit breathless for her part.] Okay. Right here. Does that feel good?

Ah, yes! [A cry rings out, lingering on before Estelle sounds rather breathless as well…] That felt amazing. Should we switch now? [A creak of a bed can be heard.]

Yeah- [Rita sounds pretty eager! There's some more creaking, the rustling of sheets...] I mean, you were really into it...And you've done this way more than I have.

Well, I got a lot of practice back at the hot springs, so I think I’m rather good at it now. [She sure sounds proud of herself, and now the creaking ceases.]

I bet you'll be amazing, Estelle. [She makes a comfortable sigh.] Here, I'm ready for you.

[...and then audio shuts off]

[ooc: Just two friends giving each other back massages. :|b Red is Rita and pink is Estelle.]

[blackshadow]

[ And now he has it turned to audio on his end himself. Given how relaxed Estelle is about it, he's even more unsure. Mumbling- ]

I just didn't know you two were like that...

[ But Estelle is her first and best friend, so... Wait, he doesn't do that with Ted-- He's glad this is video because he's practically covering his face with his hand. ]

[firstaid]

Like what?

[Like that... like that. Hmmm, she ponders over this as she notices the feed goes back to audio. Maybe that was a good thing since she was pretty much only in chemise. Not that it showed much, but still...]

I can't say what we did because it's a secret!

[Yep...]

[blackshadow]

It's not that hard to guess what you were doing...

[ Is that bitterness? He feels a little bad taking that tone with her, but he can't curb it now. As far as he's concerned, it should be obvious what he means, so he doesn't bother clarifying. ]

[firstaid]

Did... you not like what we did?

[Oh no, does he have something against massages? And Rita had thought so hard to practice to make sure she could give Tyr a wonderful massage. So... was all that hard work put to waste? No, they can't give up!]

But Rita was practicing for you!

[blackshadow]

It's not that I didn't like it- [ Wait, don't say that, even if she seems hurt that he might not. Her next statement throws him off even more. What... ]

She doesn't need to practice for me. [ Less...harshly... ] That's not how it's done back home, and... I wasn't really... [ He has no idea what to say. It was for him, but it still hurts. ] The point is that I don't care if she's experienced or not.

[firstaid]

It isn't? Then how is it done?

[Are there customs that are different in his world than hers? Oh no, maybe massages mean something really special where he's from! So, after a brief pause, she speaks once more, in a guilty tone.]

--I didn't mean to. I mean, where Rita and I come from it's perfectly normal, though if you... if... something like that is only shared between those who have a special relationship, then I can stop. I'm sure Rita will stop with me as well and do that only with you.

[blackshadow]

[ At least Estelle understands how he feels - and confirms his suspicions along with that. He nods slowly, biting his lip. Since she can't see him, though, he responds aloud. ]

I'd rather if it was only between us... I guess it was fine before, but...I can't stand it now. Even if you two are best friends...

[firstaid]

I'm... I'm so sorry, Tyr...

[She really is, and her voice expresses it. It was a ritual she never meant to ruin, but she unintentionally had. But she still tries to smiles for him, even if he can't see it.]

I'm sure Rita would still appreciate it if you did it with her, though.

[blackshadow]

Y-yeah, I got that impression when I was talking to her, too... [ It's so weird to just talk about this. He still won't assure her that it's okay, though. ] I guess we can do it together eventually...

[firstaid]

O-of course. I won't give Rita another massage until she gives you one, then. In fact, I won't... give her one again if it's really that hurtful to you.

[And she thought massages were all innocent and such, especially since she gave quite a few of them while she was helping out at the hot springs!]

[blackshadow]

Massages aren't the issue here.

[ Why is she even bringing...

that...

up...

Two thoughts occur to Tyr as this sinks in: 1) Rita must give the most amazing massages possible, and 2) He hopes neither of them ever figure out what he thought they meant. ]

... If it's only massages, then it's fine. Just don't broadcast them.

[ Smooth? ]

[firstaid]

They... aren't?

[She's so confused now. So, so confused! But... Tyr was so upset by this and now he's saying that's not the issue?

Um...

But she's glad he no longer seems upset by all of this.]

Well, we never intended to broadcast it; it was an accident.

[She'll just play along and hope that everything's okay?]

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr doesn't know how to backtrack fast enough. He responds quickly and as certainly as possible, though he's definitely being hasty. ]

Then you should just put them in another room next time. You know, so no-one else has to hear it...

[firstaid]

But what if someone tries to contact us while we're giving each other massages?

[She kind of gets something's off here, but she doesn't know what it is. What she heard hardly sounded bad at all, just herself having a good massage by Rita.]

[blackshadow]

Just don't respond; it's unnecessary to.

[ Even he knows he's unconvincing, but as long as he's not called on it... ]

[firstaid]

But... why?

[She won't call him out on it because she has no clue what he's talking about.

...then...]

What did you think we were doing?

[The little wheels in her head are turning, luckily as of right now, she does not have the proper logics to get to the correct conclusion (or the dirty mind).]

[blackshadow]

Because... [ She doesn't have to...

He doesn't even want to tell her. He knows how she is when it comes to anything sexual, even in a story.

But she does deserve a real answer... ]

I thought you two were doing something...really intimate.

[firstaid]

'Really intimate'?

[Well, really intimate would mean…

…

…

…

…]

Oh… is that what being intimate sounds like?

[There is some… disbelief in her voice now.]

[blackshadow]

...Yeah.

[ He's the most awkward now. So, so awkward. He knows Estelle is naive, but...She should know this much, right? He shifts around awkwardly for a minute, unsure what to do. ]

—But I know you weren't now, so don't worry about it.

[firstaid]

Y-yes, we weren't doing anything like that...

[Yes, this is really awkward now. It's not hard for her to put all the facts together now that she has them, and well... Um... Yeah...]

[blackshadow]

I know... [ So, so awkward... ] I shouldn't have even suspected that with you, but...you two are from another world, and... Things could have been different there.

[firstaid]

Well, if... two people are together, they... um... usually do that while in a committed relationship if not... marriage...

[She would prefer the latter with anyone... and in her special world thinks almost everyone does wait until marriage...]

[blackshadow]

That's usually how it works in my world, too... [ Except it doesn't have to be marriage. Not that he really wants to get into the intricacies of sex politics now or ever. ] I just thought that...since you two were best friends, it wouldn't be that bad...

[firstaid]

[To be like that while just being friends? For some reason that concept doesn't make sense to her. You're supposed to be absolutely in love, right? Again, this is special naive Estelle world here...]

I can assure you that we would not do anything like that...

[blackshadow]

[ What's wrong with best friends being in love...? But then, Tyr doesn't even want to think about that in any way - not with himself or with her. ]

I know you wouldn't... It wasn't right of me to make that sort of assumption.
