[ She'd said that it wouldn't be selfish in the least to wish to see some of her loved ones. Not in the least. But Hilda at least hopes that if anyone she does know arrives here that their circumstances are better than hers.
But it's situations like these that make Hilda's own promise to herself not to become too involved and too attached difficult. If she worries about her own resolve however, it doesn't show. She's too focused on ensuring that Aerith has at least one anchor in this place of chaos. ]
You don't strike me as the kind of person that will just sit there and mope about it for too long.
[ And she means that as a compliment. The bright smile she gives her dims some only because her eyes seem to search her as if looking for something. ]
You're feeling okay, right? The food hasn't made you feel odd in any way?
β₯ I mean, why wrap soon when you've given such a lovely opening for something~
[ Aerith's eyes crinkle with a warm smile. It's true that she's unlikely to dwell on the whole thing for too long. As worried as she is, she also knows that there's no point just sitting around and waiting to be rescued. She'll figure things out so long as she tries.
Perhaps she'd comment on that too, if Hilda's question didn't come and make her tilt her head in thought. Foolish of her, perhaps, to have indulged so quickly in breakfastβshe's experienced what the food here can do already in her short time here, but she was hungry enough to not think too much about it.
Still, a quick mental check-in seems to be okay: nothing feels too weird outside of the hangover, nothing seems horribly out of sortsβ
Or so she thinks, but Hilda's eyes searching her so clearly may find the hint of something starting in her eyes, something clouded and distant that hasn't even fully reached Aerith's awareness yet.
[ The strange, clouded look in Aerith's eyes should be a signal that things are probably not "okay" in the sense of what Hilda means, which is remaining totally normal without any sort of resort tampering involved. But the effects of whatever it was they had eaten starts to curl around her too making her notice just how pretty Aerith's eyes are and the way they sparkle against her complexion and hair. Warmth creeps up the back of her neck but she tries her best to pay it little mind.
A stray piece of it catches her attention and without thinking she brushes it back back behind Aerith's ear. ]
I think so. And if that's the case maybe we can get dressed and I can help you find your room. [ Her gaze flits to the since forgotten hangover kit and her mind suddenly begins to trail towards what she's come to dub the "resort brain". The picture of innocence, she nods towards the bag. ] Was there anything else that was useful?
[ Aerith smiles, tilting her head without thought into that gentle touch as Hilda's fingers graze against her, tucking her hair back behind her ear. And maybe it's a little odd to be so affectionate with someone so new to her, but she doesn't really mind. She smiles, and nods. ]
Mm, finding my room sounds like a good ideaβ
[ And yet, the other asking about the bag draws her own attention right to it, specifically to the pink (how fitting) double-ended dildo sitting amongst the medicines and chocolates. She clears her throat, reaching into the bag again and, this time, surfacing with that, and of course with the box of bon bons. ]
I guess that depends~ Would you say these are useful to you?
[ As a side note, Aerith is suddenly aware all over again of the fact that she's just sitting here in bed with another person, completely and entirely naked. ]
[ Hilda would have understood if it felt too affectionate. Then again, she's met few people as tactile as her even in a place like this. And she would have happily left it there should the suggestion she had softly placed in front of her hadn't landed. If they stayed in here too long it was entirely likely that a staff member would have asked them to leave.
But when something pink and shiny and definitely familiar in the sense that she had seen and used a dildo before, her eyes seem to darken with a hunger. She hums as if deciding between the two before gently taking the box of bon bons from her new acquaintance and placing it aside before curling her hand around Aerith's, drawing herself closer in the same breath. Her bare knee bumps up against Aerith's beneath the sheets. ]
This might be more useful right now. But only if you want to. [ Her gaze flits from the toy and back towards her. ] Have you used one before?
[ For someone who just said she's sure she's unaffected, there's no excusing the heat that rises to Aerith's cheeks when she sees the toy, the way that she bites her lip in anticipation. She leans in to Hilda as she's tugged closer, until they're a little too close, and there's warmth in her cheeks but no real embarrassment in her as she shakes her head in answer, in admission. ]
I've never.
[ The truth is that until she arrived here, she was a virgin, highly inexperienced and still very much learning as she goes. Nor has she ever really considered if she's attracted to womenβalthough right now at least, the answer is very much a "yes".
Her tongue darts out over her lips. ]
But I'm willing to learn, if you don't mind guiding me along the way~.
