You've reached Tighnari. I'm not able to answer right now, so just leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can.

Yes, I am.

[ and cyno knows tighnari more than well enough to be able to read his body language as easily as words on a page - he's content, he's happy, comfortable, and that makes cyno happy and comfortable. even better once tighnari's hand slips into his hair, chasing a low rumble from his chest. cyno closes his eyes, leaning his head into the attentions of tighnari's hand. ]

Feels good..

[ they have always been comfortable getting close like this. for so long. cyno can hardly remember a time before they were affectionate with one another.. it's one of the few things that can make cyno feel safe, warm, fully content. ]

[forestwatcher]

[Tighnari sighs and relaxes by degrees, melting into both the hand on his ears and the warmth of the body he's currently ungracefully flopped on top of. One of his ears twitches and he feels the tip of it thwap against Cyno's face.

It's enough to have him raising his head with a crooked smile, and he tucks one forearm under his chin to keep it there. At least this way, the other man isn't going to end up with ears his his face again... even if he never actually seems to mind. His eyes soften, and he idly swings his feet back and forth.]

If you keep having nightmares like that, I'll try to think of something to help medicinally. Though... it really would only be a temporary fix.

[And should, since numbing the mind like that is something that shouldn't be done in the long term and Tighnari does not have enough experience with dealing with bad dreams to be meddling too much in them.]

But it seems my being here worked well enough last night.

[cashewlater]

[ it feels good, feeling tighnari sagging into his touch, feeling him slowly relax. for all cyno's job might be stressful, he never forgets that tighnari works hard, too, that he deserves to be able to relax just as much as cyno does. to be able to bring him that relief.. it feels nice. it makes him feel useful, needed. when he feels tighnari shift he opens his eyes again, gazing down into tighnari's lovely face. he looks good bathed in morning light. ]

Mm.. you don't have to trouble yourself. Though it might help.

[ cyno doesn't mind dealing with the nightmares, he's dealt with worse. he's a patient, tolerant man, he can handle it. though he doesn't love the idea of it keeping tighnari awake.. he needs his rest, and cyno doesn't want to be a bother to him when tighnari has been kind enough to take him in.

his hand drops a little, knuckles dragging along the crest of tighnari's cheek. it's an intimate gesture, he realizes after the fact, but it's just so easy to touch him. ]

But you're right. I slept better next to you. I'm glad you were able to get some rest, too.

[forestwatcher]

[Tighnari hums softly, a patient and content sort of sound as he tilts his head slightly into the touch against his cheek and half closes his eyes. It is an intimate gesture, but not a kind of intimacy that he has any objections to.]

I could hardly have rested well with you waking up all night, in any case.

[So his proposition is really for the best for both of them. He would rather have his friend nearby than have him move off on his own simply because he was having bad dreams, because what kind of a friend would he be if he dismissed someone in need like that? No, that wouldn't do at all.

Tighnari sighs again, his ears flicking under Cyno's touch, then he grunts and pulls away to sit up and stretch his arms up over his head.]

Mmmn. That's enough of that. [Enough pampering. He could fall asleep again.] I'm hungry. I think you owe me breakfast.

[cashewlater]

[ noooo cuddle time over? :(

cyno tries not to pout, but it's quite clear that he's disappointed when tighnari finally pulls away. even if he's quite right. the morning is drawing on, and they should both get some food in them. still, he misses the heat of tighnari's body right away. sighing through his nose, cyno sits forward as well, stretching his back until it pops, the blankets all rucked up around his hips. ]

All right, all right.

[ breakfast it is. ]

.. thank you, Tighnari.

[forestwatcher]

[Already, he has a feeling that they are going to make a habit of this. He doesn't mind. Having Cyno close has always felt natural and why should it not right now, when the man surely needs him the most? Besides, it would only be until he became more settled... then it wouldn't be needed anymore.

But for now - breakfast. Tighnari hops out of bed and stretches again, his tail swishing behind him and his ears twitching, then he shoots the other man a warm smile.]

I'll get started. Take as long as you need to wake up and join me, all right?
