Dried tears

"Well, it's all just paperwork, really. I haven't had much of a marriage with Feix. It was just the legal one. Never had that of the Church. Don't think, knowing who I am now, that I'd ever get that far either."

"Get that far where? I'm sure Namide would help us...if we asked..."

"I meant a Church marriage, in the Human World. They are so great, magnificent. It's a real festival on it's own."

"Really? I remember mine and Syprus's wedding...it wasn't as grand as you're probably wanting ours to be..."

"It's odd, but I miss the times when everything was hard to get, and everything took effort. Now it's just snap your fingers, and you get it, or you just pay with the limitless cash."

"What do you mean? My savings has been built over a thousand years..."

"Exactly. So, there's no effort at all in doing something. For me, I can do anything. Anything I want. But, I just want things to be harder to achieve again. Work, to stay alive. Daily routine. Not, you know, drifting off in doing things."

"Then let me do everything...I'll work for the both of us, and Teri too!" *She understood where she was coming from...her powers...anything she wanted.* "Your powers got you the one thing that will let you relax, and never have to worry about that again: Me."

"Thanks, Tsun, but let's split it fair. We'll both take a job, not something we'll get much from. Just enough to live from. I won't use my powers, aside from some sensual occasions, and you'll put the savings on hold. Doesn't that sound like more of a challenge then using what we already have?"

"I'm the one with a trade...I've worked in it for over a thousand years already...plus the clinic..."

"Well, now that you mention it. I'm not very handy in dealing with things at home. And clearly I'm terrible at any job." She sat up. "So what am I good at?"

"I'm...sorry...did I offend you?" *She looked at her...there were plenty of things she was good at...and she recently discovered another thing last night...*

"No, I just thought about myself, and not about you. I'm still having a hard time adjusting, you know. 500 years solo, then suddenly you two like this, that's a bit of a thing I have to learn again."

"Then take care at home...and I'll ply my trades for the both of us..." *She kissed her on the lips, feeling the same as last night.* "...you really are a goddess...to make me feel that from a kiss."

She blushed, haven't done anything like it before, and still, with her best friend, turning out to be the woman of her dreams. "Thanks. If only others would believe it." She put her arm around Tsun, and fell back on the bed, dragging her along. "your eyes are beautiful. 'Nyone ever tell you that?"

"Syprus did...once." *She looked at her. Having been with Syprus the last 500 plus years...she was kinda used to that kind of relationship...*

"Well, he didn't see that they turn a bit in color, each time you look. They're a slight bit different each time. Makes it the more exciting, since you don't know what to see next."

*She blushed. She didn't even know that about her eyes...* "R-really? I-I never knew..."

"It's because I'm just really looking deep." Her hand slid to Tsun's collarbone.

*Feeling C.C.'s power, her body shuddered, as if cold.* "Y-you're g-good..."

"You're still drained from this morning, perhaps we should do something else?" She got up, walked into the bathroom, and came out a second later, in bikini.

*Tsun sat up, a haze of static coming from her lips...did C.C. always look that good? Or was it the recent revelations?*

"How about some tanning in the sun? I could use it, I always am a bit pale, no?" She went on the balcony in her bikini, to look at the weather, which wasn't looking promising.

"S-sure...I-I know a g-great spot...in the D-demon world..." *She was feeling something...something about C.C. that wasn't apparent before...was making her feel this way...*

She looked over her shoulder to Tsun, her hair falling from her back, over her shoulder, to the front, like a curtain, over her chest. "You all right? You're stammering."
