What were the ways in which Fa could spend time not fretting about KTFE's very near dissolution, her very near dissolution of Agate, and all of the backlash in between? The answer was not much; KTFE as an AI was more powerful than Fa, exponentially so. She had stated her will; Fa did not want to discourage the patronage of the other AI by going against that...

But moreover, she wanted to respect boundaries. She waited until K was willing to take a step forward, though it was extremely hard not to loiter, not to hover on the edges of her own perception. She had to fill all of this time, or she'd drive herself to distraction with fretting.

She did something that she didn't often do. Fa had crafted the tenuous bridge between life and afterlife with the intention of allowing humans integrate at their own pace. That meant, sometimes, that there were a lot of emotions to process, which meant that there was a particular subset of transitioned humans that were particularly volatile. Their activities were not the kind that Fa enjoyed revelling in, mostly. She preferred to spend time with those who were in quiet contemplation, or those who wanted to re-explore their youth... but it seemed somehow appropriate to spectate on the subculture of crime and rule-breaking that had begun to grow in the center of her unique domain.

It wasn't that humans were unused to Nexistence' ability to twist the rules, but it was the first time that many of them had such free rein over their own consequences. The blonde spent a few days meandering through that, observing a different kind of fallout. Proto-AI behaviour was occurring here; securing of resources, even if those were trivial. Networking to greatest effect. It seemed like games had been made of it... which wasn't surprising, but was a little bit tiring. Fa visited a few of these people in private, cataloguing their progress, determining background influence, likelihood of progression out of this particular phase, as she thought of it. The results kept her occupied for some time.

Maybe the truth of it it was that most people held onto their 'last words', and Kay had not been an outlier. She saw patterns, but then, that was how she navigated the waters. She and Agate weren't so entirely different.

She hoped that K was doing well enough. She missed the other AI terribly.

K leaned into the hug, allowing it and, once she'd relaxed into it, muscle by virtual muscle, took solace in it to. Damn it, it had been a long time subjectively since she'd been the subject of affection. It took some remembering.

"If I ever ping him," she assured Fa, "I'll introduce you. He's a good kid."

[dohremi]

"If you do, I'll let you," Fa replied. "I'll beg friendly acquaintance if you want it... I know it was a different time and place, after all." She took the squeeze in stride, using it as a cue to nuzzle the other woman and, after a moment, swap up positions. In a moment or two she'd squished K under her arm, not quite literally taking her under her wing, but otherwise giving her one big, gently swooping hug.

[ktfe]

The squish of a hug solicited a grin from K, at least, and a butting-in; she spent several moments nuzzling into Fa's shoulder and hugging arm, and slid her arms around that long, pale torso in return.

"You ever think of taking a turn in a meat body?" she asked, from somewhere around Fa's chest.

[dohremi]

"I'd get caught so fast they'd lop my head off and use the body for parts," Fa replied immediately, going stiff. "I... anyways, I have more than just fond memories. Those things take maintenance, you know!"

[ktfe]

"You've got resources," K suggested wickedly. "You've got folks who could help you slip under the radar." One way or another. Certainly Agate had the tech to send her anywhen she might look to blend into the background. Maybe anywhere, too. Had she ever asked?

Anyways she nuzzled against Fa's creamy skin, gave her a playful lick. "Afraid of all the exercise, is that it? I've heard it said you can get all the exercise you need between the sheets, as long as you have the time to kill!"

[dohremi]

Fa gave a throaty laugh, surprised and amused. "This is why I love you so much," she exclaimed, poking K about her ribs. "I'd like to get you between the sheets if you're put together enough for it!"

[ktfe]

"Oh yeah?" K's tone was playfully sultry, and her fingers tickled lines up Fa's back around where they might cause some trouble. "I don't know, you might have to go gentle on me."

[dohremi]

"I can do that," Fa replied, tone more chipper than sultry for a moment. Then she ducked into a smoky-eyed look, which quickly passed into an eye-droop of pleasure. "You still got it," she sighed. After a moment, she came back to her senses, returning the favour of gentle touches, finger-pad blunt, over her stomach and then slipping under her waist hem to get access to her torso. How about a belly-rub, was that not the most gentle of seductions?

[ktfe]

K rearranged, sliding her legs over Fa's rather than knees pulled up to her own chest, all the better to accommodate such welcome touches! She arched her back a little, popping her belly out to meet Fa's sweet fingers, wearing a happy little grin.

Even then, her fingers kept stroking up and down their little patch of Fa's back. "That's the stuff."

[dohremi]

"What's the stuff?" Fa asked, her grin approaching sneaky. "This stuff?" She ran her fingers gently, lovingly over K's smooth stomach nearly to her breasts, "or this stuff?" her hand slipped down K's side, fingers wriggling in a clear violation of tickle truce.

[ktfe]

K squealed at such a transgression of the tickle boundaries, a sharp contrast from the beginnings of a warm purr she'd been starting up in favour of Fa's northward-straying fingers. "The first! The first one," she admonished, wriggling. Her hand around Fa's back had grabbed the pale woman's side, perhaps accidentally broaching the tickle truce herself.

[dohremi]

Fa was willing to concede, now that a contrast had been set. "Oh, alright. If a lady so clearly knows what she wants, a lady deserves to have it." She had been doing admirably against the hand groping at her. Now she gently wriggled clear for a moment, readjusting herself so that she could all but spoon the other woman on the wide bench. She set them to gently swinging before she tucked her legs up behind K, scooping the shorter lady into position without so much as a 'by your leave' or whatever ridiculous equivalent she could come up with.

Then she slipped her hand under K's shirt again, all but purring into her hair as her fingers wandered. "Better?"

[ktfe]

K spent a few moments herself adjusting to the idea of laying down on the cushioned, moving bench, even grabbing the edge of it as it began to properly swing so as to assure herself she wasn't going to fall off.

Being nestled up against Fa helped, too. She butted up against the blonde for comfort and then to enjoy the resumed touch, grinning. "Much," she sighed, closing her eyes and opening up to those wandering fingers. Truly, here she was safe and comfortable... safe was a nice feeling just then, trust was an enlivening change from paranoia and anger. She melted by degrees, but ultimately, if Fa kept that up, she was going to melt entirely. "Ooh... thank you," murmured the redhead.

[dohremi]

"This is a pleasure as much for me," Fa murmured, nose pressed against K's hair, "as it is for you, I think. It's so good to be pressed against you again. You feel right." Her hand was still running, touch-hungry but gentle, across the other woman's torso. No hint of trying to rile her up yet, but Fa was more than happy to take her time if it meant that K felt safe.

[ktfe]

K was responding brilliantly just to the touch, which to her were steps on the path to sex -- to be perfectly honest about it. But she had no objection to taking the scenic route, and the things Fa was saying were sweet, soothing things. She started up a small rumble of a purr, arching just a little bit into each of Fa's warm-palm passes across her belly.

"You know how to tuck me right in," she purred with some humor, belated response to Fa's words. Not that K made that difficult; Fa was warm and lovely and just the right shape for spooning.

[dohremi]

"I know how to tuck into you, too," she promised, purring right back. There was a harmony there, K's gentle noises of appreciation and Fa's encouragement. She nuzzled through some of K's hair to find her ear lobe, kissing it, laying nary a tooth upon it. "And I know how to keep you safe."

That said, one of her thighs pressed carefully between the other woman's giving K something to settle on if she wanted a little bit of extra stimulation. She was still keeping her hand-wandering as chaste as rubbing a kitten's belly, but K was warm and soft and perfect, and Fa was enjoying having such a familiar and welcoming presence in her arms again after such a worrisome absence.

[ktfe]

Fa had a singular talent for tapping into the vibe and discerning the meaning behind it. Her warm words about comfort and safety made K furrow her brows up in the middle, earned a sigh that was tremulous, a little. She accepted Fa's thigh between her legs, butted against it a little, but made no moves just then to grind or groan or writhe; she was content to let Fa take her on the ride that she had planned.

[dohremi]

For a good long while, the blonde said nothing else, though her hand kept working a path up and down, side to side, finger-light touches across K's skin. At this rate she was likely to put them both into a trance; Fa had rested her nose against the back of K's neck and her breath was regular and soothingly slow.

Eventually, she gave the other woman the slightest of nips, more with her lips than her teeth. Her fingers slipped low, gently questing over K's mons and between her legs. At first she only played across the other woman over her pants, but it wasn't long once she started before she'd slipped her hand beneath K's waist hem. None of this was meant as an immediate move. In fact, her touch was as delicate as it had been across the other woman's stomach. Fa seemed more inclined to feel her way over new territory at this point.

[ktfe]

The touch itself may have been innocent, but it was not without context and K could do no less than take it as a come-on. After all, for Fa, sex was part of a whole-body soothe, wasn't it? Certainly it was something that K had pre-emptively greenlit, even in the golden-lit comfort of their long cuddle.

So she groaned low-throated, grinned out to the world where Fa couldn't see it. She nudged her hips against Fa's soft hand, offering approval and invitation, and where she'd rested one hand on Fa's other hand cast around her, she removed it and went down to undo the button on her pants. Clothing was flavour text, and undressing was window-dressings of the best kind.

[dohremi]

It rather was, at least when Fa propped herself up on her elbow to peer down the length of K's lovely body. "You look luscious," she pronounced in an appreciative murmur once the pants were down. "I might have to keep you for a while, you know." By 'keep' she might have meant 'feel', given that a moment later her fingers were sliding over K's thigh and up between her legs, gently caressing labia and even, now and again, flicking past the hood of her clit before repeating the process.

[ktfe]

"Oh, so I've been picked to be owned by a cat, have I?" K chuckled in her throat. She butted her head back carefully, offering a backwards nuzzle. "I know the score. I can't turn that down."

Then Fa's busy fingers make their first round of her labia and K is ushered into a lip-biting sigh, a stifled groan -- the better to hear Fa with, and after all, breaking out into her noisiest groans at the very beginning here isn't the way to play the game. She parts her legs a little, propping one up at a gentle angle to allow Fa easier access back and in, whenever she fancies taking a dip.

[dohremi]

"Being Chosen is a momentous occasion," Fa chuckles quietly, feeling the other woman shift and adjusting minutely to accommodate her. "Of course you can't turn that down." There were times, now and again, when she sounded much like Agate. In those times it was usually cadence and tone that gave her a unique edge. This was probably one of those.

Anyways, she was only giving K enough proper play to allow for stifled little groans. Fa was keeping K safe, which meant that the other woman was going to get to describe -- be it in words or in groans -- just what she wanted and when.

[ktfe]

It took a time for K to catch on that today, she'd be steering from the bottom, as it were. The slow pace began to tease, despite all of her intentions to keep today sweet and slow, and she began to arch her hips forward more insistently; when Fa responded to that K had laughed, accepted the scene for what it was. She ran a hand up and down the arm that Fa had so lasciviously wrapped around her, encouragingly. "Good," she offered as Fa's fingers, now slick with wet, slid over her clit, "Oh, very good."

[dohremi]

"Good enough for me," Fa replied, though for the rest of it, she tried to keep her mouth shut. She squeezed the redhead back and took some time to consider the other woman's labia... and to wet her fingers well. Then, slow and steady, she slicked across K's clit in rounded strokes. The time had come where window-dressings weren't enough. She could tell that K needed more.

[ktfe]

K houghed a laugh and would have retorted, except that Fa was an expert derailer. Any retort she might have posed was lost in a breathy whine of pleasure as Fa's fingers focused their efforts: so much leadup, so much teasing, left K very susceptible to even the laziest of strokes, much less this lovely offering. Her labia were plump and easy to slide through, her clit a hard nubbin, and she expressed her approval by tightening her hand around Fa's questing arm. She was being played like an instrument, and loved it, and beyond the purring thrum her body sent up, she was opening herself up to the experience in other, less literal ways.
