Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Blue is one of those people who tends to wake instantly, whether because some noise, scent, or feeling draws her out of the dreamworld and into alertness or just because her body is simply done resting. She doesn't sleep as long as most people do unless she's truly tired out. Last night, she'd been truly tired out but is startled to see she's slept almost eight hours. Without even twitching, aside from openng her eyes and smiling, Blue regards the large muscular body lying atop her right arm with a sense of well being and satisfaction.

She'd been on the dryspell to end all dryspells after all and while this was hardly the one night stand she expected to find to end that spell, it's so much better. How amazing to find Teddy again after all these years. It's been at least three, four? lifetimes for her since they last met and things are so very different now. 'That isn't always a good thing.' Blue muses to herself. 'But this time, it's fanfuckingtastic. Seriously.' Her smile widens into a grin and she just watches Ted sleep, resisting the urge to stretch.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant wakes to the sensation of sleeping on someone's arm. That's a new one. At way more than 200 pounds he's cut off a woman's circulation. Sleeping eight hours is odd for him too. He earned it last night, dancing, dinner and more dancing and a touch of libations. He needed to buy beer. He rolls towards Blue, none of his usual morning brain fart: what the hell was her name again? Embarrassing but it happened at times. women were blurring together with the life he led but not Blue. There were few women who danced the Lindy these days, let alone one who could toss /him/ high.

And there she was looking him with those beautiful ghost eyes of hers. He slips an arm around her neck and pulls her hair away from her face.

"Hey." He was not one for repartee before morning coffee.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Laughing softly, Blue leans forward and kisses Ted before tucking her head beneath his chin and resting against him. She'd had those days too until she cut herself off. When one alcohol fueled night stand blurred into the next and she couldn't remember names, or faces. It turned into a nightmare at times, trying to judge the scents upon waking and figure out who/and/or/what she'd ended up with. Loneliness is a real bitch.

"Maybe neither of us has to be so alone anymore. I at least would like that." Blue murmurs softly. "Though in a few days I'm gonna disappear for about a week and half. I'll be back as soon as possible." With a final kiss and hug, she rolls out of bed and a grey tank top night gown covers her body as she heads towards Ted's kitchen. "Coffee?" She calls over her shoulder.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant sits up. A morning person, God help us. He was up early, it just didn't come naturally. "You brought that little outfit. Awfully sure of yourself." He was sleeping when she'd changed.

"Coffee would be nice. I usually make the breakfast after... -how do ya like your legs? EGGS?!" He realizes he was a whisker away from a far worse Freudian slip.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
It's true that Blue isn't displaying any signs of awkwardness that usually happens after the first sleepover. She's usually pretty sure of herself and her body. With a laugh she glances down and then grins. "I cheated. I wasn't really thinking about it but I'm used to putting clothes on when I wake so the magic just did it. I guess it's feeling saucy. I don't really have any control over what clothes appear but this is kinda sexy."

Simple and plain cotton but it shows off her shoulders to good effect and clings tight to her curves. Hearing Ted's slip as she sets about making coffee and thanking the gods he doesn't have one of those fancy machines but a good old fashioned one, Blue smothers another laugh. "I'm pretty easy." She responds cheekily. "I'll eat whatever you're having, and while I can make coffee I can't cook. I've burned water. There's still eggshell in my ceiling from last time I tried to boil one of the damn things."

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant follows her at the comment about magical clothing changes. He watches as she makes coffee and waits for her to step away before encircling her waist. "Magic clothes, hunh? Interesting." He nuzzles her neck a little.

"I can deal with breakfast. Uhm, ham and eggs good? I can probably handle home fries. You need your calories being a shifting girl and all." It was interesting hugging another person without an ounce of fat on them. He begins to see what the ladies see in him.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Blue pauses after setting out two mugs and covering the bottom half of hers with sugar. "Thanks, that sounds great." She smiles and hops up to sit on the counter after receiving another hug. He's so very fit and it's a nice change of pace. She tended towards the ladies herself before she decided it was best to be alone again.

"Someone asked me recently how I did the clothes, where they came from.. and I realized I have no idea. I just need them and they appear. Makes it easy for me as a shifter because most people don't have that kind of luck. I know it's some sort of old Native magic but that's all I know."

Her lips quirk. "I can't complain if it kits me out in ancient garb or mismatched rags because it's still better than ending up naked on the streets. Or having to disrobe every time I want to shift." She also knows her shifting is different than some others she's seen or heard tell of, since she changes forms in a second or two at most and it's entirely painless.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant gets the eggs and fixings out and a skillet then sees Blue is on the counter and feels it is a nice opportunity for another kiss. So he does. "I got no complaints, Maybe it'll kit you out in some lingerie if I wish hard enough." He turns back to cooking before she can respond. As he's breaking and beating the eggs he says, "If I can help you with that going away business just say so, or if you want company."

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
After the kiss, a very good kiss at that! Blue snickers. "I do have real clothes. I'll wear something special next time. Or bring it with me." She isn't sure either of them thought things would go quite this fast but the woman is clearly happy with how last night went.

"It's uhm.." There is a long pause that has a strange awkward feel to it. Blue is studying the flood intently when she eventually answers.

"It's like this.. we just found each other again and our relationship is different this time. You said last night you don't want kids, and I get that. Even if you did, it'd be way too soon right? I've only got a few days left before I have to.. leave or I kinda.. go nuts. I mean, oh hell. This is so.." She never regrets whatever she is or her Otherself but explaining this is always such a damn chore.

"Abstinence is the only thing that works, okay? I go through this every spring. Every March." Blue sighs heavily and scratches her nose. "It's a little embarrassing to have admit. I was kinda trying last night but I did a bad job cause I hate talking about it. I hate not being in control of myself."

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant turns down the flame on browning ham. He is acutely reminded while Blue is a thousand years old (at least, but she has only partial memories and she's been in this body a short time. So right now she's a very unsure young woman.

He leans in to give her another kiss. Another good one in fact.

He regards her seriously when those beautiful eyes open. "I... maybe kids would be different with you -if we work this out long term. Don't want to rule anything out. I never met another immortal. But, you can tell me whatever you want, or simply now is not the time -Ted. I know... basically Johnny is dead and we're two sex maniacs with a lot of common ground. I'm good seeing where this goes. I just thought you were doing detective work or breaking somebody's kneecaps. C'mere." He holds his arms out for a hug. the hug has a great deal of back rubbing in it.

"I'm crazy about you... and if we had a kid, it's a good chance it'd be immortal too, and really hot."

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Her expression softens and Blue catches her reflexion in a bit of glass in the kitchen and for a moment the struggle against letting her vulnerability show is obvious. Just when it looks like she's about to go all tough as nails hardass bitch again.. she just.. doesn't. He really gets it. He gets her. "Thank you." Blue leans forward and presses her forehead against Ted's for a minute, just gazing back into his eyes.

She settles into the hug with a happy sound. "I could definitely use some help with that sometimes. I'm enjoying spending some time with those firefighter and cop types but if they knew what I really get up to... well that friendship probably won't last." It's a dance, a dangerous one but that's what makes it fun. Though Blue readily admits to herself that particular thrill is paling fast in light of spending time with Ted. The actual dancing they did... Woooooeeeee. That was real fun.

Ted Grant has posed:
Ted Grant reaches over to turn the flame down. He shifts so she can rest her forehead on his shoulder. Then his hands form a seat under her, He lifts her up and starts walking back to the bedroom. "I think breakfast can wait a little while. I think some more talk and stuff would be good. Do you agree?" He holds her one handed, bicep swelling and puts his free hand under her chin. "Emphasis on the stuff... You look exhausted being you. Now... one thing, I think a kid right now isn't the best move for us or it. Maybe next time you have a window after some talk.I mean I was a shitty absentee father in one case. Had an enemy abduct my firstborn. There's a third out there I was told to stay away from... " then he's kissing her again, crushing her in a tight hold.

Blue GhostEyes has posed:
Snuggling around Ted, Blue just nods. Her voice is thick with emotion when she agrees. "Yeah. Yeah, that'd be good." She husks softly. She doesn't know if she has any descendants out there, ones that aren't wholly coyote anyway. She does think she'd like the chance to try it someday though but not alone. Her life and abilities are too volatile. It's something to think about, maybe look forward to but for now.. "For now.. I'm just happy being with you." Blue says as she shoves the door shut behind them with her foot.
