[Kain certainly has a way of interrupting tender moments when it suits his fancy, but Ignis can't find it within him to complain as the wyvern's warm and familiar weight lumbers onto the bed and proceeds to burrow its way between their legs. He shifts to allow Kain room, though not quite enough to let it part the two of them-- and yet there's no denying the broad and bright smile that pulls at his lips as Steven showers affection on his winged charge. It's always pleased him to know that the two of them got along.]
He certainly doesn't think so. I sometimes worry that with my work schedule, he gets a bit bored-- I'm glad that he and Aron get on so well.
[He reaches to lightly scratch at the back of Kain's head, and the wyvern gives a pleased coo at the affection he's receiving from the both of them.]
Aron is used to having playmates, I'm sure, but I'm glad Kain has taken so well to having one, too.
[ though he hardly minds having aron with him for company, it's relieving to know that he can leave her at home with kain as company. though he may have "interrupted" their moment, there's affection in this one, too. ]
You'd be surprised. She's young, so her bids for attention from the others sometimes go unaddressed - Kain has been an excellent friend to her in that sense.
[ he gets scratches behind the ears for that. who's a good boy? you are, son. ]
[Kain tips his head back in response as he wiggles a bit closer to Steven, eager to coax another scratch or two out of him before his humans go about their day. Ignis smirks faintly as he leans back against the pillows, his hand coming to rest lightly against the small of Steven's back in the process.]
I never quite imagined myself with so many non-human charges.
[Even if Kain is the only one who is technically his, and Pokemon aren't pets so much as they are partners, Ignis certainly has developed a fondness for most of Steven's team, as well, and has taken great pleasure in learning their tastes so that he might prepare them meals from time to time as he does for Kain.]
Quite a brood we've assembled between the two of us, isn't it?
You've adapted to well. Were Pokémon to roam in the wild here, I think you'd make an excellent Trainer.
[ he means that! ignis already has the strategic prowess needed for battle and the attentiveness to understand individual needs and personalities. he's seen potential in trainers before, and ignis has the qualities that he'd normally foster in rookies.
he'll happily comply with kain's request, giving him the attention he's looking for. most people may find an aversion to cuddling something with scales, but this is the same person that's fond of curling up with creatures that have smooth, cold, rebuffing armor as skin. it all works out. ]
It's as the saying goes - the more the merrier.
[ he's come to understand that over his time here. ]
[Ignis knows precisely how seriously Steven takes his duties as a trainer, and the high standards he holds to others who would walk that same path. He's considered, once or twice, what his life might have been like in a world like Steven's, though he wouldn't have given up his own life back home for anything. Still, it was interesting to think about.]
Indeed— although there's something to be said for when it's just the two of us, as well.
[He's not about to hurry Kain out of the room, but he does have an idea or two of how they might start their morning. Given that neither of them has showered yet, it has the potential to be particularly efficient, if they want to make the best use of their time off together.]
If you're not hungry for breakfast just yet, perhaps I could interest you in something else.
[ he’s similarly wondered what sort of role he’d play in eos, but the thought has only been made in passing. dwelling on what could never be for too long has the potential to be painful, even if it’s only a fantasy.
his eyes drift from kain up to his partner’s face, raising an inquisitive eyebrow. as blissful as their sleepy morning has been, he knows well that excitement tends to follow the words “just the two of us”. ]
Of course. [ he inches closer. ] Go on...
[ he can take a guess, but he’d rather have ignis say it out loud. ]
[Kain knows body language well enough to recognize that he's about to be excused, and so he takes the opportunity to each of them a gentle nuzzle against their hands before he leaps down from the bed, landing soundly on the floor before retreating from the room.
Ignis laughs softly, but takes the opportunity to put both of his arms around Steven's waist, leaning in to lightly brush his lips against Steven's ear so that he can keep his voice low.]
Well, if you're not in the mood for breakfast, perhaps some morning lovemaking will whet your appetite...
[ there are many things that steven likes about kain, but his impeccable ability to read the room is one of his favourites. the nuzzle is appreciated, but his attention is much more focused on someone else.
the lips at his ear sends a shiver down his spine as his eyes drop shut, reveling in the sound of his lover's voice. his hand reaches behind him to gently thread his fingers through ignis' hair, encouraging him to stay close. ]
An excellent suggestion. It may be just what I'm craving.
[Ignis smiles knowingly, tilting his head to lean in for a kiss as he lets one hand come to rest against the side of Steven's neck, though he pulls back a moment later, nodding towards the door just as Kain's tail disappears beyond it.]
