Aaaaah.

[It's a satisfied little noise, punctuated by a shy nod. Berserker manages to keep up well enough as they keep swaying to the music - at least until she takes a shy glance up toward Soleil's face.]

...Ooh!

[There's a small misstep, and her foot briefly comes down on top of her goddess'. At least she isn't wearing her usual heavy boots tonight?]

[Thank goodness for fancy footwear!

But that also means Soleil's own feet are, likewise, far less protected than on a normal night. She lets out a quick, sharp 'tch-!' of pain and surprise, but she's also very quick to regain her composure. And, honestly, there's something a little reassuring in the fact that she didn't make the first blunder here...!]

Still holding up?

[Not that it was a particularly arduous task - a simple and easy dance, but it's a good way to downplay what just happened.]

Ah...!

[Berserker is holding up fine, but her goddess is hurt! Despite Soleil’s apparent desire to play it off, her shinki heard that little sound of pain and is in triage mode now. The song is ending anyway, so she shifts her hands to scoop Soleil up into a princess carry, walking her over her to an unoccupied chair and depositing her gently.]

Uhhhh... uhhhhhhhh...

[Kneeling down, she starts working to undo whatever buckles or straps are holding on the shoe she’s wearing on the foot Berserker trod on before. In the middle of a fancy party or not, she is getting tended to with a foot rub to make sure she’s okay.]

[Whoa-! So strong! Soleil clearly wasn't expecting this, but after a short noise of surprise, she offers up a light laugh.]

Hey, don't worry, I'm not upset or anything like that.

[Not that she's... really keen on stopping Berserker. Middle of a party or not, being doted on by someone so cute is something she's always up for, after all! It's just better to make sure she knows it isn't expected, necessarily.]

[Comes with the territory. Berserker and all. She looks up when Soleil reassures her, smiling sheepishly.]

Aaaaaa...

[But as long as she isn't stopping her either, she's very diligent about the foot rub. She pays special attention to her goddess' toes, noticing they're a little red and sore from the earlier misstep.]

Mm?

[Does it feel good?]

[As long as she's being careful, there's really no real reason to protest.]

Hmm, that does feel much better. [For as nonchalant as her last attempt at smoothing over the whole situation had been, that statement came out much smoother, more natural and sincere.] Thank you, Berserker.

Heeeee...

[Berserker smiles broadly at Soleil as she finishes, patting the top of her foot before dipping her face down to give her toes a little kiss. That's what you do, right? Kiss it better?]

[So cute... her heart almost can't take it!

Leaning forward, she runs her hand through Berserker's hair lightly, a gentle pat on the head accompanied with a soft and light laugh.]

So attentive...! You know, when you spoil me like that, it really makes me want to spoil you back.

[There's a happy little hum at that, followed by a head tilt. Berserker shifts in place, pointing at her own feet.]

Ah...?

[Bingo!]

You guessed it.

[And, while the setting doesn't really bother her too much, the comforts of home are a far more tempting place to be doting on her partner.]

Had enough of this place, yet? We could go home, and I'll return the favor there.

[Berserker perks up even more at that.]

Uh, uh!

[Smiling widely, she gives a big nod of approval, wiggling her toes happily before standing and extending a hand to Soleil. Teleporting is faster, right?]

[Teleporting is definitely faster, and while maybe kind of an unusual thing to do during a party, the theme of tonight is apparently ignoring shame and social norms.]

Let's get out of here, then.

[She takes her shinki's offered hand with all the grace and dignity that the setting calls for, squeezing it gently before zipping the two of them right on out of the meeting hall and back to the temple of Fryer.]

[Berserker smiles, squeezing that hand back and holding on tight as the two teleport back to the temple. And once they're there, she takes off running toward Soleil's room. Kicking her shoes off at the door, she jumps up onto the bed and kicks her feet, wiggling her toes in anticipation of the pampering to come.]

Ah, ahhhh!

[Soleil follows close behind, unable to help but laugh cheerfully at Berserker’s enthusiasm. Ahh, she’s just so cute...!]

All right, then! I’m sure this will feel extra nice after being on your feet all day.

[Fancy dress shoes are nice and all, but wearing them for too long and wanting to get out of the is a pain she can sympathize with.

Kneeling down next to the bed, in front of where her shinki has plopped herself, Soleil uses both hands to take a hold of one of her feet. Her god power is shockingly good for something like this, and as she focuses on kneading out any tension Berserker might be holding in them, a calming aura seeps its way through her motions. Any muscle fatigue present will be gently washed away as Soleil works her thumbs over the other girl’s arches, between her toes, and up around her ankles. Nice.]

[In her life, Berserker was never touched this tenderly. Not even once. And though she obviously can't remember the details, she's always been filled with a sort of inexplicable longing for that kind of gentleness ever since her arrival in the Far Shore. So when Soleil gets started, her eyes go wide and she lets out an audible gasp at how good it feels.]

Ah...!

[Embarrassed at her own reaction, she bites her lip immediately after, but even that can't hide the relaxed moans of pleasure rumbling up from the back of her throat. Eventually she stops trying, succumbing fully to Soleil's power as the knots in her muscles come loose and the sensation spreads throughout her entire body. There are even some ticklish giggles as Soleil's fingers dip down between her toes.]

Heeeeeee...! Ahhhhh...

[Berserker's reactions are maybe, possibly, a little stronger than Soleil would have expected. Even so, she doesn't seem particularly surprised by it, more charmed than anything, and continues her work dutifully.]

Hmm, it's very nice, isn't it?

[Ahh, her shinki is so cute...!]

Mm, mm!

[Fully relaxed now, Berserker lets the tension out of her shoulders as well with a sigh, leaning back and just enjoying the massage. Wiggling her toes as Soleil works, she folds them down over her fingers at one point, squeezing gently.]

Ah...

[If Soleil looks, she's blushing pretty deeply.]

[As if she'd let the opportunity to see a sight like that pass her by.]

So cute...

[She definitely can't help but vocalize the thought this time, tightening her hold on Berserker's foot in response to the small squeeze. Leaning forward just a bit, she reaches down to plant a soft kiss to the top of her foot, very smooth, very gentle.]

[Berserker's eyes go as wide as dinner plates at that - both the compliment and the kiss. Her toes curl shyly, her head dipping a bit but unable to hide the huge smile on her face. And she's so caught up in the moment that a few rare words actually slip out.]

A-ah... I... l-love...

[Actual words are something she's come to appreciate as rare from her shinki, making them pretty unexpected for a moment like this. She blinks back her surprise - more at the act of the words themselves then the content, before leaning up a little bit, trying to get herself at a good angle to see Berserker's face.]

Hmm, what was that?

[She's fairly certain she heard it right, but there's a part of her that would really, really like to hear it again, a little clearer, a little more expected.]

[It's a bit of a struggle, but these are important words.]

Love... you...

[Her smile grows, and she nods excitedly.]

Mm! Love!

[And then she leans in to try to kiss Soleil.]

['Love'...! She said it! It's almost too much for Soleil's heart to take, but other than her face flushing and a brief moment where she has to stop herself form simply losing her composure, she keeps herself steady.]

'Love'... [She echoes the word with all the affection she has in her and reaches up with one hand to gently cradle her shinki's cheek, giving her a nice, direct path to meet Berserker's lips with her own.]
