[as she touches him, she may notice there's still something odd about his shoulders--like there are little ridges, or bumps, under his shirt]
... I dreamt of you. Did you dream of me?
... I dreamt of you. Did you dream of me?
[ HNNNNNNG. ]
...if and when I have pleasant dreams, [ she turns her head to kiss his cheek. ] you’re there, Raven. [ smiles, just content to hold him for another couple of minutes. ]
[ but then she’s stepping back to look him over once again, her eyes combing over his “new” body. arches a brow at him, face stern. ] And why can’t you tell me? Don’t you trust me to keep a secret?

[the notches on his shoulders are hard to notice if you're not looking for them specifically, but his tattoos--which are all present now--seem to be... moving slightly?]
That's not it. I can tell you only a little. I'll be in a lot of trouble if I let slip the details.
[but he can tell her the basics, at least]
I contacted a demon, and we made an arrangement.

How so?
[ ...she immediately goes pale. ] W- What?! Why! We had a number of other avenues we could have tried. Why would you make a deal with the devil?
[ smushes a hand straight into her face and heaves a deep breath. ] That’s stupid and dangerous a- and... and...

... and it worked. I thought it was the best possible option, and I was running out of time.
...and now you belong to this stupid demon. Did you really have little to no faith in everything else? [ sighs, defeated. ] ...who? Which one?
[it hurts because none of it is true, but it's the facade he has to keep up]
I admit that I was desperate, and I wasn't going to wait for more of my body to fall apart. I'm sorry... I didn't reach out. I was... scared.

[ she combs her fingers through her hair, pressing more firmly a few seconds in and dragging her sharp nails along her scalp. ]
I... I get feeling scared and helpless, but this is, god, it might seem good now, but it’s bad. I wish we could have talked before you decided to do this. All of these damn demons are using us.

[he lowers his eyes, quiet for a while, before taking a deep breath and letting it out]
I didn't contact a demon. It's just the cover story for what really happened. Glory found a way to heal my body, but couldn't tell me how. She came back this morning with a bead and I swallowed it, and it worked.
Please... don't tell anyone the truth.

TBH, I'm not sure. I bet it's some kind of demonic teleportion, but it can't move real life, so we have to take the ol' fashioned way. [ she offers ren a hand and leads her toward the balcony. ]
It sounds like she might have done the contacting... but I guess it doesn't matter, because, like you said, it helped, and... things had been kind of... dire. [ she reaches out to him and tugs him close. ] I'll keep it to myself, not to worry. But... thank you for trusting me. [ swallows. ] I just have a thing... with demons and contracts and... [ shivers. ] I just don't want to see what's happening to me happening to you, t- that's all.
[leans down and kisses her forehead]
I understand. It's just... a delicate situation. As far as anyone knows, I promised a demon to do tasks for them in exchange for healing me. Although... it did come with a few additions.

...so, like, that' part is all part of the lie? [ she sets a hand on his shoulder and runs it along his arms. ] Like the tattoos? I noticed they... move...
[the tattoos follow her touch, leaving swirling, rippling patterns in the wake of her fingers]
That's not the only thing.
[he flicks out his tongue, which is muuuuuuch longer and forked at the end, like a serpent's tongue]

D-demonic...?
[Not that it matters. She's pretty demonic herself - what with the wings, horns, and tail.]
Oh. [Taking her hand and following towards he balcony.]
I think I get it.

... [ so pretty. ] Oh? [ blinks, cheeks flushing at the tongue, and she chokes on whatever the hell she had been about to say. ]
Have you put that to use yet?
[ ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, OK. ]
[ ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, OK. ]
It's a bunch of dates then. [ winks. ] Anyway why don't you tell me what you've been up to and how you and Lancelot because something of a thing?
Teh usual. Went and met some of the newbies.
It was the hotel.
[ He feels like that would explain everything and nothing at the same time, ]

I managed to eat breakfast without biting it, which took some effort.
[being deliberately cheeky]
[being deliberately cheeky]
Not what I meant and you know it. [ sets a hand on his shoulder and starts walking him back toward her bed. ]
Have you noticed any other changes? Or are these two it?

[ aaaand she's going to drag ren straight off the balcony. LOL. it's time to free fall for a bit, though she'll henshin and drag ren into her arms long before they're going to hit the ground. ]
[ she lands, clutching her closely, making a small crater as she kicks up a bunch of dust and debris. ]
Much more fun than the elevator, yeah?

[She had no time to be scared before she was in her arms and the air was whipping around them. Between that and the fall she felt like her heart was going to burst out of her chest. Before she knew it she was clinging onto her, burying her face into Dva’s shoulder.]
Y-yeah. It surprised me.
[She certainly wasn’t afraid of heights or the jump. It was being embraced that was throwing her off. It takes her a minute to actually let go but before that she absorbs the fact that she’s hugging her in return and she can hear Dva’s pulse so close and steady.]
Ah, sorry just- [She needed that minute and then immediately tried to put a little distance between them but not outside of her embrace.]
Do you travel like that a lot?
[She was staring at her in awe a bit, a small smile opening up on her face. The adrenaline was still hitting her a bit.]
