[Never again. If their little jaunts out onto this planet without one another have taught the pair anything it was that the world fell apart when they weren't together. Lup has no plans on leaving Taako alone again. Ever.

Good luck dating while she's around.

Lup's long legs twine with his as her head hits the pillow, wrapping her twin up while he explains himself a little further. Whatever happened was bad enough to shake Taako, so she's here to hold him together until he feels strong enough to take back over.

Though there's no hiding the way her grip around the man tightens at the mention of him forgetting again. Forgetting her.]

Shit. That's fucked, 'Ko. [Her chin tips forward, face nuzzling affectionately into his hair, letting his familiar smell and warmth keep Lup steady.] But I'm tryin' to hit that, so can you keep your magic off that sweet denim-clad ass? It's been actual months since I've got laid. Don't do me dirty when I'm so close to the promised land.

[But even as she teases to try and lift the tense mood lingering so heavily in their room, one of Lup's hands finds Taako's, pressing her palm against his, curling their fingers together. Her voice drops to a whisper, words meant for only him.]

I'd never let that happen again, Taako. You know that. Lucretia isn't here and no one is ever gonna touch you. 'Specially not her. [Lup presses a quick kiss against his temple, falling into a brief silence, before she's pulling away just enough to angle herself so she can see his face. There's something there, twin intuition, that she can feel just beneath the surface, something more.]

But that's not what's eating you up, is it?
