[ their faces are indeed so close, and well, Jen knows what happened the last time...

so that's why she's angling herself a bit more to the side now, mouth closer to Vera's ear. ] I warned you~. [ and then she immediately just. let all her weight forward, as if her legs and arm gave out. she's going to end up plopped right on top of Vera with her face in the pillow unless the shorter girl somehow deflects her. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[And deflect she does, as the taller blonde finds herself flopping onto a glyph hovering between the two, the mogul giving a deadpan glare.]

[burndownforwhat]

[ that's very weird; hitting something in mid-air that's solid but doesn't so much as look it. Jen is momentarily surprised, then irked, then just laughs it off. ] Oh my god. Fine! You win.

[ she uses the glyph to push herself up with one arm up onto her knees. then Jen just sort of shimmies over a few feet and flops around onto her back. she shouldn't be this comfortable doing so topless but, in the end, modesty is for people who can cover up and still move while doing so. not for her. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[She smirks triumphantly, giving off a self-satisfied chuckle. You didn't think they would talk about Semblances all night without Vera using her own, did you? Clearly the student has much to learn from the master.

Not that any of this is keeping the smaller girl from worming her way over to Jen's side and curling up against her.]

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen scoots down under the sheets and pulls them up, but not the comforter. she looks down at what Vera was trying to do, too, and just sort of sighed quietly.

then she rolled over onto her right side, in effect giving Vera the cold shoulder. just go and try to be the big spoon. she dares it. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[Okay, look, she really wants to try, but it's really hard to do anything to her back without getting a mouthful of hair. Seriously, are you part bush?]

Hey... [She whines into the blonde's shoulder.] Roll over and talk to me.

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen's hair is less unruly thanks to the ponytail but there's just... so much of it. it's understandable. she does peek her face over her shoulder though, catching that look out of the corner of her eye. ] Hm? I thought you were tired.

[heiroglyphs]

It doesn't take that much energy to talk...

[But Jen clearly isn't interested in the cute little lady behind her after they just had the most intimate experience one can have. She scoots to the other side of the bed, turning away and crossing her arms.]

[burndownforwhat]

[ she doesn't have any reason to actually turn Vera away, but it already happened before she could make up her mind to the contrary. when Jen turns over and sees Vera like that she actually sounds... deeply apologetic. ] Mmn, you're right. [ she tucks her arm under the pillow and scoots a bit closer. the stump does a good job of pinning the sheet in place to avoid providing a distraction. ] What's on your mind?

[heiroglyphs]

[Vera wants so badly to pout and sass about how now she wants to talk, but honestly she's just too tired to fight anymore. Slowly, she turns to face Jen, blue eyes struggling to stay open, but nonetheless locked on the taller girl.]

I just... wanted to know if you felt me. Back there, I mean. Did you know I was there?

[burndownforwhat]

I think so. [ Jen nodded softly, her gaze askance for a moment. ] I mean, I definitely did, I just. I can't really describe it in words. I've never felt anything like that before. [ she rolled her right shoulder. ] Even... where I expected to feel nothing.

[heiroglyphs]

I don't think any kind of damage to your body could remove a piece of your soul.

[She worms a little closer.] There was just... so much happening at once, I wasn't sure what was real and what wasn't.

[burndownforwhat]

I'm sure it was all real. [ Jen furrowed her brow. ] Though, now that you said that... I guess the question is. Was that my soul, or... is there even a difference anymore?

[heiroglyphs]

[She knows exactly what she means. It's a question she's struggled with for at least a year by now. Are she and Weiss the same person? Is she Weiss's reincarnation? How much of her is Weiss? If Weiss keeps coming back, how much of her will be left?]

I... don't want to talk about that.

[burndownforwhat]

Okay. Sorry. [ she genuinely was. being so tired wasn't the best of times to discuss something like this. but she'll definitely keep thinking about it because, well, how could she not at this point? ] Thank you, though. For everything.

[heiroglyphs]

...You don't have to thank me. I wanted to do this.

[burndownforwhat]

Oh no. [ she reached up to poke Vera's nose. or chin, if she flinched. ] I'm going to be grateful to you, and you're just going to have to deal with it, sleepyhead.

[heiroglyphs]

[And flinch she does, but her expression softens when Jen taps her chin.]

Fine. [She exhales through her nose.] You can find a way to pay me back for it, then.

[burndownforwhat]

[ satisfied, she returned her hand to its place under the pillow and smiled smugly. ] For this? Just name it. I owe you, bigtime.

[heiroglyphs]

I'll just hold on to that, I'm sure I'll need a favor at some point.

[Did that sound ominous? She didn't really mean it to.]

Does your body still feel really hot? You're not glowing anymore.

[burndownforwhat]

[ just a little. it's Vera after all. softened edges aside she still has that sharp mind and personality far as Jen knows.

as for the question... she looks confused a moment. ] Oh! That? That wore off a while ago. Now I feel. Mm. It's a little more like how your muscles feel after a really good workout. I'm probably going to be sore as heck in the morning.

[ quite the opposite, actually. ]

[heiroglyphs]

Mn... I feel like I just ran a marathon.

[Or at least she imagines what that's like. You'd be hard-pressed to get her near a treadmill, let alone actual distance running.]

But, um... is your skin still warmer than before?

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen holds back her quip on that first point. ]

Hm. You'd have to check. I can't really tell. [ it's a bit warm but not, like, feverish. like just before the point she ought to be sweating the heat off. ]

[heiroglyphs]

...Can I?

[burndownforwhat]

I don't see why not. Sure. [ it's not like Vera's going to do anything weird with it. right? ]
