Nevin slowly, steadily, ran his hands across Eteri’s form, his touch firm and just a bit rough. She was cradled in his lap, her back pressed up against his chest as he leaned his head forward, gently nipping on her furry ear. One hand slowly began running its fingers along the hem of her skirt, just barely teasing his fingertips beneath it. The soft weight of her ass wriggling about in his lap was driving the alchemist wild, and it was quite difficult for him to focus on anything but her.

“My dear, stop moving about like that or I'm going to rip your clothes off.” He growled out. They needed to - the body needed to be dealt with. Otherwise it would start to stink up the place.

He heard her huff, mumbling “you started it…” In her grumpy voice as she slid off of him. His hand caught her tail, squeezing it as she left his embrace, tempting and teasing her. She turned around and gave him an attempt at a glare, her cheeks puffed and eyebrows furrowed. Lips jutted out. Freckles of blood dotting her face. He grinned and wiggled his fingers at her as her fur bristled. Then he stood up - shifting his pants slightly as the front tented up.

“Alright. My workshop should have the necessary stuff to process the corpse. We can move it into there until I have the time to render it down for disposal.” His voice was rough and his eyes were rather hungry as he smirked at his girlfriend.

She looked up at him, her head tilted as her annoyance turned to confusion. “Oh… if you is doing that can Eteri go outside for tiny bit?” He raised an eyebrow and hummed in thought. It might on one hand - he really didn't want her to leave, and had been intending on just throwing the corpse into a freezer locker until he had spare time to deal with it. On the other hand, he could get the body processed, and then take Eteri to bed. Either way…

“Be back in roughly half an hour, dear?” He raised an eyebrow. That should give him enough time. Eteri nodded and pushed herself off the floor, she straightened her bloodstained clothes and gave him a kiss on the cheek - only to be caught, and pulled back in for a much firmer, deeper kiss. Nevin finally let her go and stared into her eyes for a moment. “Be safe, dear.” He wasn't quite comfortable with letting her go out on her own, but - he needed to trust her, and trust in her ability to keep herself safe.

After she had left, the Alchemist sighed. He was definitely less happy without her around. And without her here, he could actually focus on the problem. The problem being.. Eteri had killed a man. With no apparent qualms. That wasn't the real problem though - Nevin had done it often enough himself, his hands had their own share of ‘blood’ upon them. It was more that - the body was here, in his shop. Or rather, in his house which was attached to his shop, and he didn't need someone accidentally seeing it and causing a panic. At least here, he could render it down into less recognizable parts. While not as effective as a butcher’s shop might be, he could still process the body - he was, after all, an Alchemist, and taking a corpse and turning it into useful ingredients was something he was very used to doing. Usually this was in regards to animal carcasses but… Well. In the end, humans were animals too. So he lifted the body up, and carried it into his workshop to begin the rather morbid process of cutting it apart.

There was a series of bangs and crashes as Eteri returned. Nevin came out of his workshop and his eyebrows shot as she quite literally arrived with an unconscious man behind her. Dragging him very awkwardly and with great difficulty by his left boot. The alchemist hurriedly locked the door behind his girlfriend, then turned and folded his arms over his chest, leveling a steady gaze onto the small woman. “Dare I ask what happened.” His voice was flat as he tapped his foot. He'd been working for a while to take care of disposing of the erstwhile thief, and had been looking forward to relieving some stress with the woman he loved. And instead, she had come back with another individual - this one still groaning, unconscious, but not dead, yet.

“Nevin said you needed someone living. Here.” Eteri quite proudly dropped the man onto the floor with a heavy thunk. “Is for you.” She stepped on his back, over him then approached Nevin as she wrapped her arms around him, nuzzling her face into him. “Found drunk man in ally. Not important. Right?”

The alchemist closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around his lover’s waist. He drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly, letting it wash over the top of Eteri’s hair. “I… my Eteri. Thank you for trying.” He chuckled softly, and shook his head. “I.. Won't do this on a random person. The man you found - while he is drunk right now, when he's sober, he might be a husband, a father. He didn't attack you, or me, so, I don't view him as deserving of death.” His arms tightened around her waist.

“We know a few more vile individuals, people who seem to think hurting others is OK. When we find them - they are the ones that are OK. We’ll return this poor lost soul to the streets, I think.” Nevin kissed the top of her head.

Her ears flattened against her head. “Was...not good enough?” Her voice warbled and Nevin could tell she was upset. She drew away from him, her head lowered as her bangs hid her hair. She turned from him and kneeled down to prod the man.

“No - no, love that isn't it at all.” Nevin knelt behind her and held her shoulders. “Eteri. You - you do know, how I became what I am, right?” The alchemist didn't know if he had ever actually told his lover exactly what had happened, to make him what he now was.
