Nevin slowly stroked her hair, doing level best not to react to the fact that her face was in his lap. He thought he did an admirable job of it, managing to keep from racing too much to the sudden pleasant pressure. This was helped by what happened shortly after she fell asleep though.
Those red tentacles, crackling with black light, slipped from beneath her skin again, and once more began roving across him body. They created strange aftershocks whenever they touched, and the man wasn't sure if they were pleasant or not. He did begin to grow alarmed though when then began to coil around his shoulders and the back of his head, locking him in place.
Nevin started to struggled against this, only to freeze when his... Whatever Eteri was to him now, began to smoothly crawl up his body, dragging herself forwards, her body pulling itself up, dragging against his chest. Nevin could see that what was moving her was actually the tentacles, pulling the body up with their hold on him. When Eteri's face was level with his, her eyes snapped open, to red orbs that matched his far too closely.
"Let's unite and do terrible things once more. Destroy that which lives and embrace in the fierey pits of hell" the voice was not Eteri's, and the grasp of Trades peak was far cleaner than she normally managed. With a hungry gleam, notEteri lunged forward, latching her lips onto Nevin's and kissing him fiercely, before going limp and falling away. Nevin gasped as Eteri collapsed against him, the tentacles vanishing.
"Crimson. How much away does that part of that thing hold on you?" His words fell on deaf ears - Eteri was sound asleep once more.
