[ cyno can feel it in tighnari's stature, the slowly building tension that he's trying to ignore, but his body does not lie, and cyno is well-trained to notice physical changes in a person. rising pulse, flushed skin, the slightest tightness in his voice..
but this is tighnari's time, cyno will defer to whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. ]
I'd be more than happy to.
[ as if he needs to ask. cyno would pluck the sun from the sky from tighnari if only he asked it of him. humming, he presses a kiss between tighnari's ears, his thumbs sliding over the ridges of his knuckles. ]
[One of his ears flicks but he manages not to hit Cyno in the head with it this time. Instead he just sinks a little slower against the other man's chest and pins both of his ears back, tucking them against the sides of his head.]
I can't put my entire life on hold just because of a biological urge.
[It would drive him to distraction and no doubt Cyno knows that. He's not the kind of person who can just sit around doing nothing.]
Besides, you'll be with me. What do I have to worry about?
Well, no.. but taking some time to yourself to rest and recover - there's nothing wrong with that, either.
[ and cyno would be more than happy to retrieve whatever tighnari needs on his own, quickly and efficiently. but he knows tighnari, knows that he likes to feel capable and independent, and also knows that he can't be easily talked down once he's made up his mind about something.
so. they'll be going out later. cyno hums, and rests his chin between those folded ears. ]
But, all right, we'll go together whenever you're ready.
[They really could be as stubborn as each other but thankfully understood that level of stubbornness and that it simply can't be argued against. Admittedly, if Tighnari found he was not feeling up to it later, he would probably conceed that it wasn't a good idea for him to go anywhere after all.
Right now he just doesn't want to let this get in the way.
He stretches, pressing himself back against Cyno's warm body, and reaches one hand up to play with the other man's hair.]
Before that, though... I think we could both use a nap.
[ stubborn recognizes stubborn, indeed. they know one another well enough to know which battles are worth fighting, and which are not, and this one is not. if tighnari thinks he's up for going out, then he's up for going out - he knows his body, and his limits.
when those fingers curl into his hair, cyno closes his eyes and nudges his nose gently against tighnari's jaw. ]
[And going back to bed..? That's just going to make him want to be all over Cyno again and he does want to give the other man some chance to rest before that happens. There are some things he can do to keep himself occupied.]
I'm in the middle of some research I need to complete, that should be good enough.
[ oh, cyno just figured that this was going to be a whole marathon-sex-never-leave-the-bed sort of deal here; he's both relieved and disappointed to hear that it isn't.
but whatever tighnari wants and needs - that's what's important right now. cyno hums, still nuzzling his nose to tighnari's jaw, and presses a kiss there, before he's reaching for the latch to drain the tub. ]
