Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:04 pmOnyx walks up behind Will, "...Ma'am?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:06 pm"Onyx? Oh, um, hi there," Will said, frowning almost undetectably.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:06 pm"Hello," Onyx says, "How have you been?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:07 pm"I've....been. And yourself?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:19 pm"I'm fine, ma'am," Onyx says.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:20 pm"I'm glad to hear it. All settled in, getting into a routine and all? That's fantastic news."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:26 pmOnyx nods, "Yes, ma'am. Thanks to your help."
"Are you alright? You don't look well."

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:28 pm"It's been a rough few days, but I'll get over it."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:28 pmOnyx nods, "Do you need any help, ma'am?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:30 pm"I'm not the one who's gonna be needing help. You've basically gotta replace me for Sara. She'll need a warm hand..."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:56 pm"I can take care of my Mistress, ma'am," Onyx says, "But that doesn't mean I can't make sure you're taken care of as well."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:58 pm"That's awfully nice of you, Onyx, but you do know I won't be marrying her anymore, right? I'm not gonna end up...inheriting you or whatever."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:13 pm"Neither of my Mistresses have informed me that I can't care for you," Onyx says, "I believe it's up to me, ma'am."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:16 pm"...you care for me? I mean, for real, and not because you're supposed to?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:58 pm"Of course," Onyx says, "You're my friend, ma'am."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:13 pmWill turned, broke into a huge smile, and hugged Onyx.
"Thank you. That means a lot, coming from you."

Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:39 pm"You're welcome, ma'am."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:42 pmWill held the hug for a little, then released with a sigh. "I hope she won't mind that. Being dismissed kinda sucks."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:14 pm"It would be unfortunate," Onyx says, "But I don't think she's that sort of Mistress."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:16 pm"I meant me," she chuckled, humorlessly. "Still, it's likely for the best."

Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:12 am"Why do you think that?"
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:18 am"If it wasn't gonna work; if I'm just gonna make her life harder, better to find out now then after we're married.
Better to find out before she's pregnant, but..."

Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:30 am"It hurts me, because I still...
Well, I'm just causing her pain. That's the last thing I want to do. I think...between the two of you, you can handle it. Right? You can take care of her..."

Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:55 am"Absolutely, ma'am."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:57 am"I'm counting on you, you know. You two'll do great without me interfering. And with the extra cash, you'll be able to set everything up nicely. Really, it's for the best."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:59 am"I won't fail you, ma'am."
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:00 am"Thanks. It makes it a lot easier with you around. Lucky break.
Um...this is kinda weird, but there's something I want you to hold for Sara...eventually she'll be really down and out and need something to pick her up..."

Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:02 am"I'll take care of it, ma'am," Onyx says, looking eager to please.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:03 amWill, hesitantly, cupped Onyx's chin...and then kissed her slowly.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:04 amWithout hesitation, Onyx kisses back.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:05 amWill brought her other hand up, pulling Onyx a little closer.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:06 amOnyx kisses Will eagerly, moving in very close at Will's touch.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:07 amWill pulls back for a second. "That one was for Sara. Make sure she gets it.
And this one....is a thank you," she added, leaning back in.

Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:10 am"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says quietly, leaning forward slightly but letting Will decide the pace.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:11 amThe second kiss is a little less forceful, more exploratory, as she brings one hand down Onyx's back.
Re: Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:13 amOnyx seems to melt into Will's arms, kissing her softly but passionately.
