"You aren't going to tell me? Fine, be that way," Xanthe said, laying down with his back to the nymph. He squirmed a bit, trying to get comfortable, but gave up. "I'm going to sleep now, goodbye... Oh!" He exclaimed, eyes popping back open, after only a couple of seconds. He sat up quickly and almost hit his head on the roof of the cave. "You can touch me once I go to sleep, if you need to. My blood flow slows and my skins cools to a more moderate temperature. You'll be able to tell because it'll be duller." He pointed to the palm of his hand, where he'd grabbed Shafer's hair. "Like this but even duller, okay? Just don't actually touch my skin, only the cloth, and you'll be fine." He'd probably be fine touching his skin too, but Xanthe didn't want to take any chances with Shafer.

Shafer jolted in surprise when Xanthe moved so suddenly, giving his own sudden flurry of chaos as he squirmed back to avoid whatever it was he was about to do. He stared in intrigue and a bit of concernment as he tied the end of his braid with the leather tie he usually kept wrapped around his wrist. He furrowed his brow and gave a small shake of his head, too used to needing an excessive amount of body language to stop just because Xanthe could understand his words fine. "Okay, cool, awesome, but why would I need to touch you?"

(when the break started I was like... I hate breaks I just want to keep coming to school. And now I'm like... I hate school and never want to go back)
Xanthe was already laying back down and trying to get comfortable again. "Oh, you know. If you want to cuddle, or if you get cold. Or if you don't want your butt hanging out of the cave-mouth all night, trying not to touch me." He shrugged the best he could on the hard ground. "I'm just telling you when it'll be safe." He shut his eyes and willed the nymph to just lay down and be quiet, so they could both go to sleep and get this cursed night over with. It didn't help that Xanthe was used to sleeping by himself in a large, extremely comfortable bed. Not in on the hard floor of a tiny cave with a water nymph.

And just like that, Winnie's right side brain was way to interested in the idea of curses to let her left side brain keep her calm. "Oh my gosh, what did you do to anger a witch? That's who cursed you, right? There's very few people who can control curses and hexes, can it be broken? Why did they curse you? Were you the firstborn to a couple who stole from a witch? Did you, yourself try to steal from a witch?" She had to force herself to breathe here, or she would have begun that annoying thing where she started answering her own questions with any wild story her imagination could spin. If that began, she'd never end up hearing the little squirrels own answers.

I replaced school with work, I didn't even get much of a break and I know I'm whining but jesus))
Shafer was at a complete loss. Since when was this guy so okay with Shafer touching him, that whole concept didn't have the greatest track record. It would be hilarious if Shafer wasn't so confused and cautiously optimistic. "You're inviting me to cuddle with you? Xanthe..." He uttered his name like it was a bad word. He glanced from the dull embers, to Xanthe, to himself, and back again. Now that he knew he was allowed to, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to wait until the guy fell asleep. "You're so weird. You're just like an incredibly weird guy." He informed him as he crawled a bit closer and settled down mere centimetres from him.

IC Norman frowned, giving an annoyed huff. "Look, you don't need to know the details, just know I got cursed and now I'm Mr squirrel, okay? Now how about I take you back to the actual orphanage, so you can meet the others," he suggested, lashing his fluffy tail behind him. Norman did not want to get into specifics, especially not with some random girl.

"Just be quiet and go to sleep," Xanthe groaned. The nymph clearly didn't understand sarcasm. He heard Shafer lay down suspiciously close to his back."And watch yourself until I cool down or it'll hurt me too." He could practically hear what the nymph was thinking, and his cheeks flushed gold. This was never a good idea, I should've left him outside. I'm too nice.

Shafer adjusted his spot so he could rest his head on his arms and still see Xanthe. He smiled at him cheerily once he noticed the flush literally glowing on his demon's cheeks and nudged himself a bit closer. He looked good like that. "I don't think it'd hurt that much," he purred as he reached out with his free hand and skirted the tips of his fingers along the demon's torso.

(Hey guys, I'm home from school. Naughty, naughty Shafer)
Xanthe's eyes flashed open and he rolled quickly onto his back, turning his head to stare down Shafer. "On second thought, maybe you should go sleep outside," He whispered coolly, although he still blushed furiously. His glowing eyes had become duller- the poor demon really was tired, it'd been a long day. "Please wait until I'm asleep, and try not to assault me," He continued, his face only centimeters from the nymph's. It was extremely uncomfortable, really, without even touching. He couldn't understand why Shafer would choose to lay so close when Xanthe was still so warm.
(ACK sorry this post seems weird, this guy from school texted me in the middle of writing it and asked me out and I can't figure out if I'm gonna say yes LMAO)

Shafer snatched his hand back into his own personal space, though was still smiling like the brat he was. In reality, his pain tolerance probably wasn't much higher than Xanthe's. He couldn't be snuffed out by fire as easily as the other way around and he enjoyed warmth as much as anyone. So while it was only slightly insufferable, he was comfortable enough to really fill out his annoying potential. The nymph propped his head up on his elbow and stared shamelessly at the demon. "I don't think it's very fair to ask that of me," Shafer spoke smoothly and tried to sound as honest as possible, to freak him out as much as possible.
Asking each other out over text, this damn generation <3))

(I feel the same way, shanthe is #1 : ( I don't wanna be at a movie on friday night when I could be devoting my life to this rp)
Xanthe gave him one last glare before rolling back over. "I'm gonna shut my eyes and try to pretend you're not there-" He was cut off with a yawn. After that he kept his eyes closed, truly exhausted. But could still hear the nymph's breathing behind him- ew, does Shafer breath through gills all the time?. Trying to think about something else, anything else, Xanthe tried to imagine himself back at home, in his giant bed. Or in a lava bath- the most luxurious spa experience you can dream of. Soon enough his breathing slowed, and he began to drift off.

I can't believe you thought you could have a social life for a second there lmao nice try sweaty))
Shafer huffed loudly when the demon rolled over and put his back to him. If he knew anything at all, he'd know you weren't supposed to do that to a nymph. Sure, they weren't anywhere near water and Shafer had actually grown to enjoy his company but still. What he was not enjoying was the obvious lack of fear. He'd made himself too cute again. Shucks. He sighed heavily as he flopped over onto his back and stared at the roof of the cave. He missed his brother. God. "You're a mediocre replacement," he informed the demon, even though he was pretty sure he wasn't even awake anymore.

(well looks like Shafer is gonna have to wait on friday because Xanthe will be occupied from 7:40 to 10:30 central time)
Xanthe shifted, somewhere between thinking and dreaming. He was in a lava bath, luxuriously warm, but for some reason the lava-fall began pouring like water, and sounded like a waterfall too. The fire demon dipped his hands in and discovered that the pool had become a boiling hot spring, though the water didn't hurt him at all. He didn't have time to ponder this before he slipped off to deeper sleep. Soon his skin had cooled down, still warm but normally so.
(are we gonna skip? Unless you can think of anything exciting, Xanthe's just gonna sleep lmao)

(scream the laptop died while I was typing the post why does this computer hate me so much)
Xanthe drifted in and out of sleep, roused by the growing light. He felt so warm and comfortable that he didn't want to wake up- he wouldn't even open his eyes. It was better to stay in this dream world, rather than face whatever awaited him. He snuggled into the warmth and drifted off again... A while later, he awoke enough to become aware that the warmth wasn't from himself, it was covering him. Like a blanket, if blankets were people. Nmm, nice... Whatever it was, it felt good. And made him even drowsier. Finally, the sun fell right in his face and Xanthe couldn't cling to sleep anymore. He opened his eyes, squinting against the light, and tried to make sense of where he was. A cave... Oh, the cave and the water nymph, He remembered. He lay there for a minute, waiting for his body to start heating up, before he realized what the warm blanket was that clung to him- actually, he only realized because the warm blanket was now feeling a bit colder, and then it moved. The demon's half-closed eyes popped open and he pushed Shafer's arm off his waist, scrambling away from what had been the nymph's warm body- but now, in comparison to Xanthe's, was quite cool. His cheeks burned at the realization that Shafer had cuddled with him all night- how disgusting, how repulsive any fire demon would find that. Xanthe stared at the nymph, waiting to see if he had woken.

That sounds v frustrating and I'm sorry that happened to you))
Shafer was having a nice dream, filled with bright fish and unusually warm water and most importantly, his brother. Sasha was there and they were eating the aforementioned bright fish and talking. He didn't know what they were talking about, come to think of it, he couldn't even understand the other nymph because he was speaking English, but it was the sound of his voice regardless of what it was doing and Shafer was having a good time. But it didn't last very long at all. Because the next time he glanced up at his brother, he wasn't really his brother. He was pretty much just light. There were barely distinguishable features underneath the shine, but whoever was under there, it certainly wasn't his brother. Shafer woke up awkward and uncomfortable, with his arm feeling out of place and his heart pittering around his chest abnormally. "Wh--... Good morning." He greeted hazily as he lifted a hand to smooth over his face and wipe the sleep from his eyes. God, his throat felt dry.
