Your name is Kankri Vantas and you are kissing.

To be precise, you are kissing Cronus Ampora. And he's liking it, so you're obviously doing somewhat good.

He pulls you down, next to him on the bed, kisses you harder, and you kiss back. He fumbles with your pants under your sweater, and you breathe in. Your breath hitches, you spread your legs a little more. "Do you..." you gasp, against his lips. "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course, darl." He drawls, moves his head down, starts kissing your neck, and...yeah, okay, your vow is out the fucking window. It's so out of the window it's probably going to knock some unsespecting bird out of the air and then you'll be arrested for animal cruelty.

Mind you, you're already handcuffed. (This was a recent development. Cronus appears to have a magic box his family don't know about.)

He bites down on your neck, making you very very glad you wear a turtleneck most days (oh shit you have swimming on Sundays you're screwed)) and you close your eyes and allow you to succumb to the sensations.

You pause.

CG: I kn9w ab9ut y9u and H9rus|

You sigh, and backspace it. You really don't want to stir up any drama right now. Not to her face, anyway.

Kankri: == Stop being Kankri and be Horuss instead.

You are now Horuss.

In fact, you were Horuss before you were Kankri. About half an hour, actually. Confused yet?

You're currently laying on your bed definitely not sulking when you hear your telecommunication device beep again.

You chuckle to yourself. You would have thought that surely Cronus would have checked before he sent it. Ah well.

This is obviously a thing you need to tell Porrim, at any rate. You're sure that she would appreciate the information.

You tap out a small message before you can change your mind.

"Meulin."

"Oh, Kankitty! Hello! Did you come to claw some ships?"

"I came to talk about our moirails, actually."

"Oh." She looks down sadly. "Mine hasn't been around lately."

"That's what I'm referring to. Meulin...I think our moirails may possibly be in a pale quadrant themselves."

"So...cheating on us?"

You (the you that is Kankri, that is) shut up for a second to think on this. It's a...very damning way to put it.

But you feel like being damning.

"Exactly."
