*Battletech: Planet's Fall

"You've read too many medieval fantasy stories Klaus." She nudges her shoulder into him with an abashed smile. "How about we enjoy the trip up? I'd say we're about halfway up now. Torutovy's getting smaller, isn't it?"

Tessa leans into Klaus slightly.

"Is your homeworld similar to this?"

Tessa only interjected when there was a pause. "I can't imagine..." Klaus' prior life was very, very different to her own. She gives his hand a squeeze as she listened on. "Does it... matter... erm, what normal is?" She asks before covering her mouth. "I shouldn't answer a question with a question. ...

She pecks back shyly, but that's it. She's much too embarrassed for anything more! "I can't believe you're younger than me." Tessa bemoans. She fiddles more. "I'm really out of practice here. I... I don't have much relationship experience. I only dated a few guys in high school, one at university an...

"No, I, what?" She turns red awfully quickly. "Oh gosh... I'm... so sorry. " Letting go of Klaus' hand, she covers her mouth. She felt mortified. "I was flirting but I wasn't trying to, erm, show anything on purpose!" She fidgets her hands together, looking down. "Does that count as my embarrassing ...

"You're only embarrassing me there Klaus." Tessa replies with a little pink to her cheeks. "But you're not the first to assume I'm a secretary. Truth be told I've played the role a few times, when it's convenient. Erm, I have told Eric a few times that he needs a personal assistant though. Oh, I'm h...

"Hmm~ I'll have to be the judge of that." She responds in mirth, stepping in and taking a seat. "So, are you going to tell me or do I have to tickle it out of you?" Tessa crosses her arms, lifting a single eyebrow to strike a pose. "Or perhaps you just wanted to be tickled all along. Who can say wit...

"Now that leaves me torn; should I thank you for the compliment or for giving me a chance to wear this?" She flashes a cheeky smile at him. "Maybe both, oui?" The humble comment meets a shake of her head. "I'm enjoying it. Stop worrying." She gives his arm a squeeze as they wait to board. "What's on...

"Thanks. The other's on the side. They're both fresh so pick whichever for when we're done." Tessa says to Yoko as she tilts her head to get her hair wet. She was behind the yellow shower curtain, but her silhouette was very visible.

Shutting the bathroom door behind Yoko, Tessa sighs and claps her cheeks. She checks herself in the mirror before tugging off her pyjamas. Her underwear follows. She makes a neat pile atop the toilet seat and then she heads to the shower to get it to a good temperature. When it was quite warm, but n...

"Mhm." She waits a moment so Yoko can have her sniff. Then she pushes her side to nudge her toward the door. "You can sniff it more outside. Get an extra towel."

Except Tessa was very much not looking Yoko's way at first. She even offered the body wash over her shoulder as she looks ahead. "Erm..." She blushes more at Yoko's words, her ears turning red, but she gives the offer some consideration. She did need to shower and a proper back scrub would be nice. ...

"Yes, but, well, it's... it's different." She picks out the matcha shower gel. "They've been shared showers and they've not been with anyone so... stunning. You're very attractive." Tessa goes on to say. "It's a little overwhelming. I mean, I'm straight, but you're... distracting."

Her blush dramatically intensifies. "Erm!" She squeaks. "I mean, er, that might be a bit..." She laughs nervously.

Yoko's presence was continuing to keep Tessa's face warm. "Erm, I don't mind. Take your time. The water heating is better for the officers' rooms... I can have a quick one afterwards." She says, moving over to her racks of toiletries and busying herself searching for the matcha body wash she had. Sh...

"Matcha? I think there's something like that in there, but it'll be at the back."

Tessa gets up, once again trying not to look at Yoko so as to be polite, making her way over to her shower-toilet door. "I'll try to find it."

Tessa also couldn't help realising this. The evidence was undeniable and right in front of herself. She was blushing as she politely found a spot on the wall to pay attention to. "R-right? Erm, me either, so that's why I stock up. It's normal for mercenary work." She peeked back at Yoko. It wasn't a...

"On the desk is fine."

Tessa gives Yoko a little finger wave.

"The verbena shower gel and the blossom extract shampoo are my current favourites, but try whatever catches your eye."

Tessa giggles a little more. "Aww, you don't need to worry about stuff like that. Besides, you could just carry around a pistol instead. Then again, if that means you won't be so sweet in the morning then I might deny your purchase order." She briefly pokes out her tongue teasingly. Patting Yoko's b...

"D'aww, I like you too Yoko." She rubs the other woman's shoulder comfortingly. "You make me smile and laugh. I really have to get you and Laks together. We'd all have the best time." She giggles and hugs Yoko tighter. "I'm not in a rush. I'll pamper you a bit longer. My bath stuff isn't going to go...

Giggling, Tessa gently runs her hand through Yoko's hair a few times. "You look pretty happy."
