[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Selina Parcellus]

Tomeal was really enjoying some time alone with Selina.  Normally they might be able to slip away from the group to find a cozy corner of a tavern to get to know each other.  But since they arrived in this world the group has been practically on top of one another.  Tomeal liked everyone in the group.  He just wished this situation was a little more normal.  

Grateful for the extra hour spent with Selina, he reluctantly states, it's time call the next watch.  He stands and help's Selina to her feet.  When their eyes meet Tomeal tilts his head down and gives her a soft but passionate kiss.

Crozar and Simon are woken up gently for their turn on watch.  Simon thanks Tomeal and Selina then takes a position near the mouth of the cave.  When Cozar asks him about the Torque, he'll attempt to explain it as quietly and as simply as he can.  As for his sensor device, he explains that it's not all that difficult.  Each light meter determines the type, level and intensity of Torque energy.  The device can also detect Elemental Energy, Spiritual Energy, Possible energy, Torque Energy, as well as Crisis Energy - Which is an exciting new Unified Field Theory.  

Nothing further happens through the night.  

In the morning, everyone is awakened.

Selina was most certainly glad to be able to spend some quiet quality time with the brave warrior.  In addition to the group constantly being 'on top of each other', Selina would add the complaint that they were constantly on-guard and near-constantly under duress or some sort of stressful situation.  It was wonderful, the chance to finally have some qui-...

Her eyes snap open in surprise as Tomeal pulls her in gently for a kiss.  So...this must have been what he was feeling when I did it to him.  Now I understand.  She smiles through it, wrapping her arms around him, accepting it.  When the two disengage, she is blushing fiercely, but the smile is still there.  Then waves a hand to fan herself, letting out a heated breath.  "I only wish we had an inn to rest a bit more securely.  Perhaps I should pray for it.  We still need to get home though, so that is what I'm praying for."  As they wake up the next shift, she smiles again and beds down...with Tomeal if he wishes.
