Are there any musicians here? It has been too long since I was able to enjoy a performance. I would like to hear a song from your world. If you will indulge me, I will share one from mine.

[If any of those musicians (or anyone else) happens to be around house #47, they might hear some quiet flute music from that house's porch. Sigmund is mostly just playing for himself, but if anyone stopped by to listen, he'd play louder for them. He's in an unusually good mood, barely even a hint of his usual morbidity or ill humor. What could possibly be causing that?]

(OOC: Sigmund's AU needs no linked explanation. He did not disappear in a blaze of idiotic glory. That's really all you need to know.)

[A touch! That's something, right? Something good! But she's still horribly confused, and as always, he's... not very good at explaining things. Damn.]

So what did you mean?

I'm not the man I was when you met me. [Seriously not, since he doesn't even know what she remembers him being like. Other than in bed with her, apparently. Unfortunately, he trails of, because he becomes somewhat distracted tracing her jaw with the back of his fingers. When he realizes what he's doing, he pulls his hand away and presses his lips together.]

As long as you realize that...

[She tries not to pout childishly when he pulls back his hand. The mixed messages are driving her crazy, and this is not what she expected. If it was Michelle, would he be protesting like this? Maybe she should have gotten a corset or something...

...Focus, Edwyna. He's talking. This is Important.]

I understand, my lord. But... I don't mind it. Even if you're different, I still- [...Come on, you can say it. You can say it!] ...I still love you.

[She loves him. He's trapped now, isn't he? Does he love her? ...No, not yet; but he's old enough to understand that love isn't always sudden and unexpected. He could love her, could see himself falling in love with her quite easily. His hand returns to what it was doing before, except this time brushing up across her cheek.]

I can only hope you aren't disappointed. [It's not exactly high romance, but it's something. It's a start.]

[She wants to laugh at that, and barely has enough self control to stop herself, concerned that he might misunderstand. Disappointed? He's never disappointed her. Surprised her on numerous occasions, yes, but... no, not disappointed. So she just smiles and leans into the touch, eyes closing.]

It's alright. I trust you.

[She trusts him. Ha. No pressure or anything. He reaches over to take her by the hand and tug on her fingers, trying to encourage her to join him on his chair.]

Come here...

[No pressure at all, bb. Immediately relieved, Edwyna rises to sit with him, leaning in close. She almost asks him if he's sure, but- well, she doesn't want to question him, because she's sure. And how could she ever make him do something he doesn't want to do?]

[Being asked if he's sure might be more than Sigmund's pride can take. New lovers are always nerve-wracking; but she's beautiful, and she's willing, and she loves him. He'd be lying if he said that some part of him didn't crave that kind of affection.

He buries his hands in her hair, doing some significant damage to her pretty hairstyle, and leans his forehead against hers.]

I like it better down.

[Edwyna smiles at that, lifting her hands to remove the pins from her hair, letting it cascade back down to her shoulders.]

I'll keep it down from now on for you, then.

[Her smile makes him smile, a bit shyly. He musses up her hair, and then leans in for a kiss. Only one way to be sure, right?]

[The hair fluffing makes her giggle a bit - she feels a little girly, but if there was ever a day to feel that way, today is it. The kiss is returned with no hesitation whatsoever, and she does her very best to make it a good one. This is what she's been waiting for all along.]

[After an uncertain start, Sigmund is leaning forward in a way that threatens to put them both on the floor shortly. Not that he'd mind, that's its own kind of fun. At the least, his enthusiasm should assure Edwyna that he's past the point of second thoughts. He has to come up for air at some point, though.]

What do you want of me?

[She reddens immediately at that, eyes widening, feeling suddenly flustered. I-is she too eager? Does she seem desperate or something? What's the right answer to that question? She leans back a bit to try and keep her coherency, not that it's helping much.]

Wh-whatever you want, my lord! It's not... I mean... what I want isn't important...

Re: [action]

[Sigmund catches her around the waist, so she doesn't actually take a tumble onto the floor. For his part, he's perfectly calm about that question. No reason to make a fuss.]

It matters to me.

I... think you already know what I want...

[After all that flirting and bravado, now she's turning into a shrinking violet? It would be disappointing if it wasn't so charming. He brushes her hair away and bends down to kiss her neck.]

And you shall have it.

[At least she's not refusing outright; that would be ridiculous. The neck kisses cause her to bend closer to him, her hair falling loose again and brushing over his own neck, while she slides a hand in to toy with one of his shirt buttons.]

Gladly, my lord.

[Sigmund chuckles quietly and rests his head on her shoulder. She's not going to get far that way, he's got his sword belt on over his shirts. He reaches between them to unfasten it for her, permission to continue if she wishes.]

One would hope.

[...Oh, whoops. She'd completely forgotten about his eight billion accessories - though at least his armor is out of the picture this time. With the belt out of the way, she goes back to working on his shirt, tugging free the buttons and revealing the upper part of his lunaglyph.]

I hope I'm not out of practice.

[He makes a face when she undoes his buttons, like he's bitten into something sour, and squirms in his seat a bit. He's not fond of that exposed feeling. To distract himself, he slides his hand up her thigh, slowly, questioningly.]

An easy problem to solve.

[His discomfort about the lunaglyph is lost on her as she bends her head to give his neck some attention instead, though her hands keep moving at his buttons. She shivers at the hand on her thigh - a mixture of nerves and anticipation - and murmurs encouragingly. That's nice.]

[That makes him shiver and squeeze her leg where his hand is resting. His other hand slides up her back. It may seem like an affectionate caress - well, it's that too - but he's also trying to stealthily figure out how this dress comes off.]

...We should...the bed.

[She does giggle softly at that, because- well. For all the hundreds and hundreds of years in his head, he sounded very much like a teenager just then.

So with one last teasing kiss, she slides off his lap, taking his hand and urging him up. If he needs help with the dress, she'll be happy to be of service.]

[He feels like a teenager. Perhaps not nervous and concerned about messing this up at any given moment, but still young. It's refreshing.

He follows her up, wrapping his arms around her waist. Maybe if he... What if it's supposed to... Finally he has to step back to arms' length and shake his head. There's a certain rare mirth to his expression, and to his voice.]

I don't... know how this dress works.

[Oh dear. She'd wondered if the dress would be troublesome, but it had been so pretty and Winry had seemed very insistent about it, so...

Well, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for her. Hopefully- she'd needed help getting into it, after all. She reaches up behind her, tapping at the center of her back until she grasps at a little flap of extra fabric covering the ties holding the dress together.]

Can you untie that part? It should slide off with just that.
