Percy~

What are you doing, right now?

[alignmyheart]

Nothing terribly important.
What do you need, my love?

[vex]

Oh, just a second opinion.

Do you like this one, or the last one?

[ Enclosed? Two snaps of her new wardrobe, thanks to Percy. One's a rather conservative look, the other is the same look with a peek into his shirt, showcasing a lacy number slipped into the gift. ]

[alignmyheart]

[Percy, perhaps, takes a moment longer to answer than he usually would.]

Is that new?

[He recognizes his shirt, which only--well. He's always rather liked seeing Vex wearing articles from his side wardrobe. But the lace beneath it? That makes his pulse jump a little.]

[vex]

[ Vex sends another picture, the shirt open entirely now. ]

Mmhmm. Courtesy of you, so I've been told.

[alignmyheart]

Yes, I thought you really did deserve your own clothes...

[Oh. Oh.]

I don't think I recall seeing anything like that in your wardrobe from home, though.

[vex]

I know.

I found it. Slipped in between a few outfits.

So it wasn't your idea then?

[alignmyheart]

Sadly I cannot take full credit for that particular article

But I can certainly appreciate its inclusion

[vex]

So you like the second one the best, then?

[ Asked innocently, of course. With another picture. This one's blatantly nsfw, her bottom lip between her teeth, hemlines pulled as far as they can go without being truly explicit. ]

I thought you might.

[alignmyheart]

Preference would be to have a closer look, but if I must only choose between pictures...

The most recent one is terribly flattering.

[She has his undivided attention]

[vex]

I can imagine.

I'll see about that closer look, I just wanted your advice before I catch you in it when you least expect it.

[ You can HEAR the wink. ]

[alignmyheart]

You're an absolute minx, my darling.

And I love you.

[There's a pause, and then:]

... Were there any other surprises?

[vex]

I love you too. ♥

Hm? Like what? Expecting something?

[ She's up to no good already, it's palpable even in her text. ]

[alignmyheart]

I was expecting things from home, is all.
Though I should have known the Augur might... add its own twist on things.

[vex]

Oh!! There are a few things, actually, from home. Not exactly anything beyond utility for me, though.

[ Like her armor. No big deal, she thinks, it shouldn't be a huge problem, right? She hasn't needed it yet--- ]

I think they might be finished with taunting me, after my last boon, thankfully, if that's what you mean.

[alignmyheart]

[Her previous texts have him anticipating, and every time she sends a message through, he's quick to look. Percy has been neither here nor there about these devices, but... Vex is making him appreciate them.]

I suppose I really should word my requests more carefully.

But as long as there aren't any unpleasant surprises, then I shall be grateful that you are no longer limited to the clothes I can spare.

[Even if he will continue to have rather warm feelings every time he sees Vex in his shirts. Now she just has more to choose from.]

[vex]

I am honestly thinking the same.

As nice as it is to have things from home, useful ones, I'd prefer. Rather than disconcerting ones.

[ Oh, here's that other picture. This time a riding coat, it looks like, and a matching set of garter and stockings. Her bust is almost comical---she looks nearly sewn into it. ]

I think this one's my favorite so far. I'm not complaining too much about the bust, but. I think I'll have to borrow another shirt should I wear it anywhere proper.

Maybe I'll ask for boots, next go around.

[alignmyheart]

[Oh. That--that is a look. Percy looks at the picture for quite a while, aware that texts are continuing to come through but utterly distracted by the way the clothes fit her. And the flash of skin at the top of her thighs.]

You look stunning, my love.

[The only advantage to texting is that it gives him a few seconds to compose himself before he attempts any responses. But he looks at the picture again, gaze lingering this time on the fabric tight against her bust.]

Of course, we'll be certain to get you some, one way or another.

Perhaps the Augur didn't want you getting too powerful.

[He's teasing. Also: far too late for that.]

[vex]

That one took a minute now didn't it.

[ VEX PLS ]

Mm, no, perhaps not. I think I'll save this one for a special occasion then.

[alignmyheart]

[Vex, please.]

You can hardly blame me for taking a moment to appreciate your effort.

I look forward to finding out what occasion you deem special enough.
I think I do agree, though. It needs boots.
Heels would make it easier to stand over me once I'm on my knees.

[You started it, darling.]

[vex]

[ This brilliant, fantastic, amazing, smart, sarcastic, stunning and amazing frustrating--- ]

I think I'd like to see you in a tie.

A long one, not your usual.

[ She's going somewhere with this. ]

[alignmyheart]

[And he is eager to follow her.]

I think I know what you mean in terms of style.

And I have to imagine you might find some utility in something you could wrap around your hand.

[vex]

[ Her smile is so audible even in her text that she would be amazed if he can't hear it from the other room. ]

I might.

I was just imagining it would be easier to hold you where you're at, if it were a bit longer.

It'd be a gamble to throw my leg over your shoulder, after all.

What are you doing, you didn't say.

[alignmyheart]

And I certainly wouldn't want you to gamble when you have a sure thing.

[Two can play this game, but Percy still thinks he might be losing.]

A bit of light reading, that's all.

[vex]

While it's a bit of a mood killer to suggest as much, me wearing any kind of heel since Vesper has been a gamble; and I'm not tempting fate to lose my balance anywhere near where you (especially a half naked you) might be in the way.

Light reading?

Hmm. Where, may I ask?
