Hey, it's Minako! Got a message for me? Drop a line and I'll be right with you!

[faithfulflame]

Of course, beloved.

[Flustered Minako is a cute Minako. Rei nods and turns around, sitting comfortably in Minako's lap. She straightens her back and tilts her head up so her dark hair spills down into easy reach.]

But do please continue rubbing my scalp. That feels...very nice.

[hearted]

[Minako is very proud of her plan indeed. She takes her sweet time caring for Rei's hair, enjoying that wonderful feeling through her fingers...but eventually she makes good on her promise to loosely braid it up.]

If only we had the hand mirror...but I can tell you you look stunning.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei doesn't have one, and were this any other evening, she probably wouldn't trust Minako to do this. But...she knows she's got her partner worked up, and that means she's not going to do anything to jeopardize the evening...right?]

I'll take your word for it. Would you like me to do something with yours?

[hearted]

[She considers it for half a second, then nods, dramatically untying the red ribbon. She lets it drop with a little sigh.]

Please?

[faithfulflame]

Absolutely. Swap places with me, love.

[Rei slides off onto the couch and sets her self for Minako's inevitably dramatic flop onto her legs...]

[hearted]

[Minako obliges with a soft noise of contentment, brushing past her bangs to beam up at her.]

Nothing too silly now, you hear?

[faithfulflame]

Me? Silly?

[It's said with affection and mock offense.]

I won't give you odango hair, if that's what you're worried about. There's room for only one blonde with that style in my life.

[hearted]

[That makes her laugh.]

I wasn't calling Usagi's hair silly! I was thinking of something more like a beehive...I think that would hurt my neck a little.

[faithfulflame]

Oh, I wouldn't do that. I have an idea, in fact.

[She starts by bundling Minako's hair into to bunches and braiding it into two long tails. It gives her the opportunity to kiss the base of her love's neck, too. An opportunity that she liberally accepts.]

Have you met Leia yet, love?

[hearted]

[Minako thinks about shaking her head, then realizes she needs to keep it still.]

Leia Organa? No, but I have spoken to her father.

[faithfulflame]

Well. I'm going to do your hair up like hers. I think it'll look good on you.

[And she starts with a bun and double braid like so.]

[hearted]

[Minako restrains herself from complaining about any tugging, resisting the urge by smiling...well, it's hard in this position, but there's a way.

She pulls a compact mirror out of her pocket and carefully angles it so they can see each other.]

I was starting to miss your face. You're so gorgeous when you're concentrating.

[faithfulflame]

[if Minako wanted to break Rei's concentration by making her smile, she's succeeded. Rei actually laughs.]

You are so incredibly cheesy sometimes, Minako.

[Her eyes meet the compact and she kisses the nape of the blonde's neck.]

But I'm glad you say so. I know you mean it.

[hearted]

[She laughs brightly, curling back against her as best she can.]

I wouldn't lie to you about that. Or much of anything...maybe to help Usagi with a surprise, but that's all.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei hums softly, lips pressing to Minako's ear now, laughing softly.]

I know that. That's another reason I'm here with you tonight.

[You think she'd go plan to have sex in a cabin with just anyone?]
