Heh. You know — when I first got here? I wasn't sure I wanted to go there with anyone. Or at least, not with anyone on my own unit. Same kind of reasoning, really; you've gotta be able to trust each other, work together. Hell, you've gotta be able to live together, at least twice a week. Sex can... really mess that kind of thing up.
[ A beat. ]
But we also go through a lot in this place, even when they're not literally killing us. It's stressful. It's exhausting. A little bit of messing around, well—
[ He cuts himself off, seeming to consider his words for a long moment, but then he shrugs. Offers up a crooked smile. ]
Endorphins take the edge off.
[ And as deliberately casual as his tone is, Lupine's gaze is also very intent on Rene's face. Watching for her reaction. Watching to see if she — gets what he's driving at. ]
[Even she wouldn't try to argue she has the best taste. But she definitely wouldn't change it, either.]
...yeah. It was a bit of meddling on the production's part that gave me the push it took to take that first step. But I realized that a little mess would still be worth what I got out of it in the long run.
As long as we're honest with ourselves and each other... if what we want is the same, I don't see any reason not to enjoy it. I don't think it has to be any more complicated than that.
[That crooked smile... she's weak. Winking, she nods her head.]
[She understands. Though the latter comment causes a breathless giggle to bubble up. Irony is always a bit funny that way. But the humor is equally matched by the thrum of excitement as she feels her wrists caught by the vines.]
I think we can make a few small exceptions this time-- don't you?
Small? [ The vines are starting to tug her wrists behind her, making them nicely prone at her back. ] I dunno, they'll be stronger if they're... thicker.
[ Lipquirk. ]
That was so bad, I'm sorry.
[ But he does slide in closer, the vines drawing her back sweetly but insistently to the aforementioned wall behind her~. Eyes lidding, ]

Mm. Yeah... they do.
Re: Lupine
So. A little harmless fun? No strings attached.
[ He can do that. Lower: ]
Though I guess it depends on how strictly you're defining strings.
[ Vines coming up behind her again. They left off while he was... concerned and surprised, but they're back again. Catching at her wrists, to start. ]
