If anything was clear, at all, it was that a change of pace was in order.
Things had been difficult, lately. What Saskia had thought might be a breakthrough with her partner - she grappled with thinking of Anya as such, but hardly anything else fit - had instead turned into her being even less sure with where they stood. Skadi had never been good at smoothing things over, but the stress was obvious. She had never been much good with the emotional part of connecting with others. Or, well, any of it. Her solution had always been to be good enough in other ways that people didn't question her obvious faults.
The way things had been lately, however, left her feeling like she did, in fact, have something to apologize for. It made her uncomfortable, scrambling to fix it, and some time off in a relaxing location had seemed like just the thing. She had honestly stumbled upon the deal for the cruise ship to paradise; be willing to pitch in if monsters show up, and there was even a great discount. Anya had seemed amicable to the idea, and everything had been pretty smooth going right up until they got to their room.
Singular.
Nothing was clear. At all.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Truthfully, the past few days had been rough on her with the way things were with Saskia. At first, she just wanted some time away from the woman to sort out her feelings. Rather than communicate that, she had started to unintentionally avoid the Vanadis like a damn idiot, leaving them both unsure of where they stood. Things were awkward, but it was clear that they were both doing their best to try and smooth things over in their own way.
A couples' cruise was apparently Saskia's way.
Anya stood leaning against the door frame, eyeing the single bed with a smirk on her face. Before agreeing to the trip, she had already told herself that she would play things off as if nothing had happened. She could only hope that it would deflect Saskia from prying into the actual problem. Worth a shot. "So..." Anya started, "was this your plan from the beginning? a bit fast, don't you think?" She paused, adding on, "I'm joking. I can sleep on the floor if need me to do so...just say the word and I'll tie myself down."

Saskia's eyes glazed over at Anya's comment. She was right. There was no appropriate way to interpret what had happened. When Anya offered to tie herself down, Skadi raised her hands and waved them in protest. No, no. "I must have made a mistake," She said hastily, "I can fix this. I'll be right back." And with that promise, she was out the door and barreling down the hallway until she found the closest equivalent she could find to voice her concerns.
Skadi had absolutely no experience with either cruise ships or people, and so it was only out of luck that she rounded into the concierge and not the open bar for her complaints. "We need another room." She stated plainly. "Or another bed. There's only one bed." There was no reason to beat around the bush; obviously there had been some misunderstanding, and as soon as they got everything cleared up Anya could still have the relaxation she needed and everything would be okay. Or at least, that was her hope that was getting slowly crushed by the way the man was staring at her.
"But this is a couple's retreat," He replied just as plainly, and Skadi stared at him as though he had said the sky was red.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya's brows raised up high the moment Saskia's typical stoic surface was cracked. The woman ran out after that leaving Anya to question what had just happened. Rubbing at her neck, the pale female sighed as she quickened her steps to track down her missing partner. She approached slowly from behind, just within earshot of the conversation. Saskia was freaking out over this of all things? Anya couldn't help but slip out a laugh that grew into an obnoxious uproar.
The fuck? Yeah, she had to step in for this one.
"You heard the man. We're going to be sleeping together tonight," Anya smiled up at her, waving dismissively at the stranger to disappear. Once the man had left, she turned back to face the defender. It took only a glance into blue eyes to instinctively, make her turn away from direct eye contact. She could feel her face warm up already from the small exchange. Clearing her throat, Anya spoke, "so why did you choose a couples' cruise as a place to...hang out? we could have gotten food somewhere local." Staring down at the polished floor, she contemplated pushing a bit further into the topic that they were both ignoring, at least, she was. "Sorry I haven't been around. Needed some time away and...I didn't know how to tell you. So, uh, don't worry about us...?"
Anya could feel her mouth dry up at the word 'us.' What did she even fucking mean by that?
"Uh, just a guess. Anyone would be worried if their friend starts to ghost on them, right? It just got awkward."

if life was fair, skadi would've been able to punch the man in the face until he gave her an extra bed and all of this could be smoothed over. unfortunately, not everything in life could be solved just by hitting things hard enough, and so skadi was left with no way to change the man's mind. she was just about to resort to threatening him, but thankfully anya stepped in at that point and so the two of them wouldn't get thrown overboard. yet.
when anya spoke, she froze, clearing her throat and her head. perhaps it was better than her laughter, which had at the very least broken through the tension like a charging bull. she shook her head, not quite looking anya in the eye. "It wasn't to eat, I ... didn't know it was a couple's cruise." she frowned at the admission, choosing instead to let the other woman finish speaking. she wasn't good at explaining this sort of thing, let along handling it, but she could listen. that was something even she could do.
when anya said 'us,' skadi's eyes shot up to look at the woman more fully. other than that, she was still. "i thought if i could get you something relaxing like a cruise ship, it would help ... whatever was going on." she watched her, frowning. "i should have just asked. i didn't know you needed space." this entire thing had been a mistake, and it was her fault.
"if you would be more comfortable not sharing a bed, I could take the floor." She attempted, unsure of how else to fix this now that the conceirge wasn't around for her to beat on.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]"Pffttttt," Anya stifled her laugh at Saskia's honest mistake not wanting to make the woman feel worse about it. "Don't get me wrong; I like it," she spoke gently, "it's...nice -- er, different from what we normally do together." She walked closer over to the edge of the boat, leaning her crossed arms against the railing. It was a much needed change of pace and really, she had missed talking to Saskia openly since discovering her unrequited love for the woman. Could she even call it that?
"It's fineeeee," Anya drew out, looking over her shoulder to motion her date for the evening over. "Listen, it's not like I'm tired of you or anything so...I don't mind sleeping with you." It had taken her at least a good three seconds to realize the unfortunate phrasing. Her face was feverish as she started to fluster over the inappropriate wording. "I-I-I meant in the bed. No. Fuck. Sleeping next to you. Tonight. Not sleeping with--" Anya groaned pressing her hands up against her face. "You know what I mean," she mumbled.
God, she was done with herself and they hadn't even spent a full hour with each other yet. Already, she had lost her cool near Saskia without so much as brushing against her. How the fuck was she going to survive an entire night in the same bed? Anya, for once, wanted to see Catharsis almost praying to him to show up and personally kill her.
This is going to be a long day.

Saskia relaxed slightly when Anya laughed at her. It was embarrassing, but it was better than seeing the woman angry over her mistake. When Anya beckoned her, she gave up on the concept of chasing after the NPC and relented, trailing to lean against the railing that separated her from the ocean and whatever waited below the surface. Unless it attacked the ship, it wasn't her focus; that belonged to Anya along, for now.
Her face heated for a moment with Anya's mistep, but soon it was her turn to laugh softly as the woman stumbled over her words, overcorrecting. "I know what you meant." She confirmed softly. Soothing her partner's discomfort over her own slip up was the least she could do, considering it was her fault it had happened in the first place. Skadi had no intention in letting the woman wallow in it. She frowned, glancing around herself. "You know, I've .. never been to anything like this. I'm not sure if there's anything ... we could do." While she was aware that there were activities somewhere on the ship, what they were and, more importantly, how couples-exclusive they were remained a mystery to the Vanadis.
Finding something to punch would have been easier, but it also wouldn't have made Anya laugh. Saskia let her eyes drift towards Anya, curious if she had any better ideas.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]The way this woman spoke melted her heart in a way that no other could come close to. Anya felt physically weak around Saskia whenever they were this close to each other. Anya was left breathless when she had snuck a glance at Saskia's features before turning her attention down to the water. Her face burned and her heart throbbed as she stared at the blue-haired woman's reflection upon the water's surface. Truthfully, she wanted to stay there just like that for the rest of the night. It was comfortable and she was allowed to look at Saskia as long as she wanted without actually facing her. It left her mind wandering, straying away from reality.
Was this as close as she was going to get?
Anya let out a soft breath when her date had spoken up, bringing her back to the present. She was right, maybe they should do something and enjoy the cruise. After all, Saskia never experienced one and well, she was the one who had paid for it. The Slayer shrugged, "actually, you should go ahead and have fun. I think I'll hang out in the room." Anya was left with a disappointed feeling after walking away from where they stood, smiling back at Saskia as she walked back.
She hated herself for that.
Anya sighed, throwing herself on the bed with a plop, an arm at her side and the other placed across her eyes. It was hard to keep up the act that everything was fine. It was unlike her and never did she do such a thing before in her entire life. If she felt something, she would say it. For something like this, she couldn't and it was quickly tiring her out.

for the first time in skadi's life, the fact that she didn't know how to deal with something without using force was starting to bite her in the ass in a way she couldn't just shrug off. skadi blinked, reaching out after anya as the woman walked away, but let her hand fall back to her side just as quickly. she had hoped there had been something for them to do, and instead she had ruined a nice moment. slowly, the woman inhaled before releasing it in a sigh.
then, she walked after seneca, hoping it would be enough space. perhaps it would be better to leave the woman to her own devices and see what there was to experience, and yet, skadi couldn't be bothered. the entire point had been to do it with anya. without her, the entire trip was moot.
realizing how that sounded within the context of her mistake left her cheeks a red shade. for a moment, she stood outside the door to her room, rubbing her neck until the feeling faded and she turned the door handle. "anya, it's me." she called out, eyes on the ground just in case the woman wasn't ready for a sudden entrance. perhaps she should have knocked, the vanadis realized only as she leaned back against the door and glanced up.
she wasn't sure how to approach this, but it had to be done, she realized slowly. "can i sit with you?" she started, uncertain what she would do but stand if anya denied her.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya held her breath when she heard Saskia asking to sit down besides her. It made her mind race with questions that she should be asking verbally. Was she going to? No. The pale female exhaled softly, "yeah, you can," she replied. "So, why did you come find me? I'm fine. Just tired and you, uh, paid for this trip so I'd feel bad if you didn't get your money's worth from it. Don't you want to experience it to it's fullest?" Anya could feel the bed move from Saskia's presence. It made Anya stiffen up the moment she felt the woman sit down, sending her heart racing at top speeds. She was so close.
Anya kept her arm draped over her eyes, if only to protect herself from instantly blushing. She shifted slightly in place, hoping to loosen up to give Saskia one less thing to worry about. God, she was ruining this for her and it was making her feel bad. "Are you worried about me or... is there something else on your mind?" It didn't make sense to her. Saskia who thought only of battles and the guild was acting so considerate towards her without her asking. What was going on?

the permission was granted, and skadi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she approached. she hated this, fumbling over words about her feelings like she was right back in high school. when she sat down it was slowly, her hands falling to her side and fingers opposite from anya curling into the cover blanket. at first, she didn't look at the woman, trying to sort her thoughts.
she couldn't.
"that's part of it," she answered slowly, absent in her thoughts. she didn't have solutions or answers. she couldn't read anya's mind; only guess. while she suspected anya liked her, it also seemed like something she struggled with. the last thing skadi wanted to do was push the issue too fast, but as things were, it was causing a distance between them that skadi wanted to reject. fighting bounties and seeking out stronger battles wasn't solving this, and so ...
skadi reached back, letting her fingers brush against anya's wrist, but pulling them back just as quickly, as if she had touched a hot stove. there was nothing to tell her if she wasn't barreling right over a boundary that shouldn't be crossed. "anya, you should know that i like you." the words were clumsy on her tongue. she wasn't good at this. she had never been good at this.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya relaxed once she felt Saskia's touch against her wrist and as much as she yearned for more, she knew that that was all she could hope for. She was torn between keeping their relationship as it was prior to the Grimace incident and caving into her desire to keep Saskia to herself. It was selfish and she was aware. Fighting against it, however, was a losing battle. A battle that had ended with Saskia admitting that she liked her -- liked her how? Anya was restless now, but reminded herself that it was a trap; it had to be. Saskia was worried about their friendship, yeah, that's it.
"I know you like me," she said quietly, "if you didn't, you wouldn't have been so persistent in chasing after me. Honestly, you have bad taste." Anya huffed, "I'm temperamental, violent, and curse more than anyone would ever find necessary in their lifetime. I don't know what you like about me now that I think about it." She laughed just as quietly before flipping herself over on her side, staring at the wall directly in front of her. How did she become so vulnerable and insecure all of a sudden?
Anya took a deep breath, exhaling sharply. No more thinking, she was just going to get it over with now that she was practically at her limit. "I don't like you," she spoke calmly. "I'm in love with you." Her chest tightened when she had finally said her last words, convinced that this was the end. This was it, Saskia was going to just leave the room and never speak to her again. The words were lodged firmly in her throat, her pride just wouldn't let her do it. As much as she wanted to plead pitifully for the Vanadis to stay with her, she wasn't that pathetic.
But, of course, she was pathetic enough to shed a tear about it.

skadi wasn't sure what to think of being told she had bad taste. that was a first, and a lack of confidence certainly wasn't what she had come to expect of anya. she frowned, fingers curling inward as she tried to get a read on the pale woman. arm over her face as it was, turning away from her and towards the wall, all skadi could tell was that something was wrong. all she knew was that she needed to fix it, but very likely couldn't. whatever was going on with anya felt beyond her power or understanding. every time she thought she had a grasp on it, the woman said something that bewildered her.
"i don't like you," and skadi's thoughts skidded to a halt, her breath catching in her throat. it wasn't that she had never been wrong before, especially in situations such as these. it still hurt, like a fresh wound across skin, but she only exhaled slowly, blinking rapidly.
when anya actually said that she loved her, skadi drew in a new breath, quiet but renewing. she did not leave. as anya had turned away, skadi turned to lean forward, the bed sinking under the weight of one hand, long blue hair draping down to hit the fabric as she reached with her free one to gently turn anya back onto her back. she didn't waste time on words; they had never been her forte and never would be. lacking the patience to waste any more time, skadi leaned forward, eyes closing as she moved in for the kiss.

[attr="class","bang"] [attr="class","bangimg"] [attr="class","bangtext"]Anya didn't resist when Saskia had turned her onto her back, sighing heavily as she did. What she had expected was the woman wanting to talk to her face to face. Instead, she was left staring into those blue eyes that looked at her in a way that they never did before. "Saskia...?" The name left her lips in a whisper. It was right after that that cold lips had pressed up against hers, eliciting a small squeak behind her sealed lips. Anya didn't resist, only pressing herself deeper into the sheets as if to escape the confusing situation.
She couldn't tell how long the kiss had gone on for, but once the Vanadis had broken away, Anya started to scream. Her heart was beating faster than it ever was able to and her face felt like it was burning. She was speechless and frankly, overwhelmed by all the emotions bubbling out from her. It was so much to take in and so, she purged all those feelings in the only way she knew how to -- through screaming.
"W-W-W-What the fuck was that? Wh-Wha- What the fuck, Saskia? You're gay?!" Anya's mind spun and her words came out quickly in flustered stutters. "Don't you thi-think you should've said you--" She held her breath, wheezing out, "loved me first?" The words came out shrill, but she couldn't have been bothered to apologize for it. "Since when?" Anya breathed out, looking up at the woman like a cautious cat.

The moment their lips touched, Skadi could tell from the way Anya had flinched away from it that she had made a mistake. When Anya started screaming, she recoiled back into a sitting position with a frown. She really, really couldn't read the room. Skadi inched back to give the woman more room, hoping it would ease her obvious discomfort while she did her best to listen.
She didn't understand, but that was no surprise.
"Yes?" She answered, realizing that the subject had never come up only in that moment. Anya had never asked after her dating history, and neither had she asked after Anya. She had never realized that she was so subtle about her sexuality, but it couldn't be helped. Realizing she had made a mistake didn't change the situation she was in now. She frowned slightly, shaking her head. "I didn't know there was a specific order for this." she said, completely genuine. she had, quite obviously, missed the memo on what anya had expected, if she had expected anything. for once, the vanadis was at a loss on what to do from here.
"i-" she shifted, not looking away from anya even as part of her wanted to. "I don't know." it was the truth, as unfortunate as it might sound. everything had been a gradual discovery.
