[ this sort of stalking has eren circling closer to her now, no hiding the way he’s looking at her and drinking her in from top to bottom (to middle) to top again. he— yes, he’s getting an excited kick out of watching her pull off her things bit by bit. the circle he makes around her comes to a close stop from behind, so tempted to pull it off himself, but—
he’ll refrain, letting the heat of his exhale ride the back of her neck, and a claw play at the strap that remained. ]
I’ll tell when it’s gone.
[ he’s leaning back to watch her do the rest, though. most definitely. ]
[ Close, now. Lex lets her eyes drift shut, lets herself lean back slightly - not touching him, but into his space, the warmth radiating off of him. It's tempting to relax further, to slow down the removal of armor... but curiosity pushes her to sit back up after a moment. ]
Not that much left, [ she tells him, turning her head slightly to smile at him, even as her hands go for the next piece. She's faster, now; trained movements kick in, the armor shed in no time flat. When it's gone, she moves to turn, to face him, eyebrow raised expectantly. ]
[ and he’s not supposed to touch, right? plays very well into teasing, the way his space is pleasantly invaded makes him break the unspoken rules— a flick of his tongue over her neck, breathing scents in and nearly eating up the vibrancy in her energy, then a fleeting hand sliding along the lovely curve of her hip . . .
fleeting! he’s quick about it, as she is with the last piece and damn isn’t quick armor removal alone a turn on. there’s one more thing he needs to ask of her, and it shows in the way he grins and hands up a finger, his other hand now occupied with his back. ]
[ He grins and Lex can't help it - grins back, even as she makes a show of rolling her eyes. Eren will be able to feel it in the bond, though, the spark of amusement and the firm curiosity. Her eyes shut, tight; no peeking, not this one. ]
Eyes closed.
[ And she'll wait, though her senses are already straining to try and pick up extras, to try and supplement themselves now that she can't see. ]
[ she’s in for tip ins, then. the slips of thick fabric, the scent of leather and eren being settled over her head and draping over her shoulders. his fingers are careful as they are sly in guiding down her curves, to her spine. it isn’t too heavy, even lighter for those used to the lug of armor. on her sides, her back, clink little straps and buckles against one another as he tightens each belt— all until it’s hugging her.
making sure it’s adjusted just right, eren looks her up, down, both hands on the bump of her waist, before taking a dragging step back. ]
How’s it feel?
[ with her eyes open, she’ll see where his scent is coming from— it’s on her, all over her, scales shimmering colors from black to deep plum, to a few reds and oranges depending on the way the light hit it. armor fit for her, made of him. ]
[ It's lighter than her combat armor, but the leather is a familiar feeling. It's newer than the leather armor she used to have, and smells far, far better - both because of Eren's scent and because it's not two hundred years old and soaked in generations of sweat and dust. She squirms just a little as he works the buckles, but it has nothing to do with the armor and everything to do with Eren's presence and meticulousness.
He takes a step back and Lex wants to grab for him, pull him back, but instead she opens her eyes. ]
Beautiful, [ she breathes, and it's both a response and a reaction. She runs her hands over the scales, admiring the way they catch the light. ] Eren, how-...?
[ that’s the first person who should be given credit, but. they way the grin plays on him, man . . . the points to his teeth poke his lips, and he’s fighting pretty hard, equally hard, not to pull her back by the waist and just take her.
the bond’s ultimate thermometer for that is only rising, and rising, and lex might only get a few more words before he breaks the heat. ] Those are all the scales I lose on full moon. Completely fireproof.
[ she won’t ever get singed by him, or any flame, again. ]
Beautiful, [ she repeats, running her hands over the scales on her chest and down to her stomach. ]
I love it.
[ And she does - it's probably the most extravagant thing she's ever been given, and certainly the newest. It's practical, too, and the surge of warmth across the bond in Eren's direction is likely as warm as his own fire. ]
[ the fire sac in his chest is pretty hot. it’s— fuzzy. it’s fuzzy to feel as it is to acknowledge and accept. it’s warmth for him. warmth that feeds into a never ending cycle of warmth for her and, how deserving was he of it? ]
[ it's fast, almost too fast. eren rocks the space between them with a blast of flames. he's crouched some, to protect her face and feathers and focus the burst to her chest, like a jab to the gut. flames would lick the scales and dissipate, and she would be absolutely okay. said scales might even shimmer brighter. ]
[ oh, that's the last straw. so fierce, so brilliant, so— so blistering, she was! she has a dragon pouncing on her, openly inviting her to give him hell. ]
[ The raiders, the Talon Company, the Enclave - Lex would face them all and slaughter her way through. Her grin is still wide and feral when Eren pounces and she clutches him to her, talons twining through his hair as she drags him into an open-mouthed, toothy kiss. ]

Will I?
[ A buckle is fiddled with, flipped back and forth. Lex licks her lips deliberately, then unfastens the piece of armor with a flick of her wrist. ]
Going to tell me why?
[ Her head tilts, curious, and the piece of armor she's playing with is dropped into the pile. ]

Want to test it out?

[ Joke or not, she laughs. The warmth needs a place to go and it goes with her laugh, but doesn't cease. ]
