TO HAVE AND TO HOLD [modplot]

[letsgolegion]

Who| Anyone who wants in
What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

"I could think of nothing better, darling~" Elphelt giggled, rubbing her cheek against his shoulder. Despite the fact she could still feel the steel beneath, she hardly cared. They were a couple, after all. They had to keep up appearances. Plus she wanted to.

"I'm glad the idea suits your expectations, dear." If he didn't respond, it would look odd to anyone watching. That and Genji got the feeling that Elphelt might be disappointed if he didn't go with it. Or perhaps she wouldn't, as deep as she was into it.

Regardless, using their connection, he helped guide them to the entrance to the ride. As they never had to leave the sand to get there, it was as good as a walk on the beach.

"You'll hold me close during the ride, right?" Someone stop her.

"Ah, that is... I mean...," at least she had enough awareness to realize, for the moment, when she was getting too into it. But it was really really REALLY difficult to not throw herself fully into the illusion.

[touchmydragon]

"If that is your wish."

It was a way of saying that he trusted her. Being deep into it was different than going too far and if he could effortlessly offer something to help the experience for her, Genji was more than willing to step up to the plate and believe it wouldn't be taken too entirely wrong.

[marryonette]

So dreamy-eyed, so lost in the moment, that she didn't actually really watch where she was stepping, and the moment her foot hit the less solid cushion of the seating area of the ride, she immediately lost her balance.

"G'ah!" Well. That was one way to break her out of her romantic reverie.

Thankfully, someone here literally has ninja-like reflexes and took Elphelt's arm before she had a worse or more painful outcome. It does, however, leave him off balance too as he tries to adjust to compensate. A light grunt leaves his mouth as he ends up on the ride, concentrating on not having the same outcome.

[marryonette]

"Eh heh heh, uh... whoops?" How awkward. And left them in a slightly compromising position, too, but she tried awfully hard not to think too much about that. But there was a slight trail of blood coming from her nose...
