[Next Time on Perry Poltergeist!! the TV blared from the other side of the room, as the narrator delivered a preview of next week's episode, nearly giving away the plot twist before being audibly dragged out of the recording booth.

Seraphina was buried in her coziest of designer sweaters, tucking her toes under Adell's thighs for warmth.

Autumn in Gorgeous wasn't so different from autumn in Veldime apparently, as the brisks winds outside rattled the windows. Seraphina had been in full blown Staycation mode since the week had started, essentially taking an On-Call vacation before the next term in the Dark Assembly officially started. From then on chaos would reign supreme as it always did...

but for now, there was spiced cider and snacks on the table in front of them, and absurd television Sera hadn't the pleasure of catching up on in weeks. She'd long dropped any pretenses around Adell about not having cravings for junk food, and waved her hand at him in her typical spoil me way.]

Adell~ Pass the chips?

[Mmm. Yes. Spoonfeed her more compliments. That's what mama likes. Seraphina practically sparkles as she stretches her arms above her head, lifting up her feet from under Adell to cross one leg over the other. Posing like some Succubi starlet, at odds with her cozy outfit, and an ad for weed killer playing on the tv in the background, but she made it work. She always made it work.]

When you're right, you're right ♥

My beauty, can't you feel how it pulls you towards me like a magnetic force?

Ohohoho~

[She always made it work. And frankly, it worked better on him more and more over time, especially in moments like these. And perhaps, the dichotomy is what made it so effective on him. With another laugh, he rolled out of his upright position to crawl over her while she posed so alluringly.]

Mmmm, I certainly can, a force more powerful than a shining star. Princess Overlord Seraphina, light of the universe.

[Adell stole a kiss from her lips, appreciative, affectionate, and adoring. It wasn't a particularly lingering or hungry one, but it still carried the message of just how smitten he was on his own terms... while happily playing along with her temptress act. And even if playing along meant he got some hellpepper dust on his own lips.

Of course, he took the opportunity to affectionately boop her on the nose with his finger playfully before pulling back off her and settling back down where he was. Though this time, he pulled her legs to rest in his lap, so he could stroke her smooth skin more freely.]

But I'm shocked you still watch the show after that display in the Assembly. Not sure I'd ever want to see it again after a spectacle like that.

[Totally being doted on mode... before her nose scrunches up cutely from that boop. Excuse! But she only lightly kicks at Adell after he scoops her feet up into his lap. He's lucky he's her dreamboat.

And that she's a total lush for easy, casual affection like this.]

It's a guilty pleasure. I would change the channel without hesitation in the past! But... well. When I had a week-long case of the flu and was in desperate need of some mind-numbing distraction [she gestures to the tv] a marathon was running and I found myself entertained by their B plots. Truly, their script writers are wasted on this show.

[He huffs a bit when she kicks him back, playing up the impact just a bit before happily settling back down.]

Funny how that works. Dad got hooked on Mr. Champloo's Kitchen Disasters in a similar way. Couldn't stop saying "Boom" for a month, though. Pretty sure Mom strangled him more than once. Good thing he didn't need air.

[Idly, his hands found their way to her feet, his thumbs slowly working the soles of her feet with a gentle massage.]

But man, those B-plots are shockingly good. I'm still waiting for the pilot for the spinoff for Harold Zommie, Paranormal Equalizer. They had that whole arc like it was a noir movie and it was the best stuff the show put out? The more deliberate pace, the establishing shots, the internal narration. Actual cinematography! Let the crew make that show, it's clear they were totally into it!
