Nephele continued to throw surprise after surprise at C'Leena today, and she'd not at all against it. As Nephele played up her role despite how flustered she was, C'Leena started off surprised, then mildly flustered herself before tampering down and responding to Nepheles so-called 'boredom' with an even wider grin.
"Oh my, look at you~. Aren't you just the cutest thing," She starts, her grin somehow growing wider. "You think I'm bluffing? Hold on tight, petal." Without any more warning than that, her golden wings1 sprout from her back as C'Leena scoops up Nephele with practiced ease and launches them into the air, toward the room. The trip takes no more than 30 seconds as C'Leena doesn't even land in front of the tavern, opting to take the already open window into their room.
Flying in and landing with ease, her wings vanish as her feet touch the wooden floorboards, and all in one smooth motion, C'Leena plops Nephele onto the bed, returns to her position above her and dives into Nephele, kissing her deeply, somehow conveying spite into her kiss as well. Unlike last time, Nephele is simply under C'Leena, not pinned in the slightest. After an unknown amount of time for C'Leena (Probably a solid three minutes), she pulls away and stares into Nepheles eyes. "Does this look like somebody who bluffs, my little petal?"
Truthfully? At first, she totally was bluffing. Things like this never go further because Nephele doesn't usually play into it like she did today. Since Nephele never said she wanted things to go further when she pulls that on her, she never moves ahead. However, once Nephele doubled down, it told her everything she needed to know and more.
Firstly, Nephele was capable of using that authoritative voice, even though she was incredibly flustered while doing so. Hm. Perhaps an avenue to explore. Will have to speak about that after.

Holding on to C’Leena when she takes off without warning, Nephele looked out a high pitched yelp, not expecting to take off so fast. She honestly should have, but that didn't matter. Excessive flirting is what got her here, after all, and she did it on purpose so she couldn't really blame anybody but herself.
Nephele basically clings to C’Leena like a koala, not letting her go even after her back has found the bed. When did the window open? Was the window always open? Unable to really focus, Nephele is hyper focused on herself and C’Leena, kissing her with a little too much ferocity. She had limited lung capacity, but even then she would rather get dizzy than let go.
When C’Leena finally does part from her, there's cool steam expelling from the nymph’s nose. Catching her breath was no easy task, and whatever bravery she had was nigh nonexistent as she looked up into the eyes of C’Leena. The north star in her eye pulsed, and after that she was pretty certain that her next words were probably going to be choked and stuttered. It was humiliating, and C’Leena was definitely not bluffing.
“D-Damn you.” Nephele turns her head to the side whatever facade that she was trying to keep up failing, because at this point she was too lightheaded to respond with anything else. Embarrassed, the nymph releases C’Leena, using her hands to cover her face in self-preservation. She tried, she truly did. “You're too good at this, re malakas...1"
She wasn't smiling…or at least she didn't sound like she was. It was hard to tell when her entire face was obscured. Whatever tone she was using didn't allude to any smiling though. Well, she got further than she normally did so that was a plus, right? Oddly, a small part of Nephele felt a little frustrated with herself. Isn't she supposed to be good at this? Why was she blushing like a child getting their first crush? She deftly reminded herself that technically C’Leena was her first crush, but it did nothing to help.
With that being said, Nephele didn't completely let go of C’Leena, one leg still wrapped around her midriff loosely while her hands covered her face. It was mostly a thing of being in shock, unable to move from her frozen position.
1malakas = "jerk" or "asshole" (re makes it meaner, so it's "asshole" in this context)

Mild concern fluttered through C'Leenas mind. Dropping the act for a moment, she speaks up. "You don't sound like you particularly want this. If you want me to cut the shit, just tell me, yeah?" She's not wanting to coerce Nephele into something she doesn't want.
She takes a moment to try and translate the Greek that Nephele said. She's heard that particular phrase before, and out of boredom one morning, she took like, five minutes to learn some funny swears in Greek. Well, 'Learn' is a strong word, more like 'look at and appreciate'. ".. Did you just call me an asshole?" She asks with an amused look. It took her like, a minute to come to this conclusion, and is reaching the extent of her knowledge of Greek.
C'Leena does enjoy teasing Nephele like this, but she's unsure about it when Nephele might be uncomfortable with it. Carefully bringing her hand up to Nepheles cheek, all she does is gently place her hand there and idly rub her cheek with her thumb. "You know I don't want to make you uncomfortable or make you do something you don't want, right?" Her voice is gentle and even, but still filled with concern. Her hand goes up to Nepheles scalp, lightly running her fingers through her hair.

Nephele listened to C’Leena, still not looking at her just yet. A part of her felt really bad for concerning her fiance, wanting to apologize for being so awkward. Something told her that C’Leena would lecture her for expelling every apology that was building up behind her teeth.
When C’Leena put two and two together, translating what she said, Nephele peeked through her fingers. She couldn’t deny the small amount of pride she had that she was able to translate it accurately, but also lamented the fact that she was becoming a bad influence. She really needed to watch her language around C’Leena, even in Greek. She supposed she could switch to Elvish, but she still spoke it brokenly to this day. “…Maybe?” She answered unconvincingly, her voice higher than usual.
“Cee, when I tell you that you’d know when you did something wrong, you would know. This is a me thing I can assure you.” Nephele sighed, rubbing her eyes. “I’m just a bit insecure about these things. Which is silly because we’ve done this already once before but…ah, nevermatter.”
The entire time she speaks, her face remains hidden behind her palms, but she visibly relaxes her limbs when she feels a hand on her face. “I wouldn’t initiate something I wouldn’t want, or at least, not anymore. And I know that you wouldn’t impede on my boundaries.”
Nephele uncovered her face, reaching up to kiss C’Leena, hopeful that she could help her understand that she wasn't uncomfortable. “Seriously, I was trying to test how mad you’d get, but that went wrong pretty fast. I’m…not really sorry, but I apologize for worrying you.”

C'Leena chuckled at the admission, feeling awfully pleased with herself for getting it right. She continued to listen to Nephele, nodding afterward. "I understand that all too well. I don't know if you noticed - wouldn't surprise me if you did - but I was nervous as all hell that first time." She chuckles again softly.
Seeing Nephele visibly relax is a good sign. C'Leena continues running her fingers through her hair, allowing Nephele to relax further. Once she uncovers her face and kisses C'Leena, a smile returns to her face. "Trying to make me mad? Pfft, why was that something you wanted to see for yourself?" She leans down and returns the kiss.
"And don't be sorry, you're awfully adorable when you're flustered like this. The deeper blue looks beautiful on you." She says after pulling away for but a moment, quickly returning to the kiss.
The hand running through her hair returns to Nepheles cheek, and C'Leenas spare hand rests on the thigh that is still wrapped around her midsection. The kiss deepens as C'Leena slowly melts into it. Eventually, C'Leena pulls back, taking a second to catch her breath.
"Now, if you're willing.. I still need to reward your bravery, my petal."
