ANNIKA'S (AND LET'S BE HONEST, VICTORIA'S) HOME - AFTERNOON
----------------------------------------------
Victoria is lightly dozing on the couch, having done her guard-ing for the day as she waits for Annika to come home. The leopard is as usual somewhat lacking in clothes, although at least she's lightly covered by a blanket. Just resting her eyes, definitely no sleeping.
Annika returns back, opening the door, and slipping inside. She lays against the wall, and takes a breath, before raising her voice "Evening Vi'" She's a little awkward sounding, which is likely due to how Leopardy she's sounding... and looking. Very, very like Victoria in fact "Uh...so..this sort of just... happened. I was thinking about you on the way home, and..then" She puts on a bit of a brave face, but she's worried "Most sincere form of flattery, hmm?"
Victoria blinks awake from her definitely-not-sleeping and looks up: "Huh? Oh." She gets up to sitting and pats the couch next to her: "What's this about then? You looking like me is nothing new I'm sure." Some part of the leopard's brain is trying to tell her that it SHOULD be weird, but that part has been long silenced. Dating shapeshifters and all that.
Annika: "Well, that's just it" She sighs, and wiggle a paw "It's not going back, I'm stuck. Now, nothing against you, I'm stuck as a very attractive Leopard" She winks "But..it's kinda a problem. Annika is the one that's hired as a courier, not Victoria"
Victoria blinks, sitting straight: "Wait so you're saying... oh crap, that's not good at all, is it." She pats the couch pillow next to her just a bit more intently, willing her currently-identical lover to at least sit down.
Annika flops down on the cushion, and nods, leaning her head against Victoria's shoulder "Aye. It should be working, but..." She wiggles a paw again "Nothing. I don't really understand it either. It's not like I'm feeling any different"
Victoria blinks, wheels turning in her head: "Like you're... well, like me, like this is the form your body should return to? Does that make any sense?"
Annika: "I don't know? I get what you're trying to say, but I've never felt like anything but myself, no matter what form I'm in"
Victoria blinks again: "Oh. So not like me and..." she waves her hand: "Other me, or when I'm, well, you."
Annika: "Who knows? This only really just happened. Maybe I'm just a bit off my game, or thinking of you too hard~" She wiggles, and lightly headbutts her 'twin' "But! In the meantime" She stands up, and takes a step over to a drawer, and takes out a green ribbon, tying it through her tail "There we go~ All better" She flumps back down again "Problem solved..."
Victoria gives Annika a hug and leans against her: "Well, maybe not, but you're smart. Something is gonna explain this." She gives the not-fox an encouraging smile: "And in the meantime, you're still you, to me."
Annika: "Ahuh~" She sighs, and leans in back in "Aye" She smiles back "Careful now~ You might not be the sexiest leopard in the house anymore"
Victoria laughs softly: "That is going to be entirely debatable, love."
Annika: "Well, I'm happy to debate it" She gives her a kiss, before breaking away, and taking a breath "Okay, if you're here, and you're the one I'm stuck as. Maybe if I focus, and this magic can work out that we're different people" She goes, and gives her another kiss, longer this time, Kitsune magic is very much based on feelings, and emotions. She's never really leaned into this side of things, so focuses on it, trying to really lean into her feelings for her, and how this relationship is fox and leopard, and not two leopards, after all you need a fox and a leopard in order to...Well, her thoughts drift into the sort that don't bare repeating in polite company, but they're very much focused on those unique physical differences
Victoria leans into the kiss, letting Annika take the lead. Which once upon a time would have been unusual for the leopard, but turns out it just works better if the kitsune magic user does her thing without any too-forceful moves by her lover. At least not before they're done doing any change magic. Which... funny how that tingles, doesn't it?
Annika is focusing on the magic, but soon her thoughts are wandering a little. One can't focus on the finer points of her partner's body for two long while being so close, without wanting to act on it, so she slowly leans in further, her hands going to explore Victoria, and it feels almost like her fingers are molding the leopard as she snuggles in. Her fingers running over her chest, and gentle, graceful curves, before tracing behind her, and down Victoria long trio of fluffy tails...
Victoria leans into the kiss and extras, tracing her own hands upon Annika and not really realizing anything is all that off from their usual... rather silly brand of lovemaking. It isn't until several moments later as she lets go of the kiss that she breathes out: "OHhh that's some tens... ion." She realizes her voice doesn't entirely sound like her own. She glances behind her, noticing a trio of fox tails, giving them an experimental swish, then just turns to look at the still-leopard Annika with an expression that's somewhere between defeat, stupid smile and mild confusion. "Well."
Annika breaks away as she notices Victoria moving, and blinks, still very red faced "Oh. Well Indeed" She reaches out, and 'checks' if it's real, running her hand over Victoria's foxy chest before seemingly catching herself, and taking a breath, trying to get the horny to quieten down a moment "Ah, it..um. At least we're looking different now? Maybe I should have specified who should look like who..."
Victoria gives a bit of a laugh: "Maybe. So..." She trails off, several questions popping in her head but she shoves them all aside as she attempts to take the situation in. "Huh." The fox is rather confused, not because of the form but because of the assorted implications Victoria is not very qualified to think about rationally right now.
Annika: "...Is it wrong that I still think you look sexy? That might be the magic talking though" It tends to push Annika's brain in a very particular direction, and that's not even when she's not pushing it that hard. "Sorry..uh..that was probably in appropriate" She carefully goes in for a hug. Just a hug. Focus Annika.
Victoria hugs back: "Don't care if it's inappropriate. I mean, I know I'm sexy. And you are. And... does this change anything? I mean, besides the obvious."
Annika: "Well, we do need a solution" She rests her head on Victoria's shoulder "I think people will notice otherwise, and when you say that you're sexy..is it that you're sexy, or that your body is sexy..or.." She giggles "Okay, why don't we settle for agreeing we're both sexy. That way there's no confusion, and we can find sexy ways to solve this problem?"
Victoria tilts her head to lean on Annika's: "Sexy solutions are always better. Well, most of the time? I don't know. I don't even know what we're talking about." She looks at her fox paw, surprised at how not surprised she is at again having the body of her lover.
Annika takes that paw in hers, and gives it a gentle rub on the much softer flesh. Annika is a little more familiar with the differences, though not hugely so "Well, for now, we can use it as a leaning experience, hmm?" Annika's a lot more worried about this than perhaps she's letting on, so just leaning into the physical stuff as it's easier to focus on, and less worrying to boot.
Victoria has no trouble leaning into the physical, and pretty much does so: "I'm always good to learn more with you~." She gives Annika's forehead a kiss: "Or just be here and feel you out." Fox or leopard, Victoria has no real issue being encouraged into exploring Annika. Even when Annika's being her. Easier if you don't think about it too hard.
Annika: "I'm very happy to do that much" She licks Victoria's foxy nose, before licking her foxy neck, and starts to continue on, licking lower, and lower, seeking to learn what none but the most flexible of ladies ever learn about themselves.
Victoria leans back, letting Annika do her thing. She knows better than to try to interrupted, not that she exactly wants to. Instead, she focuses on the subtle differences in her body and Annika's, enjoying the moment of here and now despite the added layer of weirdness. "Well, I'm not going to stop you~."
Annika spends some time on Victoria's belly button, before settling between her legs, and seeing herself from an angle she'd never seen before "Well, I know that when you do this~ I love it" She carefully puts up her muzzle up, and drawing her tongue slowly, but firmly over Victoria's folds. Focusing on the feeling, and indeed, the taste.
Victoria shivers as a jolt of something familiar yet definitely not familiar goes through her: "Mmmrf!" Her tails swish slightly from the agitation as she looks at Annika's tails - her tails, two big fluffy leopard tails - do similar motions behind her lover. "Y-yeah, I think love is the right word."
Annika: Both of Annika's tails indeed have a life of their own, and showing their apprecition as Annika explores deeper with her tongue. It's not perfect, but Annika knows her own body very well, and so quickly works out where to focus on and where that is now that she's seeing it all from the 'outside'. She begins to purr, loud rumbles coming from her throat, and indeed, on her tongue.
Victoria doesn't purr, although she'd be way too excited to do so anyway. She lets out a noise that she is immediately surprised she is able to create, blinking in surprise if only for a second. "Urmf. I-it's like you know how to please, w-well, yourself."
Annika pauses, and looks up to her, nose wet "Not at all~ I've just had a very gracious partner explore these lands before" She wiggles her fingers "For example..." She slowly slides them inside, running them along "If I do this..." She presses down inside, on one very particular spot....
Victoria squeak-yelps, a light, high-pitched sound she definitely has never let out before. "Oh WOW." The fox is rather tense for a second or two, one might say.
Annika giggles "One brave, and sexy leopard made this discovery. I'm merely finding it for the second time" She keeps her fingers inside, wiggling them in order to defuse all that tension, and once she's done that, she slowly withdraws her fingers, before presenting them to Victoria "Though, I'm curious...does a fox taste different when you're not a fox to when you are? Science needs to know..."
Victoria giggles as the tension leaves her: "Eh heh, guess I did find that. Just d-different from this side. Aaaand..." She shrugs and gives Annika's fingers a lick: "...heh. I'm not sure? Science, though? Which science is this?"
Annika: "I don't know~ Foxology? We're forging new grounds regardless, and that's what matters" She goes back in for a kiss, laying her body against Victoria's and just..enjoying the closeness "For everything else we do, this..I think I like this the most. Just..being together y'know? Regardless of what shapes we are"
Victoria snickers softly into the kiss: "Sexy shapes. Sexy science." Her hands wander into exploring Annika's body in turn, feeling slightly odd yet appreciative of the muscles along the leopard's sides. "So... does this qualify as self-love?"
Annika: "Maybe? Very elaborate masturbation if you're right" She shivers as the touch, leaving Victoria to explore her, and it's really only with her touch that she appreciates that strength that's inside of her now.
Victoria lets her hands wander with no real aim as she looks up: "You know you'd think it would be weirder to be feeling yourself up like this, but... nah, well it's still kinda weird but like in a pleasant way?" She leans up to give Annika a kiss: "You're pretty pleasant anyway~."
Annika returns the kiss "It's very weird, but I'm comfortable with weird...and if this anyway, if this is what weird is, I don't think I want to be normal"
Victoria giggles: "I think we saw 'normal' pass by us some months ago. I waved at it as it went away."
Annika: "Normal was boring anyway" She licks Victoria's nose
Victoria blinks at the lick, then laughs. She shifts to hug Annika closer to her, oof'ing slightly at the weight she's not used to handling this way around. "Okay, that was odd. Whatever. Let's just stay here~."
Annika: "Worry about the other problems in the morning" She cuddles in "You know, in future, we should have these talks starting in bed, it would make things more comfortable..."
Victoria laughs tiredly: "Or just get a comfier couch."
