The Samsara, the Port of Fandom, Friday Evening

[okteiviakom]

The port wasn't quiet tonight. At least, not if you were right outside the little fishing cruiser docked there. The music, while not terribly loud to a listener outside the Samsara... sounded like it was probably pretty loud on the inside of the boat.

Because it was.

Which was probably a little funny, since Octavia had originally come there for some peace and quiet on her own. But that had been hours ago, and anyway, sometimes this was just what you had to do. Turn your tiny stereo up, and find the space to dance.

There really wasn't much of it, though. And the boat rocked in the water if she went too hard.

But she didn't care. It was rare that she got this urge at all. She was going to milk it for what it was worth.

[ooc: Open, if you'd like.]

She hadn't shown up to the bar, and-- well, sometimes Octavia just didn't, Lucifer knew that.

But he'd still found himself curious.

And so, after closing down for the night, he found himself drawn to the sound and the motion of Samsara. Approaching quietly, not wanting to disrupt her.

[okteiviakom]

"-- wanna be more like the ocean! No talking, man, all action!"

It would've been hard to disrupt her. You didn't yell that loudly along with the music and still hear things from outside the boat.

(She was getting kind of overheated, though. The size of the cabin hadn't exactly been designed with exercise in mind. Maybe she'd do something about that after this song.)

After a moment or so, Lucifer took a careful step aboard, pressing his hands down on the railing as he felt the boat dip under his weight.

He was moving slowly for-- well, he felt they were obvious reasons.

[okteiviakom]

Another moment, and music came spilling out of the hatch - along with Octavia, breathless, with a few strands of her hair sticking to her face with sweat.

She blinked.

"... Oh. You're back already."

She may have lost track of time again.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer chuckled, soft and yet amused. "Well, don't let me stop you," he said. "You were having fun."

[okteiviakom]

The song had changed, but the stereo was still blaring. Some early Red Hot Chili Peppers, now.

Octavia sank down onto one of the benches on the deck, with a big breath. "Need to cool down."

[my_own_advocate]

Another laugh, and Lucifer moved past her between the benches. "Shall I go get you a glass of water?"

[okteiviakom]

Soft snort.

"Sure, why not."

She could probably use it, yeah.

[my_own_advocate]

"Just felt the mood, did we?" Lucifer asked, stepping downstairs to go collect that.

[okteiviakom]

"Something like that," Octavia called, raising her voice over the music. Unsurprisingly, it was much louder where he was now.

It was pretty obvious she'd managed to knock some things in the cabin a little askew with her dancing.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer - being Lucifer - couldn't help but straighten a few things on the way, so he returned upstairs about a minute later than expected with the glass. "You got a bit messy in there."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia took the glass from him, and shrugged, because what could you do? "Maybe, yeah."

But that was part of the beauty of having her own space.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer leaned over to brush a kiss against her cheek. "I can't be mad at you for that," he decided.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia offered her cheek up with a little tilt of her head. "Would be annoying if you were."

[my_own_advocate]

"True," Lucifer laughed, and pressed another kiss to her skin, a little closer to her lips.

[okteiviakom]

"Because it's my space," Octavia muttered, absently.

Guess her efforts to actually drink the water would have to wait.

[my_own_advocate]

"It is," Lucifer said, leaning back just a bit, "And I'm glad I can still be welcome here even when I interrupt your dancing."

[okteiviakom]

"It's only 'cause I'm too wiped out to push you into the water," Octavia quipped.

And finally brought the glass up for a sip.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer laughed softly. "Should I take you downstairs, just to be safe?"

[okteiviakom]

"Safe from being pushed into the water?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Yes," Lucifer said, grinning. "And safe to have a snuggle."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia made an amused noise as she brought the glass up again.

"Guys only want one thing," she quipped. "Snuggles."

[my_own_advocate]

"From you? Yes," Lucifer teased. "The snuggliest human in all the universe."

[okteiviakom]

Snort.

"Feel like you might've gotten me confused with someone else."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer wrapped his arms ever so slowly around her waist. "Oh no," he said, "I know exactly who I've got."
