💋 "Mercedes!" Her hero in the skies, the every merciful winged healer. Her heart swells at her presence, full of gratitude and relief after that horrid experience. Tethys beams up at the younger woman, arms propped on the booth, "This looks fun, care to spare me one?"
She cannot help but beam at Tethys in return- the woman was not only beautiful in every sense of the word, but she was absolutely incredible- never before had Mercedes felt so invigorated, so able in battle, so... useful outside the infirmary. She waves as Tethys approaches, relaxing a bit in her seat.
“Tethys,” she returns, beaming smile turning to more of a playful grin. “It is rather fun, and I would love to offer you one, but...” She hums, a fingertip going to rest on her own bottom lip. “I may have run out of appointments just before you arrived-” She looks to the sun, as if assessing the time before giggling to herself. “Ah, would you look at that! It seems the Goddess has given me a tad bit of extra time before my evening prayers, so I believe I can manage one last smooch before I leave!” she says, clearly teasing about the whole endeavor. Still, she leans forwards, a hand going to the older woman’s cheek before gently pressing their lips together for a few moments before pulling away slightly, only to lean back in and kiss her nose. She pulls away, giggling to herself.
“I pray that was as fun as you had hoped,” she offers, and then her smile softens. “But truly- thank you for your help then. Some of my memories remain hazy, but you- you are incredible. I am glad your help made me of use in that battle, able to help more people. Thank you.”
