Gris is known to crunch steering wheels — break through the thick of numerous trash beast skulls — with considerable ease. But here, he's gentle; all dawn-light and feather-soft. The gloves have been left at the bedside table. Bare hands encapsulate the Givers' midriff with considerable care. Exploratory, but thoughtful. Calloused fingertips trace the linework as ashen eyes follow, curious.
"Does it tickle?" He asks suddenly, knowing that he'd eek out a chuckle or two if subjected to something like this. Then the bulk of his upper body lowers. Lips brushing soft over the vibrancy of sprawling ink. "How about now?"

@tewwor got me grinning like an idiot at work today ASDFG
a lazy smile stretches across enjin's face as he watches gris embody the definition of a gentle giant, careful with him in a way no one else has ever been. it's nice -- the rough pads of his fingers drifting along the ink, the look in gris' eyes while he takes it in. it's endearing. it's soothing. his eyes feel heavier by the moment, lulled by the tender touch of a man who could easily crush him if he wanted. not that enjin can imagine such a thing, even on the rare occasion they've butted heads.
" nah, doesn't tickle, " he mutters, just about to give in to sleep despite himself when it does tickle. amber eyes flick open to see the blonde bent down, lips ghosting across red and black. suddenly, for no reason in particular, he isn't sleepy anymore. the fog clears, and in its wake is gris' mouth and those hands that grip his waist like something delicate.
rising on one elbow and reaching down to fun tattooed fingers through gris' hair, enjin grins. amber eyes lock with ashen blue. " now that tickled. do it again. "
