[ While she had gotten used to how Jinwoo tended to run a little cold before, the fact he's actually warm again is something Lapis doesn't mind at all. It did tend to make her a little more sleepier in the mornings, much more sluggish and reluctant to move for a good while. Very much like a lazy cat basking somewhere warm.
So she's still in the midst of sleep as he curls closer to her, unconsciously shifting closer in response until - ]
Ow! [ - Something... hard??? Jabs her in the cheek.
She flinches as her eyes fly open, leaning her head back a little as her sleep-addled brain tries to process what's happening. It takes a moment for her eyes to adjust, but there's. Something on Jinwoo's head? ]
Owwww, what's... tha... [ Just gonna lift a hand and touch it for a moment, she is not awake enough for this. ]
[ it's too early to be awake. He mumbles something along those lines--probably in Korean--under his breath as he tries again to curl in, to hide.
But now there's a hand on his head and while normally, Lapis' fingers on his head, in his hair, felt nice--he was freezing as her hand is touching something above his head, and yet, he can still feel that.
It's an odd sensation, like running a finger along your own teeth--he couldn't feel the direct touch, but rather, the pressure from her fingers pressing down on the object. Attached. TO his head. He's going still, like a deer in a spotlight. ]
[ Lapis can feel him going still, and it makes her squint a little as sleep finally starts to release its grip on her. It's far too early and all she really wants is to curl back into Jinwoo and close her eyes - but something has changed, and it's enough to wake her up.
As her eyes adjust, she can see it's... horns? He has horns? Now she shifts closer, but this time it's to run her fingers over them, to examine them better. Yep, these are definitely real. ]
[ it's still MOSTLY dark in the room, but it's definitely not too dark to make out the shape of small curled horns that were close to his head.
Probably even harder to miss the fact that his ears were also slightly pointed now, sticking out a little furthur than they had been, previously. ]
It's just a bad dream, there's no way I'd be healed of that Vampire issue only to wake up with more monster parts. The Fae aren't that cruel. My luck isn't that bad.
[ Plus Lapis has above average night vision, so once the grog of sleep has lifted, she can now very clearly see.
The horns on his head. This sure is happening. ]
You underestimate the Fae. And I don't need to remind you of how bad it can get.
[ A hand rubs at her eyes as she shifts to sit up a little more. As she starts to wake up, she can sense... something different. Familiar, but not what she would expect to sense from him. ]
... Your ears have changed too. [ Just going to brush some of his hair back, so she can take a better look at these too. ]
You can have good luck sometimes, just not when it comes to this.
[ Reality is a cruel mistress, and he must now face it. ]
Knowing the Fae? Probably, and it might be a permanent one. [ Maybe they thought they were helping? Considering what happened the moment he was free of his vampirism. Or maybe they thought it was funny. The Fae just do what they want, and that includes making sure Jinwoo always suffers.
And seeing his reaction to the horn does make her wonder about exactly how much he can feel through it... A hand lifts, hesitating for a moment since she doesn't want to actually hurt him, before wrapping her fingers around a horn. ]
Definitely not when it comes to this. [ he sighs, witheringly, letting himself go deadweight against Lapis as he tries to pretend everything's fine--honestly, getting horns is fine, just. Here's hoping he doesn't have any hanger-on powers like being unable to touch the sun... ]
It's... weird. Yes, I can feel it--feel you tugging on it. But it's not fullsensitivity. I can feel the pressure on my skull when you tug on it like that--they're. Uh. ...rooted.
But I don't have sensation in them. Does that make sense...? Sort of like.
[ Jinwoo goes deadweight against her, and Lapis shifts so he's laying against her a little more comfortably - one hand absently trailing along his back, while the other examines his new features.
Though that comparison makes her pause, her face scrunching up for a moment. ]
Like teeth. [ As much as that comparison makes her wrinkle her nose a little, it does make sense. So tugging too hard would hurt, in that case, even if he can mostly feel pressure.
In that case, she'll unwrap her fingers and go back to tracing over the shape of one - letting her fingers trail down to the base. There's still some quiet curiosity over how much he can feel - though on that note; ]
Though besides the new additions, do you feel any different?
[ he's going to lie still a little as lapis' fingers continue to draw and trace over his horns. it doesn't feel so bad, actually--maybe even a little nice, as he gets used to it. like someone rubbing behind your ear or something like that. ]
I don't. The sun isn't making me feel sluggish, at least, and --well. Actually.
[ he reaches up, pushing his hair back a little to touch his ears...
[ Good, so no weakness to sun. But there's a blink when he brushes back his hair, head tilting so she can get a better look.
... Ah, pointed ears to fit the demon look. Lapis hums under her breath, merely examining them before a moment - before a finger reaches out to trace over the shape of them. They're actually a little - ]
- Cute. [ Yes, she has decided these are cute. But beyond thinking that, it does make her wonder about something else. ]
Though besides the shape, has your hearing changed at all?
[ he gives the tiniest of shivers when she touches his ears--and oh. yeah, okay, he can tell the shape is different, just based on how her finger ghosts over a part of his ear that wasn't there yesterday. so weird... ]
No, I don't think so. It's the same as ever.
...
[ he reaches up to pinch the edges of his ear, just to be sure. ]
...It's my luck again, I know it. I lose one curse and gain another.
[ Lapis sees that shiver and there is the creeping urge to do some mischief. But it's still early and he's clearly going through it, so she tightens her arms around him - a hand shifting so she can trail her fingers through his hair without the horns getting in the way, nails gently scratching against his scalp. ]
Well think about it this way, you can still go out in the sun. So even if it's another curse, it's still better than the last one.
[ And it doesn't seem like there's much change, beyond cosmetic. And the clearly demonic vibes she's getting from him. ]
It may be your luck again but it's not all bad. And like I said before, the ears are cute.

I can have wishful thinking, can't I. I deserve some good luck sometimes.
[ denial isn't just a river in egypt.
He's struggling to reach a hand up, not wanting to confirm it for himself, but.
His fingernails scrape against the rough surface of one of the curled horns and he immediately pulls it back. That felt terrible. ]
They saw me lose my vampire's curse.
Do you think this is some sort of joke they're pulling....
