Therrye's sight fell into darkness once more as she felt the dancer's presence on her body shift location. More quiet, throaty noises accompanied the heavy pressure to her lower back, and some subtle twists of her spine and rolls of her back muscles helped achieve some 'pop'. She exhaled another dose of relaxation and almost started cracking up, abs tensing in her muted laughter. It almost felt out of character, but then Therrye didn't know her well enough to be able to say that, did she? "That's... been a minute," she offered in way of explanation for her outburst, a breathy smile on her lips. That particular sensation might as well have never happened before for how far it'd been forgotten.
Though there'd been significant tension in her upper back, it felt wound up tighter within parts of her legs. While she wasn't single-minded about her choices of exercise, the bruiser still fell prey to one of the habits of a brawler: she ended up giving less care to her lower half. Legs got you to the place while the arms did the talking, and when her 'training' had become more focused - one might even say disciplined - no care was given to form great habits for the future. The increased sensitivity of nerves there didn't help, either, so it became more uncomfortable in the way that overstimulation and tickling overlap. Therrye didn't jerk her legs away from Aolieon, but she found it harder to relax as she applied directed pressure, and brought some focus back into her breathing, with an occasional sound of discomfort slipping out. That sensitivity effect increased in intensity significantly on her calves, leading to more twitchy fingers, and then hissed breath when her hands dipped into a band surrounding where her calf had been fractured. There was no lack of efficacy in the strength of Kara's treatment, but the nerves there were still quite angry about the whole matter, and increased bodily activity for healing at the site persisted. It was still rather fresh, after all.
Exhaling in relief once she was past the calves, her ankles and feet were almost a breeze in comparison. Having her legs lifted and ankles rolled was a distinctly odd experience for her - it was quite rare for anyone to control her muscles for her in such a way and to such an extent - even if she didn't fight it at all.
At her tugging, Therrye turned her body, eyelids fluttering to reveal half-dilated whorls, as if she'd been woken from a nap. That wasn't the case, currently, but the mix of relaxation and long-shut eyes brought that on. The fleeting kiss brought notably more attention to the surface, that pull on her chest echoing. Again. Therrye was plenty embodied, and used to identifying sensations of discomfort and pain to check in with how she was affecting everything through training or suffering from battle. Responding with such pointed physical sensations outside of that context was something else. A counter-edge lay against the foreignness of it, as if it was déjà vu, even though that was quite impossible - right? No longer pushing against the sensitive tightness of her hips, calves and thighs, her breathing relaxed again, though it was less restive than it had become while she worked on her back. Still, she let her eyes lose focus to give more attention to Aolieon's hands. It would be a terrible waste to do otherwise.
That focus swept right back when the dancer put her hand on her chest and drew it down much of its length, briefly lidding them before she smiled at the giggling that came forth. Something reminded her, then, of tides, each wave leaving behind its own unique impression upon the sand. That so many layers of emotion had bubbled up from Aolieon felt a bit wondrous, and she didn't seem to be in the throes of some artificially induced high. This was all... her. Wasn't it? Therrye just trusted in it, sweeping away any errant pangs of concern or curiosity. Plenty of chances had risen and fallen for the other Liandri to have chosen differently. That she didn't underscored something meaningful, even if it wasn't quite coherent to her yet.
At the threads of curiosity in Aolieon's glance, Therrye canted her head, the haze of relaxation in her eyes not quite dispelled. "You look rather happy," she observed, her free hand rolling to put the side of her hand against the woman's leg and unhurriedly rub a finger and thumb along its softness. Had she not seemed so engrossed, Therrye would have said something else, but she didn't want to stop her fun. The freedom she heard in those giggles made her want to protect them. At least for a little longer.
