            〝  i won't let you experience that kind of pain ever again ＂ she reassured in a gentle tone as she combed her fingers through his hair〝  it might be selfish of me to request,  but please just stay with me for now..  knowing you're home will let me sleep easier.. ＂

"  me too..  i-  maybe i shouldn't have gone there,  i felt helpless i wasn't able to do anything.  " ⠀a small frown appears.  the mere notion of it breaks him,  he wouldn't know what kind of excruciating ache another loss would cause.  thank goodness that wasn't the case. ⠀"  i'll make up for the lost time..  i swear.  "

            making sure her metallic hands were warm,  she gently cupped ivor's face with a relieved sigh of her own〝  i'm just glad it's all over.  i was worried you might have gotten hurt while you were in nexus.  but it looks like it was the opposite thankfully ＂ she briefly leaned over to kiss his cheek〝  it scared me thinking we weren't going to make it.  i didn't want to leave you alone again.. ＂

            all that could be heard from estelle was a quiet hum in response to his lustful words.  she understood this must have been a new experience for the brunette,  but she at the same time didn't want to scare the other into being too overly concerned for her own wellbeing instead of indulging himself in this moment〝  you don't have to apologize for anything ivor.. ＂she finally uttered as her tongue briefly peeked out to swipe along the bottom of her lip.  the taste of ivor on her lips made her internally want more〝  would you like for me to take over instead?  i promise we'll go at your own pace ＂ she offered,  trying to encourage and reassure the mechanic that she was alright with them continuing

ivor felt awful,  how could he not?  this seemed selfish of him.  as her lips parts with a slick tune,  the massive cock is prominently moistened and erect,  looming obscenely above her beautiful face. ⠀"  i'm sorry,  i don't want you to do this because..  i said it out of the ordinary.  " ⠀calloused hand extended,  his thumb had pressed to her lower lip──gently prying it apart as his cock grinded against the petals. ⠀"  i don't know what's gotten into me..  " ⠀he breathed,  slow and heavy with need. ⠀"  seeing you like this feels just right..  and yet,  it's wrong for me to.  " ⠀smearing the pre–cum across her fervent lips and cheek,  the veiny length idly slapped upon her newly tainted visage.

            a hum could be heard from her,  the vibrations transferring to his shaft before she briefly pulled away at hearing his words〝  sorry..-  was i rushing too much? ＂ she asked while looking at ivor from her lowered position,  trying to closely examine his features for any signs of discomfort.  estelle let her cheek rest against his inner thigh,  giving it an apologetic kiss as a hand gently held onto his own that wasn't pressing against her head

            estelle took notice of ivor's frown〝  they're actually here with me right now if you want to see them ＂ she said in an attempt to brighten his mood,  setting her phone onto the table in the party car she was in before angling it so it showed the two small avatars who were comfortably in her hold〝  they've been following me around ever since you left.  i think they're just looking out for me on your behalf,  which is adorable ＂

"  oh... :(  the little ones.  i miss them too..  " ⠀he'd frown towards the camera,  and he couldn't help but feel down.  maybe he was missing out on a lot of stuff back there?

            〝  it's astonishing that nexus has managed to become so popular then.  but it's also admirable how the planet managed to pick itself back up from the rubble and be rebuilt into what it is now ＂she said with a nod in agreement towards ivor's words〝  it's proof to others at how resilient the people there can be ＂

"  back then?  well..  " ⠀rubbing his chin in thought,  ivor would reminisce to the extent of what he could recall which was a bit limited;  given the incident. ⠀"  it was full of discourse,  and..  it was rundown.  usually just a place known for its scraps.  it was like a run—down planet.  " ⠀he expressed,  a nod followed to concur to one's own statement. ⠀"  they haven't progressed well in that era,  though it looks like they heavily relied on the aetherdrift and it became a sole purpose that brought everyone to make the planet a universal hit for sure!

            〝  you can do whatever you feel is right,  i won't stop you ＂ her expression softened upon seeing unsure stature,  choosing to give a chaste kiss on his forehead to reassure him〝  ah,  i remember that race.  i watched it with the others.  haha,  you even managed to gain some fans too  ＂

"  well it's a problem if i went there with my regular fit.  " ⠀an awkward glance,  the male would rub his nape..  as if unsure while the helmet is adjusted. ⠀"  i..  won a race there before,  so⸺  i'm not risking it; ;  "

            〝  i understand where you're coming from,  but i feel as though you wearing your regular outfit will let you blend in better than a full suit of armor ＂ she said with a small laugh while adjusting the helmet on ivor's head〝  but if you want to wear it,  then who am i to stop you? ＂

            her lips were pressed thinly together in thought as if she were trying to think of every possibility out of worry for the brunette's wellbeing〝  promise you'll come back safe and sound alright? ＂ she requested while holding onto ivor's hand with both of her own〝  i've heard about how dangerous it can be in nexus.  so please make sure to look out for yourself ＂

"  i think..  hm-  " ⠀pausing,  he would recheck his valuables..  and so far,  ivor has packed every necessity. ⠀"  all good sweetheart.  as for money,  i think himeko's got it covered for me...  you know how loaded she is haha.  " ⠀a light chuckle arose.
