[ she'd like to say that he doesn't have to avoid her with that face on anymore, that she doesn't think she'll get any better if she's allowed to avoid him, that she doesn't want to even considering her fear, but now doesn't seem like the best time for them to have serious discussions about their relationship and trauma,
so she waves her hand in such a way that he can see faintly - now that the weather's warmed enough that she doesn't need gloves, on her left hand, at the base of her ring finger: a white jade band, red insets stark against her pallor, and meets his eyes with a warm, if somewhat anxious smile.
any closer and he'd notice she was trembling a bit, probably, but she can thank the darkness for that. ]
[ his own left ring finger carries two rings - the golden band that she gave him, and a white-gold band as well. with an awkward smile, he inclines his head ]
[ with a shudder she just breathes in. out. in through her nose, out through her mouth, not luxuriating in his scent so much as inundating herself with it, committing it to the face to memory over and over again until it washes the nerves away, leaning into his hand
Just what are you saying - at least in the case of Miss Ilyasviel, I can understand, but Avenger is to be my husband, just like you are my wife. I don't need to be protected from him, nor do I need to be protected from you.
The person I'm seeing in front of us right now is Avenger. The person that he's imitating isn't someone I know. Even if it were the case that it was the person I knew, my first Master - seeing her isn't an unwelcome experience, you know.
