Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ 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. ]

Good evening.

Let's do our best, okay?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ 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 ]

. . . Right. Let's do our best.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

... Can you come a little closer?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ rubbing the back of his neck for a moment, before he walks closer ]

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ just plants her face right in his chest and takes the hugest inhale humanly possible




this close he can tell she's shaking a bit, of course, but it could be the situation just as much as it could be him. I mean. you know. ]

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ you know.

taking a moment, before dipping his head down and petting her hair ]

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ 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

muffled, ]

. . . Thank you.

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ he keeps stroking her head, her hair, even after she relaxes, and he breathes in when she speaks ]

. . . Of course.

[ before he kisses the top of her head, briefly ]

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

I'll do my best - to keep you safe too, okay...?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

. . . It's going to be alright.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

I'll accept it. I'll accept all of it, so I'm not really worried. But...

[ he can feel her head turn slightly beneath his hand, inclining a bit towards Iri's direction ]

You, and Illya...

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ with a short huff! ]

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.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ softly, ]

... But, that girl there - she's from the same series as your first Master, isn't she...?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

Like I said - in the case of Miss Ilyasviel, you can be worried about her.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

Seeing her again, like this... is that okay?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

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.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

I know. Because she was someone that you loved a lot, so I wanted to know - um...

... Maybe I didn't say it right... it's just Doodle, so I'm not really worried about the things you'll see, but I was worried that you'd get lonely...

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

. . .

I'm not lonely.

Not at all.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ ducking out from under his hand to try and kiss him, just lightly, chaste ]

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ reciprocating, just as light. kisse ]

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

So -

I'll keep you safe. Okay?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

[ with a soft laugh ]

. . . You, aren't listening again. Alright, very well.

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

I'm listening.

But we should go now, shouldn't we...?

Re: Beginning

[sancrimony]

Mmmm.

[ with a nod, going for the door ]

Re: Beginning

[constellationprize]

[ trailing behind him, ]

But I guess I'm misspeaking a lot, lately, I'm s -

[ , ]

Um -

It's not that I think... I'm listening, and I believe you, but I think, too... when you feel things like that, and when you get hurt... sometimes it can happen even when the person doesn't notice it, right...? So . . .

[ a pause, ]

Um - but we can talk about that later... let's do our best for Doodle, okay?
