[... well, see, that just makes her exhale slowly.]
Fuck. [she says, and then she laughs, a hiccupy little noise, leaning up to kiss him against the jaw.] I - not fuck, just! That was intensely romantic, babe.
[for her, anyway.] ... I need to tell you, though, I - I'm sorry. For all of this. For not telling you.
[ it was??? well, no surprise reflects on his face because he's good at hiding it, but -- apparently that was romantic! huh. well.
he glances down at her the best that he can, though, and then huffs, feeling a wash of fondness before he closes his eyes again. ]
If it makes you feel any better, I didn't trust any of you, at all, from the start. [ this is a little dryly. ] That never stopped me from enjoying spending time with you, or from getting to know you, either. I can't say that it surprised me.
Similarly, though. I can't say it surprised me either, that you wanted to help. So, apology accepted. [ the difference between lup and 'wrath', isn't it?
she'll hear his voice soften a bit, after that. ] ...I can say without a doubt that I've never met anyone like you before, Lup. [ the people in great liang are wonderful but also. kind of boring! things you learn through inter-dimensional travel murder games. ] So, I'm glad we met, as well.
[she curls her fingers a little more tightly, closing her eyes. it's not burning and it won't hurt, but the flame half of her is bright and alive, the cracks in her skin glowing. as always, it's hard for her to not feel as much as she does.]
Thank you.
[for a lot of things. it's really all she can manage to say.]
