Thank you, have a good day.

...

I have no desire to hurt you, or anyone else. But-- especially not you.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

[pauses to dwell on that]

I could not defend you or your decision in front of my own unit. You understand that, right?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

I would never expect you to put me before your unit.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

Of course not, and I would never dare to.

[runs his hand through his bangs, now that he's done pretending to be a smug ass about everything (for now)]

That situation wasn't pleasant in the least, Cypress.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

No. I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult situation. I cannot promise it won't happen again.

[ a long pause-- then takes a shuddering breath and closes her eyes, hands folded in her lap. ]

I... understand if this complicates things far too much for you, for the future, and I would not fault you for wanting to end things because of it.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

I'm not interested in ending anything.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ opens her eyes again, still looking down at her lap with brows furrowed. ]

... no?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

If I wanted to end our relationship, I would have done it right then and there.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

...

I'm... glad.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

You needn't jump conclusions, Cypress.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ her expression falls, a little, and she bows her head again. ]

... mm. I'm sorry.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

Would you like some breakfast?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ quiet for a long moment, before mumbling ]

... honestly, I was so nervous I don't think I can stomach anything right now.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

This conversation went quite smoothly. I'd say there is no further issue, unless this incident should repeat itself.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ ... but what if it does.

she hunches her shoulders, slightly. ]

Just some water would be fine, I think.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

[with a nod, he fetches her a glass of water and sets it down by her]

Do you know why I have chosen to go without my extra layers?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

... no. Why?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

I am merely going off what you said before. As I recall, you explained that you could feel my body warmth better without the jackets.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ oh.

... she flusters, ducking her head again. ]

You-- want to do something like that with me? After that?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

You make it sound as though I summoned you to end our relationship and lock you up.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

-- it isn't as if I knew what you'd been thinking about, all last night.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

...last night was a source of frustration and confusion.

[a pause]

Holding you would be fine.

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[vitainmorte]

[ hesitant.

but after a moment, she carefully stands, and makes her way around the table to him. ]

... may I...?

Re: day 353, morning after the game

[mourningson]

[he's standing before she reaches him—and nearly looks like he is about to reach out for her first, but stops himself]

You may.
