Brr. Talk about getting the cold shoulder...

Well, when Marmar and Kaito did it for me... It was affection? Like hugging and kissing. The contact was important, yeah, but that's what I remember from it.

[frostfist]

[ record scratch ]

Kissing?

[ignoreher]

Kissing! Just my hands though, where they hurt.

[ kissing injuries.................. ]

[frostfist]

[ thank you mods for giving us this trope ]

Noted. Is this how you plan on to wrangling a hug out of me?

[ignoreher]

I'm so sure you give good ones, Wriothesley. It's all I think about when I'm with you. How warm and snug it'd be...

[ the yearn is off the charts for a hug ]

[frostfist]

[ OKAY THEN ]

I'm certain that's an exaggeration.

[ignoreher]

[ stop edging affection ]

Maybe a little!
It's not all the time, just when I'm feeling a bit lonely. You're one of the people I don't feel guilty over bothering about pretty much anything.

[frostfist]

I'm flattered you feel that comfortable around me.

[ no really, he is. ]

How about this then? I'll come find you when I'm feeling better, and we can knock that one thing off your wishlist as payment for you keeping me company right now.

[ignoreher]

[ the list is shorter than people might think, it's true. exclusive club here with wriothesley. ]

You're being real sweet. What's the catch? Think it's just a one time want and I'll be satisfied after I get it?

[frostfist]

I would never expect you to be satisfied so easily.

[ in both the realm of hugs and other things. ]

But I have faith in your ability to draft up a convincing argument on why it'd be worth my time to offer you more hugs in the future.

[ignoreher]

[ thinking how differently this thread would go if she was into him like that ]

I'll get started on it! But my opening statement is that I'm very, very nice to hold. I fit perfectly into the arms of anyone who wants to try. A real natural at being embraced!

[ probably. she just relaxes easily into hugs... makes it easy to fit like puzzle pieces. ]

[frostfist]

And your [ is there even a good term for this ] crownd of admiring suitors won't mind?

[ look man, he doesn't want to get caught up in any drama. also verg already thinks he's wishy-washy enough. ]

[ignoreher]

[ her suitors.... ]

Why should they? But if they give you any trouble about it, I'll set them straight.

I don't think they're the jealous type (well, Kaito might be) but I mean, we're just friends. If they're threatened by this, then what else would they be threatened by?

[frostfist]

[ her suitors and my typos, augh. ]

Even so, I'd rather not complicate things for you. You did say you've had enough of an eventful month to last you some time.

[ignoreher]

Don't worry about it, Wriothesley. It won't complicate anything at all -- if anything, it'll make things crystal clear.

[ one time she can forgive... but after that it's harder; third time's the charm only applies to chances you give yourself, not chances you give to others. ]

But if it makes you feel better, it doesn't need to be a public affair. What they don't know won't hurt them, right?

[frostfist]

So you're saying we should meet in your room for an illicit hug rendezvous.

[ignoreher]

It's your place or mine, buddy. And only one of us has a suitor down the hall.

[ might she! remind him! ]

[frostfist]

[ this is still such a dangerous thing to talk about when he is still (redacted) ]

How do you know I haven't also picked up a suitor down the hall?

[ignoreher]

You wouldn't tell me even if you did, but we both know I do. So unless you'd like to speak now and we can grab a hotel instead...

[ now she's back to playing around. sorry. ]

[frostfist]

[ UGH ]

I don't.

[ just to make that clear. ]

My room it is then.

[ignoreher]

[ if he told her she'd back off!!!!!!!! but how are you gonna say "sorry i got surgery and it made me so horny i can't think straight". i get it. you can't. there's too much. ]

Great! I'll bring snacks when you're feeling better, so what pairs well with your favorite? Shortbread? I really like those little jam-filled ones too, with the flower designs where the filling makes up the middle... they're so cute.

[frostfist]

[ one day he'll tell her and they'll laugh about it but for now? yeah, no. ]

Shortbread sounds perfect. Though you'll have to tell me your favorite tea as well so I can prepare it.

[ignoreher]

I haven't found a favorite-favorite yet, but I do love more floral tastes! Like rosehip and the cherry blossom tea they had during Hanami. I think I'd like to try... lavender next.
The chamomile you suggested really helped, by the way! I've been sleeping easier since I started having a cup before bed.

[ easier doesn't mean out like a light, but. easier. ]

[frostfist]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ time to sift through his stash and see what he has. ]

And that's good to hear. [ although.... ] Has it always been a problem for you, having trouble sleeping?

[ignoreher]

... I don't know if it's always been this way, but it has here. I didn't need to sleep back in the City.

[ did elijah have issues, too? or could she close her eyes and be out in seven? ]

The Library took care of all our needs so we could always be on call (though we could take naps and eat for fun, basically) and even in my job before I hadn't required it.
