Solitude would be something you will decide on your own terms, not imposed on you.
[Five centuries is a very long time to be with someone - enough for him to know that he would always want a place by her side, human or divinity or anything in between. Unfortunately he isn't exactly sure how to say this in a Nice and Reasonable Manner, because he is very ??????? at the enormity of this realization, having only known when she'd left the Palais.
He lifts a hand, to stoke her hair, tucking her head under his chin.]
You already know what I was like - what I am like. You have me for as long as you want. What you are does not matter. [He makes an amused sound.] You would filch my share of confectionery all the same.
[ it is like water rushing from a burst dam, the relief that washes over her, sudden and all encompassing. briefly she forgets how to breathe and lets out a long, trembling exhale as all the tension bleeds from her limbs.
'you have me as long as you want. what you are does not matter.' it is hard to put into words how much it means to hear that, how quickly to eases the fears running rampant in her head. somewhere in the back of her mind she already knew and chided herself for her doubts. no matter the world or life, neuvillette will always be neuvillette. her closest ally, her dearest iudex, her sweet dragon.
slowly, slowly the trembling leaves her and her breathing begins to even out. ]
Forever, then. [ she does not want a world where he is not by her side. if she is doomed to live out her days in this city, better it be at his side (at wriothesley's side) than alone. ] And you buy too much and it is waste to leave such sweets uneaten.
That much sugar is not good for you. Feed it to Wriothesley.
[There's no heat behind it, though, as he pets around for one of the blankets (He has about five scrunched up on the couch.. One of them has cartoon otters on it.) to drape over her shoulders. This is to distract from the inane urge to ask her to marry him.]
This city gifted me the inert Hydro Gnosis on the day of my birth.
Well if you won't savour them with me, I might just have too.
[ it goes without saying that she would regardless, with how close they have gotten since their arrival here. she is relieved for the blanket he drapes over her shoulders, relieved that he isn't trying to shuffle her back to her own bed. there is no way she'd be able to sleep if she went back now, anyway.
she'd much rather be here, enclosed in neuvillette's warmth where it is safe and the world makes just a little bit of sense. ]
Oh, it did? [ leaning back she tries to get a good look at his face, her eyes a little red and puffy from tears. ] I wonder why, it is of little use now.
