โ โโ IT SEEMS I HAD NO TRUE CAUSE FOR CONCERNย !
{ ๐ } HEโS BEEN AVOIDING HER SINCE HIS arrival in Askr, however much it pained him to do so. Gangrel did not mean anything bad by it, and if anything, it was a CALCULATED decision to avoid heartbreak - at least, until he is absolutely certain that sheโs the one. Heโs not simply going to allow this to hang in the air, however. While Say'ri may be forthright, Gangrel is, at the heart of things, a thief and a scoundrel. Lucky Askr, bearing a collection of thieves and scoundrels already! Already intending to bribe Gaius for information, heโs spoke with Matthew as well โ โ Gangrel doesnโt trust Claude in the slightest, but, well, theyโve spoken with each other for better or for worse. Gangrel is going over his plans in his head โ FIRST mistake! For a familiar voice calls out to him. Heels swiveling to meet her gaze.
โOF COURSE I KNOW WHO YOU are! Why wouldnโt โโ An utterly innocuous, completely safe statement; why wouldnโt he know her, yes? Hands fiddle with the hem of his glove, awaiting some form of KILLING BLOW, and yet โ it doesnโt arrive, bright hues of garnet widening. Lips part, and to truly answer her question, Gangrel throws his arms around Say'ri, lifting her a good inch off the ground. โOh, what a RELIEF that itโs you!โ
ย ย Naturally, she had been prepared for potential confusion or disbelief; after all, the chances of this being the Gangrel she confessed to was fairly low. Why, were it not for the fact she had already steeled herself when it came to confronting the man she knew to be her lover, Sayโri might not have approached him to begin with. Now that the question was finally out in the open, however, she could only nibble at her lower lip rather nervously as hazel eyes watched his gaze widen. That, to her, could have meant many things, yet before any words could slip past his jaw, she immediately senses a familiar pair of arms encircling her waist and lifting her sandaled feet off theย GROUND.ย causing an abrupt gasp to emerge from her throat. What she hears next, on the other hand, proves enough to calm her down.
ย ย ย โ Z-Zounds, Gangrel! โ Sayโri exclaims, allowing her own hands to begin clinging to his back for dear life.ย โ You near gave me the fright of my life! I-Irregardless, I too am relieved. This whole entire time, my heart was filled with both longing and apprehension, for I knew not if you were genuinely the one I was seeking, โ sheโll proceed to admit, before softening her gaze.ย โ Gods, how I have dearly missed yourย WARMย embrace! Are you faring well in Askr? โ
