less like you.

    ❝ I didn’t mean to keep you waiting, my darling but here I am. I’m sorry I kept you for so long but I promise the tea is worth it ! Careful, it’s hot. ❞ He offered her one of the mugs in hand and when she freed it from him, he soon seated himself down next to her, careful not to spill his own tea. ❝ Well, we can certainly still look at the stars from here, can’t we ? Besides, I didn’t want you to stand around in the cold so I thought it would be better for you to stay in my tent. Now we can stargaze all we want. Isn’t it romantic ? ❞  

           “ ... thanks. ”

                       carefully, she takes the cup, holding it close to keep her warm.  when had she even become his ‘darling’ ?  eh, really... this was inigo.  she was sure he would call any girl in a ten mile radius his darling.  even though, she didn’t technically hate it... not that she would say that out loud. 

   REGARDLESS of her protests, he couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t actually make the effort to force their hands apart and that itself was enough to make him grin like a fool. ❝ Alright, alright but I swear on my word ! ❞ With that, he let her go and offered her a widened smile. ❝ I’ll go ahead and prepare some tea for the both of us but you’re free to wait at my tent if you don’t feel like accompanying me. I’ll try not to keep you waiting, milady. ❞

    ❝ I’M not only trying to flirt with you but I’m just hoping to spend more time with you ! ❞ He smiled, regardless of her protest but her next words sent him in surprise. ❝ Huh ? Really ?! ❞ Immediately, his smile spread wider and he grasped her hands into her, unable to contain his excitement. ❝ In that case, we can share covers in my tent tonight ! I promise I won’t do anything, my love. You know I am quite the gentleman. Shall we prepare something hot to drink together ? ❞

    ❝ WELL, we’re close enough to get even CLOSER, wouldn’t you think ? Besides, while we share covers, we can also watch the stars together. Doesn’t that sound ROMANTIC ? ❞ 

@sereind 

     ❝ SEVERA, my darling ! Would you like to share covers tonight ? ❞

@sereind || x.

      THE mercenary’s eyes practically twinkled when she actually agreed – and by Naga, he couldn’t believe his ears ! To think that the lovely ice queen decided not to stomp off and smack off his attempts today. His heart was fluttering at the possibility that ladyluck was smiling down upon him this time around. 

      With a widened smile, he rested a closed palm against her open one and before she could even react, he intertwined their fingers together and tugged her closer. ❝ Surely you can’t be too busy to hold onto my hand for a bit, milady ! ❞ Honestly, he was ready to be pummeled in the face but being able to hold Severa’s hand, even for a moment, was a marvelous achievement !

                         the moment his hand met hers, her face heated up, turning a bright red.  the nerve of this guy!  and to think she fell for it!  is this what she got for trying to be nice for a moment?  her heart skipped a beat as he pulled her closer to him and her gaze refused to meet his.  they were holding hands and much too close for comfort... though, oddly enough she slightly ( only slightly ) didn't mind the closeness.  a moment of silence passed as she gathered her thoughts before she stepped back, yanking her hands out of his.

                         " what do you want?  i'm busy. "

                               no matter what, he always managed to want to talk to her when she was trying to get something done.  still, she knew he was stubborn and wouldn't give up until she acknowledged him.  with a sigh, she held out her hand.
