don't flatter yourself. you were just convenient. / paloma from lucci (@leop4rdo)
@leop4rdo! 🌸
the sand is warm and the sun is bright. beyond that the seas stretch out forever and forever as if that's all there is. the scent of the ocean wasn't for everyone, but she found hidden comfort in it, a solemn reminder of what she had done everything for, her actual purpose.
how far and for how long had she walked? a hermit crab scuttles in front of her path and into the waters not far from where she stood. there's not a single cloud in the sky, just the beautiful, bright blue. she draws circular motions in the condensation of the wine glass in her hand, it's probably not even cold anymore, not that she entirely minded, it wasn't exactly important.
she originally caught him trailing her in her peripherals, but didn't think much of it, maybe it was because she thought he would just leave eventually, rather than continually pursuing her. it was merely a walk, she had said she was taking anyway. he must've wanted something. after a moment, the blonde turned and faced him properly, stopping in her place.
his words don't elicit any form of reaction from her, it must have had to do with something she had said prior in the room.
" and you were easy . " paloma shrugged. she tilted her head, just staring at him in silence. was she stonewalling him? " i know emotions aren't the forte of cipher pol, but your actions do speak a lot louder than your words . say what you want, call me what you want, i can play the same game . "
