a wince is what follows the departure of the duke, the cabaret owner and his new friends from her boudoir, taking a deep inhale before he turns back to face her. "...in my defense, i didn't realise you didn't know who i was until...it was a little too late." it might be true, but he suspects it makes the situation no less uncomfortable nor difficult to deal with. his arms hang heavily and awkwardly against his sides, scouring his mind for something else to say. "i know that sounds ridiculous but...i really - i really am...incredibly sorry. i just wanted to meet you." pause, "as well as tell you about our show."

❝ i just think this is an excuse for you to kiss me. ❞ manny giggles, failing to suppress the smile tugging at her lips. her breath ghosts over theirs, before she closes the distance and steals another kiss. one hand slides into their hair, while the other settles on their thigh, tugging their leg closer. ❝ you don’t need practice. ❞ she murmurs as her lips trail from theirs to the curve of their jaw, pressing a kiss there before drifting to their neck. ❝ you’re already a pro. ❞
