“You little-!”

Grand Master caught Blazing Heart’s wrist before her lover could go any further with that sentence.  Blazing Heart tried to yank away, but Grand Master’s grip was too strong as she silently stared at the blue flames flickering around Blazing Heart’s fingers.

“What,” Blazing Heart gritted out.

Grand Master met Blazing Heart’s eyes.  “Your fire-”

“Oh, no, no, no.” Blazing Heart cut her off, pulling from Grand Master’s slackened grip.  “You do not get to act all concerned about me.  Not yet.  We’re still in the middle of a heated argument.”

“But-!  Is something wrong with your flames?”

Blazing Heart flicked her wrist impatiently.  The flames died.  “They do that all the time.”

“Oh.”

Silence, kind of awkward, stretched between them.  Grand Master wouldn’t meet Blazing Heart’s eyes.  Eventually, Blazing Heart huffed a laugh.

“Were you actually concerned?”

“Of course I was,” Grand Master muttered.  Blazing Heart had to think about that for a moment, but then she smiled.

“Well, that’s… kind of cute.”

“You took waaaaaay too long,” Blazing Heart complains once Grand Master finally caps her inkwell and lays down her quill.  Grand Master flicks her girlfriend’s forehead.

“You were sleeping on my lap, how did you expect me to concentrate?”

“Your lap is comfortable.”  Blazing Heart laughed and blinked up at Grand Master with the sort of grin that was just begging to be kissed.  Grand Master gave in to that temptation.

Once she pulled away and Blazing Heart sat up, Grand Master blew on her papers to dry them and rolled them all up into a neat cylinder.  “I’ll give these to Penensio on the way out,” she said, standing.  “Shall we go?  Your choice tonight.”
