@freckledbats​​:  Amour, eager for his particular attention, and his attention alone, climbs into his lap, only in some over sized shirt and underwear, her bedtime wear. She places a small kiss on his lips as a greeting before moving to peck the skin on his neck instead. ( do with this what u may she just wanted his attention 😔 )

     A  HYMN  of static warbled in soprano near the shell of his ear, the late hour speaking to him in  indiscernible  whispers and fostering a complementary atmosphere for the shadows carpeting the floor – ghosts of the past speaking amidst a flurry of  copper petals. seated on the edge of the bed, unblinking eyes stared through the floor and beyond reality’s realm in an attempt to concentrate on the  incessant  drivel. occasionally did a certain word surface above the  discordance  with a voice that begot a  pang  of familiarity within him but no epiphany was had in its wake. not unlike an  intrepid  captain sailing into the eye of the storm, studious concentration on the gibberish’s disharmony led him  deeper  and  deeper  into the Void’s residual remnants until the  collective  sound swathed him in a blanket of enigma. for several long minutes, it was all he knew until her newfound presence  delivered  him from the  penetralia  of the great abyss.

     she  tethered  him to the present and for the time being, the intelligible voices were  swallowed  by the tides of white noise.

     covetous  hands were quick to  welcome  her into place, slowly gliding in tandem along her thighs before ducking under the shirt’s loose fabric and fitting themselves around her waist as if they belonged nowhere else. any risk of distraction became  dulled  by his sprawling influence on their surroundings as handcrafted  constellations  were etched upon her back,  intricate  designs crafted by the gentle drag of fingertips across her skin’s open canvas. the Void could call and beseech him to answer but there existed a  worthier  candidate for his attention; categorically, she was better company.  in lieu of the  unpalatable  alternative did shadowed eyes find hers, much kinder than the look they had given to the Void and far more taken with what he saw. the  dichotomy  between their appearances and inherent natures was never lost on him and yet, a  blind  eye was always turned towards its truth; they could only exist in the  moment, never further.

      his touch  ascended  and aligned his arm with her spine, drawing her closer against him in an extended embrace before lifting her higher off his lap and twisting to lower her backwards onto the bed. legs were guided further apart as a  chaste  kiss was pressed against the side of her knee, soon to be followed by another that was bestowed  lower  down her thigh and another that arrived even  lower. only when the sensation of the last kiss faded away did he finally move himself higher up along her body,  tenderly  cradling the side of her face as stray hair was thumbed away from her features. 

                                                                        ❝ 보고싶었어요 ❞

     the sentiment was murmured beneath a breath, a  secret  shared between them and far from the abyss’ reach. in spite of its  foreign  vernacular, the way that their lips met should have left little doubt in her mind as to what its translation would have expressed.

a  white  suit  ;    pristine  ,    fingertips  flecked  in  red  ,    wiped  off  haphazardly  with  a  cloth  to  be  discarded  like  the  body  doll  laying  across  the  wooden  floor  .    his  gaze  doesn’t  wander  away  from  carmen    (  it  very  rarely  does  )    ,    a  m̶e̲̗m̘̻͍̰e̢̲͎̮n̳̝̘͟t͍͓̬o̸̺̕  of  a  time  that’s  long  passed  .    treasured  .

“ THAT WAS ... eloquent. “ to the surprise of most people , perhaps , but not vaniel. she knew better than many that daxton was a mixed bag , a perfectly unexpected creature entirely. when their mind was clear and open , words seemed to come easily to them , but that was a rarity few had the chance to witness - they were troubled , and lonely. their mind seemed to have its own agenda half of the time. it was best not to question these bouts of lucidity , but take them in stride , and that is what vaniel intended as she pulled them a bit higher up on her lap. 

“when a humble bard... graced a ride along... with the jett of...”  there’s a pause, during which elsie shifts on her bedroll and props herself up onto an elbow to look towards her traveling companion.  “where are you from?”

          With reluctance, Celine forces herself to relax. She doesn’t know what to do in Carmen’s company- they aren’t supposed to be here, and she can’t tell how they got here. The two entrances to her little pocket of the world remain locked or unknown; if they came through the latter, she’s surprised he didn’t fall through the floorboards by now.
