VARYING KISSES PROMPT

Navia didn't think too hard when Wriothesley took her hand, but it was feeling his lips along her knuckles first that really brought her attention to that specific point of contact where his lips were gently pressing to her skin finger by finger.

Seeing him open up bit by bit as the previous misconceptions that had previously kept her from getting to know the man down in the depths of the Fortress had gotten further and further away, she had truly come to really come to enjoy his company. Shyness had started giving way to security and it was no longer her first initiating affection between them, evidenced by Wriothesley turning her hand slightly and kissing her fingertips individually as well.

After he finished with the pinky she was able to let her hand cup the Duke's cheek and smile a little to herself as her bare thumb felt the traces of stubble coming through since it was close to the end of the day, thinking back to their conversation earlier that week.

   "" the knave has had the courtesy of explaining in detail all of what you have helped with . . . and on behalf of the fatui , i must show our gratitude . "" even more when he was meant to stay on fontaine for the time being as he recuperated .

   a little pause , and a little hum leaves his person just as he thinks on how to proceed . it is soon he continues , however . "" therefore , today i am here in arlecchino's place . what is it you need for my men to do ? ""

   the other's words don't seem to do much to the woman , however . though , before long , the moonchanter is blinking and nodding . "" right . . . "" she isn't a stranger to scars , and to have another one meant little to her . the old ones marked up on the skin of her hands and lower arms showed so ( sometimes , she can hear the people of the scions and even animals talk about them , worrying about her : while it comforted her to know they cared , it still upset her to know that her actions had upset them right back . even if she did so for no other reason than helping others ) .

   "" thank you . "" it just so happened to be one of the times that lauma went to check on the other , bring her some fresh food as well ; a cut on her finger being made as she set down the basket she brought with her .

   there's nothing she can do about it , now . "" . . . any particular reason why you're not in the fortress , duke ? "" she isn't good at conversation , but she would feel bad to leave it with just her previous comment . might as well toughen it up for a little , and not fall out of any good graces she might have with the other ( though , considering their previous interactions all the way before the prophecy happened . . . she isn't sure if there is any ? ) .

mayhaps for wrio @ navia?
