              “  Very well!  This once, I yield!  “

Lorenz throws his hands up in the air like he ‘just does not care,’ (although, in truth, he cares very much and it’s tearing him apart.)  He lowers them slowly, defeated. and clutches one against his chest over his heart before offering Sylvain a half-bow.

              “ Please, I implore you,  let me in on your secret!  Your ‘dating-hacks,’ as it very much were.  “ 

Despite asking for advice, Lorenz doesn’t shut up and listen.  He keeps blabbing, lips screwed into a scowl and brow furrowed as though THIS IS THE HARDEST THING HE’S EVER DONE. 

              “  NOT that I need any help, it is merely a nobleman’s duty to gather as much relevant intel and information as possible before making his move and as much as I balk at confessing it—“

He balks, sighs. 

“ When tomorrow comes , I’ll be on my own . Feeling frightened of things that I don’t know . When tomorrow comes , tomorrow comes . . . when tomorrow comes . “

For once , she was projecting whilst she sang . Of course , being watchful with how loud she was -- Leana allowed herself to relax , and lose herself in her music . She truly had no idea that someone was listening .

head  turns  to  a  familiar  voice   /   ah   ,   sylvain.   it  is  of  no  surprise  to  you  when  his  voice  sustains  little  to  no  subtly  at  all   /   yet  ever  still  your  patient  eyes  simply  watch  his  antics.   his  hand  slithers  itself  into  your  own   &   fingers  interlock   /   perhaps  the  coldness  of  the  moon  is  the  front  you  wear   (   but  underneath   /   a  warmth  like  the  sun  breathes  into  you   /   it  feels  of  love   /   it  feels  of  life   ).   he  too  knows  of  this  warmth   /   you  see  it  in  the  way  he  smiles.  the  fact  his  eyes  do  not  drift   &   fear  of  abandonment   /   he  looks  at  you  as  though  he  has  found  the  one   (   &   perhaps  your  tired  eyes  don’t  look  it   /   but  you  know  that  you  recriprocate  those  feelings   ).

Light footsteps -- she approached the other with caution . What had happened the day before , it was troubling to say the least -- but she hadn’t exactly handled it very well . Hands behind her back , she averted her gaze out of shame .

He was close -- TOO close . A shaky breath , hands curled into fists out of fear . She could hear it now -- her inner voice telling her to run , to hide , to scream . She held it all back , but her reflexes kicked in .

thats fair! go ahead!
