SENDER presses their forehead to RECEIVER'S. // the wives.....the .. they
SHE'LL BE EVELYNN'S UNDOING ONE DAY , THE LOVE OF HER LIFE THAT FOUND HER EVEN IN THE DARKEST AND MOST UNPREDICTABLE OF PLACES . it might even be the only thing that agony actually fears , both the idea of losing senhime and also changing because of having her . senhime made her want to be … somewhat more agreeable . but how can that even happen ? how do you teach a demon to be better ? it's an impossible feat , surely — and yet the notion didn't seem so ridiculous anymore whenever evelynn would find herself in the queen's company .
she's grown soft & her edges have dulled — she's no longer the butcher knife she has spent a millennia being .
“ i will see you again soon , ” the words come softly , a promise spoken where nobody but them could hear & that's washed away by the sound of the sea crashing against the sand . it's almost funny , to put so much weight onto a reunion when they both quite literally have all the time in the world . with a hum , evelynn lifted a hand and touched her palm to senhime's cheek ; gazing at her with eyes far too soft . “ … so you better do whatever work needs doing in advance . i expect you to be totally unburdened by the time we next meet . or i shall have to pry you away from your duties again and cause an uproar among your council . ” as is a frequent occurrence whenever they're to meet . evelynn would be lying if it didn't amuse her how disliked she was among the queen's court .
with a sigh , a smiled tugged onto painted lips as senhime leaned her forehead against agony's — eyes daring to shut for just a moment so she might soak up the peace between them . it's nice … a little too nice for evelynn's taste , it almost put her at unease whenever she caught herself being too willing to share in the queen's affection . the hand sitting on their cheek guided them closer after a while , lips planting a kiss upon lips with an obvious reluctance to part . but alas , she had no choice . “ go on then , begone with you my love . and do think about me , won't you ? ” the request comes with a chuckle as evelynn parts , taking a step back away from senhime despite how she wanted her to stay . it's the type of goodbye they're used to , heavy with not knowing when is the next time they'll meet . @tidestre
