@GarbageFanatic brunt of the spoils that had been taken now. )
you know... you could've allowed me to help carry these, dear- you carried me around before, so the courtesy was at least earned..
@GarbageFanatic your secrets are all safe with me, i promise you.
( whether it was true or not didn't matter currently. the sincerity remained regardless, the determination an undercurrent to hammer it home.
they were finally inside of stelle's room however, and black swan observed the full
× i do think (if capable) i will be making an alt specifically for this account.... himeko's has way too much specifically tied to her, so i'd prefer keeping everything separate hehe-
@ASHENREBlRTH his piercing gaze almost felt unsettling against her skin, but she maintained her composure. she was used to being regarded by others like this.
"exactly! as i expected, you would be one who understands the ways in regarding a task being handled. how pleasant."
"i'm not exactly like the rest of them."
there's an edge to her voice, like the comment rubbed her the wrong way, eventually however her smile returns.
"sometimes properly collecting memories takes a... different approach, wouldn't you say?"
“ there’s never a guarantee things will go in my favor , so to adapt is the only option . “
auric hues drag over that of the memokeeper , brows furrowed as crown shakes .
“ not at all . i’m simply … curious . rarely do your people make themselves known . “
@GarbageFanatic her tone. )
it's... hard to turn away your confidence and sincerity, dear stelle.
( another gentle laugh, following behind in haste to ascend the stairs. )
but regardless, i'll do my best to maintain that confidence, i assure you.
@GarbageFanatic ( stelle's ability to flip between serious and whimsy on command was hard to adapt to, and it showed when black swan was suddenly caught off guard once again.
whether she truly felt so confident in herself was irrelevant currently, mostly thanks to the nameless' conviction in
( acheron was close so suddenly that it had black swan's eyes widening in surprise. but she didn't falter, at least not outwardly. )
you are... more touch-starved than i believe even you realize...
( with their foreheads pressed together, one might miss the private smile she
( The rangers eyes simply stare, a slight shock filling her face, it wasn't apparent that such words could hit close to home. after all it wasn't as often to be a reciever rather the provider.
Both hands place themselves over the others cheeks -
@GarbageFanatic ( of course she's teasing, but even at the last remark her own softens. that slight pink resurfacing. )
for what it's worth.... i don't find it pathetic, clothed or otherwise.
@GarbageFanatic ( black swan is hot on her heels the entire time, being certain to move swiftly through the open doorway. to be caught at this juncture wouldn't be ideal, after all. )
my, my. that often, hm? i must say that's incredibly flattering. might end up inflating my ego, at this rate.
loneliness. i suppose it makes sense, a wandering guide, destined to lead the lost when she is rather lost herself.
but you are also kind, acheron. that much i can see clearly.
what do i think of you? well, what an interesting question that is...
( she really seemed to mull it over, going so far as to thoughtfully stroke a hand over the side of acheron's face. )
i think... you are strong. capable, in many ways. but i also look at you and i see...
You're giving me too much credit there, I appreciate the gesture so perhaps I'll reward you with something similar sometime.
( a hint of tease leaving a wide implication that only the mere imagination could comprehend. )
. . What is your view of me ?
@mockingseas she didn't answer immediately, but there's a glint in her eye regardless.
"if it allows others a brief respite.... i'll do it anyway. whether its difficult to handle or not."
i imagine its not difficult for you to do anyway...
( her gaze lowers, noting the way acheron hovers her finger over her lips. interesting... )
do you like being viewed as adorable by someone?
(Her face couldn't help but simply reward such a move by leaning a more into it, a hand simply holding onto her finger.)
Are you perhaps telling me to indulge in such an activity ? here i thought you wanted to gaze at me for yourself—
@mockingseas "allowing others a glimpse into their possibilities is something i do quite enjoy. yes, i file away memories as well, but some need a... bit of a helping hand."
( a few weeks had passed before a response finally came through. black swan was indeed a busy woman. )
📱 to be completely honest, you were the last of the bunch i expected to hear from
📱 however, i am... glad to hear from any of you
📱 rest assured, i'll stop in soon

📱I don't expect a response, ever since you parted ways from the Express after Amphoreus.
