@AramisPourTous ~ much. She had a *plan*.
Which consisted basically in copying Chase's movements while in the water, only with her hands and feet. The first step was laying face down against the surface.
Come on.
Any moment now.
... go on...
@AramisPourTous “Are we still talking about swimming?”
Her eyebrows danced up and down, only to betray an expression of terror the second her foot slipped against the muddy bottom. No need to fear, however, she was alright, it was all well.
Marinette had decided not to overthink this too ~
You could get in trouble if you took matters into your own hands. Aramis already tried to talk to the king about this; he didn't listen.
I don't want you going against the person you're sworn to because of me.
“I love you, too.”
Window open and fresh water near, no fire going on, a rumour outside that sings of summertime... they'll fight it as best they can.
Marinette kisses his lips softly and brushes his dark curls away.
“Rest now, mi sol. You've earned it.”
Oh, she ...
He seriously does not deserve her.
Watch him follow the invite in a heartbeat. (Alright, a little slower than that, because he /is/ exhausted, but it's the thought that counts–.)
"I love you."
Marinette has made the bed all soft and comfortable, inviting, with only one clean linen sheet on.
And there are sprouts of lavender under the pillow to help sleep catch on.
Pat, pat, on the mattress.
