“ It is a rare thing to share silence with someone and feel lighter for it. ”

He does not look at her. But a subtle ease settles in his shoulders.

[‍ ‍f𝑙𝒆𝒔𝒉 ‍ ‍ᵂᴵᴸᴸ ‍ ‍𝒇𝒂͡𝒅𝒆 @roostofpain]

He turns his head slightly, watching her profile in the silver light. His hands rest on his knees, still.

A firefly lands on the bench between them, then lifts away.

Quietly, he speaks, almost to himself.

Iris smiled faintly at the shared sentiment , then remained quiet . For once , she did not feel compelled to fill the silence that sat between them . She simply sat there , hands folded neatly atop her lap .

" It has been some while since quiet has felt. . . peaceful ." —

Yes.

In case someone attacks you, I needed to be on guard.

Looking at me...?

[‍ ‍f𝑙𝒆𝒔𝒉 ‍ ‍ᵂᴵᴸᴸ ‍ ‍𝒇𝒂͡𝒅𝒆 @roostofpain]

I wasn’t sleeping.

I was just looking at you.

[𝕾𝖞𝖑'𝖛𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖘 𝕾𝖟𝖆𝖗𝖗 @diabolodilectus]

Did you sleep well? I hope the mattress wasn't too soft or too hard.

“ I find I do not mind yours either. ”

[‍ ‍f𝑙𝒆𝒔𝒉 ‍ ‍ᵂᴵᴸᴸ ‍ ‍𝒇𝒂͡𝒅𝒆 @roostofpain]

He hesitates, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. Then, a rare, genuine nod.

“ . . . Alright. ”

He moves to the bench, sitting at the opposite end, close enough for company, far enough for courtesy. He looks at the stars.

Iris regarded Dettlaff for a moment , and made no move to venture to the bench quite yet .

" You need not stand watch on my account , Dettlaff ." Iris said softly .

" Sit with me? " she gestured to the bench , and walked herself towards it .

Good morning.

I’m not pursuing such a goal.

Does that annoy you?

So you are trying to irritate me.

I know such a place.

It’s quiet and secluded.

He inclines his head, a quiet acknowledgment. The fireflies drift between them.

“ Kindness is not rare. Sincerity is. ”

He gestures to the stone bench.

Iris studied Dettlaff with quiet contemplation , then met his gaze when he looked her way ; in the softening of his gaze , her own mirrored it .

" No questions , no judgement. . ." she said , softly .

" You offer a stranger a rare kindness , Dettlaff. . ." a brief pause.
