EnsTren: *hug*
Edmondia: *snug*
EnsTren: and was about to go an eat
EnsTren: blah
Edmondia: eating is good
EnsTren: doesn't matter, will go a bit later
Edmondia: ah
EnsTren: strange
EnsTren: femme fatals seto
EnsTren: ...some of the same angst the two males setotes have for one thing
EnsTren: but had an image that...seto's sex gets out to the public
Edmondia: uh oh
EnsTren: yeah
Edmondia: ...whoa, Yugi-tachi
EnsTren: also about goz comes out, cause can't avoid talking about he being a shee without talking about how she got that way
EnsTren: oh?
Edmondia: defensive wall
EnsTren: yeah
EnsTren: she tries to keep up the wall for a while though
Edmondia: meant them acting as one
EnsTren: uhm, going to school with the only diffrence is that she now uses the girls bathroom
EnsTren: mew?
Edmondia: well, think of how protective they are of each other, and how wrapped up in Seto's life they already are
EnsTren: which seto won't admit
Edmondia: naturally they're going to become violently defensive of her
EnsTren: but the thing is how many people are going to hold it against her?
Edmondia: you'd get mixed reactions from people
EnsTren: yeah
Edmondia: on the whole, people would probably be rightfully horrified by what happened to her
EnsTren: esp cause she's refusing to become a "propper" girl
Edmondia: mmhmm - and understandably so
Edmondia: so mixed reactions from adults and businesspeople
EnsTren: in america there will be issues and some latin america countries
EnsTren: and possibly renewed attempts to grab her ass
Edmondia: mmhmm
EnsTren: eh... "make you into a real woman" things
Edmondia: is the heseth-verse?
Edmondia: this*
EnsTren: femme fatlaes
EnsTren: cause you don't like them cause they don't have the angst you like
Edmondia: am indifferent to them
Edmondia: no visual appeal
EnsTren: ah
EnsTren: yaoi
EnsTren: or a boy somewhere
Edmondia: that's pretty to imagine, but I can't write yuri
EnsTren: I got it
EnsTren: but see if this happens the world gets taken over much quicker cause seto stops going to school cause she tried but issues and stress and stuff
EnsTren: and is less happy than before
Edmondia: would it really?
EnsTren: yeah
Edmondia: cause SheSeth knows how to deal with that crap
Edmondia: and what to do with men who try and push her around
EnsTren: "We have to take over the world so people will stop upsetting hikari!"
EnsTren: "Hikari won't let me kill them!"
Edmondia: "People will still upset her even if we do take over the world."
EnsTren: "But not like this, husband."
EnsTren: "You were the one that got hit upon in the past after all"
Edmondia: A sigh. "Do you really think any of them are old enough to deal with what this will entail?"
EnsTren: "We were, hikari is. And we can start training them now, prelimernar, arangements."
EnsTren: "And we need to contact people, children though their dreams with the shadow realm. We have an army out there just waiting for us."
Edmondia: "...two years of preparation, at least."
EnsTren: "Deal."
Edmondia: "Agreed."
EnsTren: (Seth was refering to abused children, esp sexually abused ones because that taints them with darkness, puts it in them and makes them hate)
EnsTren: (other people too)
EnsTren: (heh, when they take over, gah the world population is going to plummet)
EnsTren: (and the Duel monster players)
Edmondia: (but of course - they've already got their leading generals and high command right in Domino City)
EnsTren: His queen walked away from him, proud and tall. She obviously wished they could just blow everyone up and start from scratch.
Edmondia: But they needed time to plan.
EnsTren: Though blowing things up was effective and fun the world was very large.
EnsTren: (yeah, just about everyone in the prison system is dead, muslims because they will get violent with the "new" pantheon)
EnsTren: (hmn)
EnsTren: (The strange boy, the pharaoh had all the women and children called out onto the street--the gore that was their families who had attacked cleaned away.)
Edmondia: (?)
EnsTren: (the yamis don't want to kill off everyone in egypt)
Edmondia: (well duh)
EnsTren: (but the large population and the fact that they are muslim (one of my friends is muslim, I have nothing against them) but face it, they are---yeah)
Edmondia: (ah, but not all are muslim, and not all are fundamentalists, either. pragmatists exist in every religion)
EnsTren: (exactly)
EnsTren: (if they don't attack they don't get killed)
Edmondia: (yup)
EnsTren: (the old religions were very... Okay nice gods! I have gods too!)
EnsTren: (*points at the GREEK titans in egyptian mythology*)
Edmondia: (*points at the Romans*)
EnsTren: (mew?)
Edmondia: (Greek gods with new names *snicker*)
EnsTren: (*three windows, loosing track, ADD attack!*)
EnsTren: (yep)
EnsTren: (and a few of their own too)
Edmondia: (heh)
EnsTren: (and min and priapus were considered to be the same god)
Edmondia: (heh)
EnsTren: (heh)
EnsTren: (anyways I can see...atemu is taking off the head covering of a muslim woman)
EnsTren: ("The line of your mother mother's mothers' extends back generations to my first rule. I do not wish to kill you, but I will if you raise hand against me and mine.")
Edmondia: (good line)
EnsTren: (thanks, it's...not as good as I hoped though)
Edmondia: (still v. good)
EnsTren: ("This land is mine once again, I say to you now go walk in the light of Ra. Dress as you like, be as you like, and break no law of mine and fear not what you have before. Your rights are the same as your brothers, husbands, and fathers.")
EnsTren: (Seto's pleading saved the roman ruins.)
Edmondia: (heh - sulking yamis)
EnsTren: (but they can total the vatican!)
Edmondia: (not a smart move)
EnsTren: (I know)
Edmondia: (best way to take over the world is by leaving the people their customs and religions)
EnsTren: ("But only if they organize a crusade")
Edmondia: (the Church doesn't do crusades anymore)
EnsTren: ("Awwwww...")
Edmondia: (we Catholics are a lazy bunch XP)
EnsTren: (wouldn't they do so against the devil rising up?)
EnsTren: (hehe)
EnsTren: ("No! Yami don't total the acropolis! Please!? Come on, we can repair it and it can be a summer palace or something!")
Edmondia: (doubtful - you'll notice how little the Christianity is focused on this these days)
Edmondia: (heehee)
EnsTren: (people are encouraged to worship the kehmetic pantheon though)
EnsTren: (like the neo kehmetic wiccans find themselves scooped up to be trained as preists and presitess)
Edmondia: (heh, yup)
EnsTren: ("Ack no! Bad yami! No sex! No destroying London! I don't care if the Gauls used to live there!")
EnsTren: ("But Hi-ka-ri! They took the limestone away from my ancestor's graves! And disrespected their graves!")
Edmondia: ("That was a long time ago! You can't take revenge on dead people, yami!")
EnsTren: ("Bu-ut!")
Edmondia: ("I said no!")
EnsTren: ("Awwww...")
Edmondia: ("Hmph.")
EnsTren: (hmn...In anchient egypt the ones on the lower egypt (pre unification) believed the soul could be taken care of with just symbols and icons instead of the body)
Edmondia: (hmn)
EnsTren: (shabiti figures, live stock figurines)
EnsTren: (even the person could be a figurine if you named it propperly (if the body was lost))
Edmondia: (ah)
EnsTren: (a little funery shrine, and real offerings could be offered)
EnsTren: (course, the really rich people got the mumification and the whole nine yards)
EnsTren: (kinda what happened to atemu, don't you think? he got this big shrine and the puzzle)
Edmondia: (yeah)
Edmondia: (big shrine with statues that kill people! that's just cool XD)
EnsTren: (hehheee)
EnsTren: (some shrines were like doll house sized)
EnsTren: (though)
Edmondia: (bitty)
EnsTren: (so...yeah heh)
EnsTren: (I can see atemu "acknowledging" that)
Edmondia: (?)
EnsTren: (in the new kehmet pantheon bringing back the idea of funery shrines need only have symbols)
Edmondia: (ah)
EnsTren: (yugi and seth are very...anti slavery)
EnsTren: (but serfs? serfs are POWs force to do hard labour)
Edmondia: (hmn, that could work)
EnsTren: (cause really, the hikaris don't want to kill everyone)
Edmondia: (I imagine they'd let localities run themselves)
Edmondia: (well, naturally)
EnsTren: (and they can't afford to put them in a prison camp sucking up resources)
Edmondia: (my Setote muses are trying to put SheSeto in a girl's uniform - one that is very unflattering)
Edmondia: (she's throwing things at them, including a tub, Godzilla, and Bill Gates)
EnsTren: (heheee)
EnsTren: (*hands her a kitchen sink*)
Edmondia: (SheSeth: *chucks it*)
EnsTren: (heheee)
Edmondia: (aaaaaaaaaand that's one more down for the count)
EnsTren: (*gives many bowling balls*)
EnsTren: (now then how would seto's secret come out?)
Edmondia: (hmn, hard to say)
Edmondia: (she's very very good at hiding)
Edmondia: (and Yugi-tachi wouldn't give her away)
EnsTren: (some fangirl going "I'm having Seto Kaiba's baby!"?)
EnsTren: (maybe?)
Edmondia: (which verse of sheseto, btw?)
EnsTren: (eh...heseto)
Edmondia: (heseto verse?)
Edmondia: (... *snicker*
EnsTren: (he seth)
Edmondia: ("But I'm gay!")
Edmondia: (oh)
Edmondia: ("Yami! Just WHAT have you been up to?!")
EnsTren: (heheee)
Edmondia: (girl in their class, do you think?)
EnsTren: (yeah, or daughter of one of seto's bussiness accociates)
Edmondia: (heh - in japan you can get expelled for getting a girl pregnant, can't you?)
EnsTren: (yeah)
EnsTren: (ohgg...hehhee)
Edmondia: (makes it even more pressing)
EnsTren: (the hearing)
Edmondia: (?)
EnsTren: (the facts)
Edmondia: (...*snigger*)
EnsTren: (you know, to decide if it goes to court or not)
EnsTren: ("I'm a FEMALE")
Edmondia: (ja)
EnsTren: ("No penis. No pregnancy")
Edmondia: (or even just at school to address the accusations O_o)
Edmondia: ("...and who are you, anyway?")
EnsTren: (and someone snitches, yep, seto's a girl)
EnsTren: (and seto made them sign contracts and crap)
Edmondia: (A laser-eyed glare across the conference table. "You're fired.")
Edmondia: ('cause even in her own defense, she no likely squealers)
EnsTren: (?)
Edmondia: (someone snitches that she's a girl, her get pissed, even if it is helpign her)
EnsTren: (I'm thinking the girl who was preggers did)
Edmondia: (squealed?)
Edmondia: (how would she know Seto's a girl?)
EnsTren: (well she "has the right to see him")
EnsTren: (etc)
EnsTren: (school hearing or something)
EnsTren: (she's there as his accuser)
Edmondia: (and... what happens?)
Edmondia: (I hardly think Seto will strip)
EnsTren: (seto shows he's a girl)
EnsTren: (no matter how much we want him to)
EnsTren: (birth cirtif)
Edmondia: "So you attended this school on false pretenses?"
Edmondia: "You don't look much like a girl, Mr. Kaiba."
EnsTren: "You assumed I was male, as did my secretary who filled out the forms."
EnsTren: "And as to my shape it is not my fault."
Edmondia: (Is she in girl form now?)
EnsTren: (no, male)
Edmondia: "How is that possible, Mr. Kaiba?"
EnsTren: (I mean it's early)
EnsTren: (what I mean is, she's not off the drugs yet)
EnsTren: (the horomones)
Edmondia: (wacky timeline)
Edmondia: (I would think it'd be later on)
Edmondia: (so maybe a slight change in the usual body?)
EnsTren: (?)
Edmondia: (her 'male' form has started to round out?)
EnsTren: (a little)
Edmondia: (so her story is that she's just recently been able to get off the drugs)
Edmondia: (okay - timeline wise, she's off the drugs, starting to fill out, and snuggling with Seth. Agreed?)
EnsTren: (yeah)
EnsTren: (so her rar fit (from coming off the horomons) pissed off the chick, and noticed how he was gaining weight)
Edmondia: (okay...)
EnsTren: (also, I wouldn't be surprised if EVERYONE knew seto was a virgin)
Edmondia: (so pissed off girl decides that since Seto's being a brat, she'll knock him off his pissy perch by accusing him of getting her preg - heh.)
EnsTren: (yeah)
Edmondia: (which is a bit unsettling to Seto, because she's yet to sleep with her yami, even - intimate, yes, but no sex)
Edmondia: (Seth is pissed because of the implication that she'd be intimate with anyone else)
EnsTren: (yes)
EnsTren: (anyways, girl I dunno, knows for some reason now that seto is a girl and it comes out)
Edmondia: (but if the girl knows seto is a girl, why bother accusing Seto of getting her pregnant?)
EnsTren: (finds out because of the hearing)
EnsTren: (or meeting)
Edmondia: (so after the meeting, she spreads the news around?)
EnsTren: (yeah)
EnsTren: (seto take her ace out, theres parental testing)
Edmondia: (well, Seto's a girl, and thus destroyed her argument)
EnsTren: (yeah, but why bring out the girlness?)
EnsTren: (anyways the birth certificate)
EnsTren: (either she's a girl or she's a girl that got a sex change, in either case no pregnancy)
Edmondia: (she's definitely a girl)
Edmondia: (and the school officials are all O_o)
Edmondia: "So Miss Kajaki... you claim that Seto Kaiba impregnated you, while Mr. Kaiba claims that this is impossible?"
EnsTren: "What, did he have a double vasectomy?"
Edmondia: A cold chuckle. "Hardly. That would be physically impossible, Miss Kajaki."
EnsTren: "In any case, the school rules that you will be the one kicked out of school due to the information provided."
EnsTren: (for that level of lying?)
EnsTren: (or maybe not, I dunno)
Edmondia: (I think so)
Edmondia: (slander)
EnsTren: (yeah)
EnsTren: "Slander is a vicious crime, Kajaki-san."
Edmondia: "What?! Did he pay you off to say that?"
EnsTren: "There was no need for Kaiba-san to do so. All the proof was in his file."
EnsTren: The teacher lifted up a manilla folder and waved it.
Edmondia: "What?! The bastard got me pregnant!"
EnsTren: "Kaiba-san did not, and I suggest that you cease your slander."
Edmondia: She turned and fixed a furious glare on Seto. "What are you playing at?" she hissed.
EnsTren: "I'm not the one who got knocked up, Kajaki. I have better standards then you and I have yet to find someone that matches up to my standards."
EnsTren: "Once the child is grown enough for a paternity test," she trailed off and smirked coolly.
EnsTren: "You should be getting a subpeona soon," Seto said with a hint of a smile.
Edmondia: "What?!" she snapped, "Are you threatening me?"
EnsTren: "No."
Edmondia: Her eyes narrowed. "You know it was you, Kaiba."
EnsTren: "The paperwork is already done," Seto said with a serene smile, "Abortion could be considered getting rid of evidence. But I can prove it anyway."
Edmondia: She tensed, gritting her teeth, spine straightening. "Is there a reason you believe him over me?" she snapped, addressing the school officals.
EnsTren: "Yes," they said.
Edmondia: "Well, what is it?!"
EnsTren: (I'm thinking she steals the folder, the birth certifcate, and plasters it all over the school)
Edmondia: (yeah, I can imagine - and Seto gets stopped by Yugi first thing the next morning "Um, Seto-kun, we've got a problem...")
EnsTren: "We are under no obligation to say--and if we do so, Kaiba-san will take us to court as well."
Edmondia: "I see," she stated flatly, "Is that all?"
EnsTren: "Yes, goodbye."
Edmondia: "Fine."
Edmondia: And she stalked out in a huff.
EnsTren: (do you think seto would persit in going to school that day?)
Edmondia: (I dunno - maybe)
EnsTren: Seto leisurely followed.
EnsTren: (leaving would be weak and an admitance)
Edmondia: ...you should've let me kill her.
Edmondia: (yes)
EnsTren: (but so would have keep going to the boys bathroom in a way, denial)
Edmondia: (yeah, that day at least)
EnsTren: Slander isn't a good enough reason to kill someone. Besides, she's with child, would you do something as low as that?
EnsTren: (so going to classes and using the girls bathrom--or just holding it)
Edmondia: ...I suppose her actions are out of desperation.
EnsTren: Even if she's probably going to kill it herself.
Edmondia: What?!
Edmondia: Why would she do that?!
Edmondia: (lots of gossip that day)
EnsTren: Jobs, classes, not wanting to deal with it. Though perhaps not, she might have done it already if she was that desperate.
Edmondia: (and the Wall O' Yugi-Tachi introduces itself)
EnsTren: This country has a very low abortion rate. In America she might have already popped a pill or something.
EnsTren: (seto gets to stare at it)
Edmondia: ...these times of yours are strange, my beloved.
Edmondia: (any lewd remarks during lunch will be met with Jounouchi's fist)
EnsTren: (or honda's hair)
Edmondia: (and Anzu can keep the girls quiet)
EnsTren: There is dishonor associated with having a child out of wedlock. Also single mothers would need to struggle to care for a child and a job at the same time. Notice the lack of a solid community.
EnsTren: (some girls might be interested in sheseto)
Edmondia: ...it is not right. Motherhood and children are a blessing.
EnsTren: In China they have a law that one can only have two children because they are overpopulated.
Edmondia: (interested as in 'wow that's weird and cool and let's get to know her' or interested in other ways?)
EnsTren: (a bit of both)
Edmondia: ...in times of trial, yes, but... innocents should not be killed for the mistakes of their parents, beloved.
Edmondia: (I think anyone trying to get near her would bounce off the Yugi-tachi, unless they manage to catch her alone)
EnsTren: Both the mother and the child could suffer without support. Some parents will withdraw support from their daughters for becoming pregnant, leaving them to find jobs on their own.
EnsTren: (maybe anzu smuggles em past the wall?)
Edmondia: (does Seto want to see them?)
Edmondia: ('cause she's figured it out)
Edmondia: (Anzu has, rather - remembered the shopping trip, and it clicked in her head)
EnsTren: (yeah, seto staying waaaaay clear from anzu)
Edmondia: (Yugi's definitely the closest one to her)
Edmondia: (Seto's retreated into her shell for the most part)
EnsTren: (nothing is happening, nothing is going on, everything is normal)
Edmondia: ...disgraceful behavior, he snorted, The family should care for its own.
Edmondia: (except that everybody knows she's a girl)
Edmondia: (but she's ignoring that)
EnsTren: (as always)
Edmondia: (and the idiots are being kept away from her by the Wall)
EnsTren: There are worse things in the world now, yami.
Edmondia: Family always comes first, beloved.
EnsTren: (here's hoping no one graffittis on the wall)
EnsTren: That's why there are worse things.
Edmondia: (heads would be flushed)
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: Blame the victim, yamimine.
EnsTren: That's what's worse.
Edmondia: ...tch. These people of yours are fools.
EnsTren: Humans are cruel. Look at me.
Edmondia: He sent her the impression of a sultry smirk, deliberately misinterpreting her words. If you so desire...
EnsTren: I don't see why you like me like that, you like me as a boy or as a girl? I don't have breasts.
Edmondia: I like you as you.
EnsTren: I don't understand.
Edmondia: Admittedly, I like your breasts rather a lot more than a flat chest, but your mouth looks the same all the time.
Edmondia: Honestly, hikari, haven't you figured out that I'd be attracted to you if you were an overweight monstrosity who only wore mumus?
EnsTren: She looked horrified. Eeewwwww
Edmondia: He chuckled. Yes, a bit ew, but I'd still want you.
EnsTren: Asshole, she muttered without heat, glacing at him with a very small sulk.
Edmondia: He blinked innocently at her. Moi? Dear light, whatever gave you that idea?
EnsTren: Baka.
Edmondia: Bah, you're just jealous.
EnsTren: Because I lack a prostate?
Edmondia: Because you don't have lovely copper hair like me.
Edmondia: He suddenly smirked and slung an arm around her waist. Hikari, how would you like being a redhead?
EnsTren: ...I like your hair on you, she admited softly and reached up to tug on a few of the locks.
EnsTren: And is your hair red naturally or was it bleached by the sun?
Edmondia: ...you know, I'm not actually sure.
Edmondia: I was always paler-skinned than most of the others, though...
EnsTren: Well I like it. And I like your skin, because you look caramel.
Edmondia: Is that good?
EnsTren: Seto fished something out of her pocket and held a small cube of substance wrapped in clear film, almost the same color as Seth's skin. Here.
Edmondia: ...is it candy? he wondered, and plucked it lightly from her fingertips.
EnsTren: Yes, in a way. Mokuba has been having the staff buy cooking caramel and putting it in my pockets to remind me of you. Don't forget to unwrap it!
Edmondia: He beamed at her. That's so cute! And he unwrapped it and gave a cautious sniff. Sticky...
EnsTren: It's not uncommon for it to be melted and to dip apples in it.
Edmondia: Hn... and he gave it a cautious lick.
EnsTren: It was sweet.
Edmondia: He nibbled.
EnsTren: Sticky. Chewy, clinging to his teeth but yummy.
Edmondia: I think I like it.
EnsTren: Seto unwrapped a tiny cube and popped it into her mouth and sucked on it.
Edmondia: ...you'd look pretty in this stuff, hikari.
EnsTren: Hikari blushed prettily.
Edmondia: He leaned down and kissed her.
EnsTren: She kissed back very lightly, sweet and chaste, and then lowered her eyes and face while blushing.
Edmondia: He raised an eyebrow. So shy?
EnsTren: Yes.
Edmondia: Why?
EnsTren: Because.
Edmondia: He nuzzled her hair. Because why?
EnsTren: Trembling and sweet in his arms, where he could protect her. Because.
Edmondia: ...does this have something to do with the wench?
EnsTren: Because we're in public, that's all.
EnsTren: And no it doesn't.
Edmondia: ...you get shy in public?
EnsTren: Shy about being kissed in public.
Edmondia: Why?
Edmondia: He looked around curiously. There's hardly anyone around, beloved.
EnsTren: So?
EnsTren: Walls have ears and who knows who might see.
Edmondia: ...are you ashamed of me?
EnsTren: I don't do the public touching thing much.
Edmondia: He glanced down at the arm that was still looped around her waist. Ah. Um... I'm special?
EnsTren: You're my yami. But please stop now?
Edmondia: ...fine. And he let go.
EnsTren: She smiled at him in thanks and sliped her hand into his.
Edmondia: He offered her a halfhearted smile and squeezed her fingertips. Wish you'd let me cuddle you in the open - I don't want anyone else thinking they can snuggle you.
EnsTren: Come on, it's lunchtime and we can sit together under the bleachers.
EnsTren: We can snuggle under the bleachers.
Edmondia: ...okay.
EnsTren: She gave him a peck on the cheek and led him on.
EnsTren: Meanwhile someone had stolen something and was going though it.
Edmondia: Her jaw dropped open.
EnsTren: And then she grinned.
EnsTren: She would teach that ba--bitch.
Edmondia: Humilation in return for humiliation.
EnsTren: Tomorrow would be perfect.
Edmondia: Kaiba would never know what hit her.
EnsTren: She removed the document from the folder and went off for lunch.
Edmondia: It would take the whole night, but she would make her pay.
EnsTren: (and done I think)
Edmondia: (yep)
Edmondia: (...next morning Seth's gonna be a pissy bitch)
Edmondia: ("You said she'd kill the child anyway so I can go kill her now!")
EnsTren: (and not getting any response out of seto who is going though the motions of the day)
Edmondia: (and who would be getting harassed, but for the Wall)
Edmondia: (am guessing even teachers are scared of the Wall)
Edmondia: ("Ms. Kaiba, if you'd stay after class for a moment...?")
EnsTren: (Seth stops raving and starts worrying cause hikari is not acting... right.)
EnsTren: (Seto Kaiba ignored the teacher and continued to write in her notebook.)
Edmondia: "Miss Kaiba?"
EnsTren: She wasn't writing in Japanese, or Egyptian. Just neat little squiggles that repeated themselves.
Edmondia: The teacher sighed and walked over to her, laying a hand on her desk. "Miss Kaiba?"
EnsTren: (yes she's half writing nonsense, but also half creating a new written language to distract herself (computer code grammer using japanese words and replacing the hiragana))
EnsTren: Scritch scritch. Seto's not home right now. "Go away, and don't call me chan."
EnsTren: Scritch scritch.
EnsTren: (she's not a happy camper)
Edmondia: "Miss Kaiba, I can understand that you're upset-"
"Sensei? I don't understand this problem, can you help me?" Yugi interrupted, turning pleading eyes on the teacher.
EnsTren: Scritch scritch, blink. She flipped the pages and conferred with a page filled with common hiragana and kanji and more of her little squiggles.
Edmondia: "Mr. Mutou, can't you work that out on your own?"
"No, I can't. I need help."
EnsTren: She flipped back to what she was on and continued writing nonsense.
Edmondia: "Miss Kaiba-"
"Sensei if you don't help me right this minute I'll tell everyone about your affair with the janitor," Yugi hissed lowly, just loud enough for she and Seto to hear.
EnsTren: Seto gave no indication she did hear.
Edmondia: The teacher blanched, but turned to Yugi and left Seto alone.
EnsTren: Seto finished and stared at the page of neat nonsense squiggles that made sense to her.
EnsTren: She went to sleep.
EnsTren: Seth was worried.
Edmondia: Yugi was worried.
Edmondia: As was Honda, as was Anzu, as was Bakura, as was even Otogi.
Edmondia: Hell, even Jounouchi was worried.
EnsTren: Though Otogi was a bit more inclinded to gossip.
Edmondia: That ended pretty quickly when Honda and Jounouchi made it a point to loom threateningly over the conversation.
EnsTren: From then on he gossiped inside the group, speculation, why, how, and did she have surgery to remove her breasts?
Edmondia: Yugi stomped on his foot and hissed that it wasn't like that.
EnsTren: And even Jou, Anzu, and Honda zoomed in on Yugi to ask how the hell did he know.
Edmondia: He folded his arms and gave them all a very cold glare. "It's none of your business."
EnsTren: They backed off quick.
Edmondia: "And she eats lunch with us - no letting her go off on her own. Seth might be able to coax her to stay, but if anybody tries anything or goes anywhere near her we take care of things, you understand?"
EnsTren: "If she goes off on her own do we follow her?"
EnsTren: "And can't Seth protect her? I mean he IS a yami."
Edmondia: "Do you want to pick up the soulless bodies, or should I?" he drawled sarcastically.
EnsTren: Seth was looking at what his hikari wrote to distract herself, flipping between pages, lines of hiratic script with accompanied squiggles and katakana. There were also pages of hiragana with squiggles.
EnsTren: "Yer right Yug."
Edmondia: "She's not happy right now - and she's sort of shell-shocked. Don't expect any big reactions, just herd her along where we can take care of her."
EnsTren: Seth saw four squiggles in sequence, repeated often--all over what she wrote.
Edmondia: But she was sleeping, and he didn't want to wake her to ask what they were.
EnsTren: So he used the other things she had written to "sound it out."
Edmondia: His hikari was very smart.
EnsTren: But then so was he.
Edmondia: (what does it say?)
EnsTren: (msD and then the equivalent squiggle for "hate")
EnsTren: (msD being "hate" in egyptian)
Edmondia: (not happy Seto)
Edmondia: ...his hikari was not a happy camper.
EnsTren: Hate. Hate Hate Hate, written at least three times on every line.
Edmondia: Poor precious hikari.
Edmondia: But he wasn't allowed to kill the bitch who had done it.
EnsTren: Hikari was such a nice person--too bright for her own good to make up for the darkness.
Edmondia: He still wanted to kill her.
EnsTren: It would make hikari upset.
Edmondia: So he mustn't.
EnsTren: He told cousin that they would eat under the bleachers because then hikari would let him hold her.
Edmondia: Cousin agreed and quietly spread the word amongst their little band of... whatever they were.
Edmondia: They made surprisingly good bodyguards.
Edmondia: And when lunchtime came, he quietly coaxed his hikari into wakefulness.
EnsTren: He had used hikari's cellphone previously and a Kaiba Corp limo was near the school and Jou was going and getting the things delivered.
EnsTren: He knew his hikari wouldn't want to eat so he needed the tastest things to coax her to at least nibble. Besides--He needed to get drunk.
Edmondia: Pretty light? Pretty light, it's time to wake up...
EnsTren: She roused herself slowly and went for her laptop, intending to work or type.
Edmondia: Ah - no you don't, beloved.
EnsTren: She let him take it away without a fight or a murmmer of dissent. He didn't even try to pry the notebook out of her hands though.
Edmondia: "Seto-kun, Seth-kun?" Yugi asked gently from behind them, "Are you ready for lunch?"
EnsTren: Seto started to read a textbook--starting over from the begining.
Edmondia: Seth reached over and gently closed it. No, pretty light. Come with me, please?
EnsTren: She gripped the notebook tightly, a pen in the spirals, and stood up with gentle urging.
Edmondia: Seth gently took her hand. We're going to lunch, pretty light, is that all right?
EnsTren: She stepped very close to him and didn't even bother to shrug.
Edmondia: Yugi quietly led them to the bleachers.
EnsTren: Seth hovered close, because his hikari would go off on her own when he didn't.
Edmondia: I called the house and got us all lunch, beloved, he murmured as he ushered her beneath them, into the close darkness and warmth of their minature banquet.
Edmondia: The others waited quietly for them, sprawled out in a messy half-circle that was equally defensible and comfortable.
EnsTren: She started to write her little squigls.
Edmondia: He gently tilted her chin up to look into her eyes. Beloved, he coaxed, Sit with me and eat?
EnsTren: She didn't even phrase words in her mind, but her feelings came though slowly. Not hungry.
Edmondia: Just a little, beloved? Come sit with me, at least, let me take care of you, please? And he gently tugged her down to sit with him. Eat just a little, won't you, mrwt?
EnsTren: She sat with him, against him made the squiggles.
Edmondia: He slid an arm around her and ate with his free hand, taking small portions of each dish and pressing them to her lips. Eat for me? Just a little?
EnsTren: Her pretty lips did not part.
Edmondia: Beloved... just a little, so you're not hungry later on?
EnsTren: Not hungry.
Edmondia: You still need the nourishment, my Hathor.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Please?
EnsTren: Negative.
Edmondia: Just a little?
EnsTren: Slowly slowly... why?
Edmondia: Because you'll be hungry later if you don't eat. I brought sweets for you.
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: Please?
EnsTren: Why?
Edmondia: It will make me feel better, he replied honestly, And you need to eat more, to be healthy.
EnsTren: Don't care. Hate.
Edmondia: I care. I love you.
EnsTren: Not hungry.
EnsTren: Don't want to eat.
Edmondia: Pretty please with sugar on top?
EnsTren: Iie.
Edmondia: Then may I kiss you?
EnsTren: ...Hai.
Edmondia: I'm glad, he whispered, and leaned forward and gently brushed their lips together.
EnsTren: Her lips were cold.
Edmondia: He kissed her a bit harder, wanting to warm her, steal that chill and fill her up with heat.
EnsTren: It was like... hikari wasn't there.
Edmondia: Hikari? Pretty beloved, pretty light, pretty darling, won't you come to me? He pulled away so that their mouths were barely touching and curled his fingers into her hair. Mry, talk to me?
EnsTren: No. Don't want.
Edmondia: Please? I love you, darling, I'm worried, you're frightening me, won't you please come to me and tell me how you feel?
EnsTren: Hate.
Edmondia: I know, beloved, I know, but - but darling, I can't feel anything from you, it's frightening me. Please talk to me?
EnsTren: No. No. Don't want to. Everyoneknows.
Edmondia: Please, beloved, you're safe here, I'm here, darling, you're safe right here with me, mrwt, it's safe here, I promise, we've got guards and keepers to make them all stay away.
EnsTren: But they all knooow!
Edmondia: Look around, beloved - they're here, they're keeping you safe - all the others don't matter, you have me, you have Mai-chan, you have people who will fight for you and keep you safe.
EnsTren: TheyknowtheyknowandeveryoneinJapanwillknowandthentheworldandwhatifI'mruined?!
Edmondia: Easy, my light, gently now, careful sweetling, careful - it's all right for now, we're taking care of you, it's all right for now...
EnsTren: She was shaking.
EnsTren: I want to work.
Edmondia: He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. Not now, beloved, now is not the time - now is for resting and crying and eating and letting me take care of you.
EnsTren: I'M NOT GOING TO CRY IN FRONT OF THEM!
Edmondia: He kissed her nose and her mouth very softly, very quickly. Calm yourself, my light, you'll not be harmed here.
EnsTren: I will not disgrace myself. I will not be weak.
Edmondia: Beloved, there is no disgrace in tears - and everyone knows you're not weak. They're here to help you, sweetling, because they care about you and want to keep you safe.
EnsTren: Yugi tells them too. And there is disgrace to me.
Edmondia: Beloved, Yugi cries for his friends, and you are safe here. I promise you that.
EnsTren: I will not cry in front of them.
EnsTren: And I don't want to eat.
Edmondia: What do you want to do?
EnsTren: She stayed quiet and scribbled in her notebook.
Edmondia: He tilted her chin up. Beloved?
EnsTren: Leave me alone.
Edmondia: I can't.
EnsTren: She looked up from under her lashes and from beneath a fringe of hair, hiding her eyes, and looked at all the faces around her.
Edmondia: Bright, clear eyes.
EnsTren: Red eyes. She snapped her gaze down.
Edmondia: Caramel fingertips gently twined with her own. For you, he whispered.
EnsTren: She tried to be still but shivered.
Edmondia: ...may I hold you? he asked softly, gently stroking the back of her hands with his thumbs.
EnsTren: ...yes.
EnsTren: (how long do you think until the media found out?)
Edmondia: He pulled her flush to his body, pressing a kiss to her temple, gently wrapping his arms around her and carefully winding their legs together, holding her tight.
Edmondia: (a day or so?)
EnsTren: (wouldn't the girl have given an anonymus tip?)
Edmondia: (is she that smart?)
EnsTren: (no, but someone in the school has to be.)
Edmondia: (then maybe that afternoon)
EnsTren: She seemed so small in his arms, and she was shaking shaking.
Edmondia: He rocked her and rubbed her stomach and pressed kisses into her hair and throat.
EnsTren: She flinched. She curled. She hated her body.
Edmondia: I love your body, he whispered, and nuzzled her jaw, I love you.
EnsTren: HateHateHate.
Edmondia: Lovelovelove.
EnsTren: I should have gone under the knife.
Edmondia: No, my beloved - not that.
EnsTren: Hate me, hate this body, hate hate them hate everything
Edmondia: Love you, love your body, love you, love everything about you.
EnsTren: Her voice cracked, but she spoke. "They are going to come, what should I say?"
Edmondia: "Tell them the truth."
EnsTren: "I don't..." A cough, "Want to expose my private life to the media."
Edmondia: "How else could you explain things?"
EnsTren: "Lie, or not talk."
Edmondia: "And what would you lie about?"
EnsTren: "Why I'm like this."
Edmondia: "And what would the lie be?"
EnsTren: "I haven't thought one up yet."
Edmondia: "...you may have to tell the truth."
EnsTren: She went ashen.
Edmondia: He stroked her stomach again, nuzzling his lips against her neck.
EnsTren: She twitched. No touch like that. Not want.
Edmondia: He squeezed her lightly and ceased. Only meant to comfort, beloved, only meant to make you strong.
EnsTren: I AM STRONG!
Edmondia: I know, darling.
Edmondia: Believe me, I know.
Edmondia: But won't you let me help you, just the same?
EnsTren: She was shaking so badly. Don't want that now.
Edmondia: He rocked her gently, wordlessly trying to soothe her. Gently now, beloved, now is the time to think and plan - screaming comes later, remember to breathe...
EnsTren: She drew in a shaky breath.
Edmondia: And gently exhale, good, now try and focus, just breathe for a moment, clear your head...
EnsTren: It was hard.
Edmondia: Slowly, slowly beloved, gently inhale - that's it, hold it for a moment, and slowly out again, slowly, easy... and again, that's it...
EnsTren: Hate.
Edmondia: I love you, my sweet light, now focus and breathe for me, please?
EnsTren: Hate. Will breathe. Hate.
Edmondia: I know, my love, I feel it too, but now is our thinking time - we can't be clouded by emotion while we plan.
EnsTren: Hikari planned... and was considering using the truth for the company, pity, she hated it but it might jack up sales.
EnsTren: Hikari was distancing herself again.
Edmondia: I'm going to kiss you again.
EnsTren: Please don't.
Edmondia: Please don't leave me.
EnsTren: Don't want to be here.
Edmondia: Safest here.
EnsTren: Don't want to be in this body.
Edmondia: So change.
EnsTren: Don't want to be herehere in this body. Want to write. Want to work.
Edmondia: Have to plan, you can change, safest place to plot is among those who will kill and die for you. I'm sorry it has to be this way.
EnsTren: They won't die for me.
Edmondia: Yugi will.
Edmondia: I will.
EnsTren: No he won't. Atemu can save him from anything because he's the pharaoh, remember? Not like me who has to go and save themselves unless I happen to get in trouble and saving me is between him and his friends.
Edmondia: Would you rather they left us alone?
EnsTren: Hate.
Edmondia: Them?
EnsTren: Just Hate.
Edmondia: I love you.
EnsTren: Don't hate you.
EnsTren: "Should I tell the truth?"
Edmondia: "It may be the only way."
Edmondia: I'm glad - I don't think I could live like that again.
EnsTren: (no one's asking what the truth is?)
EnsTren: You frighten me though.
Edmondia: (I imagine they've realized what a delicate situation it is and are trying not to break a very fragile peace by asking what the hell is going on)
Edmondia: I do? Why?
EnsTren: You want me that way.
Edmondia: ...I was under the impression that you wanted me that way, as well.
EnsTren: That frightenes me too.
Edmondia: Beloved... I'm in love with you, and I like to think that you love me too. Wanting one another that way is perfectly natural.
EnsTren: But I'm not natural.
Edmondia: Your body will heal from the poisons that have been forced upon it, and you know I don't care what you look like.
EnsTren: They aren't poisons, they make me normal.
Edmondia: They are poisons, normal for you is the body that magic granted you.
EnsTren: This is normal. This is good.
Edmondia: You just said you hated this body.
EnsTren: Hate being a girl.
EnsTren: Being like a boy is good and normal.
Edmondia: ...I love the way you feel when you're a girl.
EnsTren: You want to put it in me.
Edmondia: Beloved, we've been through this before - we've made love before now, no, don't protest that, it might not have been sex, but I was making love with you. Why does it upset you now?
EnsTren: Soft, weak, don't like that.
Edmondia: He drew away as if she'd slapped him, outright hurt pouring down their bond.
EnsTren: She lowered her eyes. I'm going to get weaker because I'm lowering my doses. I'm going to get physically softer and weaker and periods and PMS and I don't like being weak.
Edmondia: ...I - I thought that was... was what you wanted... he whispered brokenly, You said that was what you wanted...
EnsTren: I want, but feel weak.
EnsTren: I'm not like you, I'm only artificially strong.
Edmondia: Oh no, beloved, stronger than anyone else - not weakness, pretty beloved, never that.
EnsTren: Physically weak. Females are weaker than males.
Edmondia: And slyer and quicker. Just as deadly, beloved, if not moreso.
EnsTren: Weak.
Edmondia: Infinitely stronger than men - better fighters in battle.
EnsTren: ?
Edmondia: Sekhmet lived in Kemet's women, beloved, as she lives in you. Few women embrace their own ferocity - tell me, is there anything more fearsome than a mother protecting her children?
EnsTren: ...Iie. But I can't have babies.
EnsTren: She felt tears springing up and buring. She closed her eyes tight refusing them.
Edmondia: We don't know that for certain, my love, and the passion lives in you - Mokuba lives because of you.
Edmondia: Have you not wondered why so many goddess-queens rule the heavens? All men know and fear a woman they have wronged.
EnsTren: I'm not going to tear myself apart just to have a child.
Edmondia: I speak of magic, beloved - the gods have not yet forsaken us, and the Shadows would smile upon our child.
EnsTren: I'm sad now, and I don't want to cry.
EnsTren: If I cry everyone will know.
Edmondia: That you are sad?
EnsTren: That I'm weak.
EnsTren: That I cried.
Edmondia: There is no weakness in tears, beloved, and those around us have all cried before. There is no dishonor in crying.
EnsTren: It is to me!
Edmondia: Why?
EnsTren: Because it shows that you were harmed and thus indicates where to aim your next blow, or your first one.
Edmondia: You're surrounded by those who will kill for your sake, my love, he whispered. No one is going to hurt you here.
EnsTren: They won't. They would.
Edmondia: They care for you.
EnsTren: Only Yugi.
Edmondia: All of them.
EnsTren: Iie.
Edmondia: Truth.
EnsTren: Iie.
Edmondia: Truth.
EnsTren: Iie.
Edmondia: They would not be here if not for your sake, if not to protect you.
EnsTren: Too good hearted for their own good, and Yugi wants them to.
Edmondia: They are good people who want to help you.
EnsTren: I'm dirt to them.
Edmondia: Why?
EnsTren: Because I'm a haughty bas--sorry, I'm a BITCH now.
Edmondia: Then why are they still here and defending you?
EnsTren: Yugi.
Edmondia: Yugi cannot do everything, my love. They are here of their own free will.
EnsTren: They're like a pack of dogs, they go where the leader does.
Edmondia: Or maybe they're worried about someone who might not be their friend, but is still an important part of their lives.
EnsTren: ...Did you tell anyone that I was holding their police files so they wouldn't get into trouble?
Edmondia: No.
EnsTren: Same way you didn't tell your cousin about me?
Edmondia: Low blow, beloved, and I did not tell them.
EnsTren: I'll take any hit I can get.
Edmondia: On me?
Edmondia: Am I to be your plaything again, my sweet?
EnsTren: You are my plaything though, aren't you? She replied with the same deceptive sweetness, all laced though with venom.
Edmondia: His eyes slitted. Why are you attacking me? I've done you no harm.
EnsTren: You attacked me.
Edmondia: By telling you about those who care for you?
Edmondia: Do I attack you with the fact that I love you?
EnsTren: My question was poorly phrased but I had legitimate reasons to ask it. You brought... my psychosis up.
Edmondia: You struck me, my feelings were hurt, I apologize for hurting you in return.
EnsTren: I have apologized for that endlessly and begged for forgiveness which you so loftilly bestowed, and you brought it up.
Edmondia: I am far from perfect, my light, and you did hurt me very badly. I forgave it, but I cannot forget it. I am sorry.
Edmondia: I am sorry I'm not as strong as I should be.
Edmondia: I'm sorry that I'm not worthy of you.
EnsTren: She averted her face.
EnsTren: How is a light that fell into darkness more worthy than you?
Edmondia: I'm sorry that I'm hurting you again...
Edmondia: And you are all that is good in this world.
EnsTren: Her eyes were unfocused and staring at the floor, strangely glazed.
EnsTren: No, that is Yugi. I'm just... leftovers.
EnsTren: The foil.
Edmondia: No, he whispered tenderly, You are the world.
EnsTren: Iie. I'm the white shirt in detergent and he's the one in bleach.
Edmondia: Sekhmet in all her glory.
EnsTren: Shall I lick blood and beer off the ground, or would you prefer something else, since my position has been knocked below the mutt's?
Edmondia: What on earth are you talking about?!
EnsTren: I was a boy in the man's world, now I'm a bitch and I'm going to fight tooth and nail to stay in the man's world and not be kicked out and beaten with a rolled-up newspaper.
Edmondia: ...I'm glad to hear it, my love.
EnsTren: She growled softly in the back of her throat, taking that the wrong way.
Edmondia: You want to fight.
EnsTren: If I stop fighting I die, and Mokuba can't take care of himself, and you certainly can't take care of him.
Edmondia: You think so little of me, my love? And fighting proves your strength - you may be hurt, but your glory is in your passion.
EnsTren: There's nothing but fighting.
Edmondia: You may rest with me.
EnsTren: I rest I die.
Edmondia: You are safe with me.
Edmondia: You are all I live for.
EnsTren: I'm... you shouldn't.
Edmondia: But I do.
EnsTren: She was suddenly even sadder. ...Do you still want to rape me?
Edmondia: What?! No!
EnsTren: You said you did. You said you were going to. I remember.
EnsTren: So I wanted to ask... If I had been good enough for you to not want to do that.
Edmondia: ...I'm sorry I said that, beloved. I was... very upset when I said that - what?
EnsTren: I'm glad that I've been good enough.
Edmondia: What? Beloved - that - that - your actions have nothing to do with that!
Edmondia: I don't want that because it's sick and wrong!
EnsTren: She flinched and oh Ra she was shaking and trying to squirm out of his arms and actually whimpered. I'm sorry I'm sorry! Don't yell please?
Edmondia: Oh, beloved! he crooned, clutching her closer, hiding his face in her hair, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to yell, it's not you I'm angry at, I'm sorry!
EnsTren: She stopped trying to get away but by Hathor she was shaking too much and wasn't breathing right and he was sure he felt a bit of wetness against his neck.
Edmondia: Oh gods beloved, I'm so sorry, how could you think that? Shush, remember to breathe, oh gods my sweetling I love you so much, please don't think like that, please...
EnsTren: B-but you said it! You said it to me, you said you were going to rape me!
EnsTren: You said you were going to rape me and you wished that you hated me.
Edmondia: I k-know, he choked, I know - gods, beloved, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry - y-you don't know how sorry I am...
Edmondia: I-it was very very wrong and cruel of me to say that to you, my light, and... I know - that such things are beyond redemption...
EnsTren: She was shaking and his neck was definetly wet, he felt the great gulf of fear his words had provoked in her since then.
Edmondia: Oh gods, beloved... he whispered, and hid a sob against her neck, Oh gods, I'm so sorry...
EnsTren: She was so afraid of him, so afraid he would creep in on her one night or pounce on her during the day and do that horrible thing he hadn't threatened. No, he hadn't threatened. He said he would do it, a promise. No wonder why she jumped when he slamed doors.
Edmondia: He sobbed harder, clinging to her desperately. I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry beloved didn't mean it never ever ever eveer want to hurt you!
EnsTren: You did! You said it!
Edmondia: I didn't mean it!
EnsTren: Then why did you say it? Why did you lie to me then?
Edmondia: I was upset and angry and frustrated and I didn't know what to do and oh gods - why didn't you kill me when you had the chance?
EnsTren: Mokuba didn't want me to.
EnsTren: Tears were coming out and her body convulsed once as if to double over, but there was no sound of a sob because she held it back.
Edmondia: He only sobbed harder. Oh gods, my light - you - you don't know how much I love you...
EnsTren: Because she had to have control.
EnsTren: But she clung and twisted her fingers into his clothing.
Edmondia: Sorry, so sorry, so sorry so sorry so sorry I hurt you...
EnsTren: She pressed her cheek against him and though she shook like a boat in a storm she let him hold her and cry against her and pet.
EnsTren: You won't?
Edmondia: NEVER!
EnsTren: Something half way between a flinch and a twitch.
EnsTren: Say you won't, promise me, please?
Edmondia: I promise, beloved, I promise I promise I promise I promise I'll never ever ever hurt you ever ever ever again...
EnsTren: Say you won't rape me.
Edmondia: He choked. I - I p-promise I w-won't... won't rape you.
EnsTren: She hugged him, wrapped her arms all tight around him and hugged him to her body and kissed his cheek. ...W-when we're al-alone will you say it ou-out l-loud? He had said he would rape her outloud.
Edmondia: When we're alone I'll say it out loud, he promised fervently, clutching her tightly, I'll say it a thousand times and apologize a thousand more for ever... ever... threatening that in the first place.
EnsTren: Thank you. She laid against him. I think I can eat a little now.
Edmondia: He stared at her through teary eyes, a strained smile curving his lips. Oh beloved, you are a jewel...
EnsTren: She looked into his eyes and had to lower her own for the depths of pure emotion in his. Why should such a small thing bring such a great response?
Edmondia: You are my world, he whispered tenderly, voice thick with adoration. You have no idea what you mean to me.
EnsTren: And she blushed.
Edmondia: Marry me?
EnsTren: What if I can't give you babies? What if I can never bring myself... to do that with you?
Edmondia: What if I ask you to marry me anyway?
EnsTren: I would say that when I am healed that I would indeed marry you.
Edmondia: So will you marry me?
EnsTren: If the time comes yes. I... a malfunctioning deficient wife. Even if I can't give you children I want to be able to make you happy in the ways I can't now.
Edmondia: You are all that I desire.
EnsTren: I am not satified with myself.
Edmondia: Then we must make you happier.
EnsTren: I thought you wanted me to eat.
EnsTren: (Jou and the others thoughts: wait, why is Seth crying and Seto not?)
Edmondia: That is a good start, he acknowledged with a smile.
Edmondia: (Indeed - but they figure it's a wacky yami/omote thing)
EnsTren: So she sat patiently on his lap, face very carefully turned away from the others so they could not see the signs of her crying.
EnsTren: (and what do yami and yugi think?)
Edmondia: (they figure they had a major revelation and are going through the emotional upheaval that entails)
Edmondia: And he again picked up small morsels of their lunch and pressed them to her lips.
EnsTren: She ate them slowly, for her stomach still rolled with the turbulent emotions she had surpressed instead of releasing though crying. And though it was very sweet to look upon there was none of the associated sexuality in the acts.
Edmondia: So proud of you, my love...
EnsTren: I'm just eating, she protested as she took a little sip of honeyed milk.
Edmondia: He smiled radiently at her.
EnsTren: For some reason it embarrassed her and she blushed--a painter could not do a porcelain doll fairerer than that.
Edmondia: Goddess, he whispered reverently, and brushed a kiss against her fingertips.
EnsTren: His hikari was peerless in beauty and in light.
Edmondia: And she had shed that awful blankness and distance that he so hated.
EnsTren: Now she was nervous and afraid, but looking forward to when they were alone so he could say it and say it and say it over and over again and apologize twice as many times until the heart wound he had inflicted on her healed.
Edmondia: Anything for her.
EnsTren: She was hopeful, it was an emotion that suited her well.
Edmondia: I'm in love with you, you know, he whispered foolishly, a silly grin on his lips.
EnsTren: Will you tell me that too, out loud, when we are alone?
Edmondia: I'd tell you that now but I'm afraid you might blush, he grinned, Of course I will.
EnsTren: She smiled at him.
Edmondia: ...I'm afraid I'd like to do something rather ridiculously cute to you now, beloved.
EnsTren: Her gaze said it all. Don't.
Edmondia: He mock-pouted at her.
EnsTren: Feed me.
Edmondia: Javohl, mein capitaine!
Edmondia: And he fed her.
Edmondia: (aaaaaaaaaand bed)
EnsTren: (nai)
