[ Whatever she believes...

For a moment, there's a rejection, a push of that sick feeling against her heart, and Eula swallows hard, her eyes closed. She trusts him, so there's no need for it, but her heart and her mind work together to force it anyway, a strange anxiety that maybe she feels more than he does, that maybe she's let herself fall for someone who doesn't feel that way in return, that maybe what she believes is not what he was going to say at allโ€”

(But wouldn't that be good? Wasn't her whole internal argument that this whole thing was too much, too soon?)

She swallows it back, licking her too-dry lips and pressing in closer, trying to just focus on him, not on what might be, or what she wants or doesn't want it to be. A smile finds its way to her lips, something a little too forced for her own liking, but as good as she can get right now. ]


Deal. It will be step one of our vengeance against him.

[ She's attempting humor, although she's not sure how funny she sounds right now, with her voice somewhere between too wet and too dry, a weakness in it that she hates, a misery that leaks through that threatens to lay her bare no matter how hard she fights against it.

Of course, it doesn't help that part of that misery comes from seeing him like this in the first placeโ€”

Her feelings are far too complicated right now.

She feels the flare of his heat and tilts her head, eventually pulling back to look up at him, knowing that he'll see the mess that her face no doubt is right now, but suddenly finding it difficult to be worried about that. As long as she can keep even some of the feelings in her head, it's a good startโ€” the drawn expression can be explained as worry, concern over his state. ]


You were focused, no doubt. And Lectors are known for being... well, they can be incredibly sneaky when they want to be. That's something you don't have to feel sorry for, Diluc.
