Comments

[arseid]

Then please believe me when I say that I meant it.

[ close enough of a bone?? ]

[inheiritor]

[... Close enough.

He tries to settle, though his cheeks are still red.]

I... yes, of course... I believe you...

[Ah...]

It is... a little embarrassing, though.

[arseid]

I... understand it's a little outside of your usual wardrobe...

But I like it on you.

[inheiritor]

I would not wear this on any other day, it's absolutely true.

[Why.]

That said... if you like it, it... is fine that I'm wearing it now.

[They're so awkward.]

[arseid]

... So long as I'm the only one to see it.

[ FIRMLY. ]

[inheiritor]

[O.... oh??]

I...am afraid your classmates have already seen it, as it was their idea--

[SCRUPULOUSLY HONEST.]

[arseid]

...

How many of them.

[inheiritor]

[A...h....]

A...few of them...

[arseid]

Names, please.

[ She's going to have Words. ]

[inheiritor]

Ah...well, it was Miss Claussel's idea... and Miss Reinford and Miss Orion were there as well... Mister Schwarzer and Mister Worzel were there, though I believe it was more in their attempt at, ah, damage control...?

[arseid]

... Ah. It would be Fie.

[ A VERY LOUD SIGH. ]

I apologize, Seliph. I'm sure she meant no harm, but she can be rather forceful.

[inheiritor]

[Aw, Laura...]

I believe, in fact, that she was doing this for you.

[arseid]

Eh?

[ no wait she looks genuinely surprised by this ]

[inheiritor]

That is, if her statement of "Laura had better appreciate this, you're an awful lot of work to deal with when you're flustered" was to be believed.

[Which he's embarrassed about, but you know.

Still true.]

[arseid]

[ There's a pause... and then Laura laughs, shaking her head. ]

I do appreciate it, but I have to admit I like it when you're flustered, too.

[inheiritor]

[Dammit, Laura.]

Is that so...? That's an unfortunate thing to enjoy, I can't help but think.

[arseid]

Is it? So if I were to come up to you in a similar outfit...

[inheiritor]

[.....]

You... would be significantly cuter in this, Laura.

[arseid]

I wouldn't know... I believe it accentuates your legs quite nicely.

[inheiritor]

L--

Laura?!

[arseid]

... Ah.

My apologies, was that perhaps a bit too honest?

[inheiritor]

No... no, you are never too honest.

It simply... took me off-guard. But if that is how you truly feel... that's important to me as well.


[And embarrassing.]

[arseid]

All the same... if you're truly uncomfortable, I'm certain we can find you a place to change into more comfortable attire.

[ kind of a shame, but Seliph's comfort is more important. ]

[inheiritor]

[... Laura please.]

... So long as...it remains only us, I believe--this is fine...

[Just.

Nobody else.]

[arseid]

... Well.

[ A pause, before she smiles and reaches for his hand. ]

I have to agree. But don't hesitate to tell me if that changes.
