[ .............................................. ]

It's just . . .

[ another fairly lengthy pause, as she seems to be actively trying to think up a good lie ]

. . . After missing that day, and... you know, I never thought of what to give him, so - . . . I don't really know how to face him...

[ punctuated with a laugh, because she's totally ok and that's totally a thing that she does when she's ok ]

[...sigh]

I get that you don't wanna tell you. I mean, I didn't tell you either, so it's just fair. But you could just say that instead of lying.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

It isn't - ...

You shouldn't be worrying about me, but it isn't really a lie either...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Uh huh.

[tears open the wrapper on a chocolate bar and takes a big bite]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... It isn't. We . . .

... Leaving him alone on that day...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

I specifically told him I'd see him later that day. Obviously I didn't.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

It wasn't your anniversary. That's in thirteen days.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...Wait, what? It is?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... The day that you kissed him was sixteen days after our wedding, wasn't it? I think that was when you told me about it...

... That means that, relative to today, with the way that time works here, thirteen days will make a year.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Oh.

[completely distracted from the point he was trying to make earlier]

That's... not at all the same as a wedding anniversary, though.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

Isn't it the same? It's the day your relationship started to become what it is now, isn't it?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[with sudden sharpness:]

-It's not the same!

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ startles, dropping the ladle - as she turns to look at him finally, worried ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[he's staring at her, expression somewhere between fury and distress, and he's shaking]

You don't get to say something like that so easily when you already married him.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ ah ]

... Sorry...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[takes a deep breath, then looks away]

...So it's not like you have anything to worry about.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ slowly... picking up the ladle, before moving to hug him ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[tense in her arms, still not looking at her]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ just lifts a hand to start stroking his hair, tentatively, skittish ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[slowly, slowly starts to relax into the touch, just a little]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ working her fingers into his scalp slowly, just staying quiet. she doesn't know what to say, so - it's better that she doesn't, she thinks.

but eventually he can hear her murmuring another apology, or something along those lines. ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...Don't. I don't wanna hear that you're sorry.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ goes quiet then, stiffening awkwardly

what is she supposed to say if she can't apologize. she has no idea ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[...let's his head flop onto the table]

Everything suuuuuuuuucks.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I'm s -

[ s

shuts her mouth ]

So -

[ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ]

... Mm.

[ ok. ]
