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.

[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. ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...Did I make it too hard for you to talk?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ shoots him an awkward glance like,

she's sorry she's stupid, ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[reaches up to pat her cheek]

It's okay.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ weh ]

Can you... ... it's fine if you don't want to apologize for me if it's like that, but...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...I'll tell him you're sorry you missed the anniversary.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ visibly relaxes ]

. . . Thank you. I - ...

[ "I'll make up for it soon," she wants to say, but can she? what should she even do? ]

... Thanks.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Mm. Don't worry about it.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

Mm...

[ letting him go since it should be time to check on the nabe ]

Do you want to eat in here, or should we go back to your room?
