[ she can't help but wince, and it's almost like her emotions do the same. ]

It was a little harsher than that.

[ and now she just feels ashamed. ] It was my fault. It was stupid.

[bindings]

He didn't seem to mind. [she strokes nahri's hand with her thumb absently.]

... Thank you. You were concerned about me.

[ashmark]

He was lying.

[ well. now her face is red. she wants to protest, but she can't exactly protest about her concern, because it is true. ]

[bindings]

[help this is cute]

Lying about what? [the stutter-stop of her emotions eases up a little just because she's a little fond, and even if it's about rang - it's... she's finding she likes it when nahri blushes.]

[ashmark]

[ meanwhile, her feelings seem to be curling up in on themselves. ]

About not being bothered. Even if he acted that way... look, I'm not a stranger to lying. Foxes and djinn aren't that different.

But that's something I'll take up with him tomorrow.

[bindings]

[noooo stop that

she shifts, turning her face to press her nose against nahri's jaw. just for a moment.]

I think that he was bothered because he didn't realize that I preferred to lack emotion. [there's a little bit of soothing, there.] I told him.

[a pause.] We can gather flowers for him as well.

[ashmark]

[ well. that causes her emotions to unfurl a little. it also causes her heart to jump into her throat. ]

I hope he likes them. Though it's not like we're not giving him much choice.

[bindings]

[hm. maybe she will stay there for a bit, actually.]

He will like them or else. [shenhe please]

[ashmark]

[ shenhe PLEASE ]

Well, it's all that he's getting. I only need to apologize once...

[bindings]

[hmph.]

... Tomorrow. [she says, after a moment. she's fine doing all of that tomorrow. for now:] I'd like to go back to the warehouse. Would you?

[ashmark]

Yeah. [ reluctantly pulls away from the closeness..... having to get up. regretful. ]

You should get some rest.
