[unbr8kable]

[Stays put and lets him]

...Means you don't got a horse in your room 'less you want one.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... legit. Horse in your room sounds like it'd be a pain.

[Finishes up her side - hesitates]

Think you're gonna have to scoot a little for me to reach the other one.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Okay, okay...

[She straightens a bit, so he can move]

...Amaranth's got a horse.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Covering the other one, as well]

What, like - inside?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Squirms a bit but lets him finish]

In the dog park. Lady loves her.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, they play or something?

[Finishes up, just as gentle]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Griff, too, but Lady's totally obsessed. I dunno if the horse even knows he's alive... It's funny.

If you ever wanna see a horse, I can take you. Now that I ain't leaking, I guess.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Some other day'd be cool.

Kinda wanna take it easy tonight, though, if that's cool.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Real cool.

[She reaches out, a bit ginger, for his hand]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Takes it and gives it a squeeze, gentle; his smile is just as soft]

...c'mon. Let's get you in the tub.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

If you're still up for it. If you wanna something else, that's fine.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, and waste all this plastic wrap? You ain't getting away that easy.

[He gives her hand another squeeze - stands, and reaches out his other hand to her, so he can help her up with both]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She takes both and eases to her feet; leans in to press her forehead against his]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He gets an arm around her, to steady her - just rests like that, for a beat or two, assuring himself that she's here, and she's safe, and she's (mostly) intact]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Her arm goes to his waist, to keep steady or just to feel the solid weight of him. She shakes in a breath, fingers curling into his shirt]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He doesn't actually seem in a hurry to go anywhere, if she isn't - though after a beat, he remembers to grope blindly toward the tub and turn the water on, to fill up while she rests against him]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[This is appreciated, as her grip trembles a bit, breath following even as she shifts to lean against his shoulder instead]

[Anyway--there's time yet, before the tub is full, so it's not as though there's much to do in the meantime anyway,]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Exactly. They have a while, so surely it's fine if he winds his arms around her, gentle, as though he needs the reminder that she's okay]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Surely it is. Just as it must be fine if she huddles into that embrace, as if she needs the same reminder]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[After a long few beats, he lifts his hand to stroke through her hair, gentle]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She makes a soft sound and wraps her arms more tightly around him, the plastic rustling and stretching a bit]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[It's plastic, it can take it]

[Which is to say, he curls her a little closer, keeping up the petting]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[So long as the butterflies can, it's fine,]

[She is pretty sure they do! Or at least doesn't care, in favor of squeezing against him, heart rushing]

[...Or maybe that's just the bathtub. No biggie either way]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[No biggie either way]

[Certainly nothing to worry about for a long few minutes, while the tub does its thing. In the meantime, he continues the slow strokes, fingers combing softly through her hair]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Definitely nothing big.

She continues to knot her fingers into his shirt, as if afraid he'll disappear otherwise. As you do.]
