Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She just rests against him for a heady beat, wincing at the sudden change in orientation. But eventually she tries a tiny, tentative sip]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...any good?

Straight from hell's kitchen.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mm... Try it.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Leans in a little closer to take a sip]

Ain't bad.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

You should eat.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

You, too. You were in there long as I was.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Not quite as long.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah.

[A long pause; then he rallies]

Still. Still, you oughtta try and get your strength up.

[He holds the bowl out to her again]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

I will.

[She only rests her head on his shoulder, however. Her voice is soft]

...You, too. You're the one doing all the work. Should take care of yourself some.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, I'm gonna have some.

Got enough for two... that means this one's all yours.

[He offers the bowl again, careful]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[This time she gives it a go, leaning up to take another small sip]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Holds it still for her, feeding her in small sips for as long as she'll accept them]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She makes it through almost half the bowl before shaking her head and slumping back against him]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He sets the bowl down - hesitates - offers her one of the riceballs]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Another head shake, smaller, though still followed by a wince]

Room's spinning... Maybe later.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He nods - reaches for the water and uncaps it, then holds it out to her]

This'll help with the dizzy.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Does take some, careful not to take too much]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Waits until she's done drinking, then eases te bottle away, recapping it and setting it aside]

You wanna lay back down?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

...You leaving?

[Which she hopes doesn't come out as worried as she's afraid it does]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, you ain't gonna get rid of me that easy.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Okay. Okay.

[A pause, then she untenses a little, careful. Silence for a long beat.]

Then--if you don't mind.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Course I don't mind.

[The arm around her shifts position - makes to lever her downward]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She scoots down to mostly flat, looking over to him as if for permission]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His smile is achingly soft, and he settles down next to her, winding an arm around her]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Too readily she huddles in, tucking herself against him]

...Sure this's okay...?
