Scythe-Nova

Timea listened to Emia with interest as she said that she loved her, her expression changed a little to one of confusion. She shivered a little from the warmth of Emia's body as she was kissed on the cheek and Emia hugging her closer, She looked into Emia's eyes and felt a little strange as if something was fluttering in her gut as her head got a little warm.

-"Love? What is Love?"

She asked and looked back into the other girls red eyes with a slight blush on her cheeks, Timea could not really put a finger on the feelings that rolled around in her body even though she felt strange she was not afraid of the feelings but she did not understand them.

Salzem

Emia's own expression turned into one of confusion herself as Timea's response to her actions was to ask what love was... Oh boy... this was going to be a challenge for the young tainted-blood as she barely had an understanding as to what it was herself and now she had to teach it to the girl she had feelings for... The brown-haired girl's own cheeks blushed as she contemplated how exactly to explain it, to tell Timea in such a way that wouldn't scare her off.

"Um... Love is... its... its when you care about someone... when you want to protect them..." She smiled nervously, hoping she was making sense. "It's when you look at someone and you get this... feeling in your stomach and it won't go away... It's when... you look into their eyes.. and find it hard to look away." As if to emphasize her last point, Emia never once took her eyes off the girl she held in her arms. Her gaze grew more intense... warmer.

"I-It's when.. You hold someone this close and don't want to let them go..."

Scythe-Nova

Timea lookied into the eyes of Emia as she tried to explain to her what love is, She was nut really sure she understood it all and by the looks of Emia she did not seem to fully understand it either. But as the red eyed girl hugged her closer she could feel the warm feeling in her gut spread through her body and her head got a little hotter as her blush spread upon her cheeks, it was hard looking away from the other girls eyes and truth be told Timea did not want to look away.

-"..."

She could not find any words and even if she had she was not sure she could speak, She just could not bring out any sounds as if they got stuck in her throat. Timea embraced Emia softly as she pressed her body against the other girl, She closed her eyes as she placed her forehead against Emia's own and smiled softly. She was unsure whether this would be a good answer but she felt it was right to her self, it was also the only answer she could give as she still did not truly understand the feelings she had right now.

Salzem

Emia held the girl as tight as she could without causing any kind of pain, her grip suddenly loosening however as she felt the green-haired girl's body press against her own, tighter than before, their skin slick from the bath surrounding them though the water seemed to fade into non-importance for Emia.... Timea was all that mattered to her. Slowly, Timea closed her eyes and leaned in, Emia's face blushing about as much as hers, anticipating a kiss or something similar before she felt the girl's forehead gently tap hers, the pressure increasing but only slightly before coming to a rest a moment later. There the two girls stood in the bath, wrapped up in each other's arms, warmed only by their own heat shared between them. Slowly, Emia's own eyes began to flutter shut, as she barely shifted, just enough to adjust herself as she returned the very slight pressure between their foreheads, sharing a moment that compared to one shared by a kiss.

A little while would pass before Emia would pull her head away, gently and slowly, at first, not wanting to break their embrace. She softly raised a hand from around Timea's waist where she held her, up to the girl's pale cheek, smiling as gently, but also as happily as she could without her girl splitting her face in half. In truth, she was having difficulty speaking herself. Timea was just so cute... so gentle and soft, so... vulnerable... She never wanted to let her go from this point in time... She just wanted to hold her... to stand there with Timea forever... Unfortunately, life was not so simple and they REALLY needed to get back to her father. Lanister was probably pacing back and forth in his bar, waiting for the two kids to come home and the only reason he wasn't doing it right now (even if he got fired from his job for doing so) was because of some minor confidence he had that the two got side-tracked. Probably. Emia BELIEVED her father would be so mad with them when they got back... and go back they must...

"Hey..." She whispered, rubbing Timea's cheek with the slightest of pressure. "We need to get back to dad... Ready to go...?" If she agreed, Emia would smile before leaning in and placing a kiss on Timea's forehead, staying in their embrace for only a moment longer before pulling away once more, almost immediately craving to be in Timea's arms again... Still, through these trying times Emia persevered, drying herself off as she stepped out of the tub with a nearby towel, offering to do the same for her friend should she ask for it. From there, Emia would get dressed, or at least begin to before she stopped, looking at Timea strangely... the last thing she wanted was for her to end up ruining her bath by wearing that old thing but there was little they could do... besides GET HER NEW CLOTHES! Emia's face brightened as this idea popped into existence, waiting for Timea to (barely) get dressed before reaching out and taking her hand, her fingers intertwined with hers.

"Lets get you something beautiful!" Emia declared, grabbing their stuff and making their way to their last stop before home: the clothing booth. He was not far from the bath-house at all, in fact, he was right out side. She figured the reason they didn't notice him before was because he hadn't set up shop yet.

"Welcome!" He greeted them before going back to organizing his various articles of clothing on their respective shelves. Immediately Emia's eyes scanned the various shirts and pants for anything Timea might look good in before she stopped and looked over at the girl who stole her heart.

"See anything you like?" She asked.

Scythe-Nova

Timea's breath grew steady and her heart calmed down as they simply stood there in the bath embracing eachother, She slowly opened her eyes when Emia pulled away a little and looked up on her calmly. She leaned into Emia's hand when she placed it on her cheek and closed her eyes cutely, When Emia let go of her and got out of the tub Timea followed suit and mimicked her friend with her own towel and dried herself off.

-"Yeah.."

She still had quite the blush on her face from both the warm bath and the closeness that the two had shared mere moments ago, She looked over the dirty sheet of cloth she regarded as her clothes with an indifferent expression before putting it on and then sitting down to put on her precious sandals. Not long after her hair had started to dry it slowly started to become frizzy and unruly all by itself and it was only a matter of time until all of her hair would become like that as if unruly and messy was her hair's natural state, As she got her sandals on she stood up only to be pulled by the hand again but she willingly followed Emia.

-"Eh? S-something we like?"

She answered to Emia's question while looking around on the clothes in the shop with wide eyes as she was awed by all the garments on display, she looked around some more and even let go of Emia's hand as she walked around in the shop untill she stopped in a corner of the store. Timea's gaze rested upon a small simpl plain sundress it was blue like the sky and the hem of the dress was a cloudy white colour, the dress had no special things about it and it was only made of a normal fabric but for some reason Timea found herself drawn to the dress as she reached out and felt the fabric with her fingertips.

-"... It looks like the sky..."

Salzem

Emia wasn't offended in the least when Timea let go of her hand to explore. In fact, while she did, the tainted followed suit, looking about at the different scarves, skirts and specifically sandals on sale, looking of a pair to replace on her next month's allowance. Every couple of moments, though, Emia glanced back at her friend to see how she was doing, if she had found anything worthy of her, though for the first few times, she was still thoroughly checking. About the 5th or 6th time, Emia looked at Timea to find that she was somewhat entranced by a cloudy white hemmed blue sundress when there were far more beautiful garments around. That was not to say that Timea would not look good in this (as she would look good in anything), but Emia was simply surprised by her choice. The red-eyed girl walked up behind Timea, leaning her head over her shoulder to get a better look at the dress she was eying, but also to get a glance at her expression. She looked entranced... enraptured almost by the dress as if it spoke to her... told her things. That was reason enough for Emia to buy this for her, was it not? She wanted to see that gorgeous-eyed girl smile once more.

"You like it, huh...?" She smiled, glancing at Timea from over her shoulder before taking a step back and addressing the cashier.

"Do you mind if we try this on?" She asked. The man nodded before going back to his work, leaving the two girls alone with that answer. "I guess he means yes..." Emia gestured towards the back of the shop where a changing room awaited, most eager to see Timea in her new dress... No doubt it would be better than what she had on now.

"Ready to try it on...?" Emia asked, winking lightly.

Scythe-Nova

Timea looked upon the dress until she heard Emia talk to her and thus looked at the red eyed girl, Did she like this dress? Yes she did very much so actually. When Emia asked her if she was ready to try it on she nodded silently with a excited expression before picking up the dress and going into the dressing room, the tattered cloth she had been wearing almost flew off from her as she undressed and revealed her naked body.

-"..."

She held up the dress in front of herself and looked at it for a few moments before carefully putting it on, she had a little trouble getting it on but she eventually got it right and when she did she took more than a few moments simply reveling in the feeling of actual clothes. She blushed slightly as she stepped out of the dressing booth and stood in front of Emia with a shy expression on her face.

-"How... how do we look?"

Salzem

Emia waited outside the changing room patiently, wondering what exactly Timea would look like in her new dress... She already knew Timea was cute, and beautiful on her own and the dress was all that and a bag of chips but would the two go together...? Obviously she thought so, but she wasn't really an expert on fashion... One thing was for certain, though and that was that she couldn't wait to see her adorable friend in her new dress.

After a few minutes, Emia was starting to grow impatient. It wasn't as if she was getting frustrated, but the anticipation was killing her. She wanted to see her now... she wanted to see what she looked like before the ideas in her head got too far out of control... Slowly, shakily, she raised a hand to the wooden door but before she could even knock, it swung open... revealing the gorgeous sight of Timea in her beautiful blue dress...

It looked as if she were wearing the sky herself with clouds woven into the lining. She looked like a goddess, if a meek one, asking how she looked in the most adorable way of communicating. At first, Emia didn't have an answer. She was in awe, dumbstruck, surprised and other words that mean the same thing.

"I... wow, Timea..." She whispered, taking a step closer and to observe her from all angles... The dress brought out her best in curves and lines, but not in a revealing sense. It was pleasant, not really arousing and somehow that got Emia regardless... perhaps the way she wore it.

"You... you're beautiful..." With that, she blushed... hard... she couldn't help it. Perhaps it was the way she said it, the gravity in her voice, the way she stressed that word of beauty or perhaps it was the fact that she wanted to say more, to praise her appearance to the high heavens...

"Uhm...." She muttered, looking back towards the cashier who was now behind the desk. "L-lets go pay for it..." If Timea grabbed her old "clothes", Emia would walk with her up to the counter and pay what was on the price tag, surprised by how much of a BITE it took out of her remaining allowance... They'd have some explaining to do when they got home... They'd walk outside together, but Emia would stop her a few steps back outside the shop, pulling the girl into a loving hug, one hand wrapping around her mid-back, the other wrapping up and placing a hand on the back of her head, stroking her hair.

"I'm so happy to know you..." she whispered before pulling away and gently pressing her forehead to Timea's in their own special way, but this time her eyes weren't closed... she was staring right into hers.

Scythe-Nova

Timea tilted her head slightly when Emia was silent and worried that it did not look good on her, But she breathed in relief when she complimented her and got closer to look at her. Her blush grew more intense as she felt Emia's gaze sweeping over her form but somehow it also made her feel warm all over, she went back into the changing room and picked up her old rags when Emia asked if they should pay for the dress before following her to the counter.

-"..."

Timea had not really processed all that had happened yet and followed Emia as they went outside but when she stopped and got hugged her mind started to catch up, Many thoughts ran through her mind and she even got a little scared that she had acted as if she had taken the clothes and Emia's money for granted and many other similar thoughts made her almost panic. "I'm so happy to know you..." Her breath caught in her throat and her eyes grew wide as she looked at Emia as she put her forehead against her own, Timea's worries melted away when she looked into Emia's eyes and her eyes began to tear up.

-"T-thank you.. thank you so much."

Warm tears rolled down her cheeks as she smiled and embraced Emia tightly as she kept thanking Emia through her crying, She was thankfull to Emia who had shown her such selflessness and love Timea would likely never be able to repay her for showing her these things but she was sure gonna try.

Salzem

Emia looked worried when tears started to roll down Timea's cheeks, wondering if she had done something wrong or if she had upset her special person in some way... but then a small smile began to form on her lips as she thanked her over and over, her arms tightening around Emia as she returned her hug as much as she could. Emia couldn't help but tear up herself, holding the green-haired, gorgeous-eyed girl as close to her as she did, the two of them sharing another moment together that Emia wouldn't ever forget.

"It's okay..." she murmured, pulling away just enough to stare into Timea's eyes. Softly, she traced the area around the green-haired girl's lids with her thumb, brushing away any tears of joy that still marked her face. Emia was smiling too, a warm, loving smile that told Timea that she'd never leave her. Slowly, she'd lean in and kiss the girl her forehead before taking her hand from behind her head and gently cupping her cheek as she had a little while before. She kept thinking that there was no possible way Timea could get more cute than she already was and each time, Emia was proven wrong... It was actually rather impressive that she kept surpassing her ever rising expectations... it made her even more adorable...

"It's okay..." She repeated softly, staring into those multi-colored eyes of hers... those eyes that seemed to draw hers in like a vortex of emotions. Emia softly moved her hand from Timea's cheek down to her hand, intertwining their fingers before raising them together as if to show them to her. She smiled warmly as she did this but she eventually lowered them, gesturing with her head back in the direction of the bar.

"Ready to go...?" She spoke, her voice soft and smooth.

Scythe-Nova

Tears kept rolling down Timea's cheeks when Emia reassured her it was okay, but they dried up quickly when Emia brushed them away with her tumbs and she blushed as the red eyed girl kissed her on the forehead. When Emia grasped her hand and intertwined their fingers she gently squeezed her hand while smiling brightly.

-"Yes."

She answered with a nod gave Emia a big happy grin as she took place beside her precious friend while she used her other hand to wipe away the wetness on her face from crying, Timea would follow Emia wherever she took her even if in the very back of her mind she held some caution but such was only natural for her damaged mind. At this point Timea's hair had almost returned to it's natural unruly and frizzy state making her hair look much like before but with all the dirt gone it actually looked kinda good.

Salzem

Emia smiled as Timea did, the two of them sharing a wide grin before heading off in the direction of the bar for real this time... At this point, Emia didn't care if her father was worried or angry, if she grounded her or punished the red-eyed girl in any way. Nothing was going to ruin such a wonderful day... not for her and certainly not for Timea. Speaking of her... Every so often, the tainted-blood would look over at her and grin, sometimes surprised with how drastic a change she had made since this morning... Why, only a little while ago she was covered in mud and wearing a dingy piece of cloth as her only article of clothing... Now, she was clean, her skin smooth, almost pure, and that she wore the most beautiful sundress she had ever seen. In addition, while her hair had naturally taken to it's wild, unruly state, with it so clean and shiny in combination with her dress... it looked great. She was gorgeous... Emia couldn't help but smile each time she looked upon her because each time, she saw the transformation of a girl who once lived on the streets with no one to look after her to a girl that now had a home (in a bar, but it was still a home) and now had a friend that would do almost anything for her.

It wasn't long until they returned to the bar, Emia surprised that there wasn't as much noise or drunken singing as she was used to. Granted, the clinking of mugs and the clanking of tankards could be heard inside, but it was very slow-pace... passive almost... today must've been a slow day... Pushing open the door, Emia would lead her friend inside, observing that her conclusion was correct... The place wasn't even half full and those inside were drinking their liquor sparingly, almost sips, attempting to make it last...

At least, that's what it looked like. Meanwhile, Lanister was at his post, wiping down the counter in such a way it seemed as if he was drying to pick up every last crumb, drop and speck off the wooden surface lest they defile it permanently. It was a way to relieve stress, but also alleviate boredom, at least for him. Now...? It seemed that he was using it for both those purposes... Movement near the door caught his eye and he raised his gaze to see his daughter standing there. He smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but then he noticed the green-haired girl beside her, grinding his words to a halt. At first he didn't recognize her... She wasn't dirty enough, wore something fit for the rich and her hair was so much cleaner... It was when he looked into her eyes, saw their unique color to he realize just who this girl was... Timea and she cleaned herself up nicely... No doubt aided by his daughter who came up to the bar, pulling up a stool for her and her friend. From the looks of things, it appeared as if the two got along famously. He quietly laughed internally. He WAS right.

"Welcome back, you two!" He greeted, reaching out a hand to ruffle Emia's hair. "How was your time?"

"Good, dad!" Emia spoke, looking over at Timea with a warm gaze, Lanister following her eyes to the girl he'd let in. He waited for her response before continuing with his questions.

"Have you two been getting along?" He asked. By the looked Emia gave alone, it was clear what the answer was but he couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah!" Emia responded enthusiastically. "We had a lot of fun!" Her lips curled into a wide smile. Lanister's own grin grew tainted with speculation.

"What about you?" He asked, looking at Timea. "What do you think of Emia?"

Scythe-Nova

Timea did not loose her cheery attitude one bit when they walked through the town back towards the bar, but as they neared the in she got a little shy as she heard the noise comming from the bar and kept herself behind Emia almost as if to hide a little behind her. Timea followed Emia to the bar and hopped up on the chair next to hers, When Lanister spoke he looked up at him with a happy expression on her face.

-"We had a great time"

She said with a cheery voice as she looked over to Emia and nodded in agreement that they had a lot of fun, When Lanister asked her about what she thought about Emia she lightly scratched her cheek on the end of the scar she had there before looking up at Lanister wiht a big smile.

-"We Love Emia."

She said with a bright voice and gave Lanister a wide smile, Timea was not embarrassed to say it because she did not fully understand it but Emia had told her that she loved her and Timea was pretty sure that she also loved Emia.

Salzem

Lanister smiled as Timea reaffirmed what Emia had stated that the two of them had a good time. However, it was what she said next that made the tainted stop. She stated that she "loved" her... Lanister set down the rag he was using to wash the counter and took a good look at the girl before him... She wasn't shying away in the least as she said this... her face wasn't flushed red, she didn't hesitate for a moment... The only conclusion he could draw was that either this girl was so confident in her love she had no hesitations what-so-ever... or she didn't know what love was or what it meant. Either way, he glanced over at his daughter who seemed to be in the complete opposite state.

Emia was a wreck, her face so red it might as well have been steaming, shaking in her seat as if hypothermia had set in. She was taken completely off guard by Timea's complete admittance to the fact she loved her back and also the fact she would say it to her DAD of all people! The things he would say... he might not even let them see each other again! What would she do!? But that didn't stop her from wrapping an arm around Timea's sides, pulling her close even as she trembled in embarrassment and fear.

Lanister watched the two's contrasting responses with a silent gaze, his expression changing to one of a thinking neutrality. What should he do...? This was the first time something like this had happened to him, where he had to look out for his daughter in THIS way... Of course, like most parents, Lanister's first response was to become hostile, his parental instincts taking over like wild-fire... His second instinct, though was much more controlled... While he wasn't overly happy with this turnout at all, bringing the two of them together as friends and ONLY friends, he couldn't help but appreciate what was going on... The same thing happened between him and Nevayah and the two of them were still deeply in love all those years later. In the end, he made a silent decision... He was going to watch them... They were still young... children really, and he had to make sure nothing too... extreme happened on either side but beyond that, he wasn't going to interfere.

"Oh really?" He responded with a light smile, leaning on his elbows before reaching out with a hand to ruffle Emia's hair again, getting her attention. When she looked up, she was met with a kindly grin from her father, one that took away most of her embarrassment and her blush. Emia leaned her head on Timea's shoulder, Lanister watching the action with a certain minor intensity before his eyes flicked back up to Timea's. "I love her too, you know. She's my kid." He grinned a little wider, causing Emia to blush a bit deeper. "But in all seriousness, is there anything I can get you two to drink? This is a bar after all."

"W-water..." Emia responded, Lanister silently snickering as he pulled out a glass from under the counter (two if Timea wanted something as well). After getting the two their drinks, Lanister would return to his cleaning of other glasses on the other side his bar, making sure they was crystal clean... He was really gunning for the promotion.... But also leaving the two alone so they could talk more naturally. His presence would only be an inhibitor after all.

Emia would turn to face her friend, wondering whether she should be angry or if she should cry... Heck, she might do both of those things... In the end, however, she only let out a soft laugh, feeling more comfortable that they were relatively alone again.

"I love you too..." She sighed, holding her friend close.

Scythe-Nova

Timea was somewhat confused by the silence of both Lanister and Emia after that she had said she loved Emia, her gaze moved between the two until Emia hugged her close making Timea blush a little but otherwise leaning onto Emia with a sweet smile. Timea followed Lanisters hand with her eyes when he reached out and ruffled Emia's hair, she began wondering how it would feel to have her own hair ruffled gently like that but focused back on Lanister when he spoke to her.

-"Water"

She said almost at the same time as Emia with a bright smile and leaned onto Emia some more, When she turned to her and told Timea that she loved her again a blush spread on her face and she relaxed a little in her embrace. Timea reached out and picked up her glass of water and took a big mouthful of it using the straw, while drinking she thought back on the events of the day and also the wonderfull breakfast she had shared with her close friend.

-"We are glad we came to this bar last night..."

She said in a soft voice as she put back the glass onto the counter and looked over towards Lanister who was the one who had let her sleep in the bar and then introduced her to Emia.

Salzem

Emia couldn't stop smiling as Timea leaned into her a bit more as they both ordered their drinks, the same thing at the same time. When Emia reciprocated the green-haired girl's statement and saw Timea's blush, Emia couldn't help but snicker, tempted to pull the other girl into the same seat and sit with her. Though that would certainly be a post perilous task for everyone involved, Emia would be willing to take that risk were there nobody else around... especially her dad... Speaking of him, the young tainted noticed that there was a distinct lack of ice that came in her cup, a fact that bothered Emia to the extreme. Her dad knew how she liked her water! When she says "Water" she expects there to be ice in her cup! Is that unreasonable? No... What was was that her dad made this into a quiet little joke between them. That one accident that day when her dad forgot her ice... that day where she maaaaybe overreacted too much and caused a scene... that was now a gag between her and her dad, Lanister seemingly testing his daughter to see if she'd be baited... Well... not this time... Huffing frustratedly, Emia reached out and took her cup in her free hand, interrupted by Timea's remark before she could do anything. Suddenly, then anger melted of Emia's face as she spoke, letting out a soft sigh of contentment.

"I'm glad too..." She agreed, gently squeezing Timea's side in an effort to tickle her. Snickering, Emia brought her cup to her lips but before she tilted it back to get to the water itself, a light wave of frost washed over the cup, some of the water freezing over into ice within... Granted, it wasn't perfect cubes... but it was ice... Emia still hadn't gotten that good with her minor magical talent yet... not yet... She hadn't had the time to practice with aesthetics... Smiling nervously, she'd look over at Emia as she put her cup back on the table.

"Do you want ice with that...?" She asked, laughing, trying to imagine herself as a waitress.

Scythe-Nova

Timea closed her eyes and giggled a little bit when Emia tickled her and squirmed a little against the red eyed girl, when Emia used magic she could physically feel it and it made her gut feel like it froze and tightened. Fear gripped her heart as she stared at the ice in Emia's cup, she did not want to hold such fear towards Emia who had been so nice and selfless to her but she could not help fearing those using magic.

-"...Is.. is E-emia a m-mage?"

She stuttered as if she was terribly afraid all of a sudden, she had suddenly started to break out in a cold sweat she asked and looked timidly at Emia. She did not however move away from Emia she wanted to at least belive in her that much, Timea hoped with all her being that Emia had nothing to do with any mages.

Salzem

Emia snickered a little herself as Timia squirmed in her grasp, encouraging her to tickle the green-haired girl some more, though she stopped lest it get too competitive. When she froze her drink a bit and asked her friend if she wanted hers chilled as well, Timea's expression completely changed, becoming fearful to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. Emia could feel it on her own skin as she held her friend, Timea's increased pulse, her quicker breathing, the sweat on her skin but mostly that terrified look in her eyes as if Emia had just threatened her life... At first, Emia didn't understand why she was acting this way, what she did to make her friend become so terrified but then... when she stuttered out if she was a mage did it all click with the young tainted.... Emia thought back to the story Timea told her about her life, how she had been enslaved to a mage, how she had gotten that scar across her cheek and jaw because of that mage... She must be fearful of mages because of how they treated her and by extension, magic! Emia couldn't help but feel horribly guilty for bringing that kind of fear upon her, for unknowingly making her fear her like she was her enemy... If Timea let her, Emia would gently set down her drink on the counter and pull her closer onto her stool (stools meant for much larger men), gently pulling her into her lap so that now Emia sat behind her. Emia looked into Timea's eyes with sincerity, but also with a warm, gentle look designed to soothe the other girl.

"No..." She stated, wrapping her arms around Timea's stomach, gently resting her cheek on her shoulder. "I am no mage.... I just know a little magic is all...

Scythe-Nova

Timea was trying her best to calm down as she looked at Emia's expression and it looked like something clicked in her mind after a few moments, Timea twitched a little when Emia pulled her onto her lap but she did not resist. She was still like a frightened little animal even though she tried her best not show it, She looked back at Emia as best she could from where she sat and saw only warm feelings. The icy feeling in her gut melted away slowly and her shaking stopped as she leaned back onto Emia, She listened to Emia in silence and softly leaned her head against Emia's own.

-"S...sorry for getting scared.."

She said almost whispering as she placed one hand on one of Emia's hands that was around her stomach, She smiled slightly and looked foward not really focusing her gaze upon anything in particular.

Salzem

As Emia held Timea in her arms, she felt her shaking, her fear... the way she seemed to hesitate when she pulled her into her lap... One might've thought Emia was some kind of bear, wolf or other intimidating clawed animal with a green-haired bunny in her grasp, the poor thing quaking and shivering as if to plead not to die. When Timea's eyes met hers, all she'd see was the warmth in the tainted's eyes and her shivering would slowly come to a stop, her fear slowly fading away as well. Emia smiled softly as the green-haired girl leaned into her chest as she held her, gently resting her head on hers as the two sat together, as content as could be. When Timea apologized for getting scared, Emia merely chuckled before letting out a soft sigh, her warm breath running down Timea's shoulder and chest.

"It's okay..." She murmured, her skin tingling somewhat as the other girl placed her and around Emia's as she held her stomach. For a short while, the two just sat together, staring ahead into the empty space before them, enjoying each-other's warmth like it was the only thing they needed. After a bit, Emia would let out another soft sigh of contentment before lifting her head a bit, gazing into Timea's eyes as best as she could from this angle.

"A-are you uncomfortable...?" She asked, just realizing she never asked Timea what she thought about sitting here like this. She was so timid... not voicing her opinions on things unless asked and now she could help feeling as if she was imposing this on her dear Timea.

"Do... do you want me to let you go...?"
