[she smiles, a little, as she smooths down her bodice]

[there is increasingly a 'but'. Always there, at the edges of her mind...

"So I do," he agrees, once her soft lips leave his.

"Why," teasing, "don't you believe me?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Because I've spent so much time among the flatters.

[and she says it with a smile, but it's true.]

"Well, that is sad," he says, "but I still speak the truth."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

I know.

[and then she snugles back down again, because la he is warm and comfortable and she likes having his arms around her]

Mmmm, I'll write out my resignation in the morning, maybe. I'm too comfortable right now.

He chuckles, again, chest rumbling against her.

"I am glad to hear that. Spend the night with me?"

It is somewhere between an offer, and a request.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

I don't wish to be anywhere else.

He simply curls his arms around her a little tighter, at that, and says nothing.
