life and its complications.

[It is a laundry day in someone else's mind.

He took extra steps to leave her alone to her task. She has quite a task ahead of her, and Nigel would only be in the way. Thus, he kept to cat naps, to shifting between waking and sleeping states.

Eventually, his throat demands a trip, and he emerges from his room with the intent to go to the kitchen. An intent that cuts short inches from his destination, when he catches sight of white-gold in the laundry room. Of skin he shouldn't be catching, a floral shape etched against the pale. White with a blue edge. Maybe. It's hard to tell with his sight.

Nigel halts, caught in an emotion unnamed. And as with all his awkward steps, he begins with words.]


A tattoo?
purificatio: (steps.)

[ She watches him, then, self-conscious, starts to move off. ]

Do you think it's dumb?
purificatio: (slight.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a weird boy.

She is going to lean against him. ]


I meant the meaning. And the origin.
purificatio: (sight.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[ An output of air. She straightens back. And despite her best effort, does not resist the urge to troll. ]

And what exactly did you see?
purificatio: (shatter.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ She stops.

It's a beat, one and only, but it's a visible reaction that she can't easily hide. She bites the inside of her lip, annoyed at some part of this interaction. Maybe her weakness. Maybe this boy. ]


Are you coming on to me?
purificatio: (fade.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shrugs, hands palm up coming up to her shoulders. ]

Ah, I see. I'm not good enough for you.
purificatio: (lost.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ She snorts, the least classy thing she has done in his presence. ]

That's an opinion, not a fact. You're normal, relationship-wise. So you have one-up on me there.
purificatio: (steps.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Nigel, you're a guy.

[ She says this plainly, so he can understand what she means. ]

You're a guy that's a guy. Relationship-wise, you're normal. I'm neither.

[ And she looks away, because it's so stupidly popular these days to say that. But it's true. ]

I can't be a girl for someone who expects it.
purificatio: (speech.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up at him, expression neutral. ]

And that's why I wouldn't be settling.

[ OH LOOK ICE CREAM PLACE IS NEARBY. =DDD ]
purificatio: (sight.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Oh. Blushing. Wow. Unexpected.

Welp, time to take his hand and pull him toward the ice cream. Hand. In. Hand. ]
purificatio: (tear.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ She stares at the line and its damnable human occupants. Acknowledges the boy's strange reactions at her side. Asks dryly. ]

Do you even want ice cream?
purificatio: (fade.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Abrupt turn. Linking elbows to drag the boy with. ]

...Home again, home again, gig-a-gig-gig.
purificatio: (found.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ The heights make it difficult but she persists. ]

Then obviously you must be around me more.
purificatio: (enjoy.)

[personal profile] purificatio 2015-07-03 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks to him when he touches her hair, expression neutral and light. It's wanted, that touch. Even if she does not say it. ]

So delicate. Perhaps I should handle you more gently. I'd be sad if you didn't want to be around me anymore.
