[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

For what? [ she keeps her arms wrapped his neck ] Did you hear me complaining?

[wishuponadjinn]

[A smile quirks up the corner of his mouth at that, leaning his forehead on hers as he dips to brush his lips lightly against hers. He pulls back before he's tempted to deepen it again.]

No. But I still... shouldn't do that in the hallway. [Or probably at all, but he's just ignoring that for now]

[moonheart]

As far as Knighthood scandals go, I think it ranks pretty low.

[wishuponadjinn]

Yeah, you're probably right. [He sighs, pulling back just a little bit more to catch her eyes. He seems to get caught up in her gaze, eyes tracing her features fondly.]

It's just that... [He had a chance to think and breathe and is realizing that he really can't go through with this. He and Faye may not have a real relationship, but he couldn't allow himself to "cheat" on her, even if she had done it to him first. What kind of man would that make him? What chance would he have at a real, functional relationship in the future if he had cheated during his last relationship?

He takes in another breath before continuing-] I can't do this. Even if Faye is [ and he stops again, swallowing deeply] cheating, I can't do that. No matter how badly I want to.

[moonheart]

So break up with her. [ she raises one hand to his cheek, her words insistent ] Be with me instead.

[wishuponadjinn]

[He just... stares at her, breathless for a few moments before he seems to recall himself, raising his hand to the one one his cheek and pressing a kiss to her wrist, a low groan crawling up his throat.] I can't. I- I wish I could, I do. But I literally. Can't.

[moonheart]

[ she stiffens a little bit, drawing herself away from him, and slipping her wrist out of his grip as she steps past him. ] I think I get it.

[wishuponadjinn]

No- Wait! Faith, you don't understand! [He moves to go after her, his hand stretched in front of him. But he lets it fall, his shoulders hunching at the same time, agony in his expression. No, she didn't understand, and he couldn't explain it to her. No matter how badly he wanted to, he had to let her believe that he just wouldn't break it off with Faye.

He doesn't say anything else, allowing his hand to drop to his side. There's nothing he hasn't already said, and can't expect her to understand. His face is pained as he keeps his gaze locked on her.]

[moonheart]

I should go. [ she takes a few steps further down the hall, hesitates... then keeps walking. ]

[wishuponadjinn]

[He watches her go, eyes glued to her figure until she disappears around the corner. His hurt is quick to turn to anger, face clouding over as he wheels to stalk the other way. He was going to find Faye, and he was going to make her release him, one way or another.]
