open ♔ fall/winter socialization log

[wynn]

  

WHO || Everyone! [ota]
WHAT || Shenanigans.  Sorry that it's covering like half a year.  Forgive me.  Let us never speak of it again.    
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres, etc!
WHEN || Any time in Fall/Winter 2016
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok. Characters who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.  This takes place after the Knights have returned from rescuing Gar in New York City, but before the planned Keijen Blade concert at the beginning of 2017.

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.]

[ he moves closer to her, bridging most of the distance as he looks down into her eyes ] I want to believe that.

In fact, you've never given me a reason not to. [ his eyes flick back and forth between hers ] I'm not afraid of you letting me down, Faith.

It's the opposite of that. You deserve somethin' better than what I'll probably ever have to offer. If we made this into something more, I couldn't live with myself if all I ever gave you was this man.

[There's a sinking feeling growing in her stomach. Something she's not entirely unfamiliar with, but it's been under different circumstances before. She shakes her head.]

You don't get to decide what I deserve -- what I want. [She reaches for his hand, trying to keep him here with her.] Maybe I didn't ever expect to have this shift into the something more category, but if it did -- I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't think I'm getting a bad deal, either. If I ever thought that you weren't good enough for me, I'd have let you know - [a beat] a while ago.

[roams]

[ he looks down, as if he wants to say something else, but instead what comes out is: ] I just don't know, Faith. I don't know where this is going.

I don't like to look ahead.

[msattentionspan]

And I do? [She shakes her head, trying not to get frustrated. She knows that it's a lot easier to get frustrated than it is to get upset, so she's trying to stay away from the shortcuts.]

I'm not exactly buying a day planner, here. [She sighs.]

Hell, I only started saving contacts in my phone in the middle of last year. [She was living off the recent calls list for most of her life.]

It's fine. [She doesn't want to really go any further than they already have in this conversation. It feels like it's going somewhere she doesn't want it to go, or isn't ready to go toward.]

We don't have to sort it out. [That sinking feeling makes her assume that it'll sort itself out and she'll just have to handle it then.]

[roams]

You're sure? [ he seems to be relieved at least, by her concession, but doesn't quite pick up on her discomfort with it ]

[msattentionspan]

Five by five. [It's a standard reply. It's something that comes automatically. Something she doesn't have to put thought into.]

We should get out of here.

[roams]

Yeah. Think you're right. [ and off they go...

we should discuss what happened, if anything, between then and faith leaving at some point! ]
