[ he looks back to her, eyes searching her face, but there's something off in his expression and her sense motive picks up on that, even as he raises a hand to brush back her hair and say: ] Darling, there's nothing I want more.

[socialgraces]

[ she gives him a small smile, leaning into his touch, and she wants so badly to just give in and move on, terrified of what he might be holding back ] ...But you don't think it's possible, to make this work?

[valdrin]

I never said that. [ /aggressively doesn't... not say it. DOUBLE NEGATIVED ]

[socialgraces]

But you're still holding something back. [ and she just look s-so sad ] I can tell.

[valdrin]

I was under the impression that relationships were about compromise. I'm attempting to give you precisely that. [ and he sounds a little testy about it ] I can't make myself happy with the fact any more than you apparently can dissuade yourself from your feelings. But so long as we accept that, then very well.

We're even.

[socialgraces]

You're right. [ she sounds embarrassed and slightly less sad, but she does reach for his hand, holding it in hers } I never expected you to be happy about it, but I do want you to be happy. So, as long as you believe I can make you happy - that you'll be happy with me - then that's all that matters... to me, at least.

[valdrin]

Wonderful. That's all settled then. [ forever :| he rubs the back of her hand with a thumb, pulling her closer ] You make me ecstatic, darling. Never believe anything less.

[socialgraces]

It'll be better, once I'm back from this mission. We're just always apart and I spend all that time missing you, and worrying about you.

[valdrin]

Worrying about me? [ well now he just sounds amused. ] Do you fear I'll be throwing myself headlong into danger?





Because, yes, that does sound precisely like me.

[socialgraces]

[ she chuckles, ducking her head a bit ] I worry about everything, I can't help it. But I know how I get when left alone too long with just my thoughts, and I feared you might be feeling the same.

[valdrin]

I think I'm the one who should be worried, considering what you're involved in.

[socialgraces]

I thought that was why you gave me this. [ her free hand reaches for the diamond at her throat ] So you wouldn't need to worry.

[valdrin]

That was the plan, yes. But now I worry that someone will take it from you. It's very inconsiderate of the plan to have such a loophole.

[socialgraces]

Oh yes, so very inconsiderate. [ she can't hide that she likes that he worries about her. It means he cares, ok ] But I do promise to protect it, with my life... quite literally. And I've been keeping it hidden, just in case.

[valdrin]

It doesn't look so hidden right now. [ which he sounds... pretty pleased with. ]

[socialgraces]

It's beautiful. I couldn't miss a chance to actually show it off. [ along with all this cleavage ]

[valdrin]

You said something about reservations...?

[socialgraces]

[ her grin turns more flirtatious as she leans in closer ] Oh yes, I insist you have the chance to show me off, so I made us dinner reservations for this evening. [ but she knows he means the hotel and is just the biggest tease ever ] Although I think I'll be plenty satisfied with room service for the rest of the weekend.

[valdrin]

Well then. I fail to see what we're still doing here.

[socialgraces]

Mm. You're right. [ as she wraps her arms around him finally pulling him close against her. she's happy and her whole demeanor reflects that - she's comfortable in his arms and much more relaxed than she's felt in ages. ] And we have plenty of time to get acquainted with the hotel room before dinner.

[valdrin]

[ DID HE DO GOOD. YAY. time to feel a little self-satisfied about that, because oh, hello~ he returns the embrace and leans down to kiss her ] I do love the way you think.

[socialgraces]

[ not sure exactly what he did, perhaps just having her concerns addressed really gets her going (god she's such a woman), but she got a 12 will save and a 67 charm check, so they're probably not really going to make it out of this room anytime soon. ]

I've been thinking all sorts of things I'm sure you'll enjoy. [ as she smiles enticingly, leaning in to whisper some of those suggestions in his ear ] But you still need to pack.

[valdrin]

[ jasdflaja yeah he just grins wolfishly and then presses her back down onto the bed. ] Or we can get a head start. [ awww yeah~ ]

[socialgraces]

[ if overwhelming lust and mind-boggling sex is what they have going for them, she is not above exploiting that to make him happy ] I do love the way you think.

[ and as she kicks off her shoes and pulls him into an eager embrace, she couldn't be happier herself ]

[valdrin]

[ bow chicka wow wow~ ]
