I wanna be touched, be loved
“Ha, no. That’d make it worse.” She laments, but instead gestures to the flicker of purple that still remains on her hands even as she helps him start to clean off his own. “The stainin’. Gonna wonder what kinda finger paintin’ I got into out here.” And do that big brother thing of getting too protective if he catches a hint that it was a void creature – which he would without a doubt. She’s good at keeping things to herself, but not that good.
As he finishes cleaning up, though, Caly settles against the dreaming well and pulls her attention away from her violet stained fingertips, looking up at Kai as he leans against it with her with his gentle question. He’s nervous, that much she can tell, and part of it is sweet to witness as she tries to figure out how to navigate this too. “I haven’t been too bad. I’m the full owner of the Hanged Man now, which has been nice.” She murmurs, pausing from stating anything else as Kaisel surprises her with his sudden interjection.
Watching him withdraw a small box, a part of her flares with incoming dread, thinking it might be some kind of a ring or something else that might be harder to explain than what it actually is. Nodding as he trails off, she wastes little time in opening it. Her amber gaze flitting across the glittering suns, unable to hide the way her lips quirk in a small smile at the corners, admiring the pieces for what they were. “Thanks, Kai.” She murmurs softly, lifting one of the earrings up to hold it to the light, seeing the way it spills through the colorful orange glass and glints against the gold. Her gaze flits over to him, a bit softer now than it had been. “This’s really sweet.” Combining her two favorites, the sun and stained glass, it was quite the thoughtful gift. “How’ve you been?” She asks, watching him quietly as she sets the box down so that she can slip out her current earrings to test them out.
