I wanna be touched, be loved
Her amber gaze flits toward him as he says he’s heard about it, though her gaze and mannerisms don’t betray the way it rankles her spine to hear it. Sure that he’d talked to Flora about it, she bypasses it with a soft little twist of her appearance, a smile that’s sweet in the way hot honey was sweet. Sweet on the tongue, sharp a few seconds after. “Yeah, somethin’ like that.” She murmurs, before shrugging a slender shoulder lightly.
As for him coming by to visit, she nods her head a little. “Prolly best if ya came when Nova or Vesper ain’t around. Reckon it won’t go over so well.” But an opening for him, if he did want to come and check it out. She wouldn’t stop him. It was a public business, after all.
Ah, but then there’s the earrings to look at, and as she works to remove the current gilded ones in her ears, she replaces them swiftly with the stained glass pieces he’d picked out, feeling the weight of them as they dangle and glitter, casting little orange and yellow hues against her shoulders. “I did hear ‘bout that, yeah.” She says of Stormbreak, pocketing the box in the pockets of her tight pants, before she leans her hip against the dreaming well and crosses her arms across her chest.
Her gaze sharpens a little as she tilts her head. “Yeah? Can’t imagine why.” She murmurs the sarcasm before she scans his face and takes a long and slow deep breath, steadying herself, because she isn’t entirely sure if this is just a catch up or the truth of everything getting spilled out.
“Look Kai.. I like you. But I ain’t interested in bein’ second. And I ain’t exactly good, so if you’re lookin’ for someone to support ya droppin’ them for a second to go an’ be the hero, it ain’t me.” She knows her flaws, she knows that it probably isn’t the answer he wants to hear, but it’s the answer she has for him. “I’m the type’ve girl that wants to trust that ya won’t leave me to go an’ fight for someone else. I wanna be the one fought for.” Her fingers tap against her biceps where she has them crossed, pausing to bite at her lip as she regards him and looks away briefly back to the destruction of the river stars. “An’ I’m not gonna be upset if you can’t do that. I’m not gonna ask ya to change if you don’t want to. I won’t be the thing you resent eventually. So if ya need to find someone else that can do that for ya and be a better person than me, then I think ya should.”
