when I walk in a room, I can still make the whole place shimmer
Charlie beams up at him like he’s just confirmed all her favourite theories about the universe at once, her enthusiasm practically radiating heat now that the shrine has gone quiet. She nods so emphatically her curls bounce, blue eyes shining with absolute conviction. "She is the best," she insists brightly, as if this is settled fact and not open to debate at all. "Chaos just gets such a bad wrap sometimes, but really it’s about embracing change and going with the flow of things and doing what makes you happy instead of fighting it every step of the way." Her smile turns knowing and delighted. "And honestly? On pure starpower alone, Dygra is as powerful as Caido, so she’s absolutely worth it."
When Kaisel tugs her snug against his side, she fits there without hesitation, moulding herself into the space like she was always meant to be there. One arm wraps warmly around his back, the other circling his waist, her hands not quite able to meet but clearly determined to try anyway, the affection in the gesture effortless and sincere. She hums happily under her breath, content and glowing. At the mention of checking in with his gIrlFriEnd, Charlie lets out a soft, fizzy sigh of exaggerated disappointment, shoulders drooping just a touch for theatrical effect before she rallies immediately and nods. "Well," she says cheerfully, recovering with ease, "you know where to find me when you're ready!"
Before he can reply, she dart!s upward in a flash of motion and warmth, pressing a quick, bright kiss to his cheek, then she’s already dart!ing away down the hall, blood-splattered silk fluttering and laughter trailing behind her as she disappears back into her priestessly duties.
