When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Soh's gaze softened as Zavien approached the table, not commenting on her momentary slip. She knew him well enough to know that he meant his muttered comment, which seemed aimed at no one in particular, but could only be meant towards her. If she was here, he really would make an effort to sit down to eat - and though it was a small, inconsequential thing, the thought warmed her in ways that it shouldn't, not when everything was still so undecided.
Fortunately, her question seemed a welcome distraction, though her heart still thrummed uneasily in her chest. "You sound like me," she laughed. "I eat out far more than I cook. I'm just glad the eggs are edible." Her fork stilled at the follow up comment though, her gaze flicking from her food and over to study Zavien's face. She was completely and utterly confused. He didn't regret their time together, he still wanted her around, and yet... and yet there was this weight hanging in between them on what should have been a happy, blissful morning. Did he want her, or didn't he?
Soh propped her head on her free hand, pushing her eggs around on her plate with her fork. "I'm not picky," she said distractedly. "I'll try just about anything." What did it mean that he wanted to keep food for when she came to visit? Did he want her to visit then? And for a repeat of yesterday, or just as a friend, or...?
"... can I ask you a question?"
