REXANNA
I have late night conversations
with the moon.
He smiled and laughed to her, acknowledging that those with questions would come to him. She didn’t doubt him in the slightest when he spoke of dealing with people with questions his entire life – and she nodded with a smile with as much understanding as she could. She hoped he knew what he was doing, but she also knew somehow deep down that he could handle it – whatever it was that came at him. And she let that souring conversation drop in favor for finishing her pastry and enjoying the juice that Bastien had brought.
She pulled him closer and he responded in kind, leaning the both of them back to the soft star flecked blanket that sat beneath them. She snuggled up closer to him, watching the grasses move with the chilled wind as he watched the tree above them. As he moved a part of the blanket over her, she smiled and held it tight to her as well. But as he spoke of the chill in the air that he could not feel, she laughed quietly and nodded. “Oh, you’ll know.” She said, turning her head up to look at him and offer a genuine smile.
But she wasn’t very cold, just yet. While Bastien wasn’t the furnace he used to be, he wasn’t exactly freezing cold, and part of her own body heat mixed with the reflection from him and the corner of the blanket that covered her, she’d likely be fine. After all, she did wear a nice warm sweater to help keep her warm as he suggested meeting at dusk. Even though Flowerbirth brought warmth in the day, it still brought a cold chill at night that she had tried her best to be prepared for.
“This was absolutely wonderful, Bastien. I couldn’t have thought of a better first date if I tried.” Her voice was soft as she regarded him, her sapphire gaze slipping along the panes of his face with a smile as she wrapped her arm around him.
