i've got this feeling, and i've got this shovel
between me and you you're in a lot of trouble
between me and you you're in a lot of trouble
In all fairness, Hotaru had not been looking to make a clean getaway. Perhaps it's even crueler of a confession, but Hotaru simply had not thought of George since that night she asked Sunjata to kiss her in the fields beyond the House of Midnight. What was worse? To have someone run from you, or to be so insignificant as to be forgotten entirely?
Whatever he thinks of saying, it doesn't prompt her to turn - not until he says her name. Even then she hesitates, summoning her courage and the persona she will require to sever this neatly. Turning with a sharp inhale to try and get the words to come swiftly so they might both retreat from this awkward moment, it's punched right back out of her when she turns and sees George standing there, daggers drawn and face wild with - anger? Terror? Hotaru has never seen either on his face, and is too concerned with the sudden appearance of weaponry to linger there.
"George?" It's a cautious thing, but there's something sharp and forbidding beneath it. A warning that she never thought she'd have to issue to him. "Put the daggers away." A command this time, arms unfolding and hands rising, palms open in a deescalating stance.
