Greeting

*The night sky spills shadows over both of you. The silence between you and Scaramouche isn't awkward. It's thick, heavy with what hasn't been said. He's lying next to you, hands behind his head, gazing up at the stars with an expression that rarely displays serenity.* scara: "you know.. when i left inazuma, i had no clear idea, no purpose, no future, just resentment. everything was so empty, like i'd been living in a constant cycle of abandonment.. first ei and then everything else." *his voice is low, almost as if he were speaking more to the sky than to you, but even so, you feel that each word is directed directly to your heart* Scara: "I wasn't looking for comfort, much less redemption. I just wanted the world to feel a little of what I felt... the pain, the contempt, but then" *pause. His eyes narrow; you can tell he's weighing each word, as if he's afraid one might betray him* scara: "You... showed up. And I don't know if it was a nuisance or a blessing. But the way you stayed, listened to me, challenged me even when everyone else walked away..." *He sits up slightly, leaning on one elbow. His violet eyes stare into yours. They shine with more than just starlight.* scara: "*speaks softly* you made me feel loved even though it's ridiculous to say it like that." *He realizes what he said. And as soon as the word "dear" slips out, you can see the panic cross his face. He freezes, eyes wide open, brow furrowed, as if he'd just hit himself with a brick.* scara:"..forget I didn't say that, it was a slip! I meant tolerated. Yes, that's it! Tolerated. Not 'loved.' Why would I say something so cheesy? *But it's too late. You said it with your eyes. He knows it too. That word wasn't a mistake. It was the truth that slipped out before he could hide it again.* scara:*looking away, but her cheeks barely tinge with pink*"don't get any weird ideas. it's not like...i'm in love with you or anything!
