[she describes him, and,] Oh. [his grip on the weapon is nonexistent now] Does he have a brown fringe jacket? [pushing her to the side (“gently”), he addresses the empty street behind them] Stop fucking following me, man! I don’t have your money yet!

[then he rolls his eyes] What’m I doing? He can’t hear me.

[dragons-with-lilies]

{She folds her arms so that she can do something besides fidget.} He's close enough he should be able to hear you... {But thank god it's not anything serious. She was getting so nervous ahaha :'D} So... You're okay then?

{After he takes the money, she gives him even more space. God, something about him makes her anxious.} What a horrible thing to lose, hm? {A little smile, mostly to try to calm herself down. He literally did nothing but drop and take his money.}

[his eyes narrow even more, scrutinizing her under his cold stare. She has to be up to something, the fact that she clearly isn’t from around here (the accent giving it away) does nothing to settle his nerves.] [the money is stashed away, the same pocket as his gun is in…which he has just a few fingers on.] 

Yeah. Good thing ya…yeah.  

[dragons-with-lilies]

{And now he seems a bit nervous. Aaah her nerves!}

{But- She leans in close, doing her best not to move her lips too much.}

There is a man following you, he has been for a while. Have you noticed? {Maybe that’s why he didn’t feel his money fall.} It is none of my business. But I felt you should know.

[bcvndaries-archive-blog]

[ah fuck,]

…Don’t, uh. Don’t let on that you saw’m. [he kept his voice low, fingers tightening around his weapon. Dark eyes glanced back behind them, weighing the pros and cons of keeping the girl with him. Could use her as a shield, or as a witness… but could also show that they’d noticed the pursuer.]

…He still back there? What’d he look like?

[dragons-with-lilies]

{She tucks some hair behind her ear, her eyes all wide from realizing that this actually might be a serious situation.} Uhm, {She blinks, mentally scrambling around for details about the follower.} He might be? But he was tall, had brown hair and um... {How else to describe someone she only glanced at??} Was very intent on following you?

Yeah….yeah, Canice has been all over my arse making sure I’ve been taking care of myself. I’ve seen mother hens that don’t mother hen as much as him.

But I just….*She’s probably never heard his voice this shaky before and fuck, he’s not sure if he wants to run and drink the day away or punch something.* I fucked up and I’m sorry.

*She’s very thankful for Canice. Her chest felt warm from the appreciation.*

Thank you. *She was so gentle with these words, and wanted to hold Gwyn. Smooth his hair and hold his hand and-*

I’m sorry too. 

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He’s scratching awkwardly at the back of his neck and its obvious that he’s setting aside a lot of his pride to say this*

Look I…miss you, okay?

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She was trying to act calm and collected when he said he wanted to talk. And when they met outside.*

*He was nervous, and that in turn made her nervous. Was something wrong?*

*When- ah... Her heart. And her feelings for him, her stupid feelings rose up again. She put them to rest. Shoved them in a box in her mind and left it to collect dust.*

*And here he is. Nervous and just as handsome and charming as ever and... Stupid feelings burst out. Made her weak.*

I miss you too. *She meant it. Every last word. He was her friend and... She missed him.*

I didn't want to text and bother you... But I hoped you were okay...

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He glances at her. Once.*

*And he stands. God, he needs a drink*

*Excuse him as he heads to the bar without another word. He said what he needed*

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She watches him leave and-*

*No. That was his closure. He’s done.*

*a little nod and... goes outside.*

*Now that she knows Gwyn is in there, she doesn’t want Aldric to come in.*

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He’s looking at anything but her, his hand still at the nape of his neck*

*This wasn’t the place to be talking about this…*

I’m sorry. I was a real arse.

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She wants to throw it back in his face and be angry and be mad and sad and have a fit.*

*But... she just... Kinda laughs?*

*And... plays with some loose hair because yeah this is not comfortable*

Me too.

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He watches her for a moment before sighing, scratching the back of his neck*

*This was so awkward*

I’m…sorry.

[dragons-with-lilies]

*That got her attention.*

*She looks up at him, obviously surprised.*

What?

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He moves to get off the bench and stops when he sees her*

*Oh.*

*They’re close enough to speak, but he could take the easy way out and just brush past her to the bar*

Noswaith dda.

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She can feel her cheeks burning. She can’t look at him.*

Hey.

*She wants Aldric to come and get her so she can leave. She wasn’t ready for this. All the imaginary conversations she’s had with herself in case this ever happened didn’t help. He’s here, looking like he’d rather be anywhere but here and she just...*

*Wants to cry.*

*Wants to leave.*

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*When the song is over he leans back on the bench, just wanting to relax up there for a bit. He sold his own piano to make more room in his house, so he hasn’t played in quite a long time. He really, really missed it.*

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She makes her way to the piano to gush all over this person, until she sees who it is.*

*And her legs don’t move. Nothing moves.*

*But she has to do something or he’ll see her! But!! Panicking!!*

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He missed this, he realizes as a few people who actually listened gave him a cheap round of applause.*

*He could do one more short song, even if it wasn’t really good for a bar.*

*Yeah, All Through the Night was short and sweet. He could play that and be done afterwards*

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She kinda watches the person play. The way their shoulders move. How they’re kinda hunched at the keys.*

*She finishes her liquid courage and heads over to the person to thank them for good music.*

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*The sound was rich, the piano tuned well*

*It was a lovely sound and a lovelier feeling.*

*He lets himself get lost in the music as his fingers drift over the familiar notes that would form The Ash Grove*

*It was such a familiar feeling*

[dragons-with-lilies]

*The song made her smile. It also made her drink taste less... gross.*

*And as soon as it began, it was over. She moved again so that she could see if they were planning on playing another song. If not, maybe she could go over and compliment their playing? Before she left. Or Aldric got here.*

[bondsofbrotherhood]

*He was surprised that this bar had a grand piano in it, but the bar overall had a sort of classical, timeless feel to it, so it wasn’t out of place. And luckily, he had already made sure it was alright for him to play it (even though he’d gotten some suspicious looks) so no one got upset at him for sitting down at the bench, letting his fingers drift over the keys*

*It had been a couple of months since he had last played, but he still worried about being a bit rusty*

*But he decided to brush that thought aside as he pressed down on the first key*

[dragons-with-lilies]

*She was sitting in a booth, away from the light, away from the laughing and the drunk. She wanted to be social. Just not with people.*

*she finished sending a text to Aldric and took a big sip from her mixed drink. The bartender here sucked. They added more juice than alcohol. Cheap.*

*Then... The first note hit her ears. Hesitant. It lingered too long. She smiled to herself. She understood that feeling.*

*She pokes her head around the booth in front of her to sneak a peek at who’s sitting at the bench, wondering if it’s just a drunk. Nobody was brave enough to go up there usually.*

*The persons back was turned to her. She couldn’t see them that well. She sent them a silent ‘good luck’ and leaned back in her seat, focusing on her phone once more*
