saria, about to explain herself someone: HEADSHOT
saria, expressing feelings: kristen, drops saria from space:
flashback- silence: WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME EVERYTHING. saria: you're not ready.
( in reality, saria was not ready for the consequences. she still isn't. )
克丽斯腾
i was supposed to draw something sad but my hands slipped, so oops?
"... Tell me about her."
Silence couldn't deny that she found Kristen loathsome. For many, many reasons, the once-head of Rhine Lab was a person that she could never find common ground with. She wouldn't even give it the chance, had she still been on this planet. But she wasn't. And it was that that saw Silence sat beside Saria one quiet night, the Vouivre's eyes downcast and her mood low.
Silence couldn't forgive Kristen. But could she forgive herself, if she spoke only hatefully of the person that Saria had spent so much of her life with? The person that she had built the very laboratory that Silence now found herself working to make better?
"About Kristen, I mean," She fidgets briefly, "I don't... Actually know her. Just what I've experienced, some of what I've read. So... I want to learn. To hear it from you. So that I can..."
Be better. For everyone. But, especially, for you.
Though years have passed since that day, there were still moments where Saria could be found staring at the skies with little to say other than how beautiful it was. It would be followed by a reluctant and near silent sigh as they would prop their chin onto the palm of their hand, then rest their eyes for a moment. Their tail, already hanging low, would reach the floor, still and flat. Its spikes smooth against the body, feigning harmless. Though its point failed to follow in suit, jagged as it had been before.
Reports rest against the desk, completed and waiting to be sent off. All in all, there was little need for Saria to be sitting here in wait. There was little purpose in it, which was a very contrary thing to ever busybody Vouivre.
Even their breathing had slowed, and they had blended easily with their surroundings under the dim lighting, echoing the rumors of how statuesque the Vouivre could be - a cutting figure, as imposing and as solemn as a gargoyle.
Though they noticed the moment the doors had opened, Saria hadn’t moved, instantly recognizing there wasn’t any need. She wasn’t a threat. Still, Silence would be able to hear a quiet breath of air leave the Vouivre as she took a seat nearby - on their desk.
It was enough to draw their attention, shake them out of their rut and look towards her, at her. Then, there would be the slightest of twitch, a curl of the tail, as Silence mentioned her name.
Of course.
—Of course, the Liberi would know.
Even after all this time, there would always be moments where they would be acting this way over her. It was a topic they’d generally avoided behind closed doors when it came to personal matters. The Vouivre was well aware of what the world - and Silence - thought of the Perro, and they understood why. They knew just why they should believe the same, but it’s … still difficult to place into words. Just as Silence would hold a place in their heart, just as Ifrit would, just as Muelsyse would — just as every other part of their little makeshift family, a part of their heart had gone that day.
Any other time, Saria would have evaded the topic.
( It would be easy enough to: listing reports that Silence must have already read, rattling off things Nasti, Justin Jr., or any of the other directors would have said. Their eyes shining bright, ever captivated by the woman’s charisma, despite all her misgivings. It would resolve nothing and keep whatever emotions they had locked up as they always did—as Muelsyse has yelled at them more than once over, as everyone had, truly. )
But, Saria didn’t, not this time.
The Vouivre could sense the hesitance in Silence’s form; there was none of the usual dislike or hate. It was an open and honest. There was space for them to think and choose their words at their own pace, a far different cry than the usually highly spirited sense of ‘distaste’ the Liberi had for her.
Perhaps, it was that bold and curious mind that earned Silence her current role that bade her to pursue this topic. If that were the case, it would be difficult to deter her in the end.
So, Saria attempted to put the nameless feelings into words.
oh. they're really pushing the shop here now.

Lack of Sleep Starters!
pronouns and context can be changed as you see fit.
When was the last time you actually got some rest?
Alright, that's it. You're going to bed, and I'm not taking no for an answer.
Look at you! You're spilling coffee.
You have bags, and I'm not talking about the Gucci kind.
Jesus, have you been awake the entire night?
It's 4am. You need sleep.
You're safe here. You can rest now.
I promise, I'm fine. I just look tired a lot, thanks to... the tiredness.
Look, I'm okay! I've pulled all nighters before.
This isn't the first time I've gone without sleep.
I'll carry you to bed if I have to.
Do I need to baby you?
Huh? What? I'm awake, I swear!
You just ran into the wall. It's time to lie down.
Go. To. Bed. That's an order.
I made a nest for you. You can sleep in that, if you want.
Can I get an extra pillow / blanket?
Want me to tuck you in, too?
I'll check in on you in an hour. You'd better not have moved.

“I never noticed your eyes were this [colour].”
“Your heartbeat’s really loud.”
“You asleep?”
“I like this, being so close to you.”
“Your hair keeps falling into your eyes, do you know that? Here, lemme just—”
“You’re so, so, so pretty.”
“I just — I’m breathless, okay? Whenever I’m with you, it happens.”
“You make my heart beat so quick.”
“You always know how to make me smile.”
“You’ll always be safe with me.”
[Kisses the other on the cheek]
“Always.”
“I can’t imagine being anywhere but here with you.”
“All my choices lead me to you.”
“I’ll never give you up.”
“I sleep better if you’re around.”
“You snore in your sleep. But… it’s adorable, okay?”
“I like this. A quiet breakfast with you.”
“There’re billions of people on this planet, and I love you. How incredible is that?”
“I trust you.”
[Holds the other’s hand when they think the other won’t notice]
“You keep staring at me instead of watching the film. What’s up?”
“Let’s push all of these stuff away. I wanna dance here right now with you.”
“Are we really doing this? Are we really slow-dancing?”
“When you laugh like that, it just — you’re so beautiful, you know that?”
“No, sorry, you laughed. I … I never saw it before. It’s — pretty.”
“You haven’t laughed in a long time, and I guess I was staring ‘cause I forgot how that looked like.”
[Puts head on the other’s shoulder]
“I will never let you go.”
“You’re the best thing to have ever happened to me.”
“You wrote me a song?”
“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.”

“I just feel calmer. When I’m with you.”
“You’re not in bed. I came looking for you.”
“What are you doing up? Come to bed.”
“It’s weird. I never thought I could feel like this, but you showed up. Now, it’s like I don’t wanna go on knowing I might lose the feeling.”
“I don’t mind sharing the blankets with you.”
“You’re cold. Come here.”
“You always do that. You always warm me up.”
“Stay.”
“It’s getting crowded. Here, hold my hand.”

Happy mother²'s day!
❛ i’m trying to be sneaky. ❜
" Then I would advise you to choose another target for your mischief. Dr. Kal'tsit is hardly one to tolerate your pranks, as calculated as they are. "
Leaning back in their chair, Saria lifts her attention from the latest report, setting down her pen to get a good look at the Doctor. A gentle sigh leaves her lips as she takes in the commander's form. No doubt, the state of her disarray was from the attempt.
Though, somehow, there is something... that catches her attention a little more than usual.
Pushing the chair back, the Vouivre stands. A few quick steps is all they need to tower over her, and, carefully, Saria reaches out to adjust her clothing properly—smoothing out wrinkles, brushing away the mess. Somehow, Zarina always manages to find a way to look dangerously attractive, even while technically messy.
It reminds them of a certain someone, and it has them sighing all the same.
" Just how did you end up this way? "
❛ my desire for a jetpack remains because you got me all excited about it. ❜
" — a jetpack. "
She repeated, flatly.
Where in the world did the doctor come up with such an idea that they'd been the one to influence such a line of thought? Was it because of that particular incident? The one they were still cleaning up after?
" You will have to take that up with Kal'tsit, and, perhaps, Closure." The Vouivre added eventually. Though they did not shake their head, there was one in their tone and their choice of words.
A part of them should have expected such eccentric behavior after having worked with one another for years now, but, somehow, she'd managed to find a new way to surprise them.
" — and no, I will not be getting one for your birthday. "
the amount of folks who sent 'i was trying to be sneaky' is great.
