⬥ ⬩ New Orleans accent sung playfully, “Hello darlin’.” With ease she slipped into his lap. Still dressed in her burlesque attire. “Enjoy the show tonight?” Lips pecked his as she looked up at him affectionately. Gloved fingers played with his hair. “What kinda night do you want? Party or peaceful?”

starter call. ⬥ michael ( @decryptids )

@decryptids sent --- > ❝ you’re not a burden. you’re my person. ❞ / josie to lizzie

maybe today had been emotional for lizzie, but hearing that definitely hadn't helped the situation. not the emotional one anyways. but it meant a lot to hear those words from josie, despite what nonsense she believed others were saying about her, about them. maybe everything being heightened for her just made the situation worse with feeling particularly bad for herself today. "i love you, jo," she stood up, moving over to wrap her arms around them in a hug.

@decryptids sent --- > you kissed me like it actually meant something. / snow to lucy gray baird

she isn't fully sure when something changed. the time when she saw him as just her mentor and then as someone she believed she had feelings for seemed to go by swiftly. maybe when she'd tried to save him in the arena or seeing how far he'd gone to help her. she'd kept that to herself, of course. but the kiss felt right and she nodded when he spoke up. "i believe it did, unless it didn't mean anything for you," she looked up at him. she'd accept whatever he would say next.

@decryptids sent --- > can't we just sneak off ? no one will notice. / baela to rhaena

truly rhaena wouldn't mind getting away from these rooms. they felt rather suffocating at times, but most people didn't truly understand her feelings. some tried to, but it often just came off wrong. at least that's how it always felt for her. but this was her dearest sister and rhaena nodded as she grabbed baela's hands, squeezing them. "i would like that, even if it isn't far away. just going away for even a little while is a great idea."

@decryptids sent --- > ❛ you can tell me if something is bothering you. ❜ / conrad to belly

a lot had been on her mind and still was going when began to bite on her nails. once his words settled in her head her eyes glanced upward to look right at his face. could i really tell him everything? did he really want to hear me ramble off my problems? she thought to herself, still looking at conrad. "i, uh, don't know. there's kind of a lot going on in this little head of mine."

SC.  ── he'd  come  back  home  frustrated  +  feeling  a  little  out  of  place.  the  worst  part  was  that  he  couldn't  name  why.  everything  was  where  it  was  supposed  to  be,  but  it'd  somehow  moved  a  few  times  while  he  was  gone  +  it  simply  didn't  feel  right  anymore.  he  was  out  of  touch  with  their  lives  despite  remaining  so  tightly  wound  around  them  all  during  his  physical  absence.  it  appeared  as  if  he  was  starting  over  with  a  family  that  never  let  his  seat  lose  warmth.  didn't  replace  him  like  he  feared  they  would.

a  smile  played  at  his  lips.  he'd  gotten  lost  in  his  own  thoughts,  completely  missing  out  on  at least half  of  hen's  (  @decryptids  )  story.  by  the  look  on  her  face  +  the  way  she  leaned  forward  with  anticipation,  he'd  correctly  make  the  assumption  that  it  was  his  turn  to  say  something.  anything.  ❛  no  ?  ❜  he  semi  confidently  responded,  pushing  himself  back  into  his  seat  to  unknowingly  create  distance  between  them.  that  didn't  look  like  the  right  answer.  ❛  uh...  yes  ?  i  don't  kn  -  can  you  stop  looking  at  me  like  that  ?  ❜

@decryptids SAID, " IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS. "

hands carefully cradle her brothers face, fingers pressing gentle into a welp near his eye where it seemed something, or someone, had struck him. same goes for the cut on his lip, the brusing she can see on his knuckles--what on earth did they have knights doing these days ? the idea of gwayne in battle, of him dying, unsettled the queen. ❛ oh, is it not ? ❜ asked alicent in an obvious irked tone. a scoff follows, shoved out of her chest as another drink of her wine is quickly had. ❛ i am surprised father would have you so close to battle, to danger. or did you choose it yourself, brother ? ❜ asked as hand takes hold of his own to hold in her lap.
