a valentines day starter for @graunblida !
THE SOUND OF SURPRISE THAT EXITS as the bottle of sparkling wine pops is unsurprising . it's always been there , maybe more performance than reality by now , but isn't it part of the fun ? the pale , bubbly liquid is poured into two delicate flutes , brought over to her couch . she sits , holding one out to lexa . ❝ i'm absolutely ecstatic that you found some time for me , ❞ moxie says through a grin , and she means it . the games were a busy season for everyone , even those uninvolved . she's glad to not be entangled in it for this year , focused on other endeavors . it allows more time for little trysts and dallies when she isn't hunched over designs and plans until the wee hours of the dawn .
even at home , bare faced and in loungewear , she can't help a bit of fanfare . she knows who she is , it's present down to the way her shoulders pin back and her chin remains raised . ❝ did'ya miss me ? i swear i nearly went wild . ❞ exaggerated as her statements tended towards , there's no mistaking the genuine interest and affection that permeates .
