✱ - take my muse by the hips to carefully move them out of their way
manhandling starters. | @ignisthepyro | open.
Despite what the Pyro’s towering silhouette presented, he was deceivingly delicate — Katharine hadn’t noticed that Ignis had placed his hands upon her hips until he had applied enough pressure to guide her out of his way. Truthfully, she was acting as an obstruction to in and oncoming traffic; having stood in the middle of the hallway, chin held between forefinger and thumb in thought as she studied the bulletin board that hung on the wall just before the mess hall, for quite some time before Ignis shuffled her out of the way. As he does so, there’s a hitch in the Intern’s breath that she holds, as if reserving it to scold him once he releases her.
Just as they had floated down before, Ignis gently takes his hands from Katharine’s hips. There’s a look of indignance that crosses the woman’s features as she looks over her shoulder, green gaze nearly hidden behind a vexed squint.
