“Because I wanted to. I believe that’s reason enough, Camilla.”
Her name was felt like liquor passing through his lips for a brief moment. It burned. The formality he had used around her vanished for a moment as his tone became that of before he threatened her. Before he said he would hurt her if he saw her again. Well, he must have been confusing since he had approached her a fair amount since then. Fidgeting with his jacket, the blonde turned away before gazing at the sky.
“One generally gets presents for someone on their birthday to celebrate their birth. Almost as if they are repaying that person for being born. Like thanking them for living.”
“…I ought to be on my way. Happy birthday.”
{✿} That wasn't enough though. Maybe it would have if he gave her the gift in the past, in fact she probably wouldn't even question it. But things have changed. This wasn’t back then, he shouldn’t even be near her.So again she wanted to ask: Why was he?
{”Like thanking them for living”}
Was that what he was doing? Last time the girl checked he threatened to kill her. It was quite hypocritical. And confusing, or at least it was to her.
“W-wait!” Without thinking Camilla grabbed his sleeve in attempt to stop him from leaving. She wanted to ask more questions but fell silent once she realized what she did. “Uhm thank you.” The tealette let go and took a step back, keeping her face down to hide the blush creeping along her face.
