i think you know by now how i feel about you. /+ irulan, duneverse
this room is a cold thing. all straight lines and checkered patterns, and the alice is a dangerous creature in it. she is mean to stalk and spy even the most unsuspecting of people. the most guarded. what is the mind but a weak point. malleable and easily persuaded.
her powers at the moment are underutilized, overlooked and discarded. it burns her, burns her deep, she does not care for tonight there is something much more important than serving a cause she does not have her heart in. irulan sits there, statuesque. uninviting to some but alluring to alice, even in her mind she wears her garments, one of many, her words make her smile even from the distance between alice and the throne.
in her mind. in their shared dreams alice hides behind nothing. no veil no pretense, the icy cold exterior melts revealing only her. her steps long and striding, nothing conservative about how she waltzes closer and closer.
"you are a contradiction, living and breathing. your feelings confuse me. i wouldn't have it any other way." alice leans down then, long raven hair cascading as irulan remains under her stare. hands gently grab the end of the fabric and flip it up, revealing irulan in all her beauty. adoration in alice's green eyes. "-and even if my estimations, my guesses, my thoughts were correct. i'd much rather hear it from you. how do you feel about me?" it is here, in the sanctity of their shared space now, their dreams, who would even dare to take a look? it's almost a challenge, never could alice stomp that competitive streak between them there is nothing to compete for now. alice is at her rightful place, next to her, even if it's miserable, even if it's wrong for the heart. show me if you do not wish to say it.
