“We’d better get some sleep,” Korren eventually says, moving to stand.
Embelia looks up when he offers his hand, nodding her agreement. She takes it, and stands. But she doesn’t let go.
Instead, she holds onto him all the way up the stairs, and to their rooms. She stands with him, and as he moves to release her hand, she tugs him close. She leans up, presses an ever so short and sweet kiss to his lips, and steps away.
Neither are blushing, neither embarrassed or shocked.
“Good night, Korren,” she says, voice a whisper as their hands part.
“Good night, Embelia,” he says. The two of them turn to their own doors, cherishing that taste of what could have been. Simultaneously, they open their doors and step inside, leaving their own private fantasy in the hall.
ty as per usual to @darthnell for the tag <3 i actually waited to do this until i had a last line that wasn't a total spoiler. so i kind of cheated. oh well.
It's a terrible plan. And it probably won't work. But she knows it's better than nothing, than fawning until the careers decide her usefulness has come to an end.
