day 27

I'd like to confer with you on a matter in private; may I stop by your quarters?

Certainly. I will meet you at the door.

I'll be there shortly.

[ IN A MINUTE OR TWO

KNOCKS ON THE DOOR ]

[As promised, she is there waiting for him and opens the door shortly after he knocks.

But first-- a kiss, before she invites him in.]

Come inside. We can speak in my room for a bit more privacy.

[ leans down and kisses back, already a little redfaced, body language unconsciously shifting closer to her ]

Yes- please. After you.

[She maintains a steady pace; allowing him to stay close to her side. And as soon as they are in her room, she gently but firmly shuts the door. Crossing the room, she sits on the edge of the bed and pats the spot right next to her.]

Come-- sit with me. Tell me what it is that's troubling you.

[ ssssits next to her, radiating nerves but a little more relaxed now that they're in private ]

Erm...

There were chocolates in the eatery that bespelled people into a... kissing compulsion. I offered to help Mister Roy but was also affected by a different substance that caused me to say far too much, and admitted that I wasn't against the idea because it felt to me like an extension of kissing Xerx...

[She listens in silence; watching him without any change in her expression. When he is finished, she hums thoughtfully, but with understanding.]

I see... so your true feelings came out, unrealized and you have yet to be able to process them fully.

Erm... Well, that's... probably true, too.

[ rubs the back of his neck ]

Of course, I was embarrassed that I said it, but that's not exactly what I'm bothered about...

I was... not exactly thinking of it in terms of my own relationship to Mister Roy when I offered. When I say it aloud, it sounds a lot more insensitive...

That is true.

[She won't pull punches. That would not help him in any way.]

However... you could not take into consideration what you yourself had not yet considered for yourself.

It is now a matter of how you wish to right that now that you have.

He didn't exactly give me a choice in the matter...

I already knew, but he... made clear again that he's jealous of our relationship with Xerx. Not... that he's jealous of us for having him, but that he's jealous of him for having us. He... I didn't feel like I could back out, so I didn't retract the offer, but it was... very apparent that he was trying to please me, which, um...

How do I put it... I feel like I went in too far by mistake, but now if I pull back he'll take it as a mark against himself...

...no matter how you care for someone, you cannot and must not put aside your own feelings for the sake of theirs.

Any kindness you feel you might do him will only hurt him more when it inevitably comes to the surface.

The greatest kindness you can do him is to be honest with him.

... You're right. I haven't really lied to him, but I've probably mislead him...

I'm... still not completely sure what the full truth I need to tell him is. I just wish there were more I could offer him... but I should just entrust that to Xerx.

I know you would never wish to do so. So if it is a matter of telling him that you are still undecided... I do not think it's unfair to do so.

And Xerxes and I will be here at your side no matter how things unfold.

[ soft huff ]

Of course. I'd never doubt that.

Good.

I would so hate to see Xerxes' idiocy rubbing off on you.

Never.

Ah, also- there's a recording, if you'd like to watch.
