[ There is a thump, a gasp, and the clicking of heels. Someone just literally materialized in a wispy white glow right in the middle of the lobby, leaves falling from her clothes and hair.

Well, that certainly wasn't as intended.

She stumbles a little, momentarily disorientated, sharp eyes glancing around the room without really seeing. Give her a moment and she'll realized where she... landed.

Hi guys, how's life? ]

[well! She got him to jump, at the very least. He startles on his way toward the stairs, immediately falling back a defensive step or two.

Looking generally like an agitated cat, ready to cling to the ceiling or something.]

[ Does she get a medal? She should get a medal.

Trust her, she didn't plan on appearing out of thin air. It was totally not apart of her carefully constructed plan. She blinks rapidly, looking from the walls then falling onto him.

Ah. ]

Tekhetsio.

[the fact that it looks as though she unintentionally returned kind of hurts her case.

Once he gets over his surprise, sees that it really is her, he composes himself rather quickly. The tension ebbs out of his shoulders, a distant sort of frown replacing what had been on his face before]

...Back so soon?

[ She realizes quickly her blunder, she had been gone too long. Too long. ]

Sia nhee... [ How to apologize? Would any apologies be enough? Would her words be enough? ] I did not meant to stay away for so long.

[he waves a dismissive hand and turns toward the stairs again]

Yes, yes. I'm sure it must have slipped your mind.

[ Something inside snaps and fear overcomes her, a fear that her actions will leave her alone. Alone part of her wants, but another strong part fears it with every fiber in her body.

She starts after him, her hand brushing over his arm but not quiet grasping it. ]

Please... [ Don't go, don't leave, don't forsake me. ]

[of all the things to catch him with. It gets him to stop, at the very least, and turn to glance down to her hand.

He doesn't know what he thinks of this.]

'Please?' ...Please, what?

[ Her head drops, loose hair tumbling over her shoulders. Inwardly she curses herself, her nature, the giant contradiction that has her wanting isolation and companionship at the same time. ]

You're angry, upset. I left and did not return, or contact you. You who I hold above all else. [ As no other has earned her trust or affection like he has. ] Words cannot make up for my blunder, but I am sorry. It was not my intent. [ To hurt. ]

[he could accept any of this (which he does not deserve) and make short work of everyone going back to what had been before.

...Or, he could take hold of it and twist. Just a little. Just enough to make a point.

His empty and cold expression swaps out for a smile, though nearly just as cold]

Why would I be upset? You make it sound as though I was sitting wistfully by the window, pining for your return.

[ She looks up blinks and her expression drops, his tone alone enough to prompt her to build up walls. Instinct. Habit. Trying the hide the sheer terror a part of her feels. ]

Perhaps I was wrong. [ She thought, she thought─ ]

[as soon as he feels that wall reestablished, he feels better. He feels in control again. He sees her expression change, and knows that his effort was successful. So, with an easier breath, he turns to face her, holding out an arm as an invitation for her to come closer]

About?

[ Again her expression changes, confusion now colors it. Confusion and a touch of annoyance. ]

Many things, it seems.

[ Her hesitation lasts only a moment before she does, indeed, step closer. A punishment was it? He did not simply have to be mad, he had to make her pay for her blunder? ]

[he just needed to establish that his world in no way revolved around her. He didn't care enough to be upset, but was glad she's back. Really.]

Is there a reason for your sudden return?

[and accidental, by the looks of it. :\]

[ She didn't think as much, but still the fact has been thoroughly established. Another step and she is within arm's length. ]

My mind, my thoughts were here.

[maybe not as quick to pull her close as he'd been before, though he truly doesn't notice that one]

Was it a nice vacation, at least?

It could have been better. [ Isolation, while welcomed, is not often as fun as she thinks. ]

I assume you won't be leaving again soon, then?

[he'll... finally reach for her wrist]

You needn't worry, I have no plans on leaving again.

[annnd, once he has her wrist, he'll almost reluctantly reel her in closer. He's not quick to admit it, but he is glad she's back. He is glad that she seems to feel bad for leaving.]

At least leave a note next time. [--recycling something someone told him once]

[ She doesn't resist, allowing herself to be reeled in. The corners of her mouth quirk upwards, a smile and another more silent apology. ]

I will tell you myself, instead.

[ugh, fine. He draws her in close enough to loop arms around her waist.

Apology accepted.]

[ She relaxes at that, resting her head in the crook of his neck. ]

I missed you. [ She breathes out, hands settling on his chest. Her fingers idly pick at the fabric. ]

[yes, this is much better. And, with his earlier strike against her, he's able to relax as well]

I'm glad you decided to come back. [--not quite the same thing as her admission, but it's close enough]

[ It is more than she expected, to be honest. ]

How glad?

The fact that I care at all should say something.

[and, though his answer might have been flippant, he brings up a hand to comb fingers into her hair]

[ She laughs a little. ]

It does say quite a lot, but I wanted to hear it from your flips.

Why?

[only a little challenging, there. He's mostly curious.]

Because I just do. [ That is an proper answer, it totally is. ]

Does your ego need to be stroked? [he can't give her an easy time with this]

I am not the one who has a ego larger than a star.

Whoa.

[h-hey man. a few seconds earlier and she might have materialized right where he was standing. he spins to--wait, holy shit--]

Hey, you're still here?

[ Look, she doesn't choose where to materialize, IT JUST HAPPENS. ]

Ah─ [ A few seconds of rapid blinking. ] You. Yes, I am. I was in the mountains. [ BEING A DRAGON. B( ]

For... a long time, considering the last I saw you.

[wow, man. glad you didn't disappear entirely D:]

I have... been occupied a lot.

[ Aww, that's sweet. ]

Edited 2012-09-10 01:26 (UTC)

Hm. [...] Well, I guess... I'm glad you didn't disappear altogether. Tek'll be happy.

I was gone some time and my return wasn't planned, I am not sure happy will be what he feels.

[...he debates arguing that, since he thinks he knows Tek pretty well at this point... but he supposes Tek is prone to having petty fits over things.]

Mm. That's a good point.

[he kind of half-turns to go back in the direction he was originally going.]

Ah, well. Don't let him kick you around too bad.

[ E x a c t l y.

She huffs, offended by the pure idea of it. ]

I would like to see him try. [ B( Can hold her own thank you... nevermind that she is feeling guilty about not saying anything when she left. ]
