ridge hesitated . " . . i - i . . you don' gotta . . r - really . . i just . . was , uhm - curious . "
" . . i d . . i dont th - think . . nothin' . . less you - uhm , tell me . . wh - what t' think . "
what’re you readin'?
@clawmarkns || “ oh, i’m not picky angel. you pick what you’d be willing to give me in exchange for that, and depending how persuasive and convincing you are you’ll have a response. ” ( though not hard to convince, there was something in her that wanted to see how far he’d go for something that simple. her eyes never one left him. maybe she really was sick. ) [ gonna pretend i’m not like a month late to this- don’t worry about it.!! ]
hmm.. * it was almost worrying how calm he felt when salem’s fingers ran through his hair. emmaline’s eyes flutter for a split second, one of his canine teeth digging into his cheek. a huff of a laugh comes out. * well.. just what would you want?
* / i thought i sent this yesterday mb ☹️
@clawmarkns || “ what, hypothetically, would i get for admitting that.? if it were true, of course. ” ( her tone was teasing, a small, faint smile on her lips. she hesitated for a moment before running her fingers through his curls, something she did impulsively out of both wanting to see how soft they were and not wanting to stop touching him. she wondered if she was sick. )
“I lost a tooth, wanna see?”
" y . . y' got all th - this . . for me ? " she looked at the other with wide eyes , glancing over the food and comfort items in front of her
" . . uhm - can . . can y' help me . . w - with this , uhm , book . . ? "
they nod , scampering over to the little corner they set up - a cover and a few pillows propped up there .
" i . . i - it was . . an accident . . "
" . . mhm . 's b - better . " she almost immediately calmed back down - salem gad gotten pretty good at finding wording that made ridge less anxious .
@-damaaged- || “ .. if it makes you most comfortable, then we can say that you’re staying here. is that better.? ” ( it was the same to salem, she really didn’t care about the label, but if that made things easier for ridge then that’s what they’d say. )
she hadnt really thought about it . yes , she had been staying there . . but she hadnt really settled in . she slept on the floor most nights , kept her bag packed at all times , and spent most of her day outdoors . " . . i . . st - stay here . . l - livin' . . livin' s - somewhere 'gain . . sounds , uhm - scary . . "
“You have any good book recommendations?”
d . . do y' got . . bandaids . . ?
" . . o - oh . 'm s - sorry . i . . almost , uhm , died , too . i . . i - i can . . do 't m'self . . 'm s . . sorry . . "
@-damaaged- || “ yeah, died. i came back, of course, but i’m not .. fully alive. or fully dead, for that matter. i’m just .. here .. ”
` ` do ya live here or somethin ? i think ' s closin .. i could give ya a ride home if you want ` `
` ` yeah, ' s supposed ta start rainin here soon, plus ' s dark out almost ` `
@blackcqt-
“it’s pretty late. i don’t believe anyone should be up right now?” it came out like a question, his brows furrowed.
@lostgoblets || “ i should, yes, ” ( the undead girl spoke, looking at him. ) “ but i don’t see why. so i’m not going to. ”
@lostgoblets || “ .. it won’t hurt me to be awake, don’t worry. i do not need the sleep. ”
