[  despite the utter want to participate on the game alongside the other,  unfortunately his peripheral vision had caught sight of his segyein partner.  nathaniel silently panicked,  given the way one's orifices widened.  ] ⠀oh⸺ let's just go somewhere else,  yeah? ⠀[  playing it off casually with a nervous smile,  he held her hand..  urging her to simply come along with him whilst they hurried to someplace where they wouldn't be seen.（..）and what better place could there be than the ferris wheel?  luckily,  the attraction wasn't hard to miss.  ] ⠀what about there?  have you tried that?  ;;

@taintskin,    i've never been able to venture out so far before.  what's this game?

[  silently,  nathaniel ducks his head.  likely for her not to inspect it—  it was already embarrassing showing up like this,  all disheveled..  perhaps he shouldn't have bothered him.  ] ⠀i already treated it,  a little earlier..

@taintskin,         that shouldn't warrant the bruise on your face,  can you let me see?  i can find us some ice.  there should be some in my mini—fridge.

[  he felt an unexplainable rush of warmth to his body to their small contact,  his heartbeat quickening  ..  something he's so foreign about.  he wanted to reach out to her,  wanted to talk⸺  but midway,  he could only retract his hand.  understanding that one should know their place,  an unsuited pet human.  ] ⠀y—yeah..  i hope i can get to see you again!  could i..  ask when you'll be performing again? ⠀[  visibly giddy,  nathan tried to compose himself despite how exuberant he was.  ]

@taintskin,       [dark irises had unintentionally found it's way through the crowd.  her gaze engrossed by a man who seemed just as enraptured with her performance,  as she was with him.  there was what seemed to be a moment of silence,  yet also an exchange between the two of them was undeniable.  the moment the show came to a close,  amélie—while hesitant—approached the stranger.  graciously accepting the bouquet with a smile,]    you're too kind,  please.  i'm glad you enjoyed my performance  ..

∗     like what you see? ;)

@corbeaute,       love?  what is  ..     [028 would whisper,  it was such a foreign concept for her.  she didn't know what love was,  but if it was this.  then she’d be content with it.  a grin rises on her lips,  leaning forward,]     i think so.  i like it,  a lot  ..

like now. it’s.. my heart, it’s beating really fast. .. my mother, when she was still here. i was really young..                 ⋆  the boy falls silent for a moment. that was a long time ago. before he was brought here,       ( … )       before he became known as number thirty-four. the memories may be vague, but her words still ring true in his mind.  ⋆                 she said that was called love. do you think it’s that, 028?

@corbeaute,      i  ────  ..      i feel that way too,    [she answers.  doe eyes staring into the other's,  a small smile drawn to her lips as fingers shift to gently play with the hem of her white shirt.]    my heart also speeds up when i'm around you.

character    thread,    do    not    interact.    work    in    progress.

wordless,  a softened gaze mirrors. ⠀"  ...  " ⠀arms outstretched— now cradling its much larger form.  as qianyue felt like he needed it.

@perpetuallity      Are you trying to comfort me?    (A tired look crosses over him.  Golden irises flicker over to Qianyue,)    It’s working.

did he hit a nerve with that inquiry?  it was rather patent to him how disinterested he were with them  ..  so why?  qianyue persisted. ⠀"  does it bother you now that i'm minding it?  that's what you suspected of me,  anyways.  "

@perpetuallity      (His eyes slowly close,  an incoming headache already threatening to pierce him whole.  A hand rises,  fingertips massaging his temples to smooth over the ache.)    Is that any of your business?  Who cares,  it’s not like you’re a sorcerer anymore.  This doesn’t concern you.    (A pause,)    so enjoy your festivals.
