[Down on her knees, planting some berry seeds in dark black soil, a Pavo is singing softly to herself, the English words tinged slightly with the accent of her native tongue.]

What do you want?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... haven't quite figured it out yet.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . .

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Hmm.. but probably in a place where... uh, I'm less likely to want to get killed by loved ones.


Something like that.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Reaches over, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him into a hug.]

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[is a little surprised at that gesture, but lets her do so]

It's fine... really.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Rests her cheek against his shoulder, making no move to let go.]

Because you can still say it's okay . . . that's why it's sad.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... I. I don't know the whole story yet, so I can't really judge...

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Squeezes a little.]

We'll still be here. Even when you do.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

... Okay.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Nods, and rests there a minute, relaxing against him.]

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[pats... your back awkwardly]

... are you okay yourself?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Jumps a little, moving back.]

Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't . . . !

I'm fine!

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... if you're sure.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Zero should enjoy being like this. Even if it's just for a little while.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

... it feels a little weird, to be honest, but it's not bad.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't sound bad. Some parts . . . they're relaxing for the first time in a long time.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Some parts?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Like . . . ahh . . .

Lean forward a little?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[does so]

Okay?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Here.

[Gently presses the tendons on both sides of his neck.]

And here, and here . . .

[Moving down his shoulders and back, then his arms . . . finally just holding one of his hands, pressing the spaces in between his fingers.]

. . . even here.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[looks at his other hand]

... didn't know hands could be relaxed.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Zero's haven't been. Not for a long while.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[puts his hand atop yours then...]

You're sure you're okay?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Nods, and . . . looks down at their hands, keeping her fingers carefully still.]

. . . I haven't told Dandy yet. Or Eve. About me, or you, or . . .

. . . maybe they know about Tama. It seems easier, for him.
