When Dreams Fall mingling post

[[On the one hand, the White Chalice has landed at Fuka Castle, the site of the upcoming Graduation Ceremony for Garderobe Academy.

Basically Arika (and NPC Nina most likely) are off making final preparations! It's supposed to be one hell of a show, but for now, so long as you're on your best behavior, you're treated just as the other royal and administrative guests.

Mingle as you see fit!

But in other news, Mister Kasshu, rumor has it that Neo-France's fighter has been seen nearby. Perhaps you should go visit him and win a match? That is, if he's not busy!]]

[Dita's there, looking around and taking pictures of the place. It really is a nice place, being that it was situated around a desert.]

[Aaaand even the scenic route still gets you where you're going in the end. Laura spots Dita from afar, and visibly composes herself before approaching.]

It's quite an occasion, isn't it?

Yes it's beautiful here. I can see why people like it here.

How are you, Laura? Had time to think?

Lots of it. And lots to think about... more than I realized, even.

Can we - [Laura pauses for a beat, restraining herself from going "ummm"] - go somewhere quieter?

[Her eyes glance towards an arch in a hedgerow, the entrance to a small rose garden that should give them some privacy.]

Of course. Lead the way, I'll follow. [She picked up her things and made to follow Laura towards a quieter area. Once there, she waited expectantly for what she was going to say.]

[The garden is beautiful, old stone walls and blooming flowers. Laura drinks it in, hands clasped in front of her in an accidentally demure pose that comes from trying to keep herself from fidgeting. She takes a little time before speaking.]

I'm sorry for, ah, my reaction last time. After what you said I should have been... enthusiastic, but I just, I was so surprised I didn't know what to think.

[She turns to Dita, keeping a steady gaze as she continues.]

The truth is, I'm tired of being unsure of myself. Not even unsure - of assuming the worst. I've overcome that when it comes to fighting, to work. I don't want to... to let you go because I'm scared I'll screw things up. Maybe I should trust your judgement, you know?

But while I was thinking all this through... something surprised me. Lily... told me she, ah... has feelings for me.

[She doesn't look away, but her cheeks are burning.]

And I have for her, too.

Oh? Oh that's great, Laura! I'm really happy for you! [Dita was trying not to react too badly, but she had come to expect this from the crew. They were all so very close knit.]

How does she make you feel? Warm inside I take it?

[At that Laura does look away, gaze going to the side and in to the middle distance.]

...Safe. Wanted. Like I have a place. Like I know who I am... and it's someone I want to be. Like I have someone to hold on to, who I don't ever want to let go.

[She meets Dita's eyes again, blushing, but intense.]

Just like you make me feel.

Ah, I see. [Dita chuckled.] You know, in Mejiere, it's generally accepted that groups of women are, well together to be honest. Since we don't have to worry about just being with one person.

I just wanted to let you know if you wanted to be with both Lily and I, it's perfectly all right.

I... do want that. It sounds crazy, but so does everything else these days. We may as well make it work for us now and then.

And if you, too... Mark, or anyone...

[Laura takes her hands, inching closer slowly. She's trembling... but she takes a deep breath, and becomes calm.]

I don't want you all to myself. Not all the time... I just... want you.

[Closer becomes contact, and Laura's hesitance is swept away as she loses herself in the kiss.]

[Dita had no words except to kiss Laura back, pressing her lips against her and deepening it with relish. She held onto Laura's hands, assuring her she wouldn't go anywhere.]

[It was basically the most romantic she had been in a long time, and Dita enjoyed it immensely.]

[Laura's in no hurry to stop, but eventually comes up for air, finding her arms have migrated to around Dita's waist. She's smiling and blushing all at once, and radiating contentment and joy.]

Probably shouldn't get too carried away in the middle of school.

[She pecks Dita lightly on the lips before nuzzling in to her shoulder.]

I don't want to rush things... but I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to tell you how you make me feel. So I'm going to try my best to show you, instead. Okay?

That's true. [Dita let her rest her head against her shoulder and she smiled.]

That sounds good. Actions are louder than words, right? I'm sure you'll do great.
