Emmett + Elspeth, Nov 10

Nov 07 21:32:06 <Knave>	Emmett's room is relatively neat today, which is to say that all of the junk strewn about it is united by a single purpose. He was rather enjoying throwing himself into his first commission, and it had bit by bit taken over the myriad little projects he'd been picking up and throwing away. Now, there was a delightful spiral of plans and machine parts ringing around the room from his door and into the centre, crossing the floor, deskspace, and his bed without discrimination. In the middle, on raised vices, is his first prototype of the device. It won't work, he knows, not with these materials, but it will demonstrate if the principles are sound. Emmett hunches over it, gremlin-like, a content grin on his face sitting beneath the green goggles that are pointed at the device as he tweaks and alters.
Nov 07 21:36:04 <SavanahHolland>	Two tiny knocks come from the door, Elspeth sighing softly, sitting in front of it in her wheelchair. A hand going to page a wild strange of blonde hair back as she bites her lower lip. At the moment wearing a somewhat casual summer dress, yellow and white with the collar doubled for the fabric to be a bit more thick. Also wearing some simple tan shoes with bright silver buckles.
Nov 07 21:40:29 <Knave>	Lifting his head from his work at the sound, Emmett tuts to himself. Then, after a moment's tampering with his goggles, his expression softens and he pushes the eyewear up to his forehead as he stands up straight, then looks around the room. He bites his lower lip in thought for a few moments, then climbs over the spiral of debris to his door, pulling it open just wide enough that his skinny frame blocks her view into the room. He smiles brightly, "Elspeth, what a pleasant surprise." He takes one of her hands in his - remembering just in time which of his hands is still holding a screwdriver - and raises it to his lips to plant a kiss, "To what do I owe the pleasure, darling?"
Nov 07 21:43:30 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth lets out a soft eep as her hand is almost stabbed with a screwdriver, glad that Emmett quickly realized as she blushes, leaning over to plant a soft kiss on his cheek. "Howh ahre youh?" she asks softly, biting her lower lip much more harshly than before "I vanted toh visit youh.. i never get toh see youh're room."
Nov 07 21:47:49 <Knave>	"Well, dear, and the better for seeing you." He smiles at her, then casts a dubious glance behind the door, "I am afraid you catch me as I am working. My room is something of a mess." He looks back at her face, and his mouth catches in an 'o' shape, "But, ahm, I am sure I could clear it, if that is okay?"
Nov 07 21:49:12 <SavanahHolland>	"I- ihf youh vould like, I dohn't mind either way" she says, offering an understanding smile- god knows she's been there, with all those empty wine bottles and dead animals. Normal teen things.
Nov 07 21:52:29 <Knave>	"Just one moment, my love." He disappears behind the door, pushing it to, and sets about tidying. The sounds of papers being hastily swept up, riffled, and thrown to one side mingles with metallic jingles of bits and pieces being picked up and tripped over. At one point, Emmett curses quietly in German.
Nov 07 21:53:26 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth can't seem to help but giggle at the tiny curse, she could hear basically everything he seemed to be busy with- seeing as the door wasn't that thick.
Nov 07 21:55:54 <Knave>	After about a minute, a final crash, and the door swings open, Emmett stepped tidily to one side. "Please come in." He says curtly, motioning for Elspeth to come in. It seems that the cleaning has amounted to the spiral of miscellaneous objects being pushed out to the edges of the room. The prototype, what appears to be some kind of collar, still stands in its place in the middle. Oh, and there is a suspiciously large pile of scrap at the foot of the bed, and the sheet has a distinct 'just swept clean' appearance.
Nov 07 21:58:07 <SavanahHolland>	This seems to force another giggle from her as she wheels herself in, looking around before nabbing the boy, closing the door behind her and having him sit on her lap. Oddly enough her small legs are able to handle the pressure of Emmett and not break like tiny twigs, the more you know. She grins, leaning up and giving him a peck on the lips "How have youh been?"
Nov 07 22:04:31 <Knave>	Emmett's cheeks colour immediately at being pulled into Elspeth's lap, but he quickly settles into a comfortable position and loops one arm around her thin shoulders. "I have been keeping myself busy." He leans his forehead against hers, and his bright smile twitches, looking a touch more serious, "How have you been keeping?"
Nov 07 22:06:19 <SavanahHolland>	Her eyes go to his as he leans his forehead against hers, bright green eyes that seem curious to everything around her. "Vell, aht least ahs much as I cahn, I haven't beehn able toh get that much sleep since the other night"
Nov 07 22:10:17 <Knave>	He kisses her cheek, seeming to already be at ease to have her in his room. Or perhaps he is merely distracted. Certainly, he's not paying attention to any of the bits of mechanical and chemical gubbins strewn about the room, just to Elspeth's face. As well as the inventorly mess, he appears to still not have bothered transitioning out of his luggage and into a wardrobe, clothes haphazardly piled in an open trunk. "Do... do you have such difficulties often?"
Nov 07 22:11:57 <SavanahHolland>	"Iht depends, sometimes I dohn't dream, and sometimes I doh, iht's usually jast old memories replaying." she almost shrugs, but decides to just.. sigh.
Nov 07 22:14:51 <Knave>	He nods slowly. He really doesn't remember much of the details, but he remembered enough to make connections and assumptions. There's nothing about those dreams he feels he ought to say. His head resting against hers, he closes his eyes and idly begins to run a finger in a circle on the back of her neck. "I wonder..." He says, "If there is anything to the notion of a dreamcatcher. Some working principle that might be harnessed. Bring peaceful nights."
Nov 07 22:16:52 <SavanahHolland>	"Perhaps.. that vould be nice" Sure, she could offer the main idea for dreams to another, if she wanted someone to have lovely dreams about her- she could do that.. but she couldn't just do it to herself.
Nov 07 22:19:24 <Knave>	"I shall look into it." He assures her, eyes opening again to take in her face, "Are you not uncomfortable, with me on top of you like this?"
Nov 07 22:21:13 <SavanahHolland>	She blinks, tilting her head as she glances down at her legs before shrugging idly "I dohn't think soh, ahre youh? Ve could switch positions if youh'd like~" she seems to tease.
Nov 07 22:27:00 <Knave>	Emmett chuckles, "I am happy to remain in your arms if you are comfortable." He kisses her cheek again, then makes a little nervous noise in his throat, "Ahm, so, what do you think of my room?"
Nov 10 02:20:19 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth hums as seh glances around before then pecking him on the lips and nuzzling his cheek "Iht looks fine~" she says in an almost sing-song voice. "Youh didn't have toh tidy uhp forh me"
Nov 10 02:23:54 <Knave>	"It seemed only polite..." Emmett says, vaguely. While his eyes are drawn by her face, his hand strokes her neck down to her shoulder thoughtlessly, "I would not want to give you the impression that I do not care what you think of me."
Nov 10 02:25:37 <SavanahHolland>	"Vell.." she blushes "I vhant youh to be comfortable vith me, lihke youh dohn't have toh think about that kind ohf stuff ahnd be able toh relax vith me.."
Nov 10 02:28:31 <Knave>	He nods slowly, then says, "I want you to be comfortable too. When you are here, this is not just my space, and I would not like it to feel... exclusive." He shrugs, and colour rises to his cheeks as he realizes that what he's saying may sound silly, "I wanted you to feel there was space for you."
Nov 10 02:30:00 <SavanahHolland>	"Ih'm sure there vill alvays be space forh me in yourh heart~" she blinks "Zat vas cheesy.. ja sorry" she lets out a soft laugh
Nov 10 02:33:13 <Knave>	Emmett shakes his head, then leans in to kiss her neck. "There will be, I assure you." He nuzzles into her, closing his eyes contentedly, "Wherever you wish to be, I will make room for you."
Nov 10 02:37:07 <SavanahHolland>	She smiles.. that was sweet and he managed to not be corny.. she needed some pointers apparently. Mewling softly at the tiny kiss on the neck as she just holds him tight. "Vould youh do anything for me?" she asks quietly.
Nov 10 02:38:27 <Knave>	He thinks the question over in silence for a few moments, embracing her and gently stroking with one hand. "There are few things I would not do for you." He answers.
Nov 10 02:39:25 <SavanahHolland>	"Like vhat?" she wonders, closing her eyes, maybe it was idle conversation, or her mouth running without thought?
Nov 10 02:41:59 <Knave>	"What I would not do," Emmett says soft and slow, "I imagine you would never ask of me." His smile twitches, "Were you wondering about anything in particular?"
Nov 10 02:45:07 <SavanahHolland>	She shakes her head, eyes still closed "I dohn't knowh, Ih'm jast speaking aloud, youh dohn't have toh answer ihf youh doh noht vish to, love"
Nov 10 02:50:35 <Knave>	"I would not kill an innocent for you." Emmett says, after a few seconds, evenly, "For instance." His cheek shifts affectionately against hers, both their eyes shut, "And I am sure you would not want me to."
Nov 10 02:51:55 <SavanahHolland>	"Ohf course I vouldn't vant youh to.." she nods as his cheek moves against hers, getting comfy in the large wheelchair, at least large compared to the small lovers.
Nov 10 02:54:42 <Knave>	She can feel his head twitch slightly, as it occurs to him to return the question. "And would you do anything for me, darling?"
Nov 10 02:56:54 <SavanahHolland>	"I vouldn't kill someone innocent vithout reason forh youh.. buht perhaps, Ja.. I vould.." she seems to nod, sighing softly.
Nov 10 02:58:20 <Knave>	His cheek rubs against hers again, and the hand stroking her back moves to her shoulder, then down her arm. Wordlessly, he laces his fingers together with hers and grips them gently. A contented hum escapes from his throat.
