Emmett + Elspeth, Nov 2

Nov 02 19:53:32 <SavanahHolland>	A sigh, she'd have to do it, wouldn't she? Sitting on the ledge of the dorm building.. you'd think the school would fence the ledge off or something, not that it matters. Elspeth would just have to.. do it, she had promised she would. Staring up at the starry sky as her fingers glide along the bottom hem of her yellow silk dress, her hair pulled back into one bun with white lace surrounding it, matching white lacy stockings and black maryjanes. She'd just have to.. do it.
Nov 02 20:00:15 <Knave>	Elspeth's phone gives out an alert - a text, from Emmett, long-form and perfectly punctuated as always; <Are you at home? I have been working, and I should like very much to see you, my darling.>
Nov 02 20:01:43 <SavanahHolland>	She'd do it.. she'd talk to Mary- well, the issue was finding Mary.. but she'd do it! She can't be a coward- she promised Theo afterall! Eeping as she nabs her phone, nearly dropping it, however texting back <I am on the roof, the stars are rather pretty tonight. You should join me.>
Nov 02 20:04:52 <Knave>	No response is forthcoming, but a few minutes later the sounds of Emmett's inelegant boots clomping up the stairs and out onto the roof ring out. His thick grey goat is wrapped tightly around him, his head and hair like an explosion popping out of the top. He smiles upon sighting Elspeth, and is wearing a particularly interesting set of goggles pushed up on his forehead - there are a variety of lenses mounted on mobile arms over the left eye. He tromps over to her and sits down clumsily by her side, "Good evening, my darling."
Nov 02 20:23:56 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth can't seem to help but grin as he comes closer, sitting on the ledge next to her as she leans over to peck his cheek warmly. "Toh youh as vell, love" she nods. "How have youh been?" she asks quietly, closing her eyes and leaning against his side- she'd lean against his shoulder, but she's still a tad shorter than him.
Nov 02 20:28:16 <Knave>	A tentative arm wraps around Elspeth's waist, and Emmett's head rests against hers. "Busy." He says with a proud smile, "A student has commissioned me to work for him, and I believe I can help him, if he is willing to pay for materials." He exhales, a nasally contented sigh. "And you, dear?"
Nov 02 20:29:28 <SavanahHolland>	"Vhat student?" she asks with a curious air about her before a soft frown graces her lips paired off with a sigh. "Someone.. very close toh me has recently passed avay.."
Nov 02 20:32:15 <Knave>	Emmett blinks, stammers for a moment, "I am sorry to hear that." His other hand snakes into Elspeth's lap and his fingers lace with hers. "Is there... is there anything I can do?"
Nov 02 20:33:02 <SavanahHolland>	She squeezes his hand softly, her eyes still closed "I dohn't know.. cahn youh go to the funeral vith me vhen it happens? Please?"
Nov 02 20:34:38 <Knave>	"Of course." He says gently. He shuffles in place, trying to move closer to her, make his presence felt. "What was their name?"
Nov 02 20:35:50 <SavanahHolland>	"Theo- uhm" she pauses "H- his full name vas Theodore Grundlewood.." it felt odd saying his full name after calling him just Theo for all that time..
Nov 02 20:37:54 <Knave>	Emmett nods solemnly, front teeth visible in his downturned mouth. He knew better than to add some pointless thought, such as how Emmett did not know him, or that Emmett was sure he was a good person. He smacks his lips. "What," Morbid curiosity, thy name is Epstein, "What killed him?"
Nov 02 20:39:42 <SavanahHolland>	She mumbles, her eyes opening slowly as she stares downward at the ground.. the long fall from the roof to the hard, //hard// ground. "He vent on a mission.. ahnd, I dohn't know.. something vent vrong.."
Nov 02 20:42:18 <Knave>	Emmett nods again, more hurriedly. "Unfortunate." He says quietly, then bites his lip. He shouldn't have asked. It wasn't respectful. And now he had run out of polite things to say. He just squeezes Elspeth's hand.
Nov 02 20:44:16 <SavanahHolland>	"I.. cahn I tell youh something my love?" she asks quietly "Something- and youh promise noht to think I've lost mhy mind?"
Nov 02 20:45:41 <Knave>	"You can tell me anything." Emmett says earnestly, apparently without thinking. And what if he thought she was mad? He'd be quite the hypocrite to judge her, wouldn't he?
Nov 02 20:47:33 <SavanahHolland>	Perhaps, it's a wonder who the sanest one of the duo is- probably Elspeth with all her demon summoning and animal skulls in her room, but who knows. "Theo visited me.. after he died.."
Nov 02 20:49:33 <Knave>	"In what form?" Emmett answers conversationally, very much more interested than surprised. Nevertheless, he remains solemn, and his thumb begins stroking the back of her palm.
Nov 02 20:51:56 <SavanahHolland>	"I dohn't know- Geist- Ghost, something of that sort.. buht like mist almost, he spoke toh me and said he loves me ahnd some things I need toh do forh him"
Nov 02 20:52:51 <Knave>	"Fascinating." Emmett says under his breath, possibly involuntarily, then in a more concerned tone, "What kind of things did he ask of you?"
Nov 02 20:54:36 <SavanahHolland>	"V- vell toh tell his family noht to blame themselves.. a- and toh speak toh a girl named Mary.. he asked m- many things buht I promised I vould!"
Nov 02 20:55:51 <Knave>	Emmett nods, then the hand around her waist slides up her back and comes to rest on the side of her head, hugging it to him. "If you need any help with this, I am here for you."
Nov 02 20:56:37 <SavanahHolland>	"I- I.. ahs long as youh don't leave me.. Ih'll be ohkay" she nods, hugging him tight "Promise me youh von't die before me" she puffs her cheeks.
Nov 02 20:57:51 <Knave>	Emmett wraps his other arm around her, returning the hug gently and awkwardly. He chuckles uncertainly into her ear, and says "I do not plan on either of us dying. But yes, I promise. I will not die before you."
Nov 02 21:01:26 <SavanahHolland>	She blinks, tilting her head curiously as she leans in, nibbling on his ear affectionately "Vhat doh you mean?"
Nov 02 21:03:15 <Knave>	"We live in a world of immense possibility, and we are the both of us already accomplished in our fields." He runs a finger up and down her back, idly, as he speaks, "I see no reason to assume that longevity is out of our grasp."
Nov 02 21:04:42 <SavanahHolland>	"Perhaps.. youh know full vell I am familiar.. vith occult methods- I could live forever ihf I so vished.. buht the methods I know of.. vould be rather painful."
Nov 02 21:08:00 <Knave>	"Then, I think, leave it to me." He smiles slightly, "I have not given the idea much thought yet, but I am sure I will be able to achieve it without excessive pain."
Nov 02 21:09:12 <SavanahHolland>	"I vouldn't mind pain if it meant I vould get toh be vith youh.." she mumbles softly, smiling back.
Nov 02 21:10:49 <Knave>	"Should the secret of eternal life escape me, I am sure we could endure pain if need be." The idea seems to delight him.
Nov 02 21:12:03 <SavanahHolland>	Only these two crazy bastards would be fine with the idea of being in mind numbing pain just so they can live together forever. It's kinda romantic allbeit crazy. "Though.. that method- has perhaps unsavory results.."
Nov 02 21:13:19 <Knave>	"Unsavoury?" Emmett prompts, curious. He pulls back from the hug just enough to be face to face with Elspeth, looking into her eyes.
Nov 02 21:14:27 <SavanahHolland>	She blushes, looking down "Ve vould be.. immortal of course.. buht.." her face turns red "Youh are familiar vith creatures such as Succubuses and Incubuses, ja?"
Nov 02 21:15:24 <Knave>	Emmett nods slowly, expression unchanging, "Ja, I have come across them in my readings." He tilts his head, "Do you mean to say...?"
Nov 02 21:16:35 <SavanahHolland>	"Vell.. becoming a demon doesn't jast happen.. there are many types- the most human vould be them.. and the process of becoming one.. is easier thahn other methods.." more blushing..
Nov 02 21:18:08 <Knave>	"I think I see." Emmett nods, smiling at Elspeth's embarrassment. "A discussion for another time, perhaps?"
Nov 02 21:19:05 <SavanahHolland>	"V- vell.. another time I vould be jast as embarrassed.." she admits
Nov 02 21:21:40 <Knave>	Emmett runs his hand over Elspeth's hair with a smile, "Then would you prefer to lend me a book on the nature of sex demons," He emphasizes the words more than he needs to, "If you'd prefer not to detail them out loud?"
Nov 02 21:23:56 <SavanahHolland>	"I perhaps cahn doh both.. I- the person I vas vith.. before youh- vas an Incubus.. that is vhere I had gotten most of mhy information- before dohing mhy own studies anyvays"
Nov 02 21:25:56 <Knave>	Emmett kisses Elspeth's cheek, then rests his head against hers again, "I am sorry for making you so flustered, my sweetheart." He strokes her back idly, "Speak as you will."
Nov 02 21:27:48 <SavanahHolland>	"D- dohn't apologize, I ahm jast.. shy on this topic" you sure aren't behind closed doors now are you Elspeth? Smh. "It has been avhile since i've properly memorized, soh some details may be vrong.. Youh vould.. have toh kill me- orh someone close toh me aht least."
Nov 02 21:30:15 <Knave>	"I would... have to kill you, in order to make you a suc- a succubus?" Emmett's cheeks colour as he stammers. Possibly, up until now, he'd been thinking in the abstract, and he hadn't actually imagined Elspeth as a succubus.
Nov 02 21:31:39 <SavanahHolland>	"Vell.. j- ja.. violently" she remembers what he had detailed to her- Sebastian.. His was far more.. violent and disgusting- something he didn't choose while the two were actively planning it..
Nov 02 21:33:00 <Knave>	Still blushing, his face comes over rather serious as he looks at Elspeth, "I-I am not sure I vould have it in me..." He runs the back of a finger over Elspeth's cheek, "I am... not a violent man by nature..."
Nov 02 21:34:47 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth finds herself almost leaning into the finger, closing her eyes "Ihf ve had no other choice.. youh'd only have to do iht once.. and then I vould be yours forever.."
Nov 02 21:37:21 <Knave>	Emmett leans in to kiss Elspeth briefly, then barely pulls back to say, "For you, forever... I could try."
Nov 02 21:39:04 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth can't help but grin, kissing back as she leans into him, opening her eyes as a hand goes to play with his hair "Youh know.. I love yourh hair" she says, getting a bit distratced by it.
Nov 02 21:41:55 <Knave>	Emmett's cheeks warm again at the compliment. "Thank you." He smiles softly, "Yours is beautiful." His whole body shivers slightly at her touch, delighted.
Nov 02 21:44:00 <SavanahHolland>	"Mhy hair? Iht is boring.. normal- buht yours is wild and fun." she nods- and soft, but she keeps that to herself.
Nov 02 21:46:40 <Knave>	"Hair of such colour and length and beauty is far from normal, I assure you." He leans in to kiss her temple, "Nevertheless, any of your aspects need not be unique." He takes up the hand not currently in his hair and raises it to his lips, "That your hands have five fingers rather than four or six makes them no less elegant."
Nov 02 21:48:48 <SavanahHolland>	Six fingers would be cool.. she could like, I don't know- have an extra finger and do stuff with that extra finger. She focuses on that in her head for some reason. However blushing at the kiss to her hand "Youh alvays have the right vords to say" she smiles- noting his ever stranger flattery style.
Nov 02 21:50:01 <Knave>	Emmett shakes his head slightly, "I am glad they are the right words for you. I, I babble and ramble so, but..." His eyes soften as he looks at her, "As long as they carry my meaning to you, they must be the right words."
Nov 02 21:52:28 <SavanahHolland>	She moves her hands slowly, cupping his cheek as she looks upon him adoringly "Of course.." she nods, smiling even more "Youh do know how much I adore youh.. right?"
Nov 02 21:54:32 <Knave>	Emmett smiles nervously, his cheeks practically blazing. "You have told me, yes, but I am afraid it is a hard idea to hold in my head."
Nov 02 21:56:02 <SavanahHolland>	"Vell.. I cahn alvays remind youh~" she grins, nuzzling into his side "I adore youh.. I love youh- every part of youh.."
Nov 02 21:57:19 <Knave>	Emmett embraces her warmly. "And I you, my dearest. I love you more than I can say."
