Aug 02 00:45:13 <SavanahHolland>	Gungnir and Pia went on their way- Elspeth having finished all the paperwork.. mostly connected to the investigation and being released from the infirmary.. at least Elspeth wasn't going to die.. it just really looked like she was. Sniffling a little bit, the reddness of the tip of her nose and cheeks were going down at least. Her long blonde hair down, but now wearing a nice sundress, having just changed out of the gown style clothing she was told to wear from the nurses.. waiting for someone to bring a wheelchair.. god knows she doesn't want to freak out the nurses by slitting her hand open.
Aug 02 00:51:36 <Knave>	Emmett sweeps into the room, giving the impression of haste without having hurried. His orange hair appears to have been brushed rather than hastily pulled into order, lying back and away from his face unflatteringly. In his badly-pressed suit he gives the general impression of neatness without style. For once, goggles are neither over his eyes or his forehead, but hanging loosely from his neck, revealing the full shape of his pinched face, concern and discomfort mixed upon it. "Fraulein Elspeth," He says through a frown, "I heard just this morning that you were in the infirmary."
Aug 02 00:55:32 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth glances up with her bright green eyes.. suprised he came, they hadn't known eachother long, and he was rather strange.. but he did come, which made her feel strangely happy. She stares, moving a small hand up to page a kink of her blonde hair behind her ear. "Youh came." she says softly, a hint of a chirp.
Aug 02 00:58:27 <Knave>	His bare eyes search over her, dark and unreadable, and his face shifts into a rather blanker look. "Yes." He agrees, nodding, before taking another step into the room. "I thought... perhaps... that I should." Emmett is clearly out of his comfort zone.
Aug 02 01:11:52 <SavanahHolland>	She stares at him for a moment, looking down at her hands that are cupped together in her lap, sighing softly. "Did youh not vant toh? You cahn leave if youh vant, I'll manage."
Aug 02 01:14:32 <Knave>	"N-no." His eyes widen and he starts towards her, hand out, before stopping in his tracks and wringing his hands in front of him, "I wondered if you would want to see me. If it would be proper. If I should take the time from my studies." He looks up from his hands to her face, a slightly tortured expression, "I wanted to see you."
Aug 02 01:17:35 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth takes a deep breath, looking up at him with a spark of curiousity in her green eyes as she moves to take his hand, giving it a soft squeeze. "Ohf course iht's proper.. I- Ih'm glad you did.. I vas vorried youh didn't care.." she frowns "I alvays love seeing youh."
Aug 02 01:23:33 <Knave>	Emmett lays his free hand over Elspeth's. His eyes search her face with a look of consternation, his downturned lips making his rodent-like front teeth visible. His gloves are particularly thin today, and his thumb draws undecipherable patterns on the back of her hand. After a few moments, he appears to make a decision, and says, "There are none here I care about as much as you."
Aug 02 01:27:30 <SavanahHolland>	The faintest hit of redness to her cheeks that completes the already redish pink color of her cheeks due to the reason she was brought to the infirmary in the first place. A small spike of happiness, confusion- and that ever so pleasant warm feeling locked deep inside her chest.. bleeding over her mental link to Gungnir, she wasn't thinking much about that mind you. Giving his hand another squeeze.. "I-.." she tries to manage words.. but for someone who strings them so perfectly usually.. they seem to fail her. "I cahre abouht youh too.. buht vhy? Vhy doh youh care forh me ouht of everyone here?"
Aug 02 01:32:37 <Knave>	Emmett's mouth begins to hang open as he considers the question, his eyes flitting this way and that as he turns it over in his head. Concentration, confusion, and frustration all take turns washing over his stark features, until he emits a noise that could almost be called a growl. Then, all at once, he puts a hand around Elspeth's cheek and darts his head to hers to kiss her, his inexperience still blatant but his passion undeniable. "I do not have the words." He says, as if to explain, his face held against hers, "I ask, know that I care for you and be satisfied."
Aug 02 01:37:34 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth nearly moves away with a small frightened noise.. but instead stops herself, staying as she leans her cheek against his gloved hand.. a hand moving to his chest, keeping him closer. Kissing back after realizing what he was trying to do.. appreciating that for once.. he actually seemed to take it before she did. Taking a deep breath, leaning in and nuzzling herself against his neck, burying her face there.. he 	can nearly feel the warmth of her cheeks. "I ahm satisfied.. vhat are ve.. nowh?" It surely wasn't friends.. or strangers..
Aug 02 01:42:59 <Knave>	His hand slides from her cheek to her hair stiffly. "We are what we are." He responds, then corrects himself in a soft mumble, "Tautology. Redundant. Obvious." He raises his voice to just below a normal speaking level, given their proximity, "We are people who care for each other. And we are people who kiss." Heat begins to radiate back in kind from Emmett, as blood rushes to his face, "We fascinate each other, and enjoy one another's company."
Aug 02 01:45:45 <SavanahHolland>	"Does that meahn..?" she asks.. stopping herself and blushing more.. good thing her face was still buried in his neck.. she takes a moment, removing herself from his neck and leaning in to give him a very brief kiss on the lips. "Ahre ve in a relationship..? Vould youh even vant zat..?"
Aug 02 01:48:46 <Knave>	He blinks. "We are in a relationship." He says it almost casually. Perhaps he misunderstands her meaning, or does not grasp the significance of the question. Perhaps it's a moment of realization. "Of course I want it." His feelings on the matter, if he has any, are inscrutable.
Aug 02 01:50:53 <SavanahHolland>	She smiles softly, nodding "Ih'm glad.." this kind of thing was hard.. you always had to be clear- Elspeth realized that especially with someone like Emmett.. "Ih'll be able toh leave soohn, the infirmary.. Ih'm jast vaiting forh someone toh bring a vheelchair.. I think they forgot." she laughs.
Aug 02 01:54:07 <Knave>	"I..." He shivers, and pulls his goggles up over his eyes, scanning over Elspeth, "I am sorry. I neglected to ask you why you were admitted. Were you hurt? Injured? Infected?" He puts his other hand on her cheek, the touch practically protective considering his detached nature.
Aug 02 01:55:17 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth bites her lower lip "Doh noht be sorry, I dohn't blame youh.. I vas sent flowers.. I believe they vere laced vith something.." she only seems to frown more.. she didn't know who on Earth would send them.. surely not Sebastian anyways.
Aug 02 02:00:49 <Knave>	Surely, it is a trick of the light - the fluorescent lighting overhead reflected over his lenses as his head twitches. It can't possibly be that lightning really does flash behind his goggles as it seems to. "Do you still have them?" He asks, suddenly serious, "The species, the poison, some clue may indicate who sent them. No." He shakes his head vigorously, "Surely not. Preferable to approach from social stance. Who might wish to hurt you, and why this way? Possible symbolic meaning of flowers, species becomes relevant again." As he talks away to himself, his eyes are cast downwards, his fingers rubbing his chin, and finally he returns his attention to Elspeth and announces with all apparent earnestness, "The flowers are important."
Aug 02 02:02:57 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth bites her lower lip nervously, suddenly hit with so many questions as she manages to gather her thoughts to properly answer. "Red Roses.. I thought youh sent them vhen I first goht them.." she mumbles "The ohnly people I cahn think of is Dracaz orh Sebastian.. buht it still makes little sense toh me.."
Aug 02 02:05:36 <Knave>	"Very well." He says, pulling himself up in front of her with the air of a matter being decided. He puts one hand behind his back and offers the other one, bowing slightly as he says with clear nerves, "Fraulein Elspeth, would you like me to carry you home?"
Aug 02 02:07:39 <SavanahHolland>	She smiles at him.. nearly a grin "I vould love that." she says softly, nodding and moving a slender hand to gently take his offered one..
Aug 02 02:10:05 <Knave>	Clumsily and shakily, Emmett bends and lifts and ends up lifting Elspeth in a strange kind of lift, leaning her against his chest to make it easier. "Is that okay?" He says as he walks slowly out of the room, getting accustomed to the weight.
Aug 02 02:11:34 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth is rather small and certainly not heavy- suprisingly enough anyways. Letting out a soft giggle as she leans up to kiss his cheek, nodding. "Very."
Aug 02 02:14:49 <Knave>	Without complaint and with less difficulty than last time, Emmett carries her all the way from the infirmary to her dorm room, kissing her briefly before setting her down on her bed. "Will you be safe here?" He asks, pulling his goggles down again.
Aug 02 02:17:37 <SavanahHolland>	The blood stain on the wall seems to be gone now.. it looks decently well cleaned- her room anyways.. thanks to a little Zita fox. She plops on her bed, and before he realizes Elspeth is dragging him down to lay with her. "I believe soh." she chirps.
Aug 02 02:20:29 <Knave>	Unlike his last visit, Emmett does not resist being pulled onto her bed, following her gracelessly. Perhaps to recover, he says solemnly, "I will stay with you for a time, if you like."
Aug 02 02:21:32 <SavanahHolland>	She leans in, taking a quick kiss from him again it seems.. "I vould like zat.." she says happily, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Aug 02 02:23:57 <Knave>	Emmett's physicality is still comparable to a fawn learning to walk as he lays one arm around Elspeth's waist. He leans his head in towards hers, flashes one of his tiny smiles with a giggle. His distant, professional demeanour drops for a moment and he sounds more like a regular teenage boy as he says, "I have never been in a girl's bed before."
Aug 02 02:26:01 <SavanahHolland>	Elspeth blushes a bit, but her smile seems to not even faintly waver, giving him a squeeze "Vell, ihs iht a life changing experience~?" she teases.
Aug 02 02:29:10 <Knave>	"I think so." He says, and his slightly distracted proselyting voice returns to him, "It is said that the same man never steps in the same river twice. If you will forgive a bad poet - I think I am made a new man whenever I kiss you." He still doesn't seem to really know what to do with his hands, or the rest of his body for that matter, but his eyes look at her with adoration.
Aug 02 02:32:28 <SavanahHolland>	She leans in once more, pressing her lips to his and rather than the usual of making it brief.. she only seems to hold it- much longer even, closing her eyes and seemingly clinging to him. "I ahm glad youh think soh highly ohf us together.. iht is nice cohming frohm youh."
Aug 02 02:35:40 <Knave>	After she breaks the kiss, Emmett seems to decide to embrace her more tightly, one arm wrapped behind her head and one around her waist. "It is nice to be with you." He says after some thought.
Aug 02 02:37:06 <SavanahHolland>	"Iht is nice toh be vith youh as vell.." she pauses for a brief moment "Have youh ever been in an relationship.. before me..?" she squeezes him once more.. but with a gentle touch.
Aug 02 02:38:57 <Knave>	"Not one such as this." He says quietly. He closes his eyes, his hands moving slightly, apparently focusing on the touch of her.
Aug 02 02:40:25 <SavanahHolland>	After a moment she speaks, a softer voice above a whisper "Vould iht be vrong ohf me toh vish that ve could jast.. stay like this..?" forever.. nothing could go wrong anymore, and change wouldn't happen..
Aug 02 02:43:57 <Knave>	"There must be change." He says softly, "Objects at rest remain at rest. Objects in motion remain in motion. But objects must collide. Transition. Transfer. Nothing stays as it is. It is our duty to guide change. To make change good." He opens his eyes, blinking, then reddens slightly, "I am sorry. You did not mean- Of course. My mind wanders, forgive me." He gives the slightest squeeze, "We can stay like this for as long as you like."
Aug 02 02:51:32 <SavanahHolland>	She lets out a small laugh, moving to pull him on top of her as she clings to his chest, her cheek nuzzled against him. He was odd.. obviously, but that was quite fun really.. "I realize thaht this von't last.." this relationship.. or this moment? She's not clear. "buht I vant iht toh.. badly."
Aug 02 02:55:52 <Knave>	He looks down at her, and plants a gentle kiss on the edge of her lips. Perhaps to comfort her, he says, "What is worthwhile can be preserved. That too is our duty." His stark, rat-like face comes over somewhat pleasant, a mix of admiration and conviction and compassion softening its features nobly.
Aug 02 03:00:41 <SavanahHolland>	She nods, closing her eyes.. he was right, she'd preserve it, even if it took some rather unnoble things on her end.. she didn't want to lose again.
