You can kind of share them around? Me desperately trying to put a positive spin on this. But yeah, you are terribly cruel.
Hiya, could you do having seen you dance I know you have no feet (I’ve not got that completely right but can’t remember the exact phrasing, I know I’d be terrible with the Language, I’d say one thing inaccurately and get engulfed in an avalanche, swiftly followed by a tsunami) for Irene and Kai, please?
If I had The Language I’d probably get punished for the amount of Fuck bombs that I drop.
“Having seen you dance, I know you have no feet.” Kai said to Irene, leaning over to mutter to her, their arms linked. “Or I would ask you for a dance.”
“When did you ever see me dance?”
“Russia.” Kai said as they continued to circulate the room. “You stood on Alberich’s toes.” Irene supressed her shudder of disgust.
“Has it passed your mind that I may have done that on purpose?” She asked. “Why wouldn’t I stand on his feet when given the opportunity. Petty victories, Kai. Petty victories.” She smiled up at him, and he smiled back. “I will have you know that I am a wonderful dancer, however, you shall never find that out.”
“Please, may I have your hand for the next dance?” Irene slipped her arm out of his and took a few steps toward the bar.
“Sorry, I don’t have any feet. And I need a drink if I have to be here for much longer.” She replied before hedging her way through the groups of people, leaving Kai chuckling and shaking his head.
He caught up with her as she caught the attention of a bartender. “Whiskey, neat, please.” She asked.
“I’ll have the same.” Kai said with a nod, perching on the stool next to her. “So, this contact of yours.” Irene touched her earlobe, toying with the small scar that had been a lobe piercing.
“Our friend hasn’t arrived yet.” She shrugged and paid for their drinks. He gently bumped the rim of his glass against hers before they both took a sip. It was smooth and made their mouths burn a little bit. Irene left a faint lipstick smudge on our glass. “We shouldn’t be waiting too much longer.”
“I told you not to wear high heels.” He muttered, more to the whiskey than to her, then in brighter tones. “Well, good whiskey, women and the music isn’t half bad, I don’t mind the wait around.”
“Where are these women?” Irene said with a frown as she surveyed the room. “I haven’t been on a date for years and would not complain.” Kai looked at her before sighing.
“I was talking about you.” He said softly. “I know you are going to say no, that we shouldn’t, not that we can’t mind you. I know that it isn’t against the rules. I have checked, before you try to suggest that.”
“Kai, I don’t want to keep having this conversation, it’s tiring. It isn’t against any official rules, but it is against mine. You are my friend, let that be enough, please. For both of our sakes.” She sighed and listened to the ice in her glass. “Go and find one of the other women who’ll be happy to go- no, go home with them, not back to our house please, someone who’ll say yes, so that you don’t keep wasting your time on one hundred and one no’s.”
Kai sadly smiled. “I’d rather be rejected one hundred and one times, than get a yes from someone that I could never care for.” He got up though. “I’m going to get some fresh air, I won’t be long. Don’t move, especially if your contact makes… contact.” He cringed a little.
“Alright, stay safe.” He took his drink.
“You too.”
The Serenade, by Federico Andreotti (1847-1930)
And that’s his treat: Irene gets some arson, Kai gets some grievous criminal assault. They’re both very happy.
Vale: We’re not gonna burn it
Irene: C'mon dude, you never let me burn anything
Lmao! 😂
Irene: [tries to create a sense of calm by lighting incense, only to find out that the sticks were actually sparklers]
Irene: This is actually painfully on-brand for me.
Yeah, we’ve got to let Irene have some treats at least. She is currently well below the ideal quotient for punching Silver.
Vale: We’re not gonna burn it
Irene: C'mon dude, you never let me burn anything
Aww, this is sweet and explains pretty thoroughly Irene’s sudden decrease in productivity! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it.
Kissing prompts 13 and 16
"I'm trying to work, stop distracting me."
"I thought you liked it when I kissed you." Irene slowly exhaled and wished the room was several degrees colder. She toyed with her pen and did not look up at Kai. "You could do with a break."
"I doubt I'll get back to work if I had a break down." She muttered. "I would not complain if you brought up a cup of tea for me though." He smirked.
"So, I'm a very good distraction?" Kai carefully tucked hair behind her ear, stroking the tip of his finger along her skin, over her forehead first, and then down her neck. Irene couldn't suppress a shiver. "I'll take that as a compliment."
"You're incorrigible." Kai shrugged.
"You wouldn't love me if I changed. How about we come up with a deal?" He put his hand on top of hers and took the pen, leaning back and playing with it, spinning it around his fingers.
"Let's hear it." Irene sighed, she wasn't going to be getting any work done if he didn't leave her alone. He was a very good (irritating) distraction. She sat back in her chair, turning it slightly to face him.
She had a large desk tucked against a window so that she could get some of the meagre natural light that made its way through, and if not, the street lamps and her desk lamp did the trick. Right now, Kai's face was thrown into sharp profile by her desk lamp and she wanted to trace the lines of his cheeks with her fingers.
"You put the work away for the rest of today and I'll leave you alone tomorrow afternoon."
"What about the morning?"
"Oh, sweetheart." He swept his eyes over her before leaning in and dropping his voice low. "You're going to need a nice, long lay in once we're done tonight."
Irene swallowed.
"Deal."
I've done 16 before, I'll see if I can find you a link, I'd do it again, but I'm really not in the mood for anything like that right now
Irene discussing this with coppelia: and then he did not let go for some time/ utterly out of order/ I know! So unreasonable.
Irene: W..why are you squeezing me with your body?
Kai: It’s called a hug, Irene. I’m hugging you.
All very swish! Yeah Bradamant for sure makes the highest priority to look fabulous as she stabs someone.
Request from @some-sort-of-firefly for a Bradamant aesthetic board.
In my head she's the most glamorous Librarian that the Library has ever had, and could kill a man with her stilleto heel
Bloody love lotr!
Reblog if you are a fan!
