The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (10/13)

The town felt quiet and empty this week with everyone off on the trip, and Steph could have been doing much worse this week than she was, emotionally, if not for Vi's stubborn insistence on not leaving her alone.

This week's board game spotlight was on murder mystery games. It just felt kind of necessary today.

Stubborn insistence on not leaving her alone did you say?

That sounded like Vi's cue to arrive bearing lunch only to get waylaid by an extremely distraught Saffron when she was barely in the door.
giveittoyoursister: (You can call *her* anything)

"I'm probably a lot harder to grab and hide in the storeroom like this," Vi said, offering Steph the bag of food before bending to pick up Saffron, who could only be appeased with hugs, right now.

Given how Saffron had climbed up onto Vi's shoulders and was nosing at her collar, Steph wasn't wrong there.

"It was harder than it looked getting out," she told her. "Those boxes are a lot harder to navigate as a kitten."
giveittoyoursister: (Optimist)

"Well, kitten me knew who she wanted to spend her time with," Vi said, as Saffron, having realised she couldn't pick up her inconsiderate Snuggle Human by the scruff of her neck, settled in to wash her instead.
giveittoyoursister: (Optimist)

"Damn straight I do," Vi said, letting Steph and Saffron have their fun with a good natured eye-roll. Her expression softened. "How are you doing?"
giveittoyoursister: (So fucking earnest)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-14 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Good," Vi said softly, reaching for her hand. "And I trust you to tell me if you're not."
giveittoyoursister: (Optimist)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-14 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Vi nodded, squeezing Steph's hand in return. "I do."
giveittoyoursister: (Significant cheek touches)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-14 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Vi smiled, tracing her thumb over Steph's mouth. "I'm just glad I could help."

She would've leant over to try and steal a kiss, but any time she shifted too close to Steph, Saffron's grooming grew more furious.
giveittoyoursister: (So fucking earnest)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-14 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Vi curled her fingers between Steph's. "I know, I guess I just wish neither of us did."
giveittoyoursister: (Optimist)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-14 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe," Vi repeated, not really wanting to think about that. Instead she brought their hands to her mouth so she could kiss the back of Steph's. "Love you."
giveittoyoursister: (Heh heh heh)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-15 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." Vi nodded with a small, soft smile. "Together."
giveittoyoursister: (Glow cause I'm worth it)

[personal profile] giveittoyoursister 2022-10-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that wasn't doing anything at all to get rid of Vi's dopey grin. "I'd like that," she said. "Just you and me deciding where we want to go."
giveittoyoursister: (So much green)

"I've never been camping before." That wasn't a no, just a reminder you were dating one heck of a city girl.
