Alysanne could feel Hemlock tense when Mikey moved closer but no such reaction was evoked from her – much to her surprise. There was a slight hesitation as she judged whether she was okay with it but, really, it only took a second (if that!) for her to decide that her comfort level was not what was important to her here.
She wanted Mikey to be happy and although she did want to embrace him, she moved closer to him knowing that she could not refuse him. Not this nor anything else. She did not want to lose him or cause him pain again. The decision to do whatever it took to make sure none of that happened was an easy one. So Alysanne took those last couple steps and closed the gap between them – draping her slender neck across his. This was, unfortunately, too much for the little owl that had been perched between her ears. He took off with an angry hoot and flew off to the nearby trees where he could keep an eye on the pair. They certainly needed a chaperone! It was not a lingering one, that embrace, but it was not fleeting either. She knew that it did not send chills down her spine the way such things had with Sasha… and more recently with Voodoo. Even as she smiled brightly at him, stepping back just a little, she knew she did not love him, not the way he loved her. But for his sake, she could pretend. Thought still clouded with worry about Resplendence, she appreciated his encouragement and was glad that he did not bring up his unique ability to block out memories. Though it may be rather helpful, she learned first hand how terrible it was when those memories came back. But this talk of another magic was something new! “Oh Mikey that’s so exciting! How does it work?” She had seen so many different variations of healing magic since she had stumbled across Helovia, she was curious about what his was. When their attentions were on her friend’s companion, she smiled softly at the introduction. “She’s beautiful.” Alysanne offered truthfully, marvelling at the beautiful colours of the young bird. And she certainly wasn’t the only one! From his perch nearby, Hemlock was taking a moment out of his grumbling to admire the pretty companion too. “And Hemlock agrees!” She added mischievously, chuckling as the little owl grumbled about how that was supposed to be a secret. The anger lasted about as long as a blink, however, as he wondered how Eliana would react. It might be easier for all of them, Alysanne figured, to focus on the companions instead of other things. Finished teasing her own sweet bird, she dipped her head kindly to the zephyr. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Eliana.” @[Miykael] dat sonngg |
