[from here, gently running her hand over them and moving them from side to side]

It does not seem so. I am able to touch them with no ill effect.

[tenebraecious]

[from here]

I doubt that it will if Cobalt's reaction is any judge.

[justfuckingtryit]

What did Cobalt do?

[tenebraecious]

He did not have much of an idea about it. It is a somewhat ornamental position as far as I am aware.

[justfuckingtryit]

But it was important enough that you think we'd have heard of it?

[tenebraecious]

The empire thought it important, so . . . Yes, I believed either of you may have.

[wonderlandgirl]

Oh, good...! I was worried. I know a lot of jellyfish can sting.

[She giggles.]

It tickles a little.

[justfuckingtryit]

...I'll let you know. If it ever comes up.

[tenebraecious]

Thank you. And you? Is there something from our home that you wish to hear of?

[tenebraecious]

Ah, so you can feel it.

[giving one or two last passes before drawing her hand away]

Hopefully, we two are not too bound to water.

[justfuckingtryit]

It'd be nice to know what the fuck happened to everything, if you remember that.

[tenebraecious]

Ah, I do not think that much yet, but I will let you and Cobalt both know. Thus far, they have only been focused in Tenebrae, my home.

[justfuckingtryit]

Okay... well. If you get any updates, I want to hear them.

[tenebraecious]

[nods]

You will be among the first to know.

[justfuckingtryit]

Thanks.

[She sent a text to Jay some minutes before (Will you be free within the next half hour or so?) then another when she has ascended to the fourth floor stairwell landing, exactly between their two unit dorms (I await you at the fourth level.). Rather than leaning against a wall or taking a seat, Glacies remains standing, hands held together with thumbs gently smoothing over her knuckles. When Jay arrives, she consciously separates them.]

Good evening.

[mind_blown]

Hey.

[he didn't respond directly-- but obviously, she saw his 'read' messages. He's still not entirely sure of what he wants to say, and what, if anything he wants. Maybe he was too aggressive right after the game-- after a whole day of being the opposite of aggressive for him- but. Maybe he should be clear.

But also, he definitely leans against the wall, shoving his hands in his pockets.]

[tenebraecious]

I was not certain that you would come . . . Thank you.

[mind_blown]

Nah, we said this evening right?

[he offers a slight grin]

I may not look it, but I try to keep my word.

[tenebraecious]

No, you look it as well, but you did not respond. I feared I had asked too much.

[mind_blown]

I’ll respond next time, if it’ll make you feel better.

[they really are dancing around this]

My brother already yelled at me about it. It’s just a bad habit.

[tenebraecious]

The next time we make an appointment to speak with each other once more?

[it's a joke, see, she can make a joke]

Ah, I see . . . I apologize for my remark, then. I did not mean to chastise you.

[mind_blown]

[he sees that joke.]

You didn't chastise me. Trust me. But yeah, I'll communicate more the next time we make a communication date.

[tenebraecious]

It would help . . .

[considering him, forcing herself to relax]

Jay, I do not know why you approached me, then. I believed that I did, but I realize I may not now.

[mind_blown]

... Yeah, let me level with you-- as plain as I can.

I wasn't expecting what happened. By all rights? I should have been pissed at you, but I wasn't. And I sure as hell wasn't expecting you to kiss back.

I just didn't know what was going on. That's all.
