accidental video/open action

[hatesthefood]

The Koneko might be closed, but there's lights on in the workroom of the shop. Just off screen, a low voice hums off key, soft scraping noises and the low whine of a dog marring the offset tune. Off to the side of the table lay several colorful flowers; purple hyacinth and amaranth, plus a single red carnation tossed on top of the pile along with some assorted greenery. Every now and again, a hand moved into sight and deftly snatches up a stem here and there, shifting through the stems to find the right one.

... Garrett and Dorian, right?



... trust me, I understand. I've never had a relationship... work out.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Yes. Garrett and Dorian.

[She doesn't dare sound hopeful as she looks into the device at him.]

Then... what? Do you still... want me?

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

... Mara, I need to know how you see me. What you think of me.

[There's a long pause as she considers how to put this into words and when she does, she's uncharacteristically shy.]

I think you're the best thing that's happened to me in a very, very long time. And I'm... scared that I'm losing that.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way.

[She reaches out and runs a finger alongside the screen, as if she wishes it were his face.]

Then what can we do? I can't... Ken, I don't know how to change what I'm afraid of, but if I could, I would.

... we'll take our time. Figure it out. Together.

... if that's what you want. Maybe all it needs is time.

[Smiling softly, she wipes away another tear.]

I do want. I want you very much. I miss you.

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I've missed you too.

... so you think the flowers are alright?

[video]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I do, they're lovely.

...did you... perhaps want to come over tonight?

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Good, since I was putting them together for you.

... I would really like that.

[video]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Ken... [She's speechless, congratulations. She's also blushing.]

I'll be up for awhile, come over whenever, then.

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Gimmie a little while to finish it and I'll be by.

... do you think I could stay for a couple of days? I understand if you want space and everything. If you do, just tell me.

[video]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[She's a little surprised, but she doesn't hesitate and she actually smiles again.]

No, I don't mind. I'd like it if you stayed, it gets lonely here.

[video]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in a little while.

[video]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'll call out for some dinner.
