Re: Svarik and the company II

[VisAnastasis]

" I may have had a request for meadow king and bid him very very nicely to help me out. He grew the seeds for me. I went to a field and dug them out, first, and I decorated the pot and box. " Demon said shyly." I did not mean them for the grave, but for you. I wouldn't have let you die.  I just was comforting you yesterday . I was pretty confident I could talk you out of danger... no. . The flowers are meant from me,to you. " He seemed to get more flustered. " You like that play so much... so it seemed more romantic to me than roses. I wished to give you violets in the grass, ones you spoke of, that your eyes can be delighted with, instead of a grave. You said you only had one night stands, so I wished to give something nice upon you, to tell you this will be different... gift exchanging in relationships are norm... and it seemed the sweeteat way to tell you... that I am proud of you today.. you did really well...  " he smiled." You deserved a little treat. "

[Mirach]

"That's really nice..." Senecio said, smelling the flowers. "Thank you. I was usually getting cut flowers, you know... After a play, or... the one night stands. I'm rather bad at keeping flowers alive... But I hope I can manage that with these. Would you tell me if I forget to water them? And I'm sorry I probably won't be able to get many presents for you, if I have to stay in the house, and need to return Lorenzo his money..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I will make sure to help you out keep them alive until spring... then you can lant them somewhere you like... I prefer live flowers over dead ones. Dead ones. .  They are not pretty to me. " Tide said shyly. " And they don't have to be expensive. You are a good actor... you will pay him back, sooner or later...  but I would like some trinkets, at least.... to see that you thought of me, like I think of you.."

[Mirach]

"I will think of some way to get you something nice, no matter what," Senecio grinned with the challenge.

[VisAnastasis]

" You know, it is not that hard to ask someone else to keep an eye on you while you go outside...  you need to have some guard, but nobody said it always has to be me. " Demon said innocently. " When you want to surprise me with something, all you got to do is make sure someone else guards you when you go out, that is all... "

[Mirach]

"Good, I hope someone will be willing to play a babysitter to me," Senecio grinned.

[VisAnastasis]

" Well, you are a big baby, so it shall be arranged. " Tide said. He seemed shy for some reason. " Do you... like them?" He asked, as if nearing that maybe he did not. " You don't have to be polite...  I have to know if I hope to get to know your taste..."

[Mirach]

"I like them, but not in the excited way. They feel more sentimental, like a memory of yesterday's night. It's very nice to have such a memory. And I also keep thinking that they were supposed to be on my grave, and then I have to feel thankful that they aren't. They have a great value and meaning to me... so I really hope I manage to keep them alive, it would be shame if I didn't..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I will give them a bit of .. magical.. encouragment.. every day. .. to make them stay fresh for you. " Tide said then quietly, seeming pleased, but little thoughtful. " But even if they die - please, remember that I shall but bring you new ones. " He promised gently and shyly. "Flowers - they are shorty lived, grow each year, replacable..   You are ireplacable. As long as you live, do not fret - it is okay if flowers do die, as long as you are okay.  Memory will stay, and we will remember. "

[Mirach]

"That's really nice, to have someone who thinks that I'm irreplaceable... In plays, every actor is replaceable, it's always *the show must go on*..."

[VisAnastasis]

" Well, if we are going to be together, that is the whole deal - of growing together, till you are ireplacable to one another.... " demon commented a little nervously. " To become ireplacable in someone's heart, so much you can't imagine life without them - I am willing to give my best in my part of it. I told you...  I am searching for something that will be...  Lasting. "

[Mirach]

"Lasting... I really hope it will be lasting..." Senecio murmured a bit sadly. "I don't want to plant these flowers on your grave, alright?"

[VisAnastasis]

" I don't want you to, either. I am not even sure there would be enough of me left for a grave in that case, to be honest. " Tide smiled sadly, revealing a little bit of fear and grief he had felt as his possible death neared. " But in case that I do die... could I have a request for you?" He bid. " Do not.... seek for any vengence...   and do not give up on searching for true love, okay? Everyone deserves to have someone ireplacable ..  but if it turned out that I was not meant to be one for you.... I need you to patch up your heart, and search again, okay? You se in no way obliged to grieve forever. If not me, sometimes, they will come someone who will be ireplacable to you ... someone sweet..  charming... normal.. "  

[Mirach]

"I fear I have given up on that already before you came..." Senecio said quietly.  "So try not to die, because I can't guarantee that..."

[VisAnastasis]

" If Death wants you dead, you are dead...  " Tide whispered quietly  " I only hope that Svarik is right, and that he is different now... that he may feel too bad about killing me and chose not to, despite his hate for my nature and kin. I can not defend myself and hurt him, without taking down the world in process, should I injure him further. I can not fight back, if I am not to do in the world. " Demon looked down." My only hope.... is Svarik. He wants me to live, and he wants me to help Death. He did not fail me in anything so far... I will trust him once more, in the end. "

[Mirach]

"If he can make violets grow, then I am inclined to believe he can do that as well," Senecio said to give Tide some courage.

[VisAnastasis]

" Perhaps." Tide nodded, not wanting to burden him further with uncertain future. " How about.. we use the time we have to the most, then, shall we?" He grinned little fraily as he tied to get ti more pleasant topic. " Would you like me to show you your room here? I personally chose it, because I am a greedy person and wanted to have a say in it.... "

[Mirach]

"Depends..." Senecio said a bit hesitantly. "Will I be confined to it, or can I move freely in the house?"

[VisAnastasis]

" We can just check it out, but you can stay here with me tonight stil, if you like. I do not mind. I have nothing else to do. I would just like to show it to you, to see if you like the arrangement " Tide offered. " I think you can walk around freely, as long as you stay far from the entrance of the mansion so nobody think you want to sniffed your way out. Hans will always have an eye out on you, anyway. You can come to me whenever you like, through. We are, if I can say so, super conveniently close... " he smiled mysteriously.

[Mirach]

"If it will really be a room, and not a cell, then it's alright," Senecio sighed with relief. "Let's go to see it."

[VisAnastasis]

" Hans doesn not like you one bit. He wanted to give you small dusty room to make you miserable and moody." Tide chuckled a little bit, as he stood up." But I negotiated with him... it took a while... so I really hope you will enjoy it... I wanted you close... but I also wanted you to have lot of space, so you can make yourself at home..   "

[Mirach]

"I did not have much space at home," Senecio said. "t wasn't actually much of home, just a place to sleep at. Actually, the theatre always felt more like home... I spent most of the time there."

[VisAnastasis]

" It is alright... I would still like you to se if you can feel more at home here, though. That is why I want you to have your own corner to live in. You deserve your own comfort place." He admitted." You need to be independent from me, if you are to be my equal. Only like that, you can grow, instead of stagnate. "

[Mirach]

Snecio nodded. "I thought it's a bit... not proper, if I stay here. We only had a first date, after all..."

[VisAnastasis]

" Nah... It's not like I need to sleep, and we have to crample on same bed, and make it awkard. " Tide chuckled shyly." As long as we don't do or iniciate anything we are not ready for yet, you can hang out as much as you like. My bestime is never, and I don't mind lletting you nap. Go to your room whenever you feel like having some * you time*. Do not leave if you just worry if it is proper or not. You are in vulnerable position. " He started his opinion, as ever, with such refreshing honesty and clarity. " I do not want to... spend *that* kind of night with you yet. First time should be special. But I do want to be a comfort and distraction to you, in this uncertain moment in your life. Boyfriends comfort and look out for each other. That is a part of the deal. "
