[crystallinelore]

Ah...

[voice kinda rough. he's still fighting back tears for sure.]

[awakenerd]

It's a little strange, you holding back in front of me.

[crystallinelore]

I am... perhaps too accustomed to holding back in general.

But I also... don't want to be embarrassing, for you?

[awakenerd]

It's not like I think of you as me. I haven't experienced what you have so how could I? But we're not exactly unconnected either.

[crystallinelore]

Most certainly not unconnected.

I can try to stop holding back, but I would rather focus on you instead.

[awakenerd]

[Gently tugs at his flesh cheek.]

Raha~

[crystallinelore]

[scrunches his nose!! like he's not blushing and charmed to be called that.]

What?

[awakenerd]

You're really bad at being pampered.

[crystallinelore]

[...he laughs, softly.]

I cannot deny it.

[awakenerd]

[He nuzzles his cheek.]

Mmhm. You can't

[crystallinelore]

You are being very sweet to me.

[especially with everything, he doesn't say, counternuzzling.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah, so? You're still shady.

[But sad and that sucks. It's not like he wants old him to be a sad lonely cat. He resigned himself to it too, being alone, but... it's different from the outside.]

[crystallinelore]

[mock indignant huff!]

And here I've told you my secrets!

[awakenerd]

You're still going to go around in a good acting mysterious though.

[crystallinelore]

But not with you! In private, anyway.

[awakenerd]

That's right.

[He nuzzles his cheek again.]

In private you're Raha.

[crystallinelore]

[aw fuck

critical hit

at least he's not trying to hold back the tears now?]

Ah...

[awakenerd]

[He pets G'raha's hair, strokes his thumb over his cheeks and holds him close.]

[crystallinelore]

Raha...

[clinging, ashamed but trying not to hold back.]

[awakenerd]

[He'll keep petting soothingly, kissing the Exarch's wet cheeks.]

Raha. Raha.

[crystallinelore]

[a sobbing laugh.]

I am... truly bad at this.

[awakenerd]

[His hand trails down G'raha's arm, twines their fingers.]

What, being alone?

[crystallinelore]

[holds his hand tightly.]

The opposite, I think... I keep wanting to hide, even though it's you.

[awakenerd]

Well, I am handsome and that can be intimidating for people.

[crystallinelore]

[a weak laugh]

I am simply so intimidated by your face.
