@crown_ofeyes "ah... No I don't think I have, mostly just.. a lot of wine." She rubbed at her eyes, wiping away any remaining tears. "I probably should.."

@flamesMechanic “She won’t. I know it.” Gertrude winks, trying to calm the mood. “Now… let’s get you in. Have you eaten?”

[ @crown_ofeyes ] Ember stood outside Agnes and Gertrude's door, tears in her eyes, still in the dress from the party, her wax dripping down and hardening in the snow. There was hesitation as her hand hovered over their door, tears pouring down in a heavy stream by now +

@crown_ofeyes Ember looks up at the two, finally looking them in the eyes. She looked rough, eyes puffy and red, exhaustion evident on her face. "... She.. she's very forgiving.. l don't think she will hold it against me.. Hopefully.."

@flamesMechanic “I’m sure you still are. We all slip up. Even me.” Gertrude takes another step closer, and puts a gentle hand on ember’s arm. She watches for a moment before speaking. “And I’ve never held it against her.”

@crown_ofeyes The wax seemed to be cooled down for the most part, her body temperature cooling down to its usual temperature, something more mild. "I.. I'm supposed to be her safe person.."

@flamesMechanic “She won’t hate you, dear. That’s it…” She runs a hand over her arm, checking the wax. “I don’t think she could hate you.”

@crown_ofeyes She takes Deep breaths, following along agnes' breathing, watching the wax slowly start to slow down, watching the way the golden red hue under her skin seemed to die down. "I just don't want her to hate me..."

@flamesMechanic “You do, darling. Poor thing.” She mimics deep breaths, slow. “Vex is caring. I’m sure none of this will be held against you… just focus on taking care of yourself before all that. I don’t want you losing too much wax…”

@crown_ofeyes She nods frantically, trying to stabilize her breathing just a bit. She hated this, she hated feeling like this, so.. vulnerable. "Right.. I need, I need to cool down.."

@flamesMechanic Agnes hums, head tilted. “I imagine not… oh, you poor thing. Come now, cool down and then we can deal with this. Breathe with me?”

@crown_ofeyes Ember shakes her head, she felt the shame run hot through her body, coursing through her like the flame she held. "She.. didn't take it well.."

@flamesMechanic “And she was okay with that?” Agnes sighs softly, running a hand over her arm. “We need to get you cooled down…”

@crown_ofeyes "she's.. she's ok I think, I helped her with the wounds and then.. left so I wouldn't hurt her again." Her eyes seemed fixed on the ground, watching the wax drip. Looking her parents in the eyes, admitting that she helped vex with the wound and then left, it was too much.

@flamesMechanic “And you did protect her. You got her out of there, didn’t you? How is she now?” Agnes moves to step back slightly, but puts her hands on embers shoulders, so she’s still holding her in a way.

@crown_ofeyes "I just wanted to protect her... She was going to get hurt, I, I couldn't let that happen.." She muttered, looking down at the ground trying to avoid eye contact. Even after helping vex bandage her arm and take care of the wound everything was still so,, terrifying.

@flamesMechanic “Blisters aren’t so bad… I’m sure she knows you didn’t mean to do it.” Agnes gives her a gentle squeeze. “You were scared. It happens, dear.”

@crown_ofeyes "it.. It started to blister.. it wasn't bad blisters, but they were there..." She muttered, her breathing shaking as she thought on the look of vexes arm, guilt washing over her.

@flamesMechanic “I know, I know. Shh…” A hand runs through her hair. Gentle, comforting. Gertrude stands close, but doesn’t touch. She knows how they got they can get in these moments. “Ember. How… badly was it?”

@crown_ofeyes Seemed to crumble under her like clay. "I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to hurt her...."

@crown_ofeyes Ember let herself sob loudly into her arms, she hadn't sobbed like this since she was younger. Her words were incoherent, wax starting to drip faster as she heated up. Usually ember was good at controlling things like this, but when her mood got to be too much everything just.. +

@lasttokenleft Enough to burn vex.

@lasttokenleft She laughed just a small bit, at least she wasn't the only one going crazy over this. "I'm so glad you feel the same.. I was honestly worried, y'know, with us being roommates and all.." She felt herself lean closer, the heat just getting a tiny bit warmer, but still not+

Message to <cutie> @lasttokenleft 📲 I'm sorry... I'm so sorry vex 📲 Are you ok? Please tell me you're ok 📲I, I didn't realize how hot my hands were getting.. I'm sorry..

@lasttokenleft "I was supposed to tell you during the event... Before everything.. I, I thought while both of us were looking nice it would be a good idea." She laughed awkwardly, trying not to panic. Vex was so important to her, so very important compared to everything else.

@flamesMechanic Vex blinks once. For a moment, she doesn’t move at all. The streetlight hum fills the gap where a reaction should be. “…Ember,” she says slowly. Her grip tightens slightly on the sleeve she’s holding. “I like you too...” She glances down between them, then back up. "Yeah."

@lasttokenleft "I.. uh, Uhm..." She felt her mouth go dry, trying to find the words she was so desperate to say to vex just seconds before. "I like you. A lot. Not just as a friend.. as, more than a friend."

@flamesMechanic Vex tilts her head a little, studying her, not intensely, just attentively in that quiet, unnervingly focused way she has. "Okay," she says. No jokes this time. Her thumb idly traces the seam of Ember’s sleeve.

@lasttokenleft "vex... I really need to tell you something..." She shifted slightly, watching the way vex stared at her, it was.. exhilarating. Maybe this time she could tell her without everything going up in flames.

@flamesMechanic Vex exhales, her shoulders easing a fraction as Ember’s thumb moves across her cheek. "Don’t promise absolutes," she murmurs. "Life likes loopholes." But she leans into the touch anyway, eyes half-lidded. "Just… don’t disappear alone next time. Drag me with you or something."
