@glaciesmessorem "..." She does remain quiet now, then. ...Only humming from his massage.

@DaemonCalamity "Hush." Pushing deep into her shoulders, working at the knots of stress plaguing Velvet.

...I'm the only survivor of a village no one wants to remember. And it's not like I didn't die that day too.

@Magakazam Mhm.

@DaemonCalamity Is it everything you were hoping for~?

It never fails.

@Magakazam And?

@DaemonCalamity You just wanted to see me in it, didn't you~?

@DaemonCalamity I'm cat your service!

@Magakazam That's better.

@glaciesmessorem "Ere..." Her stress is...slowly easing. And she's leaning into his touch.

@DaemonCalamity slipping behind her, rubbing her shoulders. "You deserve this. and more."

@PraetorDefect I love you too.

@DaemonCalamity I'm so spoiled. I love you.

YAY

@glaciesmessorem "Oh?" She does chuckle just a bit. "Sounds nice."

@DaemonCalamity "Maybe I can just... pamper ya. Treat you well." Make her relax, try to take her mind off things.

...Alright. Fine.

@glaciesmessorem "Right..." Another moment of quiet. But she's soon looking towards him properly, after calming down just a bit. "What should we do? Tonight?"

@DaemonCalamity "Mm." Squeezing her hand. "...enough about that for now."

@BloodiedProdxgy Upset now, are you?

@DaemonCalamity .. Silence.

@StrengthPrince "...Yeah." There's not much she can say, but...well, he's right.

@DaemonCalamity "Wouldn't have much meaning if we could kick that stuff out of our heads forever."

...You all just want to stare at me in the maid outfit.

Same here, Nora. (A gentle, genuine smile.)

Tonight...we can relax. Sirius has been wanting to keep you company too.

@glaciesmessorem There was...a long silence. Perhaps it was clear that Velvet was having trouble with her composure the longer she thought about all this. "...It makes me want to show them what it's like. How I felt. But...that's wrong. I can't...do that."

@DaemonCalamity "You don't have to thank me. It's just... ...it upsets me to think about how no one cares. Not even the neighboring town. And I can't imagine how it must make you feel."

Well...let's stay together for a while.

@glaciesmessorem "Right...I understand. Still, thank you, Ere..."

@DaemonCalamity "Of course. But only when you're ready to do so. I'll have to spend some time getting everything prepped anyhow..."
