shelley_wintersZera stumbles slightly as she tries to run down the Eastern beach, fighting tears. Stronger she may be, but she is far from sure-footed and the sandy ground is difficult.
It is some time before she stops, breathing raggedly, and sinks down onto a rock far back from the waves.
He had never sounded like that before. Never.
And she had- Stupid. She knows how important his music is, and still she had interrupted, and...
She wraps her arms around herself. She doesn't dare go back.

A pause, and a quick clarification.
"Not out of my own desire, for I do enjoy your company, but rather I would be understanding, if disappointed, if you felt such a way after my recent behavior..."

Quietly she uncurls from her position on the very uncomfortable rock - ouch - and timidly goes closer to where he sits.
"I like your company."

Date: 2006-01-04 08:00 pm (UTC)"Oh."
A pause. He found this rather odd that she were still fond of his company after he had behaved so poorly. She was a very sweet girl. Tapping the ground beside him lightly with his hand, he spoke in a soft voice.
"Well, you are free to enjoy it whenever you like. Again, I must apologize, for I do enjoy your company and never meant to give the implication that I did not."

Date: 2006-01-04 08:34 pm (UTC)"Quite often, actually."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 08:40 pm (UTC)"Whenever you want."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 08:48 pm (UTC)"Zera, have I fallen from your grace enough that I may no longer embrace you?"
A pause.
"Doubtlessly, I will hold you whenever you like, but I do not know if such would be in your favor."

Date: 2006-01-04 09:47 pm (UTC)Her expression might be interpreted as hopeful as she shifts closer to him on the soft sand.

Date: 2006-01-04 09:53 pm (UTC)With a soft smile, Joar held out his arms to Zera. Not a large motion, but an invitation nonetheless.

Date: 2006-01-04 09:58 pm (UTC)It feels very odd to have to lean down to hug him.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 10:14 pm (UTC)A soft smile on his face.

Date: 2006-01-04 10:33 pm (UTC)Quietly she leans her head on his shoulder, holding him as close as she can.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 10:41 pm (UTC)Resting his head against hers, the only part of her visible under the grey cloak, Joar held on tightly to Zera. It was not particularly hard, resting in his lap as she was.
He felt no need to say anything at all. This was apology and resolution enough for him.
