Send Me An Angel To Love... [Closed]

Who: Beatrice and David
Where: Beatrice's Room
When: The evening of April 14th
What: Tea and possibly dinner to help with some seriously bruised emotions.
Rating: Mostly fluff?

[Beatrice had, of course thought this out since their last conversation. She wanted so much to clear up the invisible barrier between them. He was always kind to her. He had put up with her marital confusion. And he had forgiven her. At the very least she could make him understand he meant more to her than just a ploy to make another jealous, which is how she felt she came off to him with recent events. She'd set out a lovely little spread of tea and a light dinner that was easy enough for her to manage just before dialing out to him.]

David? I recall that you said all I needed to do was ask and you would be there. Well...I'm asking....

[ He's almost a little surprised to receive the call. Not in a bad way, though, considering even after everything, even after all the thinking and brooding he's done over it, he wants to see her. Or rather, he never minds seeing her. And they do have a lot to talk about, don't they?

Of course. The answer is simple. ]

... And so I will be there.

[ That short answer is all she gets, since he doesn't need to guess about where he needs to be. So a little while later (yes, he hurried) there's a knock on her door. ]

[She hadn't expected him so soon, but she appreciated that he understood where to go and the urgency to get there. She'd smooth her skirt and open the door with a soft smile.]

I'm glad you came. Are you hungry~? I mean...unless you have something else pressing.~

[ It's a little strange to act in his usual manner even after last time, but.. he can't help being polite, really, especially not in the face of an attractive woman. Even if he was already friendzoned due to something neither of them could really control. ]

There is nothing more pressing than this, I assure you. [ This talk with her needs to happen, of course, but.. it's just nice too. ]

And I would not mind a bit to eat.

[She'll nod, content that his time was hers, and lead him by hand to the table. The spread was modest, but she prepared it herself so she was pleased.]

You can have whatever you'd like. I'm not an excellent cook, but I've been practicing. I apologize in advance if it isn't that good.

[Oh, where to begin. She's not good with all of these feelings.]

[ There he goes then, nodding at her politely before sitting down.. he's pleased with it no matter how she made them, though, he's not picky.. ]

I believe it is most likely good. [ There's a hint of something warm even with his lineface, and he does try some, slowly but surely-- and really, there's a look of approval all the same. Then again, he's not making it easier on her since he's not talking about what he was called for.. ]

[She's glad to see the approving looks. She really isn't great with this home maker deal. Thank God for cook books and men who are willing to give her a small idea of how to use them.]

Ah, I appreciate the sentiment.~

[Now, about that pesky awkwardness surrounding them.]

I'm sure you understand why I asked you here. Please feel free to be candid with me since it's just the two of us.

The only way we're going to be able to bypass this is if we voice our concerns.

[That sounded diplomatic enough, right?]

[ Hey, David's the king of diplomatic, so he will just nibble a little more as she speaks, but when she's done he just nods. Fine, there we go.. ]

I do not feel like there is much to be candid about. After all, my opinion has changed little from what I said back then.. I said I forgive you, but I also do not blame you for anything. So there should not be a problem. [ Except that there's more behind it, but.. ]

[She'll delicately sip at a cup of tea, letting his words sink in.]

You say that, but I know better.

I feel it in the way you speak to me. As though I'm a stranger that you have to maintain eloquence for.

So, why don't you tell me what's really on your mind. Or have we fallen so low that we cannot do so with one another?

[ Well, truthfully he always maintains a slight distance with everyone, just a little, but there's more going on here, yes.

Or rather, jealousy issues.. as usual. ]

That man.. [ Gilgamesh, obviously. ] .. Do you love him?

[Such a question...posed so bluntly...will nearly make her choke on her tea.]

Gilgamesh? Nonsense.

[She had grown close to the man, but love? That was something a part of her still reserved for someone else. And truly she was sure part of him was reserved for another as well.]

I'll give you the benefit of my honesty.
Do I like being with him? Yes.
Do I love him? ...No.

It would be unfair to give a man a heart that is only partly his.
And I am too vain to ask for a fraction of loyalty, myself.

Why do you ask~?

[ Hey, she asked him to be open about it, so he was just direct for once! It was more practical to be direct about it, either way..

... Still.. He can't help but feel a little glad over these words. Relieved. Even if it doesn't show up on the outside as usual, it's like a burden is lifted off his shoulders with just those words.. ]

I wanted to know, after last time. Even though what we did was all influenced by something else.. I still almost felt as if I had lost, in a way.

I think we all lost in that situation.

[A pause.]

I don't blame you for not wanting to speak to me for a while because of it.
I just wanted to save you from what could have been much worse, I think.
I'd hate to have made something legal between us only for us to realize later that we'd made a mistake.

I just wish I hadn't run into you in such a state. You almost got roped into marrying a witch and fighting another king. I'd be angry with me if I were you.~

[ Well, he wouldn't have found it a mistake, that's the problem! He's not saying it out loud though, but.. from what he thinks, even if they would have gotten married there and then, even though it was under the influence of what was going on at the time and then only realised what had happened later.. He wouldn't have regretted it. Even now.

But saying that.. ]

He and I were not on the best terms to begin with. [ at least David tried with him.. ] So there is no reason to be angry at you for that. Furthermore, I have not once seen marriage as a bad thing.

[ there, a much more subtle way of putting it, now it sounds like marriage in general, right..? ]

I am still standing by my words. I could never be angry for any reason at a woman as wonderful as you are.

[This man is far too nice. Too kind. Too naive. She stared into her teacup, unable to look at him. Wonderful? Did he even know what it meant to call her that? Could she ruin that for him? She'd shake her head, answering herself without filling him in on the thought process.]

I'm glad. I'd hate for you to be angry at me.
If marriage is simply a concept that would not have bothered you, then we'll not be concerned with what could have been in either case.

That leaves me to wonder what is bothering you, then. It cannot simply be the feeling of loss.

Sometimes men merely need.. some time to themselves to think.

[ It's true, right? Isn't that what he's done all this time, after he threw himself so much into fighting Shadows instead, just.. thinking? ]

If there was truly something bothering me that much, I would not have been able to face you like this, true?

[He had a point. Perhaps she was making more of this than what was necessary.]

If that is all there is then I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I do hope you've had plenty enough time to think, though. Perhaps this is all that's needed to clear things up between us.

Still...I'm glad you came.~

... I am glad to speak to you once more too.

[ It's the truth. ]

For the two of us to lose contact.. I would rather not have something like that happen fully anytime.

If it's up to me, the two of us will always be on good terms.

You're someone I don't want to disappoint and truthfully I don't want to lose you. You're kind to me without ulterior motives. That doesn't happen often to a witch like me so I treasure it when it does.

Being kind without ulterior motives is something that God has taught me to do. And I think it is good to act as such to other good people either way, as much as I can.

And you are truly one of the best women I have met.

And you are indeed one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I may not be fit to be your wife or love, but I'm pleased that you can still talk to me as a friend. That much makes me more than happy.~ ♥
