[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
She closes her eyes, tilting her head like she was really trying to make sense of Law's words - she doesn't disbelieve him, but it is difficult to process. Exhaling loudly through her nose, she tugs Law closer again for another hug.]
...So long as you're alright, I suppose I should be happy. [But she's not. Not completely. She has things she wants to say, but ruin her reunion with her nakama? They can share a drink and more words later.]
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
It's okay if you're not.
[Because he has to say it. He wouldn't dare tell Perona her feelings on the matter are invalid, whatever they may be. He avoided a lot of people today for the only reason he didn't want to be told what he was feeling was wrong. Not when he was still figuring it out for himself what exactly was wrong.
The only people he's opening up to about it are the ones he loves and trusts - or can see his own point of view.]
It's a lot to take in.
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
[Is that what it is? Perona really doesn't know how to word what she's feeling, but it sure as hell isn't happy. Hitting the 'undo' or 'reset' button seems far too simple, and removes so much of the sacrifice and pain everyone had to endure. Does that even matter anymore? Does anyone even remember? Or care? Just because everything is 'better' seems like such a disgusting way to placate the general populace. It's easy. It's simple.
It's not enough.
Perona shakes her head, dismissing the thoughts lest she just make herself angry. Luceti's always been a steaming pile, she shouldn't expect it to change, even for the so-called better.]
I can imagine it is...but we can talk later. [She pulls back again, but never enough to let got of Law's shirt. Call it insecurity, but Perona's reluctant to remove herself from her nakama now that she has him in her grip again.] I want to enjoy the time I have with you now, so we should drink.
[That, and some alcohol might warm her up. It's freezing out here and shes not exactly well dressed for the season, even with a cot and gloves.]
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
[Solidarity. And that's all he'll say for now. He'll bury the feelings deep.
He just wants to enjoy this too. Be happy. Sea knows it's a rare thing.
Law's having a hard time letting go as well. He half expects her to evaporate away if he does.]
Yeah, I'd rather just spend time with you too... drinking sounds perfect. [And some food as well, that too.] You want to go out for that or do you want to do it at the house?
[Yeah. This is his way of broaching if she wants to stay with him and Itachi?]
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
I--... [She shakes her head. He's really cute, and very sweet, and Perona loves him so much and owes him even more, but...] Law, I can't impose on you and your husband. A drink is more than enough.
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
[Itachi was okay was it before and Law knows in the case of Perona he will be again.
There are certain things that they understand in their marriage after all. How important Konoha and Sasuke are to Itachi and how important nakama are to Law.]
[Nov. 29 - Onward | Luceti Returning Characters]
Captain's orders? Very well then...thank you, again, Mr. Law.
