her hands are sweaty as she rubs them on her jeans- she’s no good at this, at any of this, but she wants to be. she wants to good at all of this for her, even if it’s only ever one sided.
she can live without being loved. she has been for so long. but living without loving? hellion doesn’t want to go back to that way of living.
“thank you,” she says, eyes averted, voice soft. “for your help tonight.”
it’s selfish to ask this of her, but even if vivi never loves her hellion still wants to be around her…despite all her changes, hellion is still just as selfish as before.
“would you…would you consider staying, and maybe…maybe helping me run the clinic all the time?”
♛ vivi glanced to her as she winked her nose at the mixture of smells ; vanilla && lavender was an interesting combination && there was a soft linger of it in the air. it wasn’t as strong as it had been earlier since people left with it on themselves && she was almost thankful.
she stayed silent for a second, deciding how to go about responding to her before simply sighing at first, a small smile hinting at the corner of her lips after another moment.
❝ you’re welcome, hellion, it was my pleasure to help —— this is BOTH OF OUR ELEMENTS after all .. ❞ she uttered before frowning a touch, looking to her in full at the question.
she kept her opinion ; her STRONG opinion of the question to herself ——– why now ?? why ask her to stay when hellion knew of her feelings for her .. yet .. she did need the staffing AND the help.
damn it.
❝ i wouldn’t be AGAINST that consideration. it would take a bit for me to give you a FULL DECISION but .. just know i wouldn’t be against helping you run the clinic .. ❞
