[silicone]

[ hi we are at the ikea and eiden is cutting a tiny meatball in half, handing it to his tiny white stoat friend who eagerly digs in. ]

Man... I guess if I had to haunt somewhere, an Ikea isn't bad.

[ashmark]

[ shamelessly sauntering over because she has never been shy in her entire life. hi. ]

Looks cheap. We could do better.

wk 2, monday

[silicone]

Hey, Nahri.

[ an easy-going wave. he's giving off pretty relaxed vibes for the moment as he approaches, dressed in a black, high-necked shirt and some high-waisted pale blue trousers. ]

You exploring? There are some pretty neat places just here in the mall alone. [ fuckin finally ]

[ashmark]

[ she waves back and trots on up to him. ]

Yeah, I thought this was going to be like a bigger Ikea... This is even more like an indoor bazaar.

[ she's wearing her same fit as last week - leggings and tshirt dress. her money :( ]

w3, tuesday

[ashmark]

[ we are at the movie theater. eiden is now her unofficial guide to modern things she doesn't understand. you're welcome. ]

Watch a movie with me.

[ yeah this isn't a question. like, at least she's seen one by now, but the experience still kind of freaked her out. ]

[silicone]

[ he's content with this! ]

Let's do it!

[ glancing at the list of available movies... ]

Any preference? Like, an action movie? Or maybe a comedy...

w4, monday

[ashmark]

[ so, first off, she's still feeling pretty down. but when she sees eiden, she walks up to him and takes his hand. it's gentle so he can pull away. she looks at him, but doesn't know what to say. ]

me like let them have a soft minute before we inflict mems (also i have to run to a meeting)

[silicone]

[ oh he's not pulling away at all. he just. immediately starts walking towards her too? they're both walking towards each other and so just. yeah. hands. ]

Nahri... hey...

[ he squeezes her hands gently. ]

Wanna hang out for a bit together? Was gonna go exploring...

w4, friday

[ashmark]

[ so this fucking sucks. there's no way to dress it up: nahri is feeling absolutely abysmal. unlike last friday, she isn't crying (yet) but there's just a sort of. cold nothingness on her features. shock, probably. still trying to cope with big loss in such a short amount of time - god, was it only yesterday she was feeling useless over not being able to help her remaining teammates? wasn't it only a few days ago, when she and eiden were bonding over their losses? it's too much. it's too much, she can't take this anymore if people she cares about are going to be so brutally taken from her. ]

I don't think I'm strong anymore.

[silicone]

[ yeah no this?

this sucks. he is absolutely withering right now. the results of the night are still not quite settling with him, and he feels like he's walking through a nightmare inside of a nightmare over and over again. they're just sitting somewhere after the results and he just wraps an arm around her and pulls her into his shoulder gently. ]

You are. But you don't have to be strong all the time.

It's okay not to be, too.

wk 4, saturday post-trial

[silicone]

[ wherever the fuck she is he's running and hugging her so so tightly right now. ]

[ashmark]

[ RUNNING INTO HIS ARMS TO HUG BACK!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! she's tearing up a little ]

We did it, Eiden-- we did it. We did it!

w5, monday

[ashmark]

...Are they overcompensating?

[ gestures around to the fucking CAVE SYSTEM we're in. ]

I liked the clouds more.

[silicone]

[ as eiden pulls off a hood from his outfit. ]

Me too, this is definitely the complete opposite of where we were last.

[ the first thing nahri can notice is that

eiden's hair is bleached white ]

w5, wednesday

[ashmark]

Did you survive??

[silicone]

yeah just restinh my arm
got setsu back to t bd

w5, thursday pre-curfew!

[silicone]

[ my naaaaahri, the minute he hears she came back from one of those shitty adventures he's gonna come find her even if he's in pretty shit shape. topper is trotting at his heels, though he leans to pick him up in his good hand so he can be the one to give some cute little scrabbles on nahri's warehouse door. ]

Re: w5, thursday pre-curfew!

[ashmark]

[ so. since she passed out she's been taking a lil nap but she's up by the time he comes a-knockin'. she cracks open the door, hesitant. cautious. she doesn't even open the door with much gusto and she slowly steps outside.

maybe her reaction should be more extreme than it is: just staring, looking him over. processing.

until she reaches up and grabs both sides of his face - not very hard, just. is this real? is he real? ]

I remember you.

w6, monday

[ashmark]

[ IT'S COLD IT'S COLD SHE IS RUNNING UP TO HIM AND CLINGING!! TO HIM!! ]

Eidennn...

[ thought: it's so cold.]

[silicone]

[ my nyari!!!! eiden is already dressed up and immediately wraps her up in his green coat! brrr! ]

Come here... [ bundles!!! ] this place is really chilly, huh. We should find you some better clothes for this.

w6, thursday

[ashmark]

Eiden!

[ HUG HUG HUG HUG HUG THIS ISN'T A THOUGHT IT IS WHAT MUST HAPPEN GIVE HER THE BOOYYYYY ]

[silicone]

Nahri!

[ HE SLAMS INTO HER IMMEDIATELY AND HUGS HER TIGHTLY. NO THOUGHTS, ONLY NAHRI. his hands clutch a little at whatever she's wearing as he ducks his face into her for a few moments. ]

w6, friday post-investigation

[silicone]

[ hi where is nahri it doesn't matter he's running to her at full fucking tilt. ]

Nahri! Nahri!

[ashmark]

[ she is... staring at her phone! in the void, somewhere. it's fine.

she manages to tear her eyes away to look at eiden as he charges at her. she braces for impact. ]

Eiden.

[ there's a slight quiver in her voice. ]

w6, saturday post trial

[silicone]

[ he's walking up to her with a huge napkin bulging and sits down beside her.

the napkin is full of cookies. all kinds. the kinds she had at curfew, pistachio, date, and all different types of christmas cookies too. he sets a to-go cup between them both, the biggest size, hot chocolate.

and he sits and just starts to eat. ]

[ashmark]

[ she isn't as excited to eat as he is - though she still takes a cookie and starts to pick at it. ]

Do you really think it was Mizuki?

w6, sunday

[silicone]

[ eiden is at the park walking around some of the crosses after execution, and from his feet there are just. dozens upon dozens of wildflowers springing up with his every step. he'll text nahri to meet him there for a walk when she's free, just to shake off a bit of the stress from the execution, since he's sure she'll want to make her own rounds with her team.

when he sees her, though, he'll hold out his hand. ]

Hi.

[ashmark]

[ of course she agreed; she has a certain schedule she likes to manage on sundays, and spending time with those she cares about takes priority.

there's a weak smile when she sees the flowers. she remembers him mentioning it earlier in the week. it's a sweet gesture. although she's careful when she approaches - remember how she said she'd heal herself? she may have fibbed about that, and there's a slight limp in her gait. ]

Hi. [ she takes his hand. ] Nice work.

w7, wednesday

[ashmark]

[ we're flopped and cuddling on an ikea bed.

i hope there's a slumber party confession circle and this can be after that because i think it would be funny ]

[silicone]

[ yeah it's a big ole cuddle party for two right here and he is just snuggling her ferociously. ]

Man, this suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

[ turns head to yell into a pillow. ]
