Weak

[simplememes]

WEAK FOR [...]


What am I doing? Oh, nothing. Not a single thing. I’m certainly not rifling through a bunch of photos in my pocket-

NO NO WAIT STOP DON’T LOOK. I can't reveal my one weakness.

[1] Someone strapped a sign on your character that tells the whole wide world what they're weak for, what gets them biting their lip, blushing, weak at the knees, all that. Whether it's a specific person's name or particular words/actions (calling her a good girl, touching his neck, kissing their forehead), there's no difference in the end. They're exposed either way.
[2] All that matters is everyone can see it.
[3] That's it.

Do not post any blank top levels.

I... have not. Is is not too soon? We do not know what kind of names we will require.

[layersoflies]

I think that is just fine. Some people refrain because of mortality, but I know this one is strong, they remind me multiple times a day.

[greenkinslayer]

You have thought of it. What are your favourites?

[layersoflies]

Most of the names I enjoy are really on the nose. Chaysen, means hunter. Marin, means of the sea. Ronan is little seal. Fianna is warrior huntress. There is a theme here I think.

[greenkinslayer]

I would, not surprisingly, lean toward Valyrian names. Maelle, Gaelon, perhaps.

[layersoflies]

Those are beautiful names, I can see why you would lean toward them. I like Valarr an Laena as well, Valarian names have so much to offer.

[greenkinslayer]

Laena was my cousin. Vhagar's rider before me.

[Because of course.]

[layersoflies]

I had no idea, not the best association for you is it? I do not want to bring back anything that would cause you pain.

[greenkinslayer]

You would not know. Her funeral was the day I claimed Vhagar, and the day I lost my eye.

[layersoflies]

I understand why you would not revisit it, that sounds like a very unhappy memory. I am sorry.

[greenkinslayer]

The best and the worst. Still, it is a pretty name.

We have time to think.

[layersoflies]

A few months still, I'm sure whatever name we choose will be very fitting. Something fitting for a kicking foal, they certainly enjoy the activity.

[greenkinslayer]

Are you feeling ill?

[layersoflies]

Not today, but here [she draws one of his hands to her abdomen] the babe is very active right now. It is a very strange feeling.

[greenkinslayer]

[He feels it after just a moment, an expression of awe dawning across his face.]

You are so amazing.

[layersoflies]

They tend to be most active when we are talking, I wonder if our voices are recognized.

[She tips her head to the side to press a kiss to his jaw.]

Thank you, for all of this.

[greenkinslayer]

We are what they hear most.

[He returns the kiss, pressing his lips to her forehead.]

You need not thank me. You are doing all the work.

[Then he touches her belly again.]

Īlva rūs.

[layersoflies]

I think that is why I like to read out loud, I hope I do not keep you up.

[She tips her head back against his shoulder leaning into the kiss.]

I will be honest, It will be a relief to hold them in my arms. I have never held a babe you know?

[Unless small animals count.]

Iksā dōna.

[greenkinslayer]

It does not bother me. Your voice is quite soothing.

[He smiles down at her.]

Aye, to have them well and healthy and safe. Much relief, indeed. Ñuha prūmia, ñuha jorrāelagon.

[layersoflies]

I am glad that you enjoy it.

[She gives him a gentle nudge with her nose.]

Ten fingers and toes, hair as radiant as the sun, eyes blue as forget-me-not.

[Lovely in every way.]

I just thought of something else that makes me weak, any time you speak High Valyrian to me.

[She's aware that hers is unpolished and sometimes finding a word is difficult, but his is as flawless as silk.]

[greenkinslayer]

Two eyes.

[He jokes. He can do that sometimes.]

The babe will need to learn. Might as well start now.

[layersoflies]

[And the joke is rewarded with a laugh.]

We are learning together and I thank you for your monastic degree of patience even though I am years behind you I am learning quickly.

[greenkinslayer]

You are learning quite nicely. I commend you for that. It will be our own secret way of communicating.
