I'll stay in my room. I will. But I want you to know that I don't want to. I don't wish for you to go through it alone. I will sit there at the door and wait for you to tell me it's safe, but I challenge you to say that you wouldn't want to do the same.
[ Her grey eyes are on him like a hawk. There's sadness in there, but Eloise's stance is firm. ]
If you heard me screaming, I bet you'd tear that door off of its hinges to make sure I was safe. All I am trying to explain is that I'd do the same for you.
no subject
Eloise, of course I would want to check on you if you woke up distressed. However that's not the point here. Our danger levels our clearly different. And honestly I hope to God that you never experience anything that would give you the sort of episodes that I have.
no subject
I do understand, I just hate that there's a problem that I cannot fix. You have my word, I'll keep myself safe and will not intervene.
no subject
For what it is worth, I wish you could fix the problem. I do appreciate your concern and I really appreciate you respecting my wishes.
[ He says after a beat, while giving her hand a gentle squeeze. ]

Would you like to go to dinner this week? It can be casual, I know you have a mission coming up.
no subject
Sure, that's fine. At least it saves us the trouble of cooking. I have a meeting tomorrow to get the file for my next mission.
no subject
I hope they don't take you for too long. It gets quiet here.

[ He replies gently before picking up a puzzle piece and snapping it into place. His mood definitely still subdued. He considers if he should go back to his book, but instead he continues to look down at the puzzle.]
no subject
[ She nudges him in the leg with her foot, her eyes still on the table. Eloise gives him another nudge and sighs. ]
Do you think this counts as a fight?
no subject
[ He admits as he honestly prefers her company to being alone. ]
Maybe more of a disagreement rather than a fight?
no subject
[ She reaches out to tap his hand, pouting as she does. ]
I'm truly sorry that I challenged you so emphatically. I can admit that I dislike it when I can't fix a problem.
no subject
[ He glances up when she taps his hand. ]
It's alright, Eloise. I get it. I don't really like being unable to solve problems either. So I understand.
no subject
[ Her finger lingers on his thumb before she glances away and bites her lip. This is a performance of forced focus. ]
Thank you.
no subject
Really, it's alright. I'm not mad or anything.
[ He gives her hand a squeeze. ]
So let's move on, okay?
no subject
[ She doesn't take her hand back, but Eloise looks up at him as she tilts her head. Perhaps a challenge would suit them both well. ]
Let us finish this puzzle and then enjoy some time reading. I think the couch is lonely without us.
no subject
Alright, though you must have a lot of faith in us, if you think we can finish this puzzle soon.
[ He says with a chuckle, reaching for his coffee to take a sip as he looks over the puzzle pieces again. ]
no subject
[ She takes a sip of her coffee and acts like what she's said is a perfectly normal thing. Her eyebrow is raised, but there's nothing but good humor there. ]
no subject
[ He says teasingly, taking another sip of his coffee. His eyes twinkle with amusement as he picks up another piece and snaps it into place. ]
