[ Had it been any other time, Eloise would have found that sweeping hand through his hair distracting. Disarming. She might, in twenty minutes, but right now her heart is racing and she's leaning over the table with him. ]

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.

[ He sighs as he does feel that she's not fully grasping the whole picture. He does understand her concern, but it is far deeper than she can truly grasp. ]

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.

[ She returns his sigh but knows that he's right. From what she's seen at her time on the switchboard, he's a viable threat to her when he's not in his right mind. She reaches her hand out to him and frowns. ]

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.

[ He reaches out to grasp her hand rather than leave her hanging. ]

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. ]

[ She looks down at their hands for a moment before pulling her hand back. It hurts sometimes, having feelings for someone. It hurts even more when you can't help them with their problems. ]

Would you like to go to dinner this week? It can be casual, I know you have a mission coming up.

[ There is a pang of hurt, when she pulls her hand away. But he merely pulls his own hand back picking up his mug instead. ]

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.

As much as I enjoy making grilled cheese for the two of us, it would be nice. [ She smiles at the table and not at him. Her hand is still warm from his touch and there's something eating at her. It's something to be ignored, at least for now. ]

I hope they don't take you for too long. It gets quiet here.

I'll do my best to be quick and efficient. So that I'm not away longer than necessary.

[ 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.]

[personal profile] bridgertons 2024-09-19 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It's only because I would miss you.

[ 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?
oldmanfive: (64 | Season 4)

[personal profile] oldmanfive 2024-09-20 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I miss you too, when I have leave on missions.

[ He admits as he honestly prefers her company to being alone. ]

Maybe more of a disagreement rather than a fight?
bridgertons: (33)

[personal profile] bridgertons 2024-09-20 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I think I prefer to call it a disagreement. I've had plenty of fights with my family, and while they are unavoidable, they are also unpleasant.

[ 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.
oldmanfive: (58 | Season 4)

[personal profile] oldmanfive 2024-09-20 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've had a lot of fights with my family too. So I get it.

[ 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.

[personal profile] bridgertons 2024-09-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I didn't need to be an ass about it. Even if we both understand.

[ Her finger lingers on his thumb before she glances away and bites her lip. This is a performance of forced focus. ]

Thank you.

[ Slowly he turns his hand over and captures her hand again. He looks up at her with a soft smile. ]

Really, it's alright. I'm not mad or anything.

[ He gives her hand a squeeze. ]

So let's move on, okay?
bridgertons: (80)

[personal profile] bridgertons 2024-09-20 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course.

[ 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.

[personal profile] oldmanfive 2024-09-21 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Slowly he nods as he releases his grasp on her hand in order to sit back in his chair. ]

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. ]

If I focus on the puzzle instead of you we may actually stand a chance.

[ 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. ]

[personal profile] oldmanfive 2024-09-22 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well far be it from me to distract you, Miss Bridgerton.

[ 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. ]
