She is the one, and I have a purpose:

The "Knight"/"Prince/ss *" Meme
* that's gender neutral

It's fairly simple, really, no royalty required. One of you is the "princess:" sweet, gentle, possibly energetic, always full of life and innocence. The other is the "knight:" stoic, or at least serious about protecting that one special person, dedicated, strong, a fighter. And the two of you are in love, even if one...less expressive than the other. Together romantically or not, there's something that connects you, most likely a driving need to protect.

But don't let the normal conventions full you, the "princess" (or "prince," as it may be, because the terms here are gender neutral) is just as important. Someone has look to the emotional well-being and happiness of the "knight," and often, those "knights" need a lot of help.

[While Historia was distracted, Kaede leaned in further to kiss her cheek. Just a brief, small one.]

It looks pretty.

...Do you want this one, when I'm finished?

[She doesn't know why she's saying it. She doesn't even really like the thing, herself. But if Kaede likes it...]

[Somehow, for some reason, she rather wants her to have it.]

[Historia hadn't shooed her away, so Kaede stayed right here, where her breath could tickle the other girl's cheek.

Obviously she was just looking at the embroidered flowers, it definitely wasn't about staying close to Historia.

If it won't trouble you.

[The closeness made her sort of feel like blushing, but... well, it wasn't hurting anything, was it? It didn't feel unsafe, from Kaede.]

It's fine, I don't mind it. Do you like the colors?
long_live_the_queen: (an actual smile)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-01-10 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
I do.

[Kaede reached out carefully, brushing her fingertips over the finished edge. The fabric was smooth, soft, and yet didn't seem terribly fragile.]

I like the lilies.

If you want, I can add a few more of them.

I didn't know you liked flowers, Kaede.
long_live_the_queen: (Calm for once)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-01-11 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
That would be nice.

[Kaede kept tracing her fingers to where Historia was was holding the piece up, curling her callused hand around the other girl's.]

Some of them. What about a red one, in the middle?

[personal profile] martyrerkomplex 2016-01-11 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Something about the touch of her hand made Historia pause for a moment, a bright blush rising into her cheeks.]

A red lily? About... maybe around there?

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-01-11 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaede noticed.]

Yes. Like your face.

[She chuckled a little, despite her own ears abruptly doing their best to blend in with her hair almost in sympathy.]

Anywhere you like.

[personal profile] martyrerkomplex 2016-01-16 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
And like yours.

[She might be pouting just a little. There's no need to pick on her, when you're the one who made her blush in the first place!]

[She can't help it! Kaede giggles. Actual laughter this time, too. The blush creeps further onto her cheeks, but she doesn't seem to mind terribly much. She even squeezes Historia's hand again.]

Don't look like that. That's my job.

[Goodness, her face might get stuck this way if she kept smiling. Then what would everyone else think?]

[It seems somehow very unlike Kaede's usual behavior. Very strange...]

What is, blushing?

You're in an unusual mood today.
long_live_the_queen: (don't forget me)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-01-16 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Looking grumpy all the time. I'm supposed to do that.

[Which Kaede was also doing a very poor job of right now.

Still, her laughter paused for a moment longer.

...is it bad?
martyrerkomplex: (I would dial the numbers)

[personal profile] martyrerkomplex 2016-01-16 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is it?]

[Probably.]


Is what bad?
long_live_the_queen: (not scowling at all)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-01-16 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Smiling so much.

[If it made Historia happy, it couldn't possibly be bad. Just felt strange.]

[personal profile] martyrerkomplex 2016-01-17 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - No. No, I don't think that's bad...
