bakerstreet | A moment stolen in sunbathed villas, framed by the creeping ivy

hidden relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both teammates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not supposed to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential long-term romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

( ooc - are you open to ocs? I have a very serious knightly type and things could get very chivalrous and complicated mutual “pining except not actually just pining but are we pretending we’re pining, what’s happening”

you know, that classic vibe)

[There's info on her journal (both generalised and more detailed), but the short of it is that she's Ishgardian lesser nobility with an icy exterior, but a softer interior. Fond of plants, the arts, politics, and music. Certainly the type to indulge in secret, hidden affairs.]
