it isn’t fair, the depth of my looking, the threat of my looking.
 The Highly Inappropriate Tension Meme |
Touches. Glances. Sides brushing, so close to each other. The moment is, most likely, quiet, subdued, and calm. Or it could be loud and full of life, right in the middle of a vivacious party. Yet, no matter the case, your blood is pumping - no, nearly boiling with the passion bubbling between you and your companion. Unfortunately, this tension is completely and absolutely out of line. Whether it be the place, the time, your relationship with the person (be that literal relation or power difference, age difference, experience difference, and so on), your own lack of knowledge, or personal convictions, you should not act on any building desires. But here's the thing about tension: it builds. It builds, and it builds, until... Well, even subtlety can come to an inappropriate head. HOW TO PLAY

[They were cute! Im sure we could think of some reason for Sylvain to have stayed at court instead of returning to his hometown...]
hopefully this works, sorry for dropping off the map like that!
She liked Sylvain. She had learned that swiftly enough. It was only in that moment of relief, though, that she realised just how much, and it frightened her. It was one thing when it was brief and passing: when all that he represented was a sort of break, a distraction from the grief and the hollowness that still consumed her, it was justified. It was safe. She had not touched him, he had not touched her, and anything that might have stirred between them could be put aside once duty demanded.
But now, he was staying; and that changed things.
She was the King's sister, and the Lady of Edoras, and now more than ever, she had to bear herself as such. In the chaos of the rebuilding, in Rohan's vulnerability and the uncertainty of a new world, the currency of her hand was more important than it had ever been. Things were delicate, and in delicate times, people looked to their lords for certainty and stability. She had to be steadfast, to offer those, to be the King's sister and not merely a woman.
Flirtation and friendship were, perhaps, acceptable enough in moderation - but no more. Her thoughts, private and hidden, were her own... but they had started to roam beyond what honour permitted.
She pulled back from him, not quite avoiding him but keeping her distance. There were no more rides together, no quiet conversation; she was cool with him, and polite, and if she looked too long or lingered too close, then she hoped he had not noticed. Most of all, she avoided being alone with him.
Until now, when, returning from a trip to one of the nearby villages, she goes to leave the stables and almost walks into him. The colour comes sudden to her cheeks, and she clears her throat, taking a half-step back.
"Excuse me." She does not quite meet his eyes, partly out of embarrassment at how she has lately been avoiding him, and partly out of fear of what he might see there. "I did not realise... I was just leaving."
