3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...

Between you and me? It felt really good to do it.

[Fuck that guy.]

[bolderfell]

Heh. Guess I can imagine that.

[tigerpoet]

[Emboldened, Atsushi reaches out to lightly touch Therion's shoulder.]

Well, I think our trip to the market was a success.

[bolderfell]

[Just a little, just for a second, Therion leans into the touch. Then he looks away, adjusting his scarf, shelving this moment to turn over and over in his mind at a later, less exposed juncture.]

Wow. Got everything you could want, huh? This place never disappoints.

[tigerpoet]

[Atsushi's heart flutters in his chest.]

And some things I didn't know I wanted. Shall we head back to the inn?

[bolderfell]

Yeah. This way.

[Still cautious--Darius and his lackeys aren't going to give up on them anytime soon--he leads them back to the inn without incident. Haha, inn-cident. Since they have to keep quiet anyway to listen for pursuit, Therion gets to maintain his thoughtful silence until they arrive.]

Your hand okay?

[tigerpoet]

[Atsushi shows Therion his hand - the knuckles are bruised from all the force he put into that punch.]

Worth it.

[bolderfell]

[A little huff of a laugh.]

If you say so.

[After a beat, he holds his own hand out to Atsushi, palm up.]

Let me take a look.

[tigerpoet]

[Lightly, Atsushi places his hand in Therion's. He will never say no to holding hands, even if he doesn't need to be fussed over.]

[bolderfell]

[It's not holding hands, and it's not fussing.

Therion brings Atsushi's hand up and gently kisses those bruised knuckles.]

[tigerpoet]

Th-Therion?

[Atsushi's poor heart can't take this tenderness. His cheeks go red instantly, and he sort of wishes he had a scarf to hide in too.]

[bolderfell]

[Nope, it's his scarf and he's ducking into it, even as he lowers his hand.]

Pretty standard reward for an act of gallantry, isn't it?

[tigerpoet]

I-I wouldn't call it that? But, um, thank you...?

[bolderfell]

What would you call it?

[tigerpoet]

...I don't know. But calling it gallantry makes it sound too knightly.

[He's nobody as special as that. He's just someone who cares about Therion.]

[bolderfell]

You literally leapt to my rescue.

[tigerpoet]

I, um, can't deny that... Thank you?

[i'm pretty sure he's the one who is trying to thank you, atsushi]

[bolderfell]

[Yeah, that’s the thought written across Therion’s face as he squints at him, once again trying to understand how Atsushi is real, before he sighs and tugs up his scarf again.]

All the storybook courtesy, too… There’s such a thing as too polite for your own good.

[tigerpoet]

It's funny that you're talking about me being too polite when we're discussing me punching someone in the face.

[like, doesn't that exempt him from 'too polite' status]

[bolderfell]

To me. You’re too polite to me. You just thanked me for thanking you, you realize.

[tigerpoet]

It's not hard to be polite to someone you like.

[bolderfell]

… [Speaking quietly into his scarf:] Makes some things harder for me.

[tigerpoet]

Like what?

[This might be a little teasing.]

[bolderfell]

…Like figuring out how much you like me. Or in what way.

[tigerpoet]

I like you very much, and in the kind of way where I want to hold your hand again.

[And do other things, but hand holding is the easiest to request.]
