...she got long-winded, I apologize ohshiny_tomatos August 27 2011, 03:53:17 UTC

[when Parker sees this, she freezes up. The kind of freezing where she doesn't know what to say or think or feel, and all she wants to do is stab something. Or someone. Or a couple of someones. With a dull spork. Thaaaat would be fun ( ... )

<3 it's all good enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 00:18:03 UTC

[it takes Bela a moment to realize that someone else is even there, and when she does finally turn to look and sees Parker, she isn't entirely sure what to do. Yes, Parker is her friend, and yes, she's probably just trying to do the right thing, but she doesn't know what to say beyond ... ]

Parker?

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 02:14:21 UTC

[Parker still doesn't know what to say either. Not one bit. She's quiet for awhile and takes a deep breath, her eyes still on the fountain..]

Did...did you know the design of the fountain is based on the Bassin de Latone at the Versailles Palace? It's been here since 1927 and it's one of the largest fountains in the world.

[smiles softly at that, because really -- she'd rather talk about anything else at all]

No, I didn't.

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 04:15:10 UTC

[she nods, her eyes still on the fountain, and her hands slip under her thighs]

It cost $750,000 to make.

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 04:31:58 UTC

That's relatively cheap for a fountain.

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 04:36:32 UTC

[and her lips finally tip up, just a bit, as she glances over]

Except it was over eighty years ago. That was more then.

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 04:39:07 UTC

[chuckles]

That is true.

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 04:41:25 UTC

[smirks, then looks down again, still trying to think of the right thing to say.]

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 04:42:49 UTC

[just sinks in the silence, feeling herself start to unclench, and breathing gets a little easier]

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 04:45:24 UTC

[and after awhile, she gnaws on her lip a bit and opens her mouth. it takes a moment to get the words out.]

Can I tell you something?

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 04:49:36 UTC

Of course.

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 04:56:58 UTC

[it takes a bit longer. a long bit longer. this isn't something that easy at all for her to just say, but...she's been trying to learn to be okay with it and embrace it this week. she knows it's not a bad thing, and she knows it can help make things feel better....and she just wants to help.

She takes a deep breath, keeping her eyes to the ground. Her voice is quiet and tentative.]

I...care. About you.

[she doesn't even know if that's the right way to say it, but they're the right words.]

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 04:59:29 UTC

[glances over at her, before giving her a small smile]

I care about you too.

ohshiny_tomatos August 28 2011, 05:02:24 UTC

[carefully lifts her head and looks over]

I don't want it to hurt. The....things and...I mean. [her eyes close for a moment, she's...really not good at this.]

I don't want you to hurt.

enjoythe_ride August 28 2011, 05:09:01 UTC

[she pauses for a moment as she tries to consider the right way to answer that]

I don't want you to hurt either. And I'll be okay, love. Really.
