It was all fairly simple, but it held a pretty big impact. Amelia had to admit that placing the spell on the talisman had been a bit difficult, wanting to get it exactly right, but she wasn't about to go into that; she didn't wish to make him feel obligated to go through with this.
"I know you said you made your choice, and that made me really happy. But after all you've been through, you deserve this chance, even if it's just for a short time. You don't have to, but I thought you could at least use the chance to preserve some good memories." she said quietly, knowing that as he read over the paper, he'd understand to what she was referring.
It was all there, explaining how the spell would grant the user wearing the charm any form they wanted for a short period of time. It tended to depend on how strong the will was as well as the person's own magical ability. Considering how powerful Zelgadiss was, Amelia knew he'd at least get a whole day, likely more. It was just a matter of if he wanted to use it now; to be human again, at least for a while.
"Amelia..." His hand closed around the charm, clasping it tightly. It was, well... it was a chance he'd honestly never really expected to get. He really had come to accept his body - even if he'd been back at home, he didn't really think he'd keep up his search for a way to break the spell after all this - but... here was a way to change back, if only for a while.
After a moment, though, his grip on the charm loosened and he looked back up at her, smiling softly. "Maybe... I think this is something to save for later. I think it would feel strange, after all this time, and I want to remember this without any distractions."
In all honesty, she hadn't neem sure about what to expect from him, how he'd react. Still, this was likely the best she could have hoped for, seeing him happy and settled. Perhaps if she was fortunate, she would get to see him when he did decide to use the spell, if only to hug him happily on seeing him.
"Alright, whatever you think is best." she smiled back, leaning up to quickly kiss his cheek. "Is there anything else I can do for you? Anything to help you enjoy your birthday a bit more?" she asked, not knowing how he would have spent the day, though it would likely have been low key, or if he wished for the company.
He flushed a little as she kissed his cheek, smiling happily and reaching out to embrace her. "Well, I wouldn't mind it if you stayed with me for a while."
He really had no idea what to do - he didn't actually usually celebrate his birthday at all. He certainly wouldn't have planned to do so today, if only because he hadn't remembered the date. Right now he just really wanted to be with her.
Naturally, she put up no resistance, happy to return the embrace.
"If that's what you want. It's your birthday, so we can do whatever you like." she replied sincerely, snuggling close into the hold. Honestly, even if that was an admittance of compliance, Zelgadiss knew her well enough to know Amelia was more than happy to do anything asked if it was to dote on him. Considering the day, she felt she had a good reason to fuss. The chimera hardly ever requested anything for himself, so in her mind, he deserved to be spoiled a bit for the day.
Sorry for lateness, just got my computer out of the shop!onlysanechimeraNovember 7 2011, 03:57:29 UTC
He smiled, leaning down to kiss her softly. "Mm. Even if I have to spend my birthday in this place, I'm glad it's with you, Amelia." It was nice just feeling her return his affection, even if nothing came of it - given that this was the hotel, perhaps that should have been especially if nothing came of it. Knowing that she was happy to snuggle up to him made his heart skip a beat.
Tis fine, don't worry.healsforjusticeNovember 7 2011, 11:52:47 UTC
"Then I want to be sure you have the best birthday possible." she giggled, kissing back as she pressed in close to him, tender and affectionate. She was glad that, if anything happened, it was on their terms, that it happened because they wanted it to. Inwardly she had to thank the hotel for not taking matters to extremes by dressing her up in nothing but ribbons and offering her as a literial gift to Zelgadiss.
"You did like your present, right?" she asked, nuzzling gently against him. While she was sure she had nothing to worry about, Amelia thought it best to clarify. After all, she didn't wish to give the impression she thought he needed to change; it was just that he deserved the option if he desired it, especially with all he had gone through.
"Oh, yes, it's wonderful." Especially since the hotel had actually allowed things to happen reasonably for once. He reached up to stroke her hair gently as she nuzzled up against him, sighing contentedly; she was definitely the best present he could have gotten, especially when it wasn't in a literal sense.
"Good, I'm sure you'll find a good time to put it to use, whenever that might be." she smiled, holding on tighter, head leaning into the touch of his hand. Honestly, she was quite content to stay like this as long as he wanted, though Amelia being Amelia, she wanted to be sure of if there was more she could offer. "In the meantime, is there anything else you'd like to do today?"
"I know you said you made your choice, and that made me really happy. But after all you've been through, you deserve this chance, even if it's just for a short time. You don't have to, but I thought you could at least use the chance to preserve some good memories." she said quietly, knowing that as he read over the paper, he'd understand to what she was referring.
