[For Cyd] Let's take the time to walk together while we have the sun.

There honestly wasn't much for George to adjust to these days; it'd only taken a month for him to get used to everything, crazy magic and all, and he had something of a routine down by now. He didn't have rounds, but he still headed to the compound at the same time every morning for breakfast, barring hangovers, ill-advised (but great) one night

I usually eat breakfast in my room. I had a late start today, though, so I knew any hopes of being up early to beat the crowds are dashed. I take my time because of that, even going to get washed up beforehand thinking maybe I'll get the tail end of the line.

I don't even notice I'm about to walk into George until I do it. I was only distracted for a fraction of a second, but it was apparently enough. It's instinct that makes me grab for the shoulder in front of me to keep me steady. I look up to see who it is I just bumped into. I only realize after I end up staring at him for a long moment that I'm doing it.

"N-no," I reply, my cheeks reddening quickly. I still can't believe someone so good looking talks to me on a regular basis. Here I am, always embarrassing myself in front of him, too. "No, it's okay. Hi. Um, I mean, good morning."

I still haven't let go of his shoulder.

"Hi," George repeated, finding himself suddenly tongue-tied. Not like that was so strange an occurrence around someone he liked, but he couldn't figure out why it'd taken him this long to realize it. "How- how's your morning been?"

[codexthepriest]

"Good. Better, now," I reply, giggling a little without meaning too. Only realizing now I still haven't pulled away, I let my hand drop, ducking my head in embarrassment. "Oh, sorry."

[doubleomalley]

"Don't be," George said quickly, which wasn't what he'd wanted to say. He'd just rather have said something rather than whined like he wanted to when she let go of his hand, and of course he said something stupid.

"I mean...you don't have to apologize for anything, Cyd. Not to me."
