"SORRY."

[pravdadomina]

There was something a bit distressing in receiving a phone call consisting of your significant other practically on the verse of tears (though Veronika figured it'd be best to claim Dewi was on the verge rather than already sobbing by the time she picked up, for his dignity's sake). Of course, that concern had been muffled by the sudden burst of confusion that had engulfed her the moment Dewi began rambling about "spiritual energy" and "Buddhist monks" before telling her to come over

"D-dearest?" The Welshman pried the door open, nothing but his fingers showing as they curled around the wooden frame. "P-please, do come in-"

He'd dreaded this moment, the one where he would stand before her, humiliated by his own enlightened-drunk actions. When she stepped inside, he closed the door behind her, a hat still firmly over, past his eyebrows so not a hair (or lack there of) could escape. "Please, promise you won't laugh-!"

And after a huge breath, he removed the hat.

"Darling, why would I ever laugh at-"

Her eyes widened slightly behind the lenses of her glasses. A small noise, perhaps something akin to a squeak, left the woman's lips before she dug her teeth into her bottom lip in order to keep herself from making any other noises. Were she anyone else (read: were she not skilled at the practice of keeping her composure and playing an often leather clad actress), Veronika knew she would have burst into unbecoming, and no doubt rude, laughter at the sight of her-

Of her now bald boyfriend, really.

"Dewi, love, what in the world did you do to yourself-?" Kurva, she could feel the corners of her lips twitch upwards as she spoke, but she continued to force herself to remain as cool as possible.

If only because the despondent look on Dewi's face was as pitiful as it was humorous.

You are so mean.

He was an actor, he knew how to compose himself and take on any emotion in a split second and make it believable. He was a teacher, also, so he knew how to project it on his students and teach them to make it believable. Veronika's pity was almost difficult to believe from behind her twitching lips, but Dewi could pretend that he didn't notice.

"I... I don't know what happened to me last week! I went crazy, and- I thought I had taken on a whole different perspective on life, and then... suddenly, I came to my senses, and then- th-this! What do I do?!"
