week three | mingle

[marriagebroker]

No outright changes this week either. Week three rolls around, braced for impact as ever. The estate is still intact, the contestants are still motivated, things are looking good.

Well, aside from the fact you all had a blackout this weekend. That wasn't so good.

Either way, when Monday rolls around, Wei Wuxian seems to be in a cheery mood as he greets everyone Monday morning.

"Everyone, come here, come here. I have an announcement!"

Better go see what that's about, huh?

Was it something we said? [Sniffles, though she is smiling a little.]

[nrangel]

[ She's using that hand to tug Furina closer to her now. Ahhh, the warm fuzzies. Wow when was the last time she felt warm and fuzzy like this inside? Has it ever even been this strong? ]

Definitely.

[ And while she's not letting go of that hand, she is wrapping her other arm around Furina so she can press the side of her face against Furina's own. ]

[enscene]

[She's also getting a bit more emotional--and definitely hotter, flushed against Serpilia's cheek--the way emotions flow like water unimpeded with just a little bit of inhibition control lost. And Furina, of course, has always been a fairly emotional person from the very start.]

I-it's not exactly an easy subject to broach, you know, especially when... [Well, there are a lot of "whens," really.]

[nrangel]

[ You know something incredible about hugging a girl about your own height? Serpilia doesn't have to worry about her halo bonking Furina at all as she rests against her. It really is nice to stand here holding her like this.

Serpilia's laugh is a lot lighter than she expected it to be talking about this subject, but she hadn't ever expected to talk about it in this particular way. ]

It was hard, right? For a lot of reasons.

[ Who was to say that Serpilia would be open to it, even if the two of them had agreed to it before? She was, obviously, but until they spoke to her there was no way of knowing. And then they were a perfect match while she was the outlier, though Serpilia herself didn't put much stock into that notion. They also had still only known each other for a short period of time, and that was probably something they needed to sit down and talk about too, since what happened after the show would be...

Would be...

Something they could deal with later. She just wants to enjoy this right now, no future complications need be considered at least for a little while. ]

[You know what else is incredible about that? Furina's ahoge probably threads through the halo. She's definitely overemotional and a little overstimulated, but there's clearly a good amount of thought that's gone into this, pre-drunken impulsivity and crazy sauna smuggling plan.]

You deserve to feel wanted and to not be alone. [Who can say that with any more certainty than Furina can, after all? She knows the pitting ache of both.] But when it comes to broaching such complicated things...

Obviously, this isn't something I've experienced before, exactly. [Extra adverbs Furina means extra flustered Furina.] I wanted you to feel appreciated, not insulted.

[nrangel]

[ It's a fair concern to have. A lot of people never learned to share well, and while Serpilia didn't grow up having to share much herself, in this way...

This seems good actually. There are times when Serpilia can be wildly social and friendly and chatty, and times where she can slip away into hiding for days on end. An ambivert to an extreme that might not be entirely fair to a partner, but to two partners...

Again, bridges to cross later. For now on this show she's just going to enjoy herself and what she has, and enjoying herself means leaning a little weight onto Furina. ]

Being wanted by two beautiful women at once? I feel like that's just extra complimentary.
