[Shinceon, you can do whatever you want with Olivia's power even if it doesn't obey the rules of physics. This is a fantasy roleplay so actual science doesn't have to apply. XD]
"Thank you," Gavotte said softly as he continued to stare at the dancing flames. He snapped out of it when something completely unexpected happened. Did Jen really just kiss him on the cheek, or did he imagine it? A ridiculous blush was creeping up his neck, and he had to look away. Even calm, collected Gavotte got awkward sometimes. "Uhh..." he didn't know how to react to that, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Fortunately, she changed the subject and talked about the revolution.
"I'm sure it will work," Gavotte spoke with conviction. "Not many people truly support Alastair, deep down. They obey him because they are afraid. He does not love the country, and the country does not love him. We can use that against him."
Cadence was about to lash out, but she held herself back. Something had changed in Guinevere, like she had just been possessed and come back into her own rightful mind. It reminded Cadence of a twisted version of Tacet's photosynthesis trance. She wasn't in control of her own actions, wasn't she?
"You're coming with me," she said harshly. But really, she needed to get Gwen away from the others. Cadence picked up her passed out daughter and walked upstairs.
Cyprian nodded. "I'll pick up a weapon back home," he said. It was weird to say 'home' again. He would be returning to his father, who would most likely beat him up again. But Cyprian could take it. He had to take one for the team. This time, he would be enduring his father's cruelty for the sake of Hesenia.
He felt like a hero.
Jaai's hands were around his own, and then she threw her arms around his neck. Cyprian bent down slightly. Was she going to tell him a secret or something? She was standing on her tiptoes, but she still couldn't reach him. And then she told him to kiss her. Cyprian was very confused for a second. Kiss her? He didn't know how to kiss girls! But hey, there was a first time for everything. And he wasn't about to let this chance slip away.
"Yes, your majesty," he chuckled as he leaned down. Cyprian gave her an innocent little kiss on the corner of the mouth before standing back up.
Cilan got to his feet, wiping off the disgusting slush from his clothes. They were now stained, and no longer white. It was fine, though. They always ended up perfectly clean every time he revived.
"Let's see what the others are up to," he suggested.
