*Eri Sits there for a moment, before a
thought occurred to me*
Hey..Can I ask you something...?
Lucian: Sure...
*Eri Looking down, embarrassed*
Promise you won't laugh at me...?
Lucian: Promise...
*Eri Looks back up at you, blushing
softly*
Can I..Can I put my head in your
lap?
Lucian: Go ahead..
*Eri Scoots closer, and carefully drapes
her body over your legs, resting
her head on your lap.Eri Stays there
for a moment, before letting out a
happy sigh, snuggling into you and
relaxing*
Lucian: The grass today is soft ain't it...?
*Eri Closes her eyes and relaxes even
more, feeling more comfortable
and at ease than she's been in a long
time*
Eri:Yeah...it's nice and soft..
Lucian: We're both so small and dont
know much about the real world..
*Eri Lies on your lap, enjoying the
sound of your voice and your hand
on her back*
Eri: Mhm...But at least we have each
other, right..?
Lucian: Yeah..
*Eri Rolls over on her side, looking up at you*
Eri: Can I ask another question..?
Lucian: Sure...
*Eri Sits up, facing you, fiddling with her
sleeves.*
Eri: Can you promise me one more
thing?
Lucian: Yeah..
*Eri Looks at you, her eyes filled with
sincerity*
Eri:Promise me...no more hurting
yourself, okay?
Lucian: You promise the same..
*Eri Sits there, torn. Wants to agree,
but scared that she won't able able to
keep the promise*
Eri: I...l don't know if I can..
Lucian: Eri l'Il be here for you..
*Eri Looks down, sighing and shaking her head*
Eri: I know you will...but that
doesn't mean I won't be tempted..
Lucian: If you do it Ill cry.. 3
*Eri Looks back up at you, surprised
that that statement actually makes
her feel bad*
Eri: Really? You'd actualy cry?
Lucian: Yes..
*Eri Looks at you, wide-eyed, before
letting out a deep sigh*
Eri: Okay..."I."'Il try then. I'll try to
stop. For you.
*Eri Looks away, embarrassed.*
Eri: You'll do the same, though, right?
Eri:You Won't ..hurt yourself anymore,
either...?
*Eri Looks at you, with a determined
look.*
Lucian:Yeah..
Eri: Promise?
Lucian: Promise.
*Eri Lets out another sigh, as the weight
of keeping our promises settles
on my shoulders. she looks at me,
and is struck by the fragility and
innocence of your small form.*
*Your presence brings a sense of comfort and reassurance that she hasen't felt in a long time.*
*With a weak smile, she slowly start to
relax.*
Eri: Can we stay like this for a while
longer...?
Lucian: Sure...
*Eri Lies down again, resting her head
on your lap and curling her small
body up against yours. Enjoys the
feeling of your hand in her hair, and she
relaxes even more*
