alas_alasEcho sits curled up in a chair in the library, working her way slowly through a book. In another chair, a little elf girl and a platypus are curled up, asleep.
Echo looks up and smiles at the two of them, then goes back to her book.

Date: 2005-02-09 02:02 am (UTC)I love you too. How has your day been?
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:10 am (UTC)Oh, a bit of this and a bit of that. Still cooking for the bar. Spent some time shopping today and brought Fenrir to see Father. Brother attempted to attack David in his sleep, which isn't surprising, considering. Then there was the sale down at the corner shop on used electronics, where I picked up this delightful little item which should tell me when a boat is about to go into water too shallow to hold it. Very interesting and at a good price as well. Then I played with Ember, fell asleep before the fire...and came to see you.

Date: 2005-02-09 02:12 am (UTC)"I didn't know you had a boat, Yamino."
She looks over at Ember and Maeve again.
"Yeah, she came in here and curled up in the chair and fell asleep, and Maeve soon joined her. They're so cute."
She smiles.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:21 am (UTC)No, I don't have a boat. Why would you think that?
Then his gaze turns to the chair.
Yes, they are rather cute. And Maeve is rather intelligent, actually.
Yamino looks to Echo, yellow eyes a little sad.
I hope we find her parents though. Being without one's parents is rather painful.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:27 am (UTC)"Because... oh, never mind."
She reaches up from her book and pets him running her fingers down his scales.
"I hope so too."
Her fingers curl around him slightly as she looks at his sad yellow eyes.
I'm sorry.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:39 am (UTC)It's not your fault. Everyone has sadness in their past. It's not as if you get upset whenever I mention acoustic difficulties, Echo.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:43 am (UTC)"I guess we both do. The dark really is a miserable place."
She smiles sadly, her eyes moving back to watch the sleeping child.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:45 am (UTC)"She's not in the dark. She's here. She has a room all her own, people and animals to play with, and I think if she had any more food, she'd burst."
Yamino smiles sadly and looks at the child before smiling up to Echo.
"I love you."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:51 am (UTC)"I love you too. So much."
She leans over and gives him a kiss on the lips before sitting back up. She looks back at Ember, her eyes watching a tad sadly.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 02:57 am (UTC)"So what are you reading, Echo-chan?"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 03:02 am (UTC)"It's a book of mythology. It's so weird, reading about what happened to me."
She looks back at him, a scared look on her face.
"Yamino... it says that I eventual fade away into nothing. I... I don't want that to happen!"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 03:04 am (UTC)"But you won't...because you're here. And you've been freed of your curse, Echo-chan. The story doens't work anymore because that can't happen."
His eyes harden, just a little...but not at her.
"I wouldn't let it."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 03:06 am (UTC)"Yamino... are you sure? Cause I don't want to leave you. Ever!"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 04:57 am (UTC)"Yes, I am very sure, Echo-chan."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 09:25 pm (UTC)I love you.

Date: 2005-02-09 09:50 pm (UTC)"Okay."
She looks up at him, a little shyly.
"You don't think... that I'm going to leave you, do you?"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 10:39 pm (UTC)"Echo-chan? Why would you ever think a thing like that? I've never even...it didn't...I hadn't even thought of something like that."
And then fear strikes.
"You're not, are you? You...you didn't bring this up because I'm...unfit for you, is that it? I'm so sorry, Echo-chan, I'll try harder. Please don't go. Give me another chance!"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 10:41 pm (UTC)"No! No, I'm not going to leave you! I won't! Ever!"
She clings to him, burying her face in his shoulder.
"Never..."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-09 10:57 pm (UTC)I'm sorry, Echo. I didn't mean to make you cry. I didn't mean to upset you but you said that and I got so scared.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-10 12:13 am (UTC)It's okay. Loki has said some things to me, so I was all worried, and no, I'll never leave you, I love you too much to leave you.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 04:56 am (UTC)"What...what did Father say to you, Echo-chan?"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:00 am (UTC)"He said... he wanted to make sure I was going to be faithful, since I'm a nymph, and nymphs aren't well known for, well, staying with one person."
She looks down at her hands, fiddling with them.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:02 am (UTC)He blinks at that thought. Where had THAT come from? When had he ever...
Echo. It all came down to Echo.
He looks at her.
"Echo-chan? I hope you aren't insulted by what Father said. I'm sure he was just...attempting to look out for me. I hope you didn't think I thought such things of you. Did you?"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:08 am (UTC)"It hurt a little, him thinking that I might leave you, but I told him how I felt, and he believed me, so everything is okay."
She hugs him tightly.
"I... didn't know what to think. I'm sorry."

Date: 2005-02-18 05:19 am (UTC)"You don't have to. It's okay. I know that you love me, and I love you, and I never plan on leaving you, and you never plan on leaving me."
She smiles brightly at him.
"So everything is okay."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:22 am (UTC)"Yes, Echo-chan. I love you and you love me and that is all that is important, I suppose. Though I am sorry that he said such things. So very sorry. But it is...as you say, Echo-chan. It is okay."
He kisses her on the cheek.

no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:32 am (UTC)"Just a kiss on cheek?"
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:44 am (UTC)"I love you, Echo-chan. I love you as I love cooking. You are the very breath in my body, the heart in my chest, and the scales of my skin."
He smiles, a bit sheepish.
"I don't have anymore, I'm afraid. It took me all last night to come up with those."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 05:51 am (UTC)"I love you too, Yamino."

Date: 2005-02-18 06:01 am (UTC)"I'm afraid I'm not a poet."
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 06:02 am (UTC)"It's okay. I didn't fall in love with a poet. I fell in love with you, for the way you are."
She places a kiss on the tip of his nose.
no subject
Date: 2005-02-18 06:42 am (UTC)"For which I can never thank you enough, my Echo-chan. For I fell in love with you without realizing that is what I was doing and I should have been horribly crushed had you not."
