anOTP: Melisande/Tess

[scionofkushiel]

Melisande is humming to herself as she strolls through the gardens today, dressed warmly against the cold and strolling through at a rather more brisk pace than one usual for a walk through gardens. However, her eyes catch everything, and they are constantly moving, taking everything in, and sometimes brushing her fingers through a coating of frost

Tess likes gardens in winter mostly because they are usually empty, and so when she sees Melisande she hesitates, deer-like, as if she might turn and flee. Instead she bobs a quick curtsy and says, "Good day," barely loud enough to hear.

Melisande blinks and looks up as if startled, though she's quite attuned to the presence of people. "Oh! Hello there. I didn't hear you."

Tess's smile is a nervous flicker, and she doesn't meet Melisande's eyes. "Most people don't come out here in winter," she says, as if it were some sort of explanation.

Typist: I am so sorry about the lateness here -- between performances and exams and things I've scarcely had time to breathe, and I'm only going to be on-and-off existing until after New Year's, I'm afraid, but! I'm still alive and still interested in playing this out if you are.
