'We need to talk...' is never a good sign (for russianclaw)

[prettyakwrd]

Rabastan was pacing back and forth in the library, right near their usual meeting spot. He had been going over and over their quick exchange about this talk they needed to have. All he could think is that the thought of being with him made her 'sick'. That's what she had basically told him, right?

You make her sick. You make her sick.He

Irina met Rabastan in their usual meeting place, but she knew immediately she couldn't have the conversation she needed to have in the library, where others could hear. She smiled tightly at Rabastan and said, "We can go for walk? Outside?" She was so anxious, she couldn't stand to stay inside a moment longer.

When he saw her, it felt like someone had opened up his mouth and dropped a rock through to his stomach. He had been gaining a bit of confidence leading up to this moment, but now that he was seeing her again, and hearing her voice, he wasn't sure he'd be able to get through this with even a shred of dignity.

Without a word, he nodded and followed her lead.

Irina led him out of the castle, out through the grounds to beyond where the students gathered on the sunny but crisp Saturday. She chewed her lip viciously the entire time, then, when they had reached an area unseen by anyone else, she turned to Rabastan and searched his face.

"I need to ask you something."

He took his time to respond, instead enjoying the way the light bounced off of her features and how he could see her breath escape everytime she breathed out. It curled around her like smoke and quickly disappeared. Rabastan wanted to enjoy these last few moments with his first girlfriend, while he could. Then, smiling sadly, he went for it, "All right. What is it?"
