[action, for Nephry only]

[This morning, there is a suspicious looking Van lurking at the rear of the grocery store. A shady meeting has been arranged, you see, to pass over some goods. He's acting a bit twitchy, though. He'd really rather not be caught in the act. He's got one hand in his pocket, tapping his foot while he looks over the produce, pretending to be interested.]

[/lovebirds]



[Around mid-morning, there will be a sight potentially very disturbing to those familiar with both people involved: Van and Nephry, strolling down the riverbank, looking rather... cozy. He's actually offered her his arm. Which she has taken, without even hesitating to think about it. It isn't some sort of formal escort situation, either - she's leaning in, just enough to be conspicuous.]

I don't see any reason to tell them. [He actually laughs.] Not yet. I'll be your dirty little secret. Doesn't every politician have a few?

[Her return laugh is brighter than any of her friends might have heard in a long time.] Secrets of the state are usually less...incriminating. I do try to be honest. I suppose...just this once isn't going to hurt anyone. [Might help - she knows a person or four who wouldn't be pleased with this new arrangement.]

[He stops and pulls her closer, leaning in in a way that should be menacing, given just who it is doing it; but his expression is soft, and when he speaks, his voice is low and gentle with good humor.] Incriminating? ...That's one word for it. But not here. Not now.

No. [Ordinarily, being this close to the man who nearly succeeded in destroying her world would be something to fear. There is no fear, or even caution, in this smile.] This is...different.

[With a sigh, he wraps both arms around her, tightly. It's perhaps a bit forward of him... but then Van has always been bad about staying in his proper place.] Perhaps 'different' is what we all need in our lives.

[Now being an excellent time for someone to interrupt them and let them know their private conversation is being broadcast. Before they do something awful, like get even cozier and more contemplative.]

(OOC: Joint post! If you have a preference for which one of these unlikely lovebirds replies, please note it in the subject line. Otherwise, there's no telling who you may get. Remember to drive carefully, now, and watch for falling threadjacks.)

[Nephry's nonchalant act is almost flawless; she approaches the back of the grocery with shopping bag in hand, choosing a few things before moving near to the tall man waiting there.

That must be him. Van. ...Tear's brother.

The one who almost ended everything.]

[...has needed to whisper to just one person in a meeting room full of nosy busybody politicians before.]

I understand. ...Why the mystery? If I may.

[As she slips the box into her bag along with her groceries. Her eyes never leave him, one eyebrow raised in a gentle question - far more gentle than she has ever been inclined to be toward him until now.]

[It can be difficult on your heart, having a...bizarre personality for an older brother. It doesn't mean you stop loving him. Nephry feels compelled to explain this to Van, to erase that look from his face so he might replace it with a smile. She just can't find the right words.]

She may well figure you out. [A grin is working its way onto her face; a slight blush is there already.]

[Those voices.]

[He knows those voices.]
distressedude: (Wat.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Dirty little secret-- what.]
distressedude: (You can't really mean that?)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[What.]
distressedude: (I'm two years old what is this)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT!?]
distressedude: (Oh come on now!)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay. Okay. Calm down. Maybe he just misheard them. They don't seem to know they're talking into the journals, right? And even if it's public, it's rude to snoop and--]
distressedude: (Unsure)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Actually, no. No. This is weird. This is weird even if the effects of the experiment is toning down just how weird. But hey, better weird than absolutely and unbelievably horrifying, right?]

[That'll come in a week!]

[But for now, Ion is just... going to pull himself together and manage to steel his expression for a single sentence that in no way reflects his true feelings as to what he has just heard:]
distressedude: (Well that's just not right.)

/AND WE'RE GOOD

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
The journal is recording.
distressedude: (Frustrated.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-15 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [Somehow. Somehow he is still managing that poker face. Now, if this were anyone else talking with Nephry about some sort of dirty little-- HE CAN'T secret, he'd have just shut the journal and let that be the end of it.]

[But this is still Van...]


Just... what is it the two of you were talking about?

Oh.

Van?

[His voice raises a few octaves as he tries -- and is starting to fail -- in his attempt at keeping calm. This didn't make sense.

Nope. He just doesn't know what else to say.

[It just so happens that Tear is also enjoying a walk by the riverbank, her hand entwined with one belonging to a rather handsome young man in stride with her. While she pays no attention to the couple coming their way at first, her attention is seized from the pleasant conversation she had been having, directing instead toward the two other voices.

Two voices she happened to know very well.

... Dear Lorelei no.]

[When Tear stops, staring at the couple nearby, Frey looks to her in concern.

The look on her face.... why was she so upset? Running his thumb over the back of her hand in what he hopes is a soothing manner, he decides to ask.]
Tear? Is everything alright?

[Wait.... isn't that... Van? ....And.....]
