You know, you're far more pleasant than other brooding elves I've known.

[It is, on second thought, not the best opening ever.]

By a great deal.

[That probably didn't help.]

you're so reassuring, anders.

[failedfirst]

[She's not really sure how she's supposed to react to that. Raising an eyebrow at him she doesn't quite frown.]

Is that supposed to please me?

He's the greatest at reassurances ever

[justice_is_blond]

Yes?

[She's not glaring. Points for him!]

I'm saying that breathing might not be a bad thing. Relaxing. Joining the group a little more. It's not... I mean, yes, it might hurt, it might go horribly wrong, everything seems to, but at least for a time it would be better, right?

he deserves an award

[failedfirst]

[You know how annoying it is when you have a good point, don't you, Anders? Velanna narrows her eyes a little and looks like she's going to say a variety of different things for a few moments, before sighing, her face relaxing.]

I think I preferred you when you were only making terrible jokes and attempting to compliment my tattoos.

The You Tried star, perhaps?

[justice_is_blond]

Really? I always thought you felt needled on by them.

[Jokes are safe, really. It's easy to return to them rather than talk further about what he's trying to convince himself - that being close to the group won't hurt them.]

I find you missing that commentary inkvigorating.

[failedfirst]

[Aaaand now she regrets saying that. A little. That's definitely not a slight smile on her face.]

Creators preserve me. I take it back.

[justice_is_blond]

[There's a faint smile on his lips too.]

So are you saying you've found me to be universally appealing no matter what I'm saying, then?

[failedfirst]

Len'alas lath'din. [it's an insult, but it's said without her usual venom, and she shakes her head.]

You are far more pleasant than some humans I have known.

[justice_is_blond]

And you are far more pleasant than some elves I've known.

[Human, and not shem. It means a lot.]

In fact, perhaps I shouldn't say this, but I actually don't mind your company.

[failedfirst]

Why, do you think I will be endlessly seeking your attention, now? [Still, it's really nice to hear he doesn't mind her company. She huffs out a breath of air before adding:]

I suppose I don't mind yours, either.

[justice_is_blond]

Why wouldn't you? I'm charming, I'm pretty, and I like your tattoos.

[He's pervasive. Like water seeping into floorboards.]

[failedfirst]

[she scoffs again, shaking her head.]

Pretty is debatable.

[justice_is_blond]

Really now.

[He laces his fingers behind his head and half-leans back.]

You're going to tell me I'm not pretty now?

[failedfirst]

I don't know. I'm a poor judge of what makes a human pretty. [she squints at him for a moment, as if trying to decide if he's actually pretty.]

I suppose you aren't unappealing to look at, but your chin. [She frowns, gesturing at her own face] Humans have so much more hair than elves.

[justice_is_blond]

[She's actually assessing him, and that's pretty amusing.]

If it's any consolation, I shave that hair nearly every morning. It's not my fault it likes to grow back very quickly. My chin is simply determined to be distinguished in its own way.

Also I'm going to note you didn't argue against my claim of being charming.

[failedfirst]

[She scoffs a little, crossing her arms and leaning back.]

You have your moments.

[justice_is_blond]

[He presses a hand to his heart as if he's shocked.]

Is this when I start picking out a good location for the wedding? Because that sounds like a declaration of love, coming from you.

[failedfirst]

Mmm, yes. How about your tomb? I'll push you in, bury you. It will be very romantic.

[who says Velanna has no sense of humor?]

[justice_is_blond]

It will also be warmer than here. Let's. But be helpful and dig it, would you? That's traditional for Anders weddings; the bride digs the groom's grave.

[Not Anders, certainly. And Anders also isn't about to let the opportunity to tease back pass.]

I've always been one for traditions and what's expected of me.

[failedfirst]

[That actually gets a laugh out of her.]

Yes of course, when I think of you tradition is often the first thing that comes to mind.

[justice_is_blond]

Then my job here is done.

[He's gotten Velanna to laugh. But he's not going anywhere.]

I live to be a modern-day example of the past and how we should all bend into tiny preconceived molds for the sake of those who profit from said molds. When people recognize this, I move on.

[failedfirst]

[She lets out a sigh, shaking her head.]

I'm afraid we aren't meant to be. I never excelled at fitting into molds. [As Ilshae often liked to point out.]

[justice_is_blond]

A shame. Our romance would have been quite the passionate affair.

[He and she would never have worked. She and Justice, on the other hand... He doesn't want to think about that. Nor does Justice, because passion requires desire and only demons desire.]

[failedfirst]

[aaand now she's thinking too hard about it, and her ears turn a little red as she glances away]

I don't know about that. The first boy who ever kissed me said I kissed like a dead fish. [Although she suspected he had largely kissed her on a dare. Her clan sucked.]

[justice_is_blond]

That's when you turn around and tell him you knew you smelled something funny, and suggest kissing women more often.

[Her ears are red. He should ease up a little on the flirting, but it's difficult.]

Look. No one's great at kissing their first time. It's a weird process, where the lips go, do you involve tongue, oh, they have teeth too, and so on. That has no reflection on you, and a great deal on him.
