"i sort of have," she says. not here, not this time. every once in a while with eva under her arms, sometimes with roy and alex and fernando, just shy of their teens, but the more she thinks, the more she realizes this life has been void of this pleasantry. and following that, as he settles down beside her, she thinks it right that they share another first.
another new beginning.
her nose wrinkles, but she leans against him, turns her head, and gently bites his shoulder, lingering long enough to smile up at him and leave a kiss like a folded love letter behind.
"i never said that. it'd be more sanitary than where we first hooked up, at the very least." she icks at the thought. she wouldn't change that moment, really, but a dinghy bathroom in a shitty dive bar is not the most romantic backdrop for their first union.
"but no, i wanted to give you this. and talk to you. we don't even have to make a decision today. i want to do it right." she inhales. exhales. "this is what i wanted to show you before i was taken."
bones shattering, viscera raining, sweet poison, and silver strings in her arms, a will dwindling and dying and a manifested destiny that could threaten everything.
she winces, reaches to brush her knuckles along his knee just to remind herself that she's here, he's here, they're fine. feeling anchored, she shifts the binder into his lap.
"it's a case for you. to switch with no jail time. you'll - you can even keep delta, but that part's a bit complicated. possible, but complicated." her cheeks smatter rosy and she moves on quickly. "nothing's been done yet. no one knows. this is...it's there if you want it. and i know what it means for you. i know it's a near impossible ask, but i want to give you the choice, because you deserve a choice.
"you deserve your life back, king."
