Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

How was it your fault?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

A lot of reasons, but the biggest one is I got caught.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

That doesn't make it your fault.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

In the underworld ...

...Either I'm at fault or I'm helpless. These are the cards dealt to me. I can't be helpless, I don't have people who are going to protect me. As the leader of a crime syndicate... Well, Jewel, would you trust a leader promising you safety for your loyalty who was helpless? At best, you follow while worrying over my well-being. At worst...

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You're neither helpless or at fault though... I understand needing to say it's one thing for those reasons, but... You know in private that isn't true, right? You know it's not your fault, right?

[ Sam just gently runs a hand through Jewel's hair, turning back to the funnel cake. ]

You shouldn't let this go to waste since you've allowed yourself to be free of diet restrictions.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I'll take that as a 'no' then.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

... Yeah.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Reaches down to take his hand before getting up, tugging Sam along with him]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ goes along with Jewel, glancing back at the funnel cake left behind just once. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Finds a more secluded bench, sitting down on it and tugging on Sam's hand, encouraging him to do the same]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ sits down on this more secluded bench with Jewel that's lacking delicious funnel cake. ]

Hope you have something else tasty to share.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Pulls him into a proper hug]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

[ man, this is so much more embarrassing than a cookie. Is Jewel trying to tell him that this is what he wants Sam to do when he's upset or not feeling good himself? Give him more hugs?

Sam will sigh softly, though, and rest his forehead on Jewel's shoulder. ]

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Hears the sigh and frowns a bit]

No good...? I guess I'm not a very comforting sort of person, huh?

[Laughs a bit, letting go of Sam and placing his hands back in his lap]

Or maybe you don't want to be comforted? I guess I assumed.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

Did anyone comfort you for what you went through?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Not until recently...the people that would care didn't know. And the people that knew didn't care. Now that I've finally started to tell people though...yes.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

I'm glad.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

But you don't want to be comforted.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

I have never once comforted you. You've comforted me too much. It's not right for you to have to comfort me over something you went through like you did.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

...? It doesn't work like that though? I'm not going to withhold comforting a friend because they haven't comforted me 'enough'.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

You're amazing. Don't forget that. You're a very comforting person.

But I didn't share this with you to be comforted. It feels wrong to let you.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

What's wrong about it? If I want to support you...isn't that fine?

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[vapour]

... I just want to enjoy our time together while we have it, not make you worry.

Re: D.25? (shore leave) { Night of Reminisce: Jewel

[gottalearntoplayitright]

....all right. If that's what you want then.
