Jarek
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here behind the curtain lies a darkness feeding
Pooled inside, in hunger cries, and still it's eating
Everything I had to hide is all on my sleeve
And behind the curtain lies my soul, I’m bleeding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Being with her in the moment was easy. So long as he let himself linger in the moment. His mind dared not venture into the long term. That particular path of thinking felt dangerous. Jarek’s own history and personality traits could get him into trouble. Or worse yet, ruin the budding interaction that was clearly unfolding in front of him. It seemed like he had a real chance of building something meaningful? Jarek had often found himself jumping to conclusions, diving on head first and finding quicksand. Recently; that has changed for the better. But old habits are difficult to break.
The contrast of her absence against his flesh was searing cold. Her nervously shy reaction caused concern to slide up his spine. Had he overstepped things? She had seemed to welcome his touch. Perhaps it was simply getting too cold within the water. The waterline had of course come up much further on her body. He listened to her words now.
He contemplated briefly meeting her gaze gently and holding it while he replied “There is no need to consider that so deeply, just be. In the moment. There is no need to be sorry. This is a rare moment in which we can just…be. If we desire it, there can be other moments too.”
In another time he wouldn’t have thought of using such phrasing. It felt almost like he had been walking in a dream. He hoped that she would feel that he was speaking from his soul. He wasn’t quite sure what exactly it was about Phoebe, but he felt some of his natural walls fall in her presence. Perhaps it was that she wasn’t intent on shattering them, that on some level he felt in tune with her. Destined warrior souls on a similar path in life. One with the Sun and the other with the setting sun. He wouldn’t let this special meeting slip away like grains of sand on the breeze.
As she commented that she should maybe get out of the water, he turned to follow her out of the water. With his telekensis he aimed to help push the water off her coat to help her dry faster for her journey home. “Perhaps, the sun will set soon and dusk will wonder where you are. It‘s no good running covered in water”
OOC: Sorry this feels a little clunky <3 perhaps this is a natural draw to an end of this thread?
