Soon would be nice.

[ Feelings are complicated. He doesn't like talking about them. He doesn't even particularly like dealing with them. But he will, for her. Perhaps he really does love her. ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I never really imagined saying this sort of thing to anyone. I certainly never intended on doing it by script. I'd rather see your face, if you don't mind.

FROM: starkov.alina@cdc.org

I know. That... really wasn't how I meant to tell you that....

FROM: starkov.alina@cdc.org

I'm on my way now. I'll be there soon.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I'll be waiting.

[solkoroleva]

[ It's... a little longer than it should take for Alina to get to his room. But she's feeling a little nervous. Saying those words on a device were one thing. In person?

She knocks on the door to his room, though. ]

Sturmhond? [ Just in case his roommates were around. ]

[sturmhond]

[ He comes out, instead of letting her in. Korol comes with him, eager for the exercise.

But before they've even left the vicinity of the room, Nikolai touches her hand. ]

Thank you. This is better.

[solkoroleva]

[ Her heart is beating faster than she expected as she takes his hand when he touches hers. She smiles up at him. ]

I love you. [ She repeats out loud now. ] I should have told you in person first.

But I love you, Nikolai.

[sturmhond]

[ It makes it more real, hearing it in person.

It's strange, but he hadn't thought anyone would tell him this. Not tell him and mean it, anyway.

He doesn't qualify his answer. He already has, he's told her how he feels and why. So he just touches her cheek, now, and nods. ]

I love you, as well. I think, perhaps, we could be happy together. I think I already am.

[solkoroleva]

[ We could be happy together.

She smiles at that. ]

You said that to me once. When you were trying to convince me that we should be together in Ravka. That even if it was just for allegiance, we could still be happy together.

But I love you. I'm not just thinking about an alliance. I love you and I am happy with you already. [ So really, there wasn't anything to hold her back. ]
