No One Mourns

"When it feels right it feels... really right, but I'm not exactly fit for polite company if I get too deep.

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:17 pm

"Hence the wolves and twigs in your hair."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:10 pm

"Not your scene, I know." She chuckles.

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:22 pm

"Lucky for you that you clean up quite nicely."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 6:04 pm

"Aye, and housebroken besides!"

"Still, seems like we both found some ways to get lost. Nice sometimes, not always."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:22 pm

"Is that how this works? Nice sometimes but not always?" She realizes that probably sounds vaguely critical or hurt the way it came out. "I just mean... with your kennel of hounds and me and... all that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:36 pm

"Well if you're losing yourself all the time you might not make it back, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 02, 2023 10:57 pm

"Sure but... okay you know what, I'm just not going to think about this for now. We're just having fun." she decides.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:00 am

"...you've got a few romantic notions about getting lost in something, don't you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:23 am

"Or maybe I just have an addictive personality." Truthfully, she's at a loss as to how to navigate a regular relationship, much less one that looks less like a single line and more like some kind of drunken spiderweb.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:26 am

"What I was talking about generally... isn't a side of me that you've enjoyed? Or really shown an interest in."

"Unless that isn't really what we're talking about?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:30 am

"No, you're right, it's not really something I... get? But my track-record on regular relationships isn't exactly stellar and this is getting complicated." she admits.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 12:55 am

"So let's uncomplicate it."

"Are you going to break into hives if I call you my girlfriend?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 1:50 am

"That's uncomplicating it?" she groans. "Okay, alright, yes that's probably a perfectly fine label to put on things."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 2:04 am

"It's a lot less complicated than that dance you were doing. A little bit of certainty, aye? I like you, and not just in my trousers."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 2:43 am

"Your loss, I'm quite good at dancing." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 2:46 am

"Save it for your girlfriend," she smirks back.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 4:23 am

"Who did pretty alright at the club herself, from what I remember."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 2:31 pm

"A decade of dance classes does things to you, I hear tell."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:08 pm

"Really now? What other refined skills are you hiding underneath that wolf pelt?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 2:40 pm

"Just kind of... I don't know, had a knack for rhythm since I was little. I guess it makes sense in hindsight."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:07 pm

Miriam nods, then blinks in confusion. "Wait, it does? How so?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:26 pm

"Lots of things have like a natural rhythm, aye? A point where you get in a groove and everything just... flows? Like music, or dancing, or..."

Her cheeks flush before she can bring herself to say it.

"Well, violence."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 3:35 pm

"Or maybe it's less hindsight and more the fact that you learned a sense of rhythm. You don't have to be predisposed for violence since childhood."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 4:02 pm

"I don't think I was, but it all kind of rhymes, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 5:46 pm

"As much as I'm loathe to admit, it kind of does."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 6:45 pm

"I've already found better things to hit, anyway." She chuckles.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 7:32 pm

"Better things?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 7:54 pm

"Sandbags, drums, I'm nearly harmless."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:06 pm

"I think the preferred term is 'domesticated'." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:12 pm

"Oh, you'll need to get me a collar if we're doing that."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:42 pm

"Careful. I might."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:13 pm

"If it's going to be Will, I think you'd need a frank discussion with him as to why."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:26 pm

"I think they can figure that out. Unless you don't want them involved?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:34 pm

"Just seems to be better to be up front, aye?"

"Though I'll grant that's the easiest way to find one that suits... your tastes."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 11:00 pm

"Oh yes because it's rare to find collars that appeal to people who like dark colors and a gothic aesthetic. Practically non-existent those." she smirks. "But it's hard to find anything that competes with the quality of a Stanton original."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:20 pm

"It's alright. I won't tell anyone you were contemplating buying off the rack," she smirks.

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:24 pm

"You keep this up and I'll find some old rope and a stake in the yard to tie it to."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 8:08 pm

"It's not my fault you're getting a reputation for being a bit posh. Honestly, I thought you were fostering that."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 8:33 pm

"Oh I am. You're just being cheeky." she smirks, though she doesn't really mind.
