A Price to Pay 8/9
Date: 2012-08-23 05:36 pm (UTC)"I guess I'll have to stop calling you Brynjolf's protege." Vekel said to her one night. Atria laughed sadly, she had no other appropriate response, save to wonder if Bryn had ever thought of her that way. He certainly was taking pains to avoid her now, protege, fellow Nightingale and whatever else they were to each other. He was always busy when she tried to speak to him and eventually, she stopped trying.
"You should talk to Brynjolf." Karliah said as a greeting when Atria came into Nightingale Hall. It had been weeks since they'd chased down Mercer and she'd entered the Twilight Sepulchre, and while she and Karliah were closer than ever, relations between Atria and Bryn had fallen apart.
It had gone from awkward to utter disaster, neither one of them being able to look at the other when they were in the Flagon. She would feel him staring her at her, looking at her with such ferocity that the gaze felt like a scorch, but he never said anything. When she returned his looks, he would find something to busy himself or strike up a conversation. It was maddening, mostly because she didn't know exactly what it was.
She suspected that he knew how she'd felt that night, and every moment since, but couldn't bring himself to break her heart. That was almost too gallant for a man that introduced himself as a thief, and despite the terrible irony, it made her like him more.
"I'd love to talk to him, but he thinks we have nothing to say." Atria explained tersely, her frustration coming out in the sentence. "I'm sorry, this isn't easy." She said to Karliah, who nodded.
"I know, but he's been here a few times, and I think you owe it to him to at least let him know how you feel one way or the other. That way he won' t go on wondering if he just imagined a connection between the two of you that night because he wanted one so badly." Atria felt shock ricocheting through her. Those were her thoughts, her lines, not his. He was the one leaving her out in the cold, letting her off gently. When she didn't answer, Karliah spoke up again.
"Look, I was the odd man out that night, no matter what it felt like, and I still managed to have a good time. Being driven out of your mind with pleasure isn't usually the way of Lady Nocturnal, but I'm glad it was this time. She was right, I do feel more - connected than I have in a while, but you two didn't really need that night to make a bond. You do need to talk to repair it, before Nocturnal hatches another plan for you two to win her devotion."
"Right." Atria said absently, missing the small jest. "I should get to the guild." She walked away, too lost in thought to hear Karliah's goodbye.
A Price to Pay 9/9
Date: 2012-08-23 05:38 pm (UTC)"Hi." Atria said, leaning against a wall. It wasn't the best opening line, but she couldn't think of much else to say.
He looked around to place the voice, and quickly looked away at seeing Atria in the doorway. "Did you need something, lass?" He asked, careful to keep his eyes averted from her.
"We could try it again, but just you and I this time. And we could talk, say things that need to be said." She suggested, drawing closer to him.
"Is that what you want, a second round?"
"No." Atria stopped, composing her thoughts. "When you've lost something precious, you should go back to where you lost it. I don't know how to name what we've lost, but we have and I thought we might just start over. Make things right this time. Tell you that I love you."
She didn't have any more to say, but he still wasn't looking right at her. Instead she watched him go over to the cupboard that stood in the room, his back to her. Insecurity made her mind race, and she thought perhaps she'd heard Karliah wrong, there was no way he cared for her, had wanted more before that night.
But then he turned and she saw the smile on his face, not hidden at all by his hood. "You can't just walk in here and tell a man you love him." He teased, and she raced over, crashing into his chest, making him stagger under the force of her embrace.
"I just did." Atria laughed, the sound of it muted only by the kiss he planted upon her lips.
