Lace

“So then..."

Her tone dipped into a playful lilt

"What brings you stumbling into my little stage tonight?”

“A familiar face, or a new one either suits me fine. I was beginning to think this dreary kingdom had forgotten how to entertain me.”

She spun her needle lazily, the point never quite still, every movement deliberate as a dancer’s step.

The silence of the caverns fractured with a sharp twang as a silver thread snapped taut, then recoiled with a musical hum.

Lace swung down from above, landing with the easy flourish of a performer taking the stage.

“Ah… how lovely"

"What's a lesbian without their trauma?

Don't flirt with me OOC

Ya girl was already scooped up, I'm the fish in the ocean.

Like an astronaut

What you know about that?

About rolling down in the deep

"It's weird going from a helicopter parent to a helicopter hornet."

"I have succeeded in once more defying my mother! I didn't go to sleep at bed time and stayed up all night!"

"My rebellion! Ahahaha"

"Sigh. I miss my mom Tails. I miss her a lot. I'll be back."

"As you wish. But think about what I have said"

"You're a very beautiful woman Hornet. Which I'm unsure if you have heard enough, but you need to hear it"

"You genuinely left me stunned and speechless. ME. SPEECHLESS. You understand that?!"

"Why are you apologizing? I was the one who teased you and went too far"

"I'm the one who's sorry! I will fight you over this! Don't be sorry!"

"Please do. I would Appreciate it"

"..."

[The lace is stunned and flabbergasted by this. What even is this? She doesn't know. Not at at. But she is fascinated.]

"So, about that whole being adorable thing."

"How does... Gorgeous sound instead?"

"I'm... Not sure how else to apologize and make up for my mistakes."

"Yes indeed. I like being treated as small, perhaps it's my conditioning, but it's there"

"I mean probably. And mother isn't really around to restore my silk... But! Perhaps I teased too much! And I would like to make up for it!"

"I know that's my thing. I'm projecting, you know? But I'm glad you like it"

"Why not? It would be helpful would it not?"

"What if I gave you like... I dunno some of my silk? A silk heart or something"

"I see. So you like being called little. That's very very interesting"

"Wait no hold on I was kidding!"

"It might slip out every once in a while, but I'll try to keep up with calling you Hornet"

"Overdoes on me instead!"

"Yes but where's the fun in that Hornet? Besides even you must admit, little spider is so cute isn't it?"

Alright I've slimmed down my accounts

FUCK I FORGOT FLUIXON

Oasis

It's so satisfying, but my friend, I be blasting these replies out while I'm at work 😭

Oasis

We have cursed ourselves and must live with our decisions. May we one day be able to truly rest, once we enter the coffin eternally

"Alright we can just kiss or something silly like that instead, whichever works for you, truly I'm open for it"

"Well, get used to it I suppose. Since I know you prefer it. Feels weird to say though"

"Like learning a new language"
