Butterflies

[Abigail Meredydd]

Abigail sat in the garden, the warm sun shining a pleasant light on her face. Anyone who knew her would have noticed that she had spent a little bit more time than usual to make sure she looked at least pretty-ish, but no-one would know why.

She had invited someone to visit her here, and although she wasn't completely sure whether the girl she had invited would come or not, after all the girl could theoretically suddenly ditch her, she had still taken a seat outside and taken the time to choose a proper outfit for once. It wasn't anything special, just a pair of paints and a shirt, but at least they matched quite well, so that was something.

She fiddled with her hair a bit as she nervously awaited her friend's arrival. She had sent her friend a message a while back, asking whether she would like to come over. So now all she could do was wait. It was finally the day they had agreed upon, so it was very likely her friend would be here soon.

Friends. Were they friends? She didn't really know to be honest. She liked to think that they were, yet she was aware that she wasn't sure whether they really were friends. After all, they had met a few times, but they hadn't ever done any... friend... things? Maybe Abby was giving all of this too much thought.

She was nervous, but also really looking forward to seeing her, [member="Aithne Charr"] , again. Now they would have proper time to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A small smile appeared on Abby's face at the mere thought of spending the afternoon with Aithne; she was really looking forward to it.

It was never silent in the gardens, and Abigail was used to that. Animals making noise, the wind blowing through leaves... all common sounds Abigail heard throughout every day, yet now she truly heard every single one of them. Every new sound would receive Abby's full attention, for every new sound could be the sound announcing Aithne's arrival...

 

[Aithne Charr]

Aithne smiled as she moved through the temple and towards the garden that she had been invited to, the garden where Abigail was waiting. Aithne was surprised to see the girl just sitting there and waiting, leaving a smile on the young woman's face as she started to move around outside of Abigail's field of vision. She would softly walk over the ground and sit down without a word next to Abigail, leaning onto her hand as she looked to the side and focused on Abigail.

The woman was an interesting individual and Aithne would not say anything to her at first, instead just sitting there and letting her react as she would. After all, it was amusing but also somewhat cute how Abigail reacted in a uneased way around Aithne. Not in such a manner that would draw worry, but rather in such a way that caused Aithne to smile.

"So, you invited me and here I am... nice place, though I do admit Ive been here before so Im used to it." She looked at the woman's appearance and a brow raised as she noticed Abigail's look.

Aithne was in her normal clothes, ready for a fight if she needed to or to blend into a crowded street so that she could vanish. A dark cloak, with clothing that matched some smuggler who had long lost their ship and now had to work a bit more in the mercenary realm. Abigail though, she was actually dressed in a far more casual and relaxed manner that was nice to the eye. Aithne smiled and quickly decided to comment on it.

"I like the look, fits you."

Abigail was a bit surprised when she suddenly noticed Aithne approaching her, as she had expected to get a warning through the Force when she would.

"You kept that from me", she whispered, feeling somewhat betrayed by the Force, before she turned to look at the pretty girl who was now already sitting beside her.

"You know. I'm used to saying 'hello there' when we see someone for the first time since quite a while, but okay", she chuckled. "I'm glad you came!" The beautiful smile that appeared on Abby's face would confirm that she was indeed more than glad to see Aithne again.

"It's nice to actually meet you in more normal circumstances for once. No fights, brawls or balls. Just a normal, peaceful day. Or at least, that's a mostly normal day for me."

After receiving the complement, which she had not expected at all, (after all she was wearing casual clothes,) she couldn't help but slightly look away with a smile and a slightly warmer colour on her cheeks, which was barely noticeable. "Thank you", she said softly.

After a good few seconds she turned back towards Aithne, looking at what she had chosen to wear. It really did seem like this girl was always on duty. Always dressed in combat attire of some sort.

"And you... are you always dressed for a fight, or were you just secretly afraid I would lure you into a trap?", she joked as she gently nudged Aithne and looked at her, hoping to see the girl's smile grow a bit.
