[ it's funny how she's spent thousand years waiting in her elysian realm for proof of her existence, and while the minute doesn't feel quite that long, it doesn't feel quite as short as it should. she does smile at how fast he runs.
she opens her eyes, and her heart melts. she reaches for the bouquet in one hand and for his hand with her other. fondness and love radiates from every move and gesture from her. ]
Your love is as resplendent as the flowers we both cherish. How could I refuse when it's what I want most from you? You only have to let me love you back.
[ he takes her hand and he smiles down at her so adoringly, interlacing their fingers without missing a beat ]
I'll accept all your love, for as long as I get to be lucky enough to receive it.
[ they're together for one night, but the next week will probably just be dancing around more of the same. at least for tonight, it can feel as vivid and real as they want it to. ]
But you're right, I think we should be in time for them. Shall we?
[ she cradles the bouquet of flowers in her arm like it's the most delicate of crystals, precious and rare and coveted.
she tugs ever so gently on his hand, reveling in the warmth shared between their hands, as if they won't keep holding hands whenever they want in the following days. it's tonight when everything matters the most. ]
Mm-hmm. It's too bad the champagne there is still cursed.
You know, there's some urge I have to give other people a shot...
[ a little teasingly. he does think richie and shadowheart are so cute even if they're not confirmed,, but he just drops a kiss to elysia's hair affectionately ]
But I'm afraid I'd be lying. To me, there's no one lovelier in the world than you.
[ there are so many cute couples out there, all she'd be happy to talk about, but if she's going to be selfish, if she's going to so completely herself, there's no other truth than the two of them. ]
And I'd be lying if I didn't want to be the loveliest person in your eyes.
[ she would never mind him falling in love with others and having other people in his heart, but if she's allowed any semblance of greed... her ego has never been unhealthy. ]

That's alright. I want to have my full wits about me tonight.
[ he's such a lightweight ]
We can share a drink anytime.
no subject
she knew he was a lightweight from the party all those weeks ago, but for champagne.... ]
Somehow, that makes you impossibly cuter. Okay.
[ she reaches up to comb her fingers through his bangs. ]

To hear that from the cutest girl in the world does make me happy.

Hmm... well, there's no denying we're the cutest couple tonight, is there?

Would you like me to say it again then? To praise your beauty and kindness a million times over?
For you, anything.
no subject
I'd be silly to refuse, wouldn't I?
[ this bitch would never refuse a compliment. ]
no subject
I do love your confidence, Ellie.
[ and he'll lean down to steal a kiss, because why wouldn't he ]
You have a heart so radiant, I think I've loved you since the day we met.
no subject
The first day? How could I ever be so lucky? I don't think I did anything to stand out.
[ because she does do some theatrics on purpose. (most of them.) ]
