she could love him more than the world, but she doesn't. perhaps if he didn't have his attentions divided, if he didn't already have someone who loves him who has already promised him a devoted future without end, he'd pursue that thought more. he'd ask what it means to want to love each other more than the world, even if it means damnation. even if it means going against the redemption they've arrived here for.
she tempts him to be selfish and he is just barely pulling himself back from the ledge.
the question diverts his thoughts and he ends up laughing about it. he pulls her back in closer ]
Adolphe also told me that we should be kept a secret, and to keep acting as normal. Isn't this normal?
[ but he will be reasonable, ] I'm afraid I can't spare any more kisses for you, Ellie... but he does know I love you. I think his rules are just that I can't say as much to him.
If he asks more of me, I'll do as he asks... [ because yves is loving and devoted and so terribly loyal, and adolphe has locked him in entirely ] but I think he understands the type of person I am, too.
[ but who knows! they haven't been on mingles together much because adolphe hates trial and execution. ]
[ could is damning enough for elysia. could is something that is able to turn into would, and it's a little frightening to think about, but she won't because yves has a future with someone who can promise him one. it's more than enough to keep her from continuing the thought because elysia, for all her thousands of years of waiting with her memories, is someone whose future has been lost long ago.
and no one has ever asked her to consider choosing a future. what would it mean to choose a future that meant she'd choose everything she hasn't before?
she is content with her present, and everything yves says does more to settle things for her. ]
His shyness is going to make things more difficult for him.
[ they are naturally affectionate, but if that's the decision, she isn't going to argue it. adolphe does his best to stay away from groups of people anyway, so it might end up being fine. ]
It's okay. We had that one night. I don't need more.
[ it's a ridiculous thing to say with her arms still around him, but need and want are different things. ]
I wonder if he was thinking of you when he was asking me all these questions a while ago. Do you know he asked me what I'd do if the person I loved most asked me to stop loving everyone else?

Adolphe told me he's the type to get jealous. Should I.....
[ she loosens her hold on him a fraction. ]
I'm so used to touching you.
