also shrike made some... well, the shape leaves something to be desired but the red velvet macarons taste right and there's a dish of chocolate-dipped cherries and strawberries also. ]

...Good. I'm really glad.

I hope Vergil does, too.

[selfpreservationist]

... he's certainly... changed my mind on a number of things.

Anyway, you know how shy he can be. So I'd like to just... keep this a secret, between the three of us, for now. Cosmo also knows, though.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm, of course. That's fine.

[wraps his arm around her shoulders loosely, leaning down and pressing his face to her hair for a moment]

[rollplayinghouse]

[relaxes, leaning against him]

I love you.

[selfpreservationist]

I love you, too.

[rollplayinghouse]

You're the only one it's this easy for me to say that to, you know.

[selfpreservationist]

I hope... it comes more naturally to you with others, in time.

[rollplayinghouse]

Doing it with you helps. I'm working on it.

I mean... I did say it to Vergil.

[selfpreservationist]

... good. I think... he's not used to hearing it, either.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Yeah. That's why I made myself actually say it. I figured, it was best to... be unambiguous... with him, too.

[selfpreservationist]

He'd never suspect, otherwise.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Well, he certainly knew he was important to me already. But... sometimes it's hard to attach that word to a feeling unless you've heard someone else do it.
