[he sighs when the tentacles begin coiling, kind of expecting them]
"Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth's human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors-- No--yet still steadfast, still unchangeable, Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever--or else swoon to death."
...that's beautiful, Raven. [ she turns her head, so that she can kiss his cheek. ] Oh, that reminds me, actually, did you ever start writing anything of you own, ..?
[ she can't keep her head on straight, so though she's growing more confused and concerned the head bees are making her anger grow tenfold. she scowls at him, tentacles all flailing wildly as she gets to her feet. ]
I don't understand, so explain. If the Queen can't make a demand, then she deserves to hear why. You can't deny her that, at least.
[frankly his own head feels like it's not screwed on properly. he'll run away for now and panic, and then remember later that he just abandoned his bees-plagued girlfriend]

"Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art--
Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--
No--yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever--or else swoon to death."

if she wants to make out for a bit he can do that. he's just also going to be very, uh, mindful of those bleeding wounds '-']

Show your Queen how much you love her, Raven.

Re: day 241, ๐
No. No, I... I'm not. I'm not going to do that.
Re: day 241, ๐
What! Why?!
[ she doesn't move from the floor, but she swings her legs around, so she can sit up and get ready to, if need be. ]
Re: day 241, ๐
... my heart is... you don't understand. You can't--ask that of me. You can't demand that of me!

[ she just lets him go for now, because clearly he's not worth it. she can feel bad about this tomorrow, when she's got her head on straight. ]
