[ There's butterflies flapping in her stomach and she's almost 100% positive she was ready to burst in light from how she feels. Maybe actually float? Who knows. She's so excited that it overlaps her own anxiousness on getting everything right for her. Nico deserved it β damn it, she totally did. ]
I did. I didn't know if it was done well... but [ She gives a timid shrug, trying her best to keep herself from reaching out to take her hands. It's so tempting β to guide her down and show off but. Nah, this isn't for being rewarded, it's for Nico. ] I want you to still take time to yourself β I'm not going to change how you celebrate but... maybe... you can celebrate just a little with me before you do?
well, if you ever decide to, I have an Emma and I've been considering both Zelena and Tilly!
[ Nico's smile brightens even more - the corners of her mouth ache a little, not used to being utilized in such a way - and she reaches out to take Karolina's hands in hers. ] You did great. [ And that's the beautiful thing, she'll tell her later when she's not so gobsmacked - with Wicca, the most important thing is the intent, and her girlfriend's intent is so, so clear in every little part of this. ]
I'd love to celebrate with you. [ She squeezes Karolina's hands in hers. ] And I... I'm so... I can't believe you did this for me. [ She's still really bad with words, okay? But at the very least, the tone of her voice, somewhere between awed and touched, conveys everything she can't find the words to say right now. ] I love it. Thank you.
You'd have to show me. Like β really walk me through it. The books I read up on didn't... really dive deep into it. [ Set-up, important ideology, the history, sure β but a modern day interpretation? Who knew. She's nervous, her bottom lip chewed upon in a daze. Nico's hands on hers warms her up, makes her feel as if she could feel the sun from their little hostel from here. ]
Don't thank me, I β want to do these kind of things with you. New things.
[ Things that earn kisses - soft and sure against her lips. So, she does with an eagerness that brings the red out on her cheeks. ]
[ Those words, paired with all the wonderful things the other has done, do earn her a kiss - Nico leans forward to close the space between them, a gentle brush of her lips against Karolina's, and one of her hands comes up to brush the other girl's blonde hair back from her face. It's brief, but tender and sure, and she pulls away a moment later with an almost-shy smile that promises more to come. ]
I'll walk you through it. [ Another promise, her fingers still working their way through Karolina's hair. ] It's not, like, super hard or anything.
Shall we? [ She takes a step back, still holding onto Karolina's hand. ]
[ It sounds super hard in her head. That's what happens when it becomes more than simply relying on a book for directions. Karolina didn't want to mess this up, but her goal was to see those pouty lips curve into a small smile. It means the world to her. ]
