[December 24th, action]
Date: 2011-12-30 06:14 pm (UTC)Everything is a little blurry and she tries to avoid looking at the window, but... she can see. Her head hurts, her eyes hurt, but she can sees. She looks down at Giles, still sleeping. It's a new, odd instinct that causes her to move her mouth, ready to speak and wake up Giles (though that feels like a crime with how peaceful he looks), reality jolting her back.
There's nothing. Not a squeak, not a sound, just a silence that'd been so familiar for the majority of her life, but now feels like a stranger. She knew it was coming, expected it, almost hoped for it as she missed being able to see. Now? All back to her state of normal?
All she feels is a mellow state of tristesse.
She sits in silence for a few minutes, watching Giles sleep and combining the way he looks to all the images she'd held onto and the images she'd made through touch. There aren't too many differences.
Finally, she leans over and kisses him, love and warmth in the gesture, but also a bit of need. The silence feels too much now. She needs someone to fill it for her.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 08:46 pm (UTC)A look of confusion passes across his face - he sees something of the change in her, even if he hasn't the faintest idea of what's happened yet. And he can feel the sadness in her, although he isn't quite certain sadness is the right word.
He pushes himself into a sitting position, takes her hand, and kisses her back. Love and warmth and equal need, even if there's no understanding just yet.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:02 pm (UTC)/Morning, Giles. How are you?/
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:09 pm (UTC)Giving Ginia a long, searching look, he answers:]
F-Fine. How, um, how are you?
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:22 pm (UTC)/I can see again./
[An obvious statement, but one that needs to be said.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:25 pm (UTC)...I-I can tell.
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:33 pm (UTC)Right?
Suddenly, she's not so sure. Talking was easier, people liked it and she could do so much. It was easier for everyone. She can admit that even if no one else will.
But this won't change things. She's normal again, people were fine with reading. She can go places by herself, cook and help out. It'll all be okay.
Right?]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-01 09:37 pm (UTC)...even so, Giles makes a mental note to talk with Helios the second he has the chance to be away.
He hugs her, and then he pulls away just enough to kiss her, a long slow kiss meant to remind her right there and then that no, he doesn't love her any less. Whatever happens, she can rest easy on that.
When he finally pulls away, it's to stare into her eyes. Despite himself, the fact that she can look back at him, that her eyes are bright and unclouded again, makes him happy to see.]
...what do you want to do?
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-02 12:29 am (UTC)/Get an aspirin. I have a bit of a headache and everything's still a little blurry./
[She pauses.]
/Then I believe I told Helios I would cook for the next two weeks./
[She knows he won't let her, but she can still joke and tease. This too, they'll get through.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-02 04:20 am (UTC)Why on Earth would you make such a ridiculous promise?
Especially when that leaves me with nothing to do around here.
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-02 05:16 am (UTC)/You're just as handsome as I remembered./
[Her hand strokes against his cheek before she releases him.]
/And I made a ridiculous promise because it's me and with how good you two have been to me, I owe the both of you. And don't give me that, I know you'll find a way to keep yourself busy./
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 04:41 am (UTC)And you don't have to start now. [He gives the sheet a tug over her.] I'm going to get you some medicine, f-for your headache. Try to sleep a bit more, if you can.

Date: 2012-01-04 04:45 am (UTC)Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 04:47 am (UTC)A present you can send me to fetch, if you have any ideas.
And baking I can manage.
[He pauses at the bedroom door, giving her a look that can best be described as half affection, half affectionate exasperation.]
...I know what keeps me dashing about like a maniac. I've never understood with you.
[December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 04:50 am (UTC)Ginia frowns and follows after him, vaguely realizing this is the first time she's seen their new house.]
/Many things keep me going./ [Right now? It's the need to feel useful and the need for any sort of distraction from the thoughts on her mind.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 04:54 am (UTC)[Giles passes by the bathroom as he talks, almost as though he hadn't noticed it was there. Instead, he leads Ginia to the small patch of hallway that looks out over the rest of the house, so she can get a look.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life, Ginia Solana. Giles mimics her from just a few moments ago, wrapping his arms around her from behind, along with resting his chin on the top of her head.]
...what do you think?
[December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 04:58 am (UTC)/It's very beautiful. You two picked a nice house./

Date: 2012-01-04 05:13 am (UTC)Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 05:19 am (UTC)Later. Just a bit.
[December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 05:21 am (UTC)[The bottle is taken, the lid removed, and two pills shaken out and promptly swallowed down without water before she hands the bottle back.]
Re: [December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 05:23 am (UTC)Good. I have a great many opinions of this house.
...will you at least let me handle breakfast today? It's not fair of you to expect me to stop being helpful just like that, you know. I need to be eased back.
[December 24th, action]
Date: 2012-01-04 05:24 am (UTC)/I suppose just this once./
[January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 03:23 pm (UTC)Now Giles had invited her to go flying with him! It had been so long since she'd been able to go flying--Dhaos hadn't taken her since they were married all that time ago--and now she could go again!
Although--she was still so happy Giles wanted to be her friend again that she would have been delighted to do absolutely anything with him. She'd missed him very, very much during the weeks when something had happened to him; it had been a strong reminder of how much she loved him. She was going to do her very best to make sure he knew it from now on, because no matter how strangely he thought sometimes, he deserved all the love she could give and more on top of that still.
...Despite her excitement, it takes her some time to remember to go outside to meet Giles, but she does eventually. And when she does, she's wearing the biggest smile imaginable.
She looks around to try to find him. It might take her a bit--in spite of the brightness of his eyes, Giles the Night Fury is not exactly easy to see in the dark.]
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 03:48 pm (UTC)Hello, Grune. I'm, um, I'm glad you could make it.
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 04:21 pm (UTC)Hello, Giles! Thank you for taking me flying.
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 04:40 pm (UTC)[He still doesn't understand her enthusiasm on the subject, still isn't entirely okay with this and all that could go wrong with it, but...well, it's obviously something that makes her happy, and he's gotten enough flying practice in over the last few days to push aside most of his anxieties.]
Happy to help.
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 04:41 pm (UTC)[There are all kinds of places in Luceti that look beautiful from the air. It's hard to pick just one.]
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 04:46 pm (UTC)[...of course, if it looks like Grune is having some difficulty deciding, Giles will propose the western lake.]
Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 04:48 pm (UTC)[Grune is definitely going to have trouble being decisive.]

Date: 2012-01-24 05:01 pm (UTC)Re: [January 16, Action]
Date: 2012-01-24 05:18 pm (UTC)[What a good idea!]
