[Haru has to go about her day with anxiety in her chest. Knowing that she has a meeting to attend at the end of the day. A meeting that she would actually be looking forward to.
She slips past watchful eyes and into the gardens that they agreed to meet at in person. She’s wearing an ankle length purple dress, soft coral curls tucked behind her ears.
[Meetings like these always came with their own risks. There were prying eyes everywhere, after all, and it was getting more difficult to tell who they could trust and who not. As she waits for her lover to arrive Juri can't help but get caught up in her own head, fearing for the worst.
What if someone had seen Haru trying to sneak out? Would they have caught her and locked inside? Her father had always been ruthless man, but the reason seemed to escape him as the years went by, making Juri worry for her love more and more. They didn't have much time after all...
But all those worries melt away when she sees the soft coral hair appear behind a bush. The sight of the other girl in the pale moonlight like this was enough to make her knees feel weak and stomach light.]
Haru.. [She calls for her with a soft tenderness, the green eyes lightning in relief. Pulling the purple muff tighter around her, Juri stands up.] You're safe.
[ The more dangerous situation was her own. But the eyes and ears of this place were incredibly frightful. At least there were always that handful of people that they could trust. Astralin, Cloud...and a few select others who would never question them. ]
Oh, darling. It is so wonderful to get to see you, finally.
[ It has been a long few days since they were able to meet up. She is going to go to her, and wrap her arms around her lover tightly. ]
[The teal eyes widens when Haru steps into her personal space. Her breath gets caught in her lungs, freezing still. But any tension melts away when the warmth of the other's body wraps around her, pulling her into embrace. Her eyes fall shut and a shaky breath leaves from her lips.
Juri may look all ice and marble on the outside. It's all part of the armor she has coiled around her body and soul. But all it takes is just one touch from Haru and she yields, becoming unarmed. The other girl truly is her weakness.
But still, it's only in her presence that Juri feels like she can breathe. That she can be herself.]
I wouldn't miss this for world. [She sighs into Haru's ear. Then she pulls back just enough that she can look into her love's eyes, one hand carefully raising up to caress her cheek.]
Haru I.. [She begins, unsure how to say this.] I heard talk of the engagement. Are you alright?
[She feels incredible comfort being here. The last few days have been such a taxing affair on Haru. Word seems to have already gotten out too. Her Father was trying to marry her off to some man she knew she couldn’t give a second thought to.
Nothing would ever compare to her one love, the one she holds now. ]
We have to do something. We can’t let it happen.
[She is clearly worried about the outcome. She leans her cheek into Juri’s hand. ]
…we have to elope, or run from this place. It is the only hope we have of staying together.
[The teal eyes widen first from the surprise and a soft gasp leaves from her lips. Haru's straightforward boldness never fails to surprise her. Then, her brows knit together in a heavy frown as she looks down at the other girl.]
That--- That is. Are you sure? [She asks quietly, almost as if she was afraid that someone might hear them.]
[The hand on Haru's cheek fall to rest on her shoulder, gently grasping on it. She's... shocked, yes. By the strength of the suggestion. Eloping and leaving everything behind is such a drastic solution and she can't help but be scared of the weight behind it.]
You will not marry that man, I promise. [She says, casting her eyes down. Honestly, she'd rather kill the men behind this nonsense than allow it to happen. Haru's happiness and freedom were more precious to Juri than her own that she'd wouldn't doubt sacrificing herself. But then again... What would slaying her father even accomplish in the long run? Wouldn't it only be playing into the hands of her own family, while also leaving her love defenseless against the wolfs of this world?]
I.. I don't know. [She admits quietly, pressing her forehead against Haru's.] But I promise to protect you. No matter what.
[ She knows that her solution was the drastic one. But she honestly didn’t know what to do otherwise. Maybe she should have thought about that. It was bold, but it wasn’t unfounded.
She wonders what they will do in the meantime. There are many solutions, but none that would accomplish what they want in any matter of good timing. Her worries are calmed when their foreheads are brought together. ]
I believe you, my dear. We will figure something out. We won’t let this happen. Astralin said he would help us too.
[Juri lets out a deep breath and closes her eyes, allowing Haru's presence lull her anxiety away. She focuses on the way her skin feels against her own, her scent filling her nostrils and sound of her breathing whispering to her ears. There certainly is something absolutely unique to the other girl.
No other person in the world could calm her racing heart and heal her fears just by being. For as long as she can remember she had found the other girl to be precious to her. Someone who she needed to protect and ensure her happiness.
Then after a brief moment, Juri pulls away and casts a gentle smile on her way.]
Give me your hand, Haru? There is something I want give to you.

She is happy that they stand there for a long moment before pulling back. ]
Oh?
[She puts out her hand, dainty like. With an expression that is only mildly confused.
