... I did not forget. I only... I do not wish to mourn someone who yet lives, who may yet return to brighten our lives again. I do not believe him to be lost to us forever. So 'tis not Roy himself I mourn... I mourn all the moments I might have spent with him, cherishing him, that are now lost.
[he lowers his eyes]
You saw the garment he made me. 'Tis exquisite... I've never seen its like before. And he made it for me...
That's what you should mourn, my love. The loss of the time you could have had. It allows you to feel like there's hope, once that sorrow is spent, and be ready to welcome him back if that is what is to come.
[ Kissing his forehead. ]
I want you to be able to look forward to the good that can come, aye?
[ And she hopes he'll get the chance. Though she chuckles. ]
Aye, 'tis what I'd hoped to see you wear when I dressed you- not that we had many options at the time... but should you wish to wear it, I can help you into it whenever you wish.
[ Gently shifting back and wrapping her arms around the back of his neck, hugging him like this while atop him so he can move his face into her shoulder. ]
[ She won't shush him, just gently kiss the side of his head and slide back to help him sit up- this way she can straddle him and have him hug her properly and mourn as he needs. ]
Not go to bed on time or have your meals? Oh, not resting. Only naughty boys don't rest when they ought to. And eating too much birch syrup before having a proper meal.

... I didn't want to bring it up until you did. But-
[ Lifting her face to linger above his- ]
- it's alright if you wish to mourn before me, my darling. You didn't forget that, did you?

Don't hold it back, my darling.

Always, beloved.

... I ought to clean my face before making breakfast, I think.

I think you look adorable flushed like this, actually.
[ Weak smile. ]
But I would rather you not walk out with puffed up eyes or people may think I was mean to you.
no subject
Aye, I'd prefer there be no such misunderstandings.
no subject
You know, some people actually like that? Having someone be mean to them, that is.
[ Pecking his mouth. It is wet, but it is nice wet. ]
Like calling you a "naughty boy".

And what sort of transgression would I have to commit to earn such a remark, I wonder?

I see. I shall keep that in mind.

She smiles and steals another kiss, before moving to get off of him and extending a hand- ]
