[Estelle leans in, smirking directly in Joshua's face and dangling the pastry in front of him. Challenge accepted.] Juuuust watch me, mister!

[.....Aaaand another nibble. And another.

.....This isn't going to last very long, is it.]
brightlyshines: (smug)

[Aaaand there she goes, blushing again. Does she look that weird....?!

Ooooh, he's teasing her!]


Huh, you're just teasing me because you know I'll prove you wrong!

[She punctuates that statement by sticking out her tongue. They are the most mature.]
brightlyshines: (heheheh oh really)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Noooope, she can't quite stop herself from devolving into giggles in between nibbles at that. He was calling her cute.... a cute monster after all, but cute.]

You wouldn't hunt me! You just said it yourself, I'm cute ♪

[She reaches up to pat him on his head with a grin.] Though you're pretty cute yourself, you know. How would you like it if I kept you as a pet?

[Ridiculous. They are absolutely ridiculous.]
brightlyshines: (ooooh)

[Unfortunately for Joshua, Estelle's actually got a look on consideration on her face in between nibbles.]

...Huh, I did tell Analace I'd put a leash on you, once.

[Wait what.]
brightlyshines: (SIGH)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, I was all fired up at the time, ok?!

[You know how she gets, Joshua. You know how she gets.]

It was girl talk, you know?
brightlyshines: (smiiiile)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Does Joshua really want a doggie imitation? Because he's about to get one when she shakes her head lightly, causing her hair to flop about like floppy dog ears.

Welp.]


I was the one following you around? As I recall it, it was the other way around. I didn't even need a leash.
brightlyshines: (smirk)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember it that way because it happened that way, obviously.

[Smugly said with a wave of her pastry. Nah, it had definitely been 50/50 back then..... Estelle admitting it though? Nah.]

[Well that sure took the wind out of her sails. She looks a little sheepish after his comeback.] H-hey, I didn't... I was just trying to keep an eye out for you, you know?

Though I guess I kind of overdid it sometimes.... [It's a weak defense and she knows it, so she'll just settle for taking a somewhat larger bite out of her pastry to sooth her wounded ego.]
brightlyshines: (Awkward)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Joshua manages to catch her right in the middle of a big bite of pastry, so the somewhat surprised look she gets combines with her mid bite pause to produce.... Well. What basically amounts to a chipmunk in headlights.

If there was ever any doubt about who was the sexy one in this relationship--

She swallows quickly, a blush coming to her cheeks.]


Well, I just wanted you to have fun, you know? At least that's what I remember anyway...
brightlyshines: (Welllll)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-22 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
W-well, you know.... I didn't really know of anything else to try, so I just.... did what helped me you know?

[That blush is unfading. Fact was, she was a pretty awkward kid, even with all that energy and gusto. Estelle had always been something of an oddball. The other girls chatted and played with dolls, Estelle got into fights with the boys, played with mud and hunted for bugs. Most of her hobbies were solitary ones for a reason.] Getting out, playing, seeing new things-- that sort of thing.

Besides, you didn't exactly discourage me. If I recall correctly, you even challenged me! [Trust her to remember that and not the size of those rinociders--] I know it sounds silly, but I just really wanted to help you find a reason to smile again.

[Well, it wasn't like Cassius had a lot of idea of how to raise Estelle alone. He tried, certainly, but between work and various issues.... well, Estelle had always handled it her own way, and thrived in her own way. She was a very hardy child.

Still, there were some things she probably could have used more constant parental guidance concerning...]


Oh come on, wasn't it like... bigger than my head?! How much more impressive can you get?!

[Bug tales, much like fish tales, tend to get grander with age, apparently.]

I suppose I wasn't exactly unselfish there though.... I've always loved seeing you smile.
brightlyshines: (slight flush)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2016-10-23 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm telling you, it was big!

[There's no heat in her words at all though, only amusement. It was really kind of hard for her to feel anything but warm and happy, curled up in his arms like this. She could indeed hear his heartbeat, but she could also feel his warmth and touch like this, her pastry utterly forgotten for the moment.]

I don't know about that-- [It's true she likes seeing people happy, but--] But it was always your smile that made me happiest, Joshua.

[Shame, it seems, is also forgotten at the moment.]
