Who: Haladreth and Iren What: Getting out When: A few days ago, 'cause I thought it was posted already >.>
Haladreth: *standing on the walls of the city, looking out over the pelannor**has her hood up to shield her from a slight drizzle*
Iren: *is at the Jun, pooling together all of her money resources* *trying to think of how much she has, between her hidden places in her room and the vault*
Haladreth: *kind of wants to go home, to the north*
Iren: *wants to talk to Haladreth... is still ... upset over the whole argument thing, but has been a wreck since the fight*
Haladreth: *has to stay, for king. Sigh*
Iren: *sighs, adds the sums up in her head and decides that yes, if she moves most of her stuff herself, she CAN afford to take up rooms somewhere, but only for a few months* *lets out a sigh, doesn't WANT to leave, but.... .... starts packing up her things*
Haladreth: *otherwise? Would have taken off already, as is thinking that she and Iren are just too different*
Haladreth: *ow, guilt/hurt in chest*
Iren: *starts with the books, since that will take longest, and picks up the one she'd been reading lately ... on sacred customs of peoples of middle earth* *caresses her finger over the title, and sighs*
Haladreth: Damn ..it.
Haladreth: *sweeps her cloak behind her and makes her way to the Jun*
Iren: *has almost one bookshelf taken care of now, packed into a few seperate crates* *isn't sure how heavy they are, but will probably have to adjust them when she tries lifting them* *wonders what Haladreth is up to*
Haladreth: Moving out? *standing in the doorway, and pulls her hood back and shakes out hair that somehow got wet*
Iren: *pauses, book in hand, then nods her head, and sets it into a crate*
Iren: *tries to remember to breathe*
Haladreth: ...Why?
Iren: Because I cannot become who I need to be by remaining who I am. *says this matter of factly, while opening her armoire*
Haladreth: Who do you need to be?
Iren: ... not this... in any case. *wasn't prepared to explain her actions and doesn't really have a coherent reason formed in her head yet*
Haladreth: *looks..confused
Iren: So long as I am here, we will fight over the fact that I am here, we will fight over who I am. *says this, carefully... obviously trying to pull her thoughts together while picking dresses off hangers and gently folding them*
Haladreth: You are Iren...
Iren: Iren is a whore who has been a whore since she was 11 years old.
Haladreth: *winces*
Iren: Yes, and you need to fully come to TERMS with that. You can't love only half of me. You have to love all the parts. Even if I'm willing to change ... and I am .... you still have to.
Haladreth: I...it is..hard.
Haladreth: I do not blame you?
Iren: I'm not.. saying, that you have to accept it's right. Except that I think it ends up being that way, since you love me, I must not be a bad person, but I work here, so I must be a bad person....
Haladreth: You are not a bad person! *grabs her face, gently, and tilts her head* Nay nay you are not a bad person, I never said that, I never felt that.
Iren: But other people who work here, and they are bad.. *sighs* *doesn't want to fight* I feel like I am beneath you.
Haladreth: >.< You are anything but beneath me!
Iren: I'm not... sacred, or anything....
Haladreth: *sighs* To me, you love is something sacred.
Iren: *takes a seat on the bed to rest for a bit* Then what do you want to do about it? You know can't love me as I am now. There's ono point saying otherwise.
Haladreth: The damnedst part, is that I love you as you are now, regardless of what you have done in the past.
Iren: I'm just... not sure I can believe that....
Haladreth: *pulls away and runs a hand through damp hair*
Iren: *sighs* So I am moving.
Haladreth: To where?
Iren: There are a few places with open rooms..... I can afford them for a few months.
Haladreth: You can join me. *voice is even, but her eyes are very, very emotional*
Iren: Where do you... live, anyway?
Haladreth: *smiles* I spend most of my time sleeping out of doors, but I've a small place to call my own, in a set of apartments converted to barracks for the Gray Company.
Iren: Barracks? Sounds like... not as private as one would hope.
Haladreth: *smiles* This is somewhat true.
Haladreth: but I've my own room there.
Iren: I know you'd like me to.. but... I don't know if I should. I'd rather have a place we got on our own, or.... a place of my own... I want to feel like you're not rescuing me. I think I need to rescue myself.
Haladreth: Then choose a place, and we shall live there together.
Iren: *blinks her eyes* ... well ... alright..
Haladreth: ..you object.
Iren: I'm just confused.
Haladreth: what is there to be confused about?!
Iren: You want me to live with you. Really want me to ... you know what that will lead to...
Haladreth: Do I? Tell me what it will lead to..
Iren: ... We'll end up getting intimate. I'm still not sure you really WISH to.
Haladreth: .......
Haladreth: What if I -wish- to?
Iren: Well .. then ...... ... well then.
Haladreth: *folds her arms and gets smirky*
Haladreth: *walks over to her, and caresses a wet hand down her cheek*
Haladreth: *closes her eyes as she does so, and lets out a soft sigh*
Iren: *lets out a little sigh, too, and leans in against the caress*
Haladreth: *smiles softly at that heady feeling*
Iren: *ponders* *doesn't want to get the stuff on the bed all wet >.>*
Haladreth: *continues to run her fingers of Iren's face**heady feeling is like a drug, and she'd been desperate for a hit*
Iren: *continues to lean into the caresses....... gets warm fuzzy feeling off of them*
Haladreth: *moans a bit. Just a bit, and pulls away*
Iren: *lets out a bit of a sigh, and takes a few moments for her head to stop being fuzzy* ... right, so... I will find a place to live... will you help me move, when I do?
Haladreth: I shall. I would..like a view of trees, or water, though >.> If there is such a place here.
Iren: *nods her head* I will do my best.
Haladreth: I think..away from this place and it's many temptations of the flesh, you will find me much more relaxed.
Iren: I am not sure I will be relaxed, outside these walls, but we.... will see, I suppose.
Haladreth: *Just. sighs*
Haladreth: If I could relax here, even for..a little while...*keeping two feet from Iren because she wants to be close and personal right now*
Haladreth: *and doesn't want to be close and personal HERE, which she just realized a few moments ago >.>*
