!complete, day 05, merope gaunt, rorschach

Who: Merope & Rorschach
Where: The Clock Tower where she is staying.
When: Day 5
Why: She's being unhealthy and dumb, lol.

Merope was curled in a small ball, her body had been cramping since she came back from that one day. The girl sighed and tensed up her small body, her hand rubbing her lower stomach with equally cold hand. At this point she was moaning and groaning, but she thought she heard the sound of someone coming, her eyes looked up and she painfully shifted her small frame and got onto her hands and knees.

The girl was easily frightened, she moved her lithe frame backwards and hid beneath a table where the darkness crept back by shuffling her feet and her heart started to race.

Gosh, she was scared. Being alone was so awful for her, she thought it might have been someone who killed that woman. If her weakened heart pounded so loud, if it weren't in her chest, she thought someone might have heard it.

"...No." She frowned.

Was it just so hard to be happy; To enjoy life the way it was without all the complications of her old one? Who knew. The mere thought of her husband made her upset, she'd done something bad, something Rorshach might not like by keeping it from him.

Just as he returned, wiping away the wetness on her face and dumping the rest on her lap, she wiped them away easily. Sniffling a little, she raised her slightly red eyes back to Rorshah's calming, hard face with no inclination that there was something negative about her being. Reaching over, she pulled him so he was closer to her again,"...I..want to tell you about me." Merope moved her hands to his sides and lightly rubbed him affectionately, but not more than that.

"I come from a place where men and women have magic, my line was from a long time ago. Famous. My ancestors dwindled it all away until there was nothing left, they were so obsessed with blood purity that my mother and father...you know...were siblings." She shifted uncomfortably at this,"...My father said I killed her and that I was a bad girl. He used to yell at me and hurt me because I could not do magic like them." Merope squirmed at the thought, pulling Rorshach as close as she could as she believed he would shove her for some reason.

"My brother too, he used to let snakes bite me because I didn't want to make friends with them and speak to them....I...was going to be married to someone rich, he was going to marry me to get me away from them. I..did not love him, but it was my duty and he promised me safety." She paused, seeming uneasy, did not especially like telling her story as it seemed strange.

"...My father ruined the union by saying things to the man's father. I never saw that man again. My..father told me that I had to make a child at whatever cost, I was told to marry my brother. I was the last resort." Merope seemed upset, her head unable to raise her head as she was feeling shameful. As if he would call her names, she couldn't even open her eyes.

"...I was fourteen then. I..was out..working on the property we owned so it would look alright. I saw a man...a handsome, nice man who smiled at me. I loved that man the moment I saw him, but he would have nothing of me." Merope bit down on her lip, looking at her necklace hanging from her throat. "He was not magical, he was not acceptable anyway but I loved him still." There was another pause, a drawn out one.

"My brother attacked him when he found out, arrested him. He told my father that I liked that man and he tried to kill me. I was saved by a group of Ministry Aurors and they took them to jail. I was very alone, I was afraid of what would happen if I left my home." The black haired girl gazed at him, she feared hearing that word that slipped from his lips so often.

"..I was able to do magic when they were gone, I used it to make him love me for a time. I thought that he would love me for real, but needed help. When I let him off, I was pregnant and he...was..so mad. He left me, I deserved it, I thought he would really love me, but he didn't. I was homeless after that, I could not go home or I would be killed. I...just..lived until my baby came. I wanted to die, my son...he was so beautiful. I just...I don't know....-" She trailed off for a moment or two.

"...You think I am a whore, don't you? Please, please don't say it. Please?" Merope clutched him tightly, fearful that she would be rejected. "..Say you still like me, please." She begged, her mismatched hues fixated on him.

	It was interesting, a new perspective, for Rorschach to think about a mother who actually loved her child. "Not a whore. Ridiculous to say that. Won't believe it," Rorschach said firmly. He had to pause before he could even acknowledge that he did like someone for a change. "Still like you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

After unloading her problems basically on Rorschach, she basically saw that he still cared for her and liked her in some manner still. Merope was overwhelmed with emotions, both worried and happy that he said he still liked her. Gently, she moved to reached up and press a ginger soft kiss against a spot beside his mouth.

"Still like you too." Merope said in a mumbled tone.

She, finally, managed a light smile for him.

	Rorschach was, for the most part, unaffected by the kiss, but he certainly looked puzzled. It was an odd feeling, to have someone's face so close to his own. It made him want to put his mask back on. "Should go now. Much to do. Am masked hero," he said, standing abruptly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His lack of effect was expected, she felt that she'd crossed the line and lowered her eyes immediately due to the puzzled look. Merope pressed her hands against the ground and stood up with a slight hitch in her breath from suddenly stretching. Instead of saying anything, she slipped her arms around his waist for a light hug, pulling away before he could return it if he had planned to.

"..Alright, I will...see you." Her voiced sounded slightly disappointed, but her expression in sadness didn't change any, it was difficult to really gauge her emotions when her face always frowned.
