{{*forces self to do catch-up post*}}

*When Miro and Vassnta eventually made it to the apartment after Vassnta's brief stay at the mental hospital, Miro started heading right for the bedroom, but stopped when Vassnta suddenly grabbed her hand*

You're going to lock yourself away again, aren't you? sad
*flinches inwardly at his hurt tone and expression. She probably would have just kept to herself again without a second thought if he hadn't said anything*
I'm.... I'm just tired is all. It's been a long day. sweatdrop
I see... *reluctantly lets go of her hand*
You should rest then...
*continues to stand there a bit awkwardly a while. On the one hand, she really is tired, but on the other, she doesn't want to upset him by leaving him alone again so suddenly. After a bit of thought, she offers him an assuring smile*
We'll do something together tomorrow. I promise. 3nodding

*Vassnta beams at hearing such news and more cheerfully bids her goodnight. At first she closes and locks the door out of habit when she enters the bedroom, but after changing she goes over and unlocks it, even opening it up just a crack to show Vassnta that she isn't going to shut him out this time.

In the weeks that followed, Miro made an effort to spend more time with Vassnta, though the concern about becoming too close to him was still there. However, with the incense she got from Liada, she felt more confident that she could keep her mind from wandering too far into thoughts beyond friendship.

Vassnta was also careful in that time because he didn't want to drive her away and still wasn't exactly sure what kinds of things he needed to absolutely avoid. The times she had gotten upset always seemed so sudden and unprovoked in his point of view, but he acknowledged that it only seemed unprovoked because he didn't fully understand all the intricacies involved when interacting with others.

Due to the hesitancy between them, though they were spending time together like they used to, things still weren't quite the same as they once were. In some ways, Miro especially was beginning to seem less vibrant as time passed and certain things she used to be especially animated for, such as eating sweets, she was starting to do almost mechanically. She didn't really notice this in herself, but it was very apparent to Vassnta. He felt it was a sign that she was still upset, but he didn't know what to do about it except hope that it passed.

When it began to snow earlier this week was a refreshing instance in which a glimmer of Miro's former, more familiar self began to show through. She had gone around the apartment, opening all the curtains to get a better view. She and Vassnta had even pulled up some chairs to one of the larger windows in the livingroom and sat there for a while watching it all come down.

After it had all settled, though, she very quickly went back into her more lackluster version. Vassnta didn't know what it was about the snow that had brought life back into her, but he was determined to use this new found knowledge to try to get it out of her again, though just how to do that was a bit of a challenge. He brings her out on walks through the snow a few times and initiates a snowball fight in one instance, but that doesn't seem to do much good. As a matter of fact, she ends up just talking about how cold and wet she gets from it.

Today, however, he elicits some enthusiasm from her by suggesting they build a snowman out in front of the apartment. In an effort to prolong this show of emotion from her, in the end they build several all around the complex.

When they go back inside to warm up, Miro is a bit disappointed that many of them can't be seen from any of the windows in the apartment they're in so she can't easily check up on them to make sure big meanie heads haven't gone and knocked them down. So after a few cups of cocoa, the two go back out and transport the smaller ones closer until there's an army of miniature snowmen out in front of the apartment.

As she crawls into bed for the night, she tells Vassnta to keep watch over their little army while she sleeps, which he agrees to, but he finds peaking in on occasion to see the accomplished smile on her sleeping face a much more satisfying endeavor.*  

[MiroIsBored]

:: some time in the afternoon while she and Vassnta are sitting down to a movie, they start to hear some kids playing outside. Neither think anything of it at first, but then Miro remembers her snowmen are out there eek She quickly goes over to the window and takes a look, discovering some older kids launching an attack on her little army gonk ::

Noooo crying

:: grabs her coat and flings open the door, shaking her fist at the young boys ::
Why don't you pick on someone your own size? mad

:: few of them scatter when she shouts out at them, but most of them don't seem to take her seriously for some reason gonk It isn't until the much taller Vassnta steps out that the boys decide to retreat. As unintimidating as he may be to those that know him, he at least looked more like an adult than Miro did with her stature and choice in clothing.

When they're out of sight, she looks around to inspect the damage, pouting at how many of her snowmen had fallen :: crying

:: frowns slightly at Miro's expression ::
I'm sorry. I should have been watching them more closely sad

:: sighs and continues to pout as she looks over the heaps of snow. Slowly, her hand makes it's way into Vassnta's and she looks up at him with a warm smile ::
We'll just have to put them back together again whee

:: skips back inside a moment to get her gloves and immediately goes to work on reconstructing her army ::  

[ThisEmptySoul]

*after spending a bit of time indoors for Miro to warm up and eat, the two find themselves up at the front window in the livingroom. Miro is looking out at their rebuilt army with glee whereas all of Vassnta's attention is on her*

Miro hopes it isn't too sunny tomorrow. Miro doesn't want them to turn to slush gonk They would be harder to put back together too if those big bullies came back mad Maybe if it snows more, we can build a big scary looking snowman to guard all the little snowmen cat_xd Like a scarecrow, only for children instead of birds ninja

*when Vassnta doesn't say anything, she realizes he probably doesn't even know what "scary" means* sweatdrop

Do you think some of the other snowmen out there are doing.... alright...?
*as she turns toward Vassnta while speaking, she finds him staring at her with that familiar soft look that Tes and Draa would give her when they thought something she did was adorable*

redface Wha... *turns back toward the window suddenly* ... what are you looking at? sweatdrop redface
You ^_^
Obviously sweatdrop But there's nothing to see here xp The snowmen are more interesting.
I disagree. ^_^ I like seeing you smile. It suits you. heart
*hides her blushing cheeks behind her hands and keeps her focus out on the snowmen, knowing of no way to respond to that* redface

I wish I knew a way I could make you smile all the time.
*ducks a little more behind her hands*
No one could possibly smile -all- the time. It would make their face hurt gonk
But smiling means you're happy, and I like when you're happy ^_^
redface W-Well... someone can be happy without smiling... and smile without being happy.
*tilts his head curiously at her statement*
So how would someone know if another person is truly happy?
That.... is rather hard to answer, really sweatdrop Sometimes, there really is no way of knowing, I guess...

*They stand there in silence a while, Miro gradually lowering her hands from her face as her blush fades*

.... do -I- make you happy?
*giggles slightly, thinking that's such a silly question to ask so abruptly, but when she looks over at him, she can see that he's being genuine. Another blush starts to creep into her cheeks as she starts thinking on it in earnest*
.... yes... yes you do... redface
*beams* I'm glad ^_^

redface *tucks some hair behind her ear and closes the curtains, mostly just to have an excuse to look away without seeming avoidant.*
M... Miro thinks she's going to go to bed now redface

*shuffles off to the bedroom, feeling rather bashful when Vassnta follows her to the door. However, she manages to turn back to him and stutter out a goodnight*
*he smiles and places a hand on her cheek, leaning down and kissing her softly on the forehead, as if it's something he'd done countless times before*
Goodnight ^_^

*as he steps away to let her go to bed, he sees her expression is very similar to times he has upset her and frowns*
I did something bad, didn't I? sad

N.... No.....
It's just.....
I don't mean to upset you. sad Please don't be upset with me...
*laces her fingers with his and stands up on her toes, giving him a kiss on the cheek*
It's okay.
*smiles at him affectionately and holds his hand against her cheek a moment, enjoying its warmth*
I.... I like when you do things like that....
*lets go of his hand and bites her lip, her eyes becoming downcast*
I... I should rest redface Goodnight redface

*slips into the bedroom without waiting for a response, leaving the door open just slightly like she had been, but keeps it closer to being shut this time. Immediately, she goes over to the oil burner and starts to set it up. She's tempted a moment to use more of Liada's incense than normal to be extra sure she doesn't dream, but recalls the fox spirit saying something about how using more than the recommended amount could cause her to stay asleep for unwanted amounts of time or something to that effect sweatdrop So she uses the same as she had been and hopes that's enough. After such an encounter with Vassnta right before bed, it seems inevitable she would dream of something more* redface  

[Psyzapp]

*Upon Psy and Will's arrival in New York, Claude immediately rushed out to greet Psy with a customary kiss on both sides of her face and big hugs. Claude had many a conversation with Kyle and was filled in on everything. Right down to the news she was pregnant with twins. He had arranged some very special surprises for Psy to make her stay more comfortable for her and as relaxing as possible due to her condition. Claude touched Psy's belly and was completely giddy when he realized she was already showing. Claude briefly nodded at William as he helped get all the luggage and locked arms with Psy as he escorted her inside, peppering her with question after question.

Over the course of their visit so far, Psy has gone on several fittings. William took her over to them and was curious. Tagging along just to see her choices and watch her in her element. She was completely thrilled he joined her and most everyone referred to him as "Mr. Pavani" which he just took in stride. By day 3, he was a bit bored with it and started to just drop her off in the morning…go explore or do something he was interested in…and then pick her up when she texted him.

They spend the evenings at the Penthouse for the most part. Having a quiet dinner and snuggling up together. One of the nights, she took him to Rockafeller Center to show him the famous Christmas Tree that is lit up every year. It's smaller than I had imagined. *He tells her as she holds onto his bicep. She snuggles in a bit to him to keep warm and he puts his arm around her. They walk over to watch the ice skaters and the two stand in silence for a while as they watch the children in particular. Each thinking about what lies ahead for them when the babies come. Psy grins in particular when she spies an adorable little girl wearing a leopard fur coat with matching earmuffs. And William has to chuckle at some of the little boys wanting to race each other or check one another into the sideboards. lol

Tonight, Psy made ravioli. Knowing her husband tends to get heartburn from a tomato based sauce, she instead sprinkles some shredded parmesan and various Italian herbs on it along with some fresh cut tomato instead. As they dine, she inquires… Sweetheart. Do you think we should find out if we are having girls, boys or both? neutral So we can prepare? *She takes a bite of her ravioli and he ponders her question. Finding out would be practical, but part of the wonder of not knowing is also nice.* Um…I don't know. neutral Part of me wants too know and part of me doesn't want to ruin the surprise. I'm not sure. *She sighs* I'm not sure we won't find out eventually. I mean, chances are I'll have so many…… *She jumps abruptly and quickly grabs the side of the table looking at him wide eyed. He drops his fork and panics, standing ready to grab her and call 911. She then holds her belly and starts to laugh.* Oh my…I just got kicked! 4laugh *She stands up and goes next to him so he can place his hand on her belly. They wait in silence and after a minute or two he says I don't… neutral SHHHHH! mad *She places her hand on top of his and after a few more minutes pass, he feels it too. She grins sweetly at him as she sees how delighted he is to feel the babies move. He pulls her down onto his lap and kisses her tenderly. The two touching forehead to forehead as he tells her a sweet, hushed… I love you. heart

-dame knocks rapidly on Kits door, hands full of packages, boxes, and bags- Kits! It's dame. Hurry up! xd This stuff is kinda heavy. -she giggles inspite of her effort-  

[Kits Rose]

*goes to open the door, her cats trailing behind her* No, you don't want to go out there. It's wet. *nudges them out of the way, then opens the door* Hi dame. ^_^ *looks over the packages* What's all this?

[Kits Rose]

[damecharlie]

confused -looks down at the packages, boxes, and bags- neutral Girl, this ain't my whole wardrobe. rofl Do you know who my mistress is? xd  

[Kits Rose]

*Jack finds something that has feathers and starts attacking it*

lol True, I guess your wardrobe would be bigger... but it's still a lot. I'm surprised you could carry it all at once.  

[damecharlie]

-shrugs and flexes her arms while winking- Strong arms. wink

-notices Jack attacking some feathers- Oooh no you don't kitty. Bad kitty. -picks him up and starts stroking him, against his protests- lol

Ummm, ok... cat_redface I'll go change then. *goes back into her bedroom*  

[damecharlie]

-giggles and pets Jack while standing outside her door- I can't wait to see what you have in mind. I'll start getting some of my first ideas out and set them in the bathroom to change into. 3nodding -chuckles and says against the door- I bet Rod'll like your naughty costume. wink

-flits away with Jack and starts going through her things, setting Jack on the couch-
