Concerning Freedom

[retrieverchef]

[Eliot wanders through the greenhouse. It's been almost three weeks since they'd last gone out. Soon, they'll go again. He doesn't know whether he looks forward to seeing the world outside this building again or dreaded what they'll do while they're out. They almost never just take a walk or just go to the store. No, everything has to be combined with some piece of this... Well, this war it seems Pamela can't stop fighting.

He sighs, trying to ignore the way her plants seem to try to follow him as he walks past them. It feels eerie, almost like something out of a horror movie. Idly, he wonders what his family is doing. There's a three hour time difference between Gotham and Seattle, so they're probably still rushing around the house, getting Alec and Parker ready for school. He wonders if they still think about him anymore.

He's broken out of his thoughts by the sound of crashing pottery.]

she's too hurt to think about sex. LOL

[pretty_poison]

I didn't... [Pam frowned. Did she do something to imply that they should go further? She did feel those feelings. Especially when he softly kissed her. But there was also the ebbing pain]

No. It's not.

And he's only thinking about it because he's feeling guilty and the situation is just similar enough

[retrieverchef]

[He pulls away and bites his lip.]

I'm sorry.

[He helps her ease the nightgown over her head, then lays her back down. He pulls her jeans off and tugs the nightgown down over her legs before stretching back out beside her.]

Is that better?

it was sweet. but she is confused now

[pretty_poison]

[With the heavier clothes off, and just the nightgown, Pam nodded to his question]

Better.

[Something happened. She couldn't get her head around it because of the opium. So wouldn't worry about it now. Instead she just leaned on him, closing her eyes.]

Thank you.

Good. So's he. Especially now that she's being all nice to him.

[retrieverchef]

You're welcome.

[His voice was soft as he draped an arm over her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder, wrapping himself around her and closing his own eyes.]

((and now they sleep. awww. We could continue threading here, advancing a few days, or start a new scene. Your choice?))

((OOC: Aww is right. For all the levels of wrongness, they have some adorable moments. I'm thinking a new scene. He's not at the point where he'll just randomly initiate anything with her unless something's going on or he thinks he needs to placate her for something. He's definitely not comfortable with having sex yet.))
