[ Relationships are not made entirely of peace and bliss. They are still people. Ones with their own thoughts, feelings and goals. Sometimes one will hurt another unintentionally by simply being who they are. She knows he does not mean to hurt her. She has seen how he is to those that he does intend to harm. If it be anything, she simply is too kind. Her heart is what opens too willingly and too readily. If he does not - cannot - open up to her...then the folly lies with her for asking such a thing.
How their communication has been made possible truly matters little to Lunafreya. Magic is a part of both of them, running down to the cores of who and what they are. It would be no surprise to her that somehow each of their respective magics have woven together. Regardless of their relationship, the Trident and the Puzzle have had a shared history in the past. They may simply be reaching out through that link to speak with one another. Although, she is not certain how that could be for her. It feels as if her own magic has been silenced; a dam placed over the river that normally flows through her and is apart of everything she does. Doubtless it works the same for him, even if Atem has forgotten it and cannot recognize it as such.
She eases into his touch as his fingers brush across her cheeks. If he is starved of affection in any way, then she is as well. Ravus is distant. Gentiana, while a maternal figure, is not human and therefore cannot always provide what it is a human might need. She even leans forward to keep his touch on her face as he pulls away, only to settle slightly as he clasps her hands again in return.
Greatest friend? No, she would not put herself on such a high pedestal. She is merely one of many that help lift both himself and Yugi. They would be capable of what they can do without her as they have so many others to take the place she has. Instead, she will settle simply for being that one of many supports. Perhaps then... perhaps then she might be able to stay in Japan with them should she be unable to be the Oracle any longer.
Her fingers run along side his in a gesture that she has listened to him. His voice echoes in the back of her mind as if it were thoughts of her own. Her eyes remain closed. A fresh wave of tears finds their way down her cheeks.
I have respected your wish, my dear Pharaoh, but I would still do the same without the knowledge of it. She would still have placed herself away from them and stepped out of their path. Out of respect for his bond with Yugi as well as not wishing to cause more grief for Anzu.
It cannot be as simple as asking - can it? Lunafreya is unaccustomed to asking for anything that she may want or need outside her calling. The mere idea that all is required of her is to ask Yugi such a simple thing seems daunting. Why would he agree when it would take time away from him and his friends? Why would he be so sacrificing of his time? Yugi bares the responsibility of protecting and caring for the Puzzle and the soul within it. Surely that cannot extend to something as simple as what she wants.
Words have never suited them well when it comes to what they shield behind their barriers. She could talk for hours and never truly express how she feels. She spoke with him at length in his grief to no avail. In her mind, it is what they express through actions and touch that can truly breath through the walls they place around them. That is the reason why she does not answer him with her voice in any form.
She still remains determined to let down her walls even if he cannot do the same for her. She hopes he understands that she misses him in his entirety. Their conversations, their time together, his touch even if it still is through another. What she truly desires is for them to be as they were in America, regardless of her condition. His touch, his desires, their boundaries gone. Save the one that they will not cross out of respect for Yugi.
Can he give her that at the very least?
She closes the physical space between them once again and kisses him. This is something that only he can do for her; something that only he can give. ]
