She placed her hand on the bed next to her, you gave her a curious look and studied her eyes.
She was nervous.
You took the few steps required to walk to the bed and took a seat next to her, pulling your legs on the bed.
“What is it?” You asked her.
Malevus looked into your Fel green eyes and didn’t avert her gaze. She had found the courage within her.
“I have been thinking… and you gave me the time to think…” She said and stammered a little before freezing.
Malevus averted her eyes off you and tried to look everywhere around you, but not at you.
“Just say it Malevus.” You encouraged her and smiled. “Don’t be afraid.”
She looked back at you and smiled for a second.
“Iamgivingyouapermissiontocourtme.” Malevus blurted out.
You had been prepared, but yet what she had said still had surprised you. You opened your mouth slightly in surprise and forgot to breathe.
“Malevus…” You whispered.
“If w-we could be a thing.” She said and her eyes pierced yours. “If we c-could try this whole thing.”
She looked away for a moment.
“I-I haven’t dated anyone in decades… please… let me experience it with you…” Malevus whispered back to you. “I want to experience it all… do it slowly and take our time… one step at a time… we aren’t in a hurry so let’s enjoy every moment of it.”
You smiled slightly at her, the butterflies gathered inside you and you felt the warmth within you, and this time it wasn’t the mana nor the hookah. By the Light she looked beautiful.
“I-I want to see the fire between us ignite and burn brightly… before we…” Malevus said with a soft voice and stammered again. It did take all of her strength to speak to you. “T-think about marriage or… seven children…”
Her hand found yours and squeezed it hard.
“Please… what do you say?” She asked.
>Yes, become her boyfriend and court her.>No, it is still too recent from you breaking up with Calia. It is too early for a new relationship, especially when you have a lover already in Jandice.>Wiggle closer and lean on her, sharing the moment and the closeness.>Hug her and hold her still in your arms.>Kiss her deeply.>Cuddle with her.>Make out with her.>Push her down in bed, see where things lead.>Other, write in.QM: Mystery Box! Malevus route! Please vote on both if you choose Yes. I had planned this to happen later, but Mystery Box is not denied. The second set of options basically go from slowest to fastest approach.
