(vertin finds she did not mind that part of schneider. her fingertips against her lips met with a soft kiss against them, her flushed cheeks betray her for a change about what she's feeling like earlier. it's hard not to be when vertin takes hold of schneider's hand to kiss the back of it first, along her fingers, her palm, slowly. the warmth in her given freely because she knows. vertin's always seen through her as their time together went onward.
as much as schneider has seen through her, her impassive expression and how she would keep others at arms length. not for her own sake, but for theirs. the timekeeper has lost, has felt, pain beyond what most would believe a child should ever feel and yet she carries on. all upon a quiet, lonely, and sorrowful path that most would be destroyed by. and yet....she's seen through with such ease, by someone who seems to understand that ache and the way vertin does not willingly let others so close.
her beating heart pounds and there's almost life in her, life which is met by schneider's touch and this warmth vertin spreads. a reward for that chase while she thinks quietly and....)
That's fine, I wouldn't want you to feel as if you must hold back.
(spoken after another kiss to her wrist, this is something new to her and yet vertin tries no matter how foreign it feels.)
