Downtime 2, Wk 3: Loneliness Starts Sinking In

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 6:50 pm

Will was strolling down by the Thames, her hands in her pockets, after her talk in the danger room.

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:00 pm

Onyx was running some errands for Victoria when she spotted Will, glancing at him curiously she followed after him, trying to catch up.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:01 pm

Will stopped at an empty spot on the walkway, just in front of a restaurant, and then turned to stare over the riverbed.

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:04 pm

Onyx walks up behind Will, "...Ma'am?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:06 pm

"Onyx? Oh, um, hi there," Will said, frowning almost undetectably.

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:06 pm

"Hello," Onyx says, "How have you been?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:07 pm

"I've....been. And yourself?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:19 pm

"I'm fine, ma'am," Onyx says.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:20 pm

"I'm glad to hear it. All settled in, getting into a routine and all? That's fantastic news."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:26 pm

Onyx nods, "Yes, ma'am. Thanks to your help."

"Are you alright? You don't look well."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:28 pm

"It's been a rough few days, but I'll get over it."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:28 pm

Onyx nods, "Do you need any help, ma'am?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:30 pm

"I'm not the one who's gonna be needing help. You've basically gotta replace me for Sara. She'll need a warm hand..."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:56 pm

"I can take care of my Mistress, ma'am," Onyx says, "But that doesn't mean I can't make sure you're taken care of as well."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:58 pm

"That's awfully nice of you, Onyx, but you do know I won't be marrying her anymore, right? I'm not gonna end up...inheriting you or whatever."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:13 pm

"Neither of my Mistresses have informed me that I can't care for you," Onyx says, "I believe it's up to me, ma'am."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:16 pm

"...you care for me? I mean, for real, and not because you're supposed to?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:58 pm

"Of course," Onyx says, "You're my friend, ma'am."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:13 pm

Will turned, broke into a huge smile, and hugged Onyx.

"Thank you. That means a lot, coming from you."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:39 pm

"You're welcome, ma'am."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 10:42 pm

Will held the hug for a little, then released with a sigh. "I hope she won't mind that. Being dismissed kinda sucks."

by **Onyx** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:14 pm

"It would be unfortunate," Onyx says, "But I don't think she's that sort of Mistress."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:16 pm

"I meant me," she chuckled, humorlessly. "Still, it's likely for the best."

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:12 am

"Why do you think that?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:18 am

"If it wasn't gonna work; if I'm just gonna make her life harder, better to find out now then after we're married.

Better to find out before she's pregnant, but..."

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:29 am

Onyx nods, "You can't change the past, ma'am. You just have to move on."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:30 am

"It hurts me, because I still...

Well, I'm just causing her pain. That's the last thing I want to do. I think...between the two of you, you can handle it. Right? You can take care of her..."

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:55 am

"Absolutely, ma'am."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:57 am

"I'm counting on you, you know. You two'll do great without me interfering. And with the extra cash, you'll be able to set everything up nicely. Really, it's for the best."

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:59 am

"I won't fail you, ma'am."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:00 am

"Thanks. It makes it a lot easier with you around. Lucky break.

Um...this is kinda weird, but there's something I want you to hold for Sara...eventually she'll be really down and out and need something to pick her up..."

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:02 am

"I'll take care of it, ma'am," Onyx says, looking eager to please.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:03 am

Will, hesitantly, cupped Onyx's chin...and then kissed her slowly.

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:04 am

Without hesitation, Onyx kisses back.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:05 am

Will brought her other hand up, pulling Onyx a little closer.

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:06 am

Onyx kisses Will eagerly, moving in very close at Will's touch.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:07 am

Will pulls back for a second. "That one was for Sara. Make sure she gets it.

And this one....is a thank you," she added, leaning back in.

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:10 am

"Yes, ma'am," Onyx says quietly, leaning forward slightly but letting Will decide the pace.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:11 am

The second kiss is a little less forceful, more exploratory, as she brings one hand down Onyx's back.

by **Onyx** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 1:13 am

Onyx seems to melt into Will's arms, kissing her softly but passionately.
