c l i c k t h e f l a g Spoilers for: Stellarlune Elysian (lol the book that hasn't come out yet yes) ᴛʜɪs ʟᴏᴠᴇ Fallon's castle was in the middle, apparently. He guided Elysian toward it quietly---it was early in the morning and the other two Councillors didn't approve of having non-bodyguards in the castles. This was strictly a buisness meeting, though. Not Fallon courting Elysian. He couldn't court her---he was a Councillor. And Elysian wasn't on his match list. Once they were safely in Fallon's office, Elysian sat on his desk and asked, "This is about my home, correct?" Fallon shook his head. "Not quite. This is about those rocks. They're too dangerous." "You're criticizing my method of self-defense?" Elysian asked, rubbing her temples. If her was, this was either going to be a very long conversation, or it was going to be short and explosive. "Yes, but..." Fallon trailed off. That was unlike him. "I will not bicker with you about YOUR usage of them. My only concern is... if someone else finds them. Especially the wrong someone." He stepped towards Elysian. "There is no need for concern," Elysian said. She fixed her hair. "I already have the most talented Flashers and Shades on it." Fallon sighed, running his fingers though his hair and messing it up. "Yes, but... if you go into hiding like this, I'll never see you again. And I don't know if I'd be able to survive like that." There it was. The real reason Fallon wanted Elysian to come over. The real reason Fallon kept on scheduling excessive "meetings" just to stare at her, enchanted. He didn't want her to go. "Fall, I..." Her voice caught in her throat, and she stood and came in front of Fallon, letting her business face fall. "But I'm dangerous." He grabbed her hands. "And I'm a Councillor. It's hard, suppressing this." Elysian gazed at their entwined fingers. There was something inherently right about that. Then she slowly leaned into Fallon, letting him wrap his arms around her. "Please don't let this end," Elysian whispered, so quietly that she wasn't sure she said it out loud. "I don't want this to end." But the moment was over much too soon. Someone knocked on the office door, yelling about Vespera, and Fallon and Elysian practically flung themselves as far apart from each other as they could. Fallon regained his regal mask quickly and opened the door. "Fallon, Vespera just-" Elysian pulled out her starstone and leaped away.
