If anyone else felt that, don't be alarmed. We spoke to the student council president, and I believe Etoile and myself now possess this layer's Authority.

We were able to discern that the previous president was the Authority before we arrived, and presumably through this place's stagnation became...well. We'll likely meet her in the underside, let me leave it at that.

It was a complicated situation, but I believe both this layer and the rest of us will be able to move on very soon. Make sure you are all prepared.

I think we've all generally had other things on our minds. [Lion and Ruin aside, apparently.] I do remember how to kiss, however. And quite a bit more than that.

[discutio]

Well...there's no reason to rush ahead on such things.

[we are not defiling the chess club today, chiron]

...Do you think you might consider putting me down at some point?

[schardynfreude]

Heavens no. [...chiron-] I wasn't about to presume more than a spur of the moment kiss. I, ah. Think it would be wiser to relax in a, hm, less physically strenuous way for now.

[As for the putting him down. Ah. Well. That he can do. His arms are starting to burn just a bit, and if they aren't going to do Anything Else, perhaps pinning him to the door with his hips and body will not help deescalate the situation. So. Right. Set him down, then. And even take a half-step back, to open up space there.]

[A little space to breathe was good, for the moment. He rested a hand light on Chiron's arm, just to be sure he didn't disappear across the room again.]

...Forgive me if that was perhaps...abrupt. Too forward, or perhaps uncomfortable somehow.

[schardynfreude]

Forgive me for inadvertently warping us across the room. I still think you've made some grave mistakes, but so long as you're sure of them...

[discutio]

As long as were here, is every mistake not a grave one?
