teary eyed josie things



Josephine paces outside Ezio's door, the sound of her steps echoing in her ears. She only stops when the mage comes out, nodding and speaking in low tones of his injuries. Not dire, not anymore, but bandaging and much rest is what the mage prescribes. It makes the weight almost lift from Josephine's shoulders.

But not entirely. When the mage passes, it's the ambassador who steps in, quietly creeping to his bed. Bare to the waist and stitched and bandaged nicely, he doesn't look nearly as bad as before. Then again she hadn't seen him except for quick glances, her heart hammering in her chest, before the shouts brought others to bring him inside. Now in the agent quarters he lies, lucky enough to have the room to himself while others worked to Sister Nightingale's ends.

She isn't sure if he slumbers or not but she still doesn't speak. She doesn't think she can. She had wept outside until her throat is raw and her eyes burn from want of tears that no longer can fall. One hand falls to his, fingers gently interlacing with his before she pulls up a chair to sit beside his bed.

[Stupid of him to leave it for so long. His clothes and the side of his mare had been stained red from the trip and he had a pretty good idea what his odds were for bleeding so much. He didn't have too much of a choice, but the last bit of distance between that and Skyhold he had opted to wait for proper medical service.

He was lucky.

He's realizing that he's even more so when he feels a hand slide into his. Warm, much warmer than him. Slowly he opens his eyes, looking tired and a bit pale from the blood-loss. When his vision focuses on the beautiful Josephine, he manages a smile.

Josephine...

[Ezio starts to rise to sit, wincing almost immediately as he tugs at the injuries on his back.]

[He doesn't fight it. In fact, he's pretty sure that he'd have a hard time fighting off a nug, let alone any other adult in Skyhold. He sighs as his back presses against bed again and simply opts to turn his head to look at her. With his vision adjusting more and more, he notices that her eyes look red.]

...Are you alright?

[His eyebrows raise just partially at her tone, a combination of shock and relief upon hearing it. She was worried about him. Very worried. He returns the squeeze of her hand and look upwards for a moment in thought.]

Everything had gone according to plan, all but the escape. The Venatori learned I was there and had put up a shield wall to keep me in the fort... I spent too long getting past them before a few of their zealots attacked me from behind.

[He grits his teeth, able to easily recall that moment with perfect acuteness.]

I spent a good deal of time evading them.

Mm... I am and glad to be.

[He offers a glance at the door to make sure they're alone before he pulls on her hand, trying to bring her closer towards him. Ezio hates that he made her worry and would like to make up for it.]

Come closer for a moment.

[The last she might see of him is that mischievous grin of his before he slides his other arm around her waist and begins to pull her onto the bed next to him. Weak, certainly, but he does have a firm hold.]

I made you worry, Josie... I'm sorry for that.
eagle_bloodline: (Cuddling)

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-11 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs, feeling a marginal bit of pressure against his injuries but not enough to reconsider what he was doing. Idly, he ran one hand along her back and adjusted his hold on her hand so they were comfortable.]

I generally don't make a habit of making mistakes like I did, but I will try harder not to be so careless next time for you.
eagle_bloodline: (Embrace)

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-11 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He presses a kiss against her cheek and nuzzles his head against hers. As much affection as he can manage in this state to try and make up for making her cry.]

I could, but being with you for another day is a much better source of motivation.
eagle_bloodline: (Relaxing)

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-12 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Grazie... I think I'll do that.

[He shifts so that his arm isn't digging into her back and he can better run a few fingers through her hair idly. Snug against her and the bed, he lets his eyes shut.]

Riposare bene, Josie. I'm not going anywhere for a little while.

[To his credit, he doesn't awaken from her leaving. His sleep is silent but until she returns to the room and he stirs just as she makes herself comfortable next to his bed. He smiles faintly and relaxes against the bed, reaching out towards her and pressing a hand against her leg so he has some contact with her.]

No rest for the inquisition... But it is always lovely when it happens.

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-12 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles and shifts his hand to run along her leg and thigh, massaging her through the fabric carefully. Despite everything he takes care not to wrinkle her clothes.]

Plenty more to come, I'm sure. By the way, did the Leliana get my report...?

[Of significantly less concern to him than being with Josephine right now, but important none the less.]

It may be a big place, but it shouldn't be hard to find her once I can leave the bed.

[And they did such a good job that he should be able to start walking soon once he's rested enough. Really, the worst part was the blood loss. Well... and the risk of the injury re-opening which would result in more blood-loss.]
eagle_bloodline: (Relaxed)

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-13 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Ezio lets out a sigh, smiling but knowing full well he won't win any such argument with her.]

I... Do eventually need to leave.

[He can't stay there forever. Not that he would, but he's trying duck around the pressing issue.]

[personal profile] eagle_bloodline 2016-02-18 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[That gives him a faint chuckle which prompts a wince, adding another point in favor of her argument.]

Mm... I'm actually looking forward to the moment I can walk around Skyhold with you again. Enjoying your company and avoiding certain glares from a Spymaster.
