[Yeul is walking back to the house right now as it happens. With two baby bunnies curled up under her chin napping while she cuddles them. That's a discussion for later, and not what's on her mind. She needs advice. Rather desperately because she's young and well... smitten.]
[This was still kiiiiinda new to her, so the initial 'oh no how do I-- uh, was it like this? No-- how do I resp-- oh, right!' is probably heard, before Serah's cheery voice pops up For Realsies to respond to the seeress.]
Yeul! No, I"m not busy, just finishing lunch. What's up?
[It's okay, Serah. For the first few weeks she was here, every time someone would share an image with Yeul, she'd be afraid she was having another vision and that she'd be leaving Noel behind again.]
I wanted to ask you something.
[There's a silence that's filled with anxiety and expectation all jumbled together.]
[Her voice drops to a whisper. Arguably it's to keep from waking drowsy bunnies. But truthfully it's because Yeul is a little afraid to give voice to the way her stomach flips when she sees Noel walk into the room.]
...that you were in love. With Snow.
[And there she is, outside the house, trying to bump the gate open with her hip. Because sleepy buns should not be disturbed.]
[The question throws her off in her food eating, and she looks out to see Yeul struggling with the gate. Scarfing down the food, she goes out quickly to help her with the gate, seeing the bunnies in her arms-- ah, that's why she had problems with the gate.]
Here-- where are we going to put the rabbits?
[No answer to the seeress' question just yet, but she's concerned with this first.]
Hm... we'd still have to have a cage or something for them to be in if we kept them in the house-- oh, I wouldn't want to eat them, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be cradling them like this if you were going to eat them. We'll figure it out.
[She glances into the house looking for Noel, but she didn't see him from where she was. Hm, she'll have to look later, but...]
But I wanted to ask what made you ask about Snow and love and all that too while I'm here. Better to talk face to face for something like that.
[See, nuzzling the bunnies and enjoying their soft fur is soothing and makes Yeul's true concern that much easier to talk about. She takes a moment to do just that hoping it makes her heart stop thudding so hard in her chest. But it's more a surprise to her that it's not so severe that it wakes the buns.
Deep breath. She can do this.]
Noel kissed me.
[That's not a good lead off at all, is it? And it has been more than once. And Yeul's been sleeping in his room because of nightmares. But details.]
I love him and I love Caius. I love you and Lightning and Hope and Snow. I loved my tribe. But it's different with Noel. I think about him all the time.
[He WHAT?! Until Yeul explains a little more, Serah's ready to go into the house to give Noel a walloping because how dare but once she gets a little more out of this...
Oh. Oh. She has a crush on Noel! Serah's stern, scary expression from her wanting to give Noel the Meanie Miss Farron talking to softens to a giant smile.]
You scared me there for a moment... thought I was going to have to give Noel a talking to, but... you like him back too, Yeul. I had the same feelings for Snow, before we started dating. Do you know if Noel likes you like that too?
[That is one scary face, Serah. Poor Yeul thought she'd done something horribly wrong herself and she's still not entirely convinced she's out of the woods for it now.]
I think he does? [Correction.] I hope he does.
We got married at the booth at the Flower Festival, but it wasn't a real wedding.
[The more Yeul explains, the further Serah's smile grows - hopefully she's not too scary now!]
Do you want to get married someday, Yeul? Maybe even to Noel? I mean... you're already close, and I know he was really upset that any other Yeul he met wasn't... well, it wasn't you but a Yeul of the time we were in. He was happiest with you, and wanted to see you again.
[Nope, not a bit scary. Which is a good thing because there are concerns that have been weighing on her for a long time that she's kept entirely to herself. There's a slow nod from her while she considers her words carefully.]
Was he truly? I worry that I make him sad. I see it there sometimes when he thinks I'm not looking. I don't want to be a burden for him.
[It was hard enough knowing from a very young age that she brought Caius unending grief before he left.]
But even so... I would very much like to marry someday. I never thought to consider it a possibility before. Now I do.
You don't-- I know you don't. You really do make him happiest, and you're not a burden to him. When we saw one of you in Oerba the first time... hearing that it wasn't you he... well, he wasn't happy. It made him really upset. When I saw him when we were trapped in the Void Beyond, and how happy he was with you... I don't think he'd ever see you as a burden, Yeul.
[That was a lot more... somber than she intended. She grins some and tries to lighten the mood a little.]
I think if he was with me where I was dreaming in the Void Beyond, where other Yeuls were talking to me, he'd be a little jealous. I didn't tell him what I saw there, so he didn't know. I wonder if I met you there?
[And to address that she would like to marry:] Yeah, it's possible here... at least in a couple years for you. But I think you know how you feel about Noel, huh? Your cheeks get red when you think about him smiling, and how you hope he's always happy... right?
[Who's kidding who? Yeul's cheeks are already blazing bright red just having this conversation. Though admittedly, she's feeling a little bit jealous that he met some of the other Yeuls. An unpleasant feeling she wasn't expecting whatsoever. It's silly too. She's seen him with other Yeuls up and down the timeline and it never really hit as hard as it does now.]
Right. I want him to be happy always.
[Serah's right. Yeul already knows her heart, even if she's not quite sure how to put it to words yet.]

Date: 2018-05-13 08:31 pm (UTC)I don't think we should leave them outside. I was going to ask Noel if he'd build them a hutch to nest in.
[This is a cart before horse situation, where Yeul brought home the pets and not a place to house them. Whoops.
And just to clarify...]
...they're not for eating.
