WC: 339. -whips- Hurry up your face ;o


Her tongue found itself tied into knots, still trying to mouth the last word despite her request for another. Giselle could not remember it so difficult to talk to Tux in his language, but that had seemed long ago, back in her cottage in the woods with her papa. The girl remembered how she would have to study and practice in secrecy, lest her father discover the stoat and have the young animal sent back out into the wild... or worse. The brief thought alone made the young woman shiver briefly, feeling it crawl down to the base of her tail.

The woman's lips attempted to look somewhat shocked, then, as she felt his dark hand come up to contort her mouth, and began to utter out a phrase of lovely, unfamiliar words. It sounded like something from a romance novel, and the true definition almost didn't seem fitting for such a beautiful, poetic tongue. The look of surprise in the woman's powder blue orbs twinkled into confusion and awe, like a child's blatant admiration at someone or something. As quick as Silvano had pursed her lips, he let slip his grasp, and tapped her nose and spoke another word.

"Nah..so? Naso?" Her face searched his own for some sort of positive sign, ears perking as it sounded right to her. As Giselle turned behind her, she lightly touched an ivory fingertip to Tux's wriggling black nose. "Naso," she nodded, pleased with herself. The young woman could not think to repeat the sentence Silvano had said beforehand, but it seemed not to matter. 'Elle turned back around, hair swaying along her shoulders, and giggled as her head turned up into the giant's kind, emerald eyes. Daintily Giselle leaned forward and kissed the tall man's nose, a gesture of thanks, the contact as light and fluttery as a butterfly perching on a delicate petal. Pale countenance changed to a more thoughtful look, glancing down at the closed book. "Oh, it all sounds fancy, just like the characters in this book~"
