Amends and costumes

[Skye]

This damn weather could it never decide on if it wanted to be in the coldest degrees or stick to quite warm as long as you moved? Well today seemed to be a kind one so she could dress without to much thought to keep herself sheltered from the cold, besides she ran naturally warm from being in some manner of constant movement at all times anyways.

Stepping inside of the fun costume mansion she had passed by a few times during her patrols but never allowed herself a chance to really give a go until now, always having had something more pressing, something more important looming over her head. But now if they were gonna talk, and in public for some strange reason why not do so where she could slink into various costumes for a fun evening, and maybe pick up a souvenir or two? Not that she was sure if he would enjoy it at all but he had given her the choice so that was on him.

Staying on the bottom floor, away from the costume ones as she just curiously walks around looking at the various things for sale, not touching anything or lingering just casually walking around with a firm grip of the same gift bag she had been carrying through the last Consilium meeting, wondering if he would show up first or if the winds of chance would blow someone else of interest here before him.

Eidolon arrived at the mansion and was shocked about the size of it. He did not expect it to really be a mansion, granted he had never heard of it before now. He was just glad he was dressed casually, even though he looked a bit disheveled. He walked around looking for the person that invited him here, and when he saw her, he was stunned that she had not stood him up. Not that he would blame her if she did.

He hesitated for a moment before approaching her from behind, cautiously watching as the Arrow shopped. He didn't want to startle her, aware that doing so might result in him getting injured.

"Evening Skye, this is well, it is an interesting place you have chosen." He said with a pause, "Do you want to have a seat and talk or are you up for a more casual walk and talk?"

[Skye]

If she noticed the man watching her so did she not show any signs of reactions at least, just casually strolling through the shelves and looking at the various knick knacks with intrigued eyes, and curiosity until she heard him spoke to her. Rapidly spinning around with a tilted head as she squeezes the gift bag in her hand.
”Now I admit that there were wine involved last time that we met Marcus, but did you really have so much that you cannot even recall my name?” True it had been none alcoholic wine but that did not change the point she wanted to put across. ”It´s Aella, Aella Lăcrămioara Rosechylde or Rose if you want a simpler to say name.”

Looking toward the stairs to the higher levels.
”I thought we could peruse the upper floors with various costumes and see what fun ones we might find, might make the talks a bit easier wouldn´t you say?” Turning silent as she slowly begins to move towards the stairs, trying to show an open look towards him but not rushing him to speak but rather leaving the control of what he would say and when fully up to him.

[Eidolon]

Eidolon runs his hands through his hair flustered. He is not sure why he is flustered but this woman has him this way.

"Yes Aella, you are right. And sure we can walk around maybe doing something browsing will help me relax." Eidolon says as he fiddles with the box in his pocket. It was the gift he had gotten for her. But he was not sure when would be the right time to give it to her. If there really is a right time. He knew he screwed up, he could only wish he remembered what happened during that time.

"So where to first, you can lead the way."

[Skye]

Having to hold back a chuckle, it was not often she saw someone flustered when she wasn´t using her normal seduction techniques which did tend to have that effect when the wrong person was picked.
”They do have a couple of floors, I thought we could check out the two upper ones, might help be a bit soothing for the mind.”

Starting to walk towards the staircase, but making sure to not be more than half a step ahead of him at any point in time until reaching them, not wanting to come of distant or seeming rude as she clenches the gift bag in her hands.
”They have floors fully dedicated to costumes, so might be fun to just see what goofy or serious ones we can find, try them on and who knows if we find some special take it with us.” Turning around as she walks up the staircase backwards to keep her eyes upon him and be of equal height. ”At least I always find it easier to talk or convey things when foregoing a part of myself, to make it more like a play when words are hard to find, rooting your own mind in something else to let your own mind be free. If not your style so do I hope that at least you enjoy the sensation of just seeing what fun costumes there are.” Did that even make sense?

[Eidolon]

Eidolon follows her up the stairs and catches her eyes when she looks at him before glancing away. "Yeah, it will be cool to see what they got. Maybe find something fun to try on. I am not one for wearing costumes."

Eidolon turns to Skye, "I'm so sorry for ghosting you. Something happened that I can't fully explain, and I didn't mean to miss our date. I wish I could give you a good reason, but I honestly don't remember what happened. I have absolutely no memory of the week leading up to and the few days after Christmas."

[Skye]

Keeping her eyes on him with a bit of a disappointed look.
”Then why agree to come to a place like this? What is the fun if not both of us can get some chance to enjoy the area when we decided upon a public setting?”

Letting nothing show on her face but clenching the bag in her hands just a bit tighter.
”I understand that work can be hectic at times, but if that was the timeframe so did you still have time by new years.” Walking over to a rack of various clothes to let her gloved fingers lightly walk over them. ”I even saw you at the work meeting next and you had not contacted me, not even a text, nothing.”

[Eidolon]

Eidolon chuckles at the small admonishment, "Because I like spending time with you alright. I like being around you. That is why I came here; I wanted you to be comfortable and be able to spend time with you in your environment."


Eidolon turns red at the admonishment he was genuinely embarrassed, he knew he screwed up waiting so long to contact her, but hoped his explanation would be enough. "It was not just a work thing, as I was not busy with work. Well at least I do not think so. I really do not know what happened. I vaguely remember the work meeting but even that is cloudy. But I lost 10 days' worth of time, I have no idea what I did or where I was during those 10 days."

[Skye]

Stopping up for a moment with rapidly blinking eyes, unsure what to really say. My environment, that would be the woods not some place with four walls.
”Why? You have only had me for yourself once, surely that cannot have left such an impression?” I didn´t even share his bed so why would it?

Looking at one of the costumes for a bit, letting her hand softly trace over it with a shake as she moves on.
”You are still avoiding my underlying question, ten days are fuzzy for you, even if that includes the work meeting so does that leave over a month. Over a month where you did let me believe I was fully stood up for no other reason that simply not being right or someone to spend time with.” Grabbing a costume and with a spin walking over toward a changing room, stopping with a sigh and hanging it back, the flaw of her fun idea finally striking her in its error.

[Eidolon]

Eidolon nervously rubbed the back of his head again. "That is just it, my memory is not fuzzy. There is a huge hole where that memory should be. It is gone, disappeared, I remember nothing." Eidolon felt his frustration building up, "I am sorry it took me so long to reach out, but I was not in the right headspace. I cannot change what I did and didn't do, but I am wanting to make amends."

Eidolon watched as his companion spun as she grabbed a costume, and head to the changing room. "Go change, I will look for something to try on while you do. Lets try to have some fun."
