"She's good at intimidating," Celo says fondly.

Bella shivers.

"Are you okay?" he asks softly.

Permalink

"I have no idea what was going on, and I'm scared."

Permalink

"Well," he says, "I can hug you, and in a little while I can feed you chocolate souffle. Will those help?"

Permalink

"My overall state, probably some. The actual thing that is going on, probably not."

Permalink

"You never know," he laughs, getting up and coming over to her side of the table. "It's really good souffle."

Permalink

"Heh." She hugs him.

Permalink
He hugs her back.

"I promise not to let Jilly eat you," he murmurs.
Permalink

"Does she eat people?" asks Bella, blinking.

Permalink

"Only metaphorically," he snorts. "As far as I know."

Permalink

"I didn't especially have an impression that she was out to hurt me, anyway. I don't know what the hell she does want with me and I wouldn't want to take my chances trying to find out, but I don't think she plans to eat me."

Permalink

"Well, that's slightly reassuring," says Celo, still hugging her. "Slightly."

Permalink

"Slightly," agrees Bella.

Snuggle-hug.

"Do you want me to go ask her what the fuck is going on?" he offers.
Permalink

"Do you think she'd tell you?"

Permalink

"I think she'll hit me, but she usually does. She might tell me what's going on, if she feels like it."

Permalink

"...If you opted to ask her I'd like to hear what she said."

Permalink

"Okay," he says. "If I ask her, I'll tell you."

Permalink

"Thanks."

Permalink

"No problem," he says cheerfully. "She doesn't scare me."

Permalink

"...Why not?"

Permalink

"We have an understanding," he says. "I don't mean like we've worked out a treaty, I mean I get her and she gets me and we know how to get along. You know? She's scary, but not in ways I'm scared of."

Permalink

"Do you doubt that she could kill you, or is that just not a thing you're scared of?"

Permalink

"She could find my garden, burn it, and salt the earth so nothing could grow there again," he says with a casual shrug. "And that's not something I'm scared of, and I don't think she cares enough about actually ending my life to do it."
