The notes may just be all doodles.

Gavin, I won't--I'm not going to transfer. Certainly not any time soon. I'm just getting carried away. Creators give me strength. Or give you strength, for dealing with me. Let's start over, because I am an idiot and you are being very patient.
[ How had she even gotten down that path, anyway. She takes a deep breath. ]
I was reassuring myself that I'm probably not entirely unattractive as a potential partner and maybe someday someone I like will actually like me back. And if that doesn't happen, then...whatever. That's what happened. I'm just being a baby and everything is perfectly fine. And I'll feel better in the morning and realize that everything worked out for the best, anyway.
[ She doesn't want to name names, she doesn't want anyone getting in trouble. It's not anyone's fault. Except hers, maybe. Probably. But Sam was a really good guy, and Krem was a really good guy, and they both deserved happiness, and a partner that would make them happy. ]

[There was a pang of sympathy pain in his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Unrequited feelings, that's what it boiled down to. And that - well, that was certainly something he understood too well, even if they usually caused him to just. You know. Run away. (He really wasn't the best example of how to deal with these things.) The fact that this was about a human was... oddly revealing, but he resisted saying anything about it, or asking about it. Beleth was suffering enough.]
If they can't see how wonderful you are, they're probably a fool anyway. [He murmured it quietly, and meant it.] But it's alright to be sad, Beleth. You're allowed to let yourself be. As long as if someone hurts you, you tell me or Merrick so we can stab them. [It was a joke (probably), and after he delivered it he smiled into her hair, squeezing her gently.]
no subject
[ She should probably stop being sad. It was dumb. She had barely known anyone here outside of her clan that long at all. It wasn't like she'd been harboring a crush for years or something out of some romantic story. It was just a thing. A thing she was overdramatizing because she had the emotional maturity of an elf half her age, apparently. Drumming up theatrics and worrying Gavin because someone cute found someone else cute that wasn't her. ]
But I'll be okay.
[ She took the simple affections as they were given. It makes her feel younger, like she was back in the clan, a child with a nightmare. She curls up against him, giving a drawn out sigh, then blew her hair out of her eyes. ]
Eugh. This is what I get, anyway. Trying to mess around with stupid humans.
no subject
[He didn't reply right away, the smile on his lips, and the fondness blooming in his chest, was enough to keep words at bay for a few minutes.]
They are pretty stupid, but I'm proud of you, Beleth. [He murmured it as his fingers ran through her hair, gently untangling any knots they found.] It takes courage, to open your heart to new things, and new people. Just because it hurts sometimes doesn't mean it's not worth it.
no subject
Don't tell any of the others, please. I mean--Cyril kinda knows, because I asked him to...not try anything. But after I've been so hard on the humans...Not that they don't deserve it.
But I don't want anyone to get after me about it.
[ The last thing she wanted was to be called a hypocrite for something that didn't even work out. ]
no subject
Of course I won't. Why would I? [Even if he didn't think it warranted secrecy, it was still her story to tell, not his, if and when she wished to tell it.]
That isn't mine to say anything of. Though I admit I find it mildly depressing, that you should have to worry about anyone 'getting at you' for it. [Even if it was a completely legitimate fear, considering.]
no subject
...Thanks, Gavin. I feel better. Sorry for...rambling and getting so side tracked.
[ She leans up to give him a kiss on the cheek. Mwah. Then she snuggles up against him, pressing her face to his chest. ]
It'll be okay. I'll always have you guys. The clan.
no subject
[He smiled as she gave him a kiss, and then rubbed her shoulder as she snuggled close.]
You can ramble at me anytime.
[There was a pause, his hand still moving - as if he was trying to keep her arm warm, but it wasn't actually that cold.]
You'll always have me. Even if I'm not around, Beleth, I've got you.
