[ John's only lucky he gets to the door first, and doubly lucky that Hestia is finally getting past the stage of barking and running up to the door at every single noise near the house. He sees Skye at the door and smiles, the rest of it starting to fall into place as he steps back to offer her to come inside. ]

Hey, love. Everything all right?

[Skye smiles softly, but the smile doesn't quite reach her eyes. Stepping inside, Skye continues to fidget with the ring as she turns to face him.]

Hey, uh, can we talk?
oldhound: (there's something dark)

[ The ring is a little hard to miss. He does his level best not to draw too much attention to it. ]

Sure, want me to put the kettle on or, uh, need something a little stronger?

No I’m good, thanks.

[If she has one more cup of coffee she’ll start flying around the room.]

Bucky proposed to me and I’m kind of, really, freaking out.

[Apparently she’s not going to drag this out, or even take the chance to sit down first.]

I said yes, but now I don’t know...
oldhound: (someone to set me free)

[ That explains the nervousness and the fidgeting. The announcement isn't what kicks the wind out of his proverbial sail, though. It's the admission of uncertainty. ]

We should sit to talk then.

[ And he'll rescind the offer of something stronger. Best a conversation had with level heads all around. ]

[Sitting seems like a great idea and as soon as she's on the couch she's putting her face in her hands.]

I'm such an idiot.
oldhound: (i'm underwater but i feel like)

[ He lets her have the moment. The space to breathe before the real talk starts. He knows the nerves that are eating at her, he's been there. A long time ago. Now he's got---well, nothing but regrets to show for that. ]

Why do you say that?
morethan084: (disappointment)

[personal profile] morethan084 2020-10-11 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pulling her hands away from her face, Skye barely makes eye contact with him before she's looking down at her hands.]

Because we can just as easily be ripped away from this place.

[Her fear of abandonment was monumental.]
oldhound: (i'm paralyzed.)

[personal profile] oldhound 2020-10-29 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a shake of his head and he offers a soft scoff, tongue clicking. He's no stranger to abandonment issues. Had them for as long as he can remember. ]

And? [ A little clipped sounding. Challenging, even. ] Gonna let that be what makes the decision for you? Chance that it could happen?

Do you love him?
