[Honestly, she doesn't want to leave. It's all fake, everything about that party, with their fancy dressed and hair much too big, their painted faces and haughty laughter. Percival's charisma and his ability to strike fear alike could control them. Her demure grace and fierceness could do the same. But in the end, Sen is but a humble girl, who rather the company of those close to her in the comfort of their own privacy. Basically, this suits her much better, even if she worries about Percival's requirement to be there.
It's why that despite protests, her body moves so easily in his grasp, doesn't even argue when he pins her with his weight. Her kisses are feverish when she returns them, open to invite him and taste him all the same. She pulls him closer, her hands explore the expanse of his back, annoyed by the fact that fabric happens to be between her and his skin. At least she's close to getting rid of his tie.]
I will stay...but I just worry that... [They will need him. He knows that. But guessing from how he doesn't care anymore, he trusts his comrades. She trusts them too, but should someone who wants to be king do this?
And yet, after all their flirting, their passion, he's so warm. His lips soft to the touch against her knuckles, and his eyes seem to sparkle as they look at her. This here has her heart racing more than their wild moments...
How could she refuse such an earnest request? But it wasn't that she couldn't refuse. Rather--]
How to say... [He calls her danchou, captain. She reprimands constantly for his own sake, so that he would be the future king he wishes to be. They must listen to duty, when it comes to the big picture. But just like how he bares all, how he asks to be a little bit selfish. Couldn't she be that too?
But no, she's often too giving for her own good. Which is why she answers thus:]
I have always been yours, so reach out and take me. I will allow it. That is how you will take responsibility.
[She, who is considered untouchable because of how she holds herself in the world of men. And yet she had always wished to be with Percival, and support him all she can. Sen does not need, but she wants. She leans in, kissing him softly now, with all the affection in the world. A little bit different to their heated desire prior, but she needs to show him this, so that he can be free to do as he wishes. Because she will do the same.]
