[Closed Post] ..the sky will come for you once..

The day is warm and bright -- it's lovely, in fact -- and so Lancelot is doing his best to ignore the strange tension that has been dogging him over the last few days. He is, of course, keeping to his usual routine, which helps, and now he is in the little clearing where he and Magnus meet for training. He's waiting for Magnus to arrive, checking the straps of Arthur's shield while he waits, and doing his best to clear his head and focus up on what he has determined they need to focus on today.

Susan looks at him fondly. "You've done tremendous work on that front, you know," she says. "You shut yourself off ever so much less than you used to when you're grappling with your feelings." She lifts his hand to her mouth and kisses his knuckles. "I suppose I might work on that as well."

"Yes, but," Susan glances down. "You're right. I ought to have spoken with you instead of Magnus."

She glances back up. "I'm afraid I shall always look out for you."

"Are there ways I might help? When you're feeling homesick?"

Susan considers the question seriously. "Perhaps a different tenor of thoughtful," she says, at long last. It doesn't seem enough. Ought she have seen something more plainly? Did she miss some clearer sign?

"My wily little love," says Susan, again stroking his hair.

"Perhaps not," Susan agrees, studying him. "I suppose it depends on if it brings you ease, to carve out the time you need to understand things in pieces." Her eyes, it must be said, do dance as she says this - it's been a good few months since she's thought of when he first said that to her, but she did hold onto that advice for quite some time. "I can understand how it might've protected you in your past."

"Perhaps," she says, thoughtful, "that's not such a bad thing."

"That it's growing ineffective," Susan clarifies. "It speaks to your ability to confront your feelings. Goodness knows I also like to set things aside, but - I do believe addressing them when we are able serves us better."

Susan's breath catches, due mainly to the look on his face, but his words certainly don't hurt. She loves him so terribly fiercely, so all-consumingly, that it catches her by sometimes. When he's so plainly delighted, her heart leaps, joyous in tandem. "Oh, because I'm a woman and wisdom was thought to be the provenance of my brother," she says, her tone dismissive and largely unconcerned - to her, this is old news, and she cares mostly that Edmund disagreed with their people that he should have full ownership of the epithet. She's more focused on the light in Lancelot's eyes.

Susan smiles at Lancelot helplessly, pleased. "Oh, it's tremendously foolish."

And she winds her arms around his neck, drawing herself flush against him. The kiss is intent, focused; she's pouring all her feelings into it.
