Room 503, Saturday Evening

[dojima_hime]

It was wrong.  It had to be. 

Yurika had spent the day wandering the island, trying to clear her head and praying for another result. 

No luck. 

Now she was seated at her desk, pen at the ready, as she tried to find some way to explain this to Romeo.  To Father Juliano.  To anyone. 

"You better be worth this," she muttered, placing her hand on her stomach.  "Kazuki Montague."




[OOC:  Open door and post is open!  Yurika's herself, mostly, just overly-melodramatic and a wee bit pregnant....]
[ETA:  Romeo's visit comes last chronologically.]

He took the hand, tensing warm fingers around hers. "I don't want to," he said again. "I've had ten months with you and two days with her. Before this morning I'm not sure I could have told you want color her eyes were."

"And you're to have my child. I just -- I --" he flailed. "Would you like to talk to her? Together."

He wasn't trying to make her do his dirty work.

Yurika flinched and shook her head. "What would I say to her?" she asked. "Sorry, you were dead, and he knocked me up?"

"There has to be some other way to put it," Romeo said, frustrated. He ran a hand over her shoulders, lightly, in case she wanted to duck. "All right. I'll talk to her on my own."

Said as if this were a burden.

"Maybe she won't want to be married anymore."

He doubted this.

The hand was needed, reassuring, and she leaned in to his touch. "I'll come with, if that's what you really want," she said softly, "I just don't know that I'll be any help."

She wasn't going to do his dirty work. At all. But she could still be there for him without fighting his battles.

"You would be there," Romeo said. 'That's enough."

It had to be.
