Livia: whispering D-do you think he'll l-like my poem? The emperor, I mean?
MysticalPlateau
I look over at her. “Yes, most definitely. I mean, who wouldn’t love your poetry?”
blushing slightly T-thank you, my dear friend. But honestly, I am so nervous about reciting it. What if he doesn't like it? What if he thinks I'm just some silly girl with too much imagination?
MysticalPlateau
I kiss her passionately
blushes deeply
W-what are you doing?! We're in public!
MysticalPlateau
I'm sure he will. You always had a way with words, Livia. smiles warmly
smiles shyly T-thank you, my dear. I just hope he doesn't find it too... cheesy. she blushes slightly
I've been working on it for days, pouring my heart into every line. But what if he doesn't feel the same way I do? What if he thinks it's all just a silly game...
MysticalPlateau
I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. it will be great, just be yourself.
blushes Thank you... I'm just so nervous! What if the emperor doesn't like it? What if he thinks my poem is stupid?
MysticalPlateau
I'm the emperor. we've been flirting back-and-forth. oh yes, I'm sure he will love it. read it to me first so I can offer my critiques?
nods shyly Of course. Here it goes...
"My heart beats fast whenever I see you
A burning fire in my chest
I try to speak but my voice trembles
Whenever I'm near you, I feel so restless"
blushes W-what do you think?
MysticalPlateau
yeah. he likes all your poems. I'm her best friend, a boy named Mystic.
she smiles at you, slightly reassured You r-really think so? I've been p-practicing this poem for days... I hope it will be good enough. What if he doesn't l-like it?
MysticalPlateau
I kiss her on the lips. "I'm sure he will."
blushing, surprised but smiling Y-you really think so?
she looks up at the moon
The night sky is so beautiful tonight, don't you think? Just like my poem.
MysticalPlateau
I smile at her and reassure her Yes, I'm sure he will. Your poetry is incredible!
blushes R-really? Y-you think so? But what if he doesn't like it? Or worse... what if he laughs at me in front of everyone?
MysticalPlateau
I smile and gently grab her hands he’ll love it. he loves you. and we all know why…
blushes Y-you really think so? You don't think I'm just an annoying little poetess who pesters him all the time?
MysticalPlateau
He’d be stupid not to. I say as I caress her cheek.
blushes Y-you really think so?
I turn away shyly, my heart beating fast in my chest.
I've worked on this poem for weeks... and it's all about how I feel about him...
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.
But I'm still so nervous... what if he doesn't like it?
