She squeezed her eyes shut, damning herself, ordering herself not to cry.
It wasn't working.
She stood up, quickly, fists clenched at her side, muttering, her voice cracking with on-coming tears, and stumbling around chairs, balance and vision blurred and fuzzed badly from the alchohol,
"I have to go."

Shinji let his head fall to the table before slipping out of the booth to stop Opheliah from leaving. You should walk home...You're liable to hurt yourself. He sighed and tried to usher her into a seat. At least just wait a few minutes...have a glass of water or something...He was willing to beg, should that be neccessary, but he had the strongest of urges not to let her leave in this angry, abreviated state.

She didn't fight being guided, but things had begun to get muddled up in her head. Things had started to blur around the edges.
Shinji was so much like Lucuis. But then again, so was Saber. So did that mean Saber and Shinji were alike?
"I can get home fine," she muttered, lamely, keeping her chin down, eyes focused on the hands folded in her lap, determined not to look him in the eyes, "It's just a cut through the woods, less than two miles, even."

Two miles is too far...he sighed, shaking his head. I'd never be able to live with myself if something happened to you...He paused, blushing slightly as he didn't want her to take that the wrong way, even though he wasn't quite sure himself what he meant by that. He shook his head again and offered a glass of cool water. He was ready to admit he didn't know what there was to cure drunkenness, but water always helped him when he'd had a little to much to drink. 'Pheliah...I just want to help...He slunk into a seat near her and slumped forward some, shaking his head as thoughts took over his mind. I just want you to be happy...

She took the glass, hands curling about it and shaking, making the water ripple, but didn't drink. She listened, not speaking and, finally, ater a long, long time, rasped,
"I know this."

Slightly flustered, Shinji whimpered, head falling to the table once more. Please...'Pheliah...tell me what you want me to do....

She squeezed the glass, and squeezed her hers shut, wishing, dearly, that she could be struck deaf and blind, to keep from hearing the pain in his voice, and seeing the pain in hs eyes. She whimpered, voice cracking, almost pitifully.
"I don't know . . . ."
But she did. She knew what she wanted, at that very moment, and she hated herself for it. She hated herself for it when she thought of Saber, but she stil wanted it.

Shinji clenched his teeth and swallowed hard, slightly frustrated with himself for not being able to have more patience with Opheliah. Please talk to me...he sighed after a rather long silence. I know you're happily in love, and I know I threaten that or something...If you want me to disappear, or something...Whatever you want me to do...Just...say it. The plea came out more of a demand than he meant it to be, but he sighed against the table and shifted to sit again, looking to Opheliah and silently waiting for her to tell him something....Anything.

She waited a long time before saying anything. And when she did, it came out sounding wrong.
"Can't you just read my mind and find out?"
She'd meant it to be sharp, a retort. It sounded more like a request, her voice weakening towards the end and looking up at him, tears brimming.

Shinji watched her a moment before shaking his head. That'd be an uninvited invasion of privacy...and I don't like doing it...he told her, his voice soft, almost as if he didn't wish to reveal this secret.

She nodded, slowly, swallowing heavily and finally taking a sip, if a small one, of her water, the thought dying, but freezing, burning it's self in her head as she muttered, thickly,
"Then you will not know, because it isn't something I'm free to say."
She stood, settign the glass on the table,a nd waited for him to stand and move frm her way.

Her words pulled another sigh from his chest, and he rose to pull her to look to him. He averted his gaze, letting his head hang some so she didn't have to see his face, but he held her hand tightly, as contact is always the best way to transmit emotions and thoughts from one mind to another. Then you don't have to say it...just show me...he said softly, letting his eyes fall shut so he could see in his mind what she saw in hers.

She gasped softly, surprised at how tightly he held onto her. And that made what she wanted burn even brighter. Made it flare up brightly in her mind, light a light house at sea, as hard as she tried to hide it and as ashamed of it as she was.
'Kiss me'.

Shinji paused, his eyes opening slowly as he looked to her. nn...nani? he managed, rather taken aback by this, as he was nearly convinced she wanted him to burn in the depths of hell. He had to admit though, should the circumstances been different, and it wouldn't betray the trust of another, he would kiss 'pheliah in a heartbeat.

She'd half bitten through her lip by now, and it had been peirced, sending a trickle of blood rolling down her chin as she tore loose, making a beeline for the door without another word.
