William dropped down from his horse. It had been a long ride - from London straight down to the southern coast of England. But he'd barely stopped, only doing so when his horse refused to go further without rest and water. But each time, William did little more than tap his foot anxiously, trying to focus on anything but his thoughts of what happened the day before.

But now that he'd arrived, there was nothing else to distract him. The horse was forgotten as he walked towards where the English Channel extended out to what seemed like eternity. With the thick fog of the early morning, there was no telling just what was out there. William's breath was shaky as his gaze then drifted down. Beachy Head, a beautiful site for some, with the tall cliff towering over the shore line below. But for him, this day, it was his enemy - or perhaps his closes friend. Whichever the case, he was terrified.

[ Hearing William's voice, her hair nearly whips as she looks behind her. Eyes widening, a touch of moisture gathers in their corners.

Knowing that he's abandoned his sure chance at life breaks her heart-- and yet, he's refused to abandon her, and she can't ignore how good that feels. ]


Will--!

[ Swallowing down such emotions, she glances back to the mob once more to gauge their distance - but now that her lover is by her side, she certainly won't refuse the chance to get them to safety. Once she has her footing, she tugs her arm away, but only so that she may take his hand. ]

We'll have more of a chance if we cut through the woods-- ngh, everything hurts, damn it--...

We can't outrun them, in this state, my love...

[ Her breathing has become a bit laboured, bearing through the pain of her tumble. Surely, manoeuvring around the trees and uneven ground of the forest is proving to be especially difficult, but she won't allow herself to stop. ]

[ Breath heavy, she falters for but a moment, once the brush clears and the cliffs are visible. The ocean lashes loudly against stone, and the wind chills her down to the bone, but the sight of moonlight upon the water is enchanting. ]

Will... It's where we met...

[ The rustling and chatter of the others still indicates some distance between them, but it still won't be long until they've caught up - and so, Grell gently pulls him along to chance a closer look at the cliffs' edge. ]

[ Hearing it in his voice, her gaze turns to him. Somehow, though battered and worn, he looks especially beautiful. Her heart simply overflows. ]

Nor did I. Truly, I'd meant what I said; I hadn't begun living until our paths crossed.

[ Her fingers wind between his with a soft squeeze. ]

You've saved me.

Yes. God, yes.

[ Turning to him, she steps in dangerously close, until their bodies are flush, and her nose brushes his. ]

I was desperate to relieve myself of my misery, tormented by loneliness-- and then, there was you. You gave me unconditional love, and in turn, I found peace within myself. Colour, music, and art regained their splendour. I looked forward to every day that we could be together; I was truly happy to be alive.

[ Her eyes have drifted closed, her features serene. ]

My experiences with you this past year have exceeded a lifetime before.

[ Grell eyes connect with his, and with a soft smile, she reaches up to cup his cheek. Her thumb pets over his skin, as she drinks in the sight of his features. ]

You must remember that you were hurting, too. After everything, you'd done the best that you could - and it's more than I ever could have asked for. Truly, William, thank you.

[ When it clicks, something of a chuckle lulls beneath her breath. Though difficult, she pays those in the near distance no mind. Instead, her hand shifts to rest behind his neck, as she rises on toe to give him a kiss. However brief, it is immensely passionate - and she whispers her love to him, against his lips, once more.

They haven't got much more time; she tugs him along to stand along the very edge of the cliffs, though she doesn't look below, only at him. Giving a confident nod, she waits for the signal that he's ready, hand tightening in his. ]

[ It doesn't seem as though Grell's been very productive at said desk. In fact, she happens to be reapplying her lip gloss as her superior approaches, and doesn't seem to be at all fazed over being caught.

The usual chatter about the office ensues; chuckles and snide little remarks regarding what she could possibly be in for, this time. ]


A fair question! Not even I remember. Hm!

[ Indeed, she looks confused - only shortly before snapping her compact closed and swinging up onto her feet. It's a moment before she's replaced the coat on her shoulder and pulled her hair free of it, though. Another, as she floofs her tresses. ]

But, truly, who cares. I've got an excuse to get away from this bloody paperwork, and spend time with my Will~♥!

[ And if she can manage it, she'll latch onto the manager's arm with a purr of a hum. ]

[ The surprised sound that erupts from her quickly drawls into a giggling croon - once she's regained her composure and can bat her lashes his way. ]

So rough. You must've missed me!

[ Lacing her fingers behind her back, she wanders forward. It's an idle pace, as she heads for the exit. ]

Where are we off to, then? I hope it isn't another meeting with Upper Management-- I haven't done anything significantly terrible, not that I can remember...

Record Storage--?

[ It's clear by her voice that this is entirely baffling to her. ]

Whyever would we go there?

[ Still, she does as he says, approaching the lifts and smacking one of the buttons. Waiting for it, she turns and folds her arms behind her, resting against the panelled wall to face him while they wait. She has a foot propped up, her head tilted as she bats her eyes at him a bit. ]

Is it some sort of investigation we haven't heard about yet?

[ Giving him a playfully scolding look, she takes her place beside him in the elevator. Perhaps a bit too close. ]

Oh, that's it, then? Going to keep me guessing? Flirt.

[ But the lack of retort makes her a bit easy. Enough so, that she allows the awkward silence to hang between them - twisting a strand of hair between her fingers and watching the numbers almost nervously - until the ding of the elevator disrupts it. ]

I haven't been here in--... [ Well, since she'd seen her record the first time. ]

[ That's a bit of personal information that she hadn't known before, and it might be the only one that he's directly shared with her. It earns a curious, perhaps even vaguely alarmed sort of glance.

Flustered, she accepts the clipboard-- but then, something in her very demeanour shifts. ]


My record?

[ The way she looks at the paper, one might think that she had just been asked to sign away her immortality. Her hand hesitates, and she's sunk so far into her thoughts that his words don't reach her until the record has been presented to them. ]

--they make copies? How many are floating about?
