[ closed ] fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead
Who: Miles and Elizabeth
When: the 16th...ish
Where: Elizabeth and Lara's room
What: Miles comes to check on Elizabeth after her date with Ivan, and then some other unexpected feelings happen
Warnings: emotions.........
Since Ivan told him about the barely mitigated disaster their date had turned into, Miles has been understandably concerned about Elizabeth. She must be alright by now, he's sure, but even so, even just from the few vague comments Ivan had made, Miles is still worried. Whatever it was, whatever confusion or flashback she'd had, it had to be related to one of the awful things that happened in her all too recent past.
Even if it wasn't -- Miles would still be worried about her. They haven't really spoken much recently, no real reason in particular, although he's been feeling a little shy in her company even since -- what was it, Christmas? Christmas, right. Dancing with her had been truly exhilarating, it'd been fun, and it'd been painful to keep his feelings to himself. They're still there -- they haven't faded in the slightest -- but he's figured out something Ivan hasn't. Ivan is having feelings for Elizabeth -- very real feelings, more than Miles has ever seen on him before. Ordinarily a date like what had happened with Elizabeth would've sent him running in the opposite direction, and probably hiding out for a few days to ensure no thoroughly awkward run-ins. But Ivan wants to go straight back for more. Even at his most selfish, Miles can recognize how rare and likely important this is for his cousin. It'll take Ivan a while to figure out himself, he supposes, but Miles already knows what it means. Elizabeth must be something special -- as if he had a doubt before now.
It's evening when he comes by, an hour or so after dinner. He's hoping she'll be around, because he'd rather catch her here than in his office or the library. Miles tugs at his uniform collar and knocks on the door, immediately shoving his hands in his trouser pockets to keep from fidgeting.
