“O-Oh,” Randall nodded as he set down his candle, allowing him to better see her as he grabbed the stool he’d left earlier, sitting on it so that they could see eye-to-eye.

For a moment, he was mesmerized by her eyeshine: He knew some creatures, such as alligators, had them (having seen the shine of a gator’s eyes a couple times in his life); Dorian once told him the scientific term, tapetum lucidum, a funny word he struggled to pronounce when he first saw it, and had long forgotten until he looked at her now, in the dimness of the bathroom. Her eyes had a sort of rose-gold glow to them that was haunting in its presentation (once again reminding him of an alligator lurking just barely on the surface, watching laxly from its place in the water), and yet beautiful in its own right. He felt as if he could look at that shine forever.

Snapping out of his reverie, he remembered himself, and so he stooped to pick up the little bowl; there was plenty in there. Shyly, Randall looked up at Emily, then to the bowl in his hands, and then back to her, asking softly, “D-Do you, u-um...d-do you want me to, um, p-put more o-on?” He repeated the rub action, well aware of how warm his cheeks were as he asked her this, absentmindedly fidgeting with the bowl all the while.

#((oh absolutely! there's still tons of shows that will draw in plenty of customers; both nyc natives and visitors to the big apple)) #((but i defidently do think the community will feel its absence; especially after being such a huge part of it for so long!)) #((i hope that the crew; in particular the orchestra; will be able to get new gigs with one of the other shows running on broadway)) #((because that has to be so stressful; to have that steady gig suddenly go up in a puff of smoke; and i really do wish them the best)) #((and hope that they'll be able to get new jobs in the same field!)) #((and y'know i admit; i sometimes find myself imagining broadway as just a long string of theaters and art houses)) #((like i know it's an actual borough of new york and i'm sure there's lots of residential places/other things there beyond theaters)) #((but i find myself imagining it being just a bunch of theaters all crammed together; each one playing a different musical!)) #((silly i know; but that's the image that just pops into my head!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Part of Your World
