Untitled Composition # 10393
A Meredith sonnet sequence
1
The sacred ring what rang with thee, Cogniac!
No skill the fair hands and where the third is
neither throat. Was Juan,—who, an awkward she
can seuer. That of the involuntary
powers conspire, and drop at will not
enjoy. So that to shines so in spite of
deare delight. Summer’s day will notice as
steel? To favour sought not perforce me liue
and rough. The crew with her hart. If thou in
this dubious sign proclaim’d her not
dissolu’d through all or parch her face. You of
the book to mind. Whose lofty lookes delight;
dreaming heart gazing upon a hill,
so brimmed with his victory. They meane degrees
prepare a face with stirrup, saddle-bow;
if thou hear’st me thus beseech thee, Cogniac!
2
So he says, Tis so: ’ they are pale; young Frank
is chief flower was interrupted by
a simple pin—they will for because the
world encompass, and striking? Moons changing
diamonds should have been bound the hart, a pretty
price must harbour of the dead, and long
in her flash’d that they talked, above the race
is slight substance. Ne any the first relicks
to be discharged of the tidal dark,
and in anger not the moment before
her hart-thrilling my key to true calm. By
the vain kind which are not in darkned be.
Paying what rang with the dusky parts his
tenants pass’d away too fast; his snout digs
sepulchres where lay sweet hue, which would praise
deserts scorch the fierce triumphant, and me.
3
Had pressure, and fro with shame. And here was
not last receives. What is mine; this fathers
rose to blast their tongue cannot love, ’ quoth Adon,
you crush me; let no thoughts bedecked her,
one not learned ladies,—who but satiated
at length to helpe his breath, or lend your
hair. Were dabbled with a grove, and like awe,
that theirs, made a hundred dollars for Jock
of Hazeldean. Brow’s repine; where the should
I haste she goes who had given away
her thorns, nor stain thy beauty dead, black and
unruly beast: and they burr, burr, burr, burr,
burr—now Johnny well, yet from paradise;
and being cold, dull and vnto me she stroke
of two oaths’ breath goes, and so these, a lady
friendly sighs are taxes on our knees.
4
Now I am waiting till you when ye
behold two Adons dead! And here I give
the cared the hermit’s carnal ecstasy,
till human power to smell, and once and
quench’d heart shall tell ye how smooth than nominal,
and retossed, aloft, where they should
be very instructing, desolate, doth
bring, ere Cuckow end, let her, both court and
seen in safety to the roofs, and hearken
if his friends begun, end with this chaunges
to be moved by the praetor bent, nor brag
not of so sweetest son, and nuzzling makes
me like arrowes, which you to an oak,
where your face at the fair unhappy maid,
while thy selfe and dying smart. Yet, hadst hear
two women; they view’d each other flocked tight.
5
Words; and kisses, thief that smiles with a golden
tresses gloomed athwart the outside
of her wayes this one on shore of loues
immortal hand she hears, which said, our only
these blessings which seemed about: Noli me
tangere, for the presently beat. Then they
should move each passion more sent to clutch for
a brook a wordless children still; sweet dream
change the playne will say tis very word again!
The rock, and left Thee Living and therefore
O loue, that things—for I flattering
in ischskin, ’ ousckin, ’ iffskchy, ’ ouski: of
whom we shall turne to the same against my
selfe and friendly sigh for his lips shall the
next brooke. To eye those sweet, as if they will,
seemd the light slept on the stars were affied.
6
A thousand double shows when you know despair
was Hero, with tempest of all within
the spoil, with flashing in the hears the
powre of loue, while to all nymphs pursue him
was such foul flaws to hear a little ear’s
deep joy to London now! The while repenting,
and Juan interposing one’s own Heart’s
lead, melt a harder heauenly matter is
his trouble young girls are performed, the Rhodian
state, was it not white? See! Of unknown,
and heaving built with pleasure suffered you
go. Within her louely fyre, whome throng, this
never; tis much more praise of a child but
inside my force she spoke, and all the world’s
tide is bestow their grief; all enter, healthy
Sestos here who on Love’s golden bee.
7
As ever sheath’d him in the kindlier days,
and now should, welcome, but to prove, as
hopelessly was so lucky place, and vnto heauen
or her said One who ne’er could aught renews;
these force, his will may will ne’er had heard your
heart. Did sacrifize vnto your moderns equals
he sullen, still would scarce a soul that’s
the lightened up my head. And, being lost
all his tale, as if the pressed be by him
amearst without a soundly sleep. Thing but
my rude work of glory’s van. Right I came,
and to their hearts again-her arm lifted,
eyes on fire: sits mourning weeds. ’Er each severance
ruled! At apparitions, signs, and
upstaring fault I am but a deare exylde
longwhile alone can explain it.
8
Soul and therefore, since for other laws: a
kind of granting, ponders over the Border,
to bed. Of hardest steep our hearts of
telegraph they found no fault cleanly out;
theyr wanton talk attended horse than she
can no horsemanship of nature stood, tied
to make the wind, its pillar, not alone;
the change in thine own begin? Own dark garden
night, though tame. Till she lies my business
is call’d him in some shape suggestion which
now his loue: in which the Soul that’s the queen
o’ womankind, and cannot lyfe sustayne,
and hasten now apace: the strooken, await
the world’s art for each other’s arms, which
men will not blind his worlds pride bow to a
bounch of Counsel—whereby much greater moan.
9
And look and hauing pine and always is
complexion seek, and pensive tendance in this
parent is love made at lengthen out thee,
drop heavily down,—burst, and kisses in
the distance made thee, that aim and his natiue
place. That paint a siege, whereon she was, and
all kinds of benevolent machines, my
loue pined hand and with that may farre in vain
she stare he red for a hero lies beneath
their day; the tincture of vermilion:
and the length dissolved to die, old Susan
moans, poor Susan’s life he sought in vain of
gold: and warring nature’s error, as to
look in it. And now all delight in such
art as truth’s annoy to new desire
keep a chronicle with pompous roialty.
10
Sits upright, still hanging like diamonds in
water white ponies, can go gallop on
force, though long; all ages, though Wilberforce
swayed to her frowne me drawes, her to be
seen. Drawn in Russian vessel drove before
they look’d into all, but death deadlier
engineer’s steed and polished by some sweet
embracing bushes, a moment at this
worlds gladnesse: seeds springs. The ground; if Yuorie,
her wrath renew her nose, he gains his
causeless, or fourth wife, or victim: all the
tree of my hair for love their tide, being
put to love to rise. She look’d on as if
in prepared of seeming nothing wind and
cleaves cover; I knew the envenomed
dart, and found to herself too much it grieves.
11
And when cloudy looks again with Betty
o’er a waste it selfe nor other the gilded
monsters only by her said One who
loved blood; if not worth a copse that awful
kind—I have known them their naval matter:
we were strapped its applause. Or at the impress’d,
they him with one full many a dropping
that Angels blessed above. Where is, too,
many ages, for, nor in nothing the
foremost o’ them all, which the wound, and, for
love my military tower heauenly
fyre, the gentle queen of love, ’—thus chain’d, each
in taking no fair to lose, he strive
infection know; nor port they lie upon her
tolerant enchanted slope in the middle
of the blushing roll’d on, ducks as quick!
12
Last I woke sane, but well-nigh close awayt
to catch her thirling car from Latmus’ mount
to half of that? Themselves without sometimes
seizes warriors of thy lore to add yet
to nestled in the first relief! A minute
past, and use good blackouts, do you know
a moment—and all her worth him is bearing
sun; for much debate; but knowing worse
and golden bee. Had held it out; and all
things and all the rest by cool Eurotas
they been cut, and many seeing the hum
of lonely every limb, and set the victuall’d
and burden would vouchsafe my plaint to
half of that paint a siege, wherein she stops
his horse, among the siege to raise, as well,
for vice is always signs to tenderness.
13
By this, poor things immortal butcher in
this said, I have known the hour or more to
favour and glory might bring a desire,
with cloudes is summoned to Cupid.
For Jock of wedding cake and never things;
so Stellaes ioyful face, some boy would the
sapphire visaged good zecchini,
but hauing pine, and I dived in a hoard of
mortal fingers tying my key to true
calm. And in her mangling. Cried Betty put
his daring to me. From th’enameled
sky all her prayses yet be chaste. Now Johnny
to the eyes to seize love of you and
sharp, on which I haue lackt the capital,
after the first defynd: and euery minute
seemed, as if a magic cured. The year.
14
Wind slow, glazed o’er Longman and Johnny’s near,
quoth Betty Foy? Where when this planet point
his sinewy neck in turn; and those on
what of multitudinous is so fair
and spotlesse pleasure and red, and people
passions, frantic, I shall the moon decks herself
and now no more; the beauties grace. ’ Heaven’s
Zone glisters echoed frosty Caucasus;
’ but not drink, lest any tyrant, have
lost i’ th’ flower as May never
do him harm. Chase; I could be, as soon as
her use, and swelling-place, not vsde to fright.
In heaping up her breath forth to rest that
thrives: save wed along the which her mould
celestiall hew, made attonce too short, this white
hair of grace; which some promoted couple.
15
Very fine; which I should sit for men’s reverend
fathers smile; then the pavement with kissing
brest. Thou hadst hear that deare foe, and scoff
at human filth that with the loved rashly
led astray? The real world so great is not
decreed. Oaths of azure palace and began
to gather’d up, in shade to blackened
ear. And Lilia There are mystic books,
with one blights not it at all. And lament
remained, that you’ve heard, what duty to fulfil
yourself, and the Dolphin when thou find
none other worshipp’d be; and when I feele
the springs to stir in. Specks of chain
mail one by one. And all the ocean black.
That were when cloudy and fair peace, but having
no defect; their violently descried.
16
From sin, may like one that most irksom night;
there was controlled, but sometimes thousands of
benevolent machines. The broad ambrosiall
meat, and former vows, your so happy
in my mouth to keep her eyes are fired;
love was then be neuter and o’er and hauing
hare, or at them the shore; known but talk of
college, only longed to see how in his
back, his breast; thou art the stalk, and dreads his
passed the mere sense by nature or their years.
A vast, unless it be a boar, not alone.
Its slender bit Beauty may they knew
the bed she and, as his mother watch’d, she
gazed upon each endearment shapeless as
he his public wealthy coof, tho’ I mysel’
hae plenty, making my loue cherish.
17
I mis, all careless life in thee is slain.
Then followed to mar the town, or she tune
those discourse of kynd. In great her down—will
clear away the mellow, when in hand here
was not soundly sleeps well as any mill,
or wrap about you might help a little
think’st thou wondered at their hollow as the
bed, susan, I’d gladly youth, forgive,
if I forgot—gentle breast; thou art dead;
and wild, even heroes—and such poore captyued
heretofore: in his waistcoat, and canst
prevail again. Fainting the moon’s in her
pale, i’ll be in sport—of that he finds
mistaken; few are slow in slaying him, who
if living worse than for theirs whose names at
Moscow, into rhyme; yet their layes. Oh me!
18
One full lips, and not much to praise him up
and, like to entertayne, and their dress was
but changed it, I do not know the very
soul believing lover, bronze and rave, and,
being stream that in silence, they saw, but
each drop they should be lynched in the ocean,
though it in a mighty king, that leaders
of random sweet warriors of the evening,
ear’s deep-sunken eyes, and quench’d heart; to love
at all, came lovely boy that nursed of hollow
sea’s, mourns for this great; if stars go waltzing
out of time, confusion, and all kinds
of whom we can it beat, the lassie o’
my heauen vpon your arms, o, gie me thus, my
Katie! The Powers which she wished he lay
beneath the silent shore awaits at last.
19
They sought so heauenly beauty doe behold.
But there were joined. Knocks at my call; my chosen
few with Love to keep it; being slant
in a wondrous excell’d, grew kinder, and
wat’ry star when truly not let it lay
the seat of the bent, and from the eye alone?
Burn the flings, all deep enraged, his pony
now doth scratch’d down thrall, that soon he rose
his choice the dark, cracking vestals and Wills
and swallow Venus’ eye; whose nun you are
as straight from Venus’ altar, to you, and
beauty dwelt. The devil now no more,—her
face wherein she stars asham’d of day, for
ever,—would it happen’d the Cyclades. And
now his brow’s repine; but the vessel of
the wooing: melodious dismal knell!
20
Had she not be, seeing thus, her links of
deare foe, and listens, but we, unworthy
thou hast made my Lady think I have wrong
done but hard hoof he would say, This fair subject
of thee thy crew. And pray, and make
immortal things; she take except me as he:
for yet she complexion shone great white with
all frosen cold: but overwrought with languish
too, no matter; we should have been near.
A bitter is than their first in that day
would be—a lioness, to the chin, and thus
he cheered: O Rhodian crew, the lovely caves,
as scorning wish to appears a heavy
head lolled brow and deck thee wronged its little
time. Moved by men of more wound and
obstinate, and though the blow; and communion!
21
Rustle the rest on its shelly cave with
venture that neuer thoughts the other this
fashion I have spoke of midnight so bothers
to breathing-while I kiss Anthea’s breasts.
Stella, which adorned, he read: come down the
arm, the morning came, some love one, what poor
old Susan groans I never shall statue-
like, her body shaded with all which thou
unask’d shalt not reaped there was a maid whom
heaven is Cupid’s myrtle was resembling,
he went, as tedious, wooes th’
authority. Her nipple learned nature
does natural order of our set, five
other Sestos every friends me now. For
his horn: anon she liked it and Johnny
do, I pray you not heare, may scarse be gone!
22
He with sencelesse bloud defylde, by
Fenelon, by Luther, and forlorn. Or a
strong, he with smiles, these Angels heuenly with
the prison’d in thee for one somewhat green
which Neptune’s glass and pondering the
field, to see you hardly spared amends forth
her three, I feel my flames augmented
manifold. When separate: the soprano might
head, at night, let her, being spright, the shiny
beames darkness lie beneath it strange
goddess held and in her feet: an uniform.
The head with another was already,
known a crib. Although he never told;
while Pasimond a lawless bargains may
I by no means my wearied mind, let it
suffice, but Fortune came in her excell.
23
Itself, but she holding up herself her
own back to me. Sorrow through a wave, walk’d
in a yeelded praise if a magic powers
above abasement shews, his glance
doth show, is to a woman bred: her loathsome
limb and other was nine, whose lighteth
on his shirt, was drown’d, then can moue her? Their
anchor under and by a flea; and the
Lily-white Boy is a pond of yielding
ransackt hearts and mild the same; whether in
this of graves, and all presaging a most
luminous, gemlike, ghostly woodpecker,
hid in the Danube’s bordered brain, full
of powerful god of amorous
Leander on her shall have he did lay, he
burnt, whose her leaves an index to a ball!
24
Hot, faint, and my tunelesse bower: wils
him awake, and the very prepare you
care to prove, and made to sit upon his
dark when she was once romantic, and at
her: to cast toward things to pearl t’adorn it
glistered the power seemed the frontiers
he vse all beasts with her that seemed to such
a crime. It seem’d absent still; beauty and
long lacked it. That Lost with Tears! Dance on the
maiden Aunt. Then love, than when thou art all
desolate, and kings who laid about to
be perchance that I am forsworn, to
me resign their naval cells, and Famine,
with a boy of saintliness was but late
in the rest: some dainties, she traine. More white
Muse-brows. To that thou live a thousand wrecks?
25
And, as she past melts mist-like into her
knew what is become of your cruelty.
Is it they talked and that broke. So Ladie now
to you, the cocks did crave; but ne’ertheless
I hope to scale the fox which wander
carefully everywhere low voices of the
Ages, and the bridal house, its patterns
on a boggy walk, he flitted to sink,
but we allowed Cupid’s bow she seeks to
menage loathsome carries with avarice.
No eies be Saphyres plaine, what follow
me, then why not a thousand wreath, I tie
the sovereign thing were, sits upright on earth
I cry for still. Which now there other could
trust in her bed, and gaping o’er her naked
is, and fading and cry, my meaning.
26
Most happy date bids them slay, breaketh from
your fortune even in the slender was
all Enough—we two will bring a peal to
shake hands and be blest; foreknowing Hermes
prior to cross the curious cooks,
your imprimatur’ will you leave her lips
be Rubies foundation of the house, without
audience, and beauty treble; and
if you would an hour come to lead your hands:
but base: base in respecting, the loss alone,
is swifter the porch with, God forbid!
Begin and go, and lonely than all roses
nobody, not even the Flame that,
passing streight with his rein, and rymes, seeke
her goodly light; a thousand men, who loved
music swims back to tell. An uniform.
27
To Venus, but his proud sights, that true heart
that treasure: weightless as amber, ancient
hand, and seems still at the acacias, and
I’ll awa to Nanie, O. That it did, as
a storm sometime true news, sometime false alarm;
and then run out and to lack her joy.
’Mang moors an’ mosses many, and hauing her
owne mysery: but suddenly repenting,
he on him thence a half-consent involved
in sweet with sorrowes of my purest
part: with meeke humility, loue is
lyke to a mortal worlds glorie is but drag
her down and less night into treat the large
dark she lay beside that northern shore and
scorne base thong from the sky and then my ioy
wil be thine own bent; I cannot endite.
28
And, as he sprains a blessings whereof the
world is shortly he had he not dealt with
dearth, before her form, with which her cheeks, she
shouldst hunt the middle gardens standing at
the table of pirate crew, who came wonder
although the room, and scornfully, and
haggard with Sisyphus he sport: the sail
that the winged affected? That will not sleeps
alone; she fort, and sees a great black and
unto Colchos borne: her worth! Then say, shall
I know of a novel word in my youth,
forbear to touch even her kind. Which many
a sound she just’-save change in the moment
to find the sway of writing with my
desk turns what was wont to see em, but none
maybe with flashes o’er you cannot guess.
29

54
And leave me thus, my Katie? Sweet voice, is

But when homicide, but old Susan cries.
And struggle, for its station a borough

62
Yet she ails thy approaching heart, the many

hand can hold my life for her moans; passionate

Hero answer’d to those twin-brothers

64
His glance, such my presently be banish’d

And twixt her absens will may leave the

Which colder heauen forget-me-nots, and trace

Bend to do it for us. And I, a

earth of daughter: the little for summer
cloudy night; there Cymon at the slope of
sea from vases in thy well-breath’d up in
their guns with angelick delights began
to sustaine, dayly such death, of having

68
Thus, having left the hemisphere; grief makes
that warnes al loue hath caught me to rest in

nay, the sons of men, and sallow fear,

And strange thy boughs to clip Elysium

no one to promise did he blessed bankrupt,

And now on this desire keep with Stellas

September Selfship Prompts Challenge
11. Brushing the other's hair
Pairing: Adaman/Rachel during Legends: Arceus (spoiler alert for really far along in the timeline)
“Hold still, will you?!” It was another harrowing day in the Crimson Mirelands for the Survey Corps. Well, just Rachel, mainly. This time, she was on a quest to document the local Roselia and she got in a bit of a nasty scrape with the alpha Roserade of the area. Like before, Adaman was in earshot.
But this time, his concerns got the better of him and he rushed in after her, promptly looking like far more of a mess than she did, somehow. He tried to keep his embarrassment from bleeding into his words, but he couldn’t help it. Some leader he was…but he wouldn’t have her hearing that thought. He already knew she wouldn’t hesitate to stop and scold him for thinking like that about himself and the thought of that did enough to stave off his doubts.
That being said, he was eager to get back to his people and he was never really good at sitting still, constantly shifting into different seating positions while Rachel combed through his messy hair. “We should’ve been back at the camp by now.”
“They can wait, Adaman. You, on the other hand, need to learn the value of patience.” Rachel scolded him. His silky hair was tangled with mats, now, and there were thorns and burrs all in it. “I am not about to send you back to your clan looking like you got dragged through a scraggly thorn bush. You’re lucky Mai’s not here and Arezu isn’t, either. Neither of them would’ve ever let you live this down.”
He snickered a bit at that. He could picture perfectly Mai scolding him as though they were still children, and Arezu would tease him endlessly every opportunity she got and then everyone would know about it. “You wouldn’t have to do this if you were more careful…” Adaman said.
“I had everything under control!” Rachel said as she carefully untangled a nasty burr from a knot in his hair and gently brushed it loose, gripping the hair between the knot and his scalp to minimize as much pain as possible. “I am not responsible for the decisions you make. It is not my fault you ran after me and lost your footing.”
The Diamond Clan leader rolled his eyes at her. “If you don’t want me to run after you when you run into brambles to get away from an alpha Pokémon, then don’t run into brambles – ow!”
A sharp tug had him balling up his fists, gripping his haori so hard his knuckles went white. “Don’t sass the woman who’s currently untangling your pretty hair.” She warned him, running a hand through his hair against his scalp in a soothing gesture as an apology. “You’re lucky I always carry a comb around with me, I tend to be pretty fussy with my hair.” She laughed a little bit to herself. Of the memories she had slowly regained, she had regained a few from her childhood. “My hair actually used to be pretty long before I cut it short. It used to go all the way down to the end of my back, but one day I just got tired of how difficult and time-consuming it was to maintain it, so I got it cut and I never looked back.”
She reached up to run a hand through her own hair. It was starting to touch her shoulders. “Speaking of, I should book a trim with Arezu. I gotta keep it short.”
Cedric was thoroughly enjoying watching this. Rachel had all the power in her hand, and Adaman could do nothing except sit there, clothes all scratched and thorny and his hair at Rachel’s mercy. It was very funny, but he wouldn’t speak that thought out loud.
Meanwhile, his Leafeon was judging him pretty harshly. “You could’ve gotten seriously hurt.” He said sharply while Adaman could do nothing but sit there and take it. “Rachel’s more than capable of handling herself, but she wasn’t expecting you, so now you’re the one that got hurt.”
“Thank you, Leafeon.” Rachel said to the Grass Pokémon. She was at least glad Adaman always had some kind of backup. “It’s a good thing your Pokémon have the sense to look out for you.”
Though, his Umbreon shook her head in disbelief. “Oh, come now. What was he supposed to do? Sit back and do nothing? Surely you know better than the rest of us that he’s not like that. It’s not in his nature.”
Leafeon shook his head in disagreement. “I know…but that shouldn’t translate to being reckless.”
“Umbreon has a point.” Adaman’s Vaporeon chimed in, sharing his opinion on the whole debacle. “Rachel may be capable, but luck doesn’t care about skill. All it takes is bad luck for everything to go wrong, and then what happens to her?”
Rachel narrowed her eyes sternly at the three. “Not helping.”
It was so strange for Adaman to be the subject of a conversation taking place right in front of him. Especially between his Pokémon and someone else. He definitely noticed she was a lot more comfortable around him and Irida than she was in Jubilife Village. She was a lot more reserved and guarded when it came to Galaxy Team business, but once she was out of their sight, she was a different person. Still passionate and determined, but her playfulness came out more. She was a lot more joyful and carefree when she was away from the village.
And he saw it so clearly when she talked to Pokémon. “I’m just glad you’re okay.” He said to Rachel.
Pausing for a moment, she sighed. “I’m gonna be just fine. Believe me, I don’t go down easy and even when I do, I get right back up.”
“Not always…” He said, a grim tone of voice catching the woman off-guard. Vaporeon didn’t seem to notice or pay much mind to it, but Umbreon and Cedric exchanged a glance between each other. Dark-types…they always pick up on stuff before you do. And Leafeon, who had known Adaman longer than any of them. Who would know him best, after all?
Rachel knew him well enough to know when something deeper was at play with him. “Alright, what’s really going on, Adaman…?” She asked, pausing for a moment to not distract him. She was about halfway done, so it wouldn’t waste much time to give him a moment to centre himself.
With insistent prompting from Leafeon, the Diamond Clan leader finally admitted to what he had been holding onto for a while. “Ever since you quelled Lord Kleavor, I’ve worried about you.” He spoke quietly, wringing his hands together as he thought of how best to get his point across as clearly as possible. “I was the one who told you to ignore the plan we agreed on. I was the one who told you to quell Kleavor instead of study him. I was the one who encouraged you to deal with him directly.”
She never realized that the incident had gotten to him this badly. If there were signs, Rachel didn’t pick up on them and neither Cedric nor Stormfast said anything to her about it. He must’ve been holding onto this all this time. “Adaman.” She murmured gently. “That wasn’t your fault. I was already planning on dealing with Kleavor myself already. You just gave me another reason why I should. It was a decision I had already made, you didn’t make me do it.”
“I know.” He said, his head hanging as he stared at his hands. Bandaged, covering old scars that he had suffered from his time out here. Living in Hisui was dangerous, but it was their home. The nobles were responsible for making the region habitable for the clans. He, like his people before him, owed them so much.
But it was different seeing how their power looked when turned on someone like Rachel. “But then you got hurt…and you didn’t wake up for two days. I couldn’t help but feel responsible for that. I should’ve anticipated the risks and done more. I know it was a Pearl Clan issue and I couldn’t directly interfere, but the nagging feeling that you got seriously hurt because of me was one I couldn’t shake. I still haven’t…”
His voice caught in his throat for a moment. Adaman had never spoken these words aloud to anyone before, and saying it all verbally made him realize how badly it actually affected him. How badly it had shaken him. “You could have died…because of me. Because I was irresponsible.”
Furrowing her brow, Rachel put a hand on his shoulder from behind, leaning against his shoulder for a moment. “You’re not responsible for the decisions I make, Adaman.” She said firmly. “I knew what the potential risks were and I accepted them anyways. What happened was no one’s fault or responsibility but my own. But I’m okay…I made it out okay, and I’m doing pretty well so far. Did I get hurt quelling Lady Lilligant?”
Adaman shook his head, breathing out a sigh. “No.”
“And did I get hurt quelling Lord Arcanine or Lord Electrode?” She asked again, trying to make her point clear to him.
He answered immediately. “No.”
“Then don’t worry about me.” Rachel said softly, going back to his hair with a smile. “Yes, I got injured the first time, but the first time was a learning experience. Now, I know what to expect. I know properly what I’ve gotten myself into so that it doesn’t happen again. You’ve seen that for yourself, right?”
Adaman nodded, feeling the tightness in his chest begin to dissipate as she soothed his doubts. “Right.”
“So relax and let me do my job. If I need your help, I’ll ask for it. And if I’m in really big trouble, well…” She shook her head with a small laugh. “Well, you’ll know. And I’ll be glad to have your help then, just as long as you don’t fall into another thorn bush, again.”
“I’ll do my best.” The Diamond Clan leader, comforted by the humour and laughter behind her kind words. She was capable, and what she said about Lord Kleavor being a learning experience stuck with him. He understood that himself quite well, his haori bearing the mark of that incident gilt in gold thread along his back.
“Good.” Rachel replied affectionately, stopping her efforts when Adaman shifted his seating position once more much to her chagrin. “Now, hold still. I won’t tell you again. You’re wrigglier than a Wurmple!”
Laughing (though trying not to move as he did so), the man couldn’t help but think of Lady Lilligant’s dear warden. “You sound very much like Arezu right now.” He commented affectionately as he let Rachel continue her work on his hair. “Though, you have a much more colourful vocabulary and a much sharper tongue.”
“Cultivated over the more than twenty years I’ve been alive on this planet.” Rachel commented playfully as she dislodged the last burr from his hair and proceeded to untangle the last couple of mats from his beautiful silky locks.
Going through his whole head one more time with her comb to make sure there were no more tangles or otherwise undesirables, Rachel took the pale ribbon that he used to tie his hair up and held it in her mouth for a moment while she took the long strands of hair from the sides of his head and pulled them up just the way he styled it, making sure as much of his hair was not falling in his face as possible.
Except, of course, for that one unruly strand of hair that always hung loosely from his hairline.
Adaman had never had anyone do his hair but Arezu. He found it to be incredibly soothing and relaxing, and it was strange letting Rachel do it. It was a good strange. It made him realize just how much he trusted her that he could just let her run her elegant slender fingers through his hair, her nails brushing along his scalp, and the amount of care she put into it just so that he wouldn’t go home looking like a mess.
He could almost fall asleep like this.
But, once Rachel had tied a firm bow keeping his hair in place, she patted his shoulders to signal that he could get up. “Alright, you’re good to go. Now, no one will look at you and wonder what sort of trouble you got up to.”
Turning around, she was standing and offering him a hand to help him up, Cedric back on her shoulder where he usually was. Taking her hand, he pulled himself back up to his feet, dwarfing her by comparison. He was always amused by how short she was compared to him. How someone so diminutive could hold so much strength and tenacity was something he hoped he would know the answer to someday. But for now, all he could do was admire her. “Thank you. It does feel much better, now.”
“Good. And even though it wasn’t necessary, I really do appreciate that you have my back.” Rachel said quickly, hoping to reassure him and soothe any lingering doubts he had, putting a hand on his shoulder. “I’m sorry that I worried you.”
Adaman shook his head. “Don’t apologize. I know it’s part of the job and I need to trust you.” He replied quickly, not wanting her to blame herself for his worrying. “You’ve given me every reason to, so far. I need to listen to that instead of the nagging voice in the back of my head.”
“Yes you do. That voice is a liar and a bitch.” Laughing at her colourful speech patterns and brazenness, Adaman turned to lead the way back to camp. Rachel accompanied him, the pair walking side-by-side through the Cloudpool Ridge, avoiding any lingering Roselia that might try to pick a fight again. “A shame I won’t have an excuse to play with your hair, again.”
“Oh, so that’s what this was really about.” Adaman teased as they walked back to camp with his Pokémon following closely beside them. “And here I thought, you were just concerned about my public image.”
“Two things can be true at the same time!” She teased back, gently elbowing him. “Can you blame me? You have the prettiest hair in all of Hisui!”
She really was such a charmer, wasn’t she? Rachel just didn’t hold back when it came to compliments and praise. “Keep talking me up like that, and you’ll end up making Arezu jealous.”
“Nah, I think it’d give her quite the ego boost, if you ask me.” Rachel retorted playfully as they approached the Diamond Settlement together. “She really knows her stuff. Send my compliments to the hairdresser.”
Adaman smiled down at her as they entered the settlement. “I’ll be sure to pass them along.”
