I don't know what prompted me to do that, it just happened. Perhaps it could've been from the tense moment our eyes created when we made direct contact at each other through the gaze. Otherwise, I must've had a good day to knowingly nod a greeting to everyone I saw.
It was a walk in haste, as I had other errands to run from Lord Thorval to Darion, when I saw you. Grip white on your runeblade, Byfrost, and quite a sexy scowl on your face that screamed masculinity. No doubt the same recruit struck you gloom and annoyed with their own problems in wielding the power that made his ghoul attack him, or something similar to that. I was confused, but only by a little, when you decided to walk through the route I was taking. Acherus was definitely big enough for you to take other routes to get to your destination, so why?
This also lead me to one hell of a brain wrecking question that gets my hopes up higher than squealing fan-girls when I fell for you: Did you walk that way because of me?
It's only a yes or no question yet I knew I would've wanted more from you if you chose either answer.
You walked past me, I nodded at you in slight greeting with a somber expression (that I always had since I became a Death Knight) that bore less than a little smile and, astonishingly to myself, you dropped the scowl and nodded back. Eyes closing when you dipped your head down a few angles below; you wouldn't have lowered it any further since you were a superior, and I respected that. Anyhow, I was fazed when that happened, and my steps to where Darion stood became hastier. I thought I also saw fresh scars and scraps on the uncovered parts of your body when I dashed past you in walking, a closer look never harmed anyone when you all live under the same compound and shared the same fate.
If I heard correctly, you did in-fact chuckle at whatever expression I wore later, bashful perhaps? That was embarrassing, not only because I nodded to a higher-up that probably made fun of me and that I showed emotion for it, also because I was stupid enough in the first place to even so much as glance at you longer than 2 seconds. And 2 seconds is actually quite long, depending on how you use it. Looking at Koltira Deathweaver with his handsome features, yeah, those 2 seconds felt like 2 hours, which didn't help me at all.
A weird feeling then cumulated in my gut, one that was warm and somewhat nice, although it contained an edge of unease to it. I liked it but was a familiar stranger to it at the same time. It felt like as if something that became dead was once again woken up inside of me. Affection? No, that was too much for what I experienced, even though I hardly remember one-tenth of that emotion. I was all right with that though, I was able to adapt quite quickly as a Death Knight anyway. This all happened when we were still in the grasp of the Lich King.
So that was what happened when I nodded at you, I felt feelings again.
