"Valkyrie," China says evenly, the smallest of smiles tugging about the edge of her lips, "This is not a criticism, just a casual sort of question, formed through curiosity alone."
"Yes, China?" asks Valkyrie warily, lifting her head up to give the most beautiful woman in the world a steady gaze, or as steady a gaze as she can muster up, which, admittedly, bears more of a mark of lovestruck than particularly steady.
China nods calmly, gathering her thoughts around her and rearranging them like they are books on a shelf in her library. "Is there any particular reason why you were wearing a jacket by way of upper-body clothing and absolutely nothing else?"
Valkyrie stares at her lover, mouth agape. She blinks several times, attempting to form words, or even to gain some semblance of coherence. She fails miserably at this endeavor, of course, as coherence really isn't in the mood to help her out. She blinks yet more, still speechless, and then she buries her face in her arms, which are folded over her legs.
China Sorrows looks on, mouth twitching at this display of complete and utter shock, and finally, she cannot help but to laugh merrily.
A/N: Yuri makes the world go round.
