Rose wavered where she stood, unsure of how to proceed. There was the exit, right there, from this bubbling chaotic mess that was the cancelled wedding of Adrian and Maggie and she had been cleared to leave by the intimidating combined force that was Odette MacFarlan and Tony Chang, but--- she bit her lip, feeling incredibly guilty just thinking this--- Octavius was over there as well, and she didn't quite feel brave enough to even potentially approach him yet.

How horrid was that, she was horrid, a spineless little--- tart! She was a right tart for basically ignoring him, and she hadn't meant for it to be like that, but after not immediately responding to his owl, the black hole that was friday and saturday happened and-- she felt completely ashamed for her actions, and wished more than anything that---

"Knightley!"

Rose's eyes rounded wide at the sharp call of her name, and it felt like her heart had skipped too many beats to be good. How could one person possibly make that loud of an echo? Her gaze automatically targeted the betrayer, and she was met what could only be described as a playfully cruel smile plastered across Carys Llewellyns smug face. Rose watched in sheer horror as Carys gave the tiniest of waves before wrapping her arm around Drake Parkin (who also looked far too satisfied to be innocent) before walking out of the vicinity. She was going to kill Carys. That was the last time she ever told her teammate anything under the pretense of---

A sudden touch frightened her for a moment, and died only slightly when Rose realized who the hand belonged to. Wobbling in her heels, her leg rested against the pew for support. Merlin knew she needed it.

"Hi," she said faintly, feeling her throat promptly close up at the proximity of Octavius Pepper.

Octavius blinked rapidly, unsure his ears were still working properly—they might still be lagging several steps behind the rest of him, right? She wanted to try this again. What again? Them again? That was what she had meant? He took her words at face value while the rest of his mind scrambled over itself to go from the wedding hall to outside and the conversation that had taken place, because he'd been certain she was telling him now, and he must have missed something. She's gone from silence to that Magpies seeker chasing them out, to out here and—Did he want to try this again? He was quite certain the answer was yes, which was why Octavius had been acting so obsessive.

There was definitely potential for it to go bottom-up. It might even be an ugly break up this time, if it didn't work out. But one never knew until it was tried, wasn't that what everyone said? They'd had a bit of shaky start there, but Octavius still couldn't shake the feeling that this…this was—promising. That was a good word for it.

"Yeah," he nodded and even laughed a little, brushing the back of his hand against his cheek. "I'm quite certain I do."

Really?

While Octavius had made it quite clear about how he felt, his response still took her by surprise. She just hadn't thought he would agree? To something so official. Especially with how she had been acting.... it didn't matter, now. What mattered now was this wonderful wizard standing before her that had just agreed to a second chance and she didn't know why she had been so difficult--- it was good. Even though it made her nervous! But it was a different kind of nervous, a good one that didn't make her light-headed or unconscious but almost excited. It was new... maybe that only happened because they had dated before and---

She needed to stop.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Rose let her face, and her body, warm up substantially at his touch. Her chin dipped a little, and a small smile appeared on her lips. "Okay," she sighed happily, feeling as if a large amount of weight had finally been lifted from her shoulders. No need to think about the potential issues that could be brought up later from this revival. They would just... deal with them. Later.

"You know," Rose started, replacing her hand back in his. "My brother told me the funniest story yesterday after they discharged me. Something about a fan trying to impostor him?" She pressed her lips together in an amused manner. Now it was funny. Leaning over, she kissed Octavius, pulling away only slightly in between kisses to finish her sentence. "He was very honored."
