Kiori accepted her advances, part of her worried that he would fight, possibly since it really was too sudden that maybe his ingrained instincts would cause him the lash without thought and yet none of that happened. Instead he actually pulled Rylee further into his arms it wouldn't wrong to say she was surprised, that said a powerful sense of relief washed over her. One this showed he especially forgave her transgressions from earlier, and of course feeling legitimate love from another person by itself brought comfort. While Kiori couldn't see it, Rylee was smiling, the first true smile towards her friend for the over the last decade, just a soft one that slightly curled her lips upwards. In conclusion given all that's happened this was the high point of her week. 

While Rylee was the one who initiated the act, Kiori was the one who had to end it, she was also disappointed to see those minutes gone, she also could tell he almost felt the same way. When Kiori backed away she didn't say anything, the man needed some time to piece his mind back together it was only both polite and helpful to give him that time. Rylee herself was considering what they should do next, there wasn't a solid way forward, too many options lead to death either by an trained assassin or otherwise. One thing was certain however, from that point forward she had to do whatever she could to help Kiori learn to live again, it was painfully clear that they had more problems than the literal, physical ones before them. What life could her dearest friend live if he couldn't enjoy it in the slightest? 

Finally the assassin spoke, this drew Rylee from the depths of her mind to put forth her attention on what he was about to say. She nodded constantly throughout his explanation, his plan honestly didn't deviate much from their other ideas, although this time it was a lot more direct. "Well... we sort of have to keep the core of this plan, I don't see any other way around our supply situation. My concern is even telling the villagers you were an assassin wouldn't fly. What if we instead keep our identities secret, from now to then I'm sure we can brainstorm some convincing back stories. Also, are you sure the Guild wouldn't punish whatever village we decide to hide in regardless if they cooperate, I imagine there are more then just a few vengeful men in charge back 'home.'"

Rylee stopped for a moment, thinking on the spot can be hard at times, "We could just keep on very high alert, we, and if not we then you, probably can detect when an assassin is getting close in one way or another. When we are found out I say we leave in a big way, try to draw so much attention that the assassin would have to pursue us right then and there, maybe that would prevent the village from become more involved due to investigations from that same assassin." 

Rylee stopped again, this time she stared at the ground for a few moments before facing Kiori again, "Also... I know what I said earlier your... uh level of sociability, well I believe with a bit of work we could improve that. Remember when we were kids, you used to be so full of life, right? We can get that back, and I [i]will[/i] be here for long as it takes, be it if you need someone to talk to, or even another for hug, or hell if you need me to kiss you I'll do it!" Rylee reached forward to lay an arm across Kiori's back to land a few strong pats, "Kio, I am with you forever, you will not be abandoned, and I will not die, that is my promise."
