[b][u]Karras, Jun'Krama[/u][/b] He was going to make a outburst right back at her but he stopped himself and lowered the finger he was raising and then just shrugged. [i]I deserved that...[/i] Okay these people respect their women a lot more and don't talk like he did. He would have to get used to that if this relationship was going to continue. Would bite if this friendly confrontation turned to a outright fight. He sighed and nodded to her accepting her terms. If he had to be more politely and talk so bluntly he would for the sake of his people. He deserved every bit of her wrath. He was a little nervous when she rose up the way she did ,but it was not as bad as he expected. What happened to Ailen was a bit surprising. Did women like the type of stuff he said. He did kind of defend them in a way in the elevator. He smirked, and felt now Ailen owed him. He knew the man liked the new Leader but he had no balls to say it. Maybe a cheesy compliment or two perhaps ,but no woman would respect a coward. That's why he stood up and took the blame partially. Not for Ailen's sake.... fuck him for all he knew. He stood up for his actions cause that would be what a man would do. The girly boys of this tower might let someone take the fall for what they did or said but a real man takes responsibility for his actions. [b][u]Ailen[/u][/b] If Ailen's face was red in the elevator from the embarrassing question in the elevator it was even more so now. He did not know how to take what just happened. When she approached and rose he expected the same treatment as she gave to Tristan or the idiot in that transport that brought her here. Even more so when she grabbed his color and lifted it. He even closed his eyes to brace for the impact or what she would throw at him. What he did not expect was to feel her soft lips against his and the following words. [i]"You will have dinner with me tonight"[/i] He stood there frozen still even after she lowered herself and went back to her chair. His fingers touching his lips. [i]What?,... no this is not happening, I must have passed out on my way up the elevator or something. She did not just kiss me.[/i] He thought. He pinched his arm with his metallic arm and felt he did not wake. [i]No this is real, she kissed me, but why? I said nothing in the elevator that would warrant a kiss....right?[/i] He thought scratching the side of his head and tapping his chin. [i]No I did not, all I said was such things were not openingly said the way he said it to him. Something like that would not move 'her' in that way. Was it defending female's in general. No it shouldn't have. It wasn't even that good of a line. It was lame and yet she kissed him and wanted to eat dinner with him.[/i] His eyes going to her and he thought even deeper. [i]She must be planning a even bigger punishment. She is going to sneak something spicey in his food or something. No way is this actually happening.[/i] He shook his head a little more worried then he was coming up the stairs. His arm did not ache anymore though,... weird. She just kissed him that's it. No magic at all. At least I did not feel any magic, unless she is that good at hiding it. He simply moved back to his seat to find that basic still loading files to the computer and into the drive. He then looked to see his file back on the pile and looked back to her. She read it?... was that why she kissed him? Pity?... no from what he saw, she did not pity anyone. Well unless that person warmed up to her in a certain way. He made her laugh here and there but nothing big. The wine wasn't that strong so she wouldn't be feeling its effects. He shook his head again. Best get back to duties and do something. Get his mind off of it. Wonder what kind of food she will serve. He never went on a date... never had time for it. Why he always shrugged it off when the women didn't care for his compliments. Why the fuck was he so special to her. One moment she tells me she has no time for such crap and then next thing she kisses me? The line is said back there wasn't even that good. Pretty flower was cheesy as hell and would make the common woman just roll her eyes. Then again Silvia was different and not like most women. He began to feel weird now as well. He looked back to his folder and then pulled his crystal out. [i]This is your doing isn't it Ellaina... even after death you take care of your older brother.[/i] He sighed and then looked back to Karras almost forgeting him. "Sorry forgot all about what went on... so are you pleased with the shipments in schedule?" Karras nodded and smiled. The man acted like he got hit with a stick or something. There was a term the tower people used he couldn't think it. Love maybe. I mean he himself did fancy certain women in the village more then the others. Who wants to mate with a women whose features are something you want to barf at. "Yeah,.. everything is fine. Um you don't need me for anything more,... I will see my way out. Don't worry I remember the way out." He said. He left the room and entered the elevator taking it down. Ailen just nodded and sighed. Placing his hands at his side. Well shit now what do I do.....
