It was quite strange to see Kijani flustered, more So to have her not being guarded in the things she said. Unburdened, even slightly, from her past, Kijani seemed more...open. 

As she explained how she could fly, eagerly saying what she had accomplished and what she thought could be done, Connor watched her, and so caught the moment she realized what she had said. Perhaps she might have seen the quick jolt that took him at her words, but her own reaction to them seemed to be one of utter shock, and...it wasn't regret...was it fear?

It wouldn't surprise Connor if Kijani had never spoken words of love before, to anyone. But sometimes that made the thing more pure, even if it was more frightening. 

So Connor did the only thing he could to reassure her. He took her in his arms, kissing her softly, "why fear Love? Why fear it won't be reciprocated? Face it, my dear, you are stuck with me." 

It was, quite probably, cheesy, but since when has that bothered Connor?
