(9:54:22 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina frowns. "... THat's, like... super horrible. Beyond horrible." She grows a little cold, narrowing her eyes. "And, like, makes me like your sister even less."
(9:55:42 AM) Ikiryo: "She does that sort of stuff all the time. She doesn't trust anyone, so she always wants to keep tabs on them..."
(9:56:53 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina squeezes gently. "That's awful." she closes her eyes for a moemnt. "And, like, it'll end up being her downfall. 'cause, like, you know what? I trust you guys. Implicitly, and with, like, my life."
(9:57:45 AM) Ikiryo: "...I don't. I want to trust you all like that...but keep thinking I can't risk it..."
(9:59:42 AM) Alexa_Kalina: "I, like, understand." She squeezes again. "But I want you to know something, okay? IF you ask me to do something, I, like, will do it. I have not, like, given my loyalty easily. You can always trust me, Ainlinn. Always."
(10:00:28 AM) SpaceThor left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(10:01:41 AM) Ikiryo: "But...you..." She takes another deep breath. "Thanks."
(10:02:34 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina squeezes. "You're, like, welcome, Ainlinn. I'm here for you."
(10:03:31 AM) Ikiryo: She pauses for a moment, then hesitantly leans over to try and kiss Alexa.
(10:04:43 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina smiles, and kisses back, gently, letting Ainlinn lead.
(10:05:33 AM) Ikiryo: She kisses...to be honest, rather poorly. She's hesitant and jumpy, like she's expecting Alexa to bite her lips off.
(10:06:24 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina gently guides her through it... she's more well-read on the subject, and she's been practicing with Claire al ot... and she isn't going to bite anything without permission.
(10:07:09 AM) Ikiryo: She breaks the kiss after a few minutes "...I shouldn't have done that."
(10:09:00 AM) Alexa_Kalina: "Like, why not?"
(10:12:52 AM) Ikiryo: "...I...you could be trying to poison me or this could all be a plan to get my defences down or use me as a pawn or..." She takes another deep breath.
(10:16:15 AM) Alexa_Kalina: "It's not." She gently kisses Ainlinn's lips. "I, like, promise. On my life."
(10:16:18 AM) ***Alexa_Kalina means it, too.
