[fallingleaf]

... You seem very concerned suddenly, and while I appreciate it... I don't entirely understand why.

[ he says simply, thoughtful ]

I thought I would at least ask.

[faezel]

[ sigh. ]

I meant what I said about you being young and inexperienced. How I want to look out for you and teach you what I can. But your intuition is correct - there is something on top of this.

I ... ran into Ruby's brother in the pool. I learned some things, which has amplified my concern and care of you. In regards to that entire situation.

[fallingleaf]

Ah...

[ he exhales, ]

I'm aware of at least some of it. And that he is extremely overprotective, as a brother.

[ but he does not have siblings. ]

[faezel]

That might be putting it lightly.

[ she looks at him. ]

It's not my business. But please don't be afraid to call on me if you need me, okay?

[fallingleaf]

If ever I get overwhelmed, you will be the first person I reach out to.

[ to the pool! ]

[faezel]

I'm happy to hear that.

[ for now, she feels relieved. she slips into the changing area to put on a black rental bikini before she returns to the pool, sitting at the water's edge. ]

[fallingleaf]

[ back at the scene of the crime-- but no, he doesn't want to go into the water for now, though upon watching her, he will accept it and get a swimming suit for him. the double marked spots on his neck are a lot more apparent, now.

And he's just going to sit at the edge, feet in the water. and sigh. wistful. ]

[faezel]

[ she leans her head on his shoulder. ]

Mmm, this is nice.

[fallingleaf]

Mm.

It is, with you here with me. It makes it easier to forget that this is just a pool, and not a pond.

[faezel]

Aww, that's a nice sentiment.

[fallingleaf]

Mm.

[ a brief pause, as he debates with himself, turning down to look at her leaning against him ]

[faezel]

[ she gazes back at him ... part of her wants to ask if something is on his mind, but the other part of her wants to wait to see if he's going to do or say something first. ]

[fallingleaf]

[ nothing is quite on his mind, just an impulsive thought.

That he decides to follow by leaning in to kiss her softly ]

[faezel]

[ ah ... this is nice. gently, she kisses him back. ]

[fallingleaf]

[ it is, it was an impulsive thought, and after smiling into the kiss, he pulls back. ]

There were things I still wanted to ask you. If you’re willing to continue, after leaving.

[faezel]

Oh? Like what...?

[fallingleaf]

[ he considers, but kisses her again instead of asking questions for now.

Why not the both? ]

[faezel]

Kazuha...! [ she giggles against his lips! and breaks apart briefly. ] Do you want to ask me now, or...? After this? [ whatever "this" is! ]

[fallingleaf]

I’m working up the courage to ask.

[ he admits sheepishly ]

[faezel]

[ SHE LOOKS SLIGHTLY ALARMED, ]

Oh! ... I see ... [ um ... ] Well, take as long as you need, okay...?

[fallingleaf]

[ he laughs and kisses her briefly, ]

It’s nothing that serious. Just… I suppose I would want guidance.

[faezel]

You know I'm more than happy to give you that. [ she places her hand on his leg and strokes soothingly. ] Just let me know when, okay?

[fallingleaf]

Hmm.

Well… your last story made me think of the time I wanted to hurt people…

It was a lot more popular than I was expecting.

[faezel]

I see...! Yeah, you never know just by looking at someone what their sexual preferences are. There may be a lot of hidden masochists in the crowd. [ like her! ]

[fallingleaf]

I noticed.

I fell asleep in the hot springs after it, actually.
