AFTER DINNER | RIONA & RYUN | KITCHEN (OPEN)
As Ryun's hand covered hers, and she looked up, their eyes locked and held. There weren't words for a few seconds, and the way he looked at her, the soft touch on her hand, had her heart fluttering in her breast. His timid smile had her smiling softly too as they both looked away, Ryun speaking to tell her he would wash and she could dry. She did not argue as she moved around him, to pick up a dish towel. She took a moment to kick off her heels in the corner of the kitchen, making her a good few inches shorter then her companion now. Her stockinged feet made no noise as she rejoined him at the sink, settling beside him, smiling at him as he spoke. Until he added that perhaps she wanted someone to keep her company. Knowing he was speaking of Kwan, she felt the heat flood her cheeks.
She was not used to her personal life being so public. When she and Kwan had started their 'relationship' it hadn't been labeled as such and had been very private. Of course there were rumors, but neither had confirmed them, and had even denied them several times for a while. It had been known by too many people to stay completely quiet however, even without them confirming anything. And since being here and Kwan's refusal to accept her brush off and her giving into her loneliness and desire for companionship, it seemed EVERYONE knew she was sleeping with Kwan. It frustrated the private kitsune.
"I don't mind everyone here," she said softly. "It's less lonely." Realizing what she said she hastily continued past her confession. "My roommate isn't here often," she amended, carefully avoiding his eyes.
