(Okay, Leanne is out right laughing at his fail attempts before reaching over to brush his hair out of his face, still laughing quite a bit.)

I am not one to lie.... I just happen to know how to get my way with you. (Once more attempting to look evil now.) And it has worked as I now have the mighty Raven king in my grasp. (Attempting evil laughter here. So evil now.)

[kingkilvas]

[He'd thank her if he wasn't currently being held captive.]

Yes, you do. You're the only one who knows my weakness, and now I'm not sure I can trust you with it. Listen to yourself! [Faking a sad look; failing because he's too busy laughing at her attempts, per usual.] What a shame it's come to this.

[Leanne, you're dangerously edging close to innuendo territory there.]

[song_princess]

(Mwahahaha! There is no escape from her.)

Its too bad and all too perfect for me. Oh but you can trust me all too well. (Cue in much more evil laughter at the fail sad look and his laughter. This... This is beyond perfect for her.

And what is innuendo, Naesala? Leanne has no idea what you are talking about.)

[kingkilvas]

I'll have none of your tricks. [He pretends to think out loud, staring up at the treetops.] Hmm. Perhaps I should go limp and play dead... It might be my only chance against this cunning villain.

[...Your innocence wins this round, young lady.]

[song_princess]

You won't will you~? We shall see about that. [She does a quieter evil laugh when he 'thinks out loud', also pretending not to hear his thoughts.] I am afraid that you are my prisoner..... Forever.

[Beorcs have not influenced her that way yet.]

[kingkilvas]

I suppose I have no choice...

[closes eyes]

[dramatically goes limp]

[goodbye cruel world]

[song_princess]

What is this?! It seems like my prisoner has died on me! But.... How can this be?! Who should I play my games on now?

[So woeful of this turn of events! She couldn't help but to giggle a little as she stares at him.

She does however pause briefly and blushes quite a bit. It still wasn't right, the woman making the first move but....

A hand is raised to tuck some hair behind her ear as she shifts closer. Okay, she can do this! Really she can! It won't be too awkward afterwords.... Right?

A small breath to steel herself before moving in to give Naesala a very light and gentle kiss on the lips.]

1/4

[kingkilvas]

[oh]

[that feels nice]

2/4

[kingkilvas]

[His eyes blink open after the initial contact, surprised. At her. And himself.]

3/4

[kingkilvas]

[that  s u r e  was a thing that happened]

4/4

[kingkilvas]

[ah shit]

[in the very resigned tone of "we can't"] Leanne...

Re: 4/4 Screw one very quick tag!

[song_princess]

(She pulls back, blushing even more, looking away at the tone.)

.... Yes, Naesala?

oh no Leanne not that face

[kingkilvas]

[He lifts one hand and runs it through his hair. From the situation instead of narcissism, for once.

The hand then slides down his face, and his answer is muffled.]

Leanne...you know we can't do this...

the face shall be used

[song_princess]

(She glances back at him when he speaks, face still bright pink from her deed.... But she tilts her head at him.)

Can't do what?

[kingkilvas]

[eyes still covered, voice still muffled] That, what you just did. Between us.

[that kissing thing, that romance thing, that thing you sprung on a guy who was just trying to play dead]

[song_princess]

[She made a mistake, didn't she? Perhaps there was a way to back peddle out of this situation. But.... Should she really give up?]

Why not? [Drooping her wings a little, moving to hide her face against him. Back peddle.... She must find a way to back peddle. Lets just keep asking questions until the solution opens itself up.]

[kingkilvas]

It's not...appropriate.

[He sighs, and pauses to see if he can try to explain without specifics. This is one thing he...really did not want to have to do.]

You woke up here, Leanne. You've no idea of the kinds of things that have happened at home - everything's changed. It's not right.

[song_princess]

[She pauses a moment, letting his words sink in a little before moving to look at him in the face.]

I know a lot of what has happened. Serenes has been telling me all that has been going on while I slept. Here or at home, it makes no difference where I have woken up. At home, I think that the same would have happened and whatever has happened at home is what the Goddess has ordained.

[Back to blushing again as she ponders on what to say next, moving off of him in order to sit down properly.]

But I do not believe that such a thing is wrong.

[kingkilvas]

[Naesala sits up, too. It's hard to argue your case when someone's on top of you.]

The forest doesn't know everything. [said under his breath; then it takes a minute or two for him to keep going] It's not that simple. Just because you think it's Goddess ordained doesn't mean anything in the long run.

It's one thing if we're still friends. [because goddess knows Reyson probably isn't, anymore] You deserve to be with someone who doesn't have the entire laguz race out to get him. You're better than that.

[song_princess]

[Not her fault that he are comfy to lay on.]

It knows enough.

[She goes to listen to his excuses and shakes her head.] But you don't have the entire laguz race after you. I am here so there is one less after you. [But she goes to puff up her cheeks at him.] And who gets to say who or what I deserve? I believe that I am the only one that can decide that.

[kingkilvas]

I have enough of them as enemies, and rightfully so. If Reyson and Tibarn were here they'd be arguing the exact same point.

And you're right. I can't dictate your life. But I can decide who I deserve, and it's not someone as pure as you. It never will be. [ruuubs his eyes she is making this so hard for him] Damn it, Leanne, if the forest spoke to you, why are you pushing for this?

[song_princess]

But they are not here and it wouldn't matter even if they are here.

[She goes to look away at his words with a sigh. Don't let him see your face for now. It will make everything much easier for now.]

So one as me will never be a passing thought in such a way? [Her wings droop at the last question and she lets out another sigh.] Because..... You are the one I love and have always been in love with....

[kingkilvas]

That's not....not what I meant. [He has a sigh of his own to match. Naesala's trying to put her off of the idea, not hurt her. She has to know.] Of course you're so much more to me than that.

[Closes his eyes. He always knew she had something for him, too, but it's so much more painful when said aloud. Just... One last ploy. Laying things out in the open.] Did it tell you how I used and betrayed your brother? Ruined an alliance years in the making? I'm willing to bet it doesn't know I delivered the hawks a death sentence on their entire country!

I put Kilvas first with every move I make. Even after all of that, you still feel this way? You still trust me?

[At this point, he just sounds...desperately confused? Certainly not angry, at least not toward Leanne. Because despite all his usual asshole posturing, he doesn't get it.]

[song_princess]

[She couldn't help but to look back towards him, a little surprise. She lifts one hand to rub at one eye before fully facing him again as he finally bares his soul to her.]

.....

[How to properly process all of this information. First things first, she reaches over to try and cup his face in her hands in order to to better study him.]

No, it hasn't told me these things. But.... The way you spoke of them when you first arrived, all of them made it out okay.

[A slow deep breath as she removes her hands and closes her eyes. He really wouldn't throw all that away though in the first place.... Would he? A long slow sigh as she finally goes to reopen her eyes after a long pause.]

I will not lie and say that it doesn't affect me. It does hurt, hurt a lot to hear those things from you but.... No, my feelings hasn't changed even hearing it and...

[A small smile towards him.] What a dumb question is that.... I still trust you just as my feelings are to you. Nothing has changed from before.

[kingkilvas]

[She's...so.....forgiving.

He shouldn't be surprised. Even back home, Leanne was just as sweet and forgiving as always. But she had time to prepare for his actions, to hear both sides of the story, to see him as a traitorous man. To sneak in unwanted soul readings and sense how conflicted he is on his shortcomings.

But he never did find out how she reacted to his betrayal of the hawks, before he left. Now he's blurted it out here like an idiot.

He still has to put Kilvas first. It's inevitable. He's still king and the pact mark remains on his wrist. And Leanne's here and she's young and too naive and she can only get so much of an impression of events from the forest and--

And he really, really loves her. Just like he always has. Nearly all the fight drains out of him when he looks up at her guilty and defeated, and says,]

I don't want you ending up hurt, Leanne.
