((XD I never watched that show, sorry Ferret. Though I rather pity Rem for his choice of action))
Startled by the sudden embrace, Laura froze for a moment when Rem hugged her. She almost looked like a deer in headlights by the expression on her face. There were no more tears save the first that caught Rem's attention, though after a few moments she became less tense beneath Rem's arm.
Unfortunately for the Lord, the woman didn't seem to understand how awkward Rem felt, or have any idea he was simply trying to be sympathetic. Resting her head against Rem's shoulder, Laura moved to embrace the man loosely around his middle. Finally falling silent without any more words to say.
Despite her silence, Laura's head was in a whirl as she returned the hug. Thinking that perhaps Rem might actually care for her. If that was true, or there was a glimmer of hope it could be true, she shouldn't cry any longer. Slowly, she gave a small smile, looking almost serene as she nestled against Rem.

Meanwhile, Rem was feeling rather pleased with himself. It had been a bit of a gamble, but Laura had stopped crying! That meant he was doing something right, right? And she was hugging him back! This was another good sign in Rem’s mind. To the noble, it just meant that the woman was accepting his friendly gesture for what it was: just a friendly gesture. He patted her on the back a few times before slowly backing away.
“What do you say that we go visit Nyhali?” he had hoped to see the woman sometime again soon… even Rem had an inkling that it wouldn’t be a good idea to mention his true motives and instead added, “We need to introduce Leolin to Tali.”
Well, once the baby gryphon woke up anyway. It wouldn’t do much good to have a sleeping baby gryphon meet his new ‘uncle’, right?

The confused woman's brow furrowed when Rem slipped out of her grasp, her expression one of confusion. Was he toying with her emotions, or was he simply that dense? Shaking her head, the woman decided to take the innitiative; hoping to make sure of Rem's intentions one way or another.
"He's sleeping." She murmured without a second thought or glance toward the small griffin. Unlike out in the yard where she'd simply teased the man in front of Mal, Laura brushed her lips to his in a small, tender kiss. Any thought of Nyhali and Leolin was insignificant for the time being- one way or another, she had to see what Rem thought of her.

Needless to say, Rem was surprised when he felt Laura’s lips pressed warmly to his own. For several seconds, he simply stood there, looking as shocked as a cat who had just been pushed from a second-story window. Once he got control of himself though, he stepped back once more and put his hands to Laura’s shoulders as if to keep the woman away from him. His hands weren’t gripping her tightly, and she could easily break away if she truly wanted to, but he wanted to keep her back long enough to figure out what was going on.
“What are you doing? I mean, I know what you were doing, but… umm… not that I didn’t like it. It was very nice…” Yes, it had been nice. Whatever his feelings for Laura, he couldn’t deny that he had, on some visceral level, enjoyed the kiss simply because it was a kiss. As he stumbled his way through the words, his blush only burned more hotly, especially when he considered how sweet that little brush of lips had been. Oh, and when he thought about how lovely Laura had been in that dress at the Shindig; she had been truly beautiful there, in her own innocent sort of way.
Still, she was his friend! She was more like another guy than a girl, really, and Rem did not kiss other guys. Well, unless that guy was Mal and didn’t give him much of a choice.

"Rem, I..." Her voice faultered slightly, bowing her head momentarily. The woman made no motion to break from his grip, slowly raising her head to look at him. "I care about you, Remiel."
With difficulty, she held Rem's gaze. Though with time, it became too difficult for the woman to muster, and she bowed her head once more. "Forgive me for my presumptuousness... I-I misunderstood your intentions it seems..."
Lifting her head once more, eyes closed, she set her jaw firmly. Expecting some rather harsh words, Laura braced herself for the worst of what was to come.

Perhaps some other men would have responded with rude words. Actually, most wouldn’t have given a damn about the kiss and would have hurried on to something more than just kissing. But, Rem, as Laura knew, was… different. For one thing, he didn’t want to do anything more than kissing. As if her skin---actually, the cloth over her skin---- suddenly burned his hands, he let go abruptly and took a few steps back, wearing a hunted expression.
“I care about you too, just… just not like that,” he said lamely, wondering just how much he could explain. He didn’t even understand his own feelings. How was he supposed to explain them to someone else? “I’ll just… um… I have something to do something with and something…” with that eloquent excuse, he hurried out of the room as if all the devils and demons of Hell were after him which, metaphorically, they could be.
Meanwhile, Tali blupped in his new bed. It was more of a bubble than an actual noise.

There was no enraged demon to chase him from the room as he might have expected. Laura seemed to stand there mute as a statue as she listened to him leaving the room.
Nearly the whole of his departure, she felt as if she were holding her breath. Only when he was out of earshot did she take a gaspy breath of air.
It was heart wrenching to have confessed her feelings for the man only to be turned aside. And it too was the first time she ever truly felt ashamed for the facade she'd put up in public to protect herself. Was that what made her so ill-appealing to him?
Time seemed to return to Laura gradually, and she lowered herself to sit on her bed. She didn't want to cry, she wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to.... kid herself. Biting her lip in hopes of slowing the floodgates, Laura couldn't stop all the sadness welled in her. Turning to the small noise behind her, Laura plucked up the small griffin to stroke in her lap. At least she would find companionship in some small way tonight.

Rem was just confused. What the Hell was going on here?! Were all women crazy or was that just his imagination? Retreating to his study, he collapsed in his chair and tried to focus on something else, feeling extremely useless. He hated feeling useless… he also hated confusion. Pulling out one of his books, he tried to read about the excitement of… what the Hell was this book anyway?
Something about tactics and war. Blech. He didn’t need to think about that right now. Why weren’t there any books about how to figure out a woman’s mind? There was probably a huge need in the public for that. Why, he doubted that even women could know. There were all sorts of twists and cul-de-sacs and unpleasant creatures that could eat a man whole for something as innocuous as, say, leaving the toilet seat up.
After trying to read the same sentence three times in a row, Rem gave up. His own mind was confusing enough. His view slid across the desk to fall upon a small bottle. Right… well, time to sleep… grabbing the bottle, he went to his bedroom instead.
Tali woke up as he felt himself being moved from the nice warm blankets. With a series of enraged cheeps, he struggled fantastically in Laura’s hands.
It was probably the cutest thing ever to be observed by a human being. Eventually, once he realized that, no, she was NOT going to let go, the little gryphon relaxed.
Turning to look at her, Tali made a noise best described as ‘blort’. Rather impressive, really, considering that he didn’t have lips.

ooc| To the next day or something... >.>
EDIT: Or we could just stop this role play and start a new one. Right now, I'm leaning towards that option; I've been thinking about setting up a thread specifically for any role plays that occur in or around Rem's property.
