"If you are, lass, you hae t' remember, he's ne'er had a girlfriend before," Annie reminded her. "He's prolly bendin' o'er backwards all th' time t' please you, ain't he?"

Lee nodded, smiling a bit and rubbing her neck. "He is, yeah... But just 'cause he didn't have girlfriends doesn't mean he didn't like a few girls, right? He bent over backwards for them, didn't he?" He probably treated them the same way, she imagined. Again, it had her wondering what girls he'd had crushes on, smiling to herself with slight amusement. It was fun, because he really couldn't wonder the same thing of her. She'd liked Faolan, and then Rory. The list ended there.

"Oh, he had his crushes, sure. He's a teenage boy, after all. He just ne'er really approached any o' them. I know he left gifts an' th' like, but he was ne'er brave enough t' talk wi' them," Annie said, shrugging. "E'en if they knew it wis him, none o' them would've talked t' him 'cause of his eyes an' deadspeak." She glanced back at her brother, then looked at Lee. "Donnae let him do tha' so much. It's good tha' he wants t' please you an' I'm sure you're enjoyin' it, but relationships are gi' an' take. Donnae let him always be givin', okay? He doesnae get tha' it's not his job t' be a servant t' the girls he likes. He's so scared t' lose people he likes because o' th' stigmas about his eyes an' all tha' he tries too hard t' please people. Tends t' wear himself out, an' when a gesture doesnae gae o'er well, he can get rather depressed. I'm sure you've seen it happen."

Lee looked back at Rory once more, watching him a moment and falling silent. She didn't know she was basically taking advantage of his kindness... But he was wrong if he thought she'd leave him just because he refused to do all of the work. She would actually probably understand him a little better if he were that way. What to do, what to do... "Yeah, okay..." Lee answered softly, feeling horribly guilty now. She needed to learn to cook and clean and generally be useful...

Rory came over, putting an arm around Lee's shoulders. "Sorry t' steal her away, Annie, but w' got school in th' morn an' it's gettin' late."
"Alreet, laddie," the woman said, leaning over to hug him. "Come by sometime soon t' see your new niece."
The boy nodded, promising to, then led Lee away, shrugging out of his jacket to put it around her shoulders for the walk home. "Sorry about her. Sh' can be rather o'erbearin' sometimes."

Shaking her head, she laughed a bit, shrugging. "No, it's okay. She's nice. Sounds like she worries a lot about you." She smiled up at him, suddenly feeling as if, perhaps, he was under appreciated. Perhaps she could wake up before Rory and attempt to make breakfast in the morning? If he'd even eat it, that was. Everything would be either burnt or undercooked, or both.

"Aye, she does. She always has e'er since th' whole whippin' incident," Rory said, shrugging. "I think she blames herself a bit fae not bein' there t' help me." As they wandered through the market on the way back, Rory stopped to get some cocoa mix for Lauss.

Annie was even more like her mother than she thought. They both seemed pretty protective of Rory, and they both seemed to feel guilty over what had happened. Lee kept quiet as they walked home, thinking more on what Annie had said. She wasn't in a very flirty mood now, almost feeling she should head to bed early to wake up before Rory.

At the house, Rory put the cocoa in the kitchen on a counter within easy sight. He let Lauss know where it was on the way past his room. Pulling Lee into their bedroom, he shut the door and grinned at her. "You were really cute t'night at th' show. I take it you really liked it, eh?"

"Mmhmm," she giggled, finding her own mischievous grin. He'd impressed her, even if she was scared to death at the time. While she was in a much friskier mood than before, she'd still let him make the first move, just so it seemed like he was getting what he wanted and not the other way around.

Rory moved away, but only to get his shoes off and undress. "If I smell too much like horse, let me know an' I'll gae shower, alreet?" He was more used to the smell of horses and couldn't really tell if it was too bad when it was this faint.

"Mmm..." she sounded nervous, debating whether or not to go on with her plan. Somehow, the thought of wearing lingerie was more embarrassing than being butt naked. It wouldn't work if she was nervous, right? Sienna had said to just fake it the first time and step out acting confident and sexy. But Lee wasn't either of those. She hadn't even noticed Rory was undressing, too busy weighing the possibilities. "Er... hold on just a sec..." Sighing and trying to muster up courage as she squirreled herself away in the bathroom, she looked to the lingerie still sitting on the floor, watching it as if it would magically raise her level of confidence.

The boy just nodded, not looking up. He finished undressing and got under the blankets and quilts, snuggling down to wait for Lee to join him.

Looking herself over in the mirror, she had to admit, she was pretty hott. Okay, Lee, all you need to do is open the door and... Wait, what did she do then? Sighing, she honestly didn't know what to do, what to say... Grumbling as she thought it over, she fidgeted a bit with the straps, eventually deciding to just wing it. Turning the door knob and pushing the door open, she desperately tried to keep herself from giggling now that Rory could see her. Ugh, this wouldn't work if she wasn't taking it seriously... Aw, Rory looked cute, all snuggled up like that -- No, Lee, sexy! Not cute, sexy thoughts. Taking one step forward, she suddenly burst into a fit of unexplainable giggles, covering her mouth as she tried to stifle them. Great, she'd ruined it already...

Rory looked up at the giggles then froze, eyes wide and mouth open. Whoa. She was . . . beautiful. And sexy. Even with the giggling. She had his attention, that was for sure. He let out a soft whimper, moving to get comfortable, but to no avail. There was only one thing that would give him relief now. He crooked a finger, gesturing for Lee to come to him in the bed.
