"Its a secret recipe." Reno smilied. "Thats what Eve calls it." he said. "You need to learn to relax more. Your acting like someone is going to swoop in and take you away."
Risa smilied. "Im glad you two like the room." she said. "awww you two look so cute together." she giggled as she looked at Misha and Dan

Angel laughed hollowly. "Ya, that is something I need to work on." She admitted softly. But how could she do that? "Reno," She said softly and paused to take another bite of food. She thought over her words for a moment before speaking. "Could you teach me please how to be more relaxed?" She asked in a somewhat doubtful tone. "It might make our time together more relaxed and meaningful as well." She laughed softly again and thought, wow, according to him I'm a total mess.
Dan smiled at Misha for a moment longer, making sure to give her the space she wanted. He would not force his presence upon her. That did nothing but create strained feelings. So he took another half step back. Perhaps this would in time draw her closer. Dan would not judge her though, that was not a nice thing to do. He would be patient, something he was good at.
"The room is very nice Miss Risa, thank you so much for letting us use it." He said softly and looked up at Miss Risa with a side smile. "I think that Miss Misha's idea to go shopping sound lovely. I could use some new clothing." He said with a glance at his sister, who knew this was true.
Sammy sighed and nodded. "We have been saving." She said more to herself and Dan than the others. "And you are starting to out grow those." She said with a half-hearted gesture to his dirty, raggedy clothes. "For us anyway a trip to the market is in order." She said with a smile. "Sometime soon anyway." Sammy said stepping up to her brrother and ruffling his hair.

"Sure sounds fun." he smilied and thought a bit. "hmm but we may have different ways of relaxing. When I want to relax I usally go lay out in the grass and watch the clouds go by." he said. "Maybe a nice, hot bath in a spring would help you relax more."
Risa smilied. "Yes that does sound wonderful. I do need to go to the market anyway to get more food." she said. "Alright we will leave as soon as everyone ready to go." she said as she went to her room to get her purse.

Misha was still pink in the face as her sister's words sunk in that Dan and she were cute together. She would have objected but she found herself unable to do so when Dan was looking at her with that childlike smile and she thought how mature he seemed.
"Hey Dan...what do you think about me?" Misha finally ask as she helped straighten the room up as they waited for Risa to return. Misha's heart began to race as the words escaped her lips. It slipped out unconsciously as she stopped to watch him moving some things. Now that it was out there in the air between them time seemed to slow down for Misha as she eagerly awaited an answer.

Angel smiled and nodded. "That does sound nice." She admitted. Most of her bathing came from the rivers when she was out working, or a quick, cool showers when she got the chance. "Why do you suggest that?" She asked curiously.
Dan thought for a moment before answering Misha. He moved a couple things before turning to face her. His expression was perfectly straight when he spoke to her. "I think, from what I've seen of you, That you are beautiful, and kind, but not one who will trust others easily. But... But I really hope that I will be able to earn your trust Miss Misha." He said looking down at the bed sheets nervously.

"I come from a world where trust is a sacred thing Dan. When I would work for Papa I sometimes did many things I am not proud of to complete my jobs. So long as the job was complete Papa let me do whatever it took and in the end there was always blood on my hands. How could you think someone with so much blood on her hands is beautiful and kind?" Misha said quietly as she walked up to him and put her hands on both sides of his cheeks lifting his face to meet hers. It was the first time a boy said she was nice and the only one that would tell her she was pretty before was Papa.
"Even if big sis is easy going with company most of the time I still worry Papa might send someone else to try to hurt her. That is why when I saw Angel I wasn't sure who to trust anymore. I am very confused but I am also glad to have both of you here." Misha said as her hands fell from Dan's cheeks. "I live in a world of death Dan. I thought you should know something important like this."

Dan's face remained emotionless as he stared at Misha and contemplated her words. There really was not much to say. "I didn't know you then Misha. Our lives have led us though trials that we are not proud of, but what matters most is if you will find the power within you to change and to be what you weren't. If you hate those years where you would complete a job and look to find blood on your hands then right here, in this room, right now, make yourself a vow. His hands had risen to her arms. He rubbed her arms gently, but his eyes never left hers.
"I appreciate it that you have told me this, I see now why you dislike Miss Angel, but perhaps she is as you were and is only looking for some form of saving." He shook his head, how could he know. He had only seen her briefly. His mind was wide open to the world for the sole reason that he didn't know all that much of it.
"But Miss Misha, you see, my thoughts of you have not changed. I still look at you and think that you are sweet and nice if you are trusting of another. I don't know you as you were, I only see you as you are before me. There is nothing wrong with the girl before me." He said with a crooked, half smile. "And how would I not think that you were nice if all you do is talk about your sister. Misha, this is the first time I've truly heard you talk about you. You're not concerned for your existence so much as your sister's. How can that be an evil soul, how can that be an evil heart? You are not as dark as your past. You have a chance to amend yourself. Please Miss Misha, give yourself that chance." Dan said smiling at her with a slight blush in his cheeks and a twinkle in his eye. He hoped that she would not turn the request and his words down for he meant everything he said as much as one person could mean something.

"It just seems like the kind of thing girls like to do." Reno said. "After a nice hot bath in a spring they just seemed more relaxed." he smilied.

As Dan's hands reached out massaged her arms Misha's face turned red not out of anger but because she embarrassed out of her own inexperience with boys and she wondered if she wa really starting to like Dan or if it were something else. She took in subtle features in his face and her ears tried to pick up any possible breaks in his words as though the possibility that he could try to lie to cover up some secret of his own. Unfortunately instead of watching him for any possible sign of lying she got caught up on his boyish looks and she felt like she could hear her own heart beat making it impossible to concentrate on focusing on his words.
Misha moved closer and wrapped her arms under his arms and around his chest as she hugged him pressing her face into his shoulder. "You are a despicable boy for being so nice to me. Whether my past is one stained in love that does not change who I am. I am a predator who will kill anyone that has intent to harm my family. My priorities may have changed but that doesn't change who I am."
Tears began to form at the edge of Misha's eyes. Holding Dan like this felt nice but it didn't help her confusion. "I don't understand how you make me feel when you are around, Even though we have barely known each other I get nervous and yet I feel happy to be so close to you Dan." Misha said as she hugged Dan a little more tightly to emphasize her point.

"I suppose that is true." Angel said, faking a tone of knowing. "Perhaps I'll try that once I get to a place that I could take a nice hot bath." It was something she was almost eager for. "So where will we be going from here Reno?" Angel asked leaning forward towards him. "I know I am not welcome at Miss Risa's home, so where shall we be staying?"
Dan blinked in surprise when Misha wrapped her arms around him. He blushed and immediately his entire body seemed to radiate immense warmth. Hesitantly he wrapped his arms around her too and held her close to him. He was still young, so he held her in his slender shapeless arms. He bowed his head and looked at her head resting against his shoulder. He listened to her speak with the same curiosity in which he had watched her wrap her arms around him.
"I am sorry for being despicable." he apologized, "I was simply trying to let you know that you are different from who you were. You are the same no matter what happens. You are a sweet and beautiful girl Miss Misha." He said softly.
Dan smiled down at Misha. His hand began to move up and down her back in a gentle rub. "I'm nervous and happy around you too miss Misha." He said hugging her a little tighter. "But do you feel okay around me?" he asked. "With this nervousness, does it feel right to you?" He risked asking with hesitancy of course.

Misha tensed when Dan put his arms around her but she relaxed soon after. She thought she was being silly wondering about Dan and how he seemed to fill her thoughts the more he was around her. Soon he was rubbing her back and hugging her tighter. Misha could not tell if Dan was feeling as warm as she felt but after a moment she slowly pulled away from him enough so she could wipe here eyes with the back of her hand.
"How about we start with you stop calling me miss Misha. I am probably around your age Dan." Misha said as she turned her body around and pulled his arms around her waist. She was a little taller then he was but it was still a nice feeling. She put her hands over his and leaned into him slightly. "I have chosen to trust you and your sister so please do not betray my heart that I give to you. I love big sis but it would be nice to believe I can care as she has in the past."

Dan was trying to read her actions as carefully as he could. He didn't want to mess up on anything and force her to hate him. When she pulled away he let her go, when she leaned back against him and pulled his arms around her he allowed this as well. She was taller than him he realized, and perhaps with time that would change. Sammy was always talking about how he was about to hit a growth spurt. Would Misha like this? He hoped she would, he knew he would prefer it when he was taller than her. If that happened then he could protect her if that ever became a need.
"What should I call you then?" He whispered to her softly as if all this had stolen his will to speak. "I won't betray you Misha." He said to her softly. "My sis and I are good people, we won't hurt you." S-She gave her heart to me? Dan though with hesitancy. Does this mean I might have a chance? His arms tightened slightly but comfortably around Misha.
He heard Risa cooing out in the hall when she passed by and saw the two of them. He blushed, but did not flinch outwardly for fear of disturbing Misha.
Angel looked at Reno for a moment as if she were solving a puzzle. "Would that really be alright with you. I don't want to be a bother, I don't want it to be awkward for you if you're not use to having a girl around especially one that you have kissed." Angel enjoyed being with Reno, it would be interesting to live at his house with him. His offer of course was quite generous.

Reno laughed. "Of course I don't mind." he said. "Will go once were finished eating." he said as he finished up him meal.

Misha smiled shyly even though she was leaning into Dan as she held his hands over her waist. It was a little embarrassing how Risa gushed over the two of them but it was nice as well. Misha slowly pulled away from Dan and smiled warmly. He thought she was cute and nice.
"Why don't we just stick with you stick with calling me Misha for now. Miss Misha sounds a little stuffy don't you think." Misha said with a wink. "If you want to give me a nickname later I don't mind if it's cute."
