Theron nods. "Mostly wander around the island," he agrees. "We were too broke to go out to eat much."
Taking a chance, he lets his hand brush hers.

The young angel neither flinched nor frowned when his hand brushed her. She considered that a good thing. Normally, anything touching her made her feel sick but Theron just felt warm and alive. In fact, her hand was warmer where he brushed against her but she still couldn't reach out and grab his hand. She wasn't sure she could do so without shaking. So she let her hand hang there, not sure what to do.
"Explains why one of us learned to cook so well. Someone had to feed us." she said with a gigle.

When she doesn't flinch or pull away, Theron gently, softly, slowly takes her hand in his. He revels in the touch, connecting with another person. He wants to just fold her into his arms and keep her safe and happy forever. But he doesn't. He merely smiles over at her and says nothing about the contact.
"I'm not that good at cooking," he says modestly, chuckling.

Leilani couldn't stip the small flinch that crossed her face when he took her hand, but she forced herself to smile. After all, he wasn't hurting her or going to hurt her. The flinch was just reflex.
Knowing that it would probably still hurt his feelings and not wanting that to happen, she reached over and bravely gave his hand a pat with her other hand, hoping he would know the flinch wasn't because of him.
"Of course not. I've just magically gained a million pounds since I've been home." she teased back at him.

Theron laughs gently. "You haven't gained a million pounds," he chides her. "Besides, you look so healthy! Look at you, teasing me right back! I haven't see you smile like this in ages, Lani."
His smile diminishes in size, but not in intensity. He squeezes her hand softly. "It's good to have you back to normal."

Leilani sighed, her smile finally faltering. "If it only it would stay like this, Theron." she said, her voice soft as a whisper and laced with sadness. She was getting better, yes. But she wasn't completely there yet and knowing that tomm might be a darker day was depressing.

[Meep, sorry this took so long!]
"It can stay like this," says Theron earnestly. He quells the urge to touch her cheek to show her how much he cares. She's not touchy like he is, and she'd only flinch and pull away. He's lucky she's still holding hands with him. "You're getting better. You might not be able to see it, but I can." He'd drive away all her sadness, all her cloudy days for the rest of forever if she'd let him.

Leilani sighed and stared at the passing ground beneath her feet. "I know Theron but it's hard. Sometimes I don't even have the energy to think about smiling, let alone come outside and be my old self."

"I know it's hard," he says softly. "But I'm here for you. I'll do whatever it takes to help you be happy again." He smiles.

Leilani gave a sad smile, reaching over to pat Theron's hand again, a deep blush crawling across her cheeks. "I know Theron. I know" she said, wishing he would change the subject. He was making her uncomfortable with his declarations.

Oops. That tone said he'd gone too far. "Sorry," he says earnestly, still smiling slightly. "Too much."
"So, what do you want to do?"

Leilani sighed with relief when eh got the message. "Umm.. I'm not sure." she said. "I thought I wanted to do something reckless, but now that idea seems silly." she grumbled, another blush crossing her cheeks. "I don't know now...."

"Well, what about something....sort-of reckless?" he suggests, laughing. "Small steps, right?"

"Sort-of reckless?" she repeated, face scrunching a little as she thought it over. "I guess we could be wanna-be hooligans. Doesn't sound as much fun but at least it sounds smarter than being a full grown trouble maker." she aquiesced with a shrug.
"Gah! I don't remember this being so hard when we were younger." she huffed, throwing her free hand up in frustration. "When did we get so old?" she asked her companion, a smile dancing across her features.

"We aren't old, dear," he says and then, at the term of endearment, stops. He touches his chin contemplatively. "Oh," he says in a grave voice. "Perhaps we have gotten old." Theron looks up at her and taps his chin. "Well! We'll just have to pretend to be children, then!" he exclaims.
He takes her hand and starts to tug her toward the surf, splashing into it.
