It was really all or nothing with this girl, hm? Dravi dropped his arm, giving the bracelet a twirl betwixt his fingers to twine the beads securely between them as Khalel strode over to him. An irk in the back of his mind had him noticing how distinctly un-thrilled the young woman looked. But since she was playing along (however unwillingly), he couldn't exactly stop mid-game. He was only teasing, after all. She'd probably realize in time. Hopefully. Maybe.
The hybrid boy leaned back against the doorway, smirking in enjoyment as Khalel followed his movements and pressed against him. All the way against him. Which was, by far more contact than he expected to receive. At most he expected a peck to his cheek, then probably a slap after retrieving her bracelet from his clutches. He supposed such a thing would be even more warranted now...
But he was quick to lose track of those thoughts as their lips connected. She was warm, and tasted of a fruit juiciness that reminded him of nobles sipping fancy drinks by a pool. With only a permissible degree of stiffness putting him off, likely stemming from not actually knowing the person she was so intimately in contact with. He hummed softly. Dravi raised a hand, the tips of his fingers (the ones still currently threaded through the lady's bracelet) dusting across her cheek as he tipped his head to encourage a little more relaxation. He nipped playfully at her bottom lip, skimming his hand down her neck and shoulder and falling into the easiness of touching someone else. But after only a moment, he decided it... was probably weird.
For all her beauty and apparent tolerance for his whimsy, he did still scarcely know her name. And she'd likely have enough of him by the time they parted. He had no reason to feel any sense of attachment. Skadravi perched backward, smiling in his wayward way. "I only asked for a kiss, you know. Maybe save the intimacy for someone you actually like?"

Well, all of this wasn't something she expected the moment she left her home that morning. She had planned to have a nice day in the markets, browsing the wares and chatting with vendors, and yet there she was in a secluded alley. With a boy. One who had stolen her bracelet. And she was kissing him. Certainly not how she pictured things at all, but she wasn't about to complain. This little adventure was a lot more interesting than anything she had actually planned to do throughout the day. Even if Dravi was a thief -- there was something about him. She just wanted to know more and simply be by him.
While Skadravi thought the kiss the two of them shared might be a weird thing to instigate, Khalel clearly didn't seem to mind at all. The young woman found herself practically melting when he nipped at her lower lip. The touch of his hand down her neck caused her to shiver, though it wasn't intentional. She was just enjoying things more than she herself realized. When he pulled away, the young girl all but pouted, yet did her best to retain her composure. Relax. Breathe. It was just a kiss. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary.
"You say that as if I don't," she countered, a sad smile gracing her lips. The two of them did just meet, it was true, but that didn't seem to bother the noble woman. If anything, it made things more exhilarating. Then there was the kiss in its entirety. She wouldn't have done it if she wasn't actually interested in him. Most girls probably would have smacked him or called him a creep for such a request, but not Khalel. The fact that he said such things kind of hurt her feelings, in truth. "You intrigue me."

Skadravi quieted as he noticed the faintest downturn to her lips. Almost as if Khalel was... disappointed? Saddened? Hurt? Presumably not because of stranger-danger, but because of something else? The whole thing was suddenly more confusing than it ought to be, and as he stood there, staring into her eyes, the faintest tinge of red crept onto his cheeks, and he gave her a sheepish smile in return. "I'd be more than happy to continue to intrigue and delight you, if given the chance." He admitted with a shrug.
He leaned forward tapping the tip of his nose just so lightly against hers before perching backward again, grinning waywardly. Because, to be honest, he wasn't brave enough to just waltz into his father's estate and steal all his crap with no practice of thievery. So, he had some time to kill and nothing to do with it. And if he even had the faintest glimmer of opportunity to spend it with a beautiful hybrid woman, well, that just seemed alright. Especially one as playfully patient and tolerant as Khalel was. She was practically a gift from the heavens.
But perhaps he should strive not to be so forward next time... Fortunately, she didn't seem as put off by it as he feared. Dravi collected her hand, untangling the bracelet from between his fingers and tying it back around her wrist. "Maybe be more careful with your things next time, hm, Khalel?" He said with a wink. "Cause, I mean, it'd be strange to allow anyone who managed to catch hold of your things be allowed to kiss you. One is enough, I think."

"Oh, believe me, I don't intend on letting anyone else do such things."
Skadravi was an exception to that rule. If had been anyone else, she would have fought for her bracelet. She would have hit whoever suggested a kiss in return for it in the face or possibly in the knee. Such requests were generally below her, but the hybrid boy intrigued her, and she found herself drawn to him, so why not? Since she had never done such a thing before, it didn't hurt to try and live a little, even with the warnings that he gave her.
"Just don't take my stuff anymore," she said when his nose booped hers in a playful manner. She then chuckled at him and shook her head. He was playful and carefree -- totally unlike any Oban boy she had spent time with. That was a gift, in her mind. Oban men could be so stuffy, and it was quite tiresome to deal with them and their formalities. "You don't need to steal from me to get my attention anymore."
The sun was high in the sky now, an observation that did not go unnoticed by the noble hybrid. It was time to be getting back, as lunch would be served soon and she didn't want to be late. Before she made her exit, however, the prentice leaned in close to her peer once more, close enough for her to be able to whisper into his ear. "Meet me by the fountain in the center of the city. Midnight, tomorrow -- come alone." A cryptic message, but she offered no more than that, aside from a mischievious smirk and a giggle.
"See you later, Skadravi," she said to him as she walked off, slipping her bracelet over her hand again. "I hope we see each other again soon."

Dravi's eyes widened a fraction. 'Anymore?' Saying something like that suggested that there would, in fact, be a next time. As in, a voluntary decision to perhaps see him again at some future date. The hybrid boy beamed to himself, straightening a little as if he'd done something particularly impressive to warrant being proud of. He wanted to comment that he hadn't actually stolen from her. The bracelet was still in her possession, and he hadn't had any intention of keeping such a thing for himself. But the thought became irrelevant as Khalel leaned in close, her warm breath dusting against his hair and tickling the end of his curls against the nape of his neck.
He blinked in confusion at her statement, but had little time to offer up a question, let alone time to receive an answer. Because the next moment, Khalel was bidding him farewell and heading off back the way she'd come. Skadravi barely had time to raise a hand in a parting wave before she'd disappeared from his sight. Belatedly (and he realized in the back of his mind that the hybrid female wouldn't be able to hear, let alone acknowledge him), he rumbled out a hushed, "Okay..." before spending several long minutes gazing at the spot he'd last seen her.
She... really was something. Certainly not like any girl he'd ever met. Or seen. Or heard of. And for the remaining time he had until they'd meet again, he'd find himself thinking of little besides the teasing woman.
