That made him look up, the hand holding the towel to her cheek stilling as he met those pretty eyes. She was, as she always had been, incredibly hard to read for him. It was impossible to tell if this was how she treated her friends, or if there was something a little more to the playful banter. The towel lowered, running between pale fingers, before he brought it up again to loop it over her shoulders. "I'll have to remember that." His voices was a touch softer, losing that playful edge for something a little more sincere.

Harper kept her eyes on him not moving as he looped the towel around her, there was still a crooked grin on her face but it shifted into more of a sincere look when he spoke a little softer. “You better, otherwise I might actually be a little sad that you didn’t.” Even though her own voice was still in the same tone as it had been earlier, she had really meant it. If anything, she always had a habit of saying what was on her mind, mostly, and she was fond of Liam. Plus she had missed their nights in the common room when they couldn’t sleep in their rooms.

Okay, that had to mean something, didn't it? Sure, it could have been nothing but platonic, but it didn't seem like it. It really didn't. Not with the way she was looking at him, lips curved up, inviting... He hadn't let go of the towel yet, and his fingers flexed, curled a little tighter into the terry cloth before he was looping it around his wrists to pull Harper closer, if she'd let him. "Well that's the last thing I'd want," he murmured down to her, smiling almost shyly. Nerves made him hesitate, dark eyes flicking from bright green down to her lips before twitching upward again. Then he was leaning down to lay a soft, hopefully kiss against the full bow of smiling lips.

Harper stepped forward as he pulled the towel closer to him, she kept her eyes locked on his not wanting to look away from his deep blue eyes. “Good.” There was no stepping away from her, not even when he leaned forward as his lips pressed against her. Instead she returned his kiss and gave another of her own as she raised her hand, bringing it underneath his cheek. If he hadn’t kissed her she would have, when, she didn’t know but she was sure. Instead she was a little surprised and more over glad he had made a move first.

There was a certain wealth of relief that came as she not only didn't jerk away from him, but kissed him back, small hand coming up to cup the curve of his jaw. It had him leaning into that touch, lips moving beneath her's as he smiled despite himself and looped the towel just a little more tightly around his hands, keeping her close. A way to hold her, without holding her, because even now it felt too good to be true. Like she'd draw away at any second, chuckling as if it were all just a fun joke. Of course, even that fear faded. After a moment the towel started to loosen, hands sliding free of it so he could lay them on her sides, just above the swell of her hips.

She was being swept up, her other hand rising, following along the curve of his jaw before curling around his hair on the back of his neck. Harper didn’t notice the tower tightening, she didn’t even notice when he had finally let it go, not until his hands found their way to her waist. There was a moment she had completely forgot why she was even there to start with. Visit yes, that was what she was doing as she kept her lips to his stealing more of his time as her mind kept telling her they should go.

Liam's brain hadn't quite caught that far up yet. He was still marveling at what exactly was happening. Her smalls hands along the side of his face and drifting back to slid through dark hair. Her soft lips beneath his, taking over what he had started, but he gave that power to her willingly. Her small body leaning against his own, warm, and soft, and curved. His hands slid over her back, inwards towards her spine.

His body leaning into hers, his hand sliding along to the small of her back as grew even closer. It was harder to focus on the idea that there was something else to do, other people to meet, that there was still marshmallow's in her pocket that they were suppose to share. She greedily took another kiss from him before pulling back, her lips still close enough to almost brush against his. "Liam...." Her voice was soft as she paused her mind trying to put the words together. "We have to meet Cecil and the others, campfire tonight right?"

It took quite a bit longer for his mind to catch up to what she was saying then he was proud of. There had been the initial disappointment as she'd drawn back enough to speak, the soft sound of protest that hadn't made it past his lips, then the furrow of brows as her words sank in. Cecil. Campfire and marshmallows. Right. Reluctantly he lifted his head, looking down at her as his expression turned sheepish. There was the very real temptation to suggest they just stay here, that the others would understand, but it was quickly squashed by Liam's good nature. "Yeah, everyone's going to want to see you." Not as much as him, probably, but they were all still a family. She wasn't going back til tomorrow. There was plenty of time for...for whatever she wanted. Anything she wanted. This visit was all about her.

There was a soft smile on Harper’s lips when she noted the disappointment on Liam’s face and she could understand not wanting to pull away and not wanting to stop. However, she would have felt guilty having told them all she would be there attending, and all of them going out of their way for a gathering while she skipped out for her own desires. Her green eyes watched his expression turn into a sheepish one as she grinned at him and kissed his cheek. “No worries, like I told you if you need a roommate all you have to do is say so Liam. I am only a portal away. Besides you have me for the entire night until I have to leave early in the morning.” It wasn’t as if as soon as the campfire was done she was just going to head back, this was her first night there at Victoria with them and she would stay as long as she could.

He chuckled softly, hands still on the small of her back, still reluctant to let go, but after a moment he did, slowly. Fingertips dragging gently along her sides before falling away. Responses came to mind, many of them useless or desperate sounding, and for once he kept his mouth shut, let the companionable quiet settle around them before laying a kiss on her cheek and murmuring an okay against freckle kissed skin. "I think it stopped raining." Now that he listened for it he couldn't hear the near constant prattle of it against his roof. "Probably still chilly though." So he smiled gathering a couple of his extra blankets before dragging on an extra sweater and his scarf. Then he went to check outside.
