Welcome to Gaia! ::

He grins and nods "Yes that was only slightly awkward, but I would be honored to join you outside, just let me get your food" walking to the head of the head of the line despite a few protests Aramil explains the situation as the cafeteria worker just laughs and smiles before handing him a new tray of food. Returning and handing the tray to Lenair he smiles and asks "Shall we depart?"

Reaching the door Aramil opens it for Lenair seeing as her hands were full. Seeing a empty table outside he walks over and pulling out Lenairs chair for her, waits for her to sit before he does, taking the seat next to her. "I hope I didn't embarrass you infront of everyone back there" he says hopefully "Even us Archamges do make mistakes you know?" as he talks his hand brushes against hers softly under the table, more than once, ruining the possibility of it being "an accident"

"I don't eat food that is served from the school, I subsist off of imported wine bread and cheese, anything else tends to upset my stomach." he responds "Are you alright? Something seems to be bothering you." he asks. Waiting for her response he shakes the tangles out of his white hair, and stares upwad at the sky, the sun setting his golden skin and eyes on fire with brilliance. The normally dark and brooding personality seems to dissolve in the summer sunshine as Aramil breathes the fresh air and simply stares in wonder at all of natures beauty.

"Curious about me, how so?" he asks "If you want to know something by all means go ahead and ask, I will try and answer to the best of my ability" after listening to her other question he looks pensive and then responds "What do I think about you? I care for you, if thats what you are asking. I think you are a gorgeous young lady, very intelligent, and you...you mean a lot to me. Does that answer your question?" but the sunlight reflecting off the crystal on the top of his staff caught his attention and he was distracted by the multi faceted colors of light and he smiled just like a little child.

With her response his attention snaps fully back to her I'm not sure I can really respond to that effectivly with words... and realizing that his normaly glib tongue would not be able to respond in the way he wanted Aramil reached out and encompasses her hand in his, shooting down and objections she had with a shhh. He takes his free hand and gently turns her head towards his. "I'm glad you feel that way too" and with that he gives her a quick but tender kiss on the lips then removes his hand from her face and just stares into her eyes waiting for her response regardless of its nature be it a slap or and awkward silence.

He... he had kissed me, and, I feel that he wouldn't have done it off of simple impulse. He even confessed that he cared for me. And... I also care for him as well, ever so much. Her thoughts were a mix of poetic contemplation and accumulative reflection, she left nothing unthought. The warmth from his lips remained, and she brought her hand towards her mouth, brushing her thumb against the bottom lip. The motion was terse, as her hand soon returned towards her lap. Possibly for any other girl, it may not have been as difficult a thing to wonder about, but, Lenair had never once been kissed, let alone been in love. Though some confusion still remained, she thought to articulate one thing for certain. So, she shyly grasped one of his fallen hands, tracing a narrow finger along his palm. It was a habitual action, she'd done it often when she felt nervous about holding another's hand. "Aramil," she slowly began, allowing her eyes to be filled with surety instead of confusion, "would you like to know what I think about you?"

A light sigh poured from Lenair's lips as she received his approval, and began to sort her thoughts before making them into meaningful words. "Aramil, I feel that you're, a very beautiful person, and this is not just based upon your physical guise... but, what constitutes the man that you are. I'm, very attracted to that, you seek to guide others so that they do not fall into the troubling crossroads that you had reached within your life. You also wish to deter me from what detrimental situations are expected to occur during my stay, and I feel eternally grateful for that. And, even if I were to fall prey to something while experiencing my journey here, I know that you would be there to aid me." She stopped for a moment, her smile becoming renewed as she found more courage to deliver the import of her message. "And for that and even much, much more... I really do admire you, for the wonderful and considerate person that you are. Heh, you even have the knack for making me laugh, which many have lacked in doing, at least... in the past." She paused for a while then, allowing a bit of saliva to flow down her throat as she found herself somewhat nervous, though her jocund smile remained ever luminous. "I really," she gradually began, "... I really like you Aramil."

She became rather pensive then, but her eyes flowed lightly down towards their hands, as his held a position of superiority over her own. She was almost as lost as Aramil himself when it came to possibly even sparking a relationship, but she felt that there wasn't a need for haste, they could just take it gradually, day by day. Her sapphire gaze soon rested upon him, with a bit of apprehension written within her eyes, but she had come with a suggestion. "We can remain as we are, I mean, our feelings shouldn't change, and it matters not what others find our status to be. Things can go slowly, since... I've never been in a relationship before, let alone have I truly liked someone such as I do you." She paused for a moment, feeling a gentle breeze tickle her cheeks with a cool gust of wind. Her bangs lifting, flaying slightly above her forehead, before resting inertly. "So for now," she began steadily," I'd like to consider us as being more than friends at least. Is that all right with you?" She awaited his response then, wanting any input from him, if he felt he wanted his voice heard. Along the way, the dulcet cries of the neighboring birds rung through her ears, softening her gaze as she stared at him rather intently.
