He had even mentally prepared himself for that, and was prepared to laugh it off. Feeling her return his hug though, had actually caused him to stiffen up slightly. He was grateful she couldn't see his expression with the placement of her face against his neck.
He hadn't been expecting this, and he held very still for a moment, unsure how to respond. He used to hold his mother in a similar fashion when she had been grieving, but never had she returned his embrace. So many panicked thoughts rushed through his mind, before he shut them all off behind one of the many doors, one that was empty.
He did his best not to shake, or to let his words slip up, slowly lifting his arms up, gently rubbing her back, taking the time her face was hidden from his view to compose himself again. To pull his mask back together.
"Yeah, this topic has never been a fun one." He said lightly, with a joking tone, trying to lighten the mood as he thought of a change in conversation topics. This was stupid, he couldn't even bring himself to say the word death. "What kind of tea do you like?" He asked, quickly changing the topic after a pause.

► Rhys had noticed Mithllo's stillness, but the comfort of holding someone else close and having no protest arise from them, as a sort of reminder that it was all in the past, gave her some warmth. Thankfully he was on board with changing the subject. Her mouth quirked into a weak smile. "There are so many... I have the perfect blend for this weather. Let's go have some," she said, putting the clipboard back into it's holder on the wall. Everything was in order water and temperature-wise. The cold chill outside couldn't affect the heat and humidity in here. She had checked the watering system in each house earlier today, so she knew all of those were working.
She offered a hand for Mithllo to grab as she walked out the door. They could warm up inside and forget about the lilies and everything associated with them. "Why do you still have those in?" Rhys asked, motioning to Mithllo's hair. It was a wonder that she had been able to forget about them enough to have an honest kind of heart to heart with him. She waited for him to exit the greenhouse, locking it behind them when he was gone. From there she would lead the way to the break room. There would be a table surrounded by a couple of chairs, a small kitchen and fridge, and a couch with a coffee table and a tv. The room was, of course, decorated by various house plants, but nothing extravagant.

So when she asked about the pigtails he brought his hand up to tug on one, flashing her a playful smile. "Not sure, why am I too cute for you to handle?" He asked, giving a wink.

► Rhys rolled her eyes and turned away to hide the bubbly smile that started to rise to her face. She really didn't need to start giggling at Mithllo again. Once was bad enough. "Mm, yes, now stop," she said, covering her mouth. It was obvious what she was trying to avoid doing. Rhys walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a bag of tea and a tea pot, and two mugs. She smiled down at the mugs every time she looked at Mithllo. She wasn't sure how she had managed to have a serious moment with him while he had that hair. She went through the motions of making tea before sitting down on the couch and patting the seat next to her. "It's cold outside. You sure you have enough layers on?" she asked. She was fine in her work clothes thanks to all of her muscle, but he wasn't packing the same beef she was. It was mostly to make conversation though.

He brushed his hair over his shoulder, when he heard her ask about his layers, glancing down and giving his clothes a tug. "Hmm, I've been warm enough, shouldn't be an issue." He answered, flashing her a smile.

► In tandem with Mithllo, Rhys took her bangs down as well, comforted by the feeling of having her face mostly covered again. For work, it was necessary to be able to see clearly, but it didn't mean she was totally comfortable with that. "Well, if you get too cold out there, tell me. I'll warm you up," she offered, smiling. She'd wink, but she wasn't sure if he would see it. Rhys got out and electric kettle, filled it, and plugged it in. "It should only take about 6 minutes to heat up the water. would you like anything else?" She asked, smiling pleasantly down at him. There was a fridge and a kitchenette here, just enough so that Rhys and the part-timers who worked springs and summers would be able to store and heat up lunch, but not enough to cook. Whatever he asked for, if she had it, she'd get it. For the time being she took out two tea bags and two mugs and left them on the counter. One was large with trees decorating the ceramics in a mountainous scene. The other was smaller and had various cute cartoon crows on it, doing different bird activities. She had a lot of bird and plant-theme mugs. "I hope you don't mind crows," she said, standing near him. "I think they're kind fitting for you."

"I love crows, they're an inspiration." He remarked, reaching up for one of the crows and tugging it down carefully. This one looked like it was resting, that was good enough for him.

► Brownies. Just the thought made Rhys' stomach gurgle. They sounded really good right about now. "Not here. I might have enough at my place, but-" Rhys cut herself off. She would have made a joke about Mith buying her dinner, but right now she was working for him for free. It felt like one of those 'it's the least she could do' things to repay him. "Er, Maybe," she finished, shrugging. Her faced heated a little, flustered at the idea of having someone in her room. It'd been a while since anyone had been in there. She had half a mind to wonder if Mithllo would like her decorating. "Nice choice," she commented, nodding to the mug. With that, Rhys felt admitting, "I can't think of anything to talk about," would diffuse any awkward silences.
In about three minutes the timer would go off on the kettle and Rhys would be able to pour them both hot water to let the tea steep in, and a flowery, almost fruity scent would fill the room. It was a goof flavor for winter time, not too summery. "I hope you like it," she'd say, and wait for him to try it before she took a sip.

He teased playfully, before he gave a nod, honestly he couldn't think of anything to talk about either. So he thought about it for a moment, "Do you have any family?" He asked, tilting his head.
He picked up the filled mug, taking in the scent with a rather gentle smile "It smells nice." He remarked, before taking a sip. "It tastes good too." He praised.

► Rhys' face heated up and she looked away from Mithllo, rubbing her neck. "Wh- Uh, I mean," she stammered, trying to deflect that. She decided to go with a rather pouty "whatever. Maybe." His next question caught her relatively off guard. She hadn't thought about her family in a long time. It had been years, actually. She talked to them occasionally. Visited on holidays when she had the time, but she held a lot of resentment towards them. "Yes, my parents and two younger sisters," she replied, going quiet for a moment and staring into her mug. "They're all smaller than I am. All of 'em," she added, holding her and up to about chest height as a reference for their average height. A few of her uncles and grandparents were as tall as she was, if not taller. She resented the fact that she got so tall sometimes, but not as much as the fact that, with all the abilities their race had, none of her family shared the same one. Not to mention she could always sense that her parents hated her stature and her strength. They loved her as a whole, but not all the parts. "I haven't talked to them in a long time though. What about you?" She asked, not totally trying to move the conversation away from her, but not sure Mithllo wanted to hear about her parental problems.
She smiled when he complemented the tea. "I'm glad you like it," she said, taking a sip of her own tea. It was just as good as she remembered, a little acrid and a little sweet. Honestly, she could go for some lemon juice, though. The more sour, the better in her opinion. She'd steal sour candies out of someone's mouth if they let her. "I wish I had some snacks to offer, but there's really nothing here when it's just me."

"It's just my mother and me. My father passed away when I was a child. I don't remember much about him." He answered, well it wasn't a lie, most of those memories were repressed. "I do remember the stories he used to tell me though, about the war here in Reim. They were the stories his father told him, and he passed them onto me." He added, swinging his finger in the air before taking another sip of his tea. "It's alright, I don't mind."

► The change in atmosphere was nearly palpable between them Rhys could definitely tell that neither of them wanted to talked about their families. She had half a mind to wonder what it was that expression was hiding, while the other half reminded her it was none of her business. They were friends, not lovers. Though Mithllo seemed to like flirting with her a lot. Rhys took a sip of tea as dirty images managed to sneak back into her mind. Inappropriate. So inappropriate. She listened intently to what he had to say, resisting the urge to let her eyes wander over Mithllo's body. "My dad told me those stories too," she replied, thinking back. They were sort of fond memories. To anyone else, they would be uplifting, but they were met with the same resentment anything with her parents entailed. "He used to tell me I would have been a general in the war, because I was so strong. It was supposed to comfort me, but it never really helped..." During the pause was when she finally admired his body, just for a moment. She was jealous of how he looked. He was, in a word, attractive. And suddenly the room was very hot. "Er, what kind of stories would he tell you?" She asked quickly, taking another swig of tea and looking away.
Rhys wouldn't deny that this day had shed Mithllo in a bit of a new light. He'd complimented her laugh and spent the day helping her. What had she said earlier today? She wouldn't be charmed by guys like him? Well, she wasn't charmed yet, but she sure as hell was attracted to him. Hot was hot. "Uh, this is off topic, but," she paused, looking away for a moment before looking back at him. "Sorry for punching you." It was a kind of unheard of for Rhys to apologize for hitting someone. They always deserved it, and she never felt bad about it, so this was kind of a big deal. She stared at Mithllo, waiting for him to reply.

How the fights would go, he was the one who taught me how to hit all the vital points with needles." He explained, the lifting of his hand from his mug flashed two needles between his fingertips. "How to use our gifts to fool the enemy, and how he once tricked a soldier into thinking he was their wife, allowing him close enough to kill them." He let the needles go back into hiding and he could have sworn he almost noticed the shifting in way that Rhys was acting towards him. He waited until she wasn't paying complete attention to his movements, before he moved closer and kissed her cheek quickly.
"I forgive you, Rhys." He whispered the words against her cheek, causing his pale lips to brush against darkened skin before he pulled away and flashed her a warm smile.║▌│█│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║█║▌│█║▌│║║█║ ϺϴȻҚIȠGɃIЯD║▌│█│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║█║▌│█║▌│║║█║

► It was actually interesting to heart that that fighting style was kind of a family tradition, and also the Mithllo had learned it pretty early on. She learned to fight much later in life, and it had started as just an outlet for her aggression. She smiled at hearing how deep that deception ran, watching those needles pop in and out of hiding in a motion she didn't catch. "Impressive," she complemented, her mind drifting off to imagine that scene. Before she could react, she felt lips press against her cheek lightly, tickling her skin as Mithllo accepted her apology.
Every gear in her mind stopped turning, and Rhys stared on for a moment, dumbfounded. "O-Oh," she stuttered, a loud crack breaking the atmosphere. It was a good thing that Rhys had been holding her mug with two hands, because when she pulled away one hand from the mug, the entire handle came with it, in pieces. "Oh. I- Mith- um," was the most coherent thought she could make as she quickly set the mug down, as well as the handle pieces. "Er, you," she started, her cheeks lighting up and her face breaking into a dumbly smitten smile. "Um. Here." Was how she finished. The kiss she gave Mithllo wasn't nearly as quick, she couldn't trust herself with that, she leaned in quickly, but the kiss that was delivered to his cheek was slow and light, and afterward Rhys just covered her eyes with one hand and stared down at the floor, far too flustered to do anything else.

He was expecting a punch to his face, not the sound of the mug shattering in her hands. He also didn't expect the kiss to his cheek and he was grateful Rhys had covered her eyes so she wouldn't see the light blush coating his cheeks.
He waited and took in quiet breaths to regain his composure though, hopefully she didn't notice she had caught him off guard. "Cute." He murmured softly past a chuckle.║▌│█│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║█║▌│█║▌│║║█║ ϺϴȻҚIȠGɃIЯD║▌│█│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║█║▌│█║▌│║║█║
