It was strange, but, when he had something else to focus on he found that when she did stuff he barely noticed, which... he thought... was a bad thing, because that meant he didn't acknowledge that it happened, which was kind of rude. He ran a hand through his hair and he smiled at her.
"I think I am... at least a little bit," He smiled sheepishly and scuffed his foot on the floor. "So uhm... Is there anything else you'd like to do?"
Why did he have a feeling he was going to regret letting those words out...

Kethara had to bite her bottom lip hard. His words made her want to do only one thing, but she knew he run for sure. Shaking her head she put the thought of kissing him out of her mind. With a shrug she sat down on the couch "Whatever your comfortable with. I don't want to do anything to scare you, so your incharge. Although I will admit it right now. I would like to kiss you, but knowing it would scare you I'm stopping myself."
Looking away she runs her fingers across the armband on her arm. She shouldn't have admitted that, she knew it was a bad thing. But she wasn't one for holding her tongue.

"I'm flattered," Was all Lucius could manage to say. Stupid git! He shouted at himself. You're supposed to be all smooth and go, really? UGH, you think you're getting better and you're not... He wanted to faceplam... So he did. She wasn't looking at him anyway...
"What I mean to say is..." He tried again, knowing he was probably just digging a deeper hole for himself. "That... I am flattered that a pretty girl like you, is intersted in a nerdy bookish guy like myself..." Why not just tie a noose around your neck, she's gonna leave now...
SHUT UP! He wanted to grab his head and just bang it against the floor, but he knew it would do him no good. "I think... that... That... I mean... kissing... should wait..." UGH, that's not how I wanted that to come out...
"I mean... Erm... uh..." He was trying to find a way to save this so that it didn't sound so terrible. "I really like you... I just... REALLY am not ready yet..." God he felt terrible for her... He was such a... He didn't really know how he could define what he was right now, but he knew he was TERRIBLE.
He moved over and sat beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Uhm... How about..." He swallowed slowly. "How about we talk a little bit more, get to know each other more?" He really did want to get to know her a lot more before he knew he'd feel comfortable in lip lock.

Kethara kept lookign down at her hand as she heard him speak, everything he said she wanted to wince. Instead of helping him she only made thing worst. She shook her head as she felt his hand touch her shoulder "I'm sorry.." she looks up sadness creeping into her eyes.
"I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I'll leave you alone, all you have to do is tell me so." she didn't hear anything about wanting to talk, she just heard how hard it was for him to say all of that.
Looking back down she closed her eyes sighing. Now she wanted to go back to her mountain to hide.

"I never said I wanted you to leave me alone..." Lucius said, his hand still restsing on her shoulder, he slid it slowly down her arm to take her hand, giving it a squeeze. "I've found that I like spending time with you, even if I'm a little bit scared..." He smiled at her and bit his lip. "I just... I don't know, I want to get to know you better." He smiled a little. "Like how my older sister and her... er... yeah..." He looked down at his feet. He wasn't even sure how those two were doing anymore... but he new they had started out as friends, and had weathered some of his fathers... er... tantrums...
"I'd like to talk to you... and get to know you... and then... see what happens," He said honestly, after all, it wouldn't do him any good to rush in headfirst only to trip and fall on his face...

Kethara looks down at his hand that was on top of hers. Turning it over she lifts it slightly linking her fingers though his. She lifts her head up to look at him nodding "Alright, I'll try my best then. I don't want to scare you. But I fear I'm to straight forward for you to be around." she laughs alittle then turns her body to face him.
Laying her head on the back on the couch she runs her finger lightly over his "Have I least broken alittle bit of the shell. Enough that you don't cringe from a small touch like this?" she bites lightly at her bottom lip. She was enjoying this. Just being able to talk to him was fun.

"I haven't pulled my hand back yet have I?" He asked with a smile. In truth, it was slightly unnerving, but he was trying to get over it slowly, like breaking in a new pair of shoes or something. But none the less, he was giving it a try.
"So..." He decided he wanted to try and start up the conversation again. "What are your favorite things?" He asked with a light chuckle, might as well.

Kethara shakes her head "No you haven't, I guess that a good sign." looking back down she thought for a moment about her favorite things. This was all new to as no one actually ever cared enough to want to get to knwo her. "I pretty much like the outdoors. So that my favorite thing, I'm at peace when I'm out in it. But my most favorite thign is the mountains."
Slipping her hand away from his for a moment she brushed her bangs from her face beore setting her hand back down. She figured if he wanted to hold her hand he would reach for it again.

And reach for it he did. He was trying to condition himself, at least that's how he saw it. If he was going to break his shell, he was going to need to reprogram how he saw physical interaction. Right now, holding her hand was a big step in what he hoped was the right direction.
"I like... books, the smell of them, the feel of their pages..." He sighed and closed his eyes, letting his head rest on the back of the couch. "What they can do for you..." He chuckled. "My books were my best friends..." He sighed a little. "I am such a bore..." He laughed weakly.

Kethara smiles "Book can take you where ever you dream or wish. So I can understand why you love them so much. But I don't understand what you meant by were your best friends. Do you have a new best friend or something?" she was only slightly curious.
She like that he took her hand again. she kept it still though as she looks down at her hand in his. She was glad he took it again. It meant he was breaking his shell and trying. She was glad for him.

Lucius opened an eye and looked at her, giving her a, 'you're kidding, right?' look. "Well I was of the mind that you were..." He chuckled a little at that. "Or at the very least, that you wanted to be." Or more for all I know, as to why... That's a mystery to me... why me?
He smiled and closed his eye again giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "They can't be my best friends anymore, because they keep me away from reality, they were my safety blanket... Where I would go when I didn't want the outside world to bother me, and it worked..." He sighed. "A little too well, but it worked... I know I have problems, the problem is, part of me doesn't want to fix them, and the part of me that does, doesn't know the first step to doing it." He sat there his eyes closed, his face nuetral as he tried to sort out his feelings. He enjoyed having Kethara around, she was one of the first Pae he'd found he could talk to without trying to back away, but he had the feeling it had something to do with her earlier advances, she had managed, at least in some small way, to strip away some of the bubble.

Kethara listens to him then looks away blushing, for someone who was staright forward she didn't expect what he said. Looking back she leans towards him giving his hand a squeeze "If I didn't know any better I would say you warming up to me. I'm glad you think of me as your best friend." kissing his cheek she leans back giving him space again.
She didn't look back up at him, she was smiling to much and was really happy. She was glad she was able to help him out if it was only just alittle at a time.

Lucius chuckled and blushed at the kiss on the cheek. He returned the squeeze she'd given him and let himself smile. "So, Colors, any particular favorites?" He was trying to get to know her favorite things, that way he could honestly say that she was his best friend.

Kethara thought for a moment as she lifts her finger to bite at the tip of it. Smiling she nods then wrinkles her nose up "Orange and then slate blue. But slate blue because it reminds me of the mountains. Orange I'm not really sure I just think it s a really pretty color." with a shrugs leans forward looking over the pattern on his skin.
She had only just notice it, so of course she was curious about it. Looking up she smiles "So what is your favorite color?" she sat back but kept glancing at the pattern every once in awhile.

Lucius chuckled. "Leather brown, and old page yellow," Lucius admitted a little sheepishly. He noticed she was eyeing his pattern, and his brow started to inch up slowly. "So uhm... see anything interesting?" Lucius had really never paid attention to it honestly, it was a part of him, and he saw it EVERY day.
