Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laven let out an undignified snorting sound and rolled her eyes behind his back. “Maybe next time, as long as we are the same rank, I’ll let you practice different fighting styles. But as it stands, if you’re only other option aside from claws is teeth, I’d kind of like to avoid getting bit again.” Although, despite it being a bit of a morbid thought, she had to wonder if his venom was something that someone could become immune to overtime.

“As for your story, I’ll keep that in mind. Just know that, if you’re not comfortable talking about it, I’m not going to twist your arm and make you tell me.” He had been pretty open with most things but she knew that there were others that he kept to himself. “I mean I could… but-” Just to be a nuisance, Laven stuck her tongue out at him playfully and winked.

There have been a few occasions where she had been a bit stubborn and refused to let a topic go but Laven also knew when not to push. It wasn’t that she wasn’t interested in the reasons behind some of his decisions or what caused him to withdraw into himself at times. If anything it was because she cared about him that Laven worried about reopening old wounds and the damage it might cause that might make him walk away or forget the promise he had made to her.

Not wanting to allow herself to worry about such things she placed bother her hands on his shoulders “I just need you to guide me through the hall again.

Laven, on her part, looked as if she had just taken a wild ride on a precariously put together wooden coaster then tossed into a clothes dryer on high spin for good measure. It was pretty clear that she didn’t share the same sentiment with regards to the hallway but if she ever wanted to return to the Rift, it would be something she would have to get over.

Her stomach churned aggressively and for a moment there she felt very grateful that she hadn’t had a really big lunch prior to coming. “Don’t stop…” Like an impatient child Laven’s hands remained on his shoulders as she pushed him onward through the castle, backtracking to the best of her ability but there were a few turns where he had to correct her.

When finally they got outside, she exhaled loudly then finally allowing herself to breathe normally again. “Not a word…” The look on her face almost dared him to say anything as she poked him in the shoulder with a pointed claw. “Lets go take care of your hands, properly, now that we’re back.”
