"Believe me, I'm not sorry that you did. And you're right, people don't generally do that in my time, or in his, probably." She folded her arms over her chest. "And I don't think he'll do that again."
She seemed to notice then that Kal was getting as upset about this as she was.

:::He wasn't even looking at her anymore:::
That- that... Pirate!
:::his fists clenched again and Kal took a few steps back towards the main room, but stopped, and turned around, came back to where Luana stood having changed his mind about going in there again:::
Man, he just. That... hhhhrrr.
:::To stop his arms from flailing again, he took hold of Luana's upper arms:::
You're alright? You sure..? Cuz I'll really go back in there if you want, that- RRr.

She just looked at him. "K, I'm fine now. Are you?"

Good, good... yeah- h, me?!
:::His shoulders sank just a tad, and his brow raised out of its angry scrunch in a bit of surprise:::
Oh- yeah. uhhhhhhh...
:::His head drooped forward:::
Sorry, that just, that pisses me off.

Luana realized then just how close K was now. That little alarm bell started going off in the back of her mind again. Say something, will you?!
"You're really upset," she said. "But, he didn't kiss you."

Luana inched closer, though she would later have no memory of the fact that she had moved closer.
"At least you had enough sense to get us out before you did."

I know! I just got so- angry. I mean I felt-
::: jealous... Kal finally heard himself think before speaking. He looked at Luana, and realized where they were...how they were. Was this wrong? Would he be just as messed up as Kara if he started doing this with someone from the Brink... of all places, the Brink:::
:::He bit the inside of his cheek and looked back down again:::

"Felt how?" she asked. "Finish what you were saying." Her voice was softer now.

:::He lifted his gaze but not directly at her, it was to the side:::
Y'know.... u-upset. He, he shouldn't have done that.
:::He paused:::
Was that... was that the first time you-

"Yeah, actually. It was." It felt strange for her to admit.
She'd had a boyfriend or two in her high school life, but that was more so that the princes on campus could show her off: their girlfriend, the daughter of the Liam McColn.

:::He released a long breathe through his nose, and then to avoid the urge to look directly at her, he pulled her into a hug:::
Man... I'm sorry.

Her arms had been crossed over her chest before, and were now pinned between their two bodies.
"Kal..." What could she say? She found that she liked being this close to him, but words now failed her completely. The rational thoughts that normally buzzed about her mind like a hive of work bees were quieted to a low hum, and something else seemed to overtaking it. It was something that focussed more on her senses.

:::His thoughts seemed to bounce rapidly off one another and the inside of his skull... should he be feeling this way? Was it wrong? What would it mean for them? They were from such different places. What if he was kidding himself and she felt nothing like this at all in return?:::
:::But he couldn't deny it now, it had become obvious. All this time he managed to avoid thinking of romantic relationships. That was Kara's thing...he was too busy being the responsable prince to be distracted with it, but now that it was there in his arms, it didn't feel bad... he didn't feel guilty:::
:::Kal closed his eyes for a moment and took a breathe. It bothered him so much to see someone else touch her. That was the first thing in a long time to make so much sense to him...:::
:::His hands moved down to cradle her back, and he leaned his head down to whisper to her:::
That should have been me...

Those five little words echoed through her. It was probably the only truely complete thought she could focus on. It was an odd desire she felt, as if she could melt and merge...
Her arms moved on their own, up and around his shoulders.
What am I doing?
