:::Kal felt Luana's hands come up, away from her chest, welcoming him to lean closer to her. He let his cheek grace past hers as he moved to look at her. He saw her eyes for just a moment before lowering his gaze to her lips. And when his nose tilted just so, and fit gently next to hers he paused...
his lips tugged to one side in a little smile... he thought, perhaps he aught to make sure:::
May I...?

Without thinking about it she gave the slightest nod.

:::Kal inched the rest of the way in, until he could feel her lips pressed to his. He let them stay there for a moment, to taste them. His one hand stayed pressed on the nape of her spine, the other came up and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear where it lingered. His thumb cupping her cheek so that he could feel the preasure of their kiss in his hand.
His head tilted and he used his lower lip to part hers, breathing through his nose suddenly when he felt the rush of it. The hand on her back gripped tighter and pulled her in, closer:::

The alarm bell was abruptly silenced. Her eyes closed. She pulled him closer as well, until there was no space between them. She was excited, yet a little afraid. This was the place for instinct and experience, neither of which were her strong points.
The feeling of it... That desire to merge... There was nothing in existance that mattered but that, this moment, her and Kal...
The input of her senses was burned into her memory: his smell, the taste of the kiss, the sound of her heartbeat mingled with his breath, the feel of his skin against hers...
So, this is what a kiss should be like...

:::He'd become so wrapped up in her, the back of his neck tingled where he felt her fingers, even their slightest moves sent sensations down his spine. His hand moved from off her cheek, past her chin, sliding down to her neck, resting at her collar bone for a moment to feel the way her chest heaved as they breathed together:::
:::His tounge swept her upper lip, testing... begging for something in return. The hand he'd placed on her back had moved to the curve of her hip, unbeknownst to him, slowly inching to the edge of her robe:::

As they stood there, pressed together, her feeling his hands move over her, something even stronger than her alarm bell came back her mind. Placed carefully between her breasts so that it would not show through the spandex was her angel's locket.
God was watching.
Upon realizing this her eyes snapped open and her hands moved back down to his shoulders, focing herself to gently push him back and break up that intimate moment.

:::Kal snaps out of it suddenly when she pushes him away. He's still only inches from her, his hands still at her sides:::
I- I'm sorry... what's wrong..?
:::he kisses her cheek in a few different spots as he waits to figure out how to fix whatever was the matter... so he could kiss her again:::

What's wrong? What to tell him? Would she tell him about the morality of their actions, or the truth about what she does in the Brink? She felt his lips on her cheek.
"I- It's not you... I... I just..." She couldn't decide what it was she was going to say. That part of her mind was dormant now, but that alarm bell rung softly in her heart.

:::He heard the distress in her voice and realized that something really was up. His arms found their way to her back again, hugging her, and he leaned his forhead against hers, speaking quietly:::
It's alright...
:::He ran a hand through the hair behind her ear so he could touch her face again:::
...you can tell me

Can I? she thought. Can I really? You believe in Tavin... But maybe... maybe that's why you need to know... Or she could lie. No, it wouldn't excatly be a lie, it just would not be the complete truth. That was just as bad in reality, but what choice did she have?
In that moment that had just ended, there had been an istnace where she could no longer tell where she ended and Kal began. Then, she felt as if he were part of her. She could not lie to herself, could she really tell any kind of lie to him?
"I... In my world..." she began.

:::He could tell this was going to take some time. He took a breathe of her through his nose, to try and stop his heart from pounding:::
Mm hm...
:::He listened:::

She could not keep it to herself any more. She did not want to. With everything that had happened in the past few months, to her home, her family, her best friend... It was all too much to bear alone.
"The way I was raised, intimacy was meant to be shared by a man and a woman who were joined together as husband and wife in the sight of God and witnesses." Her tone was almost like that of a student reading from a text book, but it helped her put her thoughts in order as she spoke. "And any other physical intimacy is a sin. Everyone has God watching over them in my time, but even if he somehow isn't here, I'm still being watched..."

:::Was she talking about her religion..? She was. Kal tried to understand what she was saying, about marriage and physicial intimacy being a sin. Was this a sin? That didn't seem right, it's one thing for people to be watched over by God, but Luana was talking as though, she was being spied on doing something wrong:::
:: biggrin espite the fact that this might be going against her beliefes, it didn't seem like she was backing out, she wasn't pushing him away anymore, so he stayed closed, he kept his arms around her.
And then she said, if God wasn't watching...:::
What do you mean being watched?

She moved back just a little so she had room to move, but not enough that she was out of Kal's reach. She opened the front of the robe a little at the top, far enough that the top of the golden sunburst shone like the real sun between parting clouds. With one hand she reached inside the neck of the spandex suit and pulled on the platinum chain from which hung the pendant.
"Around the time that I started coming here, to the Brink, I was visited by my guardian angel. He gave me this." She pulled it out, letting the platinum locket hang uncovered. It shined as brilliantly now as it did when it was given to her, and the mark of the lightning-slashed zero was clearly visible. "He said that it was a locket from heaven, and as long as I wore it he could hear and see everything that I could, no matter where I went."

:::Kals eyes widened at the site of the locket. Much like in the legends of Cora's locket, this seemed familiar:::
A guardian angel came to you here...?
:::He eyed it, curiously then ran his fingers under the chain to pick it up and look more closely at it. The symbol on it meant nothing to him:::
:::Something didn't feel right... maybe it was all the talk about the opressive eyes and fists of Omegatropolis that he learned to fight against all his life...or maybe it was simply because this is what tore them away from their moment:::
Luana, why is heaven watching your every move?
