'Even if we didn't speak that often then...' he paused and let his hand slowly trail down her forearm, when he reached her hand, he took it in his and gently squeazed it.
'I'm happy we got to talk more now.'
He looked at her, a questiong glint resting in his eyes.
'Tell me what you wish.'

*A girl should have some secrets left...shouldn't she?* was the reply, spoken in a rueful tone of voice. She held his hand for a moment more and then shook her own head. *You were...seemingly always distracted. Or so it seemed. Someone with too many thoughts on their mind, with little time to sift them. Or little desire to. You were perpetually distant. Proper, correct as befitting...* she shrugged gently. *I was there. I watched...I pretended not to listen. I played my own role. It's selfish, this wish, maybe even hurtful. I don't think I should say it.*

He'd been distant? He hadn't seemed to have the desire to figure his own thoughts out?
He swallowed and looked away. What could cause him to become like that? He couldn't recall anything... but perhaps that was because he hadn't accepted whatever it was that had bothered him.
'Everybody has secrets.' he paused and looked back at her, his head tilting to the side and his eyees cirnkling into an understanding smile, 'you are entitled to yours.'
((I've gotta run. Bye bye! XD))

*In public.*She hastned to clarify. *Of course, I did not see you outside of the social setting...that I recall...If I recall.* Her voice was a bit blurry.
How could she have said what she wished? To do so would be a horrible breach of propriety. Also...it could be hurtful. Better that he had not pressed. She was not in the mindset now to contrive something. She felt awkward again, like she needed to babble incessantly to fill the void of things. She wished she had the social graces she always lacked.

Kasai smiles and starts back toward the house he shares with his chosen, he really wanted to show Cin the pond too. Because then she wouldn't be able to come up with an excuse as why she couldn't take him to get some fish for it. Kasai smiled to himself and started to move more quickly toward his house. Cin is going to totally freak when she sees that the pond is working!
Cin nods, "Of course we won't know all that until we get the stuff analyzed but if it is exportable, we should definantly take it to Ice and have her help us out with it. Since she is the head of the colony and such, plus she might know how to create a contract to keep people from over mining it and hurting the planet." Cin lays her glass down and stretches, the she starts closing the machine up. "and since I have it out I might as well show you 'Mycroft' in the flesh...kinda." Touching a barely visible button on her wrist comm. a small circuit board pops out, carefully grabbing it from the edges she slides it into the side of the holovid device, then she lightly taps a switch on the holovid. In the next moment a man is standing in the room. He is dressed in a smoking jacket and expensive lounging pants, his hair is graying at the temples and he is looking around through thin wired glasses on his nose. Looking from Cin to Trivii he bows well puffing on a pipe, "My ladies."
"I don't think I introduced you before, Trivii this is Mycroft - Mycroft Trivii."

It was becoming awkward again. He almost groaned in frustration. Why did this always happen when they were just... talking?
'It's alright,' he gently leaned his head against hers, to reassure her, and then stepped back.
'Besides...' he shot her a sly glance and tried to lighten the mood, 'Even though I'm sure you didn't, it would have been kind of cute if you had watched me.'

She spluttered for a moment. She remembered doing just that, but no way she'd tell HIM! *Even if you did...that would have been...really...very...* she stumbled hastily over her words. Even if he thought it was cute....it was...well... *unprofessional.* she finished lamely, unable to come up with a worse condemnation than that.
*Cute?*she asked after a moment, kicking herself as she did so.

POST FOR TRIVII
Saniya watches Kasai move towards his home, thinking for and instant before following, that it was really out of character for someone so drawn to fire to be that excited about a pond... she certainly wouldn't be that thrilled about a bon fire... Hurring to catch up to him she asked, 'Do you think she'll be pleased?' Maybe it was the thought of pleasing Cinder, that made him happy...
Trivii listened closely, to what Cinder had to say, blinking when Mycroft appeared... "No need to call me lady Mycroft.." Bowing her head habitually, "Especially if we're going to work Together... Its just Trivii"

'Unprofesional,' he scoffed, waving the word away, trying to hide how amused he was with her reaction.
'Dealing with feelings is more important then whether or not something's professional.'
He lifted an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest, shivering a bit as the damp cloth made goosebumps spread up his arms.
'Yes,' he looked her up and down and then stopped, trying to figure out her expression, 'Cute.'

*Some feelings have no place, don't you think?* She answered. *they aren't always appropriate...or welcome.* her eyes glanced up at him and away.
What might be cute now in the vague might not be at all cute in practice. Maybe he was just trying to make her feel better

'Most of the time, ' he shrugged and kicked at a nearby stone, 'feelings can't be controlled.'
He studied her intently for a moment, wondering what was going through her head. 'Loneliness.. would be an unwelcome feeling, yes?'

*It's a horrible feeling.* she answered with complete truthfulness. *It's beyond feeling alone. Alone can be pleasant at times, solitary meditation....or even just being by yourself with your thoughts.*
She wrapped her arms around herself to counter not just a physical chill, but an emotional one. *But being truly lonely...it's like...like you're a ghost. Noone sees you or hears you. You could stand in the middle of a room shouting at the top of your lungs...and noone would even be able to recognize it. It's like a trap...a cage of isolation. It's...it's terrible to feel that way.*

'Shi...' he murmered, feeling a lump form in his throat. It was difficult to think that anybody could feel that way... and for some reason, the thought fo Shiva feeling so alone made his throat tighten.
He reached out to her, wrapping his arms around her smaller frame.
'It sounds terrible,' he agreed.

She clutched at him briefly and then sniffled. *There has to be something wrong with me that I push everyone away.* she admitted softly. *I'm afraid to go home because I don't want to see that I destroyed another relationship somehow. I feel like I ruin everything just by being there.*

'There's nothing wrong with you,' He shook his head, 'You don't ruin every relationship. We have a pretty good friendship. Have you talked to Chae yet?'
He paused and began to rub her back, the damp clothing feeling strange against his palm.
'Would you like me to talk to her?'
