Welcome to Gaia! ::

He was becoming more comfortable with draining. It wasn't as hard once he got over his own nerves and fear of ******** it up every time. The man had made a few changes over a couple months where Laine was coming out of her depression to make himself feel better. His hair was short. Gone were the dreads that everyone loved so much. It was a lot shorter, and super curly, even with enough relaxer in his hair to kill a horse. Not only that, he was growing some scruffy facial hair, a beard and a mustache was almost prominent on his face.

He was wondering if Laine was going to notice his hair tonight as he wandered in the door, a pearl of energy in his pocket. He was going to put it in a box on the dresser with a few others until he decided to go visit Richard at his sweet shoppe one day next week.

With Kor's boots making noise on his floor, he wandered around the small place to look for Laine. It was late, so he imagined she was still out for a little longer.

"Aw. Empty."

Just as he was about to wander out of the bedroom, he heard the window clatter open and various curses being sputtered. So he stood there and watched as his fiance basically tripped on her own things and her own feet and he just couldn't help but stifle his laughter to try to figure out how long she was going to carry on talking about burning her shoes and everything else in the house. Please don't. He lived here too!

Still, he watched the white haired woman, leaning against the door to the bedroom and looking fairly comfortable even as she finally noticed him.

There was the confusion Kor was hoping to see. Laughing out loud finally, the black haired man wandered over to her and waved when she made sure who she was. "The one and only, klutz." He shifted to help her up, taking her shoes away and shoved them in the closet with a fairly pointed look. "Why the hell are you cling through through the window? ...And brandishing shoes. ...Well no, I can figure that one out, but still."

Kor just continued to laugh and wandered closer, taking that shoe too and threw it in the closet before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into a hug. After pressing a kiss to her forehead, the taller man hummed and rubbed at the scruff on his face. "I didn't shave, is what I did to my face... And I spent most of the day in a salon, unlocking the dreads, having them cut, hair washed really good and then dyed black. Natural color, you know." He gave her a wink before shifting on the mattress. He'd had to flop on it to get her into a hug. So he pulled her head against his chest and stretched himself out with a deep sigh and a hum.

"'s bad?"

"Mm. It got hot and heavy and honestly? I wanted a change. Though.." He laughed a little and shrugged. "When it got cut I got dizzy and light headed from the weight that was on my head." He gave her a little bit of a wink and just scratched a hand through his hair, scratching his scalp a lot easier than he could before.

"Black's my natural color, yeah. Kept up with color for the longest time and decided there are better things to spend time and money on." One of his hands slid over her hip, squeezing it and just let her inspect his scruffy face. "You know, the facial hair didn't grow over night. It's been a few days, a week or something? You really hadn't noticed?" At the same time he asked, his hand slid up from her hip, up her side and toward a white dread lock before he hummed and nodded. "I figured."

"I'd be there to catch you," he said, winking a little before pulling woman against him again and just hummed as she played with his hair and them seemed to puff up like a bird. Aw, cute. She wasn't a panda, she was a puffy bird! The grin on his face just grew wider and wider, if at all possible.

Then Laine mentioned she'd been busy and Kor just hummed and nodded. "Trust me, I've noticed." That's why he now was running his hands over her back, digging into her muscles there, giving her a bit of a massage. Then she went on to the story that she was born with black hair and he reached up and tugged one of the smaller pieces. "White suits you. It's a great contrast." With that, he pushed their foreheads together and then kissed her slowly.

Kor missed kisses lately, missed holding her, the sight of her smiling, the sound of happiness in her voice. Even if this wasn't happiness, it wasn't depression, so it made him happy.

"Mm.. For being you. You're cute." He kissed her forehead and just gave her a playful shove. "Go on. Fuzzy will get things ready while you go shower and clean yourself of the city. ..Maybe I'll make you a sandwich if you're lucky." Kor's green eyes lit up playfully before he winked at her and slowly peeled himself away.

Laine was being playful and very much like her old self and Kor was going to finally be able to relax about talking with her without getting his head bit off. "Or maybe I'll cook. Who knows. You won't until you're less smelly."

Kor cringed at her vegetarian style sandwich menu and just snorted. "Puh-leaze, honey, there's so much more to it than that. I need to feed you vegan food without actually knowing what you're eating. HE grinned at her, leaning in and kissed her after the pinch.

And then she was away off the bed, falling gracelessly to the floor and he laughed hard and then watched her, eyes. "Look here, lady. Go get showered before I actually spank you!" He threatened her with a flip flop and then sighed once she was in the bathroom, shaking his head. What a woman. That was, for a fact, the best reason he fell in love with her. She made him smile and laugh and was basically his best friend. All those cheesy things said marry your best friend right?

I must have done something right, he thought to himself, a grin appearing over his face.
