Soothing Headache

[Devon]

Ryder was in his room, awake bright and early, not that he had really slept much that night. What happened the night before was still fresh on his mind, but he was considerably calmed down about it now. At the moment he was preparing himself for work.

[Kender Bard]

Cleaned up and feeling refreshed - and cautiously hopeful - Nalani leaned against the doorframe and knocked at his door. "Ryder," she called out. "May I come in?"

[Devon]

Ryder went over to his door, took a breath and then opened it with a small smile. "Sure come in Nalani," he said as moved aside so she could enter the room.

[Kender Bard]

Nalani padded in. She glanced about before leaning against the wall and taking a deep breath. He doesn't seem mad. That was a good sign. "I wanted to apologize for what happened tonight," she said, and offered him a weak smile, probing cautiously with her words to see what his reaction would be.

[Devon]

"I shouldn't have run off either," Ryder replied. "We could have talked about it, but I left instead. I'm sorry Nalani."

[Kender Bard]

Nalani pushed away from the wall she was closest to and approached him, reaching for his hand. "I want to make it up to you," she said, quietly.

[Devon]

Ryder took hold of her hand and smiled a little. "You don't have to," he said. "This is something we can work on together when we're ready."

[Kender Bard]

"I want to," she said firmly and stepped closer to him, close enough that she was almost pressed up against him. With her other hand, she caressed his cheek softly. "I love you, Ryder," she said in a low voice and nuzzled him.

[Devon]

Ryder could no longer protest as she grew closer to him and after feeling her soft touch, he didn't care to. "I love you too," he replied back.

[Kender Bard]

"Do you have time?" she asked, and moved her head slightly so she was nuzzling his neck now. Her arms went around him and she cupped her wings forward lightly.

[Devon]

"Yeah, I have the time," Ryder said softly, enjoying her nuzzling. His own hands found their way around Nalani's waist. "I don't have to be there for another hour or so," he commented.

[Kender Bard]

"Well if you run late anyway, then you can blame me," Nalani stated, a little smile curling on her face as she kissed his neck softly and with none of the hesitancy that she had displayed the night before.

She was a quick student. It was always one of her better traits.

[Devon]

Ryder leaned his neck to the side instinctively to give her better access as he enjoyed her soft kiss. "I'll just say, I had a vision of me being late, so I made sure it came true," he replied with a small grin.

[Kender Bard]

A bubble of laughter escaped her and Nalani pressed more firmly against him. She was eager to try out her new tricks, while she remembered most of them. "I promise not to run away this time," she whispered and kissed him fiercely.

[Devon]

Ryder returned her kiss, matching her passion. Carefully he led them to his bed before they fell over onto the floor of his room.
