Heartfelt Cye|Malagard | Khelek

[Devon]

Cye walks through the streets of Khelek with a bright smile on his face. Waving and greeting the people of Khelek he passed, though most were quick to give him an odd look. Making his way to Kyss' home he stops at the front door and playfully knocks.

[Kender Bard]

Kyss opened the door, already figuring she knew who it was; who else visited her? "Cye!" she squealed, smiling happily at him. Taking his wrist, she tried to guide him inside where the smell of cookies lingered in the air. "I figured you'd be coming so I made a treat."

[Devon]

Cye willingly follows Kyss inside. Smelling the cookies in the air his already broad smile, grew even bigger. "Cookies! I love cookies. Kyss you're amazing."

[Kender Bard]

"Don't say that until you taste them," she sighs, but still smiled. "I think they got a bit burnt..."

Which was an understatement. The undersides were almost black. She picked one up and bit into it, frowning but still eating it. "Well they're okay. But like I said..." She shrugegd, smiling sheepishly.

[Devon]

Cye picks up a cookie, examines it and then scarfs it down. It might have been a bit burnt, but the Water/Ice elemental didn't seem to mind at all. "They're still pretty good. Besides you made these just for me, how could I not like them?" Shuffling around in his pack, he pulls out a small rectangular shaped gift. "I got you something. Come on open it open it!"

[Kender Bard]

Surprised, Kyss took the package with a puzzled look and carefully unwrapped it. She wasn't the kind of person who tore into her gifts. "Well, well, you didn't have to get me anything Cye. What do we have here...?"

[Devon]

Inside the package was a book. During his stay here Cye randomly found himself in a local bookstore and decided to get one for Kyss since she was such an avid reader. "I didn't know what kind of books you liked to read, so I picked one that I thought would be pretty good. It's a book on myths and fairy tales from Khelek."

[Kender Bard]

"I love all books," Kyss said softly, as though the book were a holy thing and she must speak quietly around it. She hugged it close, imagining all the joy that it would bring her as she discovered each tale in turn. Setting the gift down, she hugged Cye next, resting her forehead lightly against his as she said, most heartfeltfully, "Thank you, Cye. This is a magnificent gift."

[Devon]

Grinning at her reaction to the book, Cye happily returned her hug. "I had a feeling you'd love it, and I'm very glad you did." He didn't seem to mind at all just how close they were currently. "Kyss if you could do anything, anything at all in the world. What would it be?"

[Kender Bard]

Kyss frowned as she thought, not pulling back as she was absorbed in trying to answer the question. "I'd want... To go somewhere. Anywhere." She tilted her head, finally moving back. "Why?"

[Devon]

Cye grabbed hold of Kyss' hands in his own. "Good thats exactly what I was hoping you were going to say. See I think I want to leave in a month and I want you to come with me. I know it sounds pretty crazy to ask this all of a sudden, but you've been wanting to go somewhere. So you might as well come with someone you know."

[Kender Bard]

Kyss felt her jaw drop and made no effort to shut it as she stood, staring wordlessly at Cye. "Cye.. I..." Hugging him tight, she trembled and breathed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." And kissed him once, quickly, but heartfelt.

[Devon]

Cye for probably the first time since she had met him was speechless as she kissed him. Blushing he looked down, "You're very welcome Kyss." Kyss, kiss, the word kept tugging at his head. Looking up to face her, he replied in kind by returning the kiss.

[Kender Bard]

A ripple of.. excitement? Lust? Whatever it was, she felt a shock of thrill chase down her spine as she drew the second kiss out longer, more tender.

Finally pulling back, it was her turn to blush and look at anything but Cye. She would have apologized but his actions seem to say that none were needed. "A month from now... Where.. Can you afford to stay at the inn that long? I..." She felt heat flush her face hotter. "You may stay in my home if you so desire until you're ready to depart."

[Devon]

Cye took a long look at Kyss, admiring her face as she spoke and blushed. "If we're going to leave in a month, I should probably get out of the inn now. We need enough to last us until we make it somewhere else." Copying her from earlier, he lightly rested his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes. "I don't want to intrude on your home, but I'll have to borrow your couch for a while longer." Smiling he added, "Hm how does Reave sound to you?"
