“TRUST you? Trust you?? – H–how–What have you done in the last 24 hours to gain my full attentive trust, hmm?! So far you’ve threatened someone’s life – probably burned something down. – What you think a kiss is going to change the fact that I know things about you? Like some fairy tale? I have news for you, Buddy. I have a Ph’D. Okay? A Doctorate! I’m not some bimbo that you can just try to hypnotize!!” She’s not sure when she got so…antsy. The word vomit merely poured out all at once and she’s sure she’s angered him.  

        “Ky, all I wanted was an nice dinner. A nice quiet dinner so we could talk – maybe. Maybe, kiss a little…maybe more…” she blinks and shake her head motioning with her hands. “That’s – besides the point. I just. Wanted a moment. With you.” 

       _{“i have a tail too.” in reality, he was trying to just get the conversation off track. just to see if that would calm her down. was he angry? a little, but he was trying to control it, and not hurt her. it might not last, but this was a genuine attempt… something more than he just gave anyone. “among other things.”}

      _{a slight grin pulled at his lips for a few moments. “besides, if you just wanted a nice dinner… you could have asked.” talking… well, that was another thing entirely, but for now… he was going to take it slow. the last thing he needed was to lose control in a public place.}
