Ruh Roh (One on One)

"Well, you should use it," he said, rubbing her back slowly. "Don't waste it."

 

He paused, tilting his head in confusion.

"Siren, what are you talking about? I couldn't do that."

 

He looked down at it for a moment before giving her a small kiss.

"I can't take your first blade from you. Especially one like that."

 

He hesitated, looking down at it again.

"Tez, are you sure? That's too much to give to someone..."

 

His fingers closed around the handle uncertainly.

“Thank you.”

 

He gave her a grin, kissing her temple.

“Of course.”

 

His face grew dark and he took her hand, squeezing slightly.

“We don’t need to talk about it. Let’s just get you home.”

 

He rested his arm across her shoulders, kissing her forehead.

“What else did you do at the market?”

 

“Oh, siren. Don’t worry.”

 

“Because humans are disgusting Tez,” he said in a tone that she would find strangely unfamiliar. “They’re selfish and greedy and sadistic. You can never trust them.”
