Ruh Roh (One on One)

She hesitated for a moment before taking his hand.

“Maybe... maybe you could come see my home.”

 

She hesitated, looking nervous.

“I think so. We’d have to hide from Alyndar Aspen, though.”

 

She pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"Hm... well, it's a dumb rule. And Alyndar Aspen loves and trusts me. And I trust you. So as long as you don't plan on cutting off my wings, I think we're okay."

 

She frowned, rubbing the back of her neck.

"She won't let you see if she meets you," she said flatly. "The Alyndar does not tolerate humans."

 

She sighed, leaning back to look at the sky.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to."

 

She glanced at him, moving slowly to take his face in her hands.

"Bug, do you trust me?"

 

"You won't get in trouble," she said with a smile. "If we get caught, she'll probably send you away. It would be my fault and I'm willing to take that risk."

 

She pursed her lips before leaning in and kissing him lightly.

"It would be fuunnnn..."

 

She relented, pulling away.

"It's okay, Sam. We don't have to go."

 

She rubbed his arm, giving him a warm smile.

"Sure, Bug. I look forward to it."
