• She was comfortably stretched out on his chest, her cheek resting over his heart as she let out slow and even breaths, slowly rousing to the mornings light. It had to be early, her body knew her usual time to wake up was around eight but it was before that because she was feeling lethargic. The night before had been emotionally draining, it had been weird to see her strong and cocky Kyrian so emotionally broke down. She had tried to comfort him but it seemed like it was to no avail and she wasn't quite sure what to do to make him better again. Shifting a little, she moved her leg a little higher on his hip and pressed a warm, lingering kiss to his pulse, her lashes delicately brushing against his sensitive skin as she spoke. "Morning..." (NT) -- Haylie, 22:51:34 03/08/06 Wed

• (He let out a low and very male groan as she roused him from sleep, an outward sign that he was aware of her and pleased that she was so close to him.) Morning. (He said back in that half-awake manner he had, one mossy green eye opening to look at her as he lifted one arm above his head to stretch a little, then wrapped his hand around her thigh again. He closed his eyes again in an obvious attempt to not see the doubt that he had a feeling would be in her gaze.. hell, if he had been her he would have left himself last night, the way he had been blubbering on and on about his screw ups. His other hand moved a lazy pattern over her lower back, revealing that the other part of his brain was at least thinking about her.. though he was still having that pesky issue of guilt..) (NT) -- Kyrian, 22:57:06 03/08/06 Wed

• She ran her hand over his chest absently, swallowing a touch. She couldn't help but feel like perhaps he was just done with her and thats why he seemed so uninterested. Her brow furrowed a little as she tugged the blanket a little higher on her body - never before had she had issues on feeling self conscious but at the moment she just felt like he didn't find her desireable and to be honest, he was the only man who's opinion mattered to her. "Did you get any sleep?" She questioned softly, her voice holding an early morning low, scratchy tone to it as she nuzzled her cheek against his skin. (NT) -- Haylie, 22:59:47 03/08/06 Wed

  ---

• (He definitely wanted her.. it was just that his body wasn't responding as it should to that revelation. It was just the guilt and the shame was putting altogether too much pressure and tension into his body to allow him to relax.. it was the same affect that adreneline had in making him alert.) Yeah, a little bit. (He murmured back, noticing that she had lifted the blankets more around her and sighing a little.. she had to think he was ignoring her at this point. First he had all but pushed her away in Scotland and now he was pulling back at a time when he was usually at his horniest. Trailing his fngers over her thigh, he chewed his lower lip, trying to figure out if he could will himself into arousal.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 23:03:49 03/08/06 Wed

  ---

• She bit her lip a little as tears pricked her eyes unexpectly and she nearly cursed as she felt them welling in her eyes like sharp little needles stabbing her lids. Clearing her throat, she tried to force the evidence of the tears from her voice as she shifted out of his arms to reach down and grab her t-shirt off the floor, tugging it on before she shifted out from under the covers. "I am going to go take a shower, maybe you could rest a little bit more before the day starts." She stated softly, turning to pad quietly into the bathroom - this wasn't going to be easy to get used too... (NT) -- Haylie, 23:07:15 03/08/06 Wed

• (He reached for her as she pulled away from him, but he wouldn't have known how to explain it to her then had he gotten a hold of her. Instead, he let her leave the room and then sat up, curling his toes into the cold carpet and leaning forwards to put his face in his cupped hands. This was getting rediculous.. he didn't understand what was wrong with him anymore than he knew where Shay was. All he knew was that he suddenly... wasn't... working. Growling in frustration, he slid his hands back into his hair, fisted them into the locks and tugged in frustration.. how was he supposed to reconcile with Haylie, if he couldn't at least have make-up sex with her? Chewing his lower lip, he got to his feet and walked over to the window, leaning against the frame to look out at the morning.. why the hell was the world so fucking cheery this morning?) (NT) -- Kyrian, 23:11:21 03/08/06 Wed

• She took her time in the shower and changed in the bathroom, tugging on a pair of comfortable jeans and a sweater, letting her hair go curly down her back and not worrying about any make up at the moment. Usually she would just wanted into the room in a towel and dress in front of him but obviously there was something about her that he wasn't feeling and she didn't want to put herself through getting rejected. It was about twenty five minutes later that she came out of the bathroom, smelling of warm vanilla body wash and shampoo and fully dressed, drawing a comb through her hair. "All yours." (NT) -- Haylie, 23:13:31 03/08/06 Wed

  • She was a little taken back by him suddenly moving to her but she just smiled a little, trying to reassure him as she ran her hand over the back of his head softly, slowly. "Hey..I know...I know baby..." She murmured softly, pressing a warm kiss to the top of his head. "I love you too, Kyr..." She really did, she always would, she thought at least - she had never really felt for anything or anyone like she did for him, it was a whole body experience, mental, emotional and moved her all the way down to her soul at times. She needed him to live and breathe... (NT) -- Haylie, 11:47:48 03/09/06 Thu

  ---

• (He let out a soft and slow breath against her neck, feeling immensely embarassed about his situation and not really knowing what to do about it. How could you explain something to someone when you didn't understand it youself? It was just torturing him to be so close to her right then, so he stepped back with a soft sigh and turned, pacing away from her a few steps and running a hand back through his hair.) We need to get in touch with our superiors and get the evidence from Shay's apartment. (He said, his voice muffled by his hand before he shoved both of them into the pockets of the dark grey slacks he was wearing.) We need to find her before Remy gets home.. I don't want to even imagine what he'll be like. (NT) -- Kyrian, 11:56:17 03/09/06 Thu

• "Right..." She murmured softly, obvious confusion and hurt written on her face as she turned to run a brush through her hair once more before she slipped her gun into her waist band, her ID, a credit card and some cash into pocket and then she was good to go. "Well lets go then." She was getting aggravated, not about to throw her heart out on the line there when he was giving her nothing in return. An attitude that he was well acquainted with - the ice queen attitude - was making her shoulders straighten and her head tip up, her walk purposeful as she picked up her cell phone and clipped to her pocket before heading out the door, not bothering to wait for him as she headed towards the lobby to see who else was there. (NT) -- Haylie, 19:55:14 03/09/06 Thu

• Inside -- Kyrian, 20:11:56 03/09/06 Thu
  • "Sure..." She stated, climbing into the SUV and pulling her sunglasses over her eyes, letting her hair fall back around her face as she settled in to gaze out the window, her jaw set as she urged herself into work mode, focusing on the case and going through what little she knew. There wasn't a whole lot to go over since she didn't know hardly anything and it was making her anxious to get the information that the CSI team had acquired and get on with this investigation so they could find their friend and just get on with their lives once again....

  • "Did they find out if the blood was Shay's or not?" She questioned, pulling out a notebook and a pencil, writing the date and time at the top and the header 'Evidence Files' across the top. After a few moments she ordered a cup of coffee and a muffin even though she wasn't really hungry. When it arrived, she immediatly dumped the required four packets of sugar in before she looked up at Kyr expectantly, though the expression wasn't the generally warm and affectionate one, it was pure business. She wasn't going to let her own personal hurt and confusion get in the way of finding Shay and taking care of this case. (NT) -- Haylie, 22:35:17 03/09/06 Thu

  ---

• (He blinked a couple of times to clear his mind and focus on the case, hating the fact that she was so adept at sinking into her role as ice queen so easily - she could win awards with that expression. Effectively put in his place, he leaned back in his chair and flipped through the toxicology and lab reports on the case, tilting his head as he found the one she wanted and looking it over.) Uhm.. depends on which blood.. looks like some of it was and some of it wasnt. (He said, his eyes lifting to meet hers and a thoughtful expression lingering in the mossy depths before he forgot what he was doing as he looked at her. After a second, he shook himself out of it and cleared his throat.) Indicates a struggle, and allows greater odds that she is alive. (NT) -- Kyrian, 22:39:38 03/09/06 Thu

  ---

• "She is alive, they are going to try and use her for leverage, I guarantee it." She stated softly, shifting to pull aside some files and start flipping through them. "You should get some coffee or something before you pass out." He hadn't got much sleep and she knew it, she could tell things about him by just a glance at his face and she knew he was exhausted both physically and mentally not to mention emotionally. It hurt, knowing that he didn't want her, that he wasn't attracted to her and it was strange, she felt out of place because her looks were what she had always fallen back on...but no matter what she would still be looking out for him - always have his back... (NT) -- Haylie, 16:01:07 03/10/06 Fri
  • (He nodded and his brow furrowed as he ran that information through his mind.. it made him feel an intense rage inside to think of someone using their sweet Shay as leverage for any cause. Absently, he scratched at his abs in that sort of thoughtless way he had that showed he was thinking too much for his own good. Remy often told him it was downright annoying, because he usually stretched while he was doing it, his shirt lifting to reveal his toned abs.. but this time he simply scratched at his shirt, his eyes sort of blankly staring at the salt shaker on the table. Hearing her tell him to order coffee, he looked over at her, but reached for a small packet that had the piece of torn material from a blanket that had been found in the apartment with Shays blood on it. When the waitress returned, he ordered some whole wheat toast and a glass of orange juice.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:05:39 03/10/06 Fri

  ---

• She really didn't know what else to say to him so instead she just fell silent and started writing down notes that may be important. She kept one page of paper for just facts on Shay - her blood type, the amount of blood splatter, the probably cause of the blood spill, etc - one on the intruder - their blood type, method of entrance, that sort of thing - and the third sheet of paper was used to jot down theories, suspicions and questions. In her quiet way, she was completely focused on her work, her brow knitted together lightly, the corner of her lip tucked into her teeth, her pencil making soft scratching noises against the paper that actually kind of soothed her for some reason. Occasionally she would reach over, taking a sip of her coffee but never looking up from the papers spread in front of her. (NT) -- Haylie, 20:37:15 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• (He was quiet for a long time as he listened to her work, consuming the toast when the waitress brought it and then downing the glass or orange juice in a way that made the waitress arch a brow when she came back to check on them. He just shrugged and nodded when she asked if he wanted more. Leaning back in his chair, he crossed his arms over his chest and eyed her for a long moment, yawning widely before focusing his eyes on the piece of torn material again. After a few moments, his eyes had closed and he was dozing lightly at the table, exhausted still from not sleeping. He had never been good at the case work, hated writing notes and things of that nature.. he was more interested in the field work.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 20:41:17 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• She worked tirelessly for close to an hour before she looked up and spotted him dozing. A low growl escaped her lips as she shut her notebook a little louder then necessary and then started putted the evidence away. She was getting aggrivated with him and her patience was wearing thin. He had hurt her pride by rejecting her advances, hurt her heart by leaving her at the alter and now he was just playing like he was the victim here and it was ridiculous. Her jaw set as she threw down some bills and stood up, grabbing the briefcase. If he woke up, fine, if not then she was going without him. (NT) -- Haylie, 20:47:28 03/14/06 Tue

• Inside -- Kyrian, 20:52:17 03/14/06 Tue
  • "Keys." She demanded as she turned, holding her hand out palm up to wait for him to hand them over. If he was to tired to do any damn work then he sure as hell wasn't driving. Her jaw was set and her dark eyes were guarded, the wall up in place firmly to hide any emotions from his searching - if he actually even cared - gaze. The icequeen was there in full effect, it was like the man in front of her had never even touched her soul as he had. She was an agent now and if he wasn't going to pull his weight in whatever area he could when he could do it then she was more then willing to just leave him alone and do her work on her own. (NT) -- Haylie, 21:02:57 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• (He had the keys in his pocket, and if she wanted them she was just going to have to go through him to get them as far as he was concerned. Oddly enough, where the icequeen had intimidated and annoyed him before, he now found it just as alluring as his Haylie was and couldn't help the way he smiled just a little at her as she huffed and puffed and prepared to blow his house down.) Knock it off Haylie. (He said softly, tilting his head just a little as he looked at her. Seeing her behave like this was presenting a sort of challenge that the agent in him found exciting. His mossy green eyes were searching her face and he could tell she was determined to keep him out, though that just made him more intent on doing so.. he had to have this woman as his, she had to succumb to him.. that's all there was to it..) (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:11:56 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• "Knock what off? Working? Someone's got to pick up your slack." She growled heavily, shifting to head over to the passanger side and opening the door. "If your going to insist on driving, at least attempt to stay awake." She slid in, buckling up her seatbelt and immediatly bringing out her notebook, flipping through the things that she had written down just to review and to help in her quest to thoroughly ignore his existance. She hardly looked her usual agent self in the jeans and hoodie she was wearing but she was comfortable and at ease and that helped her focus a bit more then she would if she was in restricting leather. (NT) -- Haylie, 21:20:55 03/14/06 Tue

• (He didn't move as she went about her little routine of venting at him, merely turned his head to watch her as she moved. He might find her alluring but that didn't make him immune to her barbs and it stung a little to realize just how mad at him she was. When the door closed on the other side of the SUV, it seemed to wake him up and he moved to get into his own seat, though he didn't start the vehicle, just sat there.) I meant this ice queen shit, knock it off. I know you're mad at me, though for the love of God I don't know why.. I know you couldn't possibly be this mad about me nodding off just now. (A muscle worked in his jaw as he watched the flag outside the restaurant flap in the wind. He looked thoughtful and dangerously close to falling asleep again, though he was fighting it as hard as he could.) I'd be no help to you working evidence anyways. (He tapped his finger on the steering wheel, fighting the urge to give up.. he felt so helpless.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 21:35:37 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• At the part where he stated that 'for the love of god' he didn't understand why she would be mad at him, she let out a low breath and clenched her teeth, trying very very hard not to just freak out and start beating the shit out of him just to make herself feel better. She had every reason in the god forsaken world to be mad at him, starting with the 'it's been fun' at the hotel, thats where she would start the list and oh goodness could it go from there. Instead of freaking out though, she just spoke in a low growl, keeping her eyes focused on the notebook in front of her. "How about you help by driving the fucking car." She stated coldly, her eyes narrowed at the print on the paper without really seeing it. (NT) -- Haylie, 21:50:11 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• (He narrowed his gaze on the flag, anger flaring up in him at the tone of her voice, the child within him urging him to slam his hands down on the wheel of the car and demand she tell him what he had done before he started the engine. Feeling too defeated to want to know what else he had done, he started the SUV and pulled out of the lot, the anger radiating off of him in hot waves as he navigated through traffic back to headquarters. He pulled up outside the building and got out without a word, slamming the door closed behind him and using the remote to lock the doors as he stalked towards the building.. he would blow it now if she were to speak to him.. he was just too angry and too down on himself to care if he made a fool of himself.)

    • She frowned a touch as she looked down at the phone on her hip, flipping it open. "Lambert." She stated, not having looked at the called ID as usual. A low breath escaped her lips as her brow knitted together and her eyes narrowed as two agents rushed by her at a job down into the hallway. She tipped her head to the side as she waited to see who was on the phone, checking her gun and then shifted her weight to continue on down the stairs... (NT) -- Haylie, 22:28:22 03/14/06 Tue

  ---

• (He pushed his foot down harder on the man's back as he fidgeted, getting a grunt before his captive went still again.) We got a big problem, Haylie.. I've got a man in custody and he knows something about Shay. (He tilted his head to the side in a wince as the red alert alarms sounded in the hallway, blaring in his ears and forcing him to plug his other ear.) I'm on the second floor by Skeeter's office. (He half shouted over the din, closing the phone since it was pointless to talk when he couldn't hear anymore. Hooking it back into the clip at his side, he shifted as one of the other agents put cuffs on the man, then reached down to haul him to his feet by his hair, waiting for Haylie before he would drag him off to an interrogation room.)

    • She flinched without realize she had at his gentle touch on her bruised cheeks - not because she was afraid of him or anything like that but just becaused her face was sore, bruising and swelling already. "Clocked me when I turned down the stairs, think he was trying to get at my gun." She shrugged a little, reaching up to touch her face gingerly before she looked back to him, all business at the moment and looking it in her leather suit - well she would have looked it more so without the swollen, busted lip and bruising face. "You should go in and see what you can get out of that guy. I'll start running their prints and see if we can find out who they are and who they are connected too." (NT) -- Haylie, 15:02:50 03/15/06 Wed
  • (That muscle in his jaw worked, he was thinking about just how slowly and painfully he wanted to dismember the men in the other room for hurting his Haylie.) Take care of yourself.. (He said in a voice rough with anger and emotion.. he wanted to protect her and work at her side, but they were incompatible at the moment it seemed. His hand curled into the collar of her leather top and he leaned in to press his lips softly to the undamaged side of her mouth before moving away from her to walk down the hallway. A few feet from her he lifte dhis hand to fist in his hair, the tension obvious in the knots in his shoulders and the almost stiff way he was walking.) Bring me some coffee. (He spat at the men outside the interrogation room before disappearing inside) (NT) -- Kyrian, 15:08:54 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• She watched him turn and walk away from her for a long moment before she let out a soft breath and spoke up. "Kyrian." She called out before she met his eyes with hers for a moment. "Be safe." She stated softly, her eyes lingering on him for a long moment before she turned to go run the prints as she had told him she was going to do. She slipped into the office, sinking down into the chair there and letting out a low breath, letting her head fall into her hands. She was so tired of this, she had thought she would be at her prime in field work but when this had all been thrown at her - Kyrian almost getting killed, her getting shot, Shay getting stolen, now this whatever was happening - it had been overwhelming and about to push her over the edge. She should have just stayed in the lab where she belonged. With a soft sigh, she grabbed a few tissues and held them to her bleeding lip as she started scanning the prints....

    • (He didn't look at her right away, figuring it was just Sanders coming in to remind him of his duty as an agent to uphold the law as much as possible.. he would just remind the man that this was personal and that he was going to do whatever the hell he wanted to get the information. One of the two men was laying on the table as though he had a headache, but he was passed out cold.. the other man had a face more colorful than Haylie's and was looking at her through swollen but determined eyes.) You shouldn't be here right now, Haylie. (He said, turning to look at her, looking more dangerous than he ever had. He grabbed the man by his hair and pulled his head back, looking down into his face and growling.) Tell me, or I will rip every strand of hair out of your head. (The two men stared at each other for a long moment.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:05:38 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• She shook her head, letting out a low breath before she stepped up to him, her eyes on him for a second before she ran her hand over his arm, stopping to squeeze his bicep. "This isn't working and they are about to drag you off the case if you don't chill out a bit." She stated softly, her voice privately quiet and only for him. "Come on...lets let them get processed and booked and all that..." She encouraged him to let go of the man, looking over her shoulder. Sanders had hoped she would be able to talk him down, she would be the only person capable of it if it was able to be done. (NT) -- Haylie, 16:16:01 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• (The muscle under her hand flinched and shifted from her touch and his eyes darkened as he fought inside himself to control his rage.) We need to find Shay. (He said as though trying to argue with her for the right to pummel the two men to pulps. He knew if he got kicked from the case he would merely work on his own, but then he would be rogue and liable to be jailed for his actions. Slowly he raised to his height, laxing his grip on the man before backing up a step finally and letting out a growl of frustration.) Fine. (He spat out, his body tight with frustration and tension at holding back.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:23:11 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• She frowned at his words and the way he spat the words out at her. Hurt flashed in her eyes for a second, feeling like he was implying that she didn't care about finding Shay. One last glance was sent to the men who were in the room before she turned, heading out the door and into the hallway where she ran a shaky hand through her hair. When he came out after her, she turned back to him, her brow furrowed as her jaw set and tried to keep from just freaking out yet again at him. "Listen, I know I am not the best field agent, I'm not Remy but I am doing everything I can in the lab and on the computers to figure out something, anything, understand?" She growled out, obvious hurt in her voice, she felt worthless, like she was no good at anything that was happening, she couldn't control anything. (NT) -- Haylie, 16:37:45 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• (He followed her out, completely unprepared for the way she freaked out as soon as they were in the hallway. His eyes widened and he stopped in his tracks, his head tipping a little to the side as he tried to figure out what he had done this time.) I never said anything about your abilities, Haylie.. you're a hell of a lot better than I could ever be in the lab and with the evidence and all that shit. (His brow furrowed in confusion and he ran a hand back through his hair, still tense and upset with everything.) That bastard knows where Shay is, and I will be damned if I will sit by and let him be booked so that someone can silence him before weget the information. (He let out a growl of frustration as he started to pace, and when he returned to stand before her, he thrust both hands into his hair and got that lost look again.) God, we have to find her.. (NT) -- Kyrian, 16:43:07 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• "Well having them unconscious isn't going to get you any information!" She growled out, raking her hand through her own hair as she turned to pace, her hand moving up to touch her cheek gingerly. She was tired, sick of this all and just wanted to sulk back down to the lab and conceed defeat in the field work. She would hide in her lab and not let her heart or her body get anymore battered then it already was. With her back to him, her hand went to the wall to support herself, her shoulders dropping just a little bit. "I..I am going to go keep running the prints..." She murmured softly, blinking away the moisture in her eyes as she straightened her shoulders once again and cleared her throat, pulling herself back together. (NT) -- Haylie, 16:58:33 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• (He instantly felt sorry for his behavior, even though he didn't really understand what he had done.. as far as he was concerned the men deserved it and had gotten the lesser of two evils - he could have just shot them in the legs. Frowning a little, he walked over to where she was standing, so close that his chest touched her back, his hips molded to her rear. His arms came up to move around her and his breath was warm against the back of her neck... he could see the fatigue in her and it bothered the hell out of him to see it.. he wanted to get her out of here and get the fire and love back in her eyes.) I'm sorry Haylie. (He said gently, as he closed his eyes half way, his temple touching the side of her head and the feel of her making him more than aware of how long it had been since he had held her.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 17:09:37 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• For a second, she allowed herself to relax back into his arms, to take comfort in his proximity and to rest in the comfortable security he provided. Her eyes slid shut for a long moment as she exhaled a slow breath before clearing her throat and blinking a few times to clear her eyes of the mist of tears, preparing herself to move out of his arms. He had pissed her off countless times recently but still, even through all the anger, she felt better being in his arms than anywhere else. Swallowing heavily, she rested her hand lightly on top of the arm that was wrapped around her midsection, her head tipped back to his shoulder as those in the hallway wisely gave them a moment of privacy. (NT) -- Haylie, 17:18:04 03/15/06 Wed

  ---

• (He turned his face into her neck as she leaned back against him, taking comfort in the fact that she still saught a bit of his strenght when he could feel the resolve in her. It gave him hope that they could work out their differences.) Haylie, we need to work together to get Shay back. (He said softly, still just quietly taking in her scent and the feel of her as he helt her close to him, his lips brushing her neck as he spoke.) God I need you.. (He murmured, because it was on his mind and it was making his body ache for her.) (NT) -- Kyrian, 17:34:45 03/15/06 Wed

• "I am not made out for field work..." She stated softly, sniffing a little. "I don't think I would be much help to you unless I was working in the lab..." She bit her lip, letting out a soft breath as she looked down at her bare left hand, where a ring was supposed to be. Things had all just fallen apart so quickly. At his next phrase, she frowned a little bit more intently, he sure as hell hadn't needed or wanted her earlier. Remembering that hurt and rejection caused her to step out of his arms though she did turn to face him, a small smile tipping her lips ruefully. "I'll see what I can do to find out who these guys are for you..." (NT) -- Haylie, 17:39:25 03/15/06 Wed

• (He sighed into her neck at her words, though deep down he sort of knew they were true.. she was too intelligent and too determined to work in the field.. the unpredictability would drive her crazy and the violence was getting to her. The fact that she stepped out of his arms right after he had said he needed her made him think, and he realized acutely that she was upset about him not making love to her when they had had the chance so many times.. then he realized how it must look that he had slept with the maids and then not with her. He cursed himself inwardly and reached out, laying a hand on her arm.) Can I talk to you later? Please? (He asked, his eyes softer now that he understood what was going on and had a little hope that he could explain to her or at least beg for understanding.) Is there anything I can do to help?

• She bit her lip, looking down at the hand on her arm with a little bit of nervousness in her gaze before she let out a soft breath and nodded. "Yeah...if we both haven't passed out." One foot went behind her in a step back as she cleared her throat lightly and shrugged her shoulders at his offer to help. "Um...there's not really a whole lot to do..kinda just watching the screen..." She shrugged a little, biting her lip and looking, for one of the first times, a little shy around him. She just didn't know what to think about him anymore, didn't know what to expect... (NT) -- Haylie, 18:04:59 03/15/06 Wed

• (He nodded as he watched her balk at his offer, wondering what he could do to make her feel comfortable around him again... then Shay's words came back to him about how she was the type of woman to like flowers, candy and romance. Maybe it was time for him to go out on a limb.) Okay.. well I am going to go back to the hotel room then, will you come back when you're finished here? (He asked softly, tipping his head as he looked at her pleadingly.) (NT) -- Kyran, 18:15:33 03/15/06 Wed

• She bit her lip a little again, unsure if sharing a hotel room with him was really the best idea anymore. At the soft tone to his voice though and the look in her eyes she couldn't help but nod. "Yeah..yeah I will go back to the room when I am done here." She offered him a slight smile, nodding a touch before she turned and headed down the hallway to the stairs leading down to the lab that was so familiar and comfortable to her - there she could focus and push aside worries....
