When her fingertips touched the pear, it was also just to the point that they touched his own. But only just. Far less than would usually be desired, from a beautiful woman. Eyes never wavered, not for an instant as the juicy fruit was brought to her lips, suckling on it for a long moment. Just listening. With far greater intent, than a woman who should be damn near 2 sheets into the wind.
When he moved away, her eyes followed. Again, those violet orbs intent and strong enough that he could feel such, moving up from his feet, over his arse and up the line of his spine. And when he turned, they met his gaze before boldly going down his front. Lips parted only just, tongue capturing a drop, bring it back into her mouth before another bite was taken. Slow, deep deliberate breaths eyes straying nowhere except on those dark green eyes.
"Those rules no longer apply to me. I am alone." Stated bluntly, yet in a softly spoken voice that beget volumes of information. She had walked away, from it all. The Lodge, her friends... everyone.

"Why am I here?" Taking the wine closer she took in its scent, staring into the ruby depths as though trying to glean her future. "I wish to learn. And in that try to give more reason, more purpose to my life. Something you above all should appreciate. A student, eager to learn, wanting a better life."
