There was something off with the way he was presenting himself to her today, but she couldn’t put her finger on it just yet. It was as if he was adding extra flare to each word he spoke and to each action he made. Was he trying to hide something from her? At least that was the impression she was getting from him right now….which could mean two things.
Either he was being truthful and desired to share his emotions or…..he wanted something from her.
Sadly, she was leaning to the second option just slightly more. What exactly was he trying to achieve? Yet, she couldn’t find it in her to push him away, sheer curiosity was keeping her there, wanting to know what was making him to go to this distance.
“I suppose that does carry some truth. But can all of us bare that burden and responsibility? Not all of us can be so reckless as young and in love couples “ she joked a bit as small smirk did tug on corner of her lips
When did lean closer, she could smell his perfume even more, he truly was putting on a play. Unlike him, her own ice blue eyes remained locked on him, focused and observing his every little action. For a brief moment, she was ready to lean in and taste his lips but that thought was was pushed out the moment he spoke once again.
Supernatural? Was he really going in such direction? Something was…..not right, that much was painfully obvious. Deciding to play along, her gaze softened a bit as she let out a silent sigh, warm breath from her lips grazing his own. “I believe…there are many things that are yet unknown to most of us darling. Question is though, are we willing to accept such sort of things? “
Briefly she sled her hand closer to his own, fingertips gently brushing against his own as she whispered her warning. “Thread carefully Rohan, some things …no matter how intriguing, can be dangerous for those who are not prepared “
He does not object to her moving closer, or to her light touches; merely, he hums at her skeptical statement, and he stares right back at her, and her warm breath on his skin nearly makes him shudder in an inexplicable thrill. Both are observing each other very intently, and he knows that she’s smart enough to possibly be catching onto something.
“I’m trying to think of a way to continue the story, but nothing’s coming to me. I’ve never been good at incorporating believable romance into my work, so I have to try extra hard to make it interesting enough. Adding supernatural elements is a lazy way of doing it, I admit.”
His free hand is moved into his pocket, non-chalantly--and there, he rummages about, and grips onto his trusty fountain pen.
“Anyway... it’s very rude of me not to have commented on your appearance. That’s the standard procedure when you first meet someone for a date, right? I’m suprised you didn’t lecture me about that. You really seem to enjoy listening to me talk, even if I have nothing to say.”
A small, derisive smile forms on his lips--but it quickly diminishes.
“Let me fix that.” The ways he says that, and the expression he wears doesn’t suggest it’s going to be a genuine, heartfelt attempt. And it especially doesn’t help that he sighs right after he says it.
Still, the hand on the rail he moves to fold Lilith’s own, and he slowly turns his head to face her directly--and their noses bump, and only inches set their lips apart.
“You look very lovely today, miss Lilith. Thank you for coming on such a short notice. I like how you did your hair. Your attire is expectedly flawless. Not too big on the predictable lipstick, though. Red... don’t you ever get bored of red?”
