She flinches when he reaches out to touch her, but only slightly. Wasn’t so long ago that she would have pulled away, put distance between them despite her level of trust for him, but now she stands her ground, willing that impulse to pull back and flee to bury itself deep.
She doesn’t always have to run, especially not with him. He’s family. She’s felt that way for a long while, now.
Her smile pulls to one side. She’s not the type to let being called out like this embarrass her, and she shakes her head in response.
“You’re a weird one,” she says, but her voice is unusually warm with affection. “Right. Should’ve known better than to ask that one.”
He seemed to think the sun shone out her ass, honestly, something she’s not sure she’ll ever be used to.
His grin grows all the more and he looks incredibly satisfied with her response. He loves getting under her skin, making her think, giving her reasons to take pause and hesitance. He simply loves keeping her on her toes and showing her a world she's never allowed herself to experience before. Or one she's never had the opportunity to experience.
Removing his hand, he motions to her. "Now, let's go. We've got packing to do and a dinner to live through. The sea waits for no one, Kainé. Let's leave the rest of this behind and make something new for ourselves."
