Love bird

She looked so innocent, but he knew better than that. Still, he struggled with how endearing she was. Little innocent Hikaru with little knowledge of the more intimate side of the world was smitten. If his brain worked properly around Keetie it would be full of chagrin at his weakness but she was so lovely in that moment he didn’t care. Still, he could see Mort’s worried features in his mind’s eye even as he gazed at the beautiful woman.

She was friendly and eloquent and everything he wasn’t. He could barely speak in her presence but he was able to listen to and appreciate her words. She was polite enough not to step too close and Hika could assume she had just appeared to catch up. Still, as she flirted with him Kaiyo had trouble controlling his tongue. Any kisses?! Silver eyes bulged lightly as he tried not to reveal just how nervous she made him. That’s what was so hard, he felt bad for how she made him feel and he refused to admit in the open why.

”It’s good to see you too.” he stuttered as he kept his polite demeanor. ”I really like living in the Armada,” the way she said it hinted this was not the path for her. ”Um, no, you’re still the only one.” He tried not to think about that fact too much, or who’s lips he thought of first.
