"Yes. They're beautiful thoughts," Westan replied softly, peeking through his fingers to gauge Finn's reaction.

His blush deepened even more, and the butterflies in his stomach were going crazy. "Beautiful…" Was all Finn managed to say. He couldn't keep his eyes off of Westan's.

"Y-Yes," he said. It came out more as a question, and he hoped Finn didn't think he was an idiot.

"Yes." Finn echoed as he scooted closer, his cheeks and ears now a deep red color. "Beautiful."

Westan lowered his eyes then looked up again through his long lashes. He mumbled something incoherently and shook his head, making his hair fan out slightly.

(meanwhile Aza is just watching them)
"What was that?" Finn asked softly, using his hand to brush a loose strand of hair out of Westan's face.

Westan caught his breath sharply and said jaggedly, "'I can't believe this.' That's what I said."

(Finstan?)

(Yes absolutely)

Finn tilted his head slightly, his blush disappearing ever-so slightly. "Can't believe what?"

Westan smiled softly. "You. You're absolutely amazing."

Finn couldn't keep himself from smiling. "I'm not nearly as amazing as you." The butterflies in his stomach were moving so fast that they were about to explode with excitement.

Westan blushed brighter. "Really? You think that?" he said, mildly afraid of his answer.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" Finn assured him, his smile softening.

Westan waved his hands, struggling to form an answer. "I don't know? I- think- I'm just…I don't know," he said defeatedly.

He reached out and cupped Westan's face with his hands. "Hey," Finn began, his voice quiet. "You're incredible. You're kind, caring, and downright adorable. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise."

"Adorable?" Westan squeaked. His insides flipped and his emotions swirled. He wasn't exactly sure what to do, so he sat, enjoying Finn's touch.

Finn nodded, chuckling a little. "Yep. Adorable." He didn't move his hands away from Westan's face.

Westan's gaze drifted to Finn's lips, startling him slightly. "A-are you sure?"

"Any one find offices yet?" Wila asked, glancing back at the tied up Naomi and grinning. She walked over and tilted her head up "Not so much fun when the tables are turned huh?" She walked back to the group and sighed

"I'll go check out the front of the building," he offered, "if one of you stays here with her," he requested, jerking his head in disgust towards the slowly waking Naomi.

Beaux came running back with her hair flowing behind her. Panting she rested her hands on her knees. "Nothing." Sweat dripped down her face. Beaux had been all over the place and found nothing. "Just how big is this place?"

"apparently bigger than we thought." Wila muttered, lost in thought. She had decided to stay with Naomi while the other two explored. She couldn't…wouldn't trust herself to stay safe around the place, or at least not get lost

"Hm, I'm going to go look again." Turning around she ran out the door once again. There had to be something she was missing? Maybe it wasn't just a normal door, maybe it was hidden or maybe a cellar? "Damn, where is it?"

Westan's gaze drifted to Finn's lips, startling him slightly. "A-are you sure?"

(oh shoot sorry I was busy yesterday)
"Absolutely." Finn replied simply, his voice gentle and quiet.

After making sure Wila had Naomi handled, he ran off in the opposite direction Beaux had gone, counting on finding some sort of study.
Meanwhile, Naomi was waking up.
