“But still, no matter why you did it, you still helped me,” She replied, her smile growing a little.
“But still, no matter why you did it, you still helped me,” She replied, her smile growing a little.
He smiled as well and pecked her nose. "And I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
She laughed lightly and felt her face flush slightly, “You’d help me, again?”
He nodded seriously. "If you were ever in trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to help you." He kissed her nose again. "Again." He kissed her cheek. "And again." He moved down to her jaw. "And again." Her neck. "And again."
Jynna smiled and kissed his forehead in return and thanks, “Let’s hope that you won’t have to help me with any situations like that ever.”
He gently cupped her face in his hands, smiling. "Let's hope not, but I still want you to know that I'll be there for you if it ever does."
“I’ll be there for you if you ever need me as well, though I might not be much help in dangerous situations,” She replied, putting one of her hands over his and letting the other stay messing with his hair.
He leaned in to brush his nose against hers, still smiling. "I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd much rather you stay as far away from danger as possible. But I won't force you to stay away."
She nodded with a smile and pressed a kiss to the bridge of his nose before resting her forehead against his, “I’m not the best with dealing with danger, as you can clearly tell, though I’m not afraid to stand by your side if you need me too.”
"That's more than I would expect from you," he murmured, his eyes brightening as he looked at her. His hands slid to her hips and he drew idle circles with his thumbs.
“A lot of people say that about me actually,” She said, a content smile appearing on her face as he drew idle circles. She looped her arms on his shoulders and just rested there against him.
"You're very surprising," he said simply, smiling up at her before he pecked her lips. "Kinda hot," he said with a mischievous smirk and wink.
She smiled and rolled her eyes, feeling her face flush. “How do you get me so flustered?” She asked somewhat jokingly, “That smirk gets me every time, and the wink is just extra.”
He smirked again at her blush. "I'm just a natural charmer," he said sweetly, then laughed slightly.
She laughed lightly and pecked his cheek, his smirk making her blush a brighter red, “Sure, we’ll go with the natural charmer option.”
He grinned at the sight of her deepening blush. "Do you have any thoughts, my dear, blushing Jynna?" he cooed. "Because it doesn't sound like you believe that I have natural charm. A bit rude, but I'll let it slide."
Again, she laughed, looking up at the ceiling to try to hide her blush, “I do think you’re a charmer, but not a natural one, I think you had to practice a lot to get this good at it.”
"Practice makes perfect," he said, neither denying nor confirming her statement. He had practiced a lot, though it was more trial and error than actual practice. He just said and did what he thought women liked, then foregone what had received negative responses.
“That it does,” She replied with a nod and another small smile. She let her gaze travel around the room as she went silent, hoping her blush was fading faster than she thought it was.
He kissed her cheek and let his hands brush up and down her waist. "But it's mostly just watching and learning," he continued, the corner of his lips curling up as he saw that her blush was fading away at a slow pace.
Jynna looked back at him and her smile grew. “Who’d you watch to get better at it?” She asked, one hand moving on top of his and the other running through his hair absentmindedly.
He sighed and closed his eyes, partially leaning into her touch. "Mmmmmm, I watched you and your reactions," he murmured. "If it was a good reaction, I kept doing it."
“Just me?” She asked, shifting around on her feet before moving to sit next to him on the bed. Her hand continued tangling in his hair and she made a mental note of his reaction.
"I mean, I watched all of the girls I've been with," he admitted sheepishly, leaning over to rest his head on her shoulder. "But I paid extra attention to you."
Jynna hummed, “What’s so special about me?” She asked, her legs starting to swing in old habit.
"You're my girlfriend," he said simply. "They…weren't. Not really." Rhydar absentmindedly placed a hand on her leg as he spoke, still keeping his head on her shoulder.
She felt a small shiver course through her body as he put his hand on her leg and she nodded, “Guess that makes sense.”
His eyes fell to the ground. "I'm sorry that I'm not exactly the best boyfriend material," he said quietly, his thumb tracing slow circles without him even thinking about it.
“What do you mean?” She asked, her head cocking to the side slightly in question as another shiver coursed through her body, “You’re awesome boyfriend material.”
"Because I'm not exactly the best at keeping relationships," he said, lifting his head to look at her. "There's a high chance of me coming back home with bruises and some cuts from an argument gone wrong because of my big mouth. So on and so forth."
