[Euphie had to leave the apartment. After all, it's a nice day, and there are so many people in The City she's never kissed. Clearly, this needs to be resolved. She's just glad she isn't cursed like those other people trying strange foods.

She hums a cheerful tune as she leaves her apartment to walk out among the shops!]

(OOC: B-be gentle? Anyone is welcome.)

[There is only a trace of surprise that passes over her face, because there is still mostly worry displayed there instead. She's just quiet for a moment as she rubs his arm, just wanting to make him feel better in some way. Normally, that might feel more awkward than it does today.]

Do you still want to be with Ino?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

N-no!

[ The answer is instant. No offense to Inos out there. ]

Miss Ino is- a fine young lady... but... No. I'm not interested in her.

[ blush. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[She has a definite sense of relief at his immediate answer.]

Then it must have been the curse that made you do it in the first place. [She hopes he finds that reassuring.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ Smiles at Euphemia, genuinely grateful... but. ]

I know Yuri knows that... but- regardless, the end result is this. I wish there was something I could do to make it better.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm not sure what something like that would be. You know him best. If there is something you'll think of it. [She gives him a very gentle smile back and then reaches up to very softly brush some stray hairs back behind his ear.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Euphie-

[ and then he catches himself, blushing. I-it must be the proximity. ]

I mean, Lady Euphemia.

[deadly_legacy]

It's really okay if you call me Euphie, Flynn. We're friends. I'd like to think we're good friends.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

But-

[ He closes his eyes and thinks- ]

It's not... proper.

[ ...lame argument. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Because you're my honorary knight? [Leans against him just a little.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ At the mention of honorary knight he kind of straightens up a bit- he remembers that - but... then he relaxes and smiles. ]

That's right. As honorary knight of Lady Euphemia, I must make sure to respect and honor my lady...

[ and then he eases up a bit with a smile ]

I'm honored that you think of me as a good friend.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm honored that you're honored. [Her tone is a little teasing, but her words are sincere.]

[That hand might be touching his hair again. And maybe it isn't so quick about moving away this time.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ Well, Flynn... recognizes that teasing tone so he tries to follow back. ]

I'm honored that you're honored that I'm honored?

[ He's curious about why Euphie is touching his hair too but... ]

Lady Euphe...mia?

[deadly_legacy]

You almost had it. [Her finger tip brushes lightly over the top of his ear.] Yes, Flynn?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I-is there something on my... ear?

[ conscious and...... curious at the same time. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Just my finger. [Smiles and threads her fingers into his hair instead, more boldly than before.] Soft.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Ah-

[ Kind of confused. ]

It's not as soft as your hair...?

[deadly_legacy]

How would you know?

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ It's a trick question. It's a trick question-

Frowning, Flynn tries to think of the best answer that probably won't... you know... be bad... logic! It must work! ]

It smells nice.

[ ... logic is digging him a deep hole. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[She doesn't dispute the logical fallacy of nice smelling hair equaling soft hair.] You're so sweet, Flynn.

[She smiles at him fondly.] Did I ever thank you for rescuing me when I first arrived? [Without really giving him an opportunity to answer, she leans in and brushes her lips softly against his.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I- [ suppose you have? ... Flynn doesn't get to finish that because asdkasdjasdkjlasdjkasdl

Euphemia kisses him and.

He freezes for a moment. ]

A-ah?

[ This isn't like his kiss with Natalia or Ino back then, however... this was different. Somehow.

And all he could really do was freeze and stare because the knight in his head was successful in keeping him from pushing the princess away or coming up with some other extreme reaction. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[She pulls back a little] It's all right if you want to kiss me back.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I would- [ He stops himself and gently holds Euphie by her shoulders- ]

Lady Euphemia... are you... this must be a curse?

[ And then he clears his throat. ]

I mean no offense, of course.

[deadly_legacy]

[She just smiles]

What makes you think it's a curse? [She rests a hand on his chest.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

[ really blushes-

But maybe he's taking this too seriously? Or... that's it, maybe he's just taking it too seriously! ]

The kiss...

[ But it's hard to not take it seriously. If Estellise kissed him, for example, he'd still find reason to... think that maybe external factors were involved? ]

[deadly_legacy]

Don't people kiss in your world without curses?
