Wakey, Wakey, Selphie!~

*So Selphie might look a little sleepy, and her hair's a little more tousled than usual. But at least she's sitting up in bed, even if she is still in her pyjamas. Yes, she's been dead asleep for over a week now, but she always still finds herself exhausted at the end of it. It's happened a couple of times now, and she's not really surprised*

Whoa... A new year and I've slept for most of it already! Boo!

Anything exciting happen while I was out?

There is still much time left in the year, and we were able to welcome the first hours of the day at the festival with a kiss. [ a pause... ]

*Selphie flushes pink immediately at the mention of the kiss. She stares into the bottom of her cup for a moment before putting it down on the table in front of them*

...mmhmm...

*She hadn't forgotten at all - and it was still so nice to think about, that she smiles*

[ kenshin pauses for a moment. ]

It was indeed a pleasant means to start the new year. I would start it no other way.

*She turns to him then, perhaps a little too quickly, and her eyes are wide and hopeful as she looks at him*

Me neither.

*But then her expression darkens a little*

Are you okay?

[ he smiles softly. ]

It is part of a curse where one seems to say thoughts without hesitation, though I will not deny there is some truth to it so far.

SOME truth? But only some...?

*She's not really sure how to take that, so she just pours more tea*

Guess I won't know until the curse is over..

[ he pauses. That did sound rather cold, but Kenshin did come across as cold quite often... Yet somehow, in this particular situation, it didn't feel right. He doesn't like to see Selphie upset... ]

Indeed. I do care for you deeply and I would not wish for any harm to be brought to you in any manner. There is much truth to that.

Well... Is it a curse that makes you lie? Or exaggerate everything...? Or what?

*because maybe he didn't enjoy their small kiss all that much, or maybe he didn't really mean deeply and somehow, it really mattered that she knew*

I am uncertain of the exact details. I shall be honest with you, as you are my dearest friend. So far, the curse has forced me to speak from the deepest parts of my mind and heart.

[ He pauses. While he can flirt, he doesn't really get close to people... ] I love and adore you and wish nothing bad will harm you in any way. [ well there's always a curse to help with that. ]

[ he draws her close and into his arms. No sense in denying it, especially to someone he holds so dear. ] That is the truth.

*Selphie just gasps at first, and she's really genuinely struck dumb. As he holds her close she just hopes so much that he really means it. But he hadn't said it and run away. Instead she was closer, and she managed a soft whisper*

I love you too...

I am most pleased to hear that.

[ He hasn't moved away or run off. He simply holds her in his arms. ]

*She gives a happy, happy laugh and cuddles herself even closer*

You'll be in big trouble if this is just the curse, you know!

I would never do something so dishonorable to you.

You know what you should do...?

*She blinked up at him shyly, blushing*

Maybe... you should kiss me again...

If you wish so. [ not like he has any objections anyway. He takes her chin gingerly in his hand and kisses her gently on the cheek. ]

*All at once, Selphie beams, giggles, pounces, and presses a little kiss at his lips*

[ he's pretty surprised by the action. Kissing is still a foreign thing, after all. He knows Selphie means well, but he still looks shocked. ]

*Oops. Selphie wasn't sure what she was expecting, but it wasn't shock. She's quick to pull away and scramble to her feet. She moves to grab her tea cup, but bumps herself into the table. Soon as she can, she's taking that cup into the kitchen, because it seems like an urgently important thing to do*

[ he sits for a moment. What an odd sensation. What an odd reaction. He must've offended her somehow. Damn cultural miscommunications. ]

I do believe you have taken me by surprise.

[ which is a rather odd statement, as the war god rarely is surprised and completely dumbfounded. What would one do after such an interaction? ]

A surprise which I would not mind experiencing once again.

*Selphie has her back turned, close as she was to escaping from the room before he spoke. She's hunching her shoulders, staring at the cup in her hands*

Well then - you can. And you don't have to ask. Just... you can. If you want to.

[ man he screwed this up, didn't he? ]

Have I offended you?

*Shake head, shake head.

Okay, so he kind of had. That wasn't how you were supposed to react to a kiss from someone you had just confessed love to.

But maybe it was her fault. Maybe she'd just done the wrong thing, or maybe he hadn't really meant what he said after all - it was the curse!

So she spins round, eyes closed tight but a smile on her face*

I'm fine!

If you are certain.

[ he's not really buying that... He looks kinda concerned. ]

I can make some more tea, if you'd like. Or perhaps some fresh mochi?

*Her face falls for just a moment, but then he mentions mochi and she brightens a little*

Will you make me some mochi?

I have some fresh already made, if you would like it. It is strawberry mochi with a whole strawberry inside.
