Lucinda nodded and followed along with him.  

[Ean_arico]

Renatus walked Lucinda to her room. "Here we are." he said, smiling yet quietly.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Thank you, Renatus," Lucinda replied, smiling at him.  

[Ean_arico]

"Yeah..." Renatus said. He was blushing heavily, and averted Lucinda's eyes, but had a small smile on his face.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Even after all this, you're still so shy," Lucinda said, laughing a little.  

[Ean_arico]

Renatus smiled. "I suppose I can't help it." he said laughing quietly. "I wonder if I'll ever be cured." he said meeting her gaze.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Maybe I can help you," Lucinda said, reaching a hand up to gently touch his cheek.  

[Ean_arico]

Renatus blushed a little more, then said, "What do you mean?"  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Maybe if you get more comfortable around one person, you can be more comfortable round people in general," Lucinda replied with a shrug.  

[Ean_arico]

"I suppose." Renatus replied. Renatus' inner flame heated once more, and he felt it radiate from within. He looked down at his chest.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Lucinda looked down as well when she felt the heat. "Is that a good thing?" she asked.  

[Ean_arico]

"It was earlier." Renatus replied. "But other than that, it's never happened before." His blush grew deeper and deeper as the heat emanated from him. "It feels good though."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I think I like it too," Lucinda said, blushing a bit as well.  

[Ean_arico]

Renatus found himself working closer to Lucinda, but stopped himself. Though he was signifigantly closer to her, their chests were almost touching.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Lucinda looked up at him, her gaze gently. She wondered if he was going to close the distance or just go.
