She barely heard him. All she could do was cry harder, head throbbing, chest pounding. Why did she push herself like this? Why did she let it break her? Why had Kaito's words cut so deep? Why... why did it hurt so much.. to have someone actually care how she felt...?

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - With another sigh, Kaito let his head fall into his hands, biting back a whimper of stress. He had, in all his experience and knowledge, no idea whatsoever on how to console a female in a state such as this. Least to say, he felt... useless. "Listen, I'm sorry..." He began before his breath caught in his throat, nearly causing him to choke on his words. Damn, he was a mess when it came to things like this, wasn't he? Perhaps Kali's 'fascination' wasn't the only immature one in such things as this. "Please don't cry..."

Kali's eyes grew wide and her heart stopped a moment as she was called out. A good bit of tension released now by what crying she had done, she forced herself to stop flat, now. She wiped her tears and face as well as she could in a few seconds and re-emerged with a rather offended expression.
"I wasn't crying," she informed him rather sharply. The fact auras were visible through walls wasn't something that had really occurred to Kali. "Something got in my eye for a second, and I was just using the mirror.." That.. was really a pretty poor excuse.. Bah, she could do better than that.. She supposed with her mind in the state it was, though, it could have been worse.

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - Lifting his head from his hands, Kaito forced a smirk onto his face, wiping all other signs of stress and confusion away, "Of course you weren't." He teased, knowing all too well of what she was doing. But hell, he would let her cover it up, everyone had and needed their pride after all. "You going to be alright?" He managed after a bit of silence.

She attempted to leer in response, though it came out rather half-heartedly. "Why wouldn't I be?" She again feigned minor offense, though it was admittedly a little difficult. She told herself she was just a little too broken to think clearly at the moment, but a small part of her knew better. It was just really hard to be angry with someone who was only concerned.

Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - At this, Kaito couldn't help but to laugh lightly, running a hand through his hair. His forced smirk turning into a sincere smile he leaned back, placing a hand behind him on the bed to support his weight as he released a soft and subtle sigh, "I'll take that as a yes." He teased once again, having a pretty damn good idea of the amount of Kali's determination, there was no point in pressing the matter. Besides, that seemed like a pretty convincing yes to him.

That... smile.. That attitude.. As she thought more on them, the blue tones in her aura, still prominent, once again flared and drowned out several lesser shades. She crossed her arms and looked away. "That's... not an act..... is it?" she asked weakly. After a few moments, she clarified even quieter, "That lightness in things.."

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - Taken back by the question, Kaito found himself staring at her, blinking in confusion. Did she... but he... really? Sitting up before leaning forward, resting himself on his legs, he closed his eyes. "I have no reason to put on an act around anybody..." He stated plainly, but sincerity shone through in his tone.

She sighed, then, and moved to sit on the bed as well about two feet away. Her elbows rested on her thighs and her face in her hands in attempt to bury it. "Why is it..." She trailed off, hesitating. When had she... become so open? She supposed part of it was knowing how easily he'd see through many of her lies given that damn talent of his. But then... "I barely know you, yet you're more honest with me than he is..." It finished the question as much as stood alone.

Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - Hearing the question in her voice, he quieted, waiting patiently for her to continue. When she did, he found his eyes widening slightly before he looked down at the carpet once again, "may not know his reason for it, but I see no reason not to trust you to be honest with you - besides..." His voice trailed off as he pondered the meaning of the next words he was about to say. How would she react, would she accept it? Well.. they had to be something of the sort, or he wouldn't be here now, right? "Isn't that what friends do?"

It was as touching as now-depressing, and her heart sank. He aura again flared with high levels of blue, though less chaotic than before and more... purely hopeless. "And somehow..." she began very weakly. She drew inward a bit, and continued even softer. "I tell myself I love him..." Yes.. She'd even say it aloud. "Yet find myself thinking now.... how I'd love if he'd treat me the way Kaito does..." She sighed heavily, trying to keep from trembling. "What is wrong with me..?"

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - Looking at her, Kaito was all but unable to stop staring at her aura, seeing it all too clearly without even having to focus on it. The pure emotion that flowed through it... intrigued him. It was so... "Kali..." He considered, for a moment, laying a hand on her shoulder, but instead, twitched slightly with the thought that it would be better not to do so. "All things take time, How long have you known him now?"

At this, her full body twitched harshly before freezing. A rather harsh blush rushed forth, and she turned away a bit both to hide it and because she really didn't want to answer that. It was something she tried not to put too much emphasis on, considering.. Still, she mumbled honestly, "A few months..." It.. sort of annoyed her he hadn't really caught what she'd meant before, either, or perhaps was ignoring her. But at the same time, either was... a little sweet, really... ...Arceus damn it all.

At this, he couldn't help but to smile and laugh lightly. "Maybe try and spend more time getting to know how this man ticks a little more?" He questioned, trying to get a bit more information out of her. It wasn't that he didn't know what to say... but if he had a better idea... or rather, more conformation knowing if she was talking about who he thought she was, then he could help better. "Are there things he still hides from you?"

She glared back venomously in response. Of course there were- fucking hell, she didn't know the man's name, when it came right down to it. But she did know a lot more than most people, dammit. Rather than answer directly, she spat back, "I know how that sounds, Kaito. But now how does it sound if I say 'we've been living together for a few months'?" Not like she was really making an effort to keep it secret anyway.

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - With these words, the idea of who 'he' was clicked into place, allowing Kaito to smirk. "I see... I think I know what you mean now. Though, my question still applies, which now, I think I know the answer too anyway." With that, he turned to look out the window at the lights that shone brightly in the night sky, twinkling faintly. "regardless, time is an important factor, Kali. I know you want it, perhaps even crave it, but not everything comes so quickly" The last bit came out almost as a whisper.

Kali gave a small sound somewhere between a groan and a sigh; her head throbbed. After some moments, she let herself fall back on the bed as dead weight. "And I'd be fine with that," she moaned softly. "If it didn't seem like things were moving backwards..." It was... going fine for a while, but... She mewled another sigh at the thought of the recent turn.

★ KAITO ★ It's typical - create a world, a special place of my design.By my admission nothing grows. Just a longer list of throes. - - - - - - - - - - - - Stopping in his observation of the area through the window, Kaito blinked a couple times before looking back at Kali, "Backwards?" He questioned, only able to assume different situations. But for a split second, it really made him think and wonder. "Perhaps, you should back off from it for awhile, and try something new until you're confident in trying again?"

Kali gave him a sideways glance then, honestly curious as to just what he meant. After a few moments, she just gave a dry laugh. "Was that an offer?" she asked, her tone just as dry.

Could she mean? No... doubtful.
