Killian opened up his mouth to argue but snapped it shut glaring at the spot just over her head and left shoulder before he snapped his fingers. “Darn you caught me.” He ran his hand through his hair mumbling something derogatory about Harpers before he sighed letting his head drop limply his face looking to the floor as his gray hair fell in soft sheets to hide his features.
He let his shoulders slump as though still playing at his disappointment that he had been fond out though he was really searching his mind for anyway to get around this question again… but he had already tried that and she had found him out… he looked back up the smile re fixed on his face, “fine I will answer… Yes I did want to see you at first but not anymore, Like I said before with my family it was different, what difference would it make if I knew what you looked like? I might not even draw you right in my mind so what is the point?” he continued to smile shrugging and making light of something he still desperately wanted to do… but was too afraid to attempt.

Laughing at his playful disappointment, she didn’t catch the fact that he was searching for a way around the question. Hearing the first ‘yes’, Apri found her chest filling with a strangely excited feeling. It slowly deflated, however, as his answer changed from what she had initially thought. By the time he was done, she found herself below where she had started and biting her lower lip.
The way he had spoke of it so casually, Apri was surprised it actually hurt. At one point in time she would have given anything in the world to have just one man not care about the way she looked. But as she heard Killian speak of it… She was strangely put out that he was not even curious.
“That… makes sense.” she said hoping to sound thoughtful about the answer. She was thoughtful about it, but she hadn’t been prepared for it to hurt like it did. “Well… Your turn.” She said putting a smile back on her face.

Killian felt the sinking in his heard sink deeper as she agreed that it made since… he almost wished… what that she would want him to see her? That was stupid but… perhaps understand why he would want to? So she wouldn’t take it personally, like she did when he stuck his foot, no his whole leg, in his mouth by calling her beautiful. But she did understand why he wouldn’t want to, and some how he felt as though one of the few hopes, like gather day balloons had popped.
His face stayed straight though, well at least until he yawned. Blushing furiously Killian sat back up and stretched. “Oops… forgot how late it was… but one more question.” He held up his finger to her everything about him stating that he didn’t want this night to end though he new it must, “what.” He paused pretending to study her as though he was going to ask the most personal of life changing questions, “is your favorite animal?”

Hearing Killian’s yawn, Apricus found it contagious and couldn’t help but yawn shortly after him. Smiling at his words, she waited for the question, her curiosity growing as he searched her face. What kind of question was he going to ask now? Once she heard it, however, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh that is an easy question!” she said with a smile slightly brighter than the one that had been on her lips moments before. “The felines that live outside the Hall… They are so friendly and absolutely love to be adored… When I was younger and first came to the hall I’d spend hours with them…”
Standing finally, Apri stretched as she let out another soft yawn. Yes, it was defiantly past the time for bed.

“Felines haw…” he rubbed his chin arching one eyebrow then the other then back again looking very silly on purpose. He had heard the lighter tone in her voice and that was nearly enough to cheer him up again after his previous lie. Standing as well, Killian quickly fixed the top of his toga as he finally realized that it had slipped before heading, stretching to his door. “I will have to keep that in mind…” and with a small smile and a wave he opened his door and stepped through, “good night Apricus… Sweet sleep.” Stared out through the shadows of his dark room only to look into the darker blackness that was his life, smiling none the less, relaxed and at ease, before closing the door and blocking the light.
