There it was again. That voice he was so good at using. What really concerned her was that the more he used it, the more she actually considered it. If he was trying to wear down her discipline, he was doing a rather commendable job of it. But even if she did let it fall, she knew very well she wasn't the type to easily admit it, either to herself or to anyone else.
Heat flooded her the moment he leaned in and she found her hands tightly weaving together, perhaps for a sense of composition or just to keep herself from accidentally touching him, giving him the wrong impression, or whatever else. Her pulse quickened and just as she had so many times before, Nepione convinced herself that he was only teasing. The little steady drumming of her heart remained even as he withdrew and she cleared her throat, trying to ignore the colour that kissed her features.]
R-right. Of course. I'll bring any necessities that I can think of. Better safe than sorry, though I'd like to think this will be a largely unexciting misadventure. I'll meet you outside of your tent and we can go when you're ready.
