"Oh no! Be carefu--"

Ahe is too late, however, and Greyson bursts into laughter so powerful he spills his wine. It stains his shirt, dripping down his chest. But he laughs, and so she does in return.

"I'm sorry."

She blushes, smiling awkwardly before starting to stand. He needed a napkin or towel to blot it out, or to take it right into the wash.

"Well thats good! I look forward to more tours!"

Gwen's eyes widen in surprise as he shifts closer. It's then that she realizes how warm he is, and how warm her face has become.

To sit beside him was strangely overwhelming. Sitting on the bus with strangers, brushing elbows walking through busy streets, all of that had felt daunting after a life in a big empty estate.

But now, with his breathy laugh and easy, confident smile, she was starting to realize what exactly, she'd been missing.

The moment is stumbled over, however, by Gwen's awkwardness. There is a look in his eye and a smirk pressed to the lip of his glass that suggests she's said something with a double meaning. Flustered, she fights for an explanation, a correction, anything at all.

"I mean-- yes! ... No? Maybe? That isn't-- I didn't mean it like--"

What did she mean? What hadn't she meant? Why was she fumbling so much?

Her gaze follows, and she laughs softly. With a gentle shake of her head, she aims to explain.[break][break]

"No, no.. my partner is Fleur- she's a Lopunny. I've had her ever since I was a little kid. She's sort of my bodyguard. She's just a bit.. intense, sometimes, so I don't often let her out when she's not needed. Loves her job too much sometimes, I guess."[break][break]

It's hard to explain for some reason that she's just a little bit scary to look at.[break][break]

"There's no rush to travel, you know. No obligation, either. That just means you must be an expert on all things Hoenn. Bonus for me."

"Yes! My line of work pays well, even for small gigs and such. It's rewarding work, truly."[break][break]

She smiles, and the discomfort fades. The questions don't really pry into why she left, which gave her no reason to lie. The truth sat heavily on her tongue and in her heart. That she'd left because lilith eirwin had felt that staying with her family was too dangerous. Something had scared her enough to run away from home as a child, never to return home.[break][break]

"Have you traveled anywhere, Greyson?"

She lowers the glass, lingering on the bitterness of her sip. Her eyes dart up to meet his and for a brief moment there is indecision and unease. It disappears as quickly as it came, fleeting.[break][break]

"Not at the moment, no. I worked for a wealthy family in Kalos for a while, helping manage their estate. They didn't live there, it was more of a summer home, I feel. I decided to travel instead."[break][break]

It isn't entirely a lie, but it's not entirely the truth. She acts as if it had been a decision made easily, or something she'd planned. [break][break]

That was an exaggeration of the truth.

"Yeah, pretty good at it too."[break][break]

There's a sad sort of smile she cants her head to. It's been a long time now since she last saw him.[break][break]

"Any path is impressive, especially if it's something you enjoy."[break][break]

She lifts the glass to below her nose, inhaling thoughtfully. Not long after, she tastes a sip.

Gwen doesn't know what to do with her hands, let alone her knees. She sits stiffly on the couch, not because she wasn't enjoying herself, but because typically she was standing, acting like a shadow looming over the people she worked for.[break][break]

She wasn't on duty, so she felt out of place.[break][break]

It feels natural to reach for the glass, even if she just holds it in both hands. His eyes look her up and down and she blushes, tilting her chin up and away before returning to him.[break][break]

"Family business. Followed in my father's footsteps to make him proud, the whole nine yards."

She laughs, a breathless, awkward exhale that only helps to widen her smile. Gwen removes her gardening gloves, freeing her one hand to tuck hair behind her ear. With an incline of her head, she urges him to follow up with his statement.[break][break]

"Then... shall we?"

Gwen smiles, expression a little bit playful. His forwardness followed by his quick correction and explanation makes her blush. The warmth reaches her ears, but she masks it with her smile.

Gwen finds her knee bounces unawares, a nervous tick given the sudden stifling weight in the room.[break][break]

She's never done this before. Never found herself caught off-guard by a nice smile, never followed someone so brazenly into the unknown. She's always been careful, always been succinct in her observations.[break][break]
And yet when he nearly trips rising to his feet to escape to the kitchen again, she can't help but follow his path and smile.[break][break]

That smile widens, still shy, as he pours her a glass. She watches the liquid splash into its new container, but her eyes are quickly drawn back in by his question.[break][break]

"I.. yeah, I do, sort of. I do a lot of work as a butler or body-guard. I suppose that it isn't that glamorous, but I like what I do."

They work until sweat sets upon their skin and dampens their collars. But hard work pays off, as eventually, the shrine is thoroughly cleared of debris and overgrown weeds. It looks rough and in desperate need of a facelift, but their successful venture in weeding and gardening has prompted a blank canvas.[break][break]
All they had to do was fill in the cracks and redecorate.[break][break]

Gwen grins, exhausted but pleased. With the back of her hand, she wipes sweat from her brow. It messes up her bangs, curling a strand into a goofy loop that is out of place and awkward and leaves a smear of dirt on her forehead. She exhales, nodding softly.[break][break]

She casts a quick glance over the area, eyes settling on the piles of sleeping Pokemon. They finally land on Greyson, her expression thoughtful and warm, curious and shy. [break][break]

"Well... it appears we've done as much as we can for today. I- did we want to meet up again tomorrow to pick up supplies? Wood and.. such?"

She must be doing something wrong. [break][break]

She must be, because Greyson sucks in his breath as if insulted. He pats the top of his head, petting his hair flat. It's his nervous tick, she realised, his sign that he was uncomfortable. The only thing out of place, out of routine, was her. She was the anomaly.[break][break]

So she must be doing something wrong.[break][break]

The door to his bedroom closes with a soft click that felt more like an ultimatum, and Greyson turns to lead them both back into the living room. Gwen remains quiet, unsure what to say or do to alleviate the tension she feels building. He sits down, and just as she moves to sit, too, he springs back up to his feet.[break][break]

"Oh, okay!"[break][break]

Her voice portrays her own anxiety, but she forces a smile. In her lap, her hands fold over each other and nervously fidget, unsure what to do.

Gwen blinks, momentarily stunned. Why had she said Amor? That wasn't what she'd meant. For a long moment the woman is silent, thinking and overthinking until she can come up with a better response.[break][break]

"Uhh.. sure. Okay."[break][break]

Still reeling from his kiss to the top of her hand and his charming grin, Gwen stands there watching him for a moment before pulling herself together enough to lend a hand. She crouches nearby, brushing away debris from the base in order to uncover the plaque.[break][break]

"I think flowers would be lovely. This shrine will look beautiful again soon, I'm sure."[break][break]

Honestly it still did, even in its battered and abused state. She smiles up at it and the stoic, toothy expressions of the legendary dogs of old.
