Private Finished Yes Or No?

Ria was quite embarrassed at how jumpy she was, this situation had her quite tense mentally and even slight sudden touch from Ain had her jumping up. Ria thankfully didn't blush but she mentally kivked herself, get yourself together Ria, damnit!
To Ria's horror Ain bend down before she did and grabbed the taser, accidentally turning it on. Had Ria forgotten to put the safety on? In any case, Ria waited for a disappointed or angry reaction. But instead Ain looked at Ria askingly, it looked like he didn't know what the device was. Of vourse he wouldn't, he lived outside most progress. Ria felt a huge wave of relief, now she could explain without Ain getting too insulted.

Ria took the taser from Ain and put the safety on.
"I assume you don't know what this is. It's a taser, a weapon for paralyzing anyone who assaults you with electricity. I've taken on the habit of keeping it in my bag, my workplace is in a more dangerous part of town and I work late. I may be strong, but this island is full of much stronger individuals. I haven't had a reason to use it yet, but I can never know."
Ria put the taser back into the bag, in the pocket she kept it. Then she bent down again and started clearing the mess.

Though Ria tried, with vain efforts, to turn them away from the taser by just resuming the cleaning she could somehow guess he was slightly saddened by the fact that Ria was carrying the taser. Ria felt guilty, she had been aware of the taser's presence in her bag, and still she had not unpacked it. For the first time in a long time Ria felt angry at herself for being so distrustful, paranoid even.
In the future Ria wouldn't carry it with her, Ain had earned the trust at this point.

Ria heard Ain's chuckle as he put her snacks back in the bag, and she squinted at him slightly. She was pretty sure of what he was laughing at.
"Yes, I'm aware this is a lot of food for someone my size. I must consume a lot of calories to maintain muscle mass."
Ria had a slight defensive tone to hide that she, again for the first time in ages, was embarrassed for having such a mountain of snacks with her. She blushed slightly as she stuffed a bag of chips back in, maybe bit too aggressively.

Ria caught the jerky Ain tossed at her with ease and put it in the bag, it was the last one. She briefly looked at the bump in the inside pocket of the bag, her taser, and frowned. Ria sighed slightly and turned to Ain.
"I need to apologize for bringing a weapon here to meet you. I trust you enough to know you would not assault me, I will make no excuses. Well, even if you did assault me I'm confident I could fight you off."
Ria knew the last part was perhaps unnecessary but it was true. To Ria's ears it sounded like a challenge, and she smiled slightly.

As Ain narrowed his eyes at Ria with a small sly smile on his face she couldn't help but chuckle a bit. She didn't step back as Ain came to her side and looked down on her, with a playful look in his eyes. They both probably knew Ria was referring to their spar, and her victory, but Ria didn't want to spar again just yet either. Well, maybe she did, but somehow Ria felt like she would think of their closeness in the wrong way if they sparred now.

Ria spent few seconds looking back up at Ain, with a similar playful look. But soon enough she cleared her throat a bit and checked the time from her wrist watch. It was almost 3pm already. Time always seemed to go too slowly when Ria was here, with Ain.
"I need to leave soon, I have some business this evening I need to take care of."
Ria sent a slight smile at Ain and picked up her bag. The business she spoke of wasn't actually that important, but Ria was afraid that if she spent too much time with Ain she might do something she regretted.
"I will look into studying sign language. Perhaps next time I visit I can...teach you some more signs."

Ria didn't wait for Ain's reaction to her words and grabbed her bag, her ears quite red. She was feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and she felt like she needed a moment to be in her own thoughts again. Ria was starting to accept what was happening to her, it was what her sister wanted badly for herself. And what Ria thought would never happen to her. She still wasn't sure if she wanted it to happen. But it sadly looked like it was too late.

Ria headed to the door, taking a breath to calm her racing pulse. She reached for the door handle when Ain suddenly grabbed her arm, rather tightly. Ria nearly jumped and quickly turned her head to look at Ain in confusion. But she froze when she saw the look in his eyes, much more intense and...hot than she had seen Ain look before. It made Ria want to gasp. Ria opened her mouth but no words came out when Ain pulled her closer and touched his other arm to her waist, sliding it up to her side.
"Ain...?"
Ria waited for a fear reaction, for any warning bells in her mind to tell her that this was wrong. But all Ria felt was a very surprising need, that felt like a punch to the gut. Ria, or at least her body, wanted to reach up as Ain leaned in. For a second Ria thought of just giving in, and pulling Ain down into a kiss since he was taking his sweet time. Ria's other arm rose up and took a position on Ain's hip. But her other arm Ria gently pressed to Ain's chest just before their lips touched. She didn't push him away, her hand was just there, holding Ain back for now. Easy to push away.
"Ain...are you certain about this? We barely know each other. This might...this might be a mistake."
Ria said this, but at that point her eyes were almost as heated as Ain's as she looked him firmly in the eyes. Her eyes were hot steel, firm but fiery.

Ain hesitated at Ria's words, he pulled back slightly and seemed to take a moment to think. Ria was relieved, but at the same time she was terrified Ain would think of it as a mistake, let it go, let them go. That thought almost made Ria want to take it back, but she knew it had to be said. It was a fact Ria barely knew anything about Ain, they had just met, Ria could be anyone and Ain could be anyone and neither of them would know. There was a forbidden forest of mystery between them. And yet...
Why did Ria feel this way, want this so badly?
"What are you doing to me...?"
Ria whispered quietly as Ain lifted his left hand and brushed it first through her hair, which alone made a small shiver go down her spine. Him circling her ear almost made Ria gasp, but she managed to keep it to a small sharp inhale. And when Ain's hand finished its journey across her face it moved to remove Ria's hand from between them. Ria did not resist, and when Ain finally leaned in and pressed his lips against hers it felt like a weight fell off her shoulders and heart.

Ria had kissed others before, multiple times, and had deemed the act overrated. But kissing Ain, even if it was lightly like this, felt all different from any other experience. Ria exhaled slowly through her nose and let her eyes close. She felt Ain's hand in her lower back and let its weight bring her slightly closer to Ain. Ria lifted her other arm and brought it up to the side of Ain's head, and she slowly slid it slightly into his hair. She had wanted to touch his hair for a while now, to see if it felt as soft as it looked. Her other arm Ria slid onto Ain's back and tried to pull him slightly closer.
Ria never wanted this kiss to end, it felt too right, too warm and like she belonged there. So Ria would not end this kiss. Ain had started it, he should also finish it. Until then Ria enjoyed the soft feeling of Ain's lips on hers, the feeling of him in her arms, the feeling of herself finally accepting that she felt something towards this strange man, a cursed and mute man in the forbidden forest that was older than her by centuries. Those were all reasons not to develop emotions. But fate was a strange thing, and that thought made Ria smile slightly against Ain's lips. It was strange, but so was this island. But this felt right, so Ria let it happen.
