It's been a while since you've seen my sword....[Kiyr]

He sighed.

"I guess so. I think you came out on top in this exchange. Nice bit with the sword too- caught me by surprise."

Scarlet would stay right where she was, craning her neck to look up at her.

"I'm coming home with you. Me and David already talked about it."

And she would dive back down to her resting place!

"In a while, I think I will feel and look as though I lost."

She quirked a slight grin, daring to tease a little in turn.

"Thank you, though—I had to think of some way to get a leg up over you."

She nodded and shifted a little as the little metallic being scuttled back into her resting place, and would take her first step away.

"Take it easy, David, okay..?"

He would watch the two ladies as they left.

"You too, Kiyr."

He watched her go before laying flat on his back, looking back up at the sky. That...went better than expected!

Scarlet would pop out and look forward while speaking.

"Sheesh. It's about time, I have to say."

Kyrie was silent for a few moments after Scarlet spoke, but lifted a hand to rub the tip of her index finger against the top of the dragon's head.

"...it has been a long time coming, I agree. I guess...this means I should thank Alek?" She sounded a little perplexed. She sighed. "...I do not know where things between David and I will go...I suppose we need to reacquaint ourselves a little, first."

Scarlet snorted.

"You called out, he would come running. Pretending otherwise, for either of you, is simply a method to stall. One of you should go ahead and just kiss the other and get this train moving."

She grumbled, running her thin metal tongue over her lips.

Blunt- and proud.

Kyrie's stride slowed at Scarlet's notion. Probably accurate. And the fact that she was seriously considering giving in to it made her wonder when she had become so vulnerable to suggestion and influence. Her brow creased a little; it was probably because it had to do with David.

She sighed, moving back to her normal pace.

"...I think...we both would like that, and want that? Perhaps. I...am not going back, not today, for that. Sometimes, Scarlet, it is better to wait. This is the third time we have seen each other in as many weeks, and before that it was nothing for five years, aside from when I went to him...too much, too soon, despite our feelings, would not be a good thing. You understand..?"
