13th Flight: [Action]

[Slapped to the door of the clothing store is a note. It's not a very remarkable note, even if the text is a bit on the large side. But it's a note on a door, so most people will probably stop to read it.

This is what they will see.]

Give the next person you see a big hug and kiss!

[And hiding in a nearby tree, watching the results of her little experiment, is one Arche Klaine.]

I simply don't feel comfortable leaving it at that. Especially if you thought it was only "too short to judge".

So you feel a need to hear judgment on the issue.

Your lack of an opinion on the matter offends me.

I see. I apologize, then.

Hm. Thank you for the apology, at least.

Of course. You could have told me you felt uncomfortable with dropping the subject.

I could have.

[A pause then, and a short laugh.] I suppose that makes me just as ridiculous as you.

It's not exactly something that happens everyday. So it's understandable.

Of course.

... I hope you'll forgive me for still being curious about that opinion.

I have to stick by my opinion -- it was too short to say much. It would have had to be longer for me to say more.

Perhaps you'll have to find a better time to judge on your own terms.

Hah. Is that an invitation?

Oh. Well. I suppose it is.

Perhaps I will take you up on it, then.

All right. That sounds fine.

Right now.

... That's fine as well. Since we're still on the subject, anyway. [She sets her uneaten sandwich half back on the plate.]

[Albert sets his unfinished sandwich down as well, turning to face Raine completely. He walks closer again, using the table to lean against slightly as he looks down at her.]

[No, there's nothing awkward about this at all. A mutual agreement between adults to settle something.

... Raine tilts her head up to look at Albert, giving a brief nod as he draws closer again. It was easier not to think about it the first time around, because she had no warning then.

Regardless her heart was already beating faster. How ridiculous was that?]

[How to best accomplish this? Albert adjusts his palm on the tabletop, his free hand moving to Raine's chin. His fingers brush gently over her skin; a luxury of sorts he was denied when he had to follow that order.

He smirks to himself as he tips Raine's chin up, his eyes meeting hers briefly. And then his hair provides him a slight shroud as his lips once again meet hers.]

[Raine's eyes slide up to meet his as Albert tilts her head up, then close once the kiss is initiated. Even though this time she knew it was coming, it didn't make it any less ...

Well. If it was going to be longer, she would have to do her part too.]

[His hands remain where he first placed them, not straying as he continues the kiss. So business-like, a part of him muses. But Raine's lips are soft and accepting, and it's a much nicer actually having control of this moment.

Albert disengages eventually, hand falling away from her face. He remains silent, contemplative.]

[Raine's eyes remain closed for a moment longer before slowly opening, and blinking, and looking back up at him.

She's silent as well, mostly because she needs to catch her breath.]

[Albert laughs lowly, straightening; he's made even more aware of their height difference when he's leaning over to kiss Raine.] Nice.

[She chuckles softly and smiles slowly after catching her breath.] ... Well. I suppose that is a step up from "too short to tell", in any case.
