The moment of peace between them sparked a natural tenderness that filled Juniper with a sense of calm. She'd only met Kuram but he was funny, with all the right words and all the enchanting glances. Talking to him was easy, natural, like cutting across a field with the wind whipping at her face and the sturdy earth beneath her feet. It was almost like slipping into place somewhere she belonged, and she relished the closeness, closing her own eyes when he rested his head against her cheek.<br/><br/>However, like all good things, it came to an end and they were transported to the sickbay in HQ.<br/><br/>Kuram was given more substantial treatment, and after having herself checked for any possible broken bones, Juniper was back on her feet and following Klause down the hallway toward Kuram's room. "He'd be good for the team, Klause. I heard it myself, the Break Beasts outnumber us five to one. A few of our Scythes are down with injuries, and Kuram, you saw him, he can really, really fight. He's good at it, and might not be a Scythe, but I think he's a good egg. You always say I'm a good judge of character."<br/><br/>And perhaps she was right, or perhaps she was merely a foolish girl blinded by the potential romance of their first date.<br/><br/>They reached Kuram's room then, but Klause chose not to linger. Juniper felt the anger radiating off of him, the subtle annoyance in the tautness of his jaw and the crinkle of his eyes. He was always gruff, but there was always that layer of fun and kindheartedness underneath. He didn't have any of that in his current gaze.<br/><br/>"Sorry, he's a little pissy. I put in a good word for you through, and I'll get you some cake once you're out too, promise. It can be," she smiled cheekily as she sat by his side. "Well, let's call it date number two. Hopefully, monsters won't interrupt this time round." The smile faded a little as she eyed the bandages on him. "I hope you weren't hurt too badly and... thank you, thank you for saving me back there."
