<span style="font-style: italic"> "Well we are both running on little to no sleep but if you want the company you are welcome to come back to my quarters. We can have some tea, coffee or whatever..." nervousness written all over her body and posture as she stood there with her hands in her pockets and rocking back and forth on the heels of her boots.</span><br/><br/>Dren got dressed and while his mind was racing with his embarrassment, he suddenly was hit with a realization of how she was dealing with this. They stood in awkward silence for a moment, then he decided to stop lying to himself about how he felt. He advanced on her in his primal state because of an underlying feeling that was already there, acted upon because the reason that suppressed it wasn't there. It was true they only knew each other for a few days, but there was definitely something there. The difference in their species didn't even enter his mind...<br/><br/>Dren stepped forward and took her hand, he at least felt a little less awkward and he hoped he was expressing how he felt in the right way, "Angela, this wasn't a mistake. I'm not sure of the customs of your people when it comes to courting, but I'm sure what happened wasn't the proper way to start it, yet I still do not regret it. If you would give me the chance, I would like to try it the way we're supposed to. Whatever you're comfortable with." he raised his head, he felt a rush flow through him for a moment then he smiled, pulling her close and putting his arms around her, holding her close. He sighed in contentment, the stress seeming to just fall away, then he pulled back slightly so he could see her face, "Unless you aren't interested. Am I out of line here?"
