Ryan was surprised when Kahlana came down from the tree and pinned him. He didn't know what to say, as he was rather surprised by it. "Flashy thing?" he asked, confused. Then he remembered what she meant. "You mean my Camera?" he said, showing her the camera. "I was taking photos. I have a project I'm working on. Also, maybe you shouldn't be in the shot if you know you're going to hurt your eyes with the flash.." he sighed. Ryan then decided to show Kahlana the pictures he was taking. "See? I'm going to submit one of these pictures in for my work.."<br/><br/>When Kahlana mentioned something about a mate, he was confused again. "Mated? Amy is just a close friend of mine. Though we've been dating for a bit. She's not my girlfriend or anything if that's what you mean." he said, looking at Kahlana. "Well, not yet anyways.. Dating allows me to understand the person better and get to know them before they actually have a relationship.. It's what humans do.." he shrugged.
