"Oh. Well then. This is progressing quickly," Emily replied with a smile. One way or another, those two were bound to end up together. It was only a matter of time. Emily knew how shy and indecisive Rylie was by nature, so this really was the perfect catalyst.<br/><br/>Rylie stared at him for a moment, her expression falling slightly as he admitted it had been a mistake. His next words, however, had her eyes snapping back to his. Before she could even form an answer in her mind, his lips had pressed against hers. Rylie's eyes widened for a moment before slipping shut as she responded to the kiss, shifting her body slightly closer to his.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Well. This is a first. It's... Nice.</span><br/><br/>Emily barely contained her squeal of utter joy and excitement, "Rylie's first kiss! Such a momentous event and I get to witness it!" Forgetting herself for a moment, she threw her arms around Raphael, laughing.<br/><br/>Reluctantly, Rylie pulled herself away from Kratos, the intensity of her eyes reminiscent of fire as she gazed at him, "I guess there are just some things I'll never understand. I'm not sure if I'm ready for..." Her cheeks reddened as she searched for the right word, "Uh. That. Yet. You know... It's still early, and I have a lot to learn and woulditbeweirdifIaskedyoutokissmeagain?" She finished in a rush, staring at the ground.<br/><br/>"My master is the cutest thing in the world," Emily gushed, arms still around Raphael's neck.
