Franklin blushed again. Why had he kissed her, he had just met her, and a kiss was something that in his tribe was a sign of affection, so why? "Indeed, that was a kiss, and I shouldn't have, I was too forward." He looked up when she started stumbling over her words. What that the first time she had been kissed? He had to admit, it felt good to have their lips pressed together, but still, she was a diffrent creature than he was. "No, all I did was buy us some time, you got us away from that crazy creature."<br/><br/>As she turned, he put his hand under her chin, turning her face back to his. He stared into her eyes for what seemed like forever. "We should rest a little longer here, the spirits of earth and wind will make sure we're safe and comfortable." Before she could reply, he found himself leaning in again, locking his lips against hers, embracing in a kiss much deeper than the first.
