<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Aki</span></strong><br/><br/>Aki felt less nervous, which she was happy about. She did need to interact more, and something about Roman made her a little less bashful. She grinned. "I...I hope I don't butcher your language.." she smiled and again fidgeted with her glasses, brushing some of her hair behind her ear. She saw the painting he was referring to, two people reaching across a chasm and at the bottom was a pit of flames. Between the two was a wall of words, in kanji, expressing the various things people use to put up barriers. She blushed a little and cleared her throat. "It's about how people choose to put up walls between themselves...y..yet they continue to reach for the other through that very same wall."<br/><br/>Her eyes widened as he grinned and said she was bribing him. Then she laughed again until he asked her for a peck on the cheek. That sweet flush rose to her cheeks again as she saw his finger point to the spot he wanted. Her heart thumped in her chest a little bit. She bit her lip, and leaned up, pressing her soft lips against his cheek. He could feel from how soft they were that she took good care of herself as they were like pillows to his face. She pulled back a little, looking down shyly.<br/><br/>"S...Shall we go...?" she said, as she turned and heard him join her.
