He brought his hand up to her cheek softly.<br/><br/>"Naia, if you don't like me, and are just trying to stop me from doing something stupid, that's fine. I'll walk away. I don't want to be some pest. But please don't tell me who I do and don't want to get involved with."<br/><br/>Eric quirked a smile at her.<br/><br/>"Because I know a bit more about that then you.

She relaxed a little, closing her eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath.<br/><br/>"If you're going to be involved with me.. there are going to be ground rules.. can you live with that?"<br/><br/>Naia hoped he could. She'd been lonely for a while, between school and work, she'd never had time to invest in finding herself a boyfriend, or anything of the sort, and right now.. it really felt like she could use the escape from her everyday life, and make something of it. She could find reasons to get away from this place a lot easier, if she had someone else to focus on.
