Kassie<br/><br/>When he laughed, she frowned and almost got up. It was her own fault for being so open and rambling. She probably scared him away. However, he soon took her hand and explained his laughter.<br/><br/>"Yeah...I guess my little speech was a bit odd. Sorry."<br/><br/>She chuckled softly, and waited for the expected refusal. It didn't come, though, and she widened her eyes as he seemed willing to consider it. Genuinely excited, she smiled.<br/><br/>"Really? Thank so much. No pressure, of course, but at least you're thinking about it."<br/><br/>She saw Lily's almost shy smile and smiled back. Hopefully she hadn't offended her. Taking Ryan's hand, she led him over to the table.<br/><br/>"Kyle, this is Ryan. Ryan, this is Kyle, Liz and Andre. Ryan might be interested in our little business venture."<br/><br/>Kyle looked up and was surprised that Kassie had found someone so quickly. Offering an awkward smile, he spoke.<br/><br/>"Oh! Umm...that's great. Here's my e-mail and number. Why don't you send me your contact info and I'll get together some kind of deal for you to look over and maybe sign and we can talk about the money and possibilities."<br/><br/>He scribbled down his info on a napkin and handed it to Ryan. Kassie smiled and then looked at the two.<br/><br/>"Awesome."<br/><br/>She turned to Ryan and spoke quietly as the others spoke.<br/><br/>"You can stay here and talk to them if you'd like, or I can explain more in a less public setting."<br/><br/>She was actually serious. Even if the implication hadn't been there, she figured talking about it with a girl without other guys around might be more comfortable for Ryan at first.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Since Richardson said we could NPC Kyle, I did it briefly. I hope that's ok. I think we can all NPC him as needed in our scenes to move the story forward. I don't think we need to replace Richardson unless RedEve thinks that would be better. <br/></div></div>
