[Kaliko]

Nic shook his head.

[Rinrou]

Laurel looked a little confused.

[Kaliko]

Like usual, Nic didn't elaborate.

[Rinrou]

"You know what's best." Laurel relented as she reached up and cupped Nic's cheek in her hand, "Anyway, I better be off before Rosen gets bored." she smiled.

[Kaliko]

Nic looked at her for a short moment before pulling her a little closer and bending down. He might not have any control over stopping her, but he'd make sure she'd remember what she was leaving behind.

[Rinrou]

Nic could feel Laurel relax as she melted a little, it didn't seem like she was likely to forget anything. "Goodness..." she murmured as she put a hand on her now reddish brown cheek, "You get a warning but I don't?" she complained without any real complaint before hugging Nic tightly.

[Kaliko]

"... Do you want a warning?" Nic tried to clarify.

[Rinrou]

"No." Laurel replied, "Surprises are more fun." she smirked, "And I don't lose my head like you do."

She squeezed him a little tighter and then, a bit reluctantly, let go, "I'll stay safe; Rosen's trained well." she told Nic, "I'll be back bugging you before you know I'm gone." she teased as she quickly kissed his cheek.

[Kaliko]

Nic chose not to comment.

He managed to sneak in another quick kiss before she pulled away.

[Rinrou]

Laurel seemed to be wavering a little as she eyed Nic, "Should I try what I've been practicing before I go?" she asked with a playful glint in her eyes, "I don't want you to forget me after-all..."

[Kaliko]

Nic didn't look sure if he wanted to know what Laurel had been "learning."

[Rinrou]

Laurel suddenly leaned in and kissed Nic. She managed to be much more skilled in pleasing him than before but also retained the sense of innocence.

[Kaliko]

Laurel got the effect she was looking for, but it wasn't too clear how Nic actually felt about it.

[Rinrou]

Laurel pulled away and gripped Nic's face between her hands, "Don't worry." she informed him as she rubbed her nose against his, "When I kiss Rosen, it's just lust. When I kiss you, it's love." she nodded as if that made perfect sense and let go of him.

[Kaliko]

It wasn't clear how Nic felt about that either. But he didn't say anything.

[Rinrou]

Laurel sighed a little, "I wish I could read your expressions already." she complained quietly before glancing at the time, "I better get back, I'll bring you breakfast in a bit then we'll be taking off. Will you be in here?"
