Silvertip Mountain Leaving you scraping at the bottom of the barrel

Steady nodded, smiling. Yeah, romantic special, he confirmed. He was developing feelings for her, and to be honest, it did scare him a bit. He had lost too many loved ones in such a short period of time, and he didn't know if he could stand to get close to someone and have it happen again. But, then he remembered the advice he had given to Desna. We only lose our loved ones, not strangers, and it was always worth it. 

She tensed at his question, and he almost recanted it, but then she answered. He nodded, feeling it best to leave that as it was and not probe any further. 

He smiled when she asked if it was bad that she kissed him, about to shake his head and respond, when Phocion entered the picture. Really? Steady turned a wide gaze on him, motioning silently with his head for the male to go. He didn't want to outright tell Phocion to leave, knowing it would be rude. But, maybe he could take a hint.
