Neverwinter Forest and the wind, whispering soft lullabies

Yeah, it felt weird to be talking about it. But at least Hua wasn't angry. He didn't want to ruin things with her, so he'd accept awkward and try and fix it in the future -- it seemed more within reach than befriending Cupid at least. It's about all we can do. And even if he did wake up, Mal still wasn't sure if things were fixable. He hoped they were. He still didn't understand why it had turned the way it had. 

Pause. Awkward silence. But he peered back at her, sort of shy to start because he wasn't sure whether he was saying things right, But next time when we meet up, I'd love to be able to not have it be business, you know? I'd like to be able to get to know you better. Be able to have things not be quite so awkward. By then he grinned a little, sheepish. He sort of shifted a little towards her, a sort of nudge that was more into the air than actually touching her, uncertain if she would think it was totally inappropriate to actually do so. But that was the funny thing about emotions, wasn't it? He could be sad about one thing but happy about another. Details be damned.
