Oh, now this was just too perfect. Sebby was staring at the painting that led the way to the kitchens, no doubt wondering whether or not he was willing to actually sneak into a room for sustenance. Rylie would do so in a heartbeat, but Sebastian probably had a hard time rationalizing things to a point that would get him to actually go through with something like that.

She smirked as he reached out his hand hesistantly, and she walked as quietly as she could up to him and cleared her throat, hoping he'd jump. Maybe that was cruel, but she couldn't help it! Something about Sebby, she couldn't resist that sort of thing.

"Go on then, tickle it! I'm starving," she said quirking a brow and crossing her arms over her chest.

What were the odds? Honestly. She needed to thank someone for such brilliant timing!

[sebbyrivera]

"ARGH!" was all Sebastian managed to get out before turning sharply enough to send him toppling towards the painting. A second before he crashed into the very picture of a pear he had been trying to tickle, he jumped back, changed course, and crashed into Rylie instead.

Head buzzing with the sudden onslaught of crashings and potential crashings, he quickly backed off before any more harm could be done. And opted to stand woefully a distance away from both the painting and Rylie.

"Well. That didn't help," he considered jumping at the thing and tickling it like mad because hungry! But Rylie would most certainly do something akin to a smirk and then he'd feel awkward and things. So instead, he stood there and waited it out. Shooting the girl barely concealed hopeful looks every few moments.

[rylielogan]

Rylie hadn't expected him to crash into her! Mouth slightly agape as she picked herself up the floor, she finally felt it. She finally knew what it was like to feel awkward. As Sebastian sent her hopeful glances, she closed her mouth and tried to hide the confusion in her eyes.

Could he not... look at her... right now? Odd. Odd. Odd. She closed her eyes tightly and pretended to have a headache. She nodded her head as she put a hand to her temple and coughed.

"Go... go ahead. I'll follow you in."

[sebbyrivera]

((I can't breathe now and it's all your fault))

Sebastian blinked rapidly for a moment or two and decided waiting perhaps wasn't going to get him fed. Rylie looked... well. Odd. At least, there was no readily discernable smirk, or the like. He frowned slightly and slowly went back over to the pear. Staring it down for a moment, he raised his hand and tickled it. Okay, so now he felt entirely silly as well. He hoped Rylie was amused, whatever she was playing at.

Turning back around sheepishly, he glanced at the girl and the portrait fell open.

"Er..." he started, then stopped, continuing to stretch the noise out. Panicking slightly at his inability to say anything, he was relieved beyond all belief as several small voices began chattering 'hello' at him. House elves. Um, might as well. He turned back and stepped through the portrait.

[sebbyrivera]

To say Sebastian wasn't shocked would be lying. He could not have possibly been any more shocked. First by the not understanding bit. What was he not understanding. He thought he was doing awfully well understanding, under the circumstances. Understanding all sort of things he wouldn't normally be willing to understand. Or something. Okay, maybe he was confused.

Then she kissed him? Okay, so. Okay. He could deal with that. Seeing as he was such a pro now, of course. Practically literate in the arena. Oh no, oh no, oh no, he was going to mess something up and he was positive his hand wouldn't be too nice to hold because it was probably clammy or something and why was he even thinking about this? Because thinking about how to kiss was worse? Probably. He had to not think. Except that just made him hit Rylie's shoulder with elbow as he attempted to move closer. Which brought on the thinking-shock! again. Ngh

[rylielogan]

What if he didn't want her to kiss him? What if the first time was simply an accident? What if a house elf had made him lose his balance and he had fallen... er... to her lips? It was possible! 'Thought not probable, so enjoy this you daft girl!' the rational part of her brain screamed back.

In any normal situation, a situation without her lips attached to someone else's, she probably would have thought 'ow' or something similar as she was elbowed in the shoulder. Instead, she smiled at the prospect of him actually attempting to move closer. So it had failed. So what? She was actually starting to forget about the house elves.

He was holding onto her arm again. For some reason she hoped it would just stay there, but it seemed like a ridiculous idea to have. At least nothing was touching her toes, right? She was obviously loads better.

"Don't apologize! Well, I mean.... not for everything," she said, laughing just slightly afterward

[sebbyrivera]

Okay, things seemed to have calmed down then. The elves had gone off. Though probably to cook dozens of more things to shove in their hands. Sebastian's spoon was gone and Rylie wasn't holding anything. And the kitchen was rather tidy actually. He'd just noticed that.

Not that he cared, except, um. Yes, things were fine. People did this. Maybe not Sebastian people, not with older girls- oh Merlin oh Merlin. Thought. Out. Brain. Now. Okay. That was fine. Take a breath of air or something. Yes... air that smelled like creepy house elves

[rylielogan]

Somehow, in the midst of all the confusion and.. well... snogging, she had forgotten that Sebastian was, in fact, that way. If he felt that he needed to apologize for something, then he would. It was probably a good thing that he had even voiced some sort of thought, as she could hardly think of more than one or two words at a time. And he was smiling at her in this way that was just so... Sebastian! It was making her positively giddy, which was also highly unusual.

If there was one thing about Rylie, it was that most everything bounced off of her. She was indifferent, detached and observing things from afar. As much as she loved who she was, and would continue to be herself, she was starting to realise that some things were much better to experience first hand. Much, much better.

She had expected him to move away from her and actually brave finding a house elf to supply him with whatever he felt like eating, but he reached over for a loaf of bread and began to eat it sort of... disinterested.

"I like you, you know, this way,"
