*Mencia quietly carries Nearly outside of the Wonder room, before stopping dead the instant they got into the hallway.  He almost drops her out of shock as all the inhabitions and bad things come back.  He has to swallow hard, and force a small smile, before shrugging and tilting his head with a forced smile.*

....hell of a room, eh?

Nearly's eyes go wide the moment they're out, and her blush returns with renewed vigor. She turns away from Mencia to hide it, and lets go of his arm to wrap her fingers around her hair, tugging gently. "Quite," she agrees, then frowns thoughtfully when she realizes they aren't moving. "We really should keep the kitten in check."

Y-yeah, of course.

*He can't quite meet her eyes, but begins walking anyway, cursing himself almost every step.*

Hey--listen. Everything okay?
