She lifted an eyebrow when Shinon answered and she took a few moments to look him over. Then she gave a small smile and lifted her right hand to curl her fingers in a greeting to him.

She felt like she'd had this conversation with him before. Whenever she went for some good amount of time without seeing him, he always said it. 'Been a while.'

"Hello," she began. Another look over him and her eyes caught onto his bow before looking back up to his face. "Am I interrupting?"

Nabooru blinked and looked aside for a moment. "What, I can't just come to see you? Isn't it normal when I come to see you that I'm actually here to see you?" She drew her hand to her face and rubbed at her cheek in thought. He was being a bit sharp of the tongue. Maybe she should have gone to see Byrne first.

"Or is this because I haven't come to see you for a while? I know I've only seen you once since you got back..." Her head tipped and her expression grew serious, "I needed to go home and attend to something. I would have come sooner, but I was trying to deal with some stuff."

She hesitated and she knew she had when she heard him. She had assumed he hadn't actually known she was gone, which was why she'd even bothered to say anything in the first place. And now that he was questioning her in his oh-so-Shinon way, Nabooru didn't quite know what to say.

"The Goddess of the Sand requested me," she explained. "I needed to see what she needed, from me, of all people." A hand settled to her hip as she eyed him, "I came here to make up for lost time, because I'm not a very good..."

...Girlfriend? She left it in the air for him to define. "So I'm here now, which is better than me not being here at all." And even she knew he enjoyed her company.

"There's nothing in this world or the next that can kill me. But anyone or anything that thinks it can is welcome to try." She tugged on her gloves, as if to tighten them, though their position didn't move much - if at all.

"Besides, I couldn't just up and leave you without giving some kind of notice. You'd get bored without me." And she inched over as if customary to greet him in such a way. Her chin tilted up and she pressed a kiss to his cheek. Because yes, a kiss was pretty customary whenever they saw one another.

So yes. Maybe it wasn't just a black and white relationship.

At first she began to protest and when he retracted, she smiled. Even turned the slightest shade of pink. Because she knew while he may have been teasing before, he wasn't teasing when he admitted that she made things a little better. And after spending a lot of time feeling unappreciated, it was nice even when he hinted that he did enjoy having her around a bit.

And he'd said it before, too. When he came back. Well. He'd implied it. She hadn't forgotten.

"I have to confess something," she started as she tapped his forearm. And as though it was done with great reluctance (which wasn't the case at all and simply Nabooru being dramatic), she continued. "I wanted you to meet someone. The martial arts instructor."
