The face matched the body in every way that mattered, and Kel found himself momentarily breathless as Hotaru turned to face him. Full lips, flashing eyes, a pert nose, all wrapped up in that petite, perfectly proportioned frame. Her smile had him swallowing, wanting to reach for a stick of charcoal and the paper he hoarded so jealously for when the muse struck.
Paper that was far away, worlds away, along with his home and family. The reminder brought a hint of sadness to his shy smile as the gorgeous woman approached, and he gave a small shake of his head, tongue-tied in spite of himself. "N-no, not at all." It was a clumsy assurance and he cleared his throat, conscious of his height in a way he so rarely was. "I only found it a few weeks ago. But its... it reminds me of my home. The music it makes does, at least. When I've had a tough day I like to come here and listen to it." He looked around for a moment, as if seeking a seat to offer the lady, but it was only ocean and sand stretching out around them, as it had been a minute ago, and he nodded a little awkwardly towards the cathedral for lack of anyplace else to go. "I'm Kellan. Kel, really. I'm sorry for interrupting you."
