HARPER
Honestly he's split between feeling proud to have struck her wordless, or fearing he has misstepped with his honesty. At the very least she doesn't seem offended, doesn't roll her eyes or dismiss him out of hand. Apologizing for his own feelings wouldn't happen, but at least he would have apologized for making her uncomfortable. Perhaps he hasn't though, not with how she backs away and grabs his hand to lead him deeper into the house. He trails along pleasantly behind her, gaze taking in everything they pass with interest that only grows as she opens a door and leads him into what is clearly her room. Well, that's his answer regarding her night rituals.
Sapphire eyes sweep the room, appreciating the finery of the armor that his eyes first land upon before cataloging every other detail that remains. It's like a snapshot of who Kiada is, this most private space of hers. It's a deeply humbling experience, to be let into her sanctuary like this, and one he doesn't take lightly. When he soaks it all in he turns and smiles at her, and - hoping to chase the seriousness from her eyes - grabs her around the waist and quickly hustles towards the bed, tossing her onto the matress in one swift motion, mischief gleaming in the cut of his grin.
