Xavier shrugged slightly and closed his eyes slightly The ammount of things he had noticed around him since she had laid her hand on him, could be easily counted on a hand... Among those were the fact that Devlin had rose from his seat... another was that he had gone... A third and last was that Reina was talking incoherently, but he didnt really feel the words to be aimed at him...
But beyond this something was happening inside his head,a group of thoughts separating themselves slightly from the rest that clearly focossed on his thigh and how warm her touch felt... These thoughts cried out to him, cursing him as an idiot, trying make him notice something stupid he had done...
And then, suddenly it stood clear to him... He had told one of his deepest secret to not only Reina, wich could prove to be bad enough, but at least he knew her... No, he had told a guy who basically was nothing but a stranger to him... His thoughts whirled up and refocused all of them now on Devlin and trying to remember what he had said.. He had given him an edge, a way to hit him.. now it was up to himself to remove the weakness as best he could... No matter how..
He looked down at Reina... This had to move forward... He had to take some kind of action now.. Softly he raised his hand to his leg, and placed it softly ontop of her hand, holding it softly...

(Let's review, 1 you were sitting on his lap in the common room, 2 you had a conversation that focused on him alone, 3 you rested your head on his shoulder all signs leading up to my conclusion)
She had helped him either way, and that was victory enough. However his curiousity had gotten the better of him. He turned his head one last time at Reina as if to tell her to find him later and then left the pub. He had no place to go really he just felt too out of place with them acting that way. He leaned against the wall just out side the pub deciding to enter in about ten minutes if they didn't come looking for him.

{okay well She was sitting on his lap and sitting beside him like most girls do who think they are everything. I had a convo because he was the ONLY one online and I don't like to wait. I rested my head on his shoulder for the same reason as number 1 and would you too if you were on more and talked to me more . Hmph!}
Reina's eyes were shocked when Devlin looked back. She had read a message there, but she wasn't sure what. Reina decided to find him later and ask him what that was all about. Reina watched him go out the door with a slight pout on her lips.
"That was weir..."
Reina trailed off when she felt Xavier's hand on her hand. Reina slowly focused her eyes on his and she held her breath. Love was for suckers. Love was for idiots. Wait! Do you love this kid? NO! Then why are you letting his hand rest on yours? I...
Reina jumped up pulled back. She reached for a menu and scanned it. Immersing herself into the menu.
"Hungry?"

Xavier looked at her as she pulled back, a bit shocked, a bit relieved... He wasnt really sure of her signals, and he certainly had no clue about what signals he was sending her... It was all starting to be tremendously confusing, And for a moment his thoughts froze like they had before...
That was till she asked that word... Hs mind opened to her and he turned slightly and looked at her, not able to hold back a smirk... "Yeah... alot..."

Reina grinned.
"I loooooooove food. All kinds. I'm only slightly picky like no tomatoes, though I love tomato soup, and no mushrooms. EWW!"
Reina made a disgusted face. She looked out the door as more people walked in and thought she saw Devlin.
"I think Devlin didn't leave, but is standing outside the door. Probably smoking a cigarette."
Reina scanned the menu then closed it already deciding what she was going to get.

"So.." Xavier said looking over her shoulder at the menu "What do they have? I could go for a steak right now... Or anything with a maximum of meat, and a minimum of vegetables in it" He said with a grin and looked at her with a smirk, before pulling back slightly...
"Ill just have whatever you have..." He said with a slight smile and placed his hand on the table, looking at it as if he wished to divert his own attention from something.. "Reina... What I told you earlier... Can you please keep that to yourself?"

Reina had just glanced up at Xavier wondering why his voice ws so close to her ear when she turned her head and was eye to eye with Xavier. Reina immediately went red and couldn't take in enough air, but he pulled back and she found she could breathe.
"Then order the jumbo steak...rare. You seem like a bloody sort of guy. Pun intended."
Reina snickered, but then he started blabbering about some nonesense.
"Keep what to myself? That you were once a squib? Sure, though I don't know why."
Reina put down the menu and signaled for the waitress. She unintentionally put her hand over his and though she meant to she couldn't pull her hand away from his. It was odd. His hand was warm, strong, and inviting. Suddenly thoughts of Val invaded her mind and Reina started to tear up.

Xavier shrugged slightly at her words... Maybe she was right... maybe he was being silly.. But then again.. That whole story had been nothing but pain and misery to him, and he knew from experience that nothing good could come from something as purely bad as that... and he doubted alot of people in his own house would welcome the second part of his story... A light shiver ran through him, and once more halted his line of thoughts, as her hand was placed upon his, and he could feel her warmth again... He looked down at the hand and over at her... Oh god... not again... ok.. what do I do?... Think brain, dammit, think Keeping his eyes fixed in hers, he moved his head slowly toward hers, tilting his head somewhat as his lips closed in on hers... ((Lars? lol ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ;D))

{Where do you see Lars? ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) } Reina sat there like an idiota watching his face move closer and closer when the waitress walked over and cleared her throat. Reina jumped back and immediately she felt her face go hot again. Dammit, what's wrong with me?"Yes, I want the Jurcarn with rice and he wants a steak and I think my friend outside might join us so just get him some pumpkin pastries. You can put this on my tab." Meaning: I ain't paying for nothing.

Xavier sighed and leaned back in the seat, not sure what feeling was strongest.. his annoyance with the waitress, or once again being halted just before... something... had happened... he didnt know what this something was... but he knew there was something inside him burning to know, to learn something.. both about himself, and about Reina...
After a small while of starring distant mindedly into the table he cleared his throat and turned to look at her... "You are with someone, arent you?" He asked, deciding to be completely open about it now..

Reina was so shocked by the question she could only stare for a brief second before laughing. She wiped at her eyes with the back of her hand as she calmed herself down.
"Me? No, I was serious with someone a year or so back, but ... come on you see my personality. It's hard to tolerate. Can you even imagine a guy with me?"
Reina shook her head laughing, but now it was to mask the pain she suddenly felt.

Xavier looked at her with serious eyes, as if searching for the truth somewhere deep inside her soul.. There was something hidden there... something she wasnt telling... He sighed slightly and leaned further against the seat, closing his eyes "I see... this guy though... What was he like? who is he?"

Reina sniffed. She looked at Xavier and shrugged her shoulders like it didn't care, but this subject was way too close to home.
"Nothing, he was great sorta then he joined some cult and he left. Never seen him again. The end. What about you? Any girlfriends? Any maybes? Hmmm?!"

"Nothing serious... Nothing beyond dates for Balls and the like anywho.." Xavier said with a shrug and turned his gaze up into the ceiling... There was no way he would keep asking her about this... He could almost hear the hurt in her voice, although she did a very good job of covering it up...
"So.." He said determined to bring up a lighter subject "How long is your tab here anyway?"

Anna strolled into the pub and took a relaxed breath. This was just the atmosphere she loved.She headed for a table close to the bar and settled herself in a chair, throwing her long hair behind her and taking no time to notice the people around her.
Pulling out a pad of paper she flipped to a page with a half finished sketch on it and fished a pencil from her pocket. Anna's normally cold eyes toned down but remained sharp as they examined every inch of the drawing. Seemingly satisfied and ready to begin where she left off, her hand flew over the paper in light strokes.
