[She's just barely gotten off her couch before he knocks. She almost yelps when the surprise makes her tense, but instead grabs a blanket off the couch and wraps up in it as she heads to her room to grab a sweatshirt.]
Come in!
[Lovey's at the door already, poised and ready to pounce up on him the second he opens the door.]
[Styxx opens the door and steps in, and the moment Lovey pounces on him he smiles and picks the little Eevee up to give it some attention. He really was an animal kinda guy.]
[Dove's still just enough in her living room to see the smile and watch him scoop the eevee up.
...hm.
Shaking her head fondly, she dips into her room, dropping the blanket and scooping up a pullover to toss on with her shorts. It takes a little more effort then usual, but once she's decent, she makes her way back out to him, Ace leaving her side to go greet the man as well.
Looks like Lovey isn't the only one who's warmed up to Styxx.]
That was quick.
[She's just going to hover in the doorway a moment...]
She nods, watching the three and expecting her swablu to join in any moment. For now, it remained perched atop the bookshelf, snacking on... something or another.]
That's handy... Can you fly and see through walls, too? [she grins, knowing full well there's a solid chance he'll miss the reference. Doesn't matter. For now she's just going to make her way back to her wine glass and take a seat on the arm of her couch. Easier than trying to sink into the cushions with busted ribs.]
I must decline for now, but thank you for the offer. Dove, we need to really talk about what happened. First off, I must apologize in person for my actions. I know I hurt you, and I shouldn't have. As for the kiss.....I don't know what came over me and I must apologize wholeheartedly for it.
[She pauses, considering his words, then sighs and shakes her head.]
I know you wouldn't purposefully hurt me; you weren't yourself. I'll heal... and probably be ready for combat this weekend. [If he still wanted to be around her long enough to train.
She...pretty much just drops the bit about the kiss.
She obviously heard him though, if the light flush of her cheeks and her sudden fascination with her wine glass are anything to go by.]
[...of course she's not getting away from it that easily. She studies him a moment more, then shakes her head.
I mean... have you seen yourself?
[She immediately cringes mentally. It's a terrible defense, she knows, and instead of being funny she's... not entirely sure she's done anything but make it more awkward.]
It was a Salvation Kiss... you were dying, and an Angel's kiss can bring people back from the brink of death so I figured it was worth a shot...
She sighs, swirling the wine in the glass before downing the rest of it. She's feeling rather backed into a corner and isn't really sure of a straight answer.]
I just thought it would shock you out of...whatever that was, [she finally tells him, shrugging in defeat.
She does pause a moment, then quietly:] ....Why did you kiss me back?

It seems my powers allow me teleportation abilities, so yes, as strange as it is, I'm able to get wherever I need to quickly.

There's wine in the cooler if you'd like. Help yourself.

It's not something I could hold against you, but you're already forgiven.

You're sure? That was a lot of power taking you over. I almost went full archangel because of it.
[She swirls her wine, staring into the glass.]
It worked, regardless.

[He means that.]
Kissing someone isn't the usual reaction to something like that.
