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's not something I could hold against you, but you're already forgiven.
[She's gentle about it, but firm.]

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.
