That's not an excuse, Dove. I still shouldn't have hurt you.

[phoenixstrut]

[... She'll play it his way for now.]

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

[She's gentle about it, but firm.]

[despisesthegods]

[He was quiet for a long moment.]

What made you think to kiss me?

[phoenixstrut]

[...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...

[despisesthegods]

I have, yes. And obviously I wasn't dying.

[phoenixstrut]

[Well then.]

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.

[despisesthegods]

I told you. I'm immortal.

[He means that.]

Kissing someone isn't the usual reaction to something like that.

[phoenixstrut]

[Ah, shoot. She had known that, hadn't she?

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?
