Sesshoumaru maintained his position. He did not want to scare her off by being too presumptuous. She bit her lip nervously and started to wring her hands. He dropped the lock of hair he had been toying with and instead lifted her chin with a hooked index finger. Shining blue met molten gold and it took every ounce of self control he had to not kiss her right then and there.
She stared at him with wide eyes and he watched as a blush crept up to her cheeks. She turned her head away. He stopped himself from reaching over as she completely turned around, her back facing him and her head held low.
He started to worry. Perhaps this would be a little more complicated than anticipated. His energy started to become a little more sporadic, hers however had not changed. It seemed as determined as ever and as eager to play as before. His youki calmed at the touch of her reiki and he heard light shuffling sounds coming from the little priestess.
She seemed to be fiddling with something on her chest, he lightly grabbed her elbow and she stopped. With the slightest of force he beckoned her to turn around and she did. She refused to meet his eyes however, instead staring intently at the floor.
He raised an eloquent eyebrow at her strange behavior. He didn't notice anything amiss. He took her hand and coaxed her a little closer towards the light, taking in her appearance. 'Ah…' he thought. He fought a smile as he noticed that two of the toggles of her coat had been removed. It would seem she was working on the third one but it was proving to be a little more difficult. He decided he would help her out, but not by removing the closures. He took one of her hands in his and lifted it up to the toggle, encouraging her to continue as he stepped back to watch.
