If she let him.

Frowning a little out of confusion when her hand flew to her arm--wands were the last thing on his mind--he was comletely aware of three things: fear radiating from her; her weak attempt at acting as if she didn't get his question again and how she didn't step back. There was still the risk of being slapped or jinxed when he went for it. It was worth trying though. Maybe he would understand some things. He needed to understand some things.

Closing those few centimetres between them, he could still think of moving his free hand to his wand in the pocket just in case and clutched it firmly, right before he closed his eyes and softly pressed his lips on hers, trying to keep it as light as he could. He didn't want to intimidate her any more, after all. The decision was still hers to either stop or deepen it.

Because he actually cared for people's opinions that deserved it.


And thus Aspen Odessa received her first kiss.

She hadn't had any expectations for the whole kissing thing, not really, save for one: that her first kiss would be Cornelius Rune -- not the-boy-who-blasted-her-wand. Not the boy that pointed his wand at West and kept Aspen afraid of him most times. Cornelius gave kisses away freely, gladly, happily and often. Just not... like this. Not to where Aspen was expected to reciprocate. Cornelius made sense; Joao made none.

She also probably would have expected a first kiss to not involve wands at the ready - but here they were.

Aspen wasn't sure who won this round of Chicken Wizards Chess. It was very confusing. How did she actually win? Kiss him back (...she wasn't certain on how to, exactly), or go for wands? Was it strange that neither option stood out as a "best"?? Aspen went with the former, she kissed him back..sort of. A little. Kind of. Slowly, as if she was taste-testing a new flavor, or doing a new experiment. Aspen was as meticulous and curious about kissing as she was with most things.

It seemed easier and safer than drawing her wand - she DID have Ebert on her person and if they were going to duel, she didn't need him in the line of fire. There. Justification for her actions.

"Is this the gift?" Aspen asked, not exactly breaking the kiss, but not quite able NOT to ask. Her eyes were open now, but as was the trend this Odessa wasn't backing away.

What an interesting gift...
