And then Raiden shifted slightly, and Kiri's thoughts slammed into her head with the force of a hammer. They were full of shock and doubt. She was convinced she'd done something wrong. What was Raiden going to think of her? Oh, they were never going to be able to look at each other again.

Kiri moved her head back a bit so she could look at him. She also removed her hands. Her fingers twisted themselves into worried knots. He was going to say something now, that, she knew, would turn this whole enjoyable evening upside down. She breathed out deeply, forcing herself to keep eye contact. "Raiden, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The second Kiri's hands moved away from his skin, all the thoughts that were jammed together in his head rushed out in one. For a moment he was completely overwhelmed by the flood of unwanted mental work.

When it finally stopped, he remembered to breathe. Breathing was a good... good idea. Yes. Very good idea. He leaned back slightly, putting one hand behind him to keep himself from rolling backwards onto the ground. Breathe in. Breathe out.

...Kiri was talking. Focusing on what she was saying, however, was surprisingly easier than it had been before. Which was nice. It seemed like listening was effortless again, hooray. But... surely he was mishearing the words she was saying.

"Wh-What? You're wh-" he stopped speaking, swallowed, then tried again, his tone confused. "Why are you apologising?"
