Maxxen was surprised by the deed on her own volition and when his lips met hers, he responded in kind, taking her lips with a hunger he hadn't felt in a long time. Kissing here by the docklands in Reajh. It was almost storybook.
When he pulled away, there was something different in his demeanor and he looked at Yvaine with a solemn expression, half-lidded eyes. "My, my, you kiss a man on first meeting? How...scandalous," he murmured with a glimpse of a smile, leaning in to bring his lips to her neck, feeling the quickening pulse along her throat.
