Otus Nycteus

* Eli chuckles. *

I wouldn't go *that* far...

* He winks at Kyra. *

Though I know at least one person who would.

Kyra

Who, Mowgli? Nah, he'd be fine without me.

Kyra

*Kyra screws up her nose*

No.

*She shakes her head, smiling softly*

I think the fool's in love with me.

*She speaks with affection*

Why not?

Kyra

Otus Nycteus

* Eli chuckles. *

What is it, then?

Kyra

*Kyra shrugs and relaxes slightly*

I don't want him to love me. He doesn't even know me.

Otus Nycteus

* Eli smiles at Kyra. *

Are you sure about that? On both of those points, I mean?

Kyra

*Kyra shrugs*

He doesn't know a lot of what I've told you.

*And there are still things that Eli doesn't know about her*

Otus Nycteus

* Eli nods slowly. *

So what?

Kyra

*Kyra sighs*

'Cause if he knew then he wouldn't love me. So I should tell him, but I don't want to hurt him.

Otus Nycteus

* Eli smiles at Kyra. *

He loves you as you are now. Those experiences *made* you what you are now. So why wouldn't he love you if he knew?

Kyra

*Kyra takes a deep breath, and gets up to move to the couch, where she discovers she's shaking slightly*

Because ... it's a pattern. I don't want it and I don't mean it, but men fall in love with me.

*She rolls her eyes*

I know how that sounds, but ... before I was arrested, to get what I wanted, I let men ... I let them think that I liked them, and they'd fall all over themselves, telling me that they loved me, it was disgusting.

*She's disgusted at herself, and that she'd told Eli. She turns into the couch to hide her face*

Otus Nycteus

* Eli gets up and sits down next to Kyra. *

So? Do you let Mowgli think you like him, or *do* you actually like him?

Kyra

*Kyra sighs shakily*

I do like him. I don't want to hurt him.
