Kenji was quiet for a while. The idea of Brissa going back to Alatar made him more upset then angry. Things looked better when she was around. Maybe it was because she knew Alatar personally. Or perhaps it was just Kenji being his usual self. "Brissa, if you go back now. He won't listen. He'll open his arms, pretending that he cares. But the second you enter those castle doors, you'll never see the light of day again. Think about everything he's done to get to the position of power he's in. What makes you think he'll just reconsider all the lives he destroyed and surrender over his kingdom? You can go back. But if you do, you'll just be his pawn. Something he can hold onto or dispose of, whichever he prefers. If you've seen one tyrant you've seen them all.." Kenji was just really thinking aloud during most of his little speech. "But to be honest.." He hesitated.

Should he tell her why he wanted her to stay? If he did, maybe she would. But Kenji was never really good at showing his feelings. "To be honest.. Things are better with you around." That's not what he meant, but it was the only words he could produce. Suddenly though, it hit Kenji. Why he wanted her to stay. Then his mind flashed back to when he kissed her, and for some odd reason that seemed like a good idea. Kenji painfully turned around and stared at Brissa. "Things are better for me when you're here. I can't explain it, but they just are.." I can't believe I'm gonna do this.. If she hits me, I'm screwed. Clearing his mind, Kenji leaned forward without hesitating and kissed her. Yep. I'm screwed.
