Untouched by the grace of non familial hands, Delita's head curls by instinct into her fingers. Afraid to move lest she withdraw her touch, Delita holds his breath. Time lost all meaning at that moment as he struggled to understand and compartmentalize what was happening this evening.
His own hand rose and fell as rationale thought gave way to emotion. While his hand ached to surround the princess yet again, his mind warred within assuring him that the fates were cruel and this could not be what it seemed.
Knowing that there is no reward without risk, he needed to know. Letting her hand remain where she saw fit, he gazed deep into her eyes determined to know if this was nothing but gratitude or if there was something more.
"Ashelia..." He spoke eyes brimming with an earnest need to know. He would rather she pull away now in embarrassment than risk their friendship with an unwanted hand around the waist.
