Slowly Ash stood, watching him a moment. Once she had stood fully only then did she take his hand but her eyes were pensive. “Are you sure about this? You… You don’t look so good…” She murmured softly, worry in her gaze. She didn’t want him to push himself, but she had a feeling he could be as stubborn as she….

His hand went red as she touched his hand. His lips quivered as his nerves jumped every which way. "P-Perfectly fine!" He stuttered before looking away and quickly recoiling his hand. Bad idea. Very bad idea! He placed his hand over his mouth, blush only becoming more present at his strange outburst. He should have stayed quiet!

Ash blinked a moment as she saw him blush, raising an eyebrow. Her Greek ancestor, and for that matter much of her family still, greeted family and friends with a kiss on the cheek so she thought nothing of the simple gesture of taking his hand. She was even more surprised as he spoke, considering how rarely he did so… hell she only recently found out he even could.

She couldn’t help but giggle a little, giving him a gentle smile. “If you say so….” She commented with a bewildered shrug. She patted his healthy shoulder gently, saying “Sorry… anyway were do you want to go?” She became more cheerful then though still slightly worried… and perplexed by his shyness.

Ryu swallowed before moving quickly towards the front door. Uncomfortably, but quickly. It wasn't as his his legs had been injured; just his torso. He opened the door, the cold bite getting under his skin. But... where would they go? He couldn't think of anything, but anything was better than being so disrespectful as to fall asleep in a guests house. He still wasn't right in mind, though. He'd left behind his bag, and hardly even cared to notice.

Ryu… you’re bag…” As started lightly biting her lip. He never forgot his bag.. And taking no pencil and paper either.. Shaking her head she walked after him, taking his healthy shoulder in her hand. “Ryu… you’re not safe like this… just rest. We have a guess bedroom if you’d prefer to lay down….but we’re not going anywhere. Be practical…” She said with a sigh, watching him with sudden worry. “Please ryu…?” She asked quietly.

Ryu felt her hand, turning to face her before suddenly cringing. Too much movement too quickly! He gripped his stomach and crouched down, trying to overcome the sore pain. He breathed deeply before nodding to her. She really didn't want him to leave. But... this was embarrassing! He didn't want to fall asleep at her house!

Ryu… just let yourself sleep… please? I’ll make us lunch while you rest… hope you like peanut better and jelly, I‘m not a very creative cook…” Ash suggested gently, taking his hand ever so gently. Slowly she began to lead him away from the door, her face seeming to say she wouldn’t give up till he rested. She then spoke again, her pale blue eyes going to him. “ It’d be more rude to refuse you know… now the chair or the guest room?” she turned to look at him and smiled warmly.
