A light smirk forms on his lips as he grasped her cool hands. He remembers training how to fight with his own mother as well. Those fond memories did help to lighten the mood a bit. "She must have been a great woman."
a curious look crosses his face when she talked about not training again. It was understandable that she would have some trepidation after such an incident. "I can see not wanting to after that. Perhaps you can train with me sometime?" he asked with a light smile. His mood lightens a bit.

"She- is," Rose corrects, softly. His hands are cool against the warmth in hers, and she smiles absently at him as she imagines what her mother would say if she'd seen his blunder. Her eyes are far away- it's been too long since she visited her mother, really.
"Training with you would be nice, I think," she adds, coming back to the subject at hand. "I wouldn't want to hurt you, too, but... we'll see what happens." The smile widens, seeming more present than she'd been just a moment ago. "I want to learn more- that's really what I want to do with my life; learn, and develop my magic."
"Oh right, sorry" he chuckles, being a little forgetful sometimes of such things. He was glad though that she did not think too much on his mishap. He missed his own parents, and often thinks on how It would be like if it was different for him.
"oh I wouldn't worry about accidentally causing me pain. With all I been through, I kinda gotten used to it." He smiles lightly, trying to at least lighten the mood somewhat. He would be quite interested in training with her sometime.

Rose squeezes his hand lightly, perceiving why he'd made the mistake- and for a moment, she sits in silence, then removes one of her hands from his. A soft smile crosses her face, as though to ensure he knows it'll return, and she goes to take a drink from her Flamespitter. She savors it on her tongue, then leans across the table to kiss him on the cheek, with little warning save the light touch of her hand coming back to his.
Seeming satisfied by the contact of her lips to his cheek, she settles back onto the booth's hard, wooden seat. "It sounds like you've had enough of it, though- besides, it was a failure on my part; I should never have let the fire get out of my control."
He smiles as she leans over the table to kiss his cheek. A light blush forms on his cheeks, partially due to the heat of her lips. It was rather unexpected that she had given such affection, but certainly not unwelcome.
"I have lived with pain in some form for this long, a little more wont hurt, so to speak." he taps her warm hands and gives a light smile. It was nice that she actually worried about his well being "The good thing about failure, is that often it gives us a chance to try again to get it right. I am sure you mother is very proud of you."

At the tap of his fingers, her hands curl around his, trapping them there in a light hold. "How do you mean? Does the-" She lowers her voice, not wanting to be overheard. "Does the rune magic cause pain?"
At his comment, Rose smiles a little. "I suppose so- she lets her burn scars show." A flicker of sadness appears in her eyes; she remembers the day that she gave those scars, and doesn't remember it with nearly as much pride as her mother does.
Her light grip of his hand, the hold comforts him a bit. With her whispered question he nods a bit and lowers the ton to meet hers. "Sometimes, yes. On occasion It does cause me pain. Like when i get nightmares, the physical pain comes back. But I will be fine.."
He smiles back to her. "No need to be upset. I am sure she shows them out of pride, and loves you very much."

"Nightmares from the invasion, then?" It's a gentle inquiry, to confirm his implication. Sometimes, she has dreams of fire, too, and the scent of her mother's burnt skin.
"It's fine," she says, quickly erasing the expression with another sip of her drink. The sprinkled-in hearts catch on her lip, and her tongue flicks out to wipe some of them away- and she meets his eyes as she does so, changing the look of sadness to one with a bit more intention.
He takes a sigh as he looks on the table. he fidgets slightly with the sleeve of his left arm as he spoke "yes, among other things." he would take a look at his scarred arm before he looks back at her "I-Im fine really. I guess i had gotten used to living with it for this long." he gave her a warm smile. He really didn't want her to worry about him.

Rose casts a glance down at her left wrist, where, without her coat sleeve to cover it, her scar shows easily. The memories are still clear from that afternoon- but she smiles back, and skims her fingers lightly over the scars that peek out at the edge of his wrist.
"...I like you," she admits suddenly, and breaks into a grin. It'd been a while since she'd had anyone to tell that to, and she hopes he'll take it well.
he looks down to see her tracing a one of the grooves of his scar. a light exhale escapes his lips as she had expressed she liked him. He looks back up to her, a light blush forming on his face."I like you too". It was a bit of a surprise to him that she would say she liked him so soon. The last time they spoke here, she talked about something about romance and long term relationships. maybe it would be a good time to ask.
"I remember you saying before, about long term arrangements, and them being... different. What did you mean by that?" he questioned. He wanted to know what she meant by that. The way she said it a few days ago had caught his interest.

Sonder chokes on the sip she'd been taking from her Flamespitter. He remembers that? Fuck-! She's surprised by the fact he'd remember such a small comment, and more than a little dismayed that he'd brought it up so soon. It takes her a moment to recover, and her hand flies back to rest over her mouth, keeping the drink from spraying over the table as she coughs. Her cheeks are red when she can finally speak, and she seems incredibly hesitant.
"Uh- it's- a long story," she answers, her eyes looking everywhere but at him.
A look of concern came across his face. However when she had recovered from it, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. It must be a touchy subject if she reacted this much to it
Even though she wasn't looking at him directly, he still looked at her with a warm concern. "Still though, I would like to hear about it if that is okay. I don't usually hear that, it intrigued me is all". He softly spoke. He hoped it wouldn't scare her off, but he did want to know after all.

After a moment, her eyes shift from a scuff mark on the floor to meet his- their eyes are the same color, she notices, and it shifts her decision. He... is from a tribe in Freljord, and he has tattoos on his face, and he's a hundred years old because of a brush with rune magic. ...I guess he'd be the safest person here to tell. At the thought, a smile crosses her face, and she nods, composing herself.
"Well, I- I'm not monogamous," she says, quietly. Her lower lip, tucked under her teeth, speaks volumes for her trepidation, and a near-childlike fear in her eyes speaks for her expectations. It doesn't look like she believes he'll react well...
His left brow would raise slightly, more out of curiosity than anything. not monogamous? interesting never heard someone admit that. he thinks for a moment trying to piece together what she meant.
"not monogamous? how do you mean?" he asks in a near whisper, not wanting to embarrass her further. The soft tone in his voice indicative that he was not being downcast on her, but of legitimate curiosity. he could understand her hesitation though he was interested in what she means, if she is not monogamous.
