It is never wrong
Rio lets out a small laugh.
- I didn't say anything, silly.
David likes the way she smiles at him, amused and curious.
- I feel relaxed around you, Rio.
David likes saying her name.
- Whenever I am her, by myself, I begin to feel a tremendous pressure in my heart, almost as though it wants to explode.
- You mean "here", not HER.
- Oh. Yes, of course. That's what I meant.
- But that's not what you said.
Feeling somewhat guilty now, although he didn't know exactly why he should. Although, they had seen each other here with some frequency (and, yes, even expectancy) and his own conscience now moved him to say,
- I've been wondering about the Humans.
- Her Art.
- What was that?
And now it was David's turn to be amused and curious. And not a little relieved that Rio, as well, had given this some thought.
