Rein gasped. "Would you?" She asked. She had hoped and planned to ask, but never expected Kei to offer. She was really starting to adore this boy. "And i don't mind the stutter." She promised. "It gives you character." She giggled and danced about the room, spinning and laughing. Her cat jumped onto the bed, fully used to her excitement.

Kei smiled warmly and sat on the floor with a big grin. Oh how he couldn't wait to read this book! "Well, s-shall we start n-now then?"
Mijo let out a happy yip and sat near her master's leg, purring contently.

Rein paused in the middle of her happy dance. "Really?" She asked excited. "Ok, i'll be right back!" She darted to the door but missed the handle in her hurry, smacking her knuckles on the ornamental wood frame. She blushed crimson as she felt for the handle. She darted from the room and could be heard scurrying down the stairs.

Kei blinked, eyes wide as he watched her scramble around. He was about to ask if she was alright but she was already out the door. Where was she going? He couldn't be sure, but he opened the cover of the book to inspect a few of the pages as he waited patently for her return.
Mijo watched, her ears twitching and her maw upturned in a smile at Rein's antics.

Rein returned quickly, her breath gasping as she pushed the door open with her hip. Her hands were full with a tray. on it were two kettles freshly steaming, two cups and a glass bowl. "I brought drinks!" she announced. from the doorway. "Moll gets thirsty real fast when she reads to me. And your still weak so I bought you some strengthening herb tea. And some Sweet fruit tea for me and Mijo too." She smiled, still by the door, she'd have to wait till they said something. She had already embarrassed herself with the door, she really didn't want to trip over anyone and she'd spill the teas. that and her breathing was too loud to tell their location by listening for their breath. "They make the best rejuvenation teas down in the hub. And I asked for their very best. If you want to go over the mountain passes you'll have to be very strong. They are always swarming with beasts and..." She was so red by this point she practically glowed with her embarrassment. "Sorry." She mumbled one hand balanceing the tray and the other covering her lips. "I know I talk too much..."

He blinked and then smiled. "Thank y-you, v-very much!" he said with delight. She truly was a kind person. He nodded at that information but gulped slightly as well. Oh yes, the monsters, he'd forgotten about them. Though they existed in human territories they weren't as prominent as they were in Falmour for whatever reason. The thought of tangling with any one of them made him pale and a little bit light headed, but he quickly shook these feelings away. It wouldn't be very good of him to pass out before reading to her. He paused and then smiled warmly before saying in a light hearted manner. "You d-don't talk t-too m-much."
Mijo yipped happily, very pleased that Rein had included her as well. She couldn't say she'd ever tried this sort of thing, but from what she could smell it probably tasted very nice.

Rein grinned, happy Kei didn't find her too much. So many people said she was over excited and much too talkative than is proper for a lady. They just didn't understand that Rein had no interest in being a 'proper young heiress' as her papa desired. "Yay!" She declared and trotted over to her night stand now that she had an idea of where Kei and Mijo were. She slid the tray onto the small table and after smelling which tea was which She felt for a cup and poured one for Kei. then setting them aside poured the bowl full of the other. She sat her tea and the last glass on the table and brought the tray to Kei She didn't stand too close but held it out for him to approach and accept. She knew he was still nervous. She could feel his tension radiating from him.

Kei swallowed hard at the offered drink before reaching out a tentative hand towards them. It was okay, he was okay. Swallowing again his hands felt clammy as he took his cup gently off of the tray.
Mijo placed her tail on Kei's hand and let out a comforting 'chi'.
Sitting it next to him, he carefully took hold of the bowl and lowered it to the floor for Mijo to be able to reach. Picking up his cup he looked at Rein and smiled weakly his form still shaking slightly. "T-Thank you."

Rein smiled as she felt the weight lift from the tray. "My pleasure!" She sang out, setting the tray and bowl onto the floor and sliding it next to Kei. She hummed her new lullaby as she skipped to her bed and lifting her cat settled down next to the table. She poured her own glass of Fruit tea and settled back againsed her pillows, sipping lightly at the warm liquid.

Taking a drink of his tea, he sighed contently. Mijo also taking a lap of hers and yipped in delight.
"S-Shall I...I begin?" the young man asked, voice warm. "Oh, w-where were y-you in t-the introduction, w-e c-could begin w-were you l-left off. If y-you want."

Rein shook her head. "Just start from the beginning. I don't mind hearing it over." Her anticipation was obvious as she smiled and hummed softly to herself, petting her cat gently,

Kei nodded, very excited about the fact that he was getting to read a part of the Calgor's history. "A-Alright, here w-we go."
And thus he began the introduction to the book. It surprised him but he didn't stutter, not once. He wasn't sure why exactly, because even though he'd promised not to stutter he was sure he was going to do it.

Rein listened intently to Kei's reading. His voice was so clear and somehow lovely as she heard him speak fluidly for the first time. She sighed as he spun the histories into vivid reality. She didn't even notice as his story turned into dreams as she eventually drifted into sleep.
OOC: understandable since she was up most of the night tending to Kei...

Glancing back he found that Rein was fast asleep. Closing the book gently he smiled softly before standing up carefully. Cleaning up his and Mijo's mess the teen gently placed the cup and bowl back on the tray before placing it on the table. Sitting carefully back in the spot he'd been in he glanced back before whispering softly, "S-Sweet dreams, Rein."

Rein awoke to her name being called. "Demarein! Mistress Demarein!" It was one of the servants. She glanced around to make sure Kei was out of sight. "Come in bridget!" She called. "Mistress, it's your father." Bridget said after she opened the door. "He's brought your fiance and demands you to join him." Rein paled at the thought. "Not that beastly old man?!" She demanded as she jumped out of bed. "What time is it bridget?" She asked as she ran for her wardrobe. Bridget answered that it was almost 6 and diner would begin soon. "Tell him I ran off again she pleaded as she stripped out of her dresses and pulled on travel wear. " Tell him my door was locked and by the time you opened it I had gone." She tied a scarf around her long hair and pulled on her jacket. "Mistress this solves nothing." Bridget stressed. "You know your father will have you married with or with out you even present." Rein turned around, tears threatening to run from her unseeing eyes. "I'm going to see Hisao for diner." She told her. "He at least feels enough pity to keep it secret." She didn't plan on staying long but Hisao did say she could come eat whenever she wanted. She pulled her backpack off the top shelf. "I'll be fine Bridget just go!" Bridget scurried from the room and shut the door. OOC: I'll have to message mob in a bit i guess.
