At his comment, Krista merely stared at him. Neither impressed or angry in return. If it had been Cian that she just sucked off she would have been more than a little horny. With the boy she had really felt next to nothing. Also she refused to remind him that she cared nothing for the boy. With Cian she should not have had to say that aloud. Krista waited for him to push her away, unable to deal with her at the moment but instead he did the exact opposite. Leaning into his arms, she rested her head against his shoulder for the moment. She started to say that he could wait to go in there, but she did not want to make it worse by appearing to try and save the kid. Give him time to deal with his own thoughts.
Watching him walk away, she stood still for a moment as the door closed. Finally taking off the tie, she left it with the stuffed kitty on the desk.

Opening her eyes as he climbed in she searched his face for any sign of his thoughts.
The first thing she did was reach out for his hand, looking at the ring on his finger. It had been a day since she had last insisted on him showing it to her. A few days of realizing it was not going to fall off and she was fairly relaxed about it. Her smile widened as she played with it for a moment. The litle piece of metal was not much but she liked it. It gave her a sense of calm.
"Is he coming around?"
Moving slightly so she could sift into his lap, her legs straddled his. Her head going to rest on his shoulder. Krista buried her face against his neck. Obvisously relaxed and content.
"Did you hurt him? I should have watched.... I would have liked to see you hurt him...." Krista's voice was not very loud. Though with her lips so close to his ear, she did not need to be. ".... but then your pretty bird thought the water would be fun too.... water won..."
