"Would you just CALM down?" he said, still holding her arm with one hand. Settling his other on her shoulder, he gave them a small squeeze. "Just... calm down, okay?" he repeated, pretty softly for Laharl.

"We'll t-talk about this later, or something, alright?" he suggested, sounding a little awkward for a moment as the thought of the subject they'd need to talk about came to mind. He shoved it from his thoughts quickly. Her kissing him could wait.

Releasing her pretty quickly, he passed her by several steps, starting in the direction they'd been heading; he paused, however. "Come on," Laharl said, glancing to her over his shoulder then holding a hand out to her, looking away again.
