Kenmei felt herself immediately choke up at his words, bringing a hand up to wipe her eyes before any tears were able to escape. "I know..." Once she was completely stripped of her clothing, she pulled her hair across her shoulder, tugging the tie loose at the end and letting her hair fall free. Though as she ran her fingers through it, she looked down at herself, starting to become embarrassed.

She was no longer as skinny and fit as she had been before, when she knew he found her to be attractive. She had gained some weight, in specific places where he particularly like to pick on her and tease. She knew he would say something about how she had let herself go, and she was beginning to feel ashamed and embarrassed to let him see her. So, she grabbed a large, loose fitting robe that would hide her body, quickly pulling it on and tying it into place.

Just as she was tying it, there was a small tap on the other side of the divider, against the paper. Judar had moved to stand right up against it, still watching her shadow as she changed. Kenmei gave a small jump at the sudden tap, turning around to look at the divider, able to see his shadow as well. "W-what?"

Judar gave a small grumble, crossing his arms. "Why are you taking so long to change? You just stood there naked for like five minutes. I'm getting lonely out here." He gave a small smirk, and Kenmei was able to hear it in his voice as he spoke. "Don't you want to come out and cuddle with me?"

"You need to stop that!" Kenmei quickly moved away from the divider, blowing out the candle she had lit. Judar began to laugh, moving over to the edge of the divider so he could peek around it. Though, the instant his face peeked around the edge, he only got a quick glimpse of her before Kenmei brought her hand up and covered his face. "Don't try to peek at me like that!"

She gently pushed him back a bit as she came all the way out from behind the divider, keeping her hand on his face to block his view. Judar gave an irritated grunt, grabbing her hand and pulling it away from his face. "What are you doing that for, why don't you want me to look at you?" Kenmei felt her face begin to burn when he finally was able to look down at her, using her free hand to pull her hair over her shoulders a bit, feeling like it would hide her better.

"I-It's not that, Judar... I'm just embarrassed, alright?" She snatched her hand back from him, timidly hugging herself as she tried to avoid looking at him. Judar rasied an eyebrow, leaning over a bit to try to catch her eyes. "What are you so embarrassed about? It's not like I haven't seen you in a robe before."

Kenmei shook her head, still trying to not to look at him. "It's been two years! No one has seen me like this since then!" Judar stood up straight, giving a sigh as he rubbed his face. "Mei... honestly. It's me. We've been in more embarrassing situations than you standing in front of me in a robe, don't you think?" He reached over and gently took her hair, moving it back behind her shoulders. "Man... your hair has gotten crazy long."

"D-do you like it?" Kenmei finally looked up at him, allowing him to move her hair without any protest. Judar gave a small chuckle at her question, finding it so innocent. "It suits you, yeah." Once he got all of her hair out of the way, he put his hands on her shoulders gently. "You don't have to hide from me. Come on, relax your arms."

He rubbed her arms a bit, noticing her starting to become a bit flustered at the situation. Still, Kenmei gave a small sigh and removed her arms, letting her fall to her side, though she felt awkward with them just sitting there like that. It was silent for a moment, before she finally looked back up at Judar, noticing how quiet he was being while still holding onto her shoulders. "Judar?"

Judar blinked a few times, his eyes having been stuck on her body before moving back up to her face when she called to him. "Sorry. Uh.. You know." He released her arms, standing up straight as he pointed down at her body. "You.. Something seems different." Kenmei looked up at him with a confused expression, noticing his face was a bit pink as he spoke. "Huh?"

"Uuhmm..." Judar scratched his cheek, still looking at her. "I mean, this robe isn't exactly flattering. But!" He quickly caught himself, noticing a glare starting to cross her features at that comment. "But! It- You know, it's just hiding what I think is going on here." He gestured to her body again, only causing Kenmei to put her hands onto her hips, raising an eyebrow at him. Though she was really embarrassed, she didn't like how he was dodging his point. "Will you just spill it?"

He stood there still for a moment before he reached out with both hands, squishing her breasts together a bit and bouncing them a little. "Your tits are way bigger." Kenmei felt her face instantly start to burn as if it were on fire, and she smacked his hands away, turning her body to hid it from him. "J-Judar! Don't do that!"

Judar snickered, scurrying around so that she was facing him again. "Aw come on, let me see them! How'd they get so big!" He tried to reach out again, but Kenmei only smacked his hands away once more. "I'm still breastfeeding Junjie! It's healthiest for him because he has such a weak immune system!" Judar gave a pout as she smacked his hands away again. "That makes them this much bigger! Damn, that's crazy."

He finally stopped his attempts to grope her, standing up straight, causing Kenmei to relax herself as well. Giving a smile, he reached over and ran his fingers through her hair gently. "I see why you don't want me to look at you. You think you've gotten fat, huh?" Kenmei felt her stomach clench a bit, shifting in her spot as she pulled the rob tighter around her. "Well..."

Judar shook his head, waving his hand in the air a bit. "You're not fat! You're barely bigger than what you were when I left. Actually..." He grabbed her hand, gently making her do a turn for him. "I know you worked hard to look the way you did before. But I'm into this." He moved one hand to rest on her hip, while he kept hold of the other, pulling her a bit closer to him.

Kenmei felt her heart begin to race as he pulled her closer, the feeling of their bodies barely touching already making her go crazy. "You can't say that when you've only seen me like this... I'm not skinny and fit anymore, Judar..." She hung her head a bit, embarrassed. "You used to tease me all the time when we first met, when I looked more like this... You must feel the same way."

Judar gave a sigh, having already known she was going to bring that up. "Mei... I just spent two years alone. Do you really think I care about what you look like?" He pulled her a bit closer, his hand moving to rest on her back. "Seriously. Your curves have always been amazing, and now they're even better." His hand slid down, giving her backside a few light pats.

Feeling her stomach flutter violently, she hid her face in his chest. "Why do you like to do that to me?" Judar chuckled, moving both arms to rest around her. "What? Touch your butt?" Kenmei shook her head, moving to wrap her arms around him tightly. "No, why do you like to embarrass me so much." The Magi blinked, looking down at her. "Huh... I haven't really thought of it before. It's fun, I guess."

"Just because it's fun? I don't believe that." She tilted her head to look back up at him, feeling her heart skip a beat at how close her face ended up next to his. Judar gave a small smirk, noticing her reaction. "I like your reactions. Your facial expressions. Like the one you're making right now. Sometimes you just look like your about to pass out."

Kenmei could only stare up at him, the expression on his face and the feeling of their bodies pressed together already making her head spin. Though, no matter how much she was wanting him, she could feel something tugging at the back of her head. It was a strong, nagging feeling and was the only thing that was keeping her anchored down to reality. She could feel herself starting to choke up at the thought of it, and she couldn't continue like this until she spoke with him.

"Judar..." She spoke timidly, shaking her head a bit as she watched his smirk fade at the sound of her voice. "I can't do this. How could I possibly go through with any of this knowing that you're going to leave me again?" She was unable to control the tremble in her voice, her grip loosening on him a bit as she tried to distance herself, but found it impossible to move any further. "How could you do that to me?"

Judar frown at the accusation, moving his hands to rest firmly on her hips. But still, he found himself at a loss for words. What could he really say to her? This exact reason was why he hadn't wanted to meet up with her until he was ready to return to the palace for good. Because he was going to leave her again, no matter how much she screamed, begged or cried for him to stay. Though, the fact that she was trying to guilt him and make him the bad guy was starting to piss him off.

"Are you serious? You're trying to pull that bull shit on me? When you're the first person I even bothered to look for?" He crossed his arms, forcing a gap between them and causing Kenmei to take a step back. "I already knew Hakuryuu wasn't here. He wasn't what I came over here for. What difference does it make that I'm going to leave again? You don't think I'll come back to you?"

Kenmei moved her hands up to tug at her hair, running her fingers through it as a nervous habit. Her eyes darted around the room, looking at everything, anything but him as she tried to control her emotions. "I'm just so scared, Judar... I've been alone for all this time, and now you're suddenly back. And I want everything to be how it was before... But how can I do that?" She finally looked back up at him, her body trembling from anxiety. "How can everything be normal again?"

There was silence between the two of them as Judar stared down at her, watching her tremble and await his answer. Finally, the Magi sighed, reaching his hands out and placing both on either side of her neck gently, one of his thumbs stroking her cheek softly and causing Kenmei's features to soften. "Mei... What is it you want right now? I don't mean in an hour, tomorrow or weeks from now." He moved a bit closer to her as Kenmei placed her hands on his gently. "I mean right now, in this moment."

Kenmei could feel her body beginning to grow hot again at his question, from her face all the way down to her toes. She knew exactly what she wanted, what she had been craving for the whole night. And though she could still feel that nagging feeling at the back of her head, she ignored it, moving herself closer to him until their bodies touched again.

"I... I just..." She fought to get the words out, her head becoming foggy and her chest growing tighter as Judar moved one of his hands to rest behind her head, cupping her neck and causing her head to bend back slightly. He pulled her body closer, leaning in a bit more to where their lips brushed lightly. Judar wanted nothing more than to take her, to hear her moan his name and watch her body tremble beneath him. But still, he waited for her answer, unable to help a slight smirk cross his lips. "You what?" Kenmei moved her hands to rest onto his chest, gripping the white cloth lightly, pulling whatever strength she could forward to be able to speak.

"I just want you to kiss me."
