*She bit her lip.*
"Ya'll weren't exactly being very subtle," *she said. Though her words sounded harsh, her tone was very gentle.*
"It's okay. I'm not angry at you."

*He was still blushing, though one hand was gripping the doorframe so hard that his knuckles had gone white*
"I don't know...I mean it was..."
*He heaved a sigh*
"I'm sorry."

*She shook her head with a sigh.*
"It's not your fault," *she said slowly.*

*He laughed a bit hollowly*
"Not? What's that saying I've heard...it takes two to tango?"

"True."
*She shrugged.*
"Still. I don't blame you..."

*He let go of the doorway, though that damn blush remained*
"I shouldn't have...I'm not...I thought I wasn't...no, I'm not."
*He stood back, to give Renn space to come inside*
"Here, you don't have to stand out there."

"Thanks."
*She stepped inside and took off her scarf. Draping it over her arm automatically, she glanced around the room awkwardly before speaking.*
"It's really okay. I understand. I've been there."

*He closed the door, standing there in the room with her awkwardly*
"It's...not. He's with you, that's wrong, and I don't want to ruin what you have, and I'm all mixed up in my head."
*He heaved a sigh*
"I shouldn't want--"
*He stopped talking, realizing how much he'd said*

*She sighed.*
You got caught up in the moment. I know what that's like. Nothing got ruined, Rudolf."
It came damn close, and I'm still not sure, but...
*She pushed the thought from her mind. No need to dwell on mights and maybes. She tried to consentrate on convincing Rudolf that it wasn't the end of the world.*

"Not exactly the sort of reconciliation I'd imagined." He said dryly.
He sat down on the couch, motioning for Renn to sit, too. He was quiet for a moment*
"I shouldn't want that. Not from him."

*She sat and gave him a thoughtful look.*
"Because he's with me or because he's... a him?"

*He didn't quite meet Renn's eye*
"Both."

"Yeah..."
*She shifted uncomfortably.*
"There's nothing wrong with, you know, the second thing."

"Why do I feel so rotten, then?"
*His voice having such a lost sound to it gave him pause.*

*She put a comforting arm around his shoulder, hating how upset he sounded.*
"A number of reasons, I bet. But that's okay."
