Yuki gave a satisfied, if not tired, smile. "Perhaps I just haven't figured that out myself as of yet. Perhaps you just..." He paused to consider his words, and failing to find one that he liked, "intruige me..."

Lenore actually picked up her head to look at Yuki. "Intrigue..." She thought about the word for a minute, then very quietly started to chuckle. Slowly, the chuckle became stronger, and she pushed her face into her hands. One tiny tear fell from her hands as she bent forward. Perhaps the laugh was a tiny bit hysterical, considering the day she'd had already, but most of it's fuel seemed to be derived from true amusement. And still, she laughed on.

Yuki remained in his position by her side just smiling. He watched her laugh, but didn't try to interupt or join in. He just sat there waiting it out...

Finally, Lenore dropped back to relax against the back of the seat, but didn't so much move her hands away from her face, as shifted them so she could be heard. She made sure to keep at least one hand between her eyes and Yuki at all times. "I, Intrigue YOU? I, who wears nothing to keep others from seeing my eyes? I intrigue you, when all those I know claim there is no real mystery about me? How do you figure?" she said, still chuckling. "It's all very simple, so long as you don't try to over-think it. Of the two of us, you're miles more confusing than I am. So what about all ths fascinates you?" She finally dropped her hand from her face, and turned to look at Yuki, a question in her eyes, yes, but sharing space with another emotion, almost a fear, or a worry, or some kind of desperation.

"And that is precisely why," Yuki said, seeming to stare into her eyes from behind his dark mirrors of glasses. He knew it was a rather cryptic answer, but if the whole of it was out there, what mystery would remain?

Lenore looked at Yuki, trying to figure out just exactly what he meant. "I intrigue you becausethere is no mystery to me?" She asked, not really understanding. With everything that had happened that night, she supposed that she wasn't grasping some important piece of information that was necssary in order to comprehend what he was saying.

Yuki smiled wide. "No," he said simply. Sensing her tiredness, and knowing his own, he stood and kissed a small peck on Lenore's forehead. "Goodnight Lenore, and, happy birthday," he said, straightening again...

lenore was taken quite aback by the kiss, and stared at Yuki for a moment, before getting up to see him off. "Are you okay to travel?" She asked, not wanting to kick him out if he wasn't up to it. As she passed the table she picked up the little ice-flower in her hand, carrying it with her.

Yuki stood in the doorway and turned to face her. "I'll be fine. I've rested enough to walk, and I can get back to my house to get some sleep tonight." He paused for second, searching for something... "You and Pishka will be fine?" he asked, making sure it was ok for him to leave...

Lenore turned her head down to look at the flower in her hands. She ran through the things in her mind that had branded themselves as morbid mosaics of scents, sights and sounds over the course of the night. then, as though an obscuring fog rolling in, she was almost physically cooled and soothed by the momory of skating over dips and turns of ice, of soaring through the air with a comfortingly strong pair of arms keeping her safe. She reconsidered yuki's question in a different context, before shaking herself mentally, and her head ever so slightly. Then, though it might have easily been mistaken as a sad nod, especially in the dark, there was a hint of decisiveness in it that spoke of confidence.

Yuki watched her mole something over in her mind. He would have loved to know what that was, but it wasn't the time to ask. And so, he allowed himself to touch her hand for one brief second, holding it over the flower, and then pulled it back and started walking away...

lenore leaned against the doorpost as Yuki walked away. She thought about all the times she watched the retreating back and shoulders of other people. Still, somehow, this time, it didn't feel so bad. Somewhere back in the house, Pishka meowed, and Lenore retreated back into the building, closing the door, and shutting off any light inside the rest of the house from the devouring essence of the night.
