She only looked at him in response, without a single visual cue to help him out simply because she wouldn't get the answer she wanted if there was a hint to be found.
Whether Roland understood or not wasn't really her concern, judging but her grin she was happy with the result, and that was probably all that counted. "Good, that was the answer that I hoped for." Because for all that seemed to linger between those friends, good, bad, simple and not, certain things just couldn't be undone. They just had to be that way, including Roland's status, and the probably constant back and forth between he and Cuthbert.
"Alright, last one!" And yet for the first time Nariko hesitated. It wasn't an overly pronounced fact, but as she had finally returned to her more bubbly, relaxed self even a second or two of extended silence was odd. She half-filled it with her touch lingering over one of his arms (bless men and their arms, really and truly) the other still around him as she rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Did you consider not going through with it yesterday? I told you that you didn't have to." But he had only kissed her and that wasn't an answer, it was just the one thing left to utterly confuse her at the time.
