For now, he's just...staring down at her like they were that day, except she's at free reign to do anything she wants to him. Yet...he finds it surprising that she's not struggling back against him. It's something that makes him ease up a bit, feeling his grip on her loosening a bit.

And hearing that the girl hasn't loved either, he clicks his tongue. Yeah, he figured that the answer was something like that, so he just lets out a little sigh.]

Hey, you tell me it's a strange interest? Haven't you ever been around people much? [It's a light tease, but he's still asking a question he'll probably never get the answers to.] ...nah, you probably didn't. You don't seem like the type of person to actually be interested in other people.

[But still, he's not moving from this position they're in at all. He wants to...keep her there, for a while.]

...tell me, though. If you were to throw your nun ways away...would you be able to love someone right now? [Sure, it's out there, but...] ...would you ever be able to open up to someone completely, to let them see...who you really are?
