When Matteus started to freak out over her, her heart lifted
just a bit. But when he hugged her, her hair flared up in pinks
of every color and there was a split second where she just sat
there and listened. She smiled when he finished. "Why... why
would you do that for me Matteus?" She returned his hug, "Why
protect me from my home when you barely have met me...." She was
stuttering a bit. but it was okay, everything was okay. She
wasn't really asking Matteus to have him answer. She believed
him. For some strange reason. But now her face started to turn
pinker and pinker. Suddenly aware of him, and his nakedness..
And he smelled kind of good... well what she could smell. What
was she DOING?! She looked up at him with her blushing face,
"And what happens if the Hotel sends me back there? I.. I
mean... a.. anything could happen." She bit her lip. Why was she
saying this. Did she just want to hear his answer? Probably....

He thought about it for a moment. What if she was taken back.
"Then I will find you. I don't care how long I have to search I
will find you." He felt a kinship to her. Their stories lining
up quite well. He couldn't see someone go through what he went
through and worse. Yet she had. He ran his fingers through her
hair, and sighed. "You don't have to worry about that place if I
have any say so." He needed to get off the subject. This was
bordering too emotional. "So uh...You wanna check out what all
they have here? I bet there are some gardens to check out. I saw
a library earlier."
He leaned back and picked up his drink, finishing the rest of
it. "I'm sorry I know we only just met, but I feel so strongly
about this because I too lived in my own personal world of
torture for many years. I know it sucks and I hate to see
another go through it. And for something as silly as your hair
doesn't match theirs? It makes no sense." He wasn't sure what
she meant by turning it to ink, he couldn't see how something
like that could be a bad thing.

She smiled and nodded. But she was sad he pulled away. "I.. I
think it's great.. I.. I don't find it weird.. j.. just another
beautiful part of you." she blushed brightly. But then frowned a
bit again when he seemed confused about them locking her up.
Then she remembered she hadn't told him everything. And she
wouldn't tell him everything yet. But.. She could shed.. a
little more light on the reasoning...
"Well.. We were a nomadic tribe.. and i couldn't do much because
my hair gave things away. Enemy tribes would see it....I ended
in a disaster one time.. And one time was all they needed to
lock me up...." She looked at her hands. "B.. besides that...
I.. do have some powers... N.. None that can harm.. b.. but
there was a prophecy that they thought had to do with me... and
they didn't seem to want it to come to pass.... But they caused
it to happen anyway..." She shivered. "I hope it NEVER happens
again either... because it can... if black ink gets to me..."

He sat back down. Apparently she wasn't ready to move on to a
different place yet. Instead she was sharing more of her dark
tale. He could understand their worries about her hair luring
enemies but surely there was another way. One that didn't
involve ink. He patted her hand gently unsure of what to say.
She had already shared so much of herself that he should surely
return the favor. But was that something he really wanted to
disclose? With someone who was near a stranger to him?
"Well." He sighed. May as well. "I came from a freak show. For
as long as I can remember I've been a freak. We were made to
perform and be humiliated and even sometimes beaten for the
sheer sport of it. Our manager was the worst. He was a crooked
man who had a dark soul. I fell in love with his own daughter.
The Amazon Woman. She ended her own life over him. It was one of
the hardest times of my life. But I had my revenge. He's no
longer able to make money off of any one again. My fellow
performers and I are free." He looked down at his hand and arm,
smeared with dried blood except where her paint removed it from
his hand.

Chroma looked at him, and just felt so bad for him. But he
wasn't telling her for her pity. So she tried to give him a
small smile instead. "W.. Well.. we're out of those situations
now.." She looked down at his arm and hand and smiled a bit.
"I.. I could clean that for you too.. I mean.. If you want?" She
bit her lip with a small blush. Holding her hand out to his in a
way so that he could lay his hand in it if he wanted.
"I.. It's the least I could do to help you after.. you've helped
me." she smiled a bit and looked up at him. Waiting for his
answer, but hoping he would say yes. She wanted to feel useful
to him as he had been for her. Maybe he thought her weird just
because she wasn't squeamish about blood being on him. But she
was kind of sure where it came from, and if her hunch was right,
then that man deserved every torture Matteus could have thought
up.

He was taken aback when she offered to clean his arm up for
him. "You don't have to. All I did was hugged a pretty lady."
She really would clean someone's blood off his arm? Knowing that
it probably wasn't his own? How was she not worried about him
being a killer? The strange beauty of this girl was intriguing.
The smile that lit up his face touched his eyes as he looked at
her.
"You know that is a wonderful idea though, thank you." He lay
his hand in hers and let her do as she wished. The touch of her
skin against his was foreign. He hadn't loved anyone since her.
And no one ever touched him. So flesh on flesh was not something
he was particularly familiar with anymore. "You know Chroma, you
are quite peculiar, but in the most beautiful of ways. And I
appreciate this, I'm glad to have met you."

Chroma smiled and as soon as he laid his arm in her hand, her
hair started to drip longer. She pulled some over her shoulder,
leaning in really close, and slowly soaked it all away. All
evidence that that horrible man had existed in the first place.
Though it took a little twisting and turning and some careful
examination. When she was done though she finally looked up and
blushed, realizing how close she was to him.
"I.. am beautifully peculiar?" she couldn't help but let out a
small nervous chuckle. "W.. What does that mean?" She was still
so close. And her hair was all yellow and pink again. Though
there were some hints of red in there. She stroked his hand
softly. "You... I believe you were protecting more... from your
fate.. and even if that wasn't the case... I'm going to stick to
that story.." She bit her lip and looked at him with her sunset
eyes. He had smiled, a real smile. One that most others might
find creepy, but she found it heartening. "I.. I like your smile
... a.. as well as your voice." Oh darn! She was doing that
thing! Shut up shut up shut uuuup!

His smile only grew as she asked about his meaning. "Well you
are different from anything or anyone I've ever met. Your hair
is not considered to be the most attractive feature where you
come from, but I think it is quite amazing. And the way you use
it is only for good. That in itself is beautiful. You have
intrigued me Chroma. I would love to learn more about you. I may
not know much now, but what I have found out makes me wish I
knew more."
He hoped that explanation would satisfy her as she cleaned his
hand and arm. Taking such time and care with it. She was so
close to him. It was a struggle not to reach out and touch her
hair again, he rather enjoyed the feel of it. The way it felt
moving between his fingers. He was beginning to like the feel of
her touching his hand, petting it. It brought a smile to his
face, listening to her ramblings about what she liked about him.
So what could he do? The one thing he could think to. He leaned
down and kissed her forehead. "You are sweet Chroma. I very much
hope we have plenty of time here together."

She went ridged when he kissed her forehead. All of her hair
pink except for one strand of red. She then slowly started
blushing and she pulled away just at tad and stuttered, sounding
like crashing waves almost, "A.. Ah! I.. I mean.. I .. think
we'll have pl.. plenty of time together.. w.. what with the fact
that.. I don't want to.. g.. go home.. And.. w.. with what you..
s.. said.. I.. I mean we could learn lots.. a.. about each
other." She blushed even more, realizing she still was holding
on to his hand.. But.. she didn't want to let go.
So she didn't, she looked up at him, her face bright pink, as
her sunset eyes searched his. He though she always used her hair
for good? Maybe she did. But she wasn't going to tell him what
happens when ink got to her. No sirree. Her lips were starting
to feel dry though and she bit them, not licked them because she
thought that might send him the wrong message. She was so
nervous. What was she even thinking!?

Chroma warmed his heart with her stuttering. It was just so
adorable. He leaned back and nodded, trying not to smirk. "Oh
yes, quite right, so much to learn." He leaned over and grabbed
his drink with his free hand taking a drink. Then he met her
eyes. "You know Chroma, perhaps we could take a walk. From what
I understood there are some beautiful gardens here and a lot of
other places."
He finished his drink and put the empty glass on the coffee
table. He liked the feeling of his hand being held by hers, he
gave it a gentle squeeze and smiled. "Why don't you tell me
about yourself while we walk. Do you have hobbies? Talents? I
mean I know you probably haven't had much time to yourself, but
while you were free you never picked up on anything you
particularly enjoy?"
