Floating Islands

Ryu looked down at Ailsa for a moment, his gaze bouncing between her crimson eyes as though he was looking and searching for something.

The longer he remained silent, the more flustered Ailsa seemed to become. She had no idea where to put her hands or where she should be looking, even her heart seemed like it might beat out of her chest any moment now.

Ryu knew there were a lot of sides to Ailsa. There was the mischievous big sister side, there was the overly sensitive sexual side, there was the arrogant and proud side, and there was finally a hidden stubborn side that she didn't show often but Ryu had always known was there.
