[i]Iso shrugged and laughed.[/i]
"I'm just teasing you, cyar'ika. He didn't do anything like that."

Cannon blushes at being called Iso's mate. "Thanks. Now, I really need to find her and apologize for being a di'kut, did you see where sue went?" He gazing around the party, looking for her.
-
[i]She points at Charlie and Iso talking.[/i] "Over there."
-
"Thanks, wish me luck." He walks towards them.
-
[i]They're too focused talking to notice you.[/i]
-
Cannon walks up to them, stopping nearby and sitting down to wait for a polite moment to step in and apologize.
-
[b]Iso:[/b] "...you know?" [b]Charlie:[/b] "You're asking the wrong person for relationship advice. I hardly understand my own emotions. Still, I suggest you say what you mean and tell the truth."
-
Cannon decides to check his datapad, attempting to not eavesdrop on the conversation.
-
[i]They eventually end the conversation.[/i]
-
Cannon rises and walks towards Iso, stepping around so she sees him approaching.
-
[i]Iso looks up at Cannon and then her eyes dart to the ground. She seems nervous as she doesn't look up. Charlie waves.[/i] [b]Charlie:[/b] "Hello, Mr. Cannon."
-
Cannon nods politely at him. "Su cuy, Charlie. I never got to thank you for saving us, so thanks for that."
-
[i]Charlie bows slightly.[/i] "No problem, Mr. Cannon. I wanted to help." [i]Iso continues to stare at the ground in silence.[/i]
-
"Regardless, you saved my life. I owe you. Perhaps I could buy you a drink some time?" Cannon glances at Iso.
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "That would be great!" [i]Iso doesn't look up.[/i]
-
Cannon smiles. "We'll do that sone time. Um, could I speak to Isorropia alone for a second?"
-
[b]Charlie:[/b] "Sure." [i]He walks away. Iso doesn't look up, but mumbles something.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "H-Hi."
-
"Hi..." Cannon nervously wrings his hands together. "I... Um, I came over to apologize. I was being an idiot, and I embarrassed you. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for being so dense and for not showing my emotions very well." He trails off, looking down at the floor.
-
[i]Iso looks at Cannon with a smile and starts to nervously laugh.[/i] "I don't care about that stuff, Cannon! I-It's that...I kissed you and...you know...stuff when I was Pan. That was when I was corrupt and...I just...I don't know if those feelings were really me..."
-
Cannon freezes for a second, his mouth opening then closing and opening again as he seems to be at a loss for words. "O-oh." He mutters, his voice shaking.
-
[i]Iso hugs Cannon with tears in her eyes.[/i] "I'm sorry, Cannon. We can still be friends while I work this out. I just...need time to think."
-
Cannon dosent move. "Y-yeah. Sure." His gaze seems slightly unfocused.
-
"Cannon? It's not your fault, okay? I want you to know that. We'll probably be making Arty throw up from us flirting within the week!"
-
He forces a small smile. "Yeah... You're right. Sorry." You can practically feel the sadness pouring off him despite his painfully fake smile.
-
[i]Iso kisses Cannon on the cheek.[/i] "I do like you, cyar'ika."
-
He takes a deep breath. "I... I like you too. A lot. I hope you're able to sort it out."
