Watching her reacting in such a way make him wonder if she was on drugs. The shake of her head seemed like a good enough answer to him, of which he had just relaxed his shoulders and considered offering to take her to the hospital.

But then — what was she trying to say? Not it? No? She wants what? Is that a yes? Colonello could not figure what to do or even say in this situation because — well, it would be bad if he were charged for harassing his former instructor, right? Or to look like he did anyway. It would be totally against his morality.

But — she said yes.

…

How should he feel about this now?

“Oh,” was his first response.

A pause. And a clear of his throat.

“…Can I…help you? I mean…if there is anything you need, kora. Stop talking to you, or leave you alone, or… I’ll have to run to the pharmacy real quick if…y’know…” He was not sure what he was trying to get at. He had never been blatant in this area, especially when it came to her, so it came out very awkward for him.

 —— ;;   She was pretty sure at this point she was
giving him mixed signals, or at least confusing him
quite a bit. What with her not able to say no without
a reaction. She was a mix of emotions herself,
embarrassment, frustration, and a little bit of lust. A
emotion she didn’t want this man to know she was feeling.
Though it might already be too late, her pride was quite
stubborn on the matter though.

However the next words that came out of his mouth
seemed to sting a little. Did she really seem like she
wanted him gone? To just leave her alone? If she did
it had surely been at the beginning, now – she just was
trying to explain it to him without using the word. So he
would understand as without it – he’d think she was crazy.

     ” You don’t need to leave.. or stop talking to me. Just
— “

A pause to figure out how to word it.
 
    "  Watch what you say – no I am not on drugs nor
is this a womanly monthly thing – relax.”.

She continued then attempted to lift herself up onto her
feet, only getting a bit of the way up before her legs
decided they weren’t ready yet. Shit.

     “ You can help. Just – help me up and take me home.
I– I’ll explain more of this where no one else can hear me
and take advantage of it”.

She finished, luckily enough she was maybe a block from
her own place, and had been on her way back when he
stopped her and asked for money. Better then entering
through her window she supposed.</sub>
