It wasn’t anything she wasn’t sharing with everyone already, so Halai didn’t hesitate to speak, though she seemed to take her time to find to her words. “Because though she was taken against her will, Kristina seems to be there now of her own volition. Which makes no sense because I’m missing key information. But more than that, Kristina and I have a complicated history. We share a father, but I was conceived on Tyrellia while my father’s wife and children were elsewhere. It was, in Human terms, an affair. Kristina and I are slowly building a relationship that our parents made nearly impossible but as adults we get to choose how it is shaped. Most of the time, anyway. My step-mother does not make it easy, ever.”

Akem moved his minute massaging from one of her hands to the other. “I can see why it might make you feel that way. The unknowns are never easy to contend with before finally being made known.”
Even though the subject matter was difficult, there was a tangible shift in her energy he’d be able to feel and if he paid any attention to it, he’d realize it was not just her overall state relaxing, but a distinct and almost separate source that had its own imprint that was clearly connected to Halai. At the moment it was glowing.
Akem could sense it, but kept it to himself, seeing how it all panned out. What he sensed was unlike that which he had experienced from someone like this before, so it kept him almost entranced.
He then took both of his hands and rubbed his palms up her arms as he indicated to grip the chair’s arms lightly. “Am I too assume those very same unknowns are keeping you worried and somehow excited?” he asked curiously, his eyes meeting her every now and then. He allowed his mental ease to trickle into his hands’ ministrations.

Halai was utterly open and it was clear in her gaze that she was receptive to his energy, but probably more aware of it than most others ever were. “Yes. My last visit to Tyrellia was very special and I learned so much about myself then. The people there who saw to that are ones I’m connected to deeply, even more so than all Tyrellians are connected to each other and the planet. But because I fear that some of the bad things that happened to me are a result of those same people, I’m… conflicted. And I don’t know what I will do if that is indeed the reality.”

Akem nodded and moved behind her in the chair, his hands working the sides of her shoulders up to the base of her neck. He worked them slowly, but firmly. “You also mentioned tired? Something tells me you’ve been stressing out without actually finding release from your frustrations or feelings.” He paused and brought his head to her level, catching her eyes from her left side a mere few inches away from her. “You do know that resting and relaxing helps?” he said with a smirk, knowing she likely knew that well. Being so close to her, and not having quite thought about it, caused a stirring within him.
“Yes, I do,” she said, mirroring the smirk. “It’s not that simple, and you know it. If it was just one thing, then I could manage better. But it’s a series of things all tumbled together one after another. It’s hard to catch your breath sometimes.” That and in order to relax and take the time, she had to be able to step outside of the work issues and everything surrounding Tyrellia and Kristina. When she even tried to do that, the deep loneliness set in. Her home was far too quiet these days.
He brought himself back up and continued his ministrations on her shoulders. “But we also have to let go of that stress during our relaxing times,” he said, emphasizing with his hands in a slow yet firm way upon her feminine muscles.

She inhaled deeply, feeling her muscles tense under his fingers and then Halai forced the air out, causing her deflate. A couple more deep breaths like that (eyes closed) and she had managed to relax a bit more. There were tight spots in the base of her neck that were easy to find and though they caused pain when he hit upon one, she tired to focus on the warmth of his hands and the energy it created on her skin. “I wish I could take you everywhere with me,” Cosgrove said, the words just slipping out unbidden.
