âDonât worry about it. One of the issues of bathing in the middle of nowhere is the occasional onlooker. Was glad it was someone I like for once.â Sheâd take note of his expression. Turning around, it wouldnât be a bad idea to get dressed. Anything to make catching up just a tad bit easier. âI have my stuff right around here, follow me.â
It wasnât far at all. A short walk. Her green cloak matched the green foliage and covered everything nicely. Leola covered herself with it, taking a seat by one of the larger trees. âHowâs life treated you lately, anyway?â Â
âA-Ah, truth be told, I was expecting a thorough scolding, familiar or not, I imagined that youâd be far more surprised than what you are when I walked it! Heh, with the way I worded that, it sounds like I wanted to be scolded! I can assure you, thatâs not the case!â
The lad answered her in response. He wasnât going to lie--His cheeks were flushed with a somewhat noticeable crimson hue. Youâd have to really, really observe his face to notice that.Â
He eagerly followed Leolaâs lead, and took a seat right next to her, the sound of grass giving way to his body crunched underneath him.
âIâd like to say... itâs been sort of hectic still? My comrades pleaded that I take a break, lest I run myself ragged. Iâm sure youâre familiar with the notion of resting so that youâre at peak energy later? But uh! I see that you havenât changed in the slightest! You still have this... calming aura? That would make sense right?â
He gave her a small smile, before closing his eyes and rolling his head. He felt a little stiff after all!
