Are it his words, that fluster her, or is it the mischievous expression upon his features? It flatters her to – again – hear his philosophy on how this all is a ‘greater purpose’. Because from her point of view, meeting her isn’t all that special. Meeting him, well that is an entire different story. Kylin already likes him. Likes how he makes her feel, special. Kharon, Ivar, and now Klaudius too, made her feel special too, but a different kind of special. Nonetheless, that does not make Kylin like this golden and pale blue male any less. “Do you really think so?” she asks, beaming, as she very much likes the idea.
A particular cold gust of wind has her pressing closer against his side. Kylin, too, is particularly fond of close proximity. She always felt better with someone right at her side, even when winter’s cold couldn’t be used as an excuse. For now, it would do, because what other good explanation would she be able to give for pressing her side against that of a stranger? She even didn’t know his name yet.
“Oh..” is the soft sound that leaves her lips before she glances away, flustered that she had misunderstood what he had been really asking. It was an easier way to answer his question, because there is only one way Kylin can describe what it feels like. “It feels like coming home.. You know.. The water has always..” a brief pause, her hazel eye searching his as she searches for words. “.. well, you know.. called me. As if it’s the place I truly belong, both while walking and swimming.” Her fins tremble ever so slightly at her sides, as if to show they agree with her words. If the water only wasn’t too cold to swim.
