Like a flower waiting to bloom.
Never had she expected him to walk into her line of fire and she’s only barely able to redirect her legs to not hit him square in the chest. Normally she would’ve gasped and apologized, but now not so much. And that Ivar is actually joining her enthusiastic burst, only makes her more exited. Secretly making Kylin like him more too.
His words are all the encouraging she needs. Lavender ears pin forward as she comes to a halt, her sides moving with each breath she takes. For a moment her hazel eyes meet brown ones, but only for a moment. A quick glance up in the sky, and then around them, is all she needs to determine where they were, and which way the would have to go. ”This way” she tells him, though Kylin doesn’t actually turn and start moving until she playfully nips at his shoulder.
That’s her clue to start their race. Why would she walk slowly towards the beach if racing would get her there faster? That also meant faster at the place Ivar would show her. ”Think you can keep up?” she calls across her shoulder, teasing the young man into following her.
Kylin doesn’t go full out, not like she would’ve with Kharon. She kept in mind that Ivar didn’t know the jungle, not their island, and even in her excitement she does realise that if he would hurt himself, their trip maybe would be over before they could actually leave Ischia.
Not much later they arrive the edge of the jungle, perfect sandy beach stretching out in front of them and leading to the sea. On bright days you would be able to see the mainland from where they stood, but with the sun dipping closer and closer towards the horizon, all they could see was the sea.
”Where do we go now?” she asks him, turning towards Ivar smiling widely as her hazel eyes twinkle in delight. Everything about her would show her enthusiasm. The look in her eyes, her pinned ears, the way she held her tail up in the air and the movements of her body. Oh, Kylin was just so eager to see the most beautiful part of Beqanna, no longer caring if this was the old or new one.
