Kinera Laibon:: Dark Orchid
Kineraās ears again burned, and she was sure her skin was going to turn as red as Reeseās. Even if she was a fair deal darker, it was absolutely possible! ā¦ But alas she didnāt. There was an undignified squeak, however.
Silvia went up on the top of Kineraās head, as the girl sank up to her nose into the warm river water, arms and legs pulling up as much as they could to hide herself. Because this, this was too much, too many people while she was too vulnerable, and nowhere approaching āput togetherā. Then Freddie spoke, and that embarrassment and guilt got even more intense. Even more overwhelming.
She did raise up her hand to give a sign that she at least had Silvia, but otherwise? Kinera didnāt speak, didnāt move, and tried hard to justā¦ Vanish into her skin. If she wasnāt, yāknow, she probably wouldāve done what Reese had done. Instead she had to take solace in some river waterā¦
āYayyy.ā
āNoā Wellā Might as well speak upāā
āSheāsā Fuh-ah!! Ackā waterā Shes on my head! Iāve got her. There was thisā¦ Bug-cat-dragon thing, I think it wanted to eat her? Uhā No I wasnāt offering Justice a potion! ā¦ Umā¦ Someone get Reese out from behind the bushā¦?ā
Reeseās reaction wasā¦ Interesting. As strange as it was familiar, why did she hide when she sawā
Oh! Well, when you think about it a bit, Reese hadnāt shown any interest in the princesā Beyond saving themā Soā¦ Huh.
Kinera wasnāt the only one who was a bit different, here. Thatā¦ Was a relief? At least Reese wouldnāt judge her, if it ever came upā? ā¦ Was it Justice? Kinera wouldnāt have been surprised.
FOCUS!! Tiny Silvia! Goodness gracious great balls of FIRE! Why was it so hard to focus?! ā¦ Beyond that too many people had seen her vulnerable. Hm.
