Lim just nodded. “Yeah, our day was pretty void of classes today too. Just had the one archery class this afternoon.” It didn’t click right away that he was inviting her, until he mentioned it as he was already making his way out the door. Her heart, for just a minute, fluttered. Go back to the ocean, and with one who actually understood her? Gods that would be a dream come true. But then Wric’s dumb face came glaring back into her mind and her stomach knotted. “Thank you for the invite, Kai.” She started, her tone a bit sadder than she would have liked. “But, maybe next time. My sidekick and I kinda got into a bit of a scrap and I wanna make sure he gets back to the dorm safe. He’s a bit of an oaf.” She chuckled, but as much as it was an insult, she said the last statement with a bit of warmth in her voice. So, instead she waved to him, happy to have made a new friend at the very least, especially one that she could confide in with her woes as a sea creature on land. Spurred on by the grumblings of her stomach, Lim instead made her way to the cafeteria. There was no way the nymph was going to wait it out inside the room without at least something to eat.<br/><br/>——————————————————<br/><br/>Juniper couldn’t believe it. Wric was taken with her. It was as plain as the antlers on his head the interest he was showing in her, and her heart almost couldn’t take it. She didn’t even bother answering his question about her health, waving it off with a shake of her head and a shrug. When he offered the water to her, she happily took a sip, but since he was the one controlling the tip of the glass, it didn’t all quite get down her throat, some of it splashing back out over her chin and down to her chest. She laughed in embarrassment as she tried to wipe away at her face with the back of her hand, “oh my goodness, excuse me. I’m not usually this messy...well, not with my food at least.” She bit her bottom lip and smiled bashfully at him, but with her cheeks reddening as his face moved closer to her own. This was actually happening. He’s right there. Just take it Juniper. Take the leap! And without hesitation, she closed the space between their lips and crashed into a kiss upon him. Her body seemed to light with excitement as she inhaled. The thrill of being seen by him, but more, being kissed by him. Yes. She’s the one meant for him. Not that stupid wretched nymph.
