Here she stood, a deliberate deviation from the realm of textbooks, no regrets in her decision. The wind, a gentle caress, wove through the labyrinth of her long, thick, curly hair. The night air bore a crispness that embraced Thalia, offering solace within its stillness. The fragrance of blooming flowers lingered, contributing a delicate note to the nocturnal symphony.
She stared at Renlin, with all the world’s curiosity in her eyes and a hint of amusement in it too. Renlin always managed to amuse her, even when at times she would find herself annoyed or more like confused with his antics, she never once found him unamusing and that was a good thing. Being around Renlin was like taking a break from the world, it was relaxing in a very hyper way which Thalia liked. That was the reason she had agreed to come outside at this time, because it was Renlin and also because she was getting tired of studying and researching, she needed a break
“You just can’t stay away from me, huh?" Renlin had said, a smirk tugging the corners of his lips and amusement visible in his eyes.
Thalia had responded to him, like she always did, saying, “So isn’t it you, who can’t stay away from me?” her voice was teasing, Renlin’s own was too but with a hint of something else at least with his next response. What was his next response you might be wondering? Well, it was You’re right, I can’t and that had sent subtle flutters through Thalia’s stomach—a sensation she attempted to downplay, after all he was Inessa’s brother and that is all he should be.
When Renlin had tried to hand her a helmet so she could ride on his motorcycle with him, Thalia had swiftly turned that down. No, there was no way she was going to ride on a motorcycle. Renlin had responded to her rejection with a raised brow, is there something else you’d rather ride?
Curse, curse, curse her dirty mind.
At that question, Thalia had thought some very differently from what he had probably intended for it to sound like. Her mind had went to memories that were not quite unpleasant… God what was she saying. She blinked turning around, he was right- there was no other surrounding mode of transportation, well of course except for their, “Legs. Renlin , we are humans, we have legs.” She told him as she leaned sightly close to him. “It’s not that far is it?” And even if it was, they could still probably manage- Renlin did look like an athlete and Thalia was used to walking long miles , especially when she was… out… exploring.
As she continued to reject the “invitation” to riding the motorcycle, she had asked Renlin where exactly theh were going to. His response had made her arc a brow, in addition to a small smile that tugged the corners of her lips. So you either have absolutely no idea where we are going or I am assuming its a secret?" And for some reason both excited her, she really need a break from everything.
