As Emiri sat next to Jaakuna, taking his hands as she did so, so would simply ask him why he was glad. Jaakuna looked at her smiling. [b]“I know it’s silly, but I’m glad Savayna found someone that makes her happy.”[/b] Jaakuna did sound silly for saying what he just said. [b]“I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but her and Grant have been getting closer. Obviously they’re not at the level of closeness that Nadeline and Wesley are at or you and I, but I see the way that he makes her feel. The only other time she was like that was when her and I were together.”[/b] Jaakuna said smiling. He didn’t know why he was smiling. [b]“I’m just glad she was finally able to move on from what I did — or rather what I didn’t do and didn’t tell her — and find someone who truly makes her feel good about herself, gods know she deserves it.” [/b]Wow, that was a mouthful Jaakuna just said.

When they were outside the Royal Office, Grant just asked what she wanted to talk to him about. Savayna, by now, had her arms behind her, looking down, and right foot sort of moving to the left and right as the toes stayed firmly on the ground. It took her a full minute until she looked up at him, and she stared into his eyes — his beautiful, gold eyes. Then there was the way his jet-black hair flowed down his chiseled face. Oh boy, she was getting red on her face. [b]“You’re really going aren’t you?” [/b]She asked quite nervously. Her arms coming in front of her, one crossed and holding the other. [b]“I just wanted to…just be careful.”[/b] She said eyes darting away from his direct gaze, but she could not hide the way she felt about him nor could she hide the redness of her blush.
