Without any need to hide form them, Khalis was a little disappointed. The two were on a roll with things, but her shyness cut it brief. Looking disheartened, Khalis walked over to Kuhaku, eyes still on where she escaped to. "I'm sorry, it was probably my fault. I only wished to observe." He chuckled before saying with an honest smile "It was quite lovely though. I'm honestly envious of the bond you two have already." As he walked by Kuhaku, he placed his hand on his shoulder, saying "Good luck. I won't bother you anymore today after this." and left. He was certain that his newest friend, or rather enemy, wouldn't let him get off so easily, but even Khalis had a hint of uncertainty. Nothing could be said for sure considering the effect Michelle might've had on him.

Leaving his presence completely, Khalis walked through the halls to where the speech was being given. His mind wandered to those two, and their almost instantaneous friendship. It might deepen into something more. The thought brought a smile to his expression as he gazed skywards, yet his eyes were distant and rather sad. "Must be nice..." he muttered with a sigh. He continued onwards, wondering how the two, and anyone else in the academy, would advance in terms of relations.
