Adley had been staring out the window for a while now, in fact for so long that one of the barmaids had poked her, nearly making her jump out of her skin. With a light chuckle, she told the concerned woman that she was fine, that she just had some things on her mind. A smile was given before the maid went back to serving, giving Adley another chance to watch the light rain outside. It was beautiful in many ways, how the sun was peaking through the clouds [i]just[/i] enough to make the streets shine gently, reflecting a pretty dull blue that masked over the entire area. The wood on the buildings darkened and it gave a cozy feeling to being inside with the fire and hearing the relaxing dots of rain splash again the window pane.

Though it did distract her for a moment or two, her real thoughts and focus were on the nights before. She strangely hadn't seen the elf since that night, so instead of moving on (not like she had much to do but wait the days away anyways) she just kept replying that night over and over in her head. She hadn't remembered the last time she enjoyed herself so much and now, for some reason, everything felt [i]different[/i]. She was nervous about seeing Aphrodite at all and even a tiny part of herself wished she wouldn't show up. Hoped that she was just disappear like other people, so Adley could move on and keep herself in the comfortable bubble she had experienced most of her life - loneliness and depression. Most her wanted to see the elf again though.. and most of her wanted Aphrodite to tell her that she had feelings for Adley, so she could quickly return the feeling.

Too much though, seemed to hinge on what-ifs. What if Aphrodite didn't want to move? What if the elf was afraid of magic? What if she did travel along and found out what Adley [i]really[/i] did? What if she got mad at Adley for lying? What if she didn't want to live that life? Adley had never thought she'd find a connection with someone so quickly and strongly. When she accepted the job of being a wandering Harper, she never once believed in the fact she might find someone.. she always believe she'd be alone, which was perfect. Now though? Her stomach was churning nervously was a flock of butterflies. She pressed the side of her face on the glass and sighed and just went back to one simple thought - she wanted Aphrodite there with her right now.
