[center][h3][color=mediumpurple]Mila[/color][/h3] [@Deos Morran][/center] As Mila walked, her thoughts were scattered as she tried to come up with some sort of explanation for the strange... connection she had with those strangers. Sure, she knew their names due to this connection but she didn't really [b]know[/b] them. Not truly. So, you could probably understand her desire to get as realistically far away as possible. Which really made her out-of-the-blue decision to give one of these strangers a free ride. To be honest, she didn't really figure anyone would take her up on it. From what she could gather, she was a bit of a stand-out person compared to them all. They seemed to be more... prepared for combat with weapons or at least an aura of control. Most of them, at least. And yet here she is. A dancer, no matter how good. A bit odd, indeed. Speaking of which... She resisted the urge to confront Ariah for his... thoughts pertaining to her. More specifically, her rear end. She nearly stopped walking to perhaps yell or at least tease him about it. But, she held herself back and continued on as if she was none the wiser. After all... could she [b]really[/b] blame him? Her lips quirked up into a small smirk at her thoughts before she felt his presence beside her. Glancing at him with a raised eyebrow and an expression of 'What?', she didn't have to wait long for him to speak. At his thanks and exaggerations at being left behind if it weren't for her, she couldn't stop the small laugh from escaping as she turned to look forward once more. [color=mediumpurple]"Oh, darlin'... no need to exaggerate. I am quite positive that you could'a gotten a ride from one of the others, surely. BUT, I will accept your thanks."[/color] She let her statement barely sink in for even a moment before speaking once more, unable to stop herself. [color=mediumpurple]"Also, you might want to be careful with your thoughts. You never know who may be listening at that moment. Although,"[/color] Her eyes dragged themselves to his and she couldn't stop the sultry and teasing tone she took on. [color=mediumpurple]"I am well aware of my fantastic rear end, actually. But, for your sake... I'll pretend I didn't hear you, hmm?"[/color] Giving a wink, she picked up her speed a little as she passed a familiar bush of flowers. They were close to the beach where their ride would be waiting.
