What did he just say? A very faint, noticeable blush crossed her cheeks rather unwillingly. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, her eyes darting away from Jaakuna. For once she actually looked embarrassed, crossing her arms somewhat defensively. If it wasn't for Kyli and Aloa's insistence, she really would have never believed [i]this[/i] was the so called 'chosen one'. She cleared her throat, shaking her head at him. "[color=deepskyblue]That's not how that works,[/color]" She told him stubbornly. "[color=deepskyblue]It isn't as if she's watching us now. Heaven knows I would have anticipated your...personality a lot better if she had known exactly how you would be.[/color]"

Nadeline shouldn't have been surprised at Wesley's response. Well, she was, but it was mostly the fact that for the first time in a long time, they were the voice of reason. She truly was the unreasonable one this time, wasn't she? She looked between both Wesley and Lorenzo, neither one of them budging on the subject. Still, there wasn't any way she could stand staying behind. Mustering up any dignity she had, she would cross her arms once again, lifting her chin slightly. There was no getting out of this one. But... "[color=coral]We'll just have to see then, won't we,[/color]" She pouted, unable to hide her dissatisfaction. "[color=coral]I'll know for sure in a few weeks' time, I suppose.[/color]"

Lorenzo looked at her, suspicious. She sure bowed down rather quickly--he half expected her to start whining. "[color=darkorange]Weeks? Isn't there a way to know sooner?[/color]" He asked.

She gave him a look. "[color=coral]You're going to have to trust me on this one,[/color]" She said bluntly.

The realization hit him a little later than it should have, and he let out a nervous laugh. "[color=darkorange]Ah...I get it.[/color]"

"[color=coral]You're disappointed, aren't you?[/color]" She asked him, her voice low.

"[color=darkorange]I never imagined you and Wesley would go and do the same thing me and Karolina did,[/color]" He admitted, scratching his head. "[color=darkorange]I'll be the first to admit that I was...pretty pushy about it. Good to know you've gone through such lengths to secure Dalmasca's future.[/color]" His last sentence came off annoyed as he would glare at Wesley.

"[color=coral]Such lengths?[/color]"

"[color=darkorange]I didn't think he had it in him.[/color]"

[i][color=coral]Well, he certainly had it in me,[/color][/i] She dared not speak the words she thought, eyeing Wesley. She would get her revenge on the both of them. "[color=coral]I assure you, he was very loving. His touch was very gentle, though towards the end he got much more aggressive...I found myself enjoying it quite a bit.[/color]" She told her father cheerfully. 

"[color=darkorange]AHHHHHHHHHH! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT![/color]" Lorenzo yelled, his hands over his ears as he would jog in place.  "[color=darkorange]Why would you tell me that?![/color]"

Keiran hummed cheerfully as he was hand-in-hand with his new best friend. Grant was less than enthused, though he went along with it. As Keiran came to a halt, he would suddenly yank Grant back. He certainly was enjoying himself, wasn't he? Keiran let out a whistle, his hand over his eyes as if searching the horizon. "[color=gray]There she goes! A wild Savayna, out and about! Aren't you glad she came?[/color]" He asked as he pinched Grant's cheeks, trying to pull his mouth into a smile. "[color=gray]See? You're smiling and everything! No need to be so gloomy anymore, right?[/color]"

[i][color=darkorchid]Why me?[/color][/i] He gave Keiran an irritated huff as Keiran continued to manipulate his expression.

"[color=gray]If you want me to stop, just say so! Oh wait, you can't![/color]" Keiran cackled, clearly pleased.
