[i]After a while, Welkins arrived and spoke to Reia gently. [color=00a651]"Sorry that took so long. I had to spend a bit of time with my father before I could leave. You ready to go?"[/color] He held his arm out to her, and she looked at it curiously. She wasn't sure whether it would be the best idea to take his arm. She usually associated that with dating. She smiled up at him and took his arm either way, not wanting to be rude at the gesture. [color=f6989d]"That's alright. I am definitely ready to go!"[/color] she said softly. She could feel the warmth of his arm beneath her fingers despite his uniform. [color=f6989d]"Where are we going first?"[/color] she asked, her eyes on his face since she was holing onto him, trusting he would lead her. She stayed close to his side, her shoes pressing silently against the ground. When she finally looked away from his face and to her surroundings, she blushed, realizing she was staring for much longer than was polite. [/i]
