[i]Reia's face turned from pale blueish, to deep pink when Welkins mentioned that the instructor was talking about lucking out with Welkins, and not lucking out by winning her fight against Isara. She felt stupid and embarrassed, and sighed again. [color=f6989d]"I think you should talk to her, and at least find out what the source of her issue is. I'm not going to let her bully me,"[/color] she said seriously, her expression neutral. Welkins gave her a tip about trying to shut Isara up, but that felt childish and Reia didn't want to act like that. He reached out, grabbing her hands, she figured to try and make her feel safe. He then mentioned his excitement about the date. Reia hoped that Isara didn't hear him say they'd be going out. That's the last thing she needed. [color=f6989d]"Where will we be going?"[/color] she asked, unable to keep her curiosity at bay. In a way, she didn't want him to spoil the surprise. She hoped it would be something amazing. She smiled softly and looked up at him after looking at their hands. She still felt a little hesitant, but was willing to give things a try. Hopefully everything would be okay. She did think things happened for a reason, after all.[/i]
