[i]By the time the end of the day arrived, Reia felt fairly tired. She made her way slowly to meet Welkins, walking down the stairs of the institute to the main foyer, where Wendy sat at the front desk like usual. Reia could tell Wendy had said something to Welkins, but he didn't respond to her. Once she was in front of him though, he asked [color=00a651]"Are you ready to go?"[/color] He was smiling like he had just had the best day of his life, and it was pretty cute how excited he was for this date. 

[color=f6989d]"I'm ready,"[/color] she said, looking at him gently. She knew they had to stop at his house first though, to pick something up. She was curious what it could be, and began walking in the direction of his house. She could feel eyes from others on her, probably wondering what she was doing with Welkins. She kept her eyes on the ground for most of the way to his house, and waited once he went inside to grab whatever it was he needed. [/i]
