Closed A Twinkle in Their Eyes (Ardal)

[Kanri]

Kanri was always a bit stubborn about people contradicting or disagreeing with her but Ardal had a slew of very valid points. They were the Words that Needed to be Listened to. It was interestig to consider doing something spectacular right here at home, locked in the caste system and not an Endal. But it was true! There was so much to be done right here at home. She had never even though about it...

After a little while, Ardal stood and got ready to go. Despite the fact that he assured her he could wait, she quickly drank the rest of her tea. It reminded of when she was young how she would try to compete with the boys to finish drinks quickly. But, she never won. They had this way of locking their throats open or something like that and she could not do it. After finishing, she and Ardal started back to their respective homes. Kanri let him escort her to her standard, little house in the Darniva Commonrooms.

"So, we'll see moreSince we won't have time this season to actually do a thread for each, we should agree to see each other two other times this winter at least. We can work it out in pm of each other, right?" Kanri asked, smiling. She knew she would not be able to see him a lot, especially with how busy she was with her work. She did not know if she could fit in everything she wanted to do, because now she wanted to try out more story telling and go out more. Or least, she would when Spring came. Maybe, she would buy a bow for herself so she could do more archery. Possibilities seemed to just spread out before her! Like a sea of inspiration!

"Thank you so much for today! It was really a pleassure! We need to do things like this again!" Kanri reiterated. With that, she waved goodbye and went inside.

Besides, her clothes were still pretty damp...

[Ardal]

He started to walk her home. He was not sure what to do with his hands. He had seen other couples holding hands or an arm over the girls shoulder. He didn’t want to overstep any possible boundaries so he just shoved them in his pockets. They walked in near silence but he didn’t mind.

As they approached her door they said their goodbyes “I’d love to see you again, too” she waved goodbye and he gave a shy smile and a small wave as she retreated into her home.

He turned to make his way back to his own place. He had a spring in his step and the butterflies in his stomach still wouldn’t calm down. He was excited to have made a connection like he did. He had always hated how shy he was and the loneliness this condition would bring with it. He was making a big step in his mind.

No matter how cold this winter would be thinking of her could make it a warmer one…

A sweet thread beginning a potential relationship - here's hoping Ardal doesn't get too hurt. I gave you both Architecture for the snowman, and Ardal, I gave you seduction for asking her on a date. Kanri, when writing fighting, please be careful not to control the reactions of the PC you're writing with. PM me if you have any questions or concerns.
