[Flashback, Blue Grotto] Resting in the Grotto (Velarian)

[Nisana Curare]

Velarian's applause and compliment brightened Nisana's smile and gave her her heart a not unpleasant flutter. She didn't quite understand the feeling, but she knew she wanted to show him more of her training. Before she could think long on that idea her tender and tired body reminded her that she needed to rest still that night. She wouldn't want to have another embarrassing mishap in front of Velarian, and without some rest she knew she would regret it during tomorrow's training.

She gave a proud nod in response to Velarian's comment about her Mother, and was about to comment, when Velarian then mentioned she should be more careful. Briefly a frown toucher her lips at the thought of Velarian telling her what to do, but it was quickly replaced with a slightly embarrassed flush as he explained his reasoning, "I... I will try to be more careful," she replied softly, but leaving the last bit that she would only do so in front of Velarian. As much as she liked being with the boy she couldn't take it easy in her training because he didn't want to see her hurt.

Following Velarian back towards the entrance she smiled and nodded in agreement to his comment, "Yes, it has been very fun, and I would love to do it again."

No matter how much she might want to stay with Velarian she knew that he was right. It was time to go and rest. Happily taking the boy's hand she let him lead the way back up and out of the Grotto. As they made their way back into the main area of Kalinor one thought rose up in Nisana's mind, Could it be love that she was feeling for Velarian?
