Solin looked at with no words for a while. The silence was getting uncomfortable and I just wanted to walk away while she kept thinking whatever she was thinking but for so reason, I couldn’t just turn around.
Maybe it was because that gaze she had in her eyes as she stared at . Eyes that seed to be a fan of whatever I was doing.
She didn’t even know what I was up to but she was already so interested and invested.
"Really, I need to get going now. I have things to do." I said, attempting to turn around but she suddenly grabbed my arm. "You..."
"Let’s be friends." She suddenly said, which took my breath away for a second. What did she say?
Solin smiled at while I stared at her, puzzled.
Is it because of the at?
Is it because she finds more interesting than scheming and foolish Veyra?
Or... Is it because I’ve suddenly beco her sister in law and she wants to size up a little more closely?
Solin is a wonderful character. She has charisma in that stoic and blunt attitude of hers.
She’s also very attractive, so she has no problem getting a spouse, though she’s still single.
But the fact that she’s a wonderful character who wants to co close to , who wants to be my friend makes very suspicious.
Does she have an ulterior motive?
And the way she’s looking at . The interest she has in is quite deep.
It I accept her, I can finally have a friend, but I’m paranoid and insecure. Unlike spouses who can’t betray you once they mark you, having friends was a different thing.
If she has ulterior motives and is approaching just to use then I need to know what it is.
I don’t want to blindly accept her request to be friends, fall for her closeness and then start bonding with her, only to discover that she was never after from the start.
’There’s sothing I have that she wants.’ if I just keep that in the back of my head then I won’t end up getting hurt once it’s revealed later.
Yes. I won’t get used like ’that ti’.
"You don’t want to?" She asked, suddenly blinking as if she had read my intentions to turn her down.
"It’s because I don’t know you, Solin."
"But you accepted my brother as your spouse without knowing him for long." She said and I rolled my eyes away.
"Well, that’s a little different, you know. And I like Fenric. Since he liked back, I guess it was only natural I accepted him." I said and she narrowed her eyes.
"Then, does that an you don’t like ?" She asked and I flinched.
Why was she making an issue out of this?
"That’s not it. I think you’re beautiful, attractive and a wonderful female but..." I pursed my lips and decided to just speak my mind. "I don’t know how you are as a friend. I don’t know if you’re loyal or the backstabbing type. I’m sure you might’ve already heard of my reputation in this tribe. I’m very popular, but not for anything good. No one likes and I... I’ve been hurt by everyone. So, if you want to be my friend despite knowing that, I find it even more suspicious and want to step back. But if you can give a reason why you want to be friends, and I believe you, I’ll accept it. Solin, I don’t like to be betrayed."
My words landed heavily and the air grew tense.
The birds on the trees tweeted away and the wind blew. Between us, I don’t know if our relationship will go in the familiar direction or as that of enemies.
"I heard about it." Solin finally spoke up. "But I don’t care what they say. I’ve decided that most of the tribe folks in this tribe are stupid."
I blinked twice, surprised. That was unexpected.
"And they lack common sense," she waved her hand a bit and then looked at . "You, on the other hand, you’re incredible and even know things I don’t know. I think you’re the kind of person I want to be friends with."
"Doesn’t that an you’re just looking for soone capable to use?" I asked and she paused.
She began to think, her hand pressed on her chin.
"Hm, I didn’t think of it that way." She mumbled. "It does seem that I want to use you since you’re so incredible. But is it wrong to want to be friends with soone incredible? Should I approach this in another way?"
Why is she suddenly having a monologue with such a serious expression?
She looked like she was having a crisis with her thoughts and as I stared at her, she suddenly seed... Cute.
I laughed and she raised her head, wondering why I was laughing.
"Solin, are you doing this because of the at?" I asked and noticed her ears twitch and then her face heated up.
Ah, so it was the at.
"It tasted so good." She said, dropping her palms on her cheeks and suddenly squirming.
She looked like an highschool girl that was just confessed to by her crush.
Did she like it that much?
Well, I guess it’s a given since the difference between eating raw at and at seasoned with salt are worlds apart.
"I really want to be your friend, Arinya." She said, turning serious again.
She stood straight, looking straight in the eye with sincerity in her eyes.
"You’re nice, sharing your knowledge. And also... Since you’re brother Fenric’s female now, doesn’t that an you’re my sister now? I want us to get along."
She stretched her hand.
I looked at her, my insides slightly panicking.
Now that she beca serious with her words, it felt like I was being given a responsibility that was heavier than my boobs.
I looked at her hand.
If I took her hand now, doesn’t that an I accept?
But...
"I..." I imdiately turned, taking to my heals as I yelled. "I’ll think about it so stop following ."
I ran with a heated face.
To be honest, I feel embarrassed being wanted by my fellow female, even if what she wanted was just to be friends. No funny thoughts.
She was a wonderful character... And yet she thinks so highly of .
It should feel like a honor. Yes, a honor but... I just can’t calm down.
