Jinju
When the other girl doesn’t object her coming closer – or if she did, she at least didn’t show it – the smile upon her lips grows wider. Another few steps closes more of the distance between them and Lilitha’s shivering make her want to step even closer, to shield the other girl from the cold. Like Reagan had done for her. However, the almost excited reply, the compliment, that she gets, flusters her. For a moment Jinju’s eyes are cast down, a shy smile pulling on her lips, before she carefully dares to meet Lilitha’s golden gaze again. ”Eh, thanks.. Your name is pretty too.” After all, it was polite to give a compliment back when you received one. And it wasn’t a lie at all. Lilitha’s name was elegant, but bold at the same time.
When Lilitha’s smile falters, her own does too. Had she said something wrong? Jinju tries to study the other girl’s face, but she doesn’t have enough experience to understand that what she sees. Her own face shows her worry for the other girl and the conflict she’s struggling with. ”You don’t have a home?” she asks, voice soft and careful, as if she’s afraid to anger or upset her new found friend. So in an attempt to show that she meant well, Jinju steps forward, pushing herself across her own boundary of what she’s comfortable with, to gently brush her nose across Lilitha’s shoulder, trying to offer the red haired girl some comfort. ”I’m sorry.. I .. I shouldn’t have asked.” She pauses, hesitantly looking for Lilitha’s gaze, as she nibbles her own lip somewhat worriedly. ”What is it like? To fly, I mean.” Just like that she changes the subject, not able to keep the silence between them drag on, as Jinju felt somewhat uncomfortable by it herself. She didn’t want to scare the other girl away, knowing that she then would be alone again.
