Like a flower waiting to bloom.
A pair of lavender ears pin forward as he starts telling her about ‘old Beqanna’. Nobody had ever mentioned such like that, and Kylin had never even thought of the possibility. Why would she? Nothing about the new lands made her guess that the world was still young. The tree in front of them as proof of it. How could it not be at least hundreds of years old? But who was she to question Ivar’s words? ”Just like that?” she asks, a slight confused frown between her brows. ”Why would that be?”
Until the time Mother had suggested that they could go out too, Kylin had never really thought of leaving Ischia in favor to explore elsewhere. Their jungle had still so much more to offer, tough she would have to admit that their little vacation to Hyaline had been very fun too. That moment Kylin decides that next time she should go to Sylva to visit Ivar, after all, he had come all the way to Ischia for her.
And from what he tells her, it surely would be an amazing sight to take in. The corners of her lips curl up until she’s smiling widely. ”It sounds wonderful though. Our jungle is always green, the colors of autumn must be really pretty too!” It would also be a very nice change from the green she looked at every day. Ivar next words make Kylin even smile wider, which was still very much possible if you would wonder that. ”I’d like that! And I promise I’ll show you I’ve gotten better than” she grins at him, nodding her head eagerly a few times.
She would have to practise a lot though, is she ever would want to impress him. Not to show off, just eager to show him that she did like the experience and that she genuinely wanted to join him in his joy and love for swimming. She already loved the water after all. ”Is there a lot to see, not only in Sylva I mean? You’ve been at so many places in this new Beqanna.”
With the first idea of exploring beyond Ischia, having had the first taste of it through Ivar’s words, Kylin now longs to see more.
