Thread: A Hero's Return (LadyYunaFFX2 & Kiroz's 1x1)

Xiu Zhao Between her mother's words and this new friend of hers, Le gave them both a smile and nod. Besides, now that she took the opportunity to gaze at the windows that had been pointed out, they did seem sturdy enough. Alright, I will. She reassured them. Within moments, the two women joined Brian at the table, being on either side of him. The request for wine made Xui unable to blush. It'd be a first for her. She'd never had time or money to drink before now. Ah well, this did seem like one of the better times and days to do so. After all, her family was reunited -- even if Le didn't yet know that. It was enough of a reason to take up some. But more than not spoiling herself, Le never really got that honor much. And she definitely deserved to also be able to choose whatever she wanted without worrying on price. Onyx hues went to glance down at the menu as she gave a nod of acknowledgement to Brian, gazing over the items. Le, do you know what you want for your own drink? She asked, trying to narrow down all the temptations that kept catching her eyes. So many types of steaks and fine dining items, many of which she'd never been able to actually cook for the two of them. Oh yes, this would definitely be a very nice change of pace. There was practically no hesitation from the young girl's behalf. Milk and spaghetti also. Xui merely gave Brian a smile, as if to silently hint it was clear whose appetite and taste palette the girl had inherited. Not but seconds after that, she noted she was the only one left, making her own cheeks redden in embarrassment. Thankfully though, she'd narrowed it down enough to make a decision. The 12 ounce rib eye with fries on the side ... please, cooked medium well. As she finished handing her own and Le's menus to the waiter, she heard footsteps nearby them and caught sight of the Purple Heart medal and others shaking Brian's hand. The same mixed emotions of pride and pain flooded Xui. That all but confirmed whatever had happened had been both good and bad in it's own ways. All the same, it'd gained Brian a massive amount of respect. Her head looked up towards the ceiling, lightly shaking no. This is no time to cry ... She tried to plead with herself, exhaling softly as she looked back down again. The question addressed to Le, though, managed to get her distracted well enough. She knew the answer .. but still gave her attention to her daughter. Mhm, I do have friends ... mainly the few but very loyal kinds. Math is annoying and definitely my least favorite class. Hm ... I think I like --- But then her young onyx eyes caught the innocent but still very sincere kiss to her mother's hand. Are you sure you're just her friend and not a boyfriend? Now now ... The words still made Xui unable to help but blush and chuckle softly. That may be a bit nosy. Simultaneously, she knew it wasn't her fault and the smile given to Le said that much. Well ... if Brian hadn't figured it out yet, there was the obvious clue that their child could pick up quickly on things if given enough clues. And that kiss had been a very major one. Sorry. Um ... reading, geography are probably my favorites. Anything but Math really. She managed to answer, nodding to herself as she made certain to avoid forgetting anything. Simultaneously, she went quiet, wondering if her own question would get answered back.
