Since Noor took the confession topic, Aria continued about her and Alan so that Noor shouldn't misunderstand the awkwardness. They continued their walk at the speed of the turtle as she glanced towards Alan.
As though there was a telepathic messenger, he lifted his head and looked at her. There was no smile on his face but she knew he was delighted to catch her eyes on him.
"My Guardian, livid at that." She looked back to Noor, "When I got clues, I had told Evvie and she had laughed at me, teased me as your friends did to you. But when Alan actually confessed to me, there was no confusion, I was young so there was a little awkwardness but those weren't ones that would make me stay away from him."
Noor nodded a few times as she understood, she doesn't have to avoid Arsh just because she felt awkward. The topic was getting heavy for her as she discerned one after the other.
