"What were you doing?" Orisis asked me.
"Drinking tea with the Emperor." I responded.
"Oh, Are you going to stay?" he asked me.
"No, I came because I'm leaving with you now, plus I promised." I informed him.
"Oh, Yeah." he responded awkwardly as he rubbed his neck.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked him.
"Nothing, Are you hungry? I am hungry." he spoke.
"Then we will have to eat." I responded.
"Though I'm not really hungry," I added.
"Let's go to a restaurant near the palace." he blurted out as his cheeks reddened.
"Okay." I said as I walked behind him.
'He could not possibly like me. Right?' I asked myself as I walked next to him.
'He is probably shy because I asked to be friends.' I reasoned with myself as I nodded my head.
'Yes, that is the only possible outcome' I assured myself.
