As he stands in the middle of the oncoming stormβthe stir of emotions thickening with each memory dancing behind his very eyesβa soft smile would remain on Evanesciaβs face. To behold the beauty of a person finding oneself had always been rather comforting and relieving, remaining her of every step sheβd taken to achieve the same ends. But then, she giggles.
βI donβt mean it in the most literal sense,β she corrects, but still listens to every word he has to say. A life on Planarcadia would be rather easy for him and his daughter. The thought of Aemaeth coming home to spill brainrotted memes to her father, who was covered in fishy slime from a long, hard dayβnow that is entertaining, offering a homely delight that sent a soothing reassurance to her beating heart. βSeafeld City would offer you both a very warm welcome if you were to pursue that life.β
To see in his very eyes the love he holds for his daughter was nothing short of heart wrenching, especially when the glow of the circumstances follow. But the way he clutches at every opportunity to ensure her safety, the very essence of his soul screaming to offer her warmthβit made her want to stay close by to watch it all unfold.
For now, she would let the playful spark speak for her.
βYou have a best friend?β Evanescia is quick to quip back, a giggle following right after. βYou have a lot of fans out there, Zhao. You could be with anyone you wanted in the world. Why do you remain single?β She has always wanted to know.
