Blushing ten times more than before, Shionne ducked her head, looking like she was trying to avoid Alphen's gaze - though the smile couldn't quite be suppressed as much as she would have liked. By the time Dohalim, Kisara and Rinwell - with Law trotting behind lugging some large branches - made their appearance, Shionne had scooted back as much as she could. Though if Alphen still didn't let go of her hand, she made no attempt to pull it away either. "A-ah, you're back.." Sooo casuallll...

Kisara was too excited over having fished up a huge trout to notice the awkwardness, and held it up instead proudly. "It put up a good fight, but I was the victor eventually. We should have plenty even for you Shionne. How are you feeling?"

Shionne barely kept herself from glancing at Alphen, but she was notably more pleasant in her response, "I feel .. good. I suppose resting was the right idea after all." And Resting with Alphen, doubly so.

Dohalim m a a y have noticed what happened, but he wasn't talking. Rinwell and Law were clueless, but Kisara glanced over at Shionne in surprise for a second, then smiled. "I'm glad you're in better spirits too. Alphen, how about you? Feeling better? I'll be able to get the food prepared in a little under an hour if you're hungry."
