We're getting closer to our destination, but we've still got plenty of ground to cover. All this ti in my head with my thoughts has made realize sothing. limora and I aren't as close as I'd like us to be. This has co to my attention thanks to the many things I've seen with Hailey and Cera. The sibling relationship they have is sothing I want for li and .
li has beco distant these last few days, hardly even talking to anymore. It's natural for people to drift apart, but I didn't think this would happen with li and . "Have you been well since the last ti we talked?" Speaking of limora, she's having a conversation with Ashburn. He's a good man, and he likes li. It's not hard to see he's interested in her.
She's a big girl that can observe things for what they are. She doesn't need my help or input. I'm leading the group alone by about 10 feet. "Depends on what your definition for well is, Ash. To , things have been at a far lower standard than I'd like them at, but I can't complain due to what we're doing right now." Yes, who would've thought we'd end up going after the royal family.
Ashburn stays silent, and there is tension between the two. Mostly from li's response. When a person that's interested in you asks you how you're doing, it's a question to see if now is a good ti to talk about sothing more. People think that asking the ones they like personal questions in a hard ti is a bad thing.
I couldn't really tell you if they are or not, those are things that I've observed over my life from the interactions of those around . "I'll be honest, limora. I wasn't expecting that answer. You normally have the sa two answers. One answer is fine, and the second answer is slow. This is the first ti I've heard you talk like this before." He listens to her... That's sweet...
Rare to find in a man these days... Elven n especially. He passes the bar that's been set all these years, and he could fetch any girl he wanted due to these traits. He's got his heart and eyes firmly set on li, though. "There is sothing I can say that's insensitive in response to that, but I'm not going to say it." A single chuckle cos from my lips at li's response.
She's been like this for as long as I can rember, and it's one of the qualities that Ashburn likes. If he didn't, he would've stopped trying 55 years ago. "I'm glad you didn't, then. You're words cut deeper than you think, limora. You know that, right?" She doesn't respond, and the quiet tension between the two gets worse as ti goes on.

It's strange seeing soone as stiff and rigid as limora having soone interested in her... It goes to show that soone is out there for everyone. Poor Ashburn... He's trying his best, but he's not getting much from her. She either doesn't know or is so uninterested in Ashburn that she'd rather drive him off with the cold shoulder.
Cera is walking next to and is watching with an amused look on his face. He moves closer to and lowers his head to whisper. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" No, I know that I'm not. He's probably scheming sothing that will cause so sort of conflict. He rolls his eyes as I turn my head away from him and let out a huff.
I'll not participate in childish behavior. I'm over 100 years old, and I'll not be involved in whatever he's planning. "Just enjoy the show then, cause this is going to be fun." He starts to walk forward, but I grab his hand and try to drag him back away from the two ahead of us. He stops and looks back at , seeing the drag marks from my boots in the dirt.

She's being a spoilsport with the way she's trying to prevent from speeding Ashburn's and limora's awkward and cringy conversation. "You're not going over there if it ans I have to make you..." She tries talking in an angry whisper, and she's not wrong in this situation. I'm not doing this to be an. I'm doing this to help both of them.
Sotis an uncomfortable topic or conversation needs a little push. limora either doesn't know or refuses to acknowledge Ashburn's feelings. What I'm doing is opening the door and bringing it out in the open. While it is fun to do this. Ashburn could end up wasting his ti in the end. This will give him the answer he needs.
ilmora is soone who prefers direct confrontation, the quickest path. He'll waste too many years on limora if he continues trying to do it this way. "Sally... What would you do?" My low whispered question causes her to raise her eyebrows in shock. Assuming that I would already know the answer to that. Which I do.
She'll say that it's none of her business and we should stay out of it, and she's right. When sothing is right, it doesn't always an it's the thing you need to do. Doing the wrong thing at the right ti can be far more useful than doing the right thing at the right ti. "Of course I wouldn't interfere, you idiot!?" She lets out a yelling whisper.

Cera starts walking again, and I watch Sally struggle to stop him with all her might. It's like watching soone try and stop a car. Her legs are slowly sinking into the ground the closer Cera gets to Ashburn and limora. He makes it to them, and they both look at him in confusion. They look over his shoulder and see Sally trying her hardest.
His eyes et limora's, and he looks at Ashburn. Ashburn realizes what's about to happen and slowly starts to panic. "You know that Ashburn likes you, right?" His question hits the ears of everyone present, and I soon hear stifled laughter from the girl I'm walking next to. I softly elbow Jasmine's shoulder to get her to stop talking.
Ashburn has a look of horror on his face, like doom as befallen him. It's a hilarious expression! I have to try my hardest from seeing the expression. It's one of the funniest I've ever seen. limora raises an eyebrow and looks at Ashburn. "You like ?" So she didn't know, that's a good thing and a bad thing. Mostly good, though.
Ashburn looks like a deer caught in the headlights, he's at a loss for words. He does his best to straighten up and compose himself from his flustered state. limora is waiting for an answer with a genuinely curious look on her face. "Yeah... I've liked you for a long ti... Is that weird for you?" His nervous voice levels out after getting over the worst of it.
The entire group has stopped now that this is happening, she looks him in the eyes and she takes a small breath. "It's not weird, in my opinion. That explains why you're always nervous around , I thought you hated or sothing." He has a dumbfounded expression on his face, that's not a rejection, but it's not a reciprocation either. He turns his head towards Cera, with dead eyes.
