" Yo, if it isn't Leia. "
A familiar voice calls out to her, one that the brunette knew well. Calm and collected-she could tell that he has been doing especially well, after the last time they saw each other. Turning her had to the path that leads down towards the Leronde Seahaven, she was greeted by the businessman, grinning and everything with a hand held up in the air. What was Alvin, of all people, doing here...?
" A-...Alvin... "
Her hands came to a halt once more, as forest green hues fixated themselves on the purple clad male. His reappearance in her life left the brunette to stand there in shock. That he even gathered the courage to face her again, it only made her feel more pathetic. That Alvin, of all people, took the time to show his face around her again and she still had trouble in responding to his letter.
" You're dressed differently than usual, I almost had trouble recognizing you. " Right, the last time he saw her, she was in a bodysuit plus robe. Now, the teen was dressed in something suitable to keep her warm from the chilling breeze and to hide away the aspyrix from curious eyes. " If it wasn't for your headdress, I would've passed you up. "
" I-...I see... " hesitation was found in her voice with her head kept low. This is shameful, if the brunet could speak to her like before then why couldn't she do the same? Could she not forgive him still? No, Leia just wasn't prepared.
Eyes slowly moved up to see what sort of expression he held on his face. A serious one, but his eyes seemed focused on something...her leg? Then it hit her, maybe she could use it as a conversation starter. " If...you're wondering about the aspyrix you had Jude delivered, I'm using it. " Brown eyes widened and a gap was formed between his lips at her words as his gaze went to her face. " That's...what you're wondering about, isn't it? "
" Yeah, that's right. " he agreed. " I was just a bit surprised to see you doing well in a short amount of time. "
" What are you talking about? It's been over half a year since your journey ended. " Leia informed him as Alvin gave a shrug and she couldn't help but smile at his reaction. Now feeling thankful for his attitude towards her, it made talking to him a lot easier. " I never got to thank you...for this. " she lifted her skirt high enough for him to see the aspyrix that's attached to her thigh. Alvin gave her the same expression as he did before, when she mentioned it to him. It was...strange. " Hm? " Leia released her skirt, letting it drape over her leg once more and tilted her head to the side.
Shaking his head, he resumed his focus on her, "No, it's nothing. So, what were you saying? "
" I wanted to thank you for this. I...figured it would be better to tell you in person that...I also forgive you. " saying this was a lot easier than writing, she would admit to herself. And it seems like today is just filled with surprises for the older male, judging from the amount of times she saw the look of awe and shock coming from his face. " So, thank you, Alvin. "
