Welcome to Gaia! ::

Being encouraged to look up both physically and mentally, Vermina managed a bashful smile of appreciation in return. She may have made progress with her self-confidence over the years, but she knew well enough that she still had work to do. Times like this made that all the more obvious to her. She was always intent on helping others, so working on herself tended to take up the rear of the priorities.

Besides, Tyiva made being supportive sound like she didn't actually need to change anything she was already doing. Speaking on occasion? No judgement? No expectations? Perhaps she could make a point of running into Danika rather than just waiting for the accidental interactions to happen. Just once in a while, of course! Perhaps she really could do this?

"The only trouble is that now there is one more on Chibale saddened to know you are leaving," she teased with a warm smile. She could see why Tyiva and Danika had gotten along outside of the mystic relations. "I wish I had the time to know you better before you go." She chewed her lip a moment before nodding. "I am glad to give Danika a friendly ear whenever she has need."

Vermina giggled lightly. "As it is, it sounds as I missed out so that you could find that love you are leaving for. I am sad, yes, but you are meant to be happier without." Brow rising, she looked out over the water and sighed contently. It looked like the boat to Chibale would be a while yet. "Tyiva, I will be glad to share whatever time is left on a walk." Cheeks heating slightly, she gave a small nod. "I feel she and I have both gotten benefit from our interactions together. I will be happy for more time with her when she needs."

She held out a hand for Tyiva to lead the way. "What is your spar weapon of choice?"

Great benefits? Would she quantify those interactions as such? ..Of course she would. The realization only made he blush heat that much easier at the teasing implication. More?! Oh, Aisha, how was she to respond without making her budding feelings obvious? Had she already been so obvious? Why was she obvious?! "I-I suppose they can...!"

She was relieved to be pulled along and have a moment to breathe, happy to focus on a more stable subject as they walked "I use the bow and arrow. That would make for an interesting spar, indeed." Well, a fairly stable subject. Fighting was not her forte, but it was a more comfortable subject to end the evening with than the other option.
